Otherworld Girl Development Guide

Zhou Mingrui immediately turned off the projector to avoid further agitating her. Without Lingdang saying anything more, her behavior alone was enough to tell that she was definitely a member of a terrorist organization... oh no, now she should be called an anti-human organization.

In the ensuing brief questioning, Zhou Mingrui quickly discovered that Lingdang didn't have a strong impression of the location of the anti-human organization's research institute, only knowing that it was in a remote mountain area.

According to her own account: she was abducted to a research institute when she was very young and was kept in a laboratory until recently when she escaped. Then she was hunted by demons and fled to Shangqiu... Zhou Mingrui knew everything that happened after that.

This inhumane organization underestimated the rabbit's strength and ran headlong into a brick wall...

This kind of anti-human organization must be wiped out cleanly and swiftly, like autumn leaves being swept away by the wind, but first we need to find the organization's stronghold.

To locate this inhumane organization, they need to cooperate with the kingdom, since they are newcomers and don't know much about some of the hidden organizations on the continent.

The terrorist who was captured is still in a daze, looking at his amputated legs and empty hip area, and is unable to obtain any useful information in the short term.

But it doesn't matter, this anti-human organization has been noted down in Shangqiu's little notebook... All of their actions have crossed the line for the Chinese. Once their headquarters or branches are discovered, they will be shown what true truth is.

It doesn't matter if the truth can't be delivered; all-nitrogen anionic salts are even more environmentally friendly!

Gently closing the record, Zhou Mingrui looked at Lingdang with concern: "Alright, Lingdang, we understand the details..."

"you......"

"what?"

The sound of the bell was too soft for Zhou Mingrui to hear what she was saying.

"You won't send Lingdang away, will you..." Lingdang looked up at Zhou Mingrui, tears welling in her amber eyes. "...Lingdang is smart. Lingdang doesn't want to leave here, so...so..."

"Lingdang, we'll tell you about this tomorrow."

"it is good."

Lingdang nodded obediently, but her amber eyes were filled with despair and confusion about the future, which made Zhou Mingrui's heart tighten.

Watching Lingdang leave behind the kindergarten teacher, Zhou Mingrui asked softly, "Brother Qiang... what will the higher-ups do with Lingdang?"

“It’s still unclear. There’s a high chance it will be handed over to the Kingdom’s official website, after all, Bell is a citizen of the Kingdom…” Shi Qiang seemed to have a premonition of something, and then said, “...Of course, it’s not absolute, after all, we know how to be flexible.”

Sorry, dear readers, I was almost exhausted from running errands while out and about. I'm taking a day off and will update tomorrow. That's all.

Chapter 66 Prohibition of Child Labor

Lingdang returned to her room with a heavy heart. Lying on the soft bed, looking at the familiar ceiling, and recalling those memories she didn't want to remember, Lingdang gradually curled up into a ball.

Would they hand me over to the kingdom? After all, those demons have launched an attack on Shangqiu. For their own benefit and safety...wouldn't I be abandoned?

That's true. Anyway, it's not the first time. The bell has been discarded many times... If I am handed over to the kingdom, those demons will probably follow the bell and drag it into hell.

"Lingdang...don't be afraid, Lingdang must...be strong!"

As she thought about it, tears streamed down Lingdang's cheeks and dripped onto the sheets... She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, a hint of stubbornness on her sweet little face.

…………

"The bell issue can be handled flexibly."

"There's always room for flexibility..." Hearing Shi Qiang say this, Zhou Mingrui immediately woke up. The Chinese language is profound and complex; flexibility is something everyone who understands it should do.

"Well... I'll take Lingdang to get a medical check-up tomorrow..."

Zhou Ming said in a low voice, "After all, Lingdang has been subjected to human experiments for so long, so it is indeed necessary to have her body checked properly and to fully understand her physical condition."

"...I'll go back and submit a report right away."

After saying that, Zhou Mingrui turned and walked towards the room.

Meanwhile, in the capital city of Bel, Gran.

"grandmother..."

Corliss looked at Queen Estée, who was standing on the balcony seemingly lost in thought, and called out softly.

"You've come, Corliss..."

Estée turned to look at Corliss with a kind smile on her face.

"Grandma... Shangqiu has been attacked?"

"Yes."

Estée looked at Corliss with some surprise, not expecting her granddaughter, who was usually oblivious to worldly affairs, to be so concerned about current events.

"The cult attacked Shangqiu for unknown reasons... but it is clear that they suffered a great loss. According to information sent from Shangqiu, they destroyed at least 30 of the cult's orbal mechs."

"Thirty orbment-powered mechs?!"

Corliss was stunned for a moment. Although she had been loafing around at school for a long time, she knew very well what 30 orbal mechs represented. That was the force that could conquer a small city in the kingdom!

However... what was this cult? She had never heard of this organization before.

"Grandma, what is the Order?"

"The Order..." Queen Estelle's face showed a hint of apprehension when she spoke of the Order: "...a bunch of madmen who have come together for the sake of 'truth'!"

"I didn't expect them to have amassed such a force within the kingdom so quietly. There must be a cult base within the kingdom..."

Queen Estelle sighed. The Order really knew how to time things. They launched a surprise attack while she was reforming the intelligence department, and the paralysis of the intelligence department prevented her from receiving any warning.

