"As for the United Nations' procedures, we can do something to get the ghoul investigation approved quickly, but as for the island nation's officials..."
When Shim said this, he turned his head and looked at Tachibana Kirika.
At this time, Ju Kirika looked at the detailed address record in the notebook in front of her, narrowed her eyes and said:
"It's too late."
"They are a group of beasts that have eaten humans. We cannot guarantee that they will endure hunger honestly."
"Oh, if a mass murder of an abnormal race occurred under our noses."
Tachibana Kirika didn't say much about the second half of the sentence, but it was obviously not something good.
"So, we need to find a way to make most of the ghouls postpone their hunting time..."
Luo Shu touched his chin, and then said with a rather subtle look:
"Perhaps, we can consider other methods."
"For example, providing a 'last meal' to the ghouls."
Chapter 60: Ghouls may die from lack of funds
After the waiter with the tray left.
"The last meal..."
Ju Wuxiang finally couldn't hold back any longer and looked at Luo Shu with a rather strange expression.
Could it be that this guy wants SDS to provide human corpses to ghouls as food supplements so that they don't attack ordinary citizens while they apply to the United Nations for 'ghoul extermination'?
What kind of black joke is this?
Unlike Tachibana Kirika, Shim seemed to have thought of something and looked a little hesitant:
"Making fake bodies? Like cloning people?"
"No, the cloning technology of the scientific research department is not yet mature. If we provide food for 2 ghouls, the funds will not be enough."
“Is this a matter of funding?”
Luo Shu suddenly felt that Shim, who said this, was really scary.
In order to prevent her from thinking of more terrifying things, Luo Shu immediately raised his hand, revealing the Vongola ring on the back of his hand.
Bear!
The indigo mist flame was ignited by Luo Shu's spirit.
A hazy fog appeared, and then a "corpse" with the appearance of Kogoro Mori appeared in front of the three people.
"This is?"
Shim and Tachibana Kirika were stunned when they saw this scene for the first time.
"The flame of death also has the function of creating fake corpses?" asked Tachibana Kirika with a curious look on her face.
"To be precise, it is the Death Flame of the Mist. It has the ability to construct false objects. Of course, the appearance and interior are the same as those of a normal corpse."
"But as long as I withdraw the Death Flame..."
Luo Shu waved his hand, and Maori Kogoro on the ground disappeared without a trace.
“This thing will just disappear.”
"....This, are you sure it's not a scam?"
Ju Wuxiang looked at Luo Shu with a rather subtle expression.
You're going too far by giving ghouls fake 18-ounce candies as their last meal.
"Wow!! Mist Flame actually has this effect!?"
Shim clasped his hands together and said with a look of surprise:
"Then can you make a you according to your body proportions, Luo Shu, so that I can take you home?"
"My house is in need of a pillow recently~ Oh, by the way, remember to remove the lower half, otherwise if I see your face before going to bed at night, it will be bad if I do something bad."
"Hey, is there something wrong with your idea? Do you want to use me as a massager?"
Luo Shu looked speechlessly at the naughty girl who winked at him, and sighed:
"Although the corpse constructed by the Mist Flame is fake, because the Death Flame is the embodiment of life force, it is still possible to satisfy the hunger of the ghoul for a short period of time."
"Can it be located?" Shim asked suddenly.
Hearing this, Luo Shu looked up at Shim, and seeing that smiling face, he chuckled:
"I really can't hide it from you."
"I see."
Tachibana Kirika immediately understood Luo Shu's idea, and used the Mist Flame to create a fake corpse and gave it to the ghoul to comfort him, and also to locate him, and then catch him all in one fell swoop:
"So the trouble is how to make the ghouls think these corpses are harmless."
As Ju Wuxiang spoke, she clicked on the whitelists on Luo Shu's file and smiled:
"Are these people on the white list your helpers?"
"The SSS-rank ghoul 'Owl', whose real name is Yoshimura Kousen, is the father of the 'One-Eyed King', the recognized king of ghouls. He runs a force called 'Anting District' that provides assistance to ghouls, and has great prestige among ghouls."
When Luo Shu said this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly:
"We can use his name to distribute free 'food' to ghouls."
"Snow White's red apple~" Shim said with a mischievous smile: "Then Luo Shu, aren't you the evil queen?"
"What about you, the king?" Luo Shu couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Hey, should I be the king? That seems like a good idea."
Hearing Shim's words, Luo Shu laughed and looked at Ju Kirika who was still reading the report.
Noticing Luo Shu's gaze, Ju Wuxiang looked at him meaningfully and said:
"This plan is indeed feasible. Haha, the most troublesome thing is the addresses of these ghouls in Tokyo. But I didn't expect you to be able to identify the addresses of 20,000 people. You are really good at this."
"Lacus shouldn't have let you be the director of the Secret Management Department. You should have been sent to the Intelligence Department."
Hearing this, Xim put his index finger on his chin and said seriously: "If it is Luo Shu, I can give way."
"It's useless to say this now. The key is to deal with the ghoul issue properly."
As Luo Shu spoke, he scooped a spoonful of Snoopy chocolate and put it into his mouth.
