Chapter 1170: Chase (Meow rolls while riding a bicycle)
At the DA headquarters, there is a supercomputer that collects intelligence from the entire country, including but not limited to surveillance cameras, mobile phone communications, text messages and even chat content on the Internet.
If it is known to the public, it will definitely be denounced as a privacy violation.
However, privacy is originally a kind of self-psychological comfort. At what level does personal privacy mean privacy vary from person to person. As a judge, Duanmu Huai naturally would not object to this.
After starting this survey, the search content naturally included witches and magical girls as keywords.
To be honest, this naturally increases the workload of supercomputers. After all, words like witches or magic girls can be used in many places, including animations, comics, novels, games, etc. It is a big deal to extract valuable clues from them.
But now it seems that even if you look for a needle in a haystack, you can find valuable clues.
Or, there is another reason.
The reason why DA reported this information is that after screening the supercomputer, it was found that in recent period, the number of keywords has increased by an extraordinary frequency.
There is only one sentence in its core content.
[As long as you go to Shenbin City, the magic girl will be saved]
"This is what I have collected from online communications during this period."
The DA employee pointed to the computer screen in front of him and spoke to Duanmu Huai and others.
"Most of the sending sources are mobile text messages, and there are also online chats."
“Is there any cause or consequence?”
"No, in my opinion, this is more like some kind of code. Most senders will write in the text message that they have a dream, and then a girl in the dream told her that as long as she goes to Shenbin City, the magic girl will be saved..."
“It feels like the code words used by gangsters to trade.”
Qianshu also looked at the content displayed on the screen curiously. As Liquelis, they often encounter similar situations. For example, when gangs trade contraband, they will use codes like "The pigeon has arrived at the dock" or "Don''t forget to bring candy boxes" such as codes that people who read candy boxes know about them to avoid eavesdropping.
"But the gangster who uses magic girls as code words seems quite cute."
"If there is such a gangster, I really want to meet you."
Xitong Ayano complained silently, while Duanmu Huai touched her chin and thought for a moment.
"The magical girl will be redeemed... What does this mean? Judging from the content of these text messages, it seems that no one has ever asked this question, which means that they all know the answer?"
"If the magical girl signed a contract with the demon, then they must have lost something."
At this time, Mu Geng also spoke.
"For me, the so-called redemption should mean that you can get back what you lost."
"Can such a thing be done?"
"It is possible in theory, but not everyone can do it, let alone helping others get rid of the demon contract, which is basically impossible. In order to avoid such a thing, every demon will carefully consider the content of the contract to prevent the act of breaking the contract."
"Is there any information in Shenbin City?"
Duanmuhuai stared at the screen and asked, "Look, this is the benefit of cooperating with local snakes." The magic girl is indeed a very mysterious existence, but it would be too exaggerated to say that you can''t find them at all. But I have never looked for it seriously. Once I get serious, the power of state organs is not comparable to that of a magical girl who plays a child''s wine.
“This is strange.”
DA staff swiped the mouse and opened the map.
"Only in Shenbin City, there is basically no similar news."
From the map, we can see that after searching with the keywords "magic girl" and "redemption" as the keywords, similar information was everywhere in almost the entire country, but the target location of Kamihama itself almost showed no signs of this information.
Well, this is where there is no silver here.
"Some clues should be found from the use of monthly tickets and train tickets."
"Yes, in recent months, the number of students taking trams to Shenbin City is three times the average. Most of them are junior high or high school students, and some elementary school students are also."
"This is really..."
Hearing the DA staff''s answer, Qianshu''s expression suddenly became gloomy, and Ayano Yukiki frowned even more.
"Can they want to hold some evil sacrifice ceremony in Shenbin City."
Demon, contract, girl, redemption.
These words look like a good thing no matter how you look at it.
"After that being said, so many students are missing, has the parents not called the police?"
"From the alarm records in various places, the number of cases reported missing remains at an average value, and there is no sign of sudden increase." "So the best way is to catch a magic girl directly and interrogate her."
