The villain daughter did all kinds of things

Miss Mengmeng looked in the direction of the sound and saw more than 70 human children aged 3 to 10 years old playing and having a great time among the flowers.

Each little girl was dressed in a beautiful cake dress, looking like a little princess.

The little boys were mostly wearing overalls, which were also quite exquisite and looked like the kind of clothes that you would only find in high-end department stores.

They didn't seem like adopted orphans at all; they were more like young masters and ladies who grew up in wealthy families.

"Hi~~"

Miss Mengmeng, with a smile on her face, took out a few pieces of candy from her pocket as she walked, chatting with the children to get closer to them.

The children were not shy at all and were very polite, calling each other "sister" sweetly, which quickly made Miss Mengmeng laugh out loud.

...Could it be that my intuition is wrong?

While playing with the children, Miss Mengmeng was quite puzzled.

She's a Purple Star Investigator, and observing a person's true thoughts through language, actions, and micro-expressions during casual conversations is an essential skill for her.

Therefore, Miss Mengmeng could see that the children's happiness here was genuine and not something they were forced to put on.

However... Miss Mengmeng's intuitive alarm bells rang even louder.

There's definitely something wrong here! A huge problem!

Although everything looks fine, there is still a problem!

The immense sense of rift between reality and intuition tormented Miss Mengmeng to the point that she almost cried out.

Her good detective skills allowed her to hold back, and then, led by the children, she visited the places where the children ate and slept.

The food was very good. Although there were no expensive ingredients, everything was fresh and of high quality. The portions of meat, eggs, and dairy products were plentiful, and there was a wide variety of vegetables and fruits. The food was nutritious and balanced, even better than what many children from ordinary families eat.

The sleeping area is also quite nice, with four children per room. The rooms are clean and tidy, clearly cleaned regularly, and the facilities are quite complete, with a private toilet and bathroom.

...That's a really great offer.

Seeing is believing. No matter how you look at it, this place is arguably the best place in the entire Federation for magic-repelling cubs.

But the warning bells of her intuition never stopped ringing in Miss Mengmeng's mind.

Having been an investigator for many years, this was the first time Ms. Mengmeng had encountered such a situation.

In the past, when her intuition gave her a warning, Miss Mengmeng would always be able to find some clues hidden under the disguise if she investigated carefully, and then follow the clues to uncover the truth.

But this time, nothing can be found... Either it's all true, and my intuition has failed me this time, or old man Langdon's disguise is too clever, enough to fool anyone.

However, in either case, Miss Mengmeng, who has been looking around for quite some time, should leave now; it would be impolite to continue looking around.

So Miss Mengmeng continued to demonstrate her excellent detective skills, appearing outwardly very satisfied with everything and confidently entrusting the four children to old man Langdon.

In reality...

Shortly after leaving Langdon Hospital, Miss Mengmeng once again activated her innate magic, bringing the little girl Mengmeng to the scene.

After skillfully dressing herself up, the little girl Mengmeng successfully transformed into a mischievous child who had run away from her parents to play. Instead of going through the main entrance, she crossed a grove of trees that was quite dangerous for a child, and went directly around to the back of Langdon Hospital. From a spot she had scouted out beforehand, she sneaked into the hospital's backyard.

Then Miss Mengmeng pretended to be lost. She played with the children who were still playing in the garden for a while before asking the adults for help, just like a real lost child.

Without experiencing any danger, the little girl Mengmeng soon saw old Langdon again. Old Langdon was still gentle and reliable, asking Mengmeng about her well-being and saying that he would contact her parents as soon as possible to pick her up. He even played a few games of Ludo with Mengmeng.

...He seems to really like children.

After contacting the children at Langdon Hospital and Langdon himself again under a different identity, Miss Mengmeng still couldn't find anything suspicious.

She had to admit that her intuition was wrong, and soon after, with the help of an informant from the Bureau of Investigation posing as her parents, she actually left Langdon Hospital.

What Miss Mengmeng didn't see was that shortly after she left, old man Langdon let out a long sigh of relief and exclaimed:

"Such amazing innate magic... 03, can you spot her weakness?"

"I'm sorry, but no, doctor."

A small white flower pot on the table suddenly emitted a strange little girl's voice:

"In fact, if I hadn't secretly marked this investigator beforehand as Miss Emery suggested, I wouldn't have been able to tell that the little girl who just left and the adult woman who left earlier were the same person."

"...So that's what I was thinking? This is the innate magic of humanity, 03."

