Chapter 4: Unspeakable Tasks

"Today's task...... It seems like a lot of trouble......"

Randy rubbed his hair with a pained look.

Rarely, Lloyd and Ellie didn't contradict him.

【Missing Professor】

The content is presumably that a professor at the Medical University of Santa Ulsla has disappeared......

Such cases are often very troublesome.

Because there are so many possibilities. It may be that he was kidnapped, or he was involved in some incident, in fact, it is possible that he was simply lost.

However, all things considered, it is indeed the most likely that he was still involved in the incident.

After all, the current Cross Bell is not lacking in all kinds of conspiracies.

"Is the professor missing......

Lloyd scrutinized over the short message, trying to get more clues.

"Hey, I'm not talking about that kind of task! I mean this! ”

Randy pointed at his hand, and Theo obediently called up a new mission as he asked.

【Urgent Mission・Can't Say】

Mission Description: Can't say anything in short! Just come here!

………………

It's so simple that it's hard to know where to start.

What do you mean by can't be said! What else is it called to hurry up! Where are you?

Is this a new kind of joke?

However, this task was clearly sent from the guide terminal, in other words, it was a commission approved by the police department - spam emails and requests judged to be hoaxes would be directly intercepted by the police department.

The source of the letter was the Guerrilla Association, which shows that this mission still has a certain degree of credibility.

The problem is ...... What the hell is this......

Even Lloyd, a top student at the police academy, didn't know what to do at all, so he selectively ignored the task.

"Probably someone's prank?"

Ellie smiled wryly, as if to comfort herself.

You shook his head and decisively denied: "That's not right. If it's a prank, it shouldn't be sent via the lead email. Probably some kind of urgent task. ”

After being silent for half a minute, weighing the pros and cons, he took out his almost brand new police notes as he talked.

"Leave this task to me. I'm also a former guerrilla, and I've handled a lot of this kind of mission. ”

Lloyd nodded.

The speed of the swim is fast, and with his chains, it can be described as unimpeded in this crowded city, and coupled with the connections on the guerrilla's side, this task is the right judgment for him.

As for the other task, the missing professor, because the conditions are clear, knowing that he is a professor at a medical university, he should be able to inquire about some basic information, so that he can immediately carry out search and rescue, and the search mission, of course, the more people, the better.

"Ah, then please."

Lloyd immediately agreed to his division.

"But don't you need a helper?"

Noelle was also a little worried, after all, it was still too difficult to extract the client's situation from that scarce information. Even if it is speculated, it is too reluctant to look for it alone.

"No, it won't. Rest assured. If you need help, I promise I won't do it casually, and I'll contact you. ”

Swim back to give her a reassuring smile, and Noelle sighed and didn't continue. Behind him, Randy looked at You with a wicked smile, laughing while trying to restrain himself from laughing.

Noelle snorted coldly, and jerked his elbow to stop his stupid movements.

"Well, no problem, let's separate for the time being. Ladies and gentlemen, let me see what my teachers have taught you. ”

You smiled and cheered up his teammates.

He would ask Crutz to be his teacher, because he liked his multifaceted qualities in addition to fighting. Combat effectiveness is not something that can be improved by leaps and bounds in a month or two -- half a year of hard training is about the same.

And now, it is a celebration, on the one hand, the support department is very busy, and there is no spare energy to train, and on the other hand, it is not good to disturb Krutz and their Yaxing who are playing the festival. After all, after the celebration, they were going back. Neither the Imperial Guerrilla Association, to which Tovar belonged, nor the Liber Guerrilla Association, to which the Crutz trio belonged, were sufficient to give such a group of powerful partisans more than a month off.

――――――――――――――――――――――

After everyone left, You decisively went to the Guerrilla Association.

From Noelle's suspicions, You decisively discovered that they did not know much about the work of the guerrillas. Otherwise, they will know right away that their task looks like a hassle, but in fact it is not too cumbersome.

From the fact that it was sent by the guerrilla association, a lot of information can be learned.

