"It's hard enough to get together, let's not talk about these things, let's not talk about these things..."
Seeing the mood turn a bit sad, Ku Gen put away Red's report and immediately changed the subject.
"I've already arranged to acquire the things you need; they should be gathered by late this afternoon. Won't you stay for a couple more days?"
Red looked at Kanna, and remembering the time Outcast had mentioned, he shook his head. "We'll rest one night tonight and depart tomorrow morning. Otherwise, if we delay, we won't be able to reach Hillock County with Outcast."
"Speaking of which, Captain Ku Gen, do you have any information on Dublinn / Deepsea?"
"Dublinn / Deepsea?"
Ku Gen recalled for a moment after hearing Kanna's words, then shook his head.
"I only know that Dublinn / Deepsea is a reactionary organization operating in some parts of Victoria, under the banner of 'Draco.' However, wasn't the Draco bloodline officially declared extinct over twenty years ago? So, it's probably just another tool for some ambitious individuals trying to profit from it."
From his words, it was clear that even an experienced intelligence operative from Rhodes Island within Victoria was completely clueless when faced with organizations that deliberately concealed their true strength.
Furthermore, many armed organizations outside Victoria's cities were actually thugs kept by certain nobles within the city, so they naturally conflated the discreet "Dublinn / Deepsea" with those ordinary thug organizations.
Kanna shook her head slightly. "Since there's no information, then forget it. I only heard that they are very active in the Hillock County area. It's inevitable that we'll run into this organization on our trip, so I wanted to understand them beforehand."
"Since your trip to Hillock County this time carries some danger, why don't you take Red with you? His strength is considerable, and you happen to know each other." Although he couldn't help Kanna and her group with intelligence, Ku Gen sensitively picked up on the danger of this trip to Hillock County from their conversation, so he suggested they take Red, who had considerable direct combat power.
Kanna waved her hand. Red was a crucial part of Carlaton City. Without his help, Pink Kitty and Yeyen would be in mortal danger.
"There's no need for that. The strength of us few is already enough to handle the upcoming situation. Although Carlaton City looks prosperous, behind the prosperity there are bound to be darkness and conspiracies. This is when Brother Red is needed even more to hold the fort."
The few quickly returned to the office. While the others were dealing with matters, Kanna went out and bought a few small sachets, then came back in. To Nian's puzzled look, she took out the contents of the sachets, then picked up a pen and paper, wrote a few sentences, and carefully sealed them back into the sachets.
Looking at the pouch in front of her, Kanna's small face was filled with satisfaction.
What could be more enjoyable than knowing the plot in advance and then using a pouch to guide key figures to be a behind-the-scenes "master"?
"What are you doing now?" Nian had seen what was written on them, but the words were all cut off at the beginning and end, making her even more confused after reading them.
"A mission to save innocent kitties when the world line undergoes slight changes!" Kanna commented on the pouch in front of her.
Nian held her fist up to Kanna's eyes.
"See this? A fist the size of a sandbag."
Then she pointed to her biceps. "With this punch, I have at least a hundred years of cultivation. Believe it or not, you'll cry for a long time..."
"Oh dear! This kind of thing can't be said; if you say it, it won't work. But you can ask the person involved when the time comes. Look, the person involved is here."
Kanna hurriedly pasted information about several key time points on the outside of the pouch and then stopped Red, who was entering the door.
"Hmm? Kanna, do you need my help with something?" Red, who was suddenly stopped by Kanna, politely squatted down and looked at Kanna with a sincere expression.
"Brother Red won't be leaving the city for a while, right?" Kanna decided to ask first. If Red was going to leave the city, she would have to give this task to Ku Gen.
"Captain Ku Gen gave me half a month's vacation. During this time, I should be wandering around the city and then finding a less conspicuous job. That way, I can better integrate into this city and get more information."
Red shook his head, indicating that he wouldn't be going out recently. Instead, he would even look for a part-time job in the city to better disguise his identity.
"That's good. Here are three brocade pouches for you to keep. When you encounter something related to the mark on these pouches, open the pouch and follow the instructions inside. No problem, right?"
Red took the brocade pouches with a curious expression and found that they read: "Open this pouch if the cat's home is gone," "Open this pouch if a cat is seriously injured," and "Open this pouch if a cat goes to receive an award."
The conditions for opening the three brocade pouches were quite strange. Even he, with all his experience, couldn't quite understand Kanna's meaning for a moment.
"Oh, don't worry. You'll encounter the relevant situations. When that happens, just remember to do exactly as it says inside."
Kanna had an air of having everything under control, as if she was about to cosplay Zhuge Liang with a feather fan and silk scarf.
Red nodded solemnly, then carefully placed the brocade pouches into his chest pocket. "No problem. If I encounter the relevant situations, I'll do as the contents say."
"Oh, and after everything is over, send me an account of what happened during this time. Otherwise, this one will probably strangle me..." Kanna pointed to the equally bewildered Nian beside her and said sincerely to Red.
"Uh... alright. After all three brocade pouches are used up, I'll write a brief report of what happened afterward and send it to you via the Rhodes Island landship." Red readily agreed to Kanna's small request.
"Kanna! We've made contact with Outcast. Do you have anything to say?" Misery asked from not too far away.
Hearing his words, Kanna's eyes lit up, and she ran to the communicator in three strides.
"Grandma!"
"Oh! Isn't this little Kanna? Weren't you doing disaster relief in Leithanien? Why did you think of coming to Victoria?" Outcast's voice sounded very happy; it seemed receiving news from Kanna also made her happy.
"The disaster relief in Leithanien is over! Sister Folinic and Sister Anto have taken the team back to Rhodes Island. I came to Victoria with Big Brother Misery to visit you!" Kanna couldn't tell her that she was worried about her safety in Hillock County, which was why she specifically rushed over. This was to prevent her from sacrificing herself to fulfill her inner vow.
She was afraid that if that happened, she wouldn't be able to resist directly inflicting destructive damage on Victoria.
