Chapter 904: NO.27: What is the hidden core?

NO. 27: What is the hidden core?

"Team 2, any discoveries?"

"You finally got in touch with this side!"

"Something came up; Sai Luo should have told you."

"It was said, but being with Chen Dai is too boring; why not switch to Shi Jia and Gui She? You and Sai Luo would work too!"

"This 'also works' really hurt me and Sai Luo, Miss He. If you keep saying that, I'll consider giving your milk tea to Sai Luo."

"Eh! Don't! I actually really look forward to teaming up with you and Sai Luo!"

"……Indeed, no matter what, it's hard to get used to you like this. Have you become slick? Anyway, let's start the report."

"So, about the milk tea you promised to bring?"

"I'll keep it for you; come get it after the report, if you haven't found anything there either."

"Indeed, we found nothing—no big footprints‑like traces, no special patterns or writing. Hold on, I'll ask Chen…"

After a brief silence in the call, Chen's response came, then He loudly repeated: "He also said he didn't find anything!"

Aomo wasn't disappointed either; he just glanced at Sai Luo beside him and then said: "Let's meet at the southern overpass; Shi Jia and Gui She will come one after another."

"Um… could I go a bit slower?" Suddenly, the call on the other side became a bit hesitant.

"If you want to check where the mountain calendar is located, I can help you lock onto the address; that would be more efficient." He said calmly.

Aomo, who controls Galatron and also masters the Jirbarlis card, can easily achieve information intervention control in this mediocre web version territory.

Want to box someone? Just box them.

"Eh? No, making a fuss while watching anime is enough! I just… want to buy snacks from a shop, might need to queue."

"... Please have the awareness of an internet celebrity, Miss He." Aomo's voice sounded somewhat weary.

Mentioned before, thanks to the benign infectivity of Ma Zhongpeng, this version of the "Monster Eugenics Idea" followed a gentle reform path before the Beast King appeared.

Having frequently appeared in media, each is considered a public figure with considerable topic heat.

And at the same time.

As the team's sole female, and moreover a beautiful‑faced, voluptuous yet curvaceous charming woman, Miss He's popularity is even the highest in the team.

Her figure appeared not only in newspaper sections but also once in magazine pages.

Even Mr. Shi Jia, who most often substitutes for teammates on camera and is seen by the public as the captain of the Monster Eugenics faction, is similarly far inferior.

This is thanks to her not having again accepted advertisements or photo‑shoot invitations; although she is still energetic, her whole person differs from the loafing fish Aomo imagined, yet she still has no interest in those fields.

The craving is real: when Sai Luo initially notified all teams, informing Aomo of the situation here, that they had to wait at a drink shop, Team One was just Gui She shouting about whether Aomo wanted to slack off, while Team Two was He immediately sending a message—she had seen the shop name Sai Luo mentioned in a shop‑review magazine and asked if she could conveniently bring a cup of milk tea.

Aomo, after hearing Sai Luo's relay, fell silent for a moment and could only send a "6".

Then he indeed brought a cup of the flavor they reported.

After getting along with the willful roommate and the willful temporary roommate for a while, one feels this request, though untimely, is not a big deal.

It's better than letting her buy it herself and then synchronously stress‑relieve with A Peng.

— In Aomo's guess, Ma Zhongpeng at this point has not yet fully dealt with classmates, school, family, and the surrounding media people who came upon hearing the news.

As a trainer, Aomo is all too familiar with such encirclements.

Not only is he familiar, he has accumulated experience in helping handle them.

Even so, he is not in a position to intervene.

If A Peng wants to stabilize his life's 'society', Aomo this 'stranger face' should not take over his role.

Likewise, Shi Jia's familiar face, which is tacitly accepted as missing, should not either.

Only Ma Zhongpeng in the team has social life needs; the others are 'barefoot athletes' who don't care about living in another world, so from the start there was an unspoken agreement to treat everyone as missing.