The taste was indeed mellow, and since he didn't have to pay for it, it tasted even sweeter.
"How long will it take for the United Nations to approve it?"
"If you go through special channels..."
Shim glanced at Luo Shu's laptop, thinking about the completeness of the information in it, and felt that it would not be difficult to pass:
"It will take about two days. It's 11 o'clock in Tokyo now, and it's about 23 o'clock in Washington at night. If we directly apply for a review by the special investigation committee, it will probably take 15 hours to get a response."
"As for Tokyo, the official information will be received at 10 . tomorrow morning, as per usual practice."
Having said that, Shim looked at Ju Kirika and signaled her with his eyes.
After all, she could remotely control the process on the official side in Washington, but among the officials in Tokyo, only Tachibana Kirika had the most contact with her.
"Given the efficiency of those gigolos, it's considered good if they can respond within three days."
"That means the minimum is 4 days, which is a bit tight. Can it be compressed to 2 days?"
Luo Shu ate chocolate and looked at Ju Wuxiang:
"After all, this is the first incident I've participated in since becoming the department head. Can't you give me some face, Director?"
Ju Wuxiang looked at Luo Shu's smiling face, paused and said:
"Since you've said so, I'll make some arrangements to make Minister Fujiwara the Minister of Review."
Luo Shu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and asked curiously: "Who is Minister Fujiwara? Why must it be him?"
Ju Kirika rolled her eyes and said unhappily:
"Because only this minister cares about his daughter, do you understand?"
Luo Shu's mouth twitched, and while he complained that Ju Wuxiang's method was too wild, he also smacked his lips and said:
"Isn't this method acceptable to Lux?"
At this time, Tachibana Kirika smiled and asked back:
"Then do you think she will approve the plan to massacre 20,000 ghouls?"
"Or to put it another way, there are a certain number of 'irrelevant people' among ghouls. Given Lacus's personality, she will definitely consider the solution of 'light sentences for lighter ones and heavier sentences for heavier ones'."
“But it’s also in your report.”
When Tachibana Kirika said this, her tone became grim:
"Wild Emperor determined that the targeted transformation of ghouls requires a 'specially made adjuster potion'. Taking into account the one-time equipment transformation and the cost of the potion, one potion would cost about 'three million US dollars', an average of 400 million yen per potion."
"If we want to reduce costs, we can only manufacture on a large scale, that is, at least one hundred thousand level potions. But there are only twenty thousand ghouls, so no matter what, it can't be considered a large-scale production."
"And among the ghouls, if there are only a thousand people on the 'white list' who can be saved, then the cost will become 400 billion yen, which is equivalent to 3 billion US dollars."
"This does not include the losses caused by the scientific research department being diverted to carry out the transformation, and the subsequent placement of these 'genetically modified' people."
"Haha, not to mention America, the island countries are eyeing our special gene adjustment technology. The subsequent resettlement is estimated to be more troublesome than the 3 billion funds consumed."
"And in order to ensure that the technology is not leaked, we have to pay for this. You know what these expenses mean."
Luo Shu sighed and said what Ju Wuxiang wanted to say:
"The flow of funds on behalf of SDS will be disrupted, leading to a crisis of internal collapse..."
"So, you understand?"
Ju Wuxiang said to Luo Shu in a gentle and persuasive manner:
"Lux's personality is like this, and I don't expect her to change. But as her man, you need to take responsibility sometimes."
Shim on the side was drinking juice leisurely, as if he heard nothing.
"Does this mean I'm Lux's man?"
At this moment, Luo Shu didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Although Luo Shu was somewhat happy that the two ministers in SDS supported him to become the husband of the Supreme Speaker, the issue of money was indeed a big problem.
Perhaps, from the very beginning, saving ghouls was impossible.
Unless someone is willing to pay for the ghoul, but the only ones who can afford the price are the officials of various countries, this problem suddenly becomes unsolvable.
Luo Shu actually understood what Ju Wuxiang meant.
That is, they worked together to deal with the ghoul without telling Lacus.
To put it simply, it means to be strict and severe, and kill the ghouls to the point where these department heads can bear the consumption of the 'white list'.
Based on the calculation that one thousand people would require three billion US dollars, Luo Shu might want to reduce the number to less than one hundred, or even less.
Perhaps, fifty is a reasonable number... One hundred and fifty million US dollars, the money he made from the funeral industry this time is enough... Thinking of this, Luo Shu pondered for a moment, then knocked on the table and said:
"I will try my best to reduce the whitelist, but I need your cooperation with the island country's officials."
Having said this, Luo Shu paused and said to Ju Wuxiang:
"It would be best if we could defraud some funds."
Ju Kirika raised the corner of her mouth, with a confident look on her face: "Don't worry, I am definitely more familiar with this than you."
"In that case, leave the report with me for polishing and then hand it in."
As Shim spoke, he took the notebook and said with a smile:
"Whether it's the report for Lux or the report for the United Nations and the island country officials, I will take care of it."
The Intelligence Department, the Secret Management Department, and the Operations Department are working together, but the first purpose is to deceive the Supreme Speaker? What kind of operation is this?
Luo Shu complained in his heart, and then he couldn't help but ask Shim:
