Chapter 148 The Advantage of Future Intelligence
Noah stepped into the dessert shop where she had met Kaiyang last time.
Ignoring the "Welcome" greeting from the waiter at the door, Noah walked straight to a table deep inside the building—the same table where she had sat during her last meeting with Kaiyang.
A girl was already sitting in this seat, and Noah unceremoniously sat down opposite her.
After Noah sat down, the girl nodded, took out her phone, and scanned the QR code on the table. "What would you like to eat?"
"Two strawberry parfaits, please."
The girl looked up in surprise. "Damn, you can eat two servings of this?"
"Huh? Didn't she tell you?" Noah yawned. "Last time Lord Kaiyang treated me to dessert here, I ordered two parfaits."
The girl in front of him frowned, gritted her teeth, lowered her head, and started ordering food on her phone: "Kaiyang has the Civil Defense Bureau to reimburse them, but I'm spending my own money."
"Compared to the income of a magical girl, this isn't expensive, is it?"
"It's such a waste! This is just a cup of ice cream with some fruit and chocolate toppings, and it costs over a hundred! I could buy a whole tub of ice cream for a hundred dollars, okay?! Why would you like this stuff?!"
"If you think it's too expensive, go find Kaiyang. I doubt she'd be stingy with that amount of money, would she?"
"Let me make this clear first, we have absolutely no connection with Kaiyang." After ordering, the girl put her phone aside. "I only decided to meet you because I was just curious."
"Yes, yes, yes—" Noah replied casually.
The girl before them was the wild magical girl Noah had mentioned during her meeting with Kaiyang ["Some of my wild magical girl friends," who are very interested in you and can provide you with intelligence, supplies, and even necessary military support.]
"Of course, these are all their personal actions, and have nothing to do with me or the Civil Defense Bureau. After all, we have absolutely no way to control wild magical girls out there."
Kaiyang used this clandestine method to allow the magical girl outside the system to continue her contact with Noah.
In fact, Noah and she had arranged to meet a few days ago. However, on the day of their meeting, the Time Assassin's surprise attack occurred. Therefore, they arranged to meet again today.
"Let me introduce myself first—my code name is Dove."
Although the two had communicated via text message over the phone, Hato insisted on introducing herself in person regarding her code name. In her words, this seemed to be a kind of ritual.
However, this insistence completely lost its meaning when Noah met her. "Well, I'll do the same. My code name is Noah," Noah replied casually. In her opinion, insisting on introducing oneself face-to-face was a strange kind of obsession.
Moreover, Noah had actually known her for a long time in her own timeline—
"So, how's things on your end?" Dove went straight to the point. "Our first meeting was canceled—you said it was because you were attacked by future assassins. Did you suffer significant losses?"
"Fortunately, although it happened suddenly, we managed to handle it overall," Noah replied casually, her tone relaxed.
"That's good. However, if you feel you can't hold on any longer, feel free to contact me, and I'll send someone to help you—"
'
"Thank you very much!" Noah smiled, but her tone was slightly barbed: "But you certainly won't help for nothing, right? Just tell me, what do you want? What will happen to the 'Compassionate Revival Project' in the future? What do you think of this information?"
As soon as Noah said this, the dove froze, and the expression on its face gradually became somewhat ugly.
Noah continued to smile as she watched the changes in the dove.
As the awkward silence continued, a waiter pushed a cart over. "These are two strawberry parfaits for your table. Please enjoy."
The waiter respectfully placed the two parfaits in front of Dove and Noah respectively, and then left.
"Wow, it's finally here!" Noah picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of ice cream, and put it in her mouth with a happy expression.
Then, she looked at the still-unpleasant-looking dove and said, "Ah, it seems the waiter thought these two portions were for each of us. Don't eat yours, remember to leave some for me."
The dove stared intently at Noah, who didn't seem to mind and began to enjoy the parfait in front of her under its gaze.
Finally, when half of the parfait in Noah's Cup had disappeared, the dove spoke up, "I think I understand why Lord Kaiyang dislikes you."
"Oh?"
"It's infuriating to have a complete stranger know everything about me when we're meeting for the first time. That's probably why Kaiyang can't tolerate you; you know too much, you're a ticking time bomb."
"Not at all. If I wanted to cause trouble, the world would be in chaos long ago." Noah's smile faded, and her expression gradually turned serious.
"After all, there are several traitors in the Council of Seven. If I were to compile a bunch of dirt on these high-ranking members and spread it around the world, what kind of turmoil do you think it would cause?"
The dove felt a little sweat beading on its forehead.
Her original plan was simply to extract some basic information from this "person from the future." In the eyes of the dove, Noah was just an ordinary magical girl; what could she possibly know?
However, when Noah mentioned the "Compassionate Revival Plan," Dove felt something was amiss. In fact, she was also well aware of some of the unknown secrets within the "Council of Seven."
After all, from the perspective of the dove, she only colluded with Kaiyang, and she even thought that the other members of the council were all selfless rulers.
What kind of existence will this woman be in the future?!
While the dove was still in a daze, Noah had already finished the first parfait. Then she reached out and unceremoniously took the parfait in front of the dove and placed it in front of herself.
"Ah, don't be too shocked. After all, I have a bit more authority in the future Civil Defense Bureau and know a little more things."
Noah picked up her spoon and pointed at the doves. "However, I do need your help right now. The only thing I can offer in exchange is future information. Before that, I'll give you a gift first."
"Your organization doesn't have an official name yet, right? You'll probably name it 'New Order' in about five years." I think we don't need to wait five years; let's call it that now.
"Huh?" Dove looked at Noah in shock. Is this even possible?