Among peers who can likewise hear the monsters' voices, the monster controllers, Chen and his teammates have a 'surface brothers' relationship, but Ma Zhongpeng is undoubtedly the team's pet.

Even Gui She, who has regained his memory and obsession and renewed interest in 'human extinction', shows no change in his attitude toward him.

That said, Gui She still looks fairly normal now.

After all, he knows that once he intends to carry out his goal, Aomo will immediately come over with his cane.

After resolving Chen's obsession, Gui She's obsession becomes the most troublesome thing; Aomo currently has no way to counsel him, and it's hard to do so—Gui She's fixation has no reason to speak of, only life and time can wear it down.

Frankly speaking, the only one Aomo values in the whole organization is Chen; Ma Zhongpeng and He, secondary in impression, can be left alone without issue.

And Shi Jia, in his view, could have served as a lost‑horse radar, but instead disappointed him somewhat.

Disappointment aside, there's no ill will; getting along is pleasant, so there's no reason not to lend a hand.

As for Gui She, he simply isn't welcomed by him.

Bringing him along as well is merely to make the monster users' numbers neat and fulfill righteousness to the fullest.

If this guy truly refuses to repent, he doesn't mind sending another person to prison.

Nobody will object.

After all, this isn't the first time.

Several individuals, each with somewhat quirky personalities, awakened from a five‑thousand‑year slumber, their only remaining link being the monsters.

Fortunately, the team still has Ma Zhongpeng, who is overly normal, caring and helping teammates.

Of course, in this team, that makes him somewhat abnormal.

And such a member has additionally increased by one in the present.

"Even if you change clothes and put on a hat, it's useless, Miss He," Aomo sigsed, feeling that another troublesome grandma had appeared, "You might as well just tell me which shop, and I'll buy it for you."

"Ah, no problem? That bakery… the line is long."

"It doesn't matter; relying on monster abilities makes it easy to obtain."

"……" He was momentarily at a loss for words.

One can't tell who grew up under a law‑abiding society and who is a monster controller.

However, I'm not sure if the Jidong banknotes in my hand can be used here—please give me the money first; I'll leave it with the shop when I come back to pick it up.

Oh… he's not completely acting recklessly.

What's up, Miss He? Are you still insisting on buying it yourself? If you really want to see someone, Sai Luo and I will keep it secret for you.

Yeah, keeping it simple is no problem for me!" said the Kingdom of Light Big Mouth.

I said no! You guys also love pairing people up too much!" Miss He was furious, unable to stand this bunch of CP shippers.

I sent you the address! Buy me that tiger-skin cake and red bean bun!!

Okay, I'm willing to apologize for the misunderstanding. Anyway, you and Chen, come quickly to Horikiri Bridge in Adachi Ward; if nothing unexpected happens, you'll be able to find your former captain's position here.

I'll come right away!

That tone sounds like he's coming over to punch you." Sai Luo shook his head, watching Aomo focus on deducing several possible battle sites from the terrain provided by the drone.

He felt a slight worry about his not-so-distant future.

As it turned out, Aomo was unexpectedly carefree.

If he's really angry, then it's my problem—giving him a punch doesn't matter." He said, glancing at the sparse passersby near the suburbs; he still hadn't spotted the Observer's figure.

That executor, when he left, was as straightforward as the Beast King; the information and assistance he provided were more than the Beast King's, but still lacked the most crucial points—how to find the mastermind? How to reach the universe where Gurite's true form resides?

Since those two biggest problems weren't solved, this information and assistance might as well be nonexistent.

As for the Observer mentioned by those two, he still hasn't seen any sign of them so far.

They said if you pay a little more attention you'll see them—could it be that this guy didn't show up at all?

If that's the case, then we can only proceed with the investigation according to the original plan.

The Lost Horse clue, the Naito clue—although we have enough personnel, the investigation remains troublesome and continues.
