Otherworld Girl Development Guide

If it really was the cult that did it, then the children's disappearance is definitely not a coincidence; they wouldn't have only captured Colin.

“You suspect…” Sergei nodded solemnly, “...I’ll go and ask the police station right away.”

“Let’s go out and help too!” Randy and Lloyd said from the side.

"I'll go help too," Warrant Officer Mireille said, also offering her assistance.

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you..." Zhou Mingrui glanced at the time: "...No matter the outcome, come to the support department at five o'clock this afternoon to meet up."

After nodding, the group put on their coats and left the room, leaving only Zhou Mingrui's family and the doorman Shi Qiang in the support department.

"We need intelligence. Let's activate the rotorcraft and do some reconnaissance." This kind of non-combat mission is fine to entrust to the two little girls, especially since it concerns Bell's younger brother.

"Ok!"

The two kittens nodded and quickly walked to the equipment controlling the gyroplane, inputting the reconnaissance path into the large gyroplane.

Soon after, two large, lightly equipped rotorcraft, carrying additional battery pods, took off to conduct reconnaissance over the city of Krobel.

However, the population in Krobel is simply too large, and the effectiveness of aerial reconnaissance is very limited. It's a pity this isn't Earth, otherwise, with the rabbit's system, all these infiltrators would have been found out within an hour!

Time passed slowly, and it was approaching 5 p.m. The meeting between Shangqiu and Krobel had come to an end. Zhou Mingrui had not yet asked about the specific details.

The diplomatic team from Shangqiu will be staying at the IBC International Bank, which is now arguably the safest place in all of Kroborsk.

"How about it?"

Zhou Mingrui reached out and placed his hands on the heads of Bell and Tio.

Bell pouted, and Tio shook his head. The gyroplane had scanned almost the entirety of Krobel but found nothing suspicious. However, it had created a detailed map of Krobel in the database, and the map matching data was in hand...

The door creaked open, and the first to return was Sergei, who had gone to the police station; his face was somewhat gloomy.

"An investigation revealed that children began going missing two days ago. Five cases have been reported so far, but there are more that haven't been reported..."

Sergei didn't say what came next: many people in the Old Town distrusted the police, believing they only served the wealthy in Clober and cared nothing for the poor. If a child went missing in the Old Town, they would simply search the streets themselves...

"Let's wait for Lloyd and the others to come back."

Sergei sighed, "That's all we can do."

Fifteen minutes later, Randy, Lloyd, and Mireille entered the support area for Corne.

Lloyd looked terrible, as did the other two.

"We've found out. Based on the inquiries, at least ten children are missing..."

Compared to the police officers at the police station, the poor in the old city trust the support department more, thanks in large part to Ellie's efforts to reach out to the people.

Sure enough... compared to children from wealthy families, children from poor families in the old city are more likely to be targeted.

“I think those children are still inside Krobel.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Mingrui said, "After all, there are so many children, and it's not easy to move them out. Krobel is not a village in the suburbs. The problem is how to find them!"

At this point, the information available on the surface is no longer useful; we need to activate some special undercover agents to gather intelligence!

Zhou Mingrui looked at Shi Qiang, who nodded, took out a private phone from his pocket, and walked to a quiet corner.

The back alley, the headquarters of Red Star.

Red Star is currently the second largest gang in Krobel, second only to the Rubacher Merchant Guild. The gang secretly operates some specialty products and also wholesales them to shops and bars belonging to the gang... Isn't it normal for a gang organized by people from Shangqiu to sell products from Shangqiu?

The gang members recruited not only had to receive regular ideological education, but also literacy training to learn how to be better gang members.

boom!

Chan Ho-nam kicked open the door to Stans's room and stared at Stans, who was rolling around in bed with a woman, his face dark.

"ah!"

The prostitute screamed and covered her body with the bed sheet. Chen Haonan gave her a cold look, and she immediately slunk out of the room.

"Chan Ho-nam! What are you doing?!" Stans looked at Chan Ho-nam and Chicken behind him with suspicion and shock. The sudden fright almost made him impotent.

Chen Haonan stepped forward and pinned him to the bed, then pulled out a dagger and held it to Stans's neck. Compared to the beginning, Stans had gained at least ten pounds, and there was also excess fat on his stomach.

"Have you forgotten what I said?!"

"What?" Stans looked at Chen Haonan in bewilderment.

"Where!" Chen Haonan thrust the dagger forward, and blood appeared on Stans's neck, startling him. His privileged life had weakened him, and he had no intention of resisting.

"What are you talking about?!"

Stans looked at Chan Ho-nam with a mixture of shock and fear; the other man's eyes were truly murderous.

"Child, are you involved in human trafficking?!"

The dagger plunged a little deeper, and Stans seemed to sense the approach of death. He quickly shouted, "I didn't kidnap any children, really! I swear to the truth!"

Having spent so much time with the people of Shangqiu, he found them to be easy to get along with in general... but they have almost zero tolerance for those who traffic children!

Upon hearing this, Chan Ho-nam stared intently at Stans, seemingly analyzing whether his words were credible.

--------------------------------------

The Republic of Kalva, suburbs of Altair.

