Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva!.

Chapter 516: Questions and Answers from the Cat-Eared Songstress
Center Area 5, th floor of 'Shaking Ears' bar.

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

Fortunately, there was no one else in the room at the moment, and the nearest security guard was guarding outside the door, so there was no need to worry about being seen.

After sleeping for a long time, the pair of cat ears on the sofa shook, then Elklu propped himself up, yawned, and then sat with his eyes half open and half closed.

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

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

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

Half an hour later, after taking a shower, Elklu looked refreshed. 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 get something to eat. Let me talk to the chef at the bar downstairs."

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

"Ok."

Afterwards, Elklu slid down lightly on the handrail of the stairs and came to the third floor, where many busy people gathered. Some of them were communicating, while others were lying in the soundproof immersion cabin room on the other side.

"What's the situation?" Eluklu looked around, hoping to see something different.

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

"It seems that the other party does have some tricks up their sleeves. It's okay, just keep looking. They can't outlast me anyway." Eluklu said confidently.

Just as others were about to agree and express their ideas, the lights in the room flickered and suddenly went out, and the music from the bar downstairs also stopped abruptly again.

"what happened?"

"Is there a power outage?"

"That's not right. There can't be a power outage. Is there a short circuit?"

The room became a little messy, and many people were interrupted from their work and looked up to ask questions. Fortunately, it was afternoon and not completely dark, and it wasn't long before someone came out to calm people down and maintain order, and things soon stabilized.

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

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

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

"Ah? Could it be that they have already achieved this? Are they planning to warn me?" Elklu quickly understood.

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

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

"What a loser." Elklu complained, now leaning back on the sofa thinking.

"Is there no other way to attack them?"

"It seems not at the moment." The technician in front of him answered honestly.

"Phew, this is so infuriating." Eluklu slapped the sofa.

She initially wanted to use her fame to intimidate this mysterious organization, and preferably recruit them for her own use, 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 true that we can only report this to the Inquisition and let them handle it?"

"No, no, no, forget it. It's too embarrassing." Her thoughts were different from other singers. In other words, as an orc, asking the Inquisition for help for such a thing was very inconsistent with the orcs' values. Even if she was a singer, if she did such a thing, she would be considered a coward.

"Going to the Tribunal will only bring more shame. Wouldn't it be publicly announced that I, Elklu, am incompetent and cannot deal with a strange organization? Then the news will report the whole story. I have never even met the other party, and I have made enemies out of thin air, and I cannot even defeat them..." Elklu thought to himself.

"This will only make me look stupid. It's totally manipulation to lose fans."

"But we can't just let them go like this. I have to vent my anger somehow." Eluklu thought for a moment.

"Let's have a good chat with the people from the Inquisition. By the way, who is the person who is in contact with me?" Eluklu asked his men to contact them.

In the evening, Eluklu met the visiting patrol officer of the Inquisition on the third floor of the bar. She was a cold and beautiful woman with blonde hair. She wore a dark blue uniform with a cobalt blue Star Tears badge on the side of her chest.

As members of the Inquisition, they generally do not appear in front of ordinary people in uniform unless it is necessary.

"Hello, Lord Elklu." She used simple words, and after saying this, she continued to stand upright.

"You are the patrol officer who is responsible for protecting me." Eluklu was quite curious.

"Do you know what I usually do?"

"Mostly clear." She nodded slightly.

"Then do you want to watch me take a bath?" This was the first thing that came to Elklu's mind.

"I usually don't watch it." The man answered simply.

"Can you really watch it?" Elklu was surprised.

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

"Let me think about it. If I were taking a bath in a closed basement bathhouse, how would you see me?" Eluklu thought for a moment.

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

"So that's how it was seen. I thought it was a camera watching me taking a shower." Eluklu felt relieved.

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

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

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

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

"I think I understand. Your role is to provide insurance, to prevent the worst possible situation from happening. As for things that are not life-threatening, you are not responsible for them."

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

"Can you tell me what happened at that time?" Elukelu was curious.

"This is confidential, so I cannot describe it in detail. I can only say that the singer's personality was affected by this and she was unable to grow up healthily."

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

"At that time, the federal government also had a related Diva security agency."

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

"learn."

"To what extent?"

"The other party's background, size, style of doing things, past activity records, etc."

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

"This is not within my area of ​​responsibility. I have no right to interfere." The blonde woman shook her head.

"Do you belong?"

"I am a patrol officer of the Diva Supervisory Office under the Inquisition, and the illegal online organizations you mentioned are within the scope of responsibility of the investigators of the Internet Supervisory Office."

"How strong are you? Can you defeat the two big guys next to me?" Eluklu saw that she seemed to be only Sequence 6.

