Otherworld Girl Development Guide

The Prime Minister's Residence in Heimdall, the Crimson Capital of the Rebonian Empire.

As Osborne watched the two suns slowly rise, he asked his assistant behind him in a low voice, "Is everything resolved?"

“I’m sorry, sir… we let Giddens and the others get away…” The assistant paused for a moment before continuing, “...but Captain Claire’s railway military police successfully captured a cult stronghold and obtained some evidence that is extremely detrimental to the noble faction.”

"Hmm...that's good news."

Osborne pondered how to use this evidence... The situation outside the empire is relatively stable at present. Although there is an unstable factor of Shangqiu, from the current observation, they only want to do business and their relationship with the Kingdom of Bel is becoming closer and closer. He would not be surprised if Princess Corliss were to marry a person from Shangqiu.

After eliminating the unstable sonic force of the Order, the continent will be divided into three major powers: the Rebonian Empire, the Republic of Calva, and a new power formed by the Kingdom of Bel and Shangqiu. The Central Krobel Autonomous State will become a buffer zone between the three powers.

The triangle is stable, and the three major powers will maintain a fragile balance. In other words, once the Empire signs an agreement with Shangqiu and the Republic of Calva, Osborne will be able to focus all his efforts on dealing with the conflict between the reformists and the nobles.

Once the outcome is decided, it will be time for Osborne to execute the next step of his plan. It will be time for the Rebonian Empire to expand outwards. After all, the reformists' ideology is to annex weaker neighboring states, increase tax revenue to expand military spending, and are emerging forces aiming to seize the interests of the great nobles.

"Prepare yourselves, it's time to confront the aristocratic faction. Until then, we will..."

Before the Iron-Blooded Chancellor could finish speaking, the door was pushed open, and a travel-worn Claire rushed into the room, saying solemnly, "Your Excellency, something has happened in the Republic of Calva!"

Chapter 140 A New Storm Has Appeared

The morning sun shone through the window into Zhou Mingrui's villa, causing him to open his eyes and immediately realize that he had fallen asleep without realizing it.

Just as he was about to get up to cook for the two kittens, he felt two soft things in his arms. Looking down, he saw Bell and Theo sleeping soundly in his arms.

Zhou Mingrui couldn't help but smile as he took a closer look at the two kittens sleeping soundly for the first time. As they grew older, the kittens' bodies gradually matured, and judging from their delicate features, they were destined to grow into great beauties.

Lingdang nestled in his arms, her little hands resting on his chest, her body curled up in a ball... It seemed that she still lacked a sense of security in her subconscious, but a sweet smile graced her face, as if she were having a sweet dream.

Theo clung tightly to his arm, as if she would disappear if she let go. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she, like Bell, was also having a sweet dream.

Zhou Mingrui's gaze shifted to the ceiling, his mind racing as he considered how to handle the children's fate...

If the children rescued from the cult can be found, they will be sent back. If they cannot be found and the higher-ups have no way to deal with them, Zhou Mingrui plans to establish an orphanage to adopt and educate them into adults.

From a broader perspective, adopting homeless children represents the rabbit's benevolence and morality. It's also a good opportunity to promote the rabbit's values ​​and establish "the rabbit's universal values" in this other world.

From a long-term perspective, based on the information gathered about the cult, the children they abducted are all exceptionally gifted or outstanding in a particular area. If they are properly educated, the rabbit will naturally acquire a group of highly intelligent talents!

At the same time, the Shangqiu Comprehensive Command received an emergency notification. After reviewing the intelligence, the commander-in-chief frowned deeply. He had thought the operation was over, but he never expected that something had happened in the Republic of Kalva, and it was no ordinary problem.

When did this happen?

"In just two hours, the situation has gradually spiraled out of control!"

The commander glanced at the map. Altair City was not far from one of the Order's secret strongholds, and it was also very close to the Kingdom of Bell. If they were not careful, the Kingdom of Bell might also be caught in the crossfire!

"Immediately contact the Republic of Kalva to initiate diplomatic communication!"

"Yes, Commander!"

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

At the cult headquarters on the outskirts of Altair, the agents of the Smith Agency are facing a crisis.

