Chapter 670: Chapter 355: The Misfit Shadow_3

"You sense that the old woman and Granny Tang are not on the same side, so you quietly ask her where the Spirit Association is located?"

"The old woman tells you that she can reveal everything she knows, but you must promise to help locate her granddaughter who was kidnapped by the Spirit Association."

"You triggered the hidden quest: Search for the Lost Louise."

"Quest details: The old woman before you is an ordinary resident of Zhenyu Village with a lovely and well-behaved eight-year-old granddaughter named Corday·Louise. Five years ago, Granny Tang appeared in the Cook Islands and forcibly took away all the children from the village."

"The old woman sensed the strangeness of these events and chose to hide her granddaughter in the cellar, thus avoiding the search. Her granddaughter was already eight years old at the time and, as long as they survived two more years, she would be safe from Granny Tang’s target once she turned ten and could lead a normal life."

"Unexpectedly, only a year later, Louise, who couldn’t resist going outside for a breath of fresh air, was discovered and ultimately taken away by Granny Tang."

"In her quest to find her granddaughter, the old woman feigned insanity, secretly observing Granny Tang for four years and finally discovering her contact point with the Spirit Association. But she is just a dying old woman with no power to resist the Spirit Association, so she has been waiting for the right person."

"Your arrival gives her hope. As a Fool, you might have the ability to infiltrate the Spirit Association and investigate her granddaughter’s whereabouts."

"Quest objective: Infiltrate the Spirit Association, find clues about Louise, and report back to the old woman."

"Quest reward: The hidden location of the Spirit Association."

"Quest deadline: None."

Mu You raises an eyebrow.

This was a triggered quest, yet its objective was vague. There was no requirement for him to rescue Louise, only to discover her whereabouts. Clearly, the old woman herself understood that her granddaughter was most likely in grave danger.

The quest had no penalties, no substantial rewards, and no deadlines. To call it a quest was more akin to an old woman’s desperate request.

Mu You naturally accepted the task. After all, the information provided by the old woman was urgently needed. As for the task itself, he could only promise to do his best. After all, finding any clue regarding a person missing for four years seemed uncertain.

"You agree to the old woman’s request."

"You have obtained the hidden entrance to the Spirit Association, located within a paper mill owned by Old Luke in the central part of the Cook Islands, Grey Rock Village, under the third row of paper cabinets against the north wall."

"You have obtained the address of the Spirit Association. Do you wish to proceed there immediately?"

"Yes."

Mu You makes an instant decision.

Waiting for Grey Rock Village took a fair amount of time. Half an hour passed before Mu You received the alert.

"You have arrived in Grey Rock Village."

Once he arrived, Mu You stealthily approached Luke’s House and surreptitiously observed from afar.

Sure enough, the homeowner was an old man. Mu You specifically checked and saw a prompt indicating this old man didn’t cast a shadow.

The old man’s house was large, with several workshops enclosed by a fence, each one several thousand square meters, and all marked as private territory, which meant he couldn’t just barge in.

Though he had found the location, infiltration wouldn’t be that easy. Observing for a while, Mu You found the old man to be quite alert, slyly forbidding anyone who came to him from setting foot on his property.

If even locals couldn’t get near, as an outsider with a shadow, Mu You would undoubtedly be cast out at the door.

He had no choice but to continue waiting for an opportunity.

However, just as he was considering whether to attempt the infiltration at night, he noticed several familiar-looking robot parts stacked outside the old man’s door: labor robots and cleaning robots!

Mu You’s eyes brightened. That’s right! If the old man doesn’t allow outsiders in, who operates his paper mill? The answer is robots! Robots are the safest labor force and the only ones that can guarantee absolute confidentiality!
