Chapter 15: The Leading Party

Wearing a newly conjured rabbit mask, the Bright Moon Rabbit looks particularly mysterious in this colorful secret language square. The mask not only conceals her true face, but also adds a bit of mystery and unpredictability.

She reached out and opened the capsule series of locatin, which was used to help the team members develop each other after being injected with a concealing agent.

After the positioning element was opened, the teammates around her, who had been giving her a faint and flickering feeling, suddenly became clear.

Her voice then passed through the mask and was clearly and clearly conveyed to every team member

"All members of the team dispersed to investigate, and according to the information given by the goblin merchant, they found the two direct members of the 'vomiter' in the Secret Whisper Square. In the meantime, investigate and gather all the information about the Whisper Square, and remember to turn on the Mechanical Butler's message sharing and operator assistance. Finally, remember, don't cause unrest, don't do it privately. ”

After receiving the order, the other commandos nodded to the Bright Moon Rabbit in understanding.

Afterwards, the Bright Moon made a simple but unambiguous gesture, which was a signal within the task force that the team could begin to disperse.

Upon receiving the signal, the commandos of the task force quickly but silently began to spread around, each of them familiar with how to scout and gather information without attracting attention.

And after the team members dispersed, the Bright Moon Rabbit called out the mechanical butler rabbit.

The rabbit hovered beside her, and the optical stealth device was turned on.

"Rabbit, turn on the real-time recording function, synchronize the law enforcement image to the director's office, and at the same time, start the corresponding terrain mapping." She calmly ordered the rabbit.

"Understood!" The rabbit responded, and then its mechanical prosthetic eyes began to flow through a myriad of data turbulence.

After doing this, the Bright Moon Rabbit began to wander around the Magic Fountain at the beginning of the Whisper Square.

Her gaze always fell on a statue in the center of the magic fountain.

In the center of the fountain is a sculpture of a huge magic wand made of sterling silver, the tip of the wand points to the sky, and from time to time it sprays colorful magic water, and when it falls into the fountain, it will make a pleasant sound, like a heavenly sound.

Moonlight's intuition of crisis told her that it was a very dangerous Nexus defensive weapon. It was because of its existence that she had told the other members of the task force not to do it privately.

She strolls through the Enchanted Fountain, which is surrounded by a plaza made of Philosopher's Stone, dotted with small magical plants, such as glowing luminous flowers and singing silver-leaved grass. These plants provide natural lighting and background music to the square at night.

There are several benches made of ancient wood around the perimeter for resting and communicating.

The benches are carved with patterns of various magical creatures, and touching these patterns will also give a sense of the characteristics of the corresponding creatures, such as the phoenix motif will give warmth and comfort.

The moon rabbit walked and observed, while thinking about the next task in his heart.

"According to the information provided by the goblin merchants, a large amount of foreign capital has settled in the Secret Whisper Square, and many forces from all realms have set up their own production lines in the newly generated hub block, and the 'vomiters' are naturally no exception, and their pharmaceutical factories are most likely set up here in the Secret Whisper Square."

The Addison Commonwealth is one of the few alien forces that completely opens up market access to foreign races, and although the Oretin Empire and the Daevite Empire are both alien forces, they still use slavery for foreign races.

After the fall of the New World and the [Golden Tree] connected the worlds, the Addison Federation announced in the alien states that aliens could also join the federation and become citizens of the federation, and established the "Alien Rights Act" to protect the legitimate rights and interests of alien citizens in the federation.

Many alien forces from all walks of life were attracted by the Commonwealth's lucrative investment conditions, and a large number of aliens established business operations with the Federation, including the establishment of production facilities, the purchase of local companies, or the establishment of joint ventures with local companies.

Many exotic manufacturers have also directly relocated their production lines to the hub and established production bases directly in the target market to help the company enter the large market of the new world more effectively, bypass trade barriers such as high tariffs and import restrictions, and more directly meet the needs of local consumers.

The 'emeticizers' have also moved their production lines to the hub to circumvent the dual realities of the FBI and the Authority.

It's no secret that the FBI can't stuff money, however, the bureau doesn't interfere in anything in the hub block.

So if the production line is set up in the hub block, the investigation bureau will not care.

The Authority has just been established, and although it is the Big Three of the New Alliance, its interference and influence in the Federation are unusually weak.

However, it is time for this weak posture to change.

With her mechanical butler Adam, the Bright Moon Rabbit slowly marching along the Whisper Plaza, carefully marking and observing each unique shop.

Every part of the square was full of strange things, but her eyes were always on the spot that caught her attention the most. Finally, she stopped in front of an astrology shop located in the corner of the square—the Thousand Eyes Stargazing House.