With a piercing scraping sound, Kirika's melee weapon clashed with the four-armed monster's scythe-like limbs, producing a metallic clang...

"My strength is alright..."

Feeling the power emanating from the four-armed monster, Kirika breathed a sigh of relief. At least in terms of strength, the operators weren't at a disadvantage. However, if they were surrounded, they would be torn apart by the monster's claws.

"Avoid prolonged fighting and retreat as soon as possible!"

"Understood, Director!"

The surrounding operators nodded vigorously and formed an assault formation, charging outwards.

The four-armed monster's black carapace skin was as tough as animal hide, requiring some effort to break through.

Kirika forcefully pushed back the four-armed monster in front of her, and the group retreated towards the passage while fighting. After entering the area leading to the outside, Kirika's expression immediately turned ugly.

"Director...we're surrounded."

"Break through!"

In the residential area not far from Wuxiang, Aya's knight's sword kept slashing at the octopus monster, tearing its rubbery skin. Crimson blood flowed from the wounds, while her teammates behind her provided cover fire with orbal guns.

As the team members wore it down, the octopus monster slowed down. Aya seized the opportunity, stepped forward, and plunged her knight's sword into the octopus monster's head.

The octopus monster's body jolted violently, then went limp and lay lifeless...

Huff... Huff... Aya gasped for breath, dodging the octopus monster's attacks had drained her of too much energy in a short time. The gunshots coming from not far away made Aya realize that it wasn't just them; other teams had also been attacked.

"Let's go, let's meet up with the director!"

Having said that, ignoring her exhaustion, she grabbed her knight's sword and ran towards the area where Kirika and the others were. Just as she crossed the corridor, she felt a stench of blood rush towards her. Aya instinctively ducked to avoid it, only to see a limb, hardened like a hammer, smash against the wall...

With the help of the dim light from the surrounding candles, Aya finally saw the monster's appearance. It looked like a hunched turtle that walked upright. On the monster's back were body parts like a turtle shell, and on its elongated neck was a twisted head with yellow fluorescent light flashing in its eyes.

The monster's weapon was a pair of bony hammer-like limbs, and such blunt force blows would be fatal to a human body!

In the deep corridor behind Aya, more yellow fluorescent lights lit up... and then four-armed monsters pounced on the operators. Some of the monsters even climbed onto the ceiling of the living area and launched a three-dimensional attack!

"Charge out!"

Aya gritted her teeth and led her operators towards the monster before them...

An hour later, in the cult's warehouse, Kirika was bandaging the wound on her thigh. Several injured operators lay on the ground around her, occasionally letting out a groan.

A familiar hissing sound came from the passageway at the warehouse entrance. An operator said in terror, "Boss, they're here again!"

They had gone to great lengths to gather all the team members together, and even so, they lost three members.

After the operators assembled, their combat power increased many times over. They were on the verge of escaping the Order's stronghold, but unexpectedly, those four-armed monsters set a trap and surrounded them!

After paying the price of two more people, they finally escaped into the room that was originally the cult's warehouse. So there was water and food left behind by the cult in the room. After confirming that there was no problem with the water and food, Kirika breathed a sigh of relief. The operatives used the available materials to build a simple defensive fortification at the entrance.

Clearly, the four-armed monsters weren't going to let them go. They surrounded them and launched relentless attacks, forcing the operators to split into three groups to take turns fending off the monsters' onslaught...

"Stop them! If you don't want to become food!" Kirika's hair was sticky with sweat and stuck to her forehead, her clothes were disheveled, and her black stockings were full of holes.

Chapter 141 SOS Call

"Director, we can't contact anyone outside right now..."

An operator was grimacing as he treated a wound on his arm. The monster's scythe-like claws had slashed across his arm like sharp blades, tearing the skin on both sides of the wound open to reveal the flesh underneath.

They were trapped in the cult's stronghold. Although contingency plans had been in place, the official response from the Republic of Kalva was rather slow. By the time they arrived, it would probably be too late.

"No, we can contact the outside world..."

