Chapter 71: Rina Cortez (1)
After the cheerful meal, we regrouped in the central control room.
Luna and Celine had already left with Victor’s team to leisurely tour the rest of Seoul Dino Park’s facilities.
At the center of the control room’s massive holograph display, data that Ember and Scarlet had compiled in a short time was now projected.
Glitch Alley.
That strange place Celine had mentioned—where people kept vanishing.
The screen showed satellite imagery of Glitch Alley, as well as a calculated estimate of the number of disappearances based on backtracked CCT-core logs from the surrounding area.
There was also intel going back years, suggesting the Steel Juggernauts gang had claimed an abandoned factory district there as their base of operations.
However, appended to that was a recent note: no sightings of Steel Juggernauts members had been recorded for the past several months.
It hadn’t been long since we received the tip, but just from the sheer volume of data and the meticulous way it had been organized, it was clear how hard Aria and Scarlet had worked on this.
Ember pointed at the holograph and spoke.
“Thanks to the info Celine gave us, we’ve got a solid lead on a pretty shady place. The sudden vanishing of the Steel Juggernauts gang—and the disappearances happening one after another. There’s definitely something going on.”
It seemed Ember was making good use of the urban myth of the “Pizza Demon” spreading through Babel, using it to gather underground intel she normally wouldn’t have access to.
