When Shalnark and Chrollo finally entered, they saw Uvogin and Phinks posting something on the wall.
"What is this?"
Shalnark, especially curious today, also came over.
"Luke said to stick them all on the wall over there."
Pakunoda, checking from the back, said: "It's called something like... Wallpaper House."
Invention: Wallpaper House
Origin: Doraemon World — Future Tech Company
Function: Also known as wall newspaper. When pasted on the wall, it forms a magical wallpaper room. Opening the door on the wallpaper leads to a space inside.
This was a set, with various specialized types of Wallpaper Houses, such as Wallpaper Studio, Wallpaper Office, Wallpaper Cafe, and so on.
Just a few simple wallpapers were enough to provide the group with a very comfortable living base.
"Of course, someone still needs to be watching from outside."
Luke explained the function of the Wallpaper House: "They are primarily attached to the wall, but if they're torn off the wall and rolled up into a ball, then anyone still inside will be trapped, unable to escape. So, someone has to stand guard outside and protect the Wallpaper House."
"I don't have any requirements for my living environment."
Feitan stood there motionless, showing no desire to enter the Wallpaper House: "And I don't like entrusting my safety to others."
"I prefer to firmly grasp it myself."
"If you say so."
Nobunaga tapped his shoulder with the handle of his katana: "I feel the same way."
Both of them had crawled their way through the line between life and death countless times, so they were extremely cautious when it came to safety.
"Whatever, I just want to hurry to Yorknew City already!"
Uvogin, whose brain was full of nothing but muscles, could no longer contain himself.
"Let's find that damned chairman!"
He shouted impatiently, itching to find the target.
This reckless, impulsive behavior, acting without considering preparation or consequences, was typical of an enhancer.
"Wait a moment, Uvogin."
Luke dissuaded him: "I know you're anxious, but wait."
"Once we have figured out the chairman of the Mom's Help Foundation's exact movements, it won't be too late to act."
"Figure out his movements... And how are we supposed to do that?!"
When it came to fighting or killing, Uvogin's head suddenly became clear.
"If we stay here, we'll never learn anything about that guy."
"Then..."
Uvogin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked with anticipation: "Are we going to track that bastard?!"
"I can do that job!!!"
Luke: "..."
Others: "..."
It seems Uvogin had no sense of self-awareness in certain aspects.
The others, including Chrollo, looked him up and down.
That bodybuilder-like appearance made everyone shake their heads.
He was far too conspicuous; he looked like a savage.
With that massive build and his menacing aura that screamed predator, if he went outside, people would probably mistake him for a terrorist and arrest him on the spot.
As for tracking someone? That was pure fantasy.
"Tracking is fine, but we don't need to do it ourselves."
Luke waved his hand, interrupting Uvogin's unrealistic fantasy.
Uvogin: "...?"
If not us, then who?
Can others be trusted? And if they expose us, can we kill them?
Those were his first instinctive thoughts.
But the moment he saw Luke take out a strange new device, he understood instantly.
Using an invention to track the target?
Then it was fine.
Uvogin and others have always trusted Luke's inventions.
This time was no exception.
"With this Spy Set, we can do it."
Luke revealed something shaped like a human head model.
On it were eyes, ears, and a mouth.
He gently twisted a yellow switch on top of its head.
Immediately, the eyes and ears flew off.
"Go monitor the situation of the chairman of the Mom's Help foundation, Risnorth, in real time."
Luke gave the order, and the eyes and ears immediately flew away.
Then, the mouth at the head opened automatically, projecting the image captured by the Spy Set's eyes.
"So this is Luke's tracking device?!"
Everyone crowded around, watching in curiosity.
From the mouth's projection, the scene shifted continuously, with the sound of rushing wind in the background.
Looking closely, they could tell it was showing the streets of Yorknew City!
Invention: Spy Set
Origin: Doraemon world — Future Tech Company
Function: Based on a human face model. Once the switch is activated, the eyes and ears fly out.
After being given a target, they automatically track and monitor that person. The mouth projects what the eyes see and the ears hear.
This gadget was originally used by Doraemon and Nobita to spy on Suneo for revenge.
A tool advanced enough for spying between nations was used by two kids for petty revenge; it was absurd.
But now, in Luke's hands, it was being put to its proper use.
The other members quickly grasped how it worked.
They found it convenient, but…
"The eyes and ears are a bit too big, and they look obvious. Won't people notice them?"
Shalnark rubbed his chin and voiced his concern.
"No need to worry."
Luke smiled. "They will automatically evade detection and ensure that no one notices them. Otherwise, what kind of spying device would it be if it could be spotted so easily?"
A 22nd-century invention like this was practically a complete dimensionality reduction strike when used in the 1980s.
A toy for kids in that century, but in the 80s, 90s, 2000s, or even 2020s, it would be considered a treasure.
"Let's leave everything to them. It will be fine..."
Luke said as he carried the device into one of the Wallpaper Houses that had already been set up.
"For now, there's no need to rush. Let's sit down, drink some tea, eat some snacks, and calmly gather intelligence; that's what matters most."
When Luke entered the Wallpaper Cafe, he noticed that only Shalnark, Chrollo, and Pakunoda followed him inside.
Uvogin, Nobunaga, Phinks, and Feitan stayed outside.
Even Franklin didn't come in with them.
"I'll keep watch by the door for you guys."
Franklin's muffled voice came from the doorway.
Well, he's truly worthy of being a big brother. In times like this, he's always incredibly reliable.
"Aren't you worried about being trapped in here?"
Luke put down his Spy Set and asked the three people who had entered with a smile.
"Since it's your invention, Captain..."
Shalnark was the first to smile brightly. "Then I think it will be fine."
This was a direct expression of his unwavering trust in Luke.
