Start a Core Pod

Chapter 1170 Pursuit (Meow is rolling while riding a bicycle)

At the DA headquarters, there is a supercomputer, which is used to collect intelligence on the entire country, including but not limited to surveillance cameras, mobile phone communications, text messages and even chat content on the Internet.

If the public knew it, it would definitely be criticized as an invasion of privacy.

However, privacy is originally a kind of self-psychological comfort. What level of personal privacy is considered privacy depends on each person. As a judge, Duanmuhuai would naturally not object to this.

 After starting this survey, the search content naturally included witch and magical girl as keywords.

Frankly speaking, this naturally increases the workload of supercomputers. After all, words like witch or magical girl can be used in many places, including animation, comics, novels, games, etc., and you want to extract them from them. Finding valuable clues is like finding a needle in a haystack.

But now it seems that even if you are looking for a needle in a haystack, you can still find valuable clues.

  In other words, there is another reason.

The reason why DA will report this information is that after supercomputer screening, it was found that the number of keywords has increased at an unusual frequency in recent times.

The core content is only one sentence.

　　【As long as you go to Kamihama City, the magical girl can be saved】

 “This is the content collected from network communications during this period.”

The DA staff member pointed to the computer screen in front of him and said to Duan Muhuai and others.

“Most of the sending sources are mobile phone text messages, and there are also online chats.”

 “Are there any causes and consequences?”

"No, in my opinion this is more like some kind of code. Most senders will write in the text message that they had a dream, and then a girl in the dream told her that as long as she goes to Kamihama City, the magical girl will Can be redeemed..."

“It feels very much like the code words that gangsters use to trade.”

Qian Shu also looked at the content displayed on the screen curiously. As Licolis, they often encountered similar situations. For example, when gangs were trading contraband, they would use words like 'The pigeon has arrived at the dock' or 'No.' "Forget the candy box" is a code that anyone watching will understand to avoid eavesdropping.

“But the gangsters who use magical girls as code words seem pretty cute.”

“If there is such a gang, I really want to meet it.”

Yutong Ayano silently complained, while Duanmuhuai touched his chin and thought for a moment.

"Magical girls will be redeemed... What does this mean? Judging from the content of these text messages, it seems that no one has ever asked this question. In other words, they all know the answer?"

“If magical girls sign a contract with the devil, then they must have lost something.”

 At this time Ki Geng also spoke.

“For me, the so-called redemption should be getting back what was lost.”

 “Can such a thing be done?”

"Theoretically, it is possible, but not everyone can do it, let alone helping others get rid of the devil's contract. It is basically impossible. In order to avoid this kind of thing from happening, every devil will carefully consider the contents of the contract to prevent breach of contract. "

“Is there any information from Kamihama City?”

Duanmu Huai stared at the screen and asked, "Look, this is the benefit of cooperating with local snakes." Magical girls are indeed very mysterious existences, but it would be too much to say that there is no way to find them. It's just that I haven't been looking for it seriously. Once I start to look for it seriously, the power of the state agencies cannot be compared with that of a magical girl who plays the role of a kid's house wine.

 “This is very strange.”

　　DA staff member slides the mouse to open the map.

“Only in Kamihama City, there is basically no similar news.”

It can be seen from the map that after searching with the keywords "Magical Girl" and "Redemption", similar information is found almost everywhere in the country, but in Kamihama City itself, which is the target location, there is almost no such information. Indications that information exists.

Hmm, this means that there are three hundred taels of silver here.

“You should be able to get some clues from the usage of monthly passes and train tickets.”

“Yes, in recent months, the number of students taking the train to Kamihama City has been three times the average. Most of them are junior high or high school students, and there are also some elementary school students.”

 “This is really…”

Hearing the answer from the DA staff, Qian Shu's expression suddenly became gloomy, and Yugiri Ayano even frowned.

“They probably want to hold some evil sacrificial ceremony in Kamihama City.”

 Devil, contract, girl, redemption.

　These words put together do not look like a good thing.

“Speaking of which, with so many students missing, didn’t the parents call the police?”