Langdon wasn't too surprised:

"Some innate magic has almost zero destructive power, but its wonder often amazes even fusion-stage powerhouses... It was precisely because of the occasional extremely powerful innate magic that the ancient human race did not completely become slaves of the elves."

"Yes, the innate magic is extremely powerful and incredible."

The little white flower swayed gently twice, as if nodding:

"Based on the intelligence gathered in my database, innate magic is very likely a favor bestowed upon the human race by the world's will, a miraculous power directly connected to the origin and laws. The ancient empire east of the White Sea also recognizes and studies this power, calling it divine power."

"...Supernatural powers? That's more accurate than our innate magic."

Old Man Langdon finished the last sip of tea in his cup, stood up, and his gentle and refined demeanor vanished, replaced by a renewed frenzy.

"Now that the investigator has left, I should get back to work."

"Question: What should we do with the four new human larvae that the investigator sent us?"

At this moment, Little White Flower took the initiative to ask a question.

"Just handle it as usual."

Dr. Langdon waved his hand dismissively:

"Let them live a normal life for a while. Once you've collected enough data to perfectly mimic them and replace them, process them and send them to the lab as test subjects. If that investigator comes to visit them later, you'll be in charge of dealing with her."

"Okay, doctor."

The little white flower swayed gently again as if nodding, then returned to its normal flower form, indicating that 03's consciousness had left.

Langdon quickly returned to the laboratory to continue his experiments, which he had failed countless times and would fail countless more times.

Meanwhile, after actually leaving Landon Hospital and Warrendo City, Miss Mengmeng quickly returned to the FBI headquarters in the federal capital, Sfingart, to her own office.

After closing the door, taking off her coat and hanging it on the hanger, and stretching in a very sexy but unseen way, Miss Mengmeng sat down at her desk, opened a drawer, and took out a document.

The file was clearly created recently, with a title consisting of only two simple words—"Landon."

After carefully examining the document for a while and reflecting on her experiences that day, Miss Mengmeng finally smiled, a mixture of weariness and relief.

"This time I must really be overthinking things... Dr. Langdon is a good person, he's very different from Emery."

stab.

The file, which had just been created, was torn into four pieces by Ms. Mengmeng and then thrown into the shredder in the corner of the office.

Then Miss Mengmeng took out a new document, sat down in the chair, and began to read it.

"A very strange buyer in black robes... Let's focus on investigating this lead first. We can talk about Langdon Hospital after I visit the children in a while."

. . . . .

Locke City, at Amelie's house.

"Pack them all up, this one, and this one too."

Amelie was directing Marcy and Viliana to help her pack her luggage and put her change of clothes into the storage space.

Plans can't keep up with changes.

Judy didn't know how she reported it to her superiors after returning, but in any case, the military readily agreed to the cooperation proposed by Emery, allowing Blue Star Films to make a movie for them.

Not only should we film it, but we should film it as soon as possible, release it as soon as possible, and film more in the future.

Calculating the time, there were only a few days left until the arrival of the demonic tide this month, so Judy directly extended an invitation to Emeralt, inviting Emeralt to bring her photography team to visit her and participate in her unit's demonic tide suppression this time.

Emerald hasn't witnessed the Federation Army's campaign against the demonic tide yet, so of course she wants to go and see it for herself, with the mindset of a tourist and a director.

As Emery's maid and bodyguard, Marcy and Viliana would naturally follow Emery wherever she went.

Another must-see is Flying Fat Orange Cat Pancake, who is now the most professional photographer at Blue Star Films, and no filming job can do without him.

Pancake went, and of course Julia had to go too. This time, Emerald assigned Julia the job of photographer's bodyguard, whose mission was to protect Pancake during the demon tide extermination battle and prevent monsters and the aftershocks of the battle from interfering with Pancake's filming.

The last member to go with Emerald is Badis.

Badis had already selected 300 warriors from the White River Gang who loved to fight and were ready to set off for Champs-Élysées, but she received a last-minute order from Emerald that she had to postpone the expedition for a few more days.

Expanding territory in Champs-Élysées isn't urgent, but participating in the demon tide suppression with the Federation Army isn't an opportunity that comes around often... Emerald will definitely have many more opportunities, but Badis is different. She's now a wolf fighting for Emerald, and she definitely won't have much free time in the future.

Amelie didn't bring Badis into this shoot for fun, nor did she expect her to perform well on the battlefield.

Because the filming crew would meet up with Judy's unit a few days in advance, they would witness the daily training of the Union Army's active-duty troops, and Judy would also have a personal guard composed entirely of Amazonian female warriors.