The exterior of this shop presents a quaint and mysterious style, with midnight blue and starlight silver as the main colors, which perfectly blends the depth of the night sky with the twinkle of starlight. Above the storefront, a sign made of phantom crystals is hung, with the name "Thousand Eyes Stargazing House" engraved on it.

Illuminated by the hub's illumination, the signboard shimmers softly in the light of the stars, as if to guide those with a deep desire for the stars to explore.

At the doorway, a small but delicate bronze telescope sculpture stands silently, with the telescope lens pointed at the sky.

The Bright Moon Rabbit's keen instincts made her stop here, and she obeyed her inner instincts and headed in the direction of the Stargazing House.

Jingle Bell –

When the moon rabbit pushes open the door of the stargazing house, the wind chimes on the door make a crisp and pleasant sound, as if to welcome her arrival.

As she stepped inside, her eyes were immediately drawn to the store's astronomical and astrological décor.

The interior is filled with astronomical and astrological elements, and the walls are covered with ancient star charts and charts of celestial movements, as well as depictions of various constellations.

In the center is a large, precise bronze telescope pointing to the skylight, which customers can use to observe specific stars.

In the corner there is a dedicated astrology area, equipped with a crystal ball, a astrolabe, and a complex set of astrological instruments.

Bright Moon Rabbit's gaze scanned through the store's star-filled décor, and she was quickly drawn to the manager, the small, lean halfling woman.

The halfling old woman's hair with a touch of silver-gray was casually tied into a low ponytail, and a few strands of hair hung softly down to her ears, adding a bit of tenderness and kindness.

Her attire was simple and functional, usually a soft brown robe with delicate star and moon motifs embroidered on the cuffs and neckline, showing her love of astronomy. Around her neck, a slender silver chain hung from which hung a small copper astrolabe.

The Bright Moon Rabbit's mind involuntarily recalls the racial record of halflings: halflings are usually between three and four feet tall (about 0.9 to 1.2 meters), and they are shorter than normal humans.

They have very thick soles and long, curly foot hair, so halflings usually don't wear shoes.

Moreover, the faces of halflings usually show youthful and happy features, and they live longer than the average human.

Halflings are known for their bravery, optimism, and loyalty. Although they tend to live a quiet life, they can also show amazing courage and determination when necessary.

The old woman in front of her should be in her 70s, but her face is still full of mellow joy.

At this moment, in the quiet atmosphere of the Thousand Eyes Stargazing House, the halfling old woman was indulging in her own little enjoyment.

As she savoured the sweets in her hands, she exhaled wisps of smoke from her magnificent pipe, as if such moments gave her great satisfaction and peace.

When the sound of wind chimes rang on the door, she raised her head slightly and looked at the door, but only muttered to herself, "The wind is too strong, how can the door open".

Apparently, she didn't notice the arrival of the Bright Moon Rabbit, who had been smeared with a concealment agent.

The Bright Moon Rabbit stood silently beside it, observing the halfling woman who lived beneath the stars.

Memories of the unique and comfortable eating habits of the halflings welled up in her mind – they were truly famous foodies who arranged multiple meals throughout the day, including breakfast, breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, and supper.

This love and enjoyment of food seems to be one of the most talked about parts of halfling culture.

The old woman, indulging in the atmosphere of dessert and nicotine indulgence, did not seem to be aware of the impending danger.

If the Bright Moon Rabbit is on an assassination mission at the moment, then she only needs to pull out the star breath and modulate it to silent mode, and she can unknowingly open the old woman's head.

So the old woman was lucky.

The moon rabbit opened her mouth and politely called out to the old woman.

"Good evening, ma'am."

"Ahh

This simple and polite greeting echoed in the quiet astrology room, but unexpectedly caused quite a stir to the old woman named Elodis.

She was enjoying her dessert while smoking tobacco from her gorgeous pipe, and she had no idea that anyone would appear in front of her at such a moment, especially since she hadn't noticed anyone entering.

Elodis's whole body trembled with fright, and the dessert in her left hand that was about to be put in her mouth fell directly to the ground with a slight sound. Fortunately, the pipe in her hand was held firmly and did not suffer the same fate.

Her face showed a dazed and frightened expression, and her eyes were wide open, looking at the "girl" who suddenly appeared in front of her, wearing a mask, yellow rabbit ears on her head, and wearing a field combat uniform.

"You are?"

Although the appearance of the Bright Moon Rabbit brought a moment of surprise to Ellodis, she, as an experienced astrologer, quickly adjusted her mood.

