Reborn as the Darling of the Delta.

"Alright, let's end the meeting here for now. Regarding the timing, we still need to wait for the higher-ups to report to me on when Hafk will carry out the large-scale personnel replacement plan. Go back and rest, everyone. Red Wolf Roy, you two come back with me."

Then, with Wei Long's mocking expression on his face, Roy and Red Wolf reluctantly began to crawl towards Deep Blue's room.

"Hey Xiaohao, do you think Claire knows the map of Tidal Prison? She's been there for so long... but she seems to have no sense of direction. Come on, Xiaohao, let's go back and video call her to ask her first."

At this moment, Luna also came up behind Zhang Hao, and pulled him along to go back to find our "double agent" Claire to see if they could get the map of Tide Prison.

"Oh? Is this alright, Sister Luna? You know, Sister Claire is still an employee of their Hafk Group. What if they find out...?"

Luna: If we get caught, come and fight alongside me against that awful Zoya and Mai Xiaowen!

Chapter 489 Inquiry into Intelligence (1)

Ring ring!

Claire was still catching up on her sleep in bed at the space base when the sudden video call forcibly pulled her out of her dream.

"Huh? Uh... Hello? Who is it?"

Upon seeing the sleepy-eyed Claire on the other end of the phone, Luna exclaimed loudly:

"Claire! Look at the time! Are you still turning into a pig here? You'll be unable to sleep at night and will be looking at your phone again. Open your eyes right now, we have something to ask you."

After hearing Luna's voice on the phone, Claire forced her eyes open, waited a few seconds for her brain to "boot up," took a deep breath, and sat up abruptly. She picked up her phone, looked at the screen showing Luna and Xiao Hao, and said:

"Ugh~~~ Ugh, Luna, you're so annoying! I've been sleeping in the infirmary for the past few days, and I just can't get used to the beds there. I haven't had a proper night's sleep in days. This afternoon I finally managed to move all my stuff back from Tide Prison, and you woke me up before I could even get a proper nap. How annoying~~~"

Looking at Claire "acting cute" in front of her, Luna remained calm. This girl loved to act like a brat in front of people she knew well. If she hadn't suffered a lot at Claire's hands, she would have started comforting Claire like Xiao Hao did.

Luna: Damn it, what are you pretending for in front of Xiao Hao? Do you think I don't know your lifestyle? You said you didn't sleep well, but you were just playing on your phone all night. Just kidding. I've known you for so long, I can tell what you're going to say just by looking at you.

"Alright, Xiao Hao, don't say anything yet. This guy is very shrewd. Claire, do you have a map of Tidal Prison, or... how much do you remember? Can you copy it or tell me about it?"

Luna didn't waste any words with Claire and went straight to asking her about the Tide Prison map.

"A map of Tidal Prison? Luna, what do you need a map of Tidal Prison for? What are you going there for? Let me tell you, don't go there to do any missions. That prison is a complete mess."

When Luna asked her about the Tide Prison, Claire said seriously that when she went back to get something, she found that the friction between the Asara prisoners and the Hafk guards was getting bigger and bigger. At this rate, Claire thought there was going to be a riot in the prison.

"Listen to me first, Luna. The friction between the two sides in Tide Prison is already quite intense. Last time I went to Tide Prison to process my resignation, there were already several incidents of prisoners attacking and attempting to create riots. It's not just a struggle between the two sides, but actually a three-way conflict."

Claire then explained to Luna and Zhang Hao the three factions and their conflicts. After listening to Claire, Zhang Hao and Luna exchanged glances, and Zhang Hao immediately got up to get paper and pen to write it down, as this was all important information.

"Claire, I do have to go there to carry out a mission... but since you're in Hafk right now, I can't really tell you the details. By the way... when are you planning to come to GTI?"

Luna then realized that it wasn't really appropriate for her to ask Claire about the map, so she changed the subject and started asking how long Claire would stay in Hafk.

