Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 138 Information Dissemination

Chapter 138 Information Dissemination

The first thing that she had to do was to edit out all the parts that included her and any clues that may lead to her identity.

However, before she could edit, she needed to clean everything up. Everything means the puss, blood and flesh that was spread out around her ’lab’.

After spending a few minutes of freezing and destroying the mess, Shiro pressed her palm against her table and created a laptop.

Her first task was to shorten the recording so that it was just a few seconds long. All she needed in the recording was the moments when the person’s body would have the most drastic changes.

"Hmm... What if I made it so that each hour is 2 seconds long and change it into real-time at the 10-hour mark, 20-hour mark and at the 24th-hour mark." She muttered whilst her finger tapped away on the laptop.

"But I did pause it for the last few hours since I was having fun." She frowned.

Eventually settling with the idea of edited the entire film to only show small sections every four hours, Shiro didn’t take long to create 4 ch.i.p.s that held the recordings along with the maps and the intel she had gathered.

"Right then, the first stop will be the government building then the three big families." Shiro muttered as she brought the map up and checked the locations of each of them.

’The closest building to me is the government building followed by the Casadan Family, Sermak Family and finally the Ospar Family. Hardest for last huh?’ She thought in slight humour whilst preparing herself to break into a government building.

"Yin, you go back to the tent for now. The next part is dangerous and would be hard if I have you with me."

Yin thought for a moment before nodding and flew away. As harsh as it was, Yin was a slight hindrance for her next mission. Not to mention, in a situation where she may potentially fight level 60’s, she would rather not look after Yin whilst trying to fight.

Making sure that her face was covered with the face mask and hood, Shiro exited the building and started to make her way to the Cairosa Government Skyscr.a.p.er.

The Skyscr.a.p.er was around 75 stories tall and wasn’t hard to miss when she looked towards the city.

Glancing around to make sure that no one could see her, Shiro flicked her wrist and sent a hook upwards.

*Clack

It latched onto the side of the building and started to reel Shiro upwards while she used Shadow Cloak to keep herself hidden.

Using two hooks to climb towards the top, she was able to traverse the side of the building quickly.

She checked on each of the floors she passed on and found what seemed to be the main office on the 70th floor.

’Hmm... They have 5 floors spare. Curious.’

Looking up at the five floors above her, Shiro grinned and decided to peek over the window ledges.

On the 71st floor, Shiro saw a man who seemed like he was in his late 40’s. While his face held some wrinkles, his body was muscular and compact with muscle.

[Arthur LVL 75 – Arcane Warrior]

’Aiya, so he’s one of those geezers that stay in low-level cities huh?’ Shiro mused.

The problem with people like him was the fact that they couldn’t face monsters of equal level or higher level for them to level up. In which case, it meant that they slowly succ.u.mbed to their life spans.

Her interest instantly waned since she had no curiosity regarding people who couldn’t level up anymore at this low of a level.

However, even though her interest had waned, she still checked out what the other four floors contained.

’A level 76, 78, 73 and 79 huh? Well I suppose in a city where the dungeons only go up to 60, they can be called powerhouses.’ Shiro thought whilst climbing down the skyscr.a.p.er.

Kicking her body off the side of the building, Shiro entered the rift and phased through the window with ease.

"Now, where shall I leave this." She muttered while looking around. She wanted to make sure that the files are the first thing the governor sees.

Thinking for a short moment, she decided to just leave it on the desk with a short note.

Of course, she took precautions to make sure that it couldn’t be traced back to her.

Nodding in satisfaction, Shiro jumped out the window and made her way to the Casadan Family.

When she arrived, she had to avoid quite a few Casadan Guards that were patrolling outside the building.

’Seems like they’re on high alert.’ Shiro thought with a frown. Her guess was that they were taking extra steps to make sure that the heir of the family is safe. Especially with the fact that she was injured to the point of a coma during the battle on auction night.

Unsure of the floor print of this mansion since it was less straightforward when compared to the skyscr.a.p.er, Shiro balanced herself on the ledges and scouted out the mansion.

"Young Miss, you shouldn’t be up at this time. Master has specifically told you to rest well for a period of time."

"Tsk, the healers have already healed me. Tell my old man I’m fine." A young voice replied in annoyance.

"Young miss, be careful of your tone and speak."

"We’re not outside. Why do I need to care about appearances?"

’Hm? Doesn’t that voice belong to Alura Casadan?’ Shiro thought and peeked over the edge of the window. She saw Alura in a nightgown while two maids were following her.

"Even so, as a member of the Casadan Family, one must keep up their appearance at all times."

"Like I care about that in the house. Didn’t a few of our scouts bring back a tube filled with drugs? Why isn’t my old man doing anything about it?" She glared at the maids.

"All of us know that the drug is highly dangerous from the rumours we’ve heard. If we don’t make a move, a lot of people will die." She continued.

"It’s not that the master doesn’t want to make a move but rather he can’t young miss. He simply doesn’t have enough evidence and they don’t know what the drug does either. While rumours can be a source of intel, it is highly questionable." The maid bowed.

"... Arg!" Alura cried out in anger and punched the wall.

"Coward!" She cursed.

"Better safe than sorry is it not? Or has the old man gotten senile?! Is he seriously debating about whether or not he should save lives." She gritted her teeth.