Elodis subconsciously activated the necklace with [Prediction] on his neck, and the compass on the necklace turned several times, but it did not bring any feedback to it as usual.

There is no feedback, this is thaumaturgy in which even the [Juggernaut] can predict even the slightest bit of information......

Elodis was horrified, but she didn't show it.

"The first time to come to the Secret Whisper Square, when they saw a stargazing house, they wanted to come in and have a look and see what they could get." The Bright Moon Rabbit replied in a cold tone.

"Harvest? Guest: What do you want? Elodis took a vigorous puff of his pipe to suppress his startling, and then asked quickly.

The moon rabbit pointed to the earth beneath his feet.

"I want to know everything about the Whisper Square—the terrain area, the business situation, the land snakes, and the distribution of the various racial forces."

Hearing the Bright Moon Rabbit's request, Elodis' mouth opened slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.

In the Secret Whisper Square, newcomers who come here and claim to know everything are usually some adventurers who don't know the height of the sky, or strong dragons with extraordinary strength and deep backgrounds.

She subconsciously looked at the guest in front of her, and the sense of disappearance made her have to brace her spirits, for fear that if she was not careful, the visitor would disappear from her sight again.

Her gaze involuntarily landed on the rabbit ears above the other person's head, a unique sign that confused her and made it difficult to determine the true identity of the visitor in front of her. The Whisper Square is a gathering of races from all planes, and behind each new face may be a hidden story.

But for a newcomer who doesn't know anything about the Secret Whisper Square, especially if he asks to "understand everything" in such a direct way, it is likely to point to humans.

Human Words......

Elodis struggled inwardly, but the other party had really found someone, in the Secret Whisper Square, in the Magic Fountain area, she Elodis Star Eyes did have all the first-hand information in this area.

She herself is the leader of the intelligence traffickers in the area, and she knows every corner of the square and the ins and outs of every shop.

Faced with a visitor like the Moon Rabbit, Elodis had to weigh her options.

On the one hand, she wants to maintain her own business and personal neutrality and help those who seek knowledge. On the other hand, she must also take into account the general attitude of the Whisper Square towards humanity.

In this multi-racial society, hostility towards humanity is amplified, and humanism becomes a common sentiment.

She knew that any race that favored humans would encounter varying degrees of rejection and hostility here, which could not only endanger her own safety, but also affect her business and position in the square.

"Is my request embarrassing for you?" Moonlight's voice was cold and direct, interrupting Elodis' musings. Her words were succinct, but they directly touched on Elodis's inner hesitation and struggle.

Elodis felt a hint of pressure, and her heart tensed at the Bright Moon Rabbit's blunt question.

She looked at the Bright Moon Rabbit, her eyes faintly visible through the rabbit mask with indifference and coldness, which made Elodis feel a feeling that she couldn't easily ignore.

In the face of the Bright Moon Rabbit's inquiry, Elodis tried to keep a sneer on his face, trying to answer in a relaxed tone, "Guest, what am I valuing?" ”

Even though she said this, she was already thinking about whether she should just get rid of the uninvited visitor.

In the complex environment of the multi-ethnic coexistence of the Whisper Square, any careless action can lead to unpredictable consequences.

Elodis was born into a family of halflings with a deep interest in the stars.

From an early age, she was drawn to the stories and knowledge of celestial bodies and astrology in her family, an interest that grew stronger as she grew older.

Her curiosity drove her to delve into astrology, spending decades traveling the world to learn from astrologers of all races.

This process has not only enriched her knowledge base, but also honed her skills.

On her 70th birthday, Elodis decided to share her accumulated knowledge and passion with the wider world, and opened the Thousand Eyes Stargazing House in the Plaza de la Whisper.

This decision made her a respected astrologer in the square, but after all, her shop was self-run, and it was no match for the big powers with huge capital and talent, and she was able to open a shop on this street as an intelligence peddler, relying on absolute neutrality and her own cleverness.

Now, she felt that she should get rid of the uninvited guest in front of her—the other party might bring blood and light to the Whisper Square.

"Guest, or ......" Old Ellodis began to try to deal with the tricky request in vague terms, hoping to send the Bright Moon Rabbit away without hurting him. However, before she could finish her words, the Bright Moon Rabbit directly interrupted her words.

"500,000 Western dollars." The Bright Moon interrupted Elodis, "And I promise, as long as you don't tell the truth, no one will know that the information is coming from you." Moreover, if you or your store have something to do in the future, I will help you. ”

Ah......h

The number of 500,000 made the old woman's heart move fiercely.

An order of 500,000 yuan, she doesn't have to do this number for a year.