"Hmm...probably not that fast. After all, I haven't done anything. Besides, when I went to the Tower of Babel with Xiaohao last time, Dr. Rometheus said he was going to give me a Relink brain-computer interface. Once I get the brain-computer interface, it'll be even less likely that I'll be able to leave so soon. Why are you asking this?"

Hearing Claire say that, Luna sighed inwardly. It seemed she would have to fight alone for a while longer. She hoped she could protect Xiao Hao... Sigh, it was still too difficult.

"Hey! Claire, could you tell me how to quickly find Raven's location after entering the Tidal Prison?"

Luna thought about it and decided that she absolutely couldn't ask Claire for the map of the Tidal Prison. Not only was Claire now working for Hafk, but even if she wanted to give it to her, she probably wouldn't remember the layout of the Tidal Prison.

It's not that Luna is underestimating Claire. Claire isn't exactly directionally challenged, but she does know how to get around. Asking her to draw out the route they've taken like Luna would be asking too much of her.

Luna: Sigh, if I had known back then, I would have hardened my heart and taught her to draw. At that time, she was just acting cute in front of me, and I didn't expect things to turn out this way, so I softened my heart and let her go.

"Huh? How did we end up at the raven's place? Not Luna? Are you going to find that madman?!"

"A madman? Wasn't Raven Asara's previous prince? Why are you calling him a madman?"

Luna was also somewhat confused after hearing Claire's exclamation. No matter what, that raven was still a member of Asara's royal family. Otherwise, why would they take such a big risk to save him?

Could it be that Claire had some kind of conflict with this raven when she was in Tidal Prison, which is why she called the raven a madman?

"Oh no, Luna, you don't know, that Raven was apparently captured and put into Tidal Prison for some kind of brain experiment. I think Dr. Rometheus even customized a Relink brain-computer interface for him, but later, for some reason, or maybe the experiment failed, Raven's nervous system seemed to have gone awry. He's always jumping around like a madman."

Zhang Hao's hands, which had just stopped moving, became busy again after hearing Claire's news.

Chapter 490 Inquiry into Intelligence (2)

"Wait, wait, you mean... Hafk's people actually used Asara's prince for brain experiments? And judging from the current situation... it seems like they failed?"

"Hmm...uh...it seems so, but he's not completely insane. You know, if he were truly insane, he wouldn't be thinking about reading, right? No...he would actively read books. Luna might really be insane; he's actually actively reading books!"

Luna immediately ignored Claire's subsequent ramblings and said to Zhang Hao, who was still taking notes:

"Xiao Hao, take notes on the key points. Raven seems to have some neurological issues, but his intelligence is normal. It might be a side effect of the brain experiments he underwent. Also, Claire, is his behavior normal? Or is he physically like a psychopath?"

Claire also stopped complaining, and after recalling her few brief encounters with the raven in the Tidal Prison, she said:

"Well, it's not entirely normal, except that sometimes he'll suddenly start yelling about revenge, about making Hafk and those who betrayed him pay the price. And as far as the prison guards are concerned, this guy's fighting ability is terrifying."

"I think they said he once escaped and caused a lot of damage, and it took quite a few people to catch him again. Xiao Hao, listen to me, Luna can forget about it, after all, that guy is tough and resilient. You absolutely must not go to that prison this time. If you want to see it next time, I'll see if I can ask Ms. Demulan to make a video for you. If you run into that Raven... I'm really afraid you'll get 'quacked'. That guy isn't exactly mentally sound."

Luna: Claire, you......................I can understand that you're thinking about Xiao Hao, but what do you mean by saying I'm thick-skinned? Let me tell you, I'm very tender. Every time I get close to Xiao Hao, he blushes. Unlike that old woman Zoya, Xiao Hao's face doesn't even turn red.