’So Alura Casadan wants to make a move against the slums but her father doesn’t want to huh? Interesting...’ Shiro thought with a small smile. If she tipped Alura with the intel, she should be able to let her convince her father to mobilise the Casadan family. As for the explanation on where she obtained the info, she could just say her scouts or secret agents attained the info.

Following behind the group, Shiro kept herself hidden outside of the mansion.

Eventually, the maids convinced Alura to give up for now. Watching her stomp back to her bedroom, Shiro phased through the walls and hid herself in one of the corners.

"Urg! What to do..." Alura scratch her head in annoyance as she walked around her room impatiently.

As for Shiro, she couldn’t reveal herself since it increases the chances of revealing her identity.

However, an idea suddenly struck her mind as she pressed her palms against the floor and activated Cold Illusions.

Alura instantly went on guard when she realised her surroundings had changed. A paper note suddenly drifted in front of her as she grabbed it and read what it said.

[Do you wish to make a move against the drugs that the Ivory Cobra is making?]

Furrowing her brows, Alura created a ball of flames.

"Who’s there?" She asked cautiously.

[It doesn’t matter.]

[What matters is what you want to do.]

"Heh, what can a girl like me do?" Alura retorted whilst keeping an eye out for who ever was doing this.

[You can use the intel I have gathered to mobilise the Casadan Family in order to eradicate the three factions currently resting in the slums.]

"Hou? And what intel will that be?"

[Doesn’t matter if I tell you since I plan on distributing this to the other families. Of course, if you guys don’t make a move, I suppose revealing everything to the city and causing mass panic is also an option in getting rid of this plague.]

"For something that seems to be of good intentions, aren’t you being a little careless with the lives of people?" Alura narrowed her eyes.

[In moments like these, a few sacrifices are bound to happen. If you think about it, the casualties probably already shot through the roof during the development phase of this drug. But I have no more time to waste on you. Either you use this data and avoid mass panic, or I can release this data all over this city and force everyone to move against the slums. Your call.]

Alura didn’t say anything since the illusion had already faded away. In front of her laid all the notes and two data ch.i.p.s.

"Seems like the notes are for proof..." She muttered. Unfortunately, the notes seemed like they were printed off so they couldn’t track the handwriting back to someone.

Looking at the two data ch.i.p.s, Alura gave in to her curiosity and opened her spare laptop in case of viruses.

Looking at all the maps and concise information on all the factions along with what they were working on in the dark, Alura couldn’t help but widen her eyes. While there were some parts where it was undiscovered, just this alone was more than what her scouts had found.

As for the second chip, it contained a video file labelled: Consequences of the drug.

With the title being self-explanatory, Alura watched it seriously. Even though the video was only a minute long, each passing second caused her complexion to worsen.

Taking a deep breath, Alura had to calm herself since the drug was worse than she had thought.

"No this cannot wait any longer." Alura stood up and grabbed the two data ch.i.p.s. Making sure to take the notes with her, she stormed out of her room.

"Young-"

"Shut up. Tell my old man I need a talk with him. This is serious." Alura shut her maid up instantly.

Flinching from her commanding tone, the maid could only obey.

Meanwhile, Shiro was currently making her way to the Sermak Family.

However, unlike what she had to do with Alura, all that she needed to do was leave the data on the family head’s desk. It was easy since he had just gone to the toilet.

"And now the Ospar Family..." Shiro muttered outside of the Sermak Family Mansion.

She had previously been to the Ospar Family due to the fact that she had bought the access to the Mana Springs.

Back then, she had seen the defences of the building and wasn’t sure if she could sneak her way inside without being found. Even if she used rift walker, she may accidentally activate another formation and send the entire building on high alert.

"I’ll find out when I get there I suppose." She shrugged slightly.

Upon arriving at the mansion, Shiro started to observe the mansion and saw that all the runes were glowing with a soft red light.

"Hmm... what a pain." She frowned.

"Well if it works, it works. If it doesn’t then never mind."

Crouching down, Shiro narrowed her eyes and made a break for the mansion.

Avoiding the patrols, she stepped on the grass.

*Krrrr~

A formation slowly lit up below her as she instantly started to analyse the patterns and check what kind of formation this was.

’Attack Type Spell. Fire Arrow and Fire Wire based methods.’ She thought, just reading the basic information about the formation.

Twisting her body so that she was almost parallel with the ground, Shiro avoided three rows of Fire Wires that cut towards her along with some Fire Arrows.

Rift Walker!

Making her way pass the formation using the memorised layout she had recorded the moment the formation activated, she reappeared on the edge of the formation.

Jumping up, she activated Rift Walker a few more times to avoid the formations and hid herself on the roof.

Watching the guards rush towards the formation, Shiro narrowed her eyes when she saw Gilbert. He was the Mystic Knight Apprentice that had escorted her to the Mana Springs the first time she had been here.

He crouched down near where she had stepped on the grass and frowned. Tracing her steps, his frown only deepened since the steps were too far apart.

’What could have made these steps?’ He wondered to himself. If the intruder had jumped in the air, the formation would have easily shot them to death. But from what had happened, the formation seemed to lose the target for a short moment before finding them again.

"Increase the security measures. Do not and I mean DO NOT let our masters come to harm." He ordered as the guards nodded their heads.

Looking around him at the formations that failed to stop the invader, he frowned before re-entering the mansion.
