Chapter 287 The more information the better
"I'm starting to get a clue."
night.
The pink-haired rabbit girl sat on a chair at the food stall, munching on lotus root slices from her bowl, and spoke to the three people at the table.
The four villains eventually arrived at the night market recommended by Nan Jiayu.
Lotus root and pig's trotters, barbecued meat skewers, braised prawns, as well as pickled cucumbers to cleanse the palate and several desserts, made for a very lively atmosphere.
There are many reasons, but the biggest reason is that the late-night snack was only enough for one person, and four people were not full at all, so they came to the food stall to have more food.
"Rabbit, do you have a clue? Did you find any clues in the dog's file?"
Su Tianqing asked curiously.
Fei Yelan rolled her eyes, silently protesting the way she had been addressed.
"I guess so, at least it answers the dog's biggest question right now," Xia Taotao said, taking a small sip of the champagne she hadn't finished earlier, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"Hey! I'm a wolf!!"
"...No, there's not much difference." The rabbit girl muttered softly, changing the subject as she went.
"Let me share my thoughts. If anyone disagrees, please feel free to raise them."
Although Su Tianqing found it strange that Tao Tao's slightly tipsy state was so contrary to her usual socially awkward self, she also found the contrast quite interesting.
Very happy.
The gray wolf sullenly began gnawing on the large pig's trotter in front of him, but his ears were perked up, eager to hear what the rabbit girl had to say.
Taking a sip of warm water to clear her throat, Xia Taotao composed herself and said:
"Skip the process and go straight to my conclusions."
"Ye Lan, you were born in Hong Kong, so it's very likely that you lived in Kowloon Walled City when you were a child."
"But your parents disappeared during the Kowloon Monster Attack, and you, being a young child at the time, lost your guardian and were placed in an orphanage in Yamashiro by the Hero Association."
"The Hero Association had already transferred the resettlement housing to your name, but you only recently discovered the property certificate."
A long silence followed.
Fei Yelan opened her mouth slightly, her wolf ears drooped, and her wolf tail hung low. The girl seemed to have suffered a huge blow and instantly lost her spirit.
Although she had prepared for this conclusion in advance, she still felt a great sense of powerlessness when faced with reality.
"So that means..."
The girl murmured,
"My parents, they actually already..."
Then came an even longer silence.
The nighttime food stalls were bustling with laughter and the aroma of delicious food, but the atmosphere at this table was unusually quiet.
For Fei Yelan, this answer was perhaps too cruel.
She was constantly trying to find out about her origins, to find her parents, to know where they were, and why she grew up in an orphanage.
however……
According to Xia Taotao's analysis, Fei Yelan's parents disappeared during the monster attack, and she lost her guardian as a result, which is why the Hero Association placed her in the Yamashiro Orphanage at the time.
As for the reason for their disappearance... everyone knows the answer, but no one dares to say it outright.
"Ye Lan, are you sure you've been in the mountain city orphanage since you can remember? Don't you have even the slightest memory of your past?" Su Tianqing pressed.
"Mmm..."
When asked this question, the gray wolf girl roused herself slightly and slowly shook her head.
"No, my memories of my childhood are very vague. I'm pretty sure I grew up in this mountain town as far back as I can remember."
"I see... It seems all of these things happened before you formed your memories, and for now, we can only decipher them through that document."
Su Tianqing sighed and turned the conversation to Xia Taotao.
However, Tao Tao's intelligence gathering and analysis skills are indeed outstanding.
She knew from Inari's memories that Inari had devised a plan to fight Jormungandr, but in her deductions about Ye Lan's background, she came to a similar conclusion to Xia Tao Tao's.
You should know that Rabbit only had a demolition file and a document from the Ministry of Infrastructure. How could she analyze such a small amount of information so accurately?
No wonder he's the intelligence minister I've set my sights on!
"But there are still some details I don't understand."
Xia Taotao continued, looking puzzled.
"Why is Inari getting involved in the infrastructure department's affairs? According to my information, Inari almost never participates in the Hero Association's affairs, except when fighting monsters and accepting performance invitations."
"They're even worse at being hands-off managers than Hyacinth and the others."
Su Tianqing gave a helpless, bitter smile.
I've heard Xiaoyu mention it before. Bai Lili and the others at least frequently participate in the affairs of the Shanghai Association, but the Hyacinth Squad does almost nothing and spends all their time fighting monsters.
...But this also seems to be related to her continued activity, which means that Hyacinth and the others have no spare time to participate in the affairs of the Hero Association.
Even Miss Dandelion participated more than them!
Just as Xia Taotao uttered those words, new information arrived from the familiar's side regarding the Secret Tome quest page:
[Mission: Intelligence Analysis]
[Sharing memories of Inari with companions leads to a deeper analysis]
[Reward: 500 Divine Stones]
Oh?
Upon seeing the task given in the secret manual, Su Tianqing immediately became excited.
Sure enough, even the secret manual acknowledged Rabbit's intelligence-gathering abilities.
Giving only 500 Divine Stones is a bit too little! Mystic Codex, don't underestimate Rabbit's hard work like that!
"I have something to say about this."
While inwardly criticizing the book's stinginess, the golden-haired fox girl sat up straight and spoke seriously.
Then, she recounted how she had visually memorized things from the props in the Inari statue.
Since Rabbit has already analyzed things to this extent, there's no need for me to keep it to myself anymore. I might as well pass on all the information and let Rabbit make full use of it!
Nan Jiayu already knew that the fox beside her was reading the memories left by Inari, but this was the first time she had heard her talk about such detailed memories, so she seemed quite interested.
But the more Xia Taotao listened, the more serious her expression became. She even pulled out a notebook from under her skirt and started taking notes quickly, following Su Tianqing's words.
Especially when talking about the astral behemoth "Jormungandr", Xia Taotao suddenly had an expression of realization and buried her head to quickly write down a few lines.
"Hmm...it seems that Miss Inari has discovered something quite extraordinary," Nan Jiayu said.
The catgirl felt like she was listening to a story; she seemed to understand something, but also seemed to have missed the point.
As for Fei Yelan...
She was already staring blankly at the bone, her clear eyes filled with the quintessential "Huh?" expression.
The gray wolf didn't understand at all!
"I see!"
Putting down her pen, Xia Taotao slammed her hand on the table and stood up, revealing a very confident expression.
"Dog!"
"Huh?...Oh, are you calling me?"
Fei Yelan turned her head blankly, still immersed in the brain overload she had just experienced.
"That's right, with the crucial information provided by Fox, I can now fully depict your background!"
Everyone was taken aback.
Fei Yelan's eyes widened. Although she didn't understand what was going on, she was full of anticipation for the outcome.
Nan Jiayu was surprised by his companion's excellent intelligence capabilities and casually tossed a peeled, braised prawn into his mouth.
As for Su Tianqing...
[500 Divine Stones Received]
Wow, that's fast! The bunny is so fast!
Come on, let me hear what kind of intelligence you've gleaned from these memories, the villains' intelligence chief!