Zoya: Tch, you just like to tease Xiaohao for a while, but I would have finished by then. Do you want to see how Xiaohao's face only turns red after I'm done? Seriously, at your pace, Mai Xiaowen has eaten more meat than you have now.

"Alright, alright, let's not worry about whether that raven's brain is damaged or not. Just tell me how to get there first, so it will be easier and less dangerous for us when we get there."

"But... there are many intersections inside the Tide Prison, and to be honest... it's a bit complicated. How should I explain it to you? Please wait for me to organize my thoughts."

Seeing this, Claire said she would think about what to say first, so Luna and Zhang Hao obediently waited on the side.

20 minutes later.........................

"Come on, let me tell you about the first route first..."

After a long wait, Claire, having organized her thoughts, began to explain to Luna and Zhang Hao, using both hands and feet, how to get to the raven from the main gate.

"The second option is if you enter from the outside..."

However, as she continued talking, Luna, who was becoming increasingly confused, couldn't help but interrupt her directly:

"Stop, stop, stop, Claire, are you really speaking an Earth language? What you're saying at the end is really confusing me and Xiao Hao. Forget it, I've already memorized two routes, so stop waving your arms around."

After Claire's bizarre maneuver, Luna resigned herself to her fate and stopped. This was because she was familiar with Claire's way of speaking; otherwise, she would have been just like Zhang Hao, who was completely dumbfounded, and wouldn't have been able to understand what Claire was saying at all.

"Huh? Are you sure you only need two routes? Okay, to be honest, I'm almost forgetting the routes myself, since I don't usually like patrolling that raven area."

Seeing this, Claire had no choice but to stop. She then started talking to Luna about the "suffering" she had endured in the Tide Prison, describing it as incredibly miserable. Zhang Hao, after looking at the records in his hand, greeted Luna and went to give them to Deep Blue.

After Zhang Hao opened the door and went out, he saw Roy and Red Wolf lying on the sofa downstairs, covering their butts and "crying with their heads buried in their hands," while Wei Long was smiling and taking pictures of the two's "European and American perky butts" with his phone.

Upon seeing Zhang Hao emerge from the room, Wei Long smiled and said:

"Hey Hao, you know what, you don't even need to learn exorcism anymore. After Roy got slapped twice by Deep Blue, he was completely cured and doesn't even think about ghosts anymore. Roy is a staunch materialist now."

Zhang Hao also looked at Roy, and Roy, after hearing what Wei Long said, couldn't help but curse:

"You try taking a few slaps from Shen Lan and see if you'll end up like me. I really believe it now. Even if ghosts really exist, they can't withstand Shen Lan's slaps. I really don't know how Zoya was so brave back then, daring to rebel against young Shen Lan."

Zoya: Hmph, so you guys are all weaklings. I'm a real strong woman, and I'm still rebelling despite being slapped by Deep Blue.

"Uncle Deep Blue, this is the information that Luna and I just obtained. It's all about the Tidal Prison and the Raven."

Chapter 491 Receiving the News

At this moment, Zhang Hao also saw Shen Lan coming out of the kitchen and quickly took the information he had recorded earlier.

When Deep Blue heard Zhang Hao say that he had collected information on Tidal Prison and Raven, he quickly came over and took the information Zhang Hao handed him to read.

"Hmm... I didn't expect this raven to have gone through something like this in the Tide Prison. If the Asara soldiers outside found out, I wonder if they would be furious?"

Seeing that Raven had been subjected to brain experiments by Hafk and his gang in the Tide Prison, which had caused him to become extremely mentally unstable, Deep Blue was also having a headache over this.

"Hopefully, when we release him that day, he'll be in a slightly better state of mind. What if we manage to rescue him but can't take him with us? That would be a complete waste of all our efforts."

Deep Blue couldn't help but sigh, and he hadn't expected the Hafk Group to be so audacious. After all, after the death of the old King Asara, Raven, the Prince of Asara, was the most prestigious person in the Asara region.