"If it's just a fight, I can probably tie with both of them, but if it's a life-and-death fight, I can finish them off in ten seconds." The other party replied briefly. "So fast?"

"Yes." The other party did not 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 transcendent comes to hunt me, can you defeat him?" It seems that Eluklu's curiosity has been completely aroused today.

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

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

"If they were promoted to Sequence 7 through unnatural means or trickery, these extraordinary people may seem very powerful, but in fact they have various shortcomings and weaknesses. Our Inquisition has been dealing with this type of people for many years and has extremely rich experience and methods."

"Also, even among Sequence 7, not every one of them 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 professional combatants."

“What if a Sequence 7 master-level fighter really attacks?” Elklu was unyielding.

"I will use the special props I have to temporarily protect you, and then call for backup. 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 comes to trouble me in a powerful military mecha?"

"Lord Elklu, you are 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 help."

After asking this, Elklu was finally satisfied.

"By the way, why did I call you here?" She then remembered the important matter.

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

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

"That's fine too. Also, can you tell me the contact information of the person in charge of the Cyber ​​Supervision Office?"

"No."

"Hey?"

"This is a confidentiality clause within the trial court. I cannot disclose the information at will."

"Then how should I find him?"

"You can send an application to the court officials, and then the superiors will handle it."

“Is there any harm in applying like this?”

"There is no harm, it will just be recorded in the trial court's summary statement at the end of the year, which is released to the public."

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

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

Back in the room, Elklu 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 notice it."

"If we take a small spaceship to space, how can we protect them?" Eluklu was still thinking about the Inquisition members.

"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 following days, Eluklu's men said one after another that the clues on the Internet had been broken. When Eluklu asked them to track it down 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 area platforms on the Internet are their subordinates? Let's investigate from this direction."

"No, now these gray platforms have also disappeared."

"Ah, this?" Elklu didn't expect that the other party could really do this.

"That's 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 a few small platforms with bad reputations and problems."

"Can we really do this?" Elklu was pacing back and forth in the room alone.

In the following weeks, Elklu continued to have people track down the case, but in the end there was no result, so much so that all the team members gave up mentally.

At this point, the cat-eared singer could only reluctantly announce that the matter was over.

The next day, Eluklu and Alana had dinner in the restaurant.

"Hello, Master Elklu."

This wasn't the first time they had met, but Alana 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 and had a nice view.

"Come to think of it, we haven't had a good conversation 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 came to us out of the blue." Alana explained, and then recounted what happened in general.

After listening to it, Elklu still didn't find anything special. He probably only knew that Alana's new ability and technology were what the other party valued.

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

"Although it looks great, it can probably just be considered a toy," she shared her thoughts.

"If you have 10 people, and one of them has a special skill, and each of you needs to call him out when you need 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 are taking up their time, and only one person is actually doing the work."

"Also, this connection is fine for a short period of time, but if it is maintained all day long, it is hard to say whether it will cause any serious mental problems."

"From the perspective of overall efficiency, it is not high and may even have negative effects."

"That is to say, this ability cannot be used for main, long-term professional work, but can only be used as a supplement for certain scenes with very low frequency."

"For example, if you are a person with little fighting ability and suddenly encounter danger on the street, you can ask another fighter for help. Or if you occasionally encounter a problem that is difficult to understand and need someone to help you think about the logical relationship and so on."

"Its usefulness lies more in supplementing the corners and saving time in learning some uncommon skills, but it cannot completely replace personal efforts."

"Also, as you described, because of the mental connection, you are easily influenced by your companions. This is a double-edged sword. It allows you to have 'friends', but it can also slowly eat away at your personality."

"As for me, I like things like 'personality', 'novelty', and 'difference' the most. Even though your invention is very 'novel', if the result is a path to monotonous mediocrity, I won't like it very much."

Unlike Tilan, Elklu 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 few people. In addition, as a cat-eared singer who likes herself, she doesn't want to share her experiences and abilities with others so easily.

"I always felt that it was very strange. It was clearly my song, but someone else sang it. And I volunteered to do it. I was not happy at all."

She was rather averse to what Alana called the 'Connector Ring'.

"I am who I am. This is my unique style and self. I don't want to lend it to others for nothing and help them achieve greatness. Even if I have to 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 instead become a bond of limited communication. At work, several people bond together as a team and temporarily share various information and capabilities, so that everyone can work. When the work is done, they can separate freely and no longer connect with each other, thus ensuring their individual independence."

"Sharing all the time is really terrible."

"The cat's little thoughts can't be known to everyone, otherwise it won't be able to be lazy or play pranks."