Amelie's idea was for Badis to spend these few days learning from the army's tactics and applying them in gang warfare later.

This might seem funny to other gangs, but the White River Gang is no joke, because their backer is Emerald, who has the ability to procure the same weapons and equipment as soldiers in the army.

Having grown up in the small city of Locke, Batis had hardly ever met any of her kind. Now, hearing that she would soon be able to meet an elite force composed of her own kind, she was very excited and even more grateful to Emery—her already high level of loyalty increased once again.

After making preparations, the photography team of five women and one cat stood together in the teleportation magic circle drawn by Viliana and used a group teleportation spell based on the spatial coordinates provided by Judy.

A flash of magical light appeared, and when Emery and the others reappeared, they were inside a makeshift military portal.

"My dear junior, welcome to you, and welcome to everyone."

Judy was already waiting there. She gave Amelie a warm hug as soon as she arrived, and then shook hands with Julia and Muffin in turn. She even smiled and nodded to Marcy, Viriana and Badis, clearly in a good mood.

"Welcome, Miss Melson!"

After Judy's enthusiastic hug, loud and unified shouts rang out again.

Yulia peeked out of the portal with some curiosity, her mouth slightly agape.

Nearly 2000 fully armed Federation soldiers came to greet them; it was the sound of all the soldiers shouting together just now.

The guard of about a hundred people closest to the portal was composed entirely of fierce women with a similar style to Judy and Badis; they were likely the Amazon warriors' personal guard.

Yulia sensed the situation more carefully and discovered that there weren't actually that many control-level mages on the army's side; there were less than 20 out of nearly 2000 people.

However, the proportion of awakened mages is quite alarming, exceeding half, meaning there are over 1000 mages present. This number is rare even in major cities, let alone Locke City.

...As expected, the vast majority of mages are concentrated in the army, which is why it is difficult for ordinary people to get help when they urgently need it... My decision to stay among the people and help everyone was definitely the right one!

Yulia felt proud of her choice once again.

As for why there aren't many Master-level Mages, Yulia has some guesses.

The conditions in the military are ultimately quite harsh, and the benefits certainly can't compare to those of wealthy large companies. Therefore, master-level mages generally prefer to become mercenaries for large security companies or work in the security departments of large companies.

In fact, Yulia, who has now been recognized as a Master-level mage, is also seen by outsiders as a Master-level mage working for a large company. However, her job content is exactly the same as her ideal, so it doesn't count as breaking her promise to herself.

While Julia was looking around, Emerald had already greeted Judy and even exchanged a few words with the soldiers with a smile.

Judy then ordered her junior officers to dismiss the soldiers waiting near the portal to greet the filming crew, telling them to go about their business, leaving only her personal guard composed of Amazonian warriors.

"Sorry, junior."

Once only her own people were around, Judy's tone became noticeably more relaxed:

"This is a military camp, and I really can't find the kind of fair-skinned, delicate girl you like to entertain you... I can only arrange a more comfortable room for you. Anyway, you're never short of beautiful women around you, are you?"

"That's right, I'm never short of beautiful women around me."

Emery didn't mince words; while nodding with a smile, she wrapped her arms around both Marcy and Viliana, and even Yulia wasn't spared, pulling her into her arms along with Marcy.

"Look, I have three beautiful girls with me right now, so I definitely won't be lonely at night. Don't worry, Senior Judy."

"I……"

I'm not the beauty next to you! I won't serve you tonight either, you're dreaming!

Yulia wanted to retort loudly, but she was worried that Amelie would lose face, so in the end she just puffed up her cheeks angrily and said nothing.

Judy smiled and led Amelie and the others to their lodgings.

Although it's called a residence, there are actually no buildings at all. After all, this place is less than 10 kilometers away from the center of the magic tide, and there are no towns within 50 kilometers. The villages of magic rejecters within a few miles have also been evacuated.

The accommodation that Judy arranged for Amelie and the others was actually just a large tent.

However, the interior is indeed quite luxurious. There is a very thick, large, and soft mattress, with brand-new sheets, blankets, and other amenities on it. Next to the mattress, there is a small desk, a small tea table, and various other furniture.

But Yulia was dumbfounded when she saw this.

Amélie can sleep on the big mattress with two elves on either side at night, while Badis has to keep watch. Pancake can just lie down anywhere, so where does she sleep?

"Yulia, you still don't want to sleep with me tonight?"
