"No, I still don't need to." For a moment, Hyliga seemed to be seriously considering whether or not to meet the Hyvas, but then dismissed the idea. Although he is still more concerned about Ling's affairs, this time he came here for a purpose that is not like this, it is better not to make extraneous branches.

"I knew it." Arios had obviously thought of this as well, and was prepared, taking out a card from the drawer, "I'll give this to you." ”

"What is this? Heliga looked through the card, and there was only a mysterious code of complete unknown meaning on it. ”

"This is what Ling's little girl secretly stuffed to me before leaving, I hope I can pass it on to you one day." "She's smart enough to know that one of the conditions for her political and status asylum when she goes to Liber is to make a contribution to Liber's scientific and technological development, and I'm afraid that there will be a lot of restrictions on it when the time comes—so she gave it to you." ”

"In other words, this thing can bypass Richard's surveillance and contact Ling directly?" This was a bit unexpected by Helriga, who didn't expect her to hide such a hand, "But what should I do with this thing?" ”

"I don't know. In secrecy requirements, no one knows of this thing except you and me at this time. I myself only know a little about the conduction terminals, and I don't know anything about the deeper operations. This thing can only be kept for you to dig slowly. However, in this autonomous prefecture, there is one person who is more trustworthy. ”

"You mean Theo? Didn't she go to the headquarters of the Lehman Autonomous Region? ”

"yes, I'm not talking about her. Crossbell Sewer Zone B, remove the iron plate on the outer layer of the entrance, drill into the largest ventilation pipe, and go all the way to the right, you can see a diversion terminal at the end of the waterway - there is someone there who can help you, probably. ”

"I don't think I've heard anyone say that...... Is that the imp named Jonah? Heliga remembered that this person had been a defeated subordinate of Ling, and he had watched Ling defeat that guy in a cyber hacking war.

"What, you know." Arios had a "I said it in vain" expression, "That's a lot easier." As far as I know, even the killer hired by the Black Moon will go to him from time to time to collect information. Although it is just a loophole that the current law is not sound enough...... But at least the ability is still guaranteed. ”

"I'll think about it." This is a way to be able to contact Ling directly, but since Ling has reminded herself in such a tactful way, it means that it is better not to let too many people know about this matter. So is it to find someone who has only heard about it in rumors...... It remains to be considered.

“…… Threatening the topics that Tio and Bobo bumped into might have a miraculous effect. Arios saw Helliga's confusion and added.

————————————————————————————-

“…… I'll go, why does this place smell so bad......" Following Arios' instructions, Heliga finally decided to at least take a look, and see if he wanted to be involved, but as soon as he climbed out of the vent, Heliga asked about a rather pungent smell of rot - it was not some venom from a demonic beast, nor some evil religious ritual, but simply the rancid smell of rotting food - the disposable lunch boxes everywhere and the leftovers from eating were a good proof of this. It seems that this man named Jonah is the ultimate dead house where all food and lodging problems are solved—regardless of ability, the dump-like environment has already diminished Haliga's initial impression.

"Anyone?" Heliga pinched his nose, knocked on the door, and said angrily.

There was a rustling sound in the room. Then, a somewhat immature and arrogant-sounding voice sounded: "Who are you?" ”

"I've heard that there's a nice intelligence room under Crossbell." Helliga said.

"Ah...... It's a new guest introduced by a regular customer. The voice in the room suddenly realized, "But to ensure authenticity...... Who introduced me to you? ”

"......" Heliga thought for a moment and decided not to betray Arios, "Okay...... It's Tio Prato. ”

There was the sound of something falling on the floor.

"What...... What the! "Obviously, the mention of Theo's name made Jonah very uncomfortable and reacted very much," the woman ...... Woo, come up with this method again......"

“…… I've asked her to help you with something I've done before, but she's not in Crossbell right now - he'd mentioned before that you're probably second only to her in terms of skill in Crossbell's range. In this way, Helriga tried to smooth Jonah's tense nerves.

Sure enough, Jonah was very useful for this assessment: "Yes...... Is that so? Hahaha...... That boring girl who always has a straight face would say something like this. ”

"So could you please open the door?" The stench made Helriga very uncomfortable, and he had already made up his mind to force his way in if there was any more ink on the other side.

"Ah...... Right now, right away. As if to hear the impatience in Heliga's voice, there was the sound of eager footsteps in the room, and then the door was slammed open - a blonde-haired, freckled imp about the height of Theo, "Welcome light—oops, ahem, ahem, it stinks." ”

"You're embarrassed to say it." Heliga pursed his lips, "You made this garbage. Taking advantage of this, Heliga glanced curiously inside the room—several large screens were flashing, each popping up different programs.

"Ahem...... Hmm, what kind of service do you need for this guest...... Well? The door was quickly closed, and Jonah, who was coughing and gasping for air, was clearly shocked by the pile of garbage outside. However, after recovering from his senses, he showed a surprised expression when he saw Heliga's face.

"Y-you're Haliga?"

"How do you know my name?"

"Hmm...... Your name spreads very quickly throughout the Empire. Jonah looked a little flustered, "Wait, you just said you're an old acquaintance of that guy Theo...... This, I ...... This ......"

“…… Have you been taught a bad lesson by Theo before, I've heard all of this. But I'm coming to you this time, and I do have serious business to do. "I want to ask you - what do the numbers and letters on this card mean?" ”

"I'll take a look." Jonah took the card, glanced at it, and immediately said, "Hmm...... Isn't this the temporary wiring password of the guide communication? ”

"What temporary password?" Heliga didn't understand.

"Temporary, encrypted communication – a very clever technique. To put it simply, it's like a letter that burns immediately after reading. When it comes to the topic of his specialty, Jonah becomes smug on his side.
