Otherworld Girl Development Guide

After all, this kind of identity, which is readily available, of average rank, and requires a certain degree of encryption, is the most suitable for concealing his true identity.

On the third day at noon, Corliss, carrying the AR glasses given to her by Zhou Mingrui, boarded the royal airship and returned to the royal capital, Gran, with several boxes of letters of intent for cooperative development from Shangqiu.

Now that the issue of the Order has been resolved, it's time to turn our attention to development. However, there's still a long way to go if we want to develop the entire Abyss Sea.

Just as Zhou Mingrui was about to go see if the Star Ring Research Institute had come up with any groundbreaking inventions recently, his communicator received a summons from the old man.

When Zhou Mingrui entered the old man's office, he saw the old man's ambiguous smile and immediately had a bad feeling.

"Mingrui, sit down~" The old man gestured for Zhou Mingrui to sit down.

"Uh? Is there something wrong?" Zhou Mingrui sat down on the seat somewhat nervously.

"Here's the thing, we don't know what to do with the little girl we rescued from the cult's research institute yet, after all, she's someone we snatched from hell..."

The old man sighed. The little girl's physical condition wasn't much better than Bell's. Those damned bastards... As an old man, he really wanted to give the cult another shot of all-nitrogen anion salt.

"...Now that we've rescued them, we have to take responsibility for them. You've already adopted one, so you must have a lot of experience taking care of children these days. You wouldn't mind looking after another one for the time being, would you?"

The old man's meaning was clear: it's inconvenient for anyone other than you.

"So you're treating this place like a daycare center...?"

Zhou Mingrui's lips twitched... He wasn't even married yet, and he already had two kids. But then he thought about the little girl he had rescued and her heart softened. Since the cult had dragged her into hell, then Zhou Mingrui would lead her into heaven.

"...Okay, where is he? I'll go check on him."

"She is currently recuperating at a military hospital. The little girl's brainwaves are also very active, so she may be more mature than she appears. We should be careful not to overstimulate her."

"I understand, I have experience."

After saying that, Zhou Mingrui got up and walked out of the old man's office, then said to Shi Qiang, who was sitting by the door:

"Brother Qiang, let's go pick up the child from the military family hospital."

Chapter 78 The Arena of Asuras (Big Fog)

"Well..."

The blue-haired loli lying on the white hospital bed slowly regained consciousness; the anesthetic injected into her body by the cult was wearing off.

She quickly regained full consciousness, but the torment she had suffered for so long made her afraid to show her true state immediately. Suddenly, a strange voice echoed in her mind: "This little girl is still not awake. Will she be alright?"

Someone cares about her? The blue-haired girl was a little surprised; those people didn't care about her at all, they only cared about the data.

The blue-haired loli slowly opened her eyes and sat up. The first thing she looked at was her legs. After confirming that her legs were still there, she relaxed. Immediately, an image appeared in her mind: a man in a white military uniform was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at a strange instrument. He seemed to be in a very good mood.

Other voices also reached her mind, but compared to the despairing negative energy of the cult, these voices were full of positive energy, such as: "Payment is paid today!"

"You're awake..."

After sending a message to Lingdang saying "Study hard," Zhou Mingrui put his phone in his pocket. Only then did he realize that the blue-haired girl couldn't understand Chinese, so he prepared to take out his smart translation device.

The next second, the blue-haired loli nodded expressionlessly.

"Huh? You can understand me?"

The blue-haired girl nodded, then shook her head... leaving Zhou Mingrui completely bewildered.

In fact, she cannot understand Chinese, but she can sense other people's thoughts, or rather, under the cult's experiments, she gained extrasensory abilities that are completely different from Bell's high intelligence and mild perception.

Stepping forward, the blue-haired girl obediently allowed him to place the translation device in her ear, which relieved Zhou Mingrui. Fortunately, she was a good girl, just like Lingdang.

"Alright, now you should be able to understand me. First of all, I want to say that you are safe... Before I take you back to your home, I will be your temporary guardian. My name is Zhou Mingrui."

