(Miluno)

"Master..."

In the video, the elderly man, who was tied up, also sighed sadly.

Gong Ling then said, "Zhenglong, you don't need to say anything. I should be the one apologizing to you for dragging you into this."

Dantai Zhengchu also asked:

"Dad, why won't you tell us?"

"This day would come sooner or later, and I don't want to drag you down with me."

Does that mean they're being targeted by the Prosecutorate?

My mother, oblivious to the atmosphere, continued:

"It's a pity you still got dragged into this, huh? If you hadn't returned to the Dantai Society back then, you would truly be someone who doesn't exist."

What do you want to ask?

"You probably don't know much about the other inside information... Come on! Tell me the Proxy's identity~"

I felt she was getting a little carried away.

"I don't know either. The higher-ups only contact us unilaterally. Before they contact us, we're only responsible for gathering intelligence."

That's exactly what Xiaoling said back then.

"But she'll contact you sooner or later, won't she?"

"The Old District under my jurisdiction is under lockdown, so my superiors won't be able to contact me during this time."

"That's hard to say."

The mother came to Gong Ling's side and circled around the silver-haired beauty.

"Your magic is so suited for reconnaissance behind enemy lines. If I were your Proxy, I wouldn't let you sit idle; I would definitely assign you other tasks... Perhaps she has already contacted you? Is there anything else you're hiding from me?"

A strange red light appeared in my mother's eyes.

She was peering into the Memory Record in Gong Ling's mind, but investigating from a distance might be less efficient. Fortunately, the latter was unaware of the effects of the "Memory Tracking" magic and was currently oblivious to the fact that her privacy was being spied on.

"No..."

"Perfect timing, I have some photos here to show you... Yun Zhi ~!"

Mom called Dad's name from afar.

"Why do I have to control your computer too?"

Although he was muttering to himself, Dad, who was on the same wavelength as Mom, still showed a series of photos on the screen.

It was previously retrieved from Ceruno's head, and the portrait analysis was created using AI by stitching together the lower half of the Proxy's face.

"Miluno has encountered the Proxy in previous battles, right? Everyone here except Miss Dantai Xue should have seen her. Could you look at these photos and tell me which one is closest to your impression of the Proxy?"

Because he wore a large cloak covering his upper body, the Proxy always appeared with his head covered, only his mouth and chin showing. In these photos, his mouth and chin are also...

"Huh?!"

Wait, I feel like I've seen this somewhere before...

Dantai Zhengchu and Tiger Cub exchanged a glance, then shook their heads.

"I cannot answer your question."

"That's right! I've only ever seen her with her head covered, so if you ask me which picture is more like her, I can't really answer... either one could be true!"

Gong Ling also shook her head, but she and her mother looked at me together.

"My dear daughter, do you remember anything?"

"Miluno! It's that person!"

Mono seemed to have figured it out.

"It's that woman! The one with the great figure who used a 'pump and pound' into the bath yesterday at the public bathhouse!"

"That's enough! You don't need to say it out loud, I remember everything now!!"

"Your voice is louder than mine..."

I thought that person looked familiar before, and now I realize it was the lower half of their face that matched the Proxy's.

It's a pity I didn't just take her down back then...

"Mom, I have the Proxy's complete face in my mind, and she even said she works for the Association... That Proxy is infiltrating the branch!"

No wonder SpiCa locked himself up inside.

She was at a disadvantage in her several confrontations with Sun Ji. Staying under the noses of a group of traitors, everything she did was clearly seen. It would be a miracle if she could gain any advantage.

Dad asked, "Which bathhouse? I'll go check the security footage."

There are definitely no video cameras inside the bathhouse, but there will still be recordings at the exit.

"The bathhouse is called 'Heavenly Wind,' and it's located in the center of Skyreach City."

After.

My mom took a full-body photo of the Proxy from inside my head using a Polaroid camera.

The Proxy in the photo was even completely naked...

"Hey~ she's quite the beauty, daughter, you're really lucky!"

"That was a real near-death experience, don't joke about it with me."

Not only that, her mother also demanded that Gong Ling not make any rash moves during this period, using her son and granddaughter as hostages. This old woman probably wouldn't dare to do anything... However, as her father's inside man, she still has crimes to be investigated, but there's no time to send her to jail right now. They plan to settle the score with her after they catch the Proxy.

It's about time I said goodbye.

"I still have concert rehearsals to attend; I'll leave the investigation into the mole within the Association to you and Dad."

"Sigh, that's just our job..."

At the entrance to the private room, he said this, then cupped his cheeks and made a sound of annoyance.

"... But Mom really wants to see her daughter's concert too!"

"It's not like I can't just watch an online concert on my phone when I have a spare moment, right?"

"We might not even have that kind of leeway!"

She waved the nude photo in her hand.

"This is a very important clue! I have to go work now! Come on... let Mom give me one last hug to replenish my energy!"

He not only hugged me, but also embraced Mono.

Today she didn't lay a hand on us, but just whispered in our ears.

"The world is becoming increasingly turbulent, but behind the immense despair lies the same hope. I believe that the day when humanity triumphs is not far off. The 'The Other Side' is already starting to get anxious, which shows that everything we have done is right... No matter what happens, never give up hope, and believe in yourself and those around you."

"Mom, you..."

Why do these words sound like a flag?

"Okay, I wish you a successful concert!"

She gave us a push and then left the restaurant on her own.

"Then let's go back too."

He turned back to the private room and opened the teleportation portal back to the City School in front of Dantai Xue and the others.

"Your family has finally reunited, so take this opportunity to catch up."

Although, Tiger Cub is superfluous.

Mono added, "You can come watch our concert tonight!"

Although Mono wasn't at the concert.

Inside the teleportation tunnel, Mono was still muttering to himself.

"This family is really strange. Why would they help Sun Ji when they are victims of war themselves?"

The Dantai Family's stance is indeed contradictory.

As victims of twelve years, they naturally had an irreconcilable hatred for "the Other Side." However, Dantai Chenwei became Ceruno's father's informant, and in order to protect Gong Ling's existence, they chose to conceal and deceive.

However, this is not surprising.

Sun Ji saved Dantai Chenwei's life with the Contaminated Crystal; such a great favor naturally deserves Gong Ling's life in return.

As for Dantai Zhengchu...

This man is quite shrewd; he probably already guessed Gong Ling's identity when Ceruno went to investigate.

When people want to protect their loved ones, they will often do things that go against their own principles.

Will Miluno do it too?

"Of course, I'd do anything for Ceruno!"

She then pointed to herself.

"Then, what about for me?"

"You? Are you alright no matter what?"

"Eh!!"
