Lingzhou:
“That is unfortunate.”
“In that case…”
“We will discuss the matter among ourselves tonight and decide tomorrow whether to leave.”
Bronya:
“Mm.”
“For now, you may go.”
Lingzhou:
“Before leaving, I have one request.”
“Would Commander Bronya be willing to grant me a small convenience?”
Bronya looked confused.
“Please speak.”
“When we first arrived, we encountered Sampo Koski and were deceived by him.”
“That man is currently in prison.”
“I would like to see him.”
Lingzhou made the request politely and sincerely.
“Very well.”
“I’ll order someone to bring you to the detention center.”
“However…”
“The two ladies will need to remain here temporarily.”
Bronya had already read the arrest report and knew about Sampo’s incident.
She didn’t think much of Lingzhou’s request.
Probably wanted to scold him.
Vent some anger.
Lingzhou smiled and nodded.
“Thank you for the trouble, Commander Bronya.”
“It’s nothing.”
Bronya waved a hand with a somewhat gloomy expression.
Old Bear stared at the black screen with white text and fell into thought.
“Strange.”
“Why does Lingzhou want to see Sampo right now?”
“Does Sampo know some huge secret?”
“He’s a playable four-star.”
“Surely he can’t just be pure background decoration…”
“Though Pela and Serval are basically background decoration so far too.”
“We only met them once while wandering around.”
“Fine.”
“Unknown foreshadowing.”
“We’ll put a pin in it.”
He clicked.
The screen returned.
Lingzhou smiled.
“Thank you again, Commander Bronya.”
“Stelle, did you finish signing your written guarantee?”
Stelle spread her hands.
“Not yet.”
Bronya:
“No need.”
Lingzhou:
“I recommend signing it anyway.”
“Many people saw you bring us into custody.”
“With a guarantee letter, at least there’s documentation to explain the outcome upward or publicly.”
Bronya immediately understood.
She nodded.
“You’re right.”
“Mr. Lingzhou is indeed thoughtful.”
She wasn’t stupid.
She instantly understood the hidden implication.
The fact that Bronya had brought offworlders into custody definitely couldn’t be hidden from her mother, Cocolia.
There needed to be a proper result on record.
Otherwise—
Cocolia might become even more suspicious.
Old Bear temporarily took his hands off the keyboard.
He glanced toward chat.
Then froze.
“What?”
“This is hidden story content?”
“Brother, can you voice call and explain?”
One viewer’s comment immediately caught everyone’s attention.
After a short call—
Old Bear and his audience learned that the viewer was telling the truth.
If you didn’t search every trash can on the map—
This sequence never triggered.
Instead, you entered the Goethe Hotel directly.
Had a brief conversation with Lingzhou and March.
Then slept until the next day.
“Damn.”
“That is a very special way to trigger hidden story content…”
March:
“Lingzhou.”
“We aren’t really leaving, are we?”
Lingzhou:
“Let’s reach the lodging Cocolia arranged for us first.”
March’s eyes widened.
“She sent people to monitor us and we’re still going?!”
“Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, we head toward the tiger mountain anyway.”
“Precisely because Cocolia is monitoring us, we need to go.”
“We’re on their territory. Wherever we go, we’ll be watched.”
“So the Trailblazer isn’t actually stupid.”
“She sees the situation pretty clearly.”
“Nice.”
“Makes self-insertion stronger.”
They entered the Goethe Hotel.
All three Express members appeared together in one room.
“March is sitting on the bed…”
“Probably her room?”
Old Bear muttered casually and focused on the story.
A cutscene began.
March was just about to speak when Lingzhou covered her mouth.
He raised one finger in a shushing gesture.
Only after March nodded did he release her.
Under the gazes of the gray-haired and pink-haired girls—
Lingzhou opened his palm.
Invisible currents of wind spread quietly in every direction.
Their hair fluttered slightly.
The wind slipped through every gap in the room’s furnishings and inspected for abnormalities.
Several seconds passed.
An unreadable smile crossed Lingzhou’s face.
He took out a strange box and opened it.
A suction force erupted from his palm.
A pen lying on a nearby desk flew toward him.
Lingzhou placed the pen inside the box.
Then tossed the box aside.
“Eavesdropping is immoral.”
“That Supreme Guardian is even less honest than Sampo.”
March:
“That pen is…”
“A recorder?”
Lingzhou:
“Strictly speaking, it’s a listening device.”
“It’s a miniature microphone.”
“If left alone, everything said in this room would be heard by whoever is on the other side.”
March’s face collapsed.
“Do our rooms have them too?”
Stelle sneered.
“Hmph.”
“Eight or nine chances out of ten.”
“Even monitoring our cute and innocent March?”
“No class.”
March:
“Exactly!”
Lingzhou:
“…When she says ‘innocent,’ I think she means ‘little idiot.'”
“You jerk!”
“You want another beautiful-girl elbow, don’t you?!”
March put her hands on her hips and raised her brows.
Stelle coughed.
“Business first.”
“Let’s share what information we found.”
“I’ll go first.”
She paused for dramatic effect and spoke with complete seriousness.
“My information is—”
“I found absolutely no information.”
March gave her an exhausted stare.
“I knew nothing good would come out of that mouth!”
Stelle:
“What about you?”
“I-I…”
“Well…”
“I don’t think I found any useful clues either…”
March’s face was filled with guilt.
[What a perfect pair of Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix. LMAO.]
[Lingzhou feels like an old father with two troublesome kids.]
[Makes sense. Foster father is still father. Speaking of which, did you guys know Father just gave me 1600 Stellar Jade?]
[Front commenter, die immediately!]
[Everyone was chatting peacefully and suddenly some dog started barking.]
[Nothing surprising. No one knows a son better than his father.]
Lingzhou sighed.
“I’ll mention only what matters.”
“First.”
“Did either of you notice that Serval looks rather similar to Gepard?”
Stelle thought.
“I didn’t focus on it earlier.”
“But now that you mention it…”
“Yeah.”
“They do.”
March:
“Siblings?”
“Older sister and younger brother?”
Lingzhou:
“That part isn’t important.”
“What matters is that she directly calls Cocolia by name.”
“Her tone contains very little respect.”
“Worth remembering.”
“Second.”
“From our conversation with Serval, we can at least confirm that this city’s heating energy does not come from the Stellaron.”
“The heating source is a mineral called Geomarrow.”
“It is produced in the Underworld.”
“Normally, if the Underworld produces an energy resource this important…”
“Its relationship with the Overworld should be extremely close.”
“But in reality?”
“Remember what Serval told us?”