"Judging from the police records from various places, the number of reported missing cases has remained at the average, and there is no sign of a sudden increase." "So the best way is to directly capture a magical girl and interrogate her."

 Duanmu Huai made a decision decisively. It was useless for him and others to be blind and touch the elephant here. Only the magical girl herself knew the matters about the magical girl. In this case, just catch the magical girl and send her over to eat pork chop rice. I don't believe how long these little brats with no hair can hold on.

“Speaking of which, how are we going to catch the magical girl?”

No one present had any objection to the proposal of arresting the magical girl. Qian Shu even showed an expression of eagerness to try - well, as expected, they all work in violent organizations.

Except Mu Geng, but she obviously has no say. At the moment, she is just squatting in the corner and staring at Duanmu Huai with dull eyes.

 “Of course it’s fishing.”

 “Fishing?”

"That's right, don't magical girls hunt witches? Then we will keep an eye on the areas where witches have been locked. As long as someone similar to a magical girl appears, we will immediately go out and capture them."

 Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai clenched his fist and smashed his palm hard.

 “At that time, she can be interrogated properly.”

In this way, the plan to arrest magical girls was launched. Although some people suggested that it would be more convenient to directly use surveillance cameras to track the girls who went to Kamihama City, and then track their destinations, but in fact this is not the case. Although it can be seen from the surveillance cameras that many girls wearing school uniforms from other places did take the tram to Kamihama City, but after they entered Kamihama City, they quickly lost track.

 Considering that the other party is a magical girl, or maybe some kind of demon possessed, this is not surprising.

Just like the eyeball monster that Duanmu Huai and others killed before, it can travel freely through the walls. It is not a difficult thing for the demon possessed. Maybe magical girls can do similar things. .

 So in the end, everyone adopted Duanmuhuai’s suggestion.

In this way, a mysterious big net, without the magical girls knowing it, unknowingly spread to the entire city and spread to every corner of the city.

However, the magical girls know nothing about all this.

 Night falls.

At the top of a tall tower, a girl was standing there, staring at the street below. She wore a strange outfit, and her curly hair fell from the sides. In the dim night, the girl's golden hair also looked dull. If Duanmu Huai were here, then he would be able to recognize that the blond girl in front of him was exactly the one he saw after killing the witch in the alley.

 “Yo, Mami.”

 At this moment, a white, strange animal with long ears appeared from the shoulder of the blond girl.

 “Are you ready to take action?”

 “Sure, QB.”

 Hearing QB's question, the blond girl named Asami nodded.

"It seems that there are no more troublemakers today, so I plan to eliminate the witches here."

　　After saying this, Asami paused and stared at QB.

“Speaking of QB, do you know who they are? To me, they don’t seem like magical girls.”

As she spoke, Asami recalled her last action. At that time, as usual, she wanted to enter the witch's boundary and destroy the witch. But what surprised Asami was that a group of unidentified people quickly blocked the entire alleyway before she could act. Then she saw two girls entering the witch barrier - although she didn't know what method they used. But judging from the fact that the witch's barrier was lifted in the end, it was obvious that they defeated the witch.

 But... Asami always felt that those two people didn't look like magical girls. After all, ordinary magical girls would not send staff to block the streets, and then send ambulances to transport all the victims away after the end. You can clearly feel their organization...

But then again, Asami was somewhat unhappy about this.

　　After all, this area is your own hunting territory. According to the rules between magical girls, you cannot steal each other's territory from other magical girls. The other party not only grabbed the territory, but even went so far as to do so with great fanfare, taking advantage of the strength of their numbers... This made Asami very unhappy.

 There can’t be such a magical girl, right?

“They are indeed not magical girls.”

 However, QB's answer was beyond Asami's expectation.

"Isn't it? But since they are not magical girls, why can they destroy the witch?"

"I'm not sure about this, but I'm sure those people are not our friends."

QB shook his tail, spoke, and then lowered his head again.

 “Alright, Asami, it’s time to take action.”

 “That’s right.”

Hearing QB's answer, Asami calmed down, and then she jumped from the high radio tower, and then disappeared into the dark shadow of the construction site below.

 This scene was completely recorded by the camera next to it.
