The base where true friends are hard to find is actually very interesting.
It's in the sea.
As mentioned before, the city of Hiro itself is on the border of the empire and is a coastal city by the sea. This is why it has become a trade hub between the empire and the kingdom separated by an endless sea. Therefore, the economy of Hiro City is largely dependent on maritime trade.
This also gives a lot of room for criminal forces to operate.
For example, setting up a shipping company and secretly establishing a base on a private island in the open sea, or simply building a base under the sea. With the level of technology and magic in the context of this script's world view, doing such a thing is not easy, but it won't be too difficult either.
Swish!
After entering the underground water pipe, Zhiji Nanxun and Gu Moli chatted and sang, and they shuttled through the complex underground water network with sparks flying all the way. Finally, they broke away from an underground water discharge channel near the open sea and officially entered the open sea of Shiro City.
Then, the rectangular devices on both sides of the vehicle began to retract, just like the retracting landing gear of an airplane, and the entire vehicle transformed into a small submarine, and then slowly drove into the dark deep sea.
“This is too high-tech.”
After this operation, even Gu Moli was somewhat shocked: "What on earth did you get before you quit the script last time?"
“Isn’t it amazing?”
Zhiji Nanxun twisted his body in the submarine so that his face could face Gu Moli, then he grinned and gave a thumbs up: "Actually, I got all this for free. When I was jumping around, I accepted this organization and used it a little bit."
“This is really… ..”
To be fair, Gu Moli admired this very much.
There are many smart people in this world, but there is no true all-rounder. Smart people also have different areas of expertise. For example, Gu Moli, although he thinks he has very smooth words and excellent communication skills, it is difficult for him to do such a haphazard job.
Nine times out of ten, it will be unsuccessful.
But it is easy to find a true friend, even though it is hard to find one.
certainly.
"... It's just so-so. If it were me, I would have already completed it perfectly. You are too incompetent."
... ..Although he thought so in his heart, Gu Moli would never admit it.
"I don't bother with people who are stubborn."
It's hard to find a bosom friend. He didn't refute it, but just narrowed his eyes and smiled and replied to Gu Moli. Seeing this, Gu Moli could only smack his lips and then changed the subject abruptly:
"Speaking of which... Since your secret base is here, the emperor's secret base should be here too, right? That's our target, right?"
“You can’t say it’s wrong.”
Zhiji Nanxun nodded: "But the emperor is a bit more advanced than someone like me."
"What do you mean?"
"Generally, the lowest level secret bases like this are naturally built in Hiro City. You have to know that there are many kinds of superheroes in Hiro City with different abilities. Placing a base in Hiro City is like placing it under other people's noses. The more advanced ones will open the base outside Hiro City, either in the open sea or in the suburbs, as long as it is hidden. People like me can be considered, but the emperor is a little more powerful."
"Even more powerful?" Gu Moli was a little confused. What else could he do since he opened the business outside of Shiro City
It’s Hard to Find a True Friend gave the answer in the next second.
“He bought an island.”
"... ..???"
"They purchased an island through completely legal means, and used an unknown method to delete the specific coordinates of the island. With the addition of some special shielding technology, surveillance satellites in outer space cannot find the location of the island, and magical divination cannot find the location of the island."
“He even provocatively wrote the name of the island in Hilo’s transaction records.”
"Emperor Island."
"Everyone in Hiro City knows that the emperor has a private island, but no one can find it. Every year, Hiro City spends a lot of money to search for it at sea, but after so many years, there is still no clue. The Emperor's Island is as mysterious as the emperor himself."
"... ..but you found it?"
"I'm awesome, right~!"
It's hard to find a true friend. He curled his lips, raised his eyebrows, and smiled proudly again.
"Oh, awesome, awesome."
Gu Moli said a few perfunctory words without sincerity, and their eyes met and paused for a moment.
... ... ... ...
"Sure enough! I knew it! The Queen really knows where Emperor Island is!"
"good!"
In the Hilo City Patrol Office, Sheriff Aldridge slammed the table hard and showed an extremely excited expression. Next to him, the young man in charge of operating the computer also showed an excited expression, and the data light flow in his eyes also surged a lot at this moment.
"... The Nano Overseer is still functioning normally."
"very good!"
Aldrich glanced at the young man with satisfaction. He was different from other superheroes. Superheroes as a group were often independent and eccentric, most of whom were vigilantes who walked outside the law, but the one in front of him was a superhero who worshipped the system and the officialdom.
He also serves as a special adviser to the Hilo Police Department.
Hero Electronic Elf.
The ability is very simple, belonging to the standard technological ability, which can be roughly understood as a natural invincible hacker, and can also do many things that hackers cannot do. For example, a computer that is disconnected from the Internet is not afraid of hackers, but the electronic elf can automatically connect this computer to the Internet.
He himself is a network base station.
Thanks to him, many products that were originally considered unfeasible have now found their place.
One of these is the so-called nano-overseer.
The principle is very simple. It is a nanorobot that can act as a monitoring tool after being injected into the human body. The idea itself is good. After being injected into the human body, it is also feasible to record the information heard and said by the injected person by synchronizing the five senses of the human body.
The problem is... the recorded information cannot be sent out.
Just completing the above-mentioned recording function has already overloaded the nanorobot, and it is simply impossible to send and receive signals.
So the plan was shelved for a while.
Until the emergence of the electronic elf, the independent personal network established by him replaced the communication network originally planned by nanorobots.
So this technology suddenly gained a second life.
With the help of nano supervisors, the police have directed and acted many times, letting the criminals lead them to find their own secret nests, and at the same time obtained a large amount of black intelligence. At the same time, this technology is also the police's highest level of confidentiality project, and only two people know about it.
Aldrich and the Electronic Genie himself.
And now, this technology has finally played its greatest role, having been kept secret until now. Although there are many unexplained noises in the monitored messages, which cover up a lot of information in the conversation between the Queen and the Thousand Faces Man, the most useful information is still exposed.
Emperor Island!
"After so many years, I finally caught the damn Emperor Island!"
There is a widely circulated saying in both the black and white circles of Hilo City, that is, if you want to find a criminal, the best way is not to ask the police, but to ask another criminal.
Aldridge agrees.
And it turns out.
"I was right!"
Aldrich waved his arm vigorously and patted the electronic elf's shoulder. "Leave it to you. I want to know more accurate information. Also, although the Thousand Faces Man is not real, he can chat with the Queen so well, so he should not be a good person."
"I'll go gather some people now!"
"The Sin of Hilo City."
“It will be completely ended this time!”
