The image of that person surfaced in her mind, and the pink-haired girl smiled in thanks, then pondered:
“As for the destination — I’m afraid I’ll need to find Vill-V first.”
After all… the place she was going to was Vill-V’s hotown.
Soon, after ending communication with Dr. I, Jiang Qiao connected to Vill-V’s communication.
It was clear she had been very busy recently; you could even see the prominent eye bags and dark circles.
“I’m planning to make a trip to Twilight Street.”
The girl’s concise and direct words made Vill-V, who had been sowhat confused about why she was being contacted, understand imdiately.
She furrowed her brow, and her rarely-appearing true self — the Deceiver personality — directly surfaced.
“Why would you want to go there?”
Neither Dr. I nor Mobius would probably have any impression of the place na Jiang Qiao ntioned — after all, it was completely not a place worthy of such geniuses’ attention.
But coincidentally, Vill-V was born there.
“You should have heard about the Herrscher of Domination from Mobius. I plan to go to Twilight Street to find soone who can help us.”
Hearing this, Vill-V was sowhat stunned.
With her intelligence, although she hadn’t participated in the conversation with Dr. I, after learning about the Herrscher of Domination’s abilities, she had already guessed that security issues would beco a huge hidden danger in the future.
She could understand 【Elysia】’s desire to seek solutions.
But…
You want to go to Twilight Street to find talent to solve security problems?
Even with Vill-V’s temperant, she was amused by Jiang Qiao’s statent and said with a mix of laughter and exasperation:
“You might not know the situation there. Let explain it to you first — Twilight Street is arguably the worst, most disorderly place in the entire world.”
Trying to find talent in Twilight Street to solve security problems was no different from looking for gold in a trash can.
But to this, the pink-haired girl just smiled and said nonchalantly:
“Although the environnt there is very poor, didn’t it also give birth to a world-renowned genius? Vill-V~”
— This was indeed a fact that Vill-V couldn’t deny.
No matter how much she thought that hotown was terrible, she was undoubtedly a child who grew up in Twilight Street.
“Alright, that’s true.”
“So, you plan to learn about Twilight Street’s situation from ?”
“Mm.”
“Then I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. I left Twilight Street several years ago… Although I still rember the past, I don’t know what it’s beco now.” Vill-V shook her head, a hint of nostalgia appearing in her eyes:
“But it doesn’t matter. That place probably wouldn’t change much no matter how many years pass.”
“I’ll tell you what I know.”
…
Narrow, dilapidated buildings full of age, garbage and excrent visible everywhere, the air occasionally filled with disgusting odors that made people nauseous — everything was so repulsive.
“So this is Twilight Street.”
The simply dressed yet radiantly beautiful pink-haired girl, who seed completely out of place with this land, surveyed the surrounding environnt and raised an eyebrow slightly: “Although I knew about the situation here through various ans, I didn’t expect it to be this terrible.”
— It was just like a dieval European slum.
The only difference might be that it was slightly more modernized? For example, the ssy utility poles and small advertisents plastered all over the walls.
She could feel malicious gazes coming from all directions, those were the residents living on this land.
But when Jiang Qiao’s gaze turned toward them, those malicious looks disappeared in an extrely short ti.
She recalled Vill-V’s words in her mind — Twilight Street residents were extrely xenophobic, especially toward people from big cities.
The extrely harsh environnt had shaped Twilight Street residents’ characteristic of hating outsiders. At the sa ti, just trying to survive on this land inevitably ant encountering various deceptions and betrayals — kind people could hardly survive here.
From this perspective, whether they hated outsiders seed aningless, since Twilight Street residents were completely indiscriminate.
Whether you were from outside or local, if they caught an opportunity, even your bones would be devoured completely.
Their treatnt of cute foreign girls like 【Elysia】 was unabashedly ill-intentioned.
Fortunately, she had asked Vill-V in advance. While learning about Twilight Street’s location, Vill-V had also told her about so people she could seek help from.
After all, she was soone who had grown up here from childhood. The Magician still had so connections.
Jiang Qiao looked at the map Vill-V had given her — just as she had said, even after several years, this place hadn’t changed much.
Compared to buildings, the turnover of people might be even faster.
“Bump~”
An oncoming short figure in a cloak bumped into her.
“So… so… sorry!”
A sowhat low girl’s voice filled with panic. After hastily apologizing, she hurried away.
Jiang Qiao didn’t mind much and just focused on looking at the map, planning to find the old acquaintances Vill-V had introduced to learn about her target for this operation.
Twilight Street was quite large. Although it was called a street, it was actually almost the size of a small town.
The intricate routes and terrible urban planning made it easy for outsiders to get lost.
Although she could ask those residents, after thinking about Sakura’s experience when she ca to this place in the Elysian records, Jiang Qiao, who didn’t want to use violence with this body, chose a more rciful approach.
Besides, this was quite interesting, like an RPG ga.
Having rarely opened an unfamiliar map, wouldn’t it be a waste not to explore a bit?
Despite the very poor environnt, Jiang Qiao was quite interested in this place.
After all, this place had produced four Fla-Chasers. Speaking of which, it was truly a feng shui treasure land comparable to the Far East.
Although one of them didn’t strictly belong here, even excluding the hot-tempered one, this place had still produced three.
Pardofelis was fine, but Aponia with her innate prophetic abilities and Vill-V… one could only say Twilight Street was truly blessed with outstanding people.
While feeling emotional internally, Jiang Qiao followed the map Vill-V had given her and ca to a hardware store in a corner of Twilight Street.
“You’ve arrived.”
