章 90: Good, Well Done, Rita!
—Fortunately, when Jiang Qiao and the others began their operation, the mayor of Nagazora City, due to some unspeakable personal reasons, narrowly escaped and wasn't approached by Sakura.
But when he received the announcement from the Nagazora City government in his secret private apartment, the mayor, waking up from his lover's embrace, was first confused, then furious.
What was the meaning of this? Such a major matter as relocating the city, and he, the mayor, knew nothing about it until it was already underway?
This kind of operation was extremely shocking, even within the political rules of the Japan.
It was hard not to suspect that his subordinates were trying to rebel.
Therefore, the enraged mayor rushed out of his gentle embrace and angrily summoned the various councilors and relevant departments of Nagazora City, intending to deal with the bastard who dared to act on their own.
Storming into the meeting room surrounded by his secretaries, the mayor immediately launched into a furious tirade at the Nagazora officials and politicians present:
"You idiots, do you know what you've done? You're committing a crime! Baka!"
However, there was no response.
The meeting room was silent, not a single person spoke.
This silent atmosphere stunned the mayor, and he became even more furious:
"Baka! Why aren't you speaking? Are you all pretending to be mute?!"
"They won't respond to you."
A cheerful and crisp voice rang out. As the mayor turned his head, the twin-tailed girl with two-toned hair and a magician's hat entered the meeting room.
"Who are you?! This is City Hall! Security! Security! Get this woman out of here!"
Under normal circumstances, the mayor would have been interested in Vill-V's beauty, but now he was too preoccupied with the sudden changes in Nagazora City to care about such things.
Moreover, the strange atmosphere in the meeting room and Vill-V's gaze, which made him extremely uncomfortable, as if she was looking at a monkey, also made the mayor sense something amiss.
"Don't bother shouting. The security personnel have already been dismissed. They're probably packing their luggage and preparing to leave Nagazora City by now."
Hearing Vill-V's words, the mayor finally understood. The current situation wasn't a rebellion by his subordinates, but… all the political figures in Nagazora City had been controlled.
Realizing this, he looked at the other politicians in the meeting room and finally noticed that their eyes were dull, like dolls.
"It's you! You did this?! How dare you hold officials of City Hall hostage, you bastards! Baka!"
Although he didn't know Vill-V, after discovering the anomaly, with the mayor's political instincts, it wasn't difficult to guess that this was definitely done by Vill-V and the people behind her. Recalling the previous warning from above about a certain secret organization, he became furious.
"Just you wait, I'll report this to the higher-ups! You lawless bastards!"
"That won't be necessary, Sakura~ Let's calm Mr. Mayor down."
Following Vill-V's words, just as the mayor was about to say something, he felt a sharp pain in his head and then fell into darkness.
She didn't ask Sakura to control him with the Key of Corruption, not because she was soft-hearted or incapable, but simply because she didn't want to.
—As the ultimate psychic virus, the Jizo Mitama controlled others by eroding their consciousness and seizing control of their bodies. In this process, it would inevitably sense some of the target's thoughts and feelings.
As for these politicians, Higokumaru, the core of the psychic virus, didn't like them.
Anyway, the intended goal had been achieved, and the mayor had no further use.
…As for what to do with him afterward…
Out of humanitarianism, Jiang Qiao and the other two unanimously agreed to respect the mayor's personal wishes, fulfilling his beautiful wish to coexist with the city.
Surely, Mr. Mayor would be happy to accompany Nagazora City to its end, right?
…
The Overseer at Schicksal HQ had been feeling quite annoyed lately.
Project K, aimed at reviving the Second Herrscher, was progressing steadily, and the subject, K423, was growing and developing well. Everything was going smoothly.
But then, in Nagazora City, where the subject was located, a Herrscher reaction far beyond his expectations, one that Otto felt he couldn't control, appeared.
His usual approach to such existences was to try to eliminate them, such as the former Joyce, or Siegfried, who demonstrated the power of his bloodline and maximized the power of the Judgement of Shamash during the Second Eruption.
But this time, it didn't seem to be going so smoothly.
Not only did his old friend's personal intervention yield no results, but even his professional glove, the S-rank Valkyrie Rita, lost contact after entering Nagazora City.
And the Gem of Desire transplantation experiment also ended in failure.
Bad news, bad news, all bad news. Couldn't there be some good news to cheer him up?
The gloomy Overseer played his beloved Kallen Fantasy game, hoping to vent his frustration, but only felt worse.
As Saint Kallen's most devout believer, in this game Otto specifically developed based on her, he had always been far ahead with an extremely high score.
Only once, more than ten years ago, did someone unknowingly steal his top spot.
But that person seemed to have disappeared later.
And now…
Another bastard came to compete for the top spot?!
Looking at the ID occupying the top of the leaderboard: Miss Pink Fairy, Otto frowned, feeling extremely annoyed.
Suddenly, a projection screen appeared before him—
"Overseer."
Hearing the familiar, charming, and gentle voice, Otto turned his head to see Rita, who had lost contact after entering Nagazora City.
Putting down his game controller, he didn't show much emotion and just casually asked:
"What happened?"
Otto didn't ask about the mission's progress. Since even Rita, with her abilities, could lose contact in Nagazora City, it could only mean that the situation there wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface.
"I apologize, I was completely no match for the target."
"Hmm."
From the first glance, Otto knew that the man named Jiang Qiao was definitely not simple. This result was within his expectations.
However…
Being able to defeat Rita, he could glean more information from this.
"I was unfortunately captured by that man, but he doesn't seem to have any malicious intent towards me. I believe I can use this opportunity to further understand and investigate this man."
"Oh?"
Otto instantly became interested and immediately responded:
"You can!"
Of course, he could, absolutely!
He was very fond of planting spies.
After all, through spies, he could further understand the other party's information and grasp their weaknesses.
Moreover, K423 was also with that man. This spy could grasp the movements of both of them!
A double win!
Rita continued, "To avoid arousing the target's suspicion, I may not be able to contact you frequently, please understand, Overseer."
Approved! All approved!
It was just a long-term undercover mission. If she could figure out the situation with that unknown Herrscher, this was nothing!
Otto ended the call with a happy expression, his previously gloomy mood instantly brightening.
—Good, Rita, well done!