Duanmu Huai made a decisive decision. It was useless for him to wait for others to touch the elephant in a blind place. Only the magic girl himself knew about the magic girl. Since that''s the case, I''d just catch the magic girl and send it to eat pork chop rice. I don''t believe how long this group of little kids who don''t have all their hair can last.
"After that being said, how do we catch the magic girl?"
Everyone present had no objection to the proposal to capture the magic girl. Qianshu even showed a eager expression - well, they all worked in a violent agency.
Except for Mu Geng, she obviously had no say. At this moment, she just squatted in the corner and stared at Duanmu Huai with her godless eyes.
"Of course it''s fishing."
“Fishing?”
"Yes, don''t the magic girl hunt witches? Then we will stare at the currently locked witches'' haunting area. As long as someone similar to the magic girl appears, we will immediately dispatch it and capture it."
Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai clenched his small fist and smashed his hand hard.
"At that time, you can interrogate her."
In this way, the plan to arrest the magical girl was launched. Although some people suggested that it would be more convenient to use surveillance cameras to track girls who went to Kamihama City and then track their destinations, in fact, this is not the case. Although it can be seen from the surveillance camera that many girls wearing school uniforms from other places have indeed come to Shenbin City by tram, they quickly lost their traces after they entered Shenbin City.
Considering that the other party is a magic girl or a demon possessor, it is not surprising.
Just like the eye monster killed by Duanmu Huai and others before, it can freely shuttle through the walls. It is not a difficult thing for the demon possessor. Maybe the magic girl can do similar things.
So in the end, everyone adopted Duanmu Huai’s proposal.
In this way, a mysterious big net, without the knowledge of the magic girls, opened to the entire city without knowing it, and spread to every corner of the city.
However, the magic girls knew nothing about all this.
Night falls.
At the top of a tall tower, a girl was standing there staring at the street below. She was wearing a peculiar outfit, with her circle-like curly hair falling from both sides. Under the dim night, the girl''s golden hair also looked dull. If Duanmu Huai is here, then you can recognize that the blonde girl in front of you was the one she had seen before after destroying the witch in the alley.
"Yo, Asami."
At this moment, a white, long-eared quirky animal appeared from the blond girl''s shoulders.
"Are you ready to do it?"
“Of course, QB.”
Hearing QB''s inquiry, the blonde girl named Asami nodded.
"It seems that no one is coming to make trouble today, so I plan to destroy the witch here."
Speaking of this, Asami paused for a moment and stared at QB.
"By the way, do you know who they are? In my opinion, they don''t seem to be magical girls."
As she said, Asami recalled her last action, and at that time she also wanted to enter the barrier of the witch to destroy the witch. But to Mami''s surprise, a group of unknown people quickly blocked the entire alley before they took action, and then they saw two girls entering the witch barrier - although they didn''t know what they used, judging from the fact that the witch barrier was lifted in the end, it was obvious that they had defeated the witch.
But…Mami always felt that the two of them didn’t look like magic girls. After all, magic girls generally do not send staff to block the streets, and after that, they send ambulances to transport all the victims away, so they can clearly feel their organization...
But then again, Asami was somewhat unhappy about this.
After all, this area is a territory for one''s own hunting. According to the rules between magic girls, you cannot compete with each other''s territory for other magic girls. The other party not only robbed the territory, but also made great efforts to rob it with a large number of people... This made Asami very unhappy.
There will be no such magical girl, right?
"They are indeed not magic girls."
However, QB''s answer was beyond Asami''s expectations.
"Isn''t it? But since they are not magic girls, why can they destroy the witch?"
"I don''t know much about this, but I''m sure those people are not our friends."
QB shook his tail and said, then lowered his head again.
"Okay, Asami, it''s time to act."
“You are right.”
Hearing QB''s answer, Asami calmed down, then she jumped, jumped off the high radio tower, and then disappeared into the dark shadow of the construction site below.
This scene was completely recorded by the camera next to it.
