Chapter 312: The Ash-gray Girl (4)
James Tower on the outskirts of Songpa District, Golden-Mecha-Tyranno Armor Assembly Factory.
In the tightly sealed assembly room, robot arms controlled by AI were efficiently assembling the Tyranno’s armor.
Hop hop.
The Golden Reapers had stealthily entered the assembly room using ghostification and were hopping around, watching with delighted expressions.
James was enjoying a rare moment of relaxation in the control room, looking down at the Golden Reapers skillfully dodging the robot arms as they observed.
A warm cup of coffee and a sweet dessert.
It was a sweet respite for James, who had been working tirelessly, cutting back on sleep to repair and improve the Golden-Mecha-Tyranno Armor.
James’s Golden Reaper was also sitting on the table, nibbling on a cookie.
Of course, the Golden Reaper had tried to drink coffee too, but after a few attempts, it had given up entirely.
So James’s Golden Reaper report also contained related information.
<Sticks out tongue for about 1 minute after eating, dislikes it enough to curl its tongue.>
<Same coffee experiment conducted on 1,000 random Golden Reapers, but the same result was obtained.>
At the bottom of the report was a photo of James being swarmed by a thousand Golden Reapers giving him a scolding.
At that moment, news of a missing person case began to flow from the TV that had been playing in the background.
[On the 15th, an elementary school girl went missing. The CCTV footage obtained by the police clearly shows the girl’s expression as if she had witnessed something shocking.]
[The police traced the girl’s movements based on the CCTV footage, but at some point, her whereabouts became unclear.]
[As a result, the police believe this case may not be a simple disappearance but could be related to an ‘Object’, and have requested cooperation from the Object Council.]
The TV showed the image of a girl looking around in panic.
It seemed like a fairly common type of Object incident.
James was slowly sipping his coffee, trying to push the incident to the back of his mind, when suddenly a report he had seen recently came to mind.
‘Wait, this seems familiar…’
James rummaged through the pile of reports scattered on the table and pulled out an old report.
<Case Number: 2xxx-xxxx-xxx>
<Reporter: Kim Nam-su (Male, 45 years old)>
<Report Content: Mr. Kim Nam-su reported that he witnessed an ‘Object’ hiding near a road in Songpa District, Seoul, around 3 PM on x/x/2xxx. Mr. Kim was in extreme fear and showed strong conviction about what he had seen.>
- Immediately dispatched to the scene for investigation after receiving the report.
- No traces of an Object were found at the scene.
- Mr. Kim Nam-su quickly regained composure when he returned to the scene to confirm, and stated that his report was likely a misunderstanding.
- At the request of the police, James Research Institute conducted a separate investigation, but again, no traces of an Object were found.
Conclusion:
- Based on the on-site investigation and additional investigation by James Research Institute, Mr. Kim Nam-su's report is deemed to be a misunderstanding.
- No traces of an Object were found, and Mr. Kim himself corrected that his report was likely a misunderstanding.
- Accordingly, this case is closed.
It seemed to be a report that had little to do with the girl’s disappearance.
‘But it’s in the same area, with similar panic-stricken behavior.’
James picked up the report with a serious expression.
It looks like this needs to be investigated.