"Should I... say thank you?" The little girl spoke haltingly, as if she hadn't spoken in a long time.

Looking at the blue-haired loli who resembled a puppet, Zhou Mingrui frowned almost imperceptibly. What kind of torment had she suffered? It seemed that she had lost all normal emotions... Thinking of this, Zhou Mingrui wanted to throw a bombshell again.

"I don't know how to respond to you," the blue-haired loli replied, tilting her head slightly after sensing Zhou Mingrui's thoughts.

"Well...?"

Zhou Mingrui was stunned for a moment, then realized that he hadn't said anything. How did she know?

"It's what the voice in my head is telling me." As she spoke more and more, the blue-haired loli's speech gradually became more fluent.

The voice in her mind... she immediately remembered the old man saying her brainwaves were unusually active, but just how active were they? Was it brainwave sensing or mind reading?

The thought of mind reading made Zhou Mingrui feel a sense of unease. After all, no one likes having their thoughts and ideas completely perceived by others, which is probably like making their web browsing history public... Tired, let's destroy it!

"Yes, I'm sorry... I've made you hate me. I can't control it, the voice just keeps playing in my head."

Good heavens, this is still Liuwa's passive skill... Zhou Mingrui immediately and unconsciously put himself in the role of "father" and began to worry about her future.

Is mind reading a good thing? No... especially when it's made a passive skill.

Being distracted and thinking are completely different from doing!

Just like an employee being reprimanded by their superior, they might be thinking they want to curse their superior's family and kill them, but the employee won't actually do it; it's just a way of venting. If the superior had mind-reading abilities... it would undoubtedly escalate the conflict.

Moreover, everyone has a dark side, which can be resolved through self-regulation. However, mind reading can make people unconsciously explore the dark side of their minds, eventually becoming completely immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.

If it's due to abnormal brainwaves, there is a way to resolve it... Thinking of this, Zhou Mingrui picked up his phone and sent a message to the most powerful Dou Di expert in the Star Ring Research Institute, a neuroscientist, briefly explaining the situation.

Less than ten seconds later, the Dou Di expert replied with a disdainful "Get lost" emoji, meaning, "You're bothering me with this trivial matter? Go find my disciples and grand-disciples..."

After sending the message again, Zhou Mingrui looked up at the blue-haired loli and before he could speak, he heard her reply, "Tio, my name is Tio."

"Alright, Theo... your clothes are on the stool. Change them and come with me."

After saying that, Zhou Mingrui left the ward. He wasn't a pervert; he wasn't going to stay and watch Theo change his clothes.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Shi Qiang flipping through a thick stack of medical reports. He had given Tio a comprehensive examination when Tio was transferred to the hospital.

"Brother Qiang, how's it going?"

"It's bad; he'll need a long period of recuperation," Shi Qiang said, handing the report to Zhou Mingrui.

Zhou Mingrui took the report and flipped through it. After scanning it once, he returned the diagnosis report to Shi Qiang. He was afraid that if he continued reading, his high blood pressure would cause his blood vessels in his brain to burst.

"Are there any branches of the Order still existing within the Kingdom?"

"It's unclear at the moment; it depends on the Kingdom's intelligence department." Shi Qiang knew exactly what Zhou Mingrui was thinking. Missile tests always need a target, don't they?

A moment later, Theo, dressed in a white casual outfit, opened the door and came out, obediently following behind Zhou Mingrui.

Soon the three entered a more crowded area. Zhou Mingrui noticed that Theo's brows furrowed from time to time. Theo's brows relaxed only after they left the crowded area.

It's easy to imagine how many uncontrollable thoughts flooded her mind, hoping that Xinghuan could provide a solution soon.

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

Ding-a-ling~ The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class. After saying goodbye to the teacher, Lingdang packed up her eighth-grade textbooks, slung her schoolbag over her shoulder, and walked out of the classroom.