"...Once the intelligence department is reorganized, I will have it locate the cult's branches within the country and eradicate them completely!"

In any case, these malignant tumors in the country must be found and eliminated as soon as possible... Queen Estée even suspects that some officials within the kingdom may also be colluding with the cult!

Otherwise, it would be impossible for a magic-powered mech to be transported into the kingdom without anyone noticing!

"Did Shangqiu suffer any losses?" Corliss asked with some concern. She had met the people of Shangqiu before, and they were very friendly and kind, which gave her a good impression.

"No, all of the Order's orbal mechs were wiped out. The Shangqiu people are very strong. I don't know if the decision to rent that area to them was right or wrong..."

In her reception room, the Chinese ambassador proposed that, in order to enhance exchanges between the two sides, China should fund the construction of railways and highways, which would connect the kingdom's most important industrial city and center of power technology, as well as the political center, Grand!

Queen Estelle was no stranger to railways; the Rebonian Empire's railway network was extremely developed... Whether it was the kingdom's regular airship network or the railways, both increased the central government's control over local areas, and the empire relied on railways to carry out strategic deployments.

This worried Princess Estée. The strength displayed by the Abyss Sea made Queen Estée realize that she had underestimated them, which could lead to an imbalance of power between Shangqiu and the Kingdom... The purpose of using Shangqiu to contain the Republic of Calva might not go in the direction she wanted.

This is quite normal, since things can't always go according to the kingdom's will. What Queen Estée has to do is find a way to "compromise" and keep the kingdom in control.

.............

Early the next morning.

Zhou Mingrui walked toward Lingdang's room in a good mood. His report had been approved, and all he had to do was take Lingdang to the hospital in Shangqiu. The doctor would give Lingdang a comprehensive physical examination and assess her health.

However, it's likely that Lingdang's health isn't good... Out of humanitarian considerations, Lingdang will continue to stay in Shangqiu for recuperation. We'll discuss the specific duration of her recuperation later.

Just as he reached Lingdang's door and was about to knock, the door opened, and Lingdang looked up at him with her large, amber eyes staring blankly into his eyes.

Good morning, little bell.

"Good morning."

Seeing that Lingdang looked a little disappointed, Zhou Mingrui smiled and said, "Regarding your accommodation, you can continue to stay here."

Upon hearing this, Lingdang's amber eyes flickered, and emotions of hope and joy appeared in them. Her previously lifeless eyes became lively, and her intuition told her that the uncle in front of her was not lying.

"But first, we need to check your body..." Seeing that Lingdang's expression was a little off, Zhou Mingrui quickly explained, "...Don't worry, it's not the kind of check you're thinking of, it's just to check your physical condition."

"it is good."

Lingdang nodded vigorously and followed behind Zhou Mingrui toward the net.

Zhou Mingrui opened the rear door of the Dongfeng Warrior, signaled Lingdang to sit in the back seat, and then Shi Qiang drove the car towards the top-tier hospital in Shangqiu. As the only hospital in Shangqiu, this hospital is currently under the jurisdiction of the Navy.

Led by Zhou Mingrui, Lingdang followed behind him with slight trepidation. After seeing him hand a card to a man in white, she asked with a hint of curiosity, "Is that money?"

"You could say that," Zhou Mingrui replied softly.

Lingdang looked at him seriously and said, "Lingdang will earn the money to pay you back as soon as possible."

Zhou Mingrui was immediately at a loss for words: "Lingdang, we prohibit the employment of child labor here."

Chapter 67 The Big Bowl of Prison Food

"Bell, we prohibit the employment of child labor here. Employing child labor is illegal!"

Zhou Mingrui had no desire to experience the "big bowl of prison food," especially with a fellow inmate saying, "I'm big, so you'd better bear with it"...

“Hmm…” Lingdang frowned. This feeling of being taken care of made her very insecure: “…Then consider it a loan from you. I’ll pay you back when I grow up.”

The little adult-like Lingdang made Zhou Mingrui smile, but this independent thinking was inseparable from her experiences, which showed that Lingdang was extremely insecure.

"Alright, let's get a checkup first... Just follow this doctor."

Lingdang tilted her head and looked at the kind-faced old woman with gray hair. The female doctor smiled kindly at Lingdang.

"Here, child, take this."

The female doctor walked up to Lingdang, who was "unaccompanied," put the bracelet on Lingdang's wrist, scanned the QR code on the bracelet with a machine, and led Lingdang inside.

After watching Lingdang enter the hospital, Zhou Mingrui walked towards the family rest room... Lingdang is a girl, and some examinations require her to remove some clothing, so Zhou Mingrui couldn't follow her in.

As a future digital hospital, it allows users to view their medical examination reports and doctors' diagnostic reports in real time.

The main structure of Shangqiu Hospital is still under construction, and only some basic functions are in operation. It will probably be several years before it is fully completed. The current focus of construction is on infrastructure, because a solid foundation is essential for building a tall building.

Half an hour later, the test reports began to appear on the machine.

Malnutrition...

Bell's brainwaves were extremely active, more than three times that of a normal person...

Needle marks were detected in multiple locations on the skin...

Surgical scars found on the cervical spine...

Multiple scars, indicating cuts, burns, and blunt force trauma that had healed, were found on the torso...
