The scene shifts to the other side.

After the man left, he reunited with the previous man in a concealed spot on the plane.

The previous man looked somewhat puzzled and asked, "Why did it take you so long? Did something happen?"

In response, the man just waved his hand slightly and said, "Nothing much, just had a slight stomachache, so it took a bit longer. Sorry for making you wait."

"It's alright, it didn't have much impact. There's no need to apologize. It was beyond your control, and I understand. By the way, did you get the gun?"

"Yes, of course."

With that, the man partially revealed the gun he had obtained.

After confirming, the previous man reached into his clothing and felt the handgun inside.

"Alright then, let's proceed with the original plan quickly."

"Yes."

So, the two of them prepared to take action.

Just then, a voice came from behind them.

"To the two passengers over there, if there's nothing wrong, please refrain from walking around the cabin. It can be troubling for us."

It was the flight attendant who had just taken a pregnant woman to the medical office.

Oh, perfect timing.

Thinking this, the previous man quickly lunged forward, circled around behind the flight attendant, covered their mouth with his left hand, and placed the gun against their temple with his right hand.

"Mmm..."

Faced with this sudden situation, the flight attendant made panicked sounds, but because their mouth was covered, it was only inarticulate murmurs.

The man calmly threatened, "Don't move. As long as you don't scream, I won't hurt you."

"..."

Perhaps understanding the man's intention, upon hearing these words, the flight attendant stopped struggling.

"If you agree, nod your head."

After the man finished speaking, the flight attendant immediately nodded.

Receiving the signal, the man released his left hand covering the flight attendant's mouth, but maintained the current situation with his right hand.

Then, with a somewhat commanding tone, the man said, "Could you please take us to the cockpit?"

****************************************************

The location is the cockpit of the plane.

Because the weather and other conditions are good today, there aren't any major issues with the flight.

Two people are piloting the aircraft, a captain and a first officer.

Both of them are employees of the national airline company. They may not be very familiar with each other, but they have worked together for a considerable time.

At this stage of the flight, there isn't anything particularly special to do.

After all, the autopilot function of the plane has become increasingly advanced, reducing the workload of the pilots significantly.

However, this doesn't mean that pilots are not needed anymore. After all, there are still many safety issues with autopilot. For a plane carrying hundreds of passengers, safety is of utmost importance. Unlike unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, there is no room for any mistakes, no matter how small the probability may be.

Therefore, to compensate for this drawback, experienced pilots are still assigned to airplanes. But even so, they are currently quite idle. To pass the time, the captain engages in casual conversation with the first officer. Although their positions may differ, it seems that their communication flows smoothly.

"What flight is this for you today?"

The address was very direct, but it didn't mean a lack of respect for the other person. In fact, it was the opposite, as they were familiar enough to use such a direct address.

"Well... if we count from midnight, this is already the third flight," the co-pilot sighed wearily.