She has already learned the material up to the first year of junior high school and has started learning the material for the second year.

As the background music for going home played in the schoolyard, Lingdang walked towards the gate in a good mood, but at the same time she was a little confused as to why that busy guy was here to pick her up today, since it wasn't a "parents' meeting".

After walking out of the school gate, she saw Zhou Mingrui leaning against the Dongfeng Mengshi and waving at her.

Lingdang unconsciously walked quickly to Zhou Mingrui. After Zhou Mingrui opened the back door, Lingdang was about to get in when she met another pair of amber eyes.

Lingdang blinked her amber eyes... and turned to look at Zhou Mingrui.

stare...

Chapter 79 A Life of a Scoundrel

Staring... Bell's amber eyes were fixed on him, and Zhou Mingrui felt like his own pet cat had seen him bring home another kitten: How come you have other cats besides me?!

Zhou Mingrui said in a low voice, "She's just like you."

Upon hearing this, Lingdang's expression changed, and she silently got into the car. Shi Qiang drove towards the military dependents' area.

Bell turned to look at the blue-haired loli beside her, and the blue-haired loli also turned to look at Bell. As the two lolis' eyes met, a strange feeling appeared in their minds at the same time. The brainwaves enhanced by the Truth Drug produced an effect similar to spiritual communication.

"Just like Bell..."

Were you rescued from there too?

"The bell escaped on its own (???)."

In a telepathic exchange unseen by the two little girls, Theo's eyes flickered: "Is that so ( ﹁ ﹁ )... My name is Theo."

"My name is Lingdang. Just so you know, I was here first, so you have to call me 'older sister'..."

Theo?: "Theo refuses. I don't think the bell is bigger than Theo."

After failing to reach an agreement, the two little girls turned to look out the window at the same time.

Inside the car, Zhou Mingrui watched the street gradually taking shape outside the window, occasionally glancing at the two little girls through the rearview mirror. He noticed that the two girls were looking out the window with curiosity, and they seemed to be getting along quite harmoniously because they had similar experiences... congratulations.

Amidst the bell's confusion, the Dongfeng Warrior came to a steady stop in a secluded courtyard within the military dependents' area.

Zhou Mingrui got out of the car and opened the door, only to see two little girls, both with the same amber eyes staring at him.

"Alright, we've arrived."

Lingdang got out of the car and stared blankly at the detached two-story villa. This was not where she used to live.

"Alright, this is our new home now. Bell's personal belongings have been packed and delivered, and Tio's personal belongings are also ready."

"The original place?" Bell asked doubtfully, as she still quite liked the original place.

"That place was vacated for subsequent immigrants."

The rabbits need people to develop, but where will the people come from? Living people are definitely not enough, so they directly resort to immigration. Recently, a large number of immigrants have been transferred to Shangqiu through the portal.

Speaking of which? No wonder he's so famous! Now, when he opens a portal, he uses a super cool magnetic levitation device to attract the attention of ordinary people. Then Zhou Mingrui blends into the crowd (machine) to open the portal, making it look quite convincing.

These immigrants are part of the human resources needed for Shangqiu's future development. However, this "ticket" is completely one-way; you can come to Mingrui Star, but if you regret it and want to go back to Earth, there's no way.

As immigration increased, Zhou Mingrui naturally moved to a relatively secluded independent community. As for why it was a two-story villa... after consulting Zhou Mingrui, the villa he had painstakingly built on the Abyss Sea needed to be leveled because the site was limited. After all, the island only had so much space, and a villa that wasn't used would be a waste of space... This villa was built as compensation.

"New home?"

Bell couldn't help but feel a little expectant. Tio's expression was blank, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking, but he blinked much more frequently.

"Let's go."

There was also a small garden in front of the villa. The house was very simple and unpretentious. I led the two children to the door, and then seemed to remember something. I put a Huawei watch on Tio's wrist and explained its basic functions to him.

"The door lock is a sensor lock; you can just swipe it to get in."
