Looking at Morningstar's beaming face, which clearly said, 'You'll definitely love this,' Wise didn't have the heart to refuse. In any case, it was all for the sake of quickly raising his Net rank, and the tasks she gave him were all child's play. So, after he agreed to take the commission, Morningstar wasn't surprised at all, because this one was even simpler than the last. But she still reminded him with great concern to be careful and not get hurt. He responded with a confident smile.
After returning home, Wise originally planned to contact the client first. Although the commission wasn't for today, contacting them in advance would seem more professional. However, at that moment, he suddenly received a message on his phone. It was from Corin, and the content was a video.
Wise, puzzled by the video's thumbnail, clicked on it and was momentarily stunned. In the video was a group of children, and among them was a familiar red-haired figure. Although she was wearing an elementary school uniform and a panda-ear headband, with her long red hair tied into two ponytails, most of it still hung loosely down her back. Even so, he recognized her as Corin at a glance.
Confused, he then saw Grace appear in the video, dressed as a teacher and holding a box of pineapple buns!
"What... what am I seeing? Corin and Grace, wearing clothes I've never seen before, in an elementary school classroom..." Wise was still reeling from the shock of the video. If this wasn't a mistaken slip of the finger, then what was the reason for sending this video specifically to him?
Belle, noticing that something was off with her brother's expression, came over and rested her head on his shoulder, watching the video with him. Just then, there was a series of urgent knocks on the door.
Hearing the sound, Wise immediately got up to open it. Sure enough, it was Corin who entered.
"Brother just told me that Corin in a school uniform is very cute," was the first thing Belle said upon seeing Corin.
The latter immediately blushed. "Wh-what are you talking about, Belle? Why would you suddenly say that..."
While shy, Corin secretly glanced at Wise, who nodded frankly. "Mhm, it is very cute." He had indeed subconsciously said that after watching the video, and had also thought it would be nice to see Corin wear that outfit at home. It would surely be very interesting... (Deleted).
However, Corin wasn't thinking along those lines at the moment. She cleared her throat twice to regain her composure. "Setting that aside, from the looks of it, you've seen that video, right?"
"Mhm, that's right. My brother and I have both saved it and were just about to forward it to our friends!" Belle's mischievous tone made Corin's defenses crumble again. The thought of other people seeing her in that video, possibly including Wise's other girls...
"No! Absolutely not!" After warning Belle, Corin couldn't help but grit her teeth. "It's all Anton's fault. He sent the video without permission, saying it would be faster to understand by watching. But I guess it's good if it helps you understand the situation a little."
Although Corin said this, she was actually happy because Wise had called her cute.
"To put it bluntly, I want to commission you to help me investigate an associated Hollow in that school."
Hearing that a Hollow was involved, the siblings' expressions instantly turned serious. To be honest, they had thought Corin might have come because of the chorus performance in the plaza mentioned in the video. Although they knew it was unlikely, it would have been great if they could have gotten a recording of Corin singing in the chorus...
Corin then briefly explained the situation to them. Belobog Heavy Industries had taken on the renovation project for the elementary school in the video. But during the final inspection, Corin discovered a newly appeared associated Hollow near the site. The Hollow was located in an abandoned parking lot outside the construction area. Although it had only just appeared, if left uncontrolled, it could spread to the school building.
Corin had also reminded the school principal that it was best to report the Hollow to the city for handling, but that's when things got strange. The principal didn't report it to the city, nor did he apply for Hollow compensation. Instead, he settled the final payment for the project the very next day!
Corin was very surprised by this. In all their years of doing construction, they had never seen a client who didn't delay the final payment. It was as if they didn't want Belobog Heavy Industries to interfere in this matter any further.
Although by industry practice, Corin and her team had no reason to intervene anymore since the project had passed inspection, and the construction company would not be responsible for any subsequent impact from Hollow disasters. But if the Hollow really did affect the school building, the children and teachers in the school could be in danger. It was precisely because of this that Corin couldn't let it go and wanted to investigate.
"It seems there is indeed a need to investigate what's happening in that Hollow."
"That's right, Wise. I knew you'd understand what I want to do right away. For various reasons, my sister and I have to go undercover at the school to get close to the only usable entrance to the Hollow. Anton helped us get our foot in the door. I moved my daily business, which I couldn't offload to Ben, to be handled at night..."
Speaking of this, Corin suddenly perked up, a hint of relief in her voice. "Now we finally have a chance to act. The time is set for a few days from now, during the off-campus practical class at Guangying Plaza."
On that day, the students and teachers would leave the school for the plaza. Even if the Hollow went out of control unexpectedly, the damage could be minimized.
Since Corin had laid it all out, the siblings had every reason to agree. The only regrettable thing was that they wouldn't get to see Corin perform in the chorus in her school uniform. Oh well, I'll just ask her to perform for me privately later. If I ask seriously, with Corin's personality, she'll definitely agree, right?
Wise thought to himself, his gaze fixed on Corin in front of him. This made her feel a little strange, as if she were a little panda being stared at by a hungry wolf.
"Are you in a hurry to go back now, Corin?"
"Not particularly. Wise, you..." Corin couldn't fail to understand the meaning in Wise's words. But even if she wasn't in a hurry, she couldn't stay the night here for certain reasons.
So, after dinner and staying for another hour or so, she left.