Wuxiang pulled out a civilian mobile phone made in Shangqiu from her pocket... The surrounding agents were stunned. Although they knew that their director was very fashionable and had bought a lot of electronic products from Shangqiu, they did not expect her to be this fashionable, not forgetting to bring her mobile phone when she went out.

Staring at the signal bars in the upper right corner of the Honor phone, there was one bar of signal... Wu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this place was relatively close to the Kingdom of Bel, and the signal from Shangqiu could cover this area.

This has led to some citizens of the Republic of Calva in Altay also using Shangqiu's mobile phones, because it's really convenient!

The Republic of Kalva is now targeting the electronic communication market, and the mobile phones used by people in Shangqiu have pointed them in the right direction for their research...

After Kirika unlocked the phone with her fingerprint, a familiar screen appeared. She then pressed the dial pad...

"Let me think... what's the emergency number for people in Shangqiu... 119 or 120?"

After a moment of contemplation, Kirika dialed 119 on her phone and turned on speakerphone.

Beep...beep...

The dial tone of the phone call made all the operators in the warehouse tense up. At this point, the Republic of Calva was out of the question, or rather, when they arrived, they could check the monster's excrement to see if they were in it.

Amidst everyone's expectant gaze, the call connected, and a pleasant female voice rang out:

"Hello, this is the Shangqiu 119 Fire Department. How can I help you?"

"We're trapped and need rescue!" Wuxiang said in a deep voice.

"Okay, please don't be nervous. Tell us your name and address, and we'll dispatch the nearest fire department..."

"My name is Kirika, and I'm the head of the intelligence organization of the Republic of Kalva. We're trapped underground, surrounded by monsters. Our exact location is outside the city of Altair, in the cult's stronghold..."

“(O_o)?”

Wuxiang's words left the AI ​​operator on 119 somewhat confused, before she said in a pleasant voice, "Please wait a moment, you are being transferred to a live agent..."

Immediately, a pleasant melody came through the microphone...

"Transferring to human assistance, please wait... This is number 0032 at your service~ To ensure accuracy, this call will be recorded."

"Ok?"

Human assistance? Kirika wondered, was the person she was talking to not a human?

"Hello, how can I help you?"

“We need reinforcements! To make a long story short, I am the intelligence chief of the Republic of Kalva. We are trapped in the cult's stronghold during the operation, surrounded by monsters, and we need rescue!”

"Uh..." The operator who answered the phone paused for a moment, glanced at the location of the other party's signal, and confirmed that it was indeed in the Republic of Kalva: "...I'm sorry, miss, the area you are in is outside the service range."

The Republic of Kalva is outside the range of 119 emergency response.

Suddenly, all the operators in the warehouse felt a sense of oppression. Just then, the four-armed monster launched another attack, accompanied by its distinctive hissing sound.

"They're here again, push them up!"

"Quick! Stop them!"

The sounds of intense fighting came through the microphone to the operator's ears, immediately making her realize that the other party might be telling the truth. The operator thought for a moment and said, "Please hold on, I'll consult my superiors..."

After she finished speaking, the operator connected her to her supervisor and began reporting the situation...

"Commander-in-Chief, after receiving the report from 119, we took it very seriously... After repeated confirmation, we have confirmed that the owner of the phone number that dialed 119 is indeed a woman named Wuxiang from the Republic of Kalva, and her location is indeed in the suburbs of Altair City..."

Under the filtering of Shangqiu's big data system, some of Wuxiang's information was filtered out... With a beep, a holographic projection of Wuxiang was projected onto the electronic sand table.

"This is..." Mayor Doyle confirmed the other party's identity the moment he saw the holographic projection of Kirika: "...She is indeed an intelligence agent of the Republic of Kalva."

The commander-in-chief pondered for a moment. So that means the other side was indeed trapped, and even attacked by monsters?

"Deploy the nearest Wing Loong II to conduct communications relay, being careful not to enter the airspace of the Republic of Kalva..."

"understand!"

Soon, a Wing Loong II aircraft, having received the order, shook its wings and flew towards the border.

This is a rather tricky situation. According to the agreement for this operation, Shangqiu and the Republic of Kalva only had intelligence sharing rights, without any other authorizations. However, it turns out that the Republic of Kalva can't even handle intelligence sharing properly...