At the D∴G Order branch, the gray-robed elder put down his book, looked up at the map of the Krobel Autonomous State, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Did the plan go smoothly?"

"Don't worry, sir! We didn't use the people who had infiltrated Shangqiu in order to muddy the water even more..." the hunter leader said in a deep voice.

"Very well, let's wait patiently now."

Two more days... This operation will likely be a devastating blow to Klopp, and it's not impossible that he will never recover. It has undoubtedly perfectly thwarted Shangqiu's strategy.

But that's not enough... To kill someone, you must destroy their spirit. Not only should we deal with Shangqiu, but we should also ruin their reputation and smear them with more mud!

"I remember there are some reporters we control, right? After this is all over, we'll have them spread the word that this is... the wrath of the goddess!"

"Yes, my lord!"

After the leader of the Hunter Corps left, a sinister laugh echoed in the room.

The old man in the gray robe suddenly felt good and wanted to have some fun, so he got up and walked towards the cell where the experimental subjects were being held.

The night is perfect, so which lucky person should we choose today?

Chapter 76 The Mermaid in the Sewers

Chen Haonan stared at Stans for a few seconds, and only released him after confirming that he wasn't lying.

"Cough cough..." Stans touched his neck and felt a bloodstain. He stared at Chan Ho-nam with shock and fear: "...Chan Ho-nam, what's wrong with you!"

"Hmph~" Chan Ho-nam snorted lightly: "Many children have gone missing in Krober. Was it the work of the cult?"

"A missing child? I haven't received any orders from the cult to collect experimental subjects!"

Stans quickly said that this superior life was much more comfortable than being in the cult, and he didn't want to break his current superior life. Even if the cult sent someone, he would find a way to kill them. He wasn't one of those fanatical believers with screws in their heads.

Believing in the truth is my job, but Mira is my life!

"Maybe it was done by another gang!"

Chan Ho-nam narrowed his eyes. Other gangs? The most suspicious one is the Rubacher Chamber of Commerce.

However, he had no evidence, and it was unclear whether the children were actually in the hands of the Rubacher Chamber of Commerce... He subtly gestured to the pheasant.

Special Mission Support Section.

Shi Qiang quickly walked to Zhou Mingrui's side, shook his head at him, indicating that it was not done by the cult, or rather, not by the cult's overt forces.

Cult or gang? We need more intelligence to analyze this!

However, it's best to leave such brain-intensive tasks to the professionals. The intelligence has already been sent to Shangqiu, and the national security intelligence department there must be busy.

The communication base station was built along the high-speed rail line all the way to the border between the Kingdom of Bel and Krobel. In addition, there was a communication base station on the roof of the Special Support Department building, so the signal has covered the entire Krobel area.

Once formal diplomatic relations are established, everyone entering Krobeler with a Shangqiu mobile phone will receive a text message:

"Welcome, Krobel..."

The only difference is that the signature is from Shangqiu Mobile/Telecom/Unicom.

"Let's wait, all we can do now is wait."

Zhou Mingrui said helplessly, "Sometimes it's like this. Only by waiting patiently can we get the best results. Taking action without the support of intelligence will only make us like headless flies."

Shangqiu National Security Bureau Branch.

When it comes to finding people, identifying spies, and conducting intelligence analysis, they are the real professionals. Don't be fooled by the fact that China's intelligence agencies don't show off; they are no less capable than those of the US and the US.

Soon, expert intelligence personnel are integrating and analyzing the collected information, connecting it all together with a single thread.

Don't underestimate the rabbit's intelligence department; who knows how many monstrous talents are inside.

Knock knock knock~ The head of the intelligence department pushed open the door and entered, saying with a serious expression:

"Minister, through intelligence analysis, we have discovered some anomalies..."

"Hmm?" The minister gestured for the supervisor to sit down. "Is there anything unusual?"

"The cult's actions are somewhat illogical, of course, cults don't really have any logic..." the supervisor said half-jokingly, "...After planning a suicide attack on the administrative district, the most likely thing they would do is go into hiding rather than immediately jump out to attract my attention."

"You mean to say that they might be plotting an even bigger attack!" The minister's expression turned serious.

Cults and terrorists—who knows what inhumane things they might do!

"Yes, we are still unclear about the methods of the subsequent attacks, and the territory is still in Krobel. Our ability to take action is limited, and we can only make thorough preparations."

No exaggeration, Shangqiu's emergency plans are just as comprehensive as Earth's. Although it may sound a bit impolite, the emergency plans include a contingency plan for Zhou Mingrui's sudden death... Shangqiu's population and current military strength are sufficient to survive on Mingrui Star after the portal is lost.

The minister nodded and continued, "So, regarding those trafficked children, where do you think the cult will place them?"

"The sewers!" The head of the intelligence department said after a moment of contemplation. "The most suitable and inconspicuous place to house these children is the sewers!"

Krobel's sewers are enormous in scale and exceptionally spacious; in other words, Krobel could be said to have been built on top of the sewers.

The Department of State Security sent the intelligence back to Klopper.

Sergei frowned upon receiving this information. Krobel's sewers... As a native of Krobel, he knew those maze-like sewers all too well; even locals could easily get lost inside.

What is a complex passageway for humans is a simple matter for drones, which can easily determine their location within the sewer.
