Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

Central District 5, 4th floor of the ‘Shaking Ears’ bar.

In the afternoon, the air was a little quiet, and occasionally one could hear the clinking of glasses and music coming from downstairs. As a singer loved by thousands of orcs, Eluklu was lying on the sofa in a very unpresentable manner, with a discarded controller, unfinished snacks, etc. beside her.

Fortunately, there was no one else in the room at this time, and the nearest security personnel were also guarding outside the door, so there was no need to worry about being seen.

After sleeping for a long time, the cat ears on the sofa shook, and then Eluklu propped herself up, yawned, and then sat with her eyes half open and half closed.

"What time is it, ha~~" She yawned again.

"It's not even 3 o'clock in the afternoon."

After checking the time, she barely recovered some energy, then stood up and prepared to take a shower.

Half an hour later, Eluklu, who had just finished taking a shower, looked brand new. After changing into a comfortable and dry coat, she suddenly opened the door and walked out.

"Hello, boss~" The two tall orcs guarding on the side bowed their heads.

"Yeah, I need to eat something. I'll talk to the chef at the bar downstairs."

"By the way, the room is a bit messy. I'll have to trouble them to help clean it up."

"Okay."

After that, Eluklu slid down the handrail of the stairs and came to the third floor. There were many busy people gathered here. Some of them were communicating, and some were lying in the soundproof immersion cabin room on the other side.

"What's the situation?" Eluklu glanced back and forth, hoping to see something different.

"The progress is not ideal. Some clues that were found were cut off later." A young goat-horned orc wearing glasses and dressed as a technician stood up and answered.

"It seems that the other party really has some tricks. It's okay. You just keep looking. Anyway, they can't outlast me." Eluklu spoke confidently.

Just when others were about to agree and say something, the lights in the room flickered and suddenly went out, and the music in the bar downstairs stopped again.

"What happened?"

"Is there a power outage?"

"No, there can't be a power outage. Is there a short circuit?"

The room became a little messy. Many people were interrupted from their work and looked up to ask questions. Fortunately, it was afternoon and it was not completely dark. Not long after, someone came out to comfort and maintain order, and soon it stabilized again.

Ten minutes later, Elukelu sat in the cleaned room on the fourth floor to ask questions.

"What happened to the power outage just now? It's so embarrassing. I just finished speaking."

"I checked the hotel's power supply system and found that it was not an accident, but someone remotely controlled and turned off the switch."

"Ah? Could it be that they have already done this? Are they going to warn me?" Elukelu quickly understood.

"Can you fight back? This is too infuriating."

"Sorry, we can't do it because we don't even know where the other party is."

"What a loser." Elukelu complained, leaning on the sofa to think.

"Is there no other way to attack them?"

"It seems that there is no way at the moment." The technician in front of him answered honestly.

"Huh, so annoying." Eluklu slapped the sofa.

She initially wanted to use her reputation to intimidate this mysterious organization, and it would be best if she could use it for her own benefit, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult to deal with, and it was far from as simple as she thought at the beginning.

"Is it really necessary to report it to the Tribunal and let them handle it?"

"No, no, no, forget it, it's too embarrassing." Her thoughts were different from other singers, or as an orc, if she asked the Tribunal for help for such a thing, it would be very inconsistent with the values ​​of orcs. Even if she was a singer, doing such a thing would make people think she was cowardly.

"It would only be more embarrassing to go to the Tribunal. Wouldn't it be publicly said that I, Eluklu, was not good enough and could not handle an inexplicable organization, and then the news would report the cause and effect, and I had never even seen the other party, and I made enemies out of thin air, and I couldn't fight..." Eluklu thought to herself.

"This would only make me look stupid, it was completely manipulated by losing fans."

"But it's not okay to let them go like this, I have to vent my anger anyway." Eluklu thought about it.

"Let's have a good chat with the people from the Tribunal. Who is the person who is in contact with me?" Eluklu asked his men to contact him.

In the evening, Eluklu met the visiting patrol officer of the Tribunal on the third floor of the bar. She was a blond and cold woman wearing a dark blue uniform with a cobalt blue star tear badge on the side of her chest.

As members of the Tribunal, they usually don't appear in front of ordinary people in uniform unless it is necessary.

"Hello, Lord Eluklu." She used concise words and continued to stand upright after saying this.

"You are the patrol officer responsible for security work around me." Eluklu was quite curious.