But Hafk did something quite different. Not only did he use the prince for experiments, but he also damaged the prince's brain. Doesn't he fear that the people of Asara will come after them if they find out?

"Um.................Uncle Deep Blue, why don't you take a look first? How should I put it, the situation inside the Tide Prison might be quite different from what we expected."

Zhang Hao also told Shen Lan to continue watching. At first, he and Luna were quite surprised to learn that Asara's side was not as united as they had imagined.

"Hmm? Is that so? Then let me read all of these first..."

Hearing Zhang Hao's words, Deep Blue continued watching. The situation wasn't what they expected? Shouldn't the people of Asara be united in their desire to drive out the Hafk regime?

As for the few people who were pretending to be dead on the sofa, their ears perked up when they saw what seemed to be new information on the faces of the others. Roy, who loved hearing this kind of news the most, looked at Wei Long to the side and nudged him, saying:

"Hey, your butt's fine now, hurry over there and see what's going on? There are some parts I didn't hear clearly, and I can't move right now. We're both counting on you, so go quickly."

Red Wolf: (Nods silently)

"666, are you deaf now? Neither of you should make a sound. You can't hear me, but I can hear you perfectly well. I'll tell you after I've finished listening. Besides, we can just take it after Deep Blue has finished reading it. You're always acting like a thief, that's why you get lectured every day."

Wei Long also gestured for the two who were still babbling in his ear to be quiet, indicating that these two guys were lying here like thieves, and even asked him to sneak over and gather information. This was really hopeless.

"What?! The situation on Asara's side is still like this? If that's the case, then the leaders of Asara's guard probably don't want Raven to come back and take control of the situation."

After reviewing all the information Zhang Hao had recorded, Shen Lan casually tossed it to the three people who were pretending to be dead on the sofa, then frowned and spoke to Zhang Hao.

"Hmm, and it seems that the old King Asara was killed by Yusef, the leader of the Asara Guard, right? It seems that these were the people who disapproved of the old king's cooperation with Hafk."

Zhang Hao thought about the background he had learned from playing the game, and combined it with what had happened since he came to this world. It seemed that the identity of this raven, whom he had never met before, was really very sensitive.

Hafk didn't intend to use Raven to blackmail Asara after he was arrested, probably because Hafk already knew about the status of Prince Asara in the hearts of most of the Asara people.

As for Asara, the situation was even worse. Most of those who joined Asara's guard probably didn't have any friendly thoughts about Prince Asara; in fact, one could say... the people of Asara probably wanted this raven dead.

"This...this is getting complicated. You see, Raven's identity is quite important. After all, Asara is different from other countries. This country still practices a hereditary system. Before Yousef completely unifies the land of Asara, Raven is the master of Asara."

"This... I need to go to headquarters for a meeting. This matter not only changes the nature of the mission, but it also shows that... our high-ranking officials have been corrupted beyond recognition. If Xiao Hao hadn't told us this, we might have handed Raven back to Asara after rescuing him."

"If we were to hand it over to Asara like that, the consequences would be unimaginable. Although Asara's system is very outdated and has aroused public resentment, Raven cannot be allowed to have any problems before Hafk withdraws from the Asara region."

After hearing Shenlan explain the importance of this matter, Zhang Hao and the others nodded. Shenlan then immediately took out his phone and booked a flight for tomorrow. It seems that the GTI has been completely destroyed by some bugs. They originally planned to finish dealing with things here before going back, but now it seems they can't wait any longer.

"Wow, looks like some people are doomed. Hey, have you finished watching Dragon yet? Hurry up and watch it, I haven't watched it yet."

When Roy saw this, he silently mourned for the high-ranking officials still at GTI headquarters. He figured that when Deep Blue returned, those dishonest people would be in trouble!

Chapter 492 Old Deng, are you leaving?

At dinner time, Shen Lan announced to everyone at the dinner table that he would be returning to headquarters the next day.