The entrustment of the guerrilla work requires the client to go to the association in person. So, the association definitely has his message. If you're lucky, maybe he'll be in the association. Moreover, the client's task can also be approximated.

He said that his task could not be said, so there is no doubt that it was to prevent too many people from knowing about this task. Then this kind of task either needs to kill people afterwards, or it will be very shocking to spread it. It was unrealistic to say no unless he wanted to oppose the Guerrilla Association. So, it's definitely going to be a huge piece of news that will cause turmoil.

And this kind of super-large news, the first thing that comes to mind is state secrets, and this kind of thing will not be entrusted to a civil organization like guerrillas. Secondly, there is the news that Illya is missing.

You preliminarily judged that there should be something wrong with some celebrity. Of course, this is just to make yourself mentally prepared, you can really guess what the task is, You simply don't want to be a policeman, and it is more promising to change careers to fortune telling. Moreover, the conclusions made in this way often have the side effect of "preconceived", so it can only be used for psychological preparation.

Pushing open the door of the Guerrilla Association, the first thing you see is Michelle's manly face and delicate expression.

"Ah, this is not Youjun, how did you remember to come to us today, hahahaha."

Speaking without any change in tone and sentence reading frustration, it is immediately clear that Michelle is expressing his dissatisfaction.

Oh, yes...... Anyone who is like that will be unhappy (see the previous training article for specific reasons).

"I'm sorry, but I've been tasked here. The mission that can't be said is sent from here. ”

"Hmph...... The client was upstairs, but they tried their best to stop him! How can you thank me! ”

Michelle snorted, although he wanted to continue to lose his temper, but the quality of the guerrilla receptionist still made him suppress his temper and forcibly start talking about business.

You smiled, threw down a sentence that would definitely pay off in the future, and went upstairs.

When someone is angry, it's better not to provoke him.

On the second floor of the Guerrilla Association, there is a rest room for resting and consulting materials.

As soon as he went upstairs, Yu felt a sinister atmosphere in the room.

How to describe it?

If Crossbell's guerrillas suddenly skipped work en masse to go out to play, Michelle would probably be in this state.

En.

That's an almost curse-level grudge. Of course, it is a grudge without malice.

"Well, is that the one you entrusted with the task of 'can't say'?"

Having made up his mind a conclusion, out of politeness, You still asked.

"Are you...... Guerrillas? Or the police? Forget it, I'm in a hurry right now - no, I'm not in a hurry......"

Seeing the swim up, the visitor immediately panicked.

It can be seen that he is now so confused that he can't take care of himself.

The client was about forty years old, with a mustache and a thin face, a brown suit, and a temperament that looked like a businessman and a working person. His neatly combed hair gave him the impression of elegance, but now his agitation completely ruined that impression.

It took about five minutes for the client to finally sort out his emotions.

"My name is Locke. He is one of the editors-in-chief of the Crossbell news agency...... Do you read newspapers, though? ”

Hearing him ask, although You was a little strange, he still nodded.

Although there is always a gap between the content of the newspaper and the real situation, it is also an important source of information.

"Oooh! It's really rare. I thought young people didn't like newspapers anymore - you know Giles? ”

"I don't know."

Listening to You's denial, the client let out a long sigh.

"It's normal not to know. After all, he's an unknown writer who serializes short mystery novels in newspapers......"

"Huh?"

You probably understood.

"Well, is it that this writer ran out of inspiration and ran away, so that the editors-in-chief couldn't find anyone?"

β€œοΌοΌ No, it's professional! Good reasoning! It's not all, but it's pretty much! He said that his serialization was completely unpopular because his subject matter was too boring, so he started looking for a workaround a week ago and finally ...... Finally he still ...... Or ......"

It seems that I still haven't found inspiration in the end......

You has some sympathy for this editor-in-chief and this author.

"So! Please help me find him. He should still be in this autonomous region...... If he did flee abroad...... That's fate...... I don't expect him to deliver it, but I can't just disappear. ”

The editor-in-chief sighed, editing is really difficult.

You glanced at him sympathetically and asked him for a copy of the author's information, and in the editor-in-chief's thousand thanks, You began his task.
