Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 771 - 12: The Maid Corps of the True Red Royal Court_2
"Don't stay up too late,"
before sleep, Hexia still returned Geyin's identity card to her, simply reminding the silver-green-haired net-girl to be mindful of the time.
Having received her chip card back, while Geyin didn't speak, her mood seemed to fluctuate a bit. After returning to her bedroom, she swiftly re-entered the Aijeika network.
The familiar gate, upon being pushed open and passed through, brought Geyin to that ever-occupied conference room. At this time, the skeleton wearing the crown of wisdom still sat in its chair, as if it had never logged off. The puppet bear and the monkey with slender fingers she had seen before were not online at the moment, but there was another lady in the conference room, wearing a blue peacock feathered mask.
"You've returned, Silver-Green Creation." The lady's voice was unhurried, unchanging.
"Madam," the mechanical puppet that Geyin was playing bowed to her.
Although there weren't any strict ranks in the small organization, as a sponsor, the biggest contributor, and the provider of background support, this Blue Peacock Lady was undoubtedly different from the others.
With a simple raise of her hand, the lady with the blue peacock mask bid Geyin to sit and then began to discuss important matters.
"I've already tasked 'Puppet Bear' and 'Monkey' with tracing that organization in the Aijeika network space. I believe we'll have results very soon."
"As for the two of you, I have another matter I'd like to entrust you with."
"Please, Madam, go on," the old skeleton spoke.
"It's about the recent awakening of a few songstresses," said the masked lady.
"I need their data, as detailed and authentic as possible, including their various experiences, life snippets, firsthand memory evaluations, and not the information that has been repackaged by commercial interests or edited by the Court of Judgment."
"This will be difficult," the old skeleton murmured, rubbing its bones upon hearing this.
"The Court of Judgment..." He paused for a few seconds.
"They're very strict about this. If we act rashly with such information, we'll likely attract their attention."
"In fact, to prevent the leakage of songstresses' information, they even prohibit the federal authorities from monitoring the songstresses. Moreover, songstresses have immunity in many situations. They can't be questioned, recorded, or even impeded or detained in any way."
"I'm aware of all you've mentioned, Old Skeleton," the Blue Peacock masked lady said, her tone as steady as ever. She didn't seem to be discussing but rather informing the person in front of her that what she said was an order.
An invisible intimidation and pressure silenced the otherwise loquacious old skeleton in an instant.
"I'll look into it, but please give me some more time."
After the old skeleton responded, the lady turned her gaze to Geyin, who also bowed her head.
"I will assist Mr. Skeleton with this task."
"That will be all for now. I look forward to good news from you both," the lady said, and then logged off.
After the lady's departure, Geyin and the old skeleton were left in silence. Today, it seemed the latter didn't wish to talk much but after a lengthy silence, ased Geyin a few straightforward questions.
"Regarding the Sinesty formula for infiltrating networks that you taught me, I have learned it," Geyin replied.
"As for simulating consciousness as AI to process information, like you mentioned, that technique requires a Spirit Particle Sequence of at least Sequence 6. I still need time to advance."
"Not bad, but you're too unguarded," the old skeleton shook its head.
"You shouldn't have told me you haven't advanced to Spirit Particle Sequence 6 yet, which allows me to quickly determine your age and investigate your identity."
"Before you said that, I always thought you were one of those geeks deeply immersed in the Aijeika network, around Sequence 7, with a weak sense of reality. But your remark made me realize you might have just started at a top-tier academy. Given your skills, it's necessary to attend the leading institutions. Moreover, considering the way you speak and type usually, I just need to review a small sample to find your real-life identity."
"You need to learn how to disguise yourself, even deliberately revealing a carefully designed weakness to lead others in that direction while overlooking what you're actually hiding."
"This operation is extremely dangerous, one mishap and we could attract the attention of the Court of Judgment. I don't want to be implicated, and you'd best not leave any flaws either."
"Yes," Geyin reverted to her usual minimalist style of conversation.
In the following days, under Hexia's coordination and notice, the group of maids previously stationed in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain also set off for the Central Star Domain to serve as her support staff. Additionally, the first term courses at the Golden Flame Flower Academy gradually began. This stage of courses was mostly free, not requiring points, and all were taught by masters of various crafts with high proficiency.
Just like the other students, Hexia didn't put on airs, attending classes normally. She would find a place for a nap at noon, in the afternoon she'd practice abilities related to her songstress profession, occasionally have dinner with acquaintances, and then sleep and rest at night.
