Honkai: Man(Sludge) From Future

"Sayu Ogiwara. This is a good opportunity to round them all up! We can catch all these shrine maiden girls in one fell swoop and make an outstanding contribution to Tokyo's social security and good social customs."

"What about this one?"

"It seems to be something like Mahiru Shiina. There was a slight error when we caught her, but it doesn't matter. When I found her, she was preparing to become a shrine maiden girl. She didn't look very smart. Whether it's true or not, we'll just treat it as true."

"Good, good, good! We just need young people with your drive."

The leader flipped through the documents in his hand and pointed to a boy, asking, "What about this one?"

"He secretly violated our regulations by testing Nagazora City. I suspect that he was bought by people from other countries. I've also brought him here."

"Hikigaya? A rare surname. Looking at these recorded contents, he's indeed a smart kid. Unfortunately, he's going to be thrown into a place like Nagazora City."

"Please rest assured. This kid doesn't have any background. We can just deceive his parents a little and give them some money to fool them. The budget that the higher-ups gave me to recruit people is definitely enough. This time, I've completed more than 30% of the quota with enough funds."

This kid was quite proud, but the leader was also very satisfied. He slammed the table and encouraged him loudly, "Well said! We just need people like you! Okay, I'll give you more responsibility. Next, you'll be personally responsible for a team. You'll specialize in finding those out-of-the-way places, especially those internet cafes and the like. If you see a place where someone is living alone, is young, and doesn't have any friends, or those single women who run small businesses without any background."

"Pick these people, and then approach them as medical personnel. As soon as they appear, go forward and check their physical condition. It doesn't matter if the check is wrong. We just need to gather them all together. It's enough if all the people are arranged."

"First, let's meet the quota for the number of people. As for what happens after that, we'll talk about it later. It's inevitable that there will be mistakes. When the time comes, we temporary staff will be disbanded. Those who should get money will get money, those who should be promoted will be promoted, and we won't even leave behind any paper records."

"By then, even if they want to investigate responsibility, they won't be able to find anyone..."

The leader was indeed a leader. He enlightened the little follower on the spot, giving him a deeper understanding of the underlying logic of the world.

He quickly entered a new ideological realm and immediately went to do the next step of his work with a smile on his face.

The leader naturally knew some of the behind-the-scenes information. He certainly didn't know about the higher-level work of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy in dealing with the Honkai, but he knew that all of these people were backed by big shots from Europe and America.

Those who could command the work of the Far Eastern government were definitely all powerful figures.

Even if he made a mistake, what could they do?

At most, the locals in the Far East would organize parades and protests, targeting the local government that had done nothing. Would these people dare to rebel in the territory of the Europeans and Americans?

Those who dared had already died. People now were very snobbish. No one would charge forward for a rebellious son or daughter who wasn't close to them. Even if there were a few exceptions, and their relationship with their families was good, and their families were very harmonious, the parents would also make a fuss. But it didn't matter!

The funds that had been distributed for this activity were enough to appease these people's fuss.

As long as they used both soft and hard tactics, it would be enough to allow the leader to take another step on the road to promotion.

If others heard these conversations, they would only exclaim, "The same is true everywhere, both past and present!"

Putting aside how bad these people were, they were essentially just working for a salary. They were no different from the people who sold insurance or worked at banks.

However, Cocolia had indeed connected with Otto. Otherwise, Theresa's name wouldn't have appeared in the news in the Far East.

At least on the surface, Theresa was still a royal vassal in the Far East for Schicksal. The people of Anti-Entropy couldn't avoid her when building any industry in this area.

Especially when Otto was particularly fond of this granddaughter, it was impossible for Cocolia to bypass Theresa and do things openly in the Far East.

What she had to do now was to persuade Theresa, this vassal of the Far East.

"Is this the production of the free skin color potion?"

Theresa looked at the strange flesh floating in the sterile box. This thing had its own flesh and blood tissue, and even its own pulse. Except for not having a brain to move, it looked completely like a living creature.

This elderly young girl had never expected that the production of the free skin color potion would actually be something like this.

If those North Americans knew that the things they were drinking and injecting were produced by this kind of thing, she didn't know if they would be scared to death on the spot.

"That's right. This is something that fell off of Noldrei's body. You never know what kind of treasure will fall off of him. And he now really wants to occupy a piece of land that belongs to him, and he also needs enough people on that land to provide him with 'use'."

"I can even say it more bluntly. If it wasn't for some of us persuading him, he would probably do something even more outrageous. For example, create a virus that would make everyone in the world infertile..."

Cocolia also knew Noldrei's main thoughts and actions.

He didn't care about the length of time it took for humans to progress, and he didn't care about humans' attitudes towards him. He could tolerate these things. But when someone tried to stop him, and no one could give him a reason, Noldrei would not hesitate to choose his own way of doing things.

When he was dealing with Tesla, he didn't consider Tesla's feelings at all and determined that Tesla had no way to change herself.

Noldrei was acting with the goal of obtaining Anti-Entropy's strongest researcher.

Strength meant that you could do whatever you wanted. Cocolia knew her own level, so she didn't hesitate to slide and kneel.

In the end, didn't Tesla have to come back to Noldrei obediently in order to control her own body?

Cocolia didn't want this kind of thing to happen to her. Experiencing turning into a pony once was enough. For the rest, she just wanted to get the "benefits" she wanted from Noldrei.

"Are you serious? That guy really thought about that?"

Theresa was shocked by Cocolia's words.

"Now he's changed his goal. He plans to build an academy city and make some contributions to biotechnology for the humans in this area."

Theresa wasn't an idiot. When she heard Cocolia's words, she immediately knew that these "contributions" were probably problematic.

"So I want to invite more people to come to the academy city, and have more resources poured in so that we can supervise and control it. He has already agreed that your people are willing to complete the treatment and recovery work for the Schicksal Valkyries. This is a good thing for Schicksal and for you."

Cocolia had already privately discussed this with Otto. Otto had long planned to arrange people to be by Noldrei's side.

It just so happened that Fu Hua had walked right into it.

Given Fu Hua's overly honest personality, Otto still planned to have Rita help her. If that didn't work, he would transfer a Valkyrie squad from one of the three major families to be Rita's assistants.

And Theresa's management level was relatively low. Her usual solution was that if she couldn't figure something out, she would ask her grandfather, and maybe he would know.

Theresa didn't know how to cooperate with Noldrei. She hesitated for a long time and didn't know if she should make a trip to Nagazora City.

She could only pray secretly.

'Fu Hua, you have to do your best.'