"Do you know what I do normally?"

"Most of it is clear." She nodded slightly.

"Then do you also watch me take a bath?" Eluklu thought of this first.

"No, I don't usually." This person answered simply.

"Do you really watch it?" Eluklu was surprised.

"Yes, if the singer has an accident or is attacked while bathing, we will also be responsible. However, considering the singer's privacy, we generally do not spy on her, but only monitor her when there is something unusual."

"Let me think about it. If I am bathing in a closed basement bath, how can you see it?" Elklu thought for a while.

"We have thermal imaging equipment that can penetrate rocks and walls, as well as other life scanning devices." The other party replied.

"So this is what I saw. I thought it was a camera watching me take a shower." Elukelu was relieved.

"By the way, if I fight with someone, will you come out to help?"

"No, unless you are in danger of certain death." The patrol officer answered quickly.

"How do you know I will die?" Elukelu continued to ask.

"The opponent is much stronger than you, force majeure, sudden unexpected attack."

"So, I roughly understand. Your role is insurance, to prevent the worst situation from happening. As for some non-life-threatening things, you don't care."

"That's right. If you protect too much, it will not be a good thing. There are many lessons learned in the past."

"What happened at that time, can you tell me?" Elukelu was curious.

"This is confidential, I can't describe it in detail, I can only say that the singer's personality was affected by it and she didn't grow up properly."

"Before the Inquisition, I mean the singer more than 400 years ago, who protected her at that time?"

"At that time, the Federation also had a related singer security agency."

"Do you know about the organization I've been tracking recently?"

"Yes."

"To what extent do you know?"

"The other party's origin, scale, style of behavior, past activity records, etc."

"Then why don't you beat them?" Elklu suddenly became interested.

"This is not within my scope of responsibility, I have no right to ask." The blonde woman shook her head.

"You belong to?"

"I belong to the patrol officer of the Song Girl Supervision Office under the Inquisition, and the illegal network organization you mentioned is within the scope of responsibility of the investigator of the Network Supervision Office."

"How strong are you? Can you beat the two big guys around me?" Elklu saw that she seemed to be only Sequence 6.

"If it's just a fight, I can probably tie with the two of them, but if it's a life-and-death battle, I can finish them off in ten seconds." The other party answered briefly.

"So fast?"

"Yes." The other party didn't seem to want to explain the reason, but judging from the legends from various channels, the combat effectiveness of the Inquisition personnel is indeed generally much higher than that of the extraordinary people of the same sequence.

"If a sequence 7 extraordinary person comes to kill me, can you beat him?" It seems that Elklu's curiosity is completely aroused today.

"Sequence 7?" The other party looked at Elklu in surprise.

"If they are promoted to Sequence 7 by normal means, they are basically masters in their field. They have their own social status and will not do such things rashly. In addition, there are very few such masters, and they are basically registered, so it is easy to find them."

"If they are promoted to Sequence 7 by abnormal means, these extraordinary people seem to be very powerful, but in fact they have various shortcomings and weaknesses. Our Tribunal has been dealing with such people for many years and has extremely rich experience and means."

"In addition, even if they are Sequence 7, not everyone is good at fighting. Many of them are masters who focus on academics and research. If they really fight, they may not be able to defeat those full-time combatants."

"What if a master-level combatant of Sequence 7 really attacks?" Eluklu was indomitable.

"I will use the special props I have equipped to temporarily protect you, and then call for support. In a few minutes, a fully armed high-level mecha will arrive at the scene. Even a master figure of Sequence 7 will become vulnerable in front of the most advanced military elite mecha."

"But what if someone drives a powerful military mecha to trouble me?"

"Lord Eluklu is joking. Military mechas are strictly controlled. Even if something like that happens, we can call for more support, or even the fleet stationed in space to assist."

At this point, Eluklu was finally satisfied.

"By the way, why did I call you here?" She remembered the business at this time.

"Can't you really help me teach that mysterious organization a lesson?"

"I can write a report for you and send it to the Internet Supervision Office." The other party replied helplessly.

"That's fine. In addition, can you tell me the contact information of the person in charge of the Internet Supervision Office?"

"No."

"Huh?"

"This is the confidentiality clause within the Tribunal. I can't disclose information at will."

"Then how should I find him?"

"You can send an application to the Tribunal official, and the superiors will handle it."

"Is there any harm in this application?"

"No harm, it will just be recorded in the Tribunal summary statement at the end of the year, and this statement will be made public."