For aliens, if there is a 10% profit, they will ensure that it is used everywhere; With a 20% profit, they can be active; With 50% of the profits, they will take risks; For the sake of 100% profit, they dare to trample on all transcendent laws; With more than 300% of the profits, they dare to commit any crime, even to risk being dismembered by the angels of heaven.

Moreover, the promise made by the Bright Moon Rabbit is a strong guarantee for her, which means that this unusual guest can not only afford to pay the fee, but also help her or her shop in the future.

The scales in his heart tipped quickly, and Elodis quickly made a decision.

"Would you like to sign a non-disclosure agreement on a contract made of [golden bark], if you will, this is the case." There was no longer any hesitation in her tone, and her principles and scruples seemed to have been left behind.

"Of course." A bright smile appeared behind the Bright Moon Rabbit's mask, but unfortunately Elodis couldn't see it.

She didn't know what kind of flood beast she had brought into the Secret Whisper Square by her behavior of leading the way.

Moreover, didn't Elodis guess the forces behind the Bright Moon Rabbit?

Not necessarily, she just didn't care.

As long as she can earn money and take care of herself, she doesn't care about the flood after that!

***********

Honkai Authority Headquarters Helserem Tower.

In the Helserem Tower, the headquarters of the Honkai Authority, the night is like a veil of mystery, enveloping the tower of power and wisdom in a mixture of silence and darkness.

"Transfer 1 million to the bearer [debit card] account I just reported. Bill reimbursement, you say? No, you don't need to report to Heaven, just call me here, yes, just report my name to the bank in Addisi. Xia Xiu stood in the office, beside him was a floor-to-ceiling observation glass window, through which he could see the bright starry sky outside and the bustling city scene below.

He was on a silver cane and was communicating with the Authority's Finance Department through a virtual phone channel.

On the other end of the phone channel, the voice of the finance department responded respectfully and quickly:

"Yes, I'll do it now!"

Poof—

The disconnection of the telephone channel echoed in the quiet office, marking the official end of Xia Xiu's communication with the finance department.

Immediately, his attention turned back to the space in front of him, where virtual projection screens appeared, displaying the messages that the Bright Moon Rabbit had sent to him.

Against the backdrop of night, these light curtains seem to be stars suspended in the sky, and each screen carries important information from the Miyu Square.

Xia Xiu stood in front of these virtual screens, his blonde hair shining softly in the dim light of the office, his golden eyes reflecting the flow of information on the screen, his expression full of concentration.

——Secret Whisper Square——

Heartland - The Magic Fountain District

Located in the heart of the Square of Whispers, it is centred around an ancient magic fountain. The fountain is surrounded by beautifully paved magic stone slabs with glowing magical plants and flowers around the edges, providing natural light and color to the square.

North Wing - Business District

East Wing - Crafts and Magical Items Area

South Wing - Dining and Relaxation Area

West Wing - Knowledge and Magic Learning Area

Around the square - the Enchanted Botanical Garden

Other:

Whispering Alley: Stretching out from one corner of the plaza is an alley known as the "Whispering Alley", which is filled with stalls and secret spaces dedicated to exchanging secrets and gossip. Here, information becomes a currency that can be exchanged, bought and sold.

Guardians: The Whispering Square is protected by a mysterious group of Guardians who wear cloaks, have blurred faces, and do not easily converse with people. The Guardian is responsible for maintaining order in the square, protecting the fairness of transactions, and preventing outside threats from invading this mysterious space.

Trading Ceremony: On certain days, a grand trading ceremony is held in the square, where various rare items and information are exchanged for owners. During the ceremony, the magic fountain emits a brilliant light, heralding the beginning of the trade.

————————

"It's really prosperous."

At night, his standing figure looked particularly lonely and determined, his blonde hair flickering in the dim light, and his golden eyes reflected the information on the virtual screen in front of him.

With a soft murmur, he stretched out his right hand and spread his five fingers in a slow but meaningful motion.

At this moment, under the cover of night, he seemed to have the power of the sky, and he held the fate of the Secret Whisper Square in his hands.

Under the palm of his hand is a virtual map of the entire terrain of the Whisper Square, with clear details, every street and every shop at a glance, this map is a comprehensive grasp of the Whisper Square, and it is also a preparation for the upcoming operation.

Xia Xiu's five fingers slowly closed, and the detailed map seemed to encounter an invisible force, gradually falling into boundless darkness, and finally disappeared, as if it had been ruthlessly devoured.

Then, as the map vanished, all curtain projections were turned off, and the office returned to its previous tranquility and darkness, leaving the blonde youth standing there silently as if nothing had happened.
