Chapter 489 Target Locking
Chapter 489 Target Locking
Ok, I sprayed a little too fast...
After listening to the female reporter's explanation, Leon couldn't help scratching the back of his head in embarrassment. Then, under the guidance of the flight attendant, he sat down next to the window of the airship and continued to ask:
"That means, as long as we find the scientific research area and administrative area numbered 001, we can find the royal family and Atifi 01?"
"Theoretically yes."
The female reporter nodded upon hearing this, and then reminded helplessly:
"But if we want to know the exact locations of those two places, we need to ask for directions on the wayfinder first. Let's not talk about whether we can get in. Just pressing the number of area 001 on the wayfinder will attract the attention of Atifi 01."
Indeed, this is indeed a troublesome matter...
After hearing the female reporter's reminder, Leon thought for a moment, then said:
“It’s easy to talk to the palace. I’m a prince, and according to the unspoken rules of international communication, the Kingdom of Korok must also send out royal family members to receive me.
At that time, I can record the other party's soul fluctuations, and then follow his soul to find the location of Administrative District 001 where the palace is located, but the scientific research area is a bit troublesome... Do you know anyone who can enter and exit Scientific Research District 001?"
"do not know."
The female reporter shook her head and said with a slightly apologetic look:
"Most of the important neighborhoods in the Kingdom of Korok are closed to each other. Unless there are any unusual circumstances, I usually only stay in my own residential area, the administrative area of the Twin Branch, and several living areas. I have basically never come into contact with people in the scientific research area... Um... Wait a minute!"
When she said this, she seemed to remember something. After frowning and recalling it, she said with a slightly excited look:
"I remember now! Living Area 039 is a green park. I've been there before and dealt with an incident involving suspected anomalies. I met a very powerful scholar there. He might be qualified to enter Research Area 001!"
Are there scholars who are eligible to enter Research Area 001?
After hearing what the female reporter said, Leon immediately became interested and asked curiously:
"Where does that man live? How can we find him?"
"Well, I don't know where he lives, and I'm not sure how to find him..."
"What about the name? What's the man's name?"
"Um...it's been several years. I've forgotten his name, or maybe I didn't ask him back then..."
"..."
No... So you don't know anything except that he is a scientist and may be qualified to enter Area 001? Then what are you talking about?
"I'm not familiar with him. I just happened to meet him once. I really can't remember the details."
Seeing Leon in front of her speechless and obviously full of complaints, the female reporter blushed slightly and quickly said:
"But I still remember his research results. Maybe we can use this to find him!"
"Research results?"
"Ok!"
After trying hard to recall the situation at that time, the female reporter said uncertainly:
"I remember it was in the summer or autumn, the bureau received a report at night that strange noises could be heard in various places in the park of the No. 039 living area.
According to the person who reported the case, although there was no one around, he could always hear a man's voice in the bushes, public toilets, and trees, constantly asking if anyone could hear him.
I happened to be the person on duty at the bureau that week, so I took my things and went there. I squatted on a tree next to the public toilet for a night, waiting for a man who was dressed a little shabbily. "
"Is he the scholar?"
"No, he is a homeless man hired by the scholar."
The female reporter shook her head and said:
“The homeless man said that someone gave him some money and a map and asked him to wait in several places, such as in the water, on a tree, in the grass, and in a public toilet, to see if he could hear any sound.
Then I took the homeless man and followed the map all the way back. We found a man with a strange iron rod on a tree next to the park gate. When I found him, he refused to come down from the tree, saying that if he came down, there would be no signal. "
No signal?
When Leon heard this, he suddenly realized it and asked with a bit of amusement:
"Is his research result a device that allows people to talk over long distances?" "Huh? How do you know?"
The female reporter was greatly surprised and asked incredulously:
"Do you know him, too? Or have you ever seen anything like it?"
“I’ve seen something similar.”
After answering vaguely, Leon pondered for a moment and said:
"I can roughly guess what he is researching. If he can really come up with something, he will definitely have a place in Research Area 001.
But since he is most likely a scholar from Research Area 001, if we rashly go to look for him and keep an eye on him, won't it attract the attention of Atifi 01?"
"Of course not."
The female reporter blinked when she heard this, and asked back in confusion:
"Aren't you a prince? Can't you just ask someone to change the mission's goal? Anyway, you have the final say in the mission. Just tell the receptionist in the Kingdom of Korok that the kingdom is planning to purchase a similar set of things.
After getting the sample and trying it, he can express his satisfaction and then ask to meet the scholar who developed this technology. Isn't that the end of the matter?"
"..."
Yes! You can also use your own identity as a prince + ambassador!
After being pointed out by the female reporter, Leon immediately realized that he didn't necessarily have to rely on "abnormality" to solve the problem. His official status as a prince was often enough to solve the problem, and it was even more convenient.
Alas... Even if no one reminded me, I should have thought of this method. I can only say that I always act recklessly when I am indecisive recently. I am used to solving problems by "muscles", but as the saying goes, "use it or lose it", my brain has become a little useless.
"You're right."
After secretly reminding himself to use his brain more and not become a pure muscle-bound brute, Leon wrote down the matter of purchasing the "phone" and then praised it with some admiration:
"It's true that even a fool can make many mistakes, but he will eventually get something right. I didn't expect your brain to be so smart. I underestimated you before."
"..."
Although I was praised sincerely, for some reason, I felt like I was being severely humiliated.
After pondering the meaning of Lyon's words, the female reporter couldn't help but look up and glare back.
"What do you mean by 'unexpectedly' my brain actually works well? Have I always been a fool in your mind?"
"Forehead……"
It's not that you are stupid. It's not your fault that you were fooled by an old man like Aquarius Director. But looking at your past performance, you are not very smart.
You bastard!
After getting the direct answer to the question from Leon's hesitant expression, the female reporter felt a little upset.
However, just as she wanted to continue arguing with Leon and get a fair evaluation of her IQ, a loud bang suddenly came from the cabin.
I saw a masked man holding a crude homemade nail gun. He shot the shield above the crowd and shattered it. Then he roared loudly with fierce eyes:
"Don't move! We are in charge of this airship now!"
"..."
What?
Hearing this fairly standard statement, Leon's mind was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at the female reporter with a confused look on his face.
No... Although my luck is really bad, how come we encountered hijackers not long after taking off? And it would be fine if these guys hijacked the plane, but they even hijacked the Kingdom's visiting delegation? Is this really outrageous, brother?