"Forget it, I'll think of other ways first."

After that, Eluklu asked some irrelevant questions, and then the time was up, and the patrol officer also said goodbye and left.

Back in the room, Eluklu ate the prepared lunch, slowly thinking about the patrol officer just now.

"In the end, she didn't even tell me her name, she was really cautious."

"But where do these people usually hide, I didn't even notice it."

"If we take a small spaceship to space, how can they be protected when we go." Eluklu is still thinking about the Tribunal personnel.

"Forget it, I can't figure it out for now. Anyway, they are usually transparent and can't be counted on for help."

In the next few days, Eluklu's men said that the online clues were broken. When Eluklu asked them to track it again, they didn't even know where to find the clues.

"How did they do it?" Elklu couldn't figure it out.

"Didn't you say before that even some gray-field platforms on the Internet were their subordinates? Check from this direction."

"No, now these gray platforms have disappeared."

"Ah this?" Elklu didn't expect the other party to really do this.

"Impossible, is it possible that they changed one?"

"This should be true. According to our acquaintances in the underworld, many online platforms with good reputations have suddenly disappeared recently, leaving only some small platforms with bad reputations and problems."

"Can they really do this?" Elklu walked back and forth in the room alone.

In the following weeks, Elklu kept asking people to continue to investigate, but in the end there was no result, so that the team members gave up mentally.

At this point, the cat-eared singer could only helplessly announce that the matter would end here.

The next day, Elklu invited Alanna to have dinner in the restaurant.

"Hello, Elklu."

It was not the first time they met, but Alanna was still cautious.

"Don't be so nervous and polite, eat first." Eluklu asked Alana to relax.

The restaurant they were in was on the third floor of the Critical, with a nice view.

"Come to think of it, we haven't communicated well before. How did Alana get in touch with that mysterious organization?"

"It wasn't us who took the initiative to contact them. It should be said that they suddenly came to us." Alana explained, and then roughly recounted the whole story.

After listening, Eluklu still didn't find anything special. She probably only knew that the new ability and technology that Alana mastered was what the other party valued.

"'Connector'..." Eluklu was not very interested in this technology.

"Although it looks great, it can only be regarded as a toy." She expressed her thoughts.

"If there are 10 of you, one of them has a special skill, and each of you has to call him out when you use it, then he will definitely not be able to do anything else, right."

"That's right." Alana thought about it.

"This means that both the person making the request and the person helping have taken up time, and only one person is working."

"Also, this connection is OK for a short time, but if it is maintained all day, it is hard to say whether there will be any serious mental problems."

"From the overall efficiency point of view, it is not high, and it even has negative effects."

"In other words, this ability cannot be used for major, long-term professional work, but can only be used as a supplement for certain low-frequency scenes."

"For example, if you are a person with little combat power and suddenly encounter danger on the street, you can use this to ask another combatant for help. For example, if you occasionally encounter difficult-to-understand problems, you need someone to help you think about the logical relationship and sort it out."

"Its use is more about supplementing the corners, saving time to learn some uncommon abilities, It cannot completely replace personal efforts. "

"In addition, as you described, because of the spiritual connection, you are easily influenced by your companions. This is a double-edged sword. It will make you have "friends" and will slowly devour your personality. "

"For me, what I like most is things like "personality", "novelty" and "difference". Although your invention is very "novel", if its result is to lead to monotonous mediocrity, I don't like it very much. "

Unlike Tilan, Eluklu is not very interested in topics such as society and the future of civilization. So in her opinion, the "connector" created by Alana is just a toy for a small number of people. In addition, as a cat-eared singer who likes herself, she doesn't want to share her experience and abilities with others so simply.

"I always feel that it's weird. It's obviously my song, but I let others sing it. I volunteered and I'm not happy at all. "

She is more repulsive to the "connector ring" mentioned by Alana.

"I am who I am. This is my unique style and self. I don't want to lend it to others for nothing and make them great. Even if I pay them, they have to put my name on it."

"If you really want to find another way, my personal suggestion is to give up building the so-called 'circle' and become a limited communication partner. At work, several people fit together into a team and temporarily share various information and capabilities. In this way, everyone can work. After the work is done, they can separate freely and no longer connect with each other to ensure their individual independence."

"Sharing all the time is really terrible."

"The little thoughts of the cat cannot be known to everyone, so that they can't be lazy or play pranks."
