Both incident reports were written in great detail, with every time node recorded clearly and meticulously.
"Who is this god of death?" Although Jean Stardust was already accustomed to seeing many familiar names, the term god of death piqued Jean Stardust's curiosity, especially since it was written as acting god of death · Shiraori.
"The god of death is the leader of the first three affiliate worlds, namely the god of death · Wenjia, the god of death · Death, and now the second-generation Kid, while the last position is currently vacant. Lady Shiraori once held this position for a short time. However, the world represented by this vacancy is managed by Lady 'D', so it doesn't matter if it's vacant."
Jean Stardust nodded and continued reading the remaining investigation reports.
This investigation report was much simpler than the incident records. The first report showed that the previous detection point had once again discovered that kind of wavelength and the activities of the demon race.
The date on the second one was last night, and the content was the results of the second investigation: the demon race had selected a new king and was very likely to make a comeback.
Seeing that Jean Stardust had finished reading, Meitu said to Jean Stardust: "Please express your opinions at the upcoming meeting. All attendees are our own people, so there is no need to fear making mistakes."
"I understand."

Inside the first internal conference room, several people had already arrived before the scheduled time and were talking.
"Have you heard? The one sitting in the main seat at this meeting is the new acting Lord of the Underworld. It seems to be... uh... oh right, Lady Jean Stardust! By the way, have you met her?"
The white-haired girl chattered incessantly to the wolf-girl Holo beside her.
"I have met her once, Koko, but we didn't have any conversation, so I don't know her very well. I only know that she is a personage who looks very noble."
Holo replied to Koko's question without lifting her head, while writing something in a notebook.
"A successor of noble blood..." the young man wrapped in a gray robe muttered to himself.
"I advise you not to harbor any bad thoughts. Moreover, being a retainer to that personage is not an easy matter. As far as I know, within just two months, she has already faced the incarnations of two Cthulhu-style evil gods and achieved victory both times."
The young boy wearing a deep blue aristocratic formal suit took a sip from the teacup in front of him with an amiable smile.
"No, you misunderstood. I was just sighing. But to actually be a Cthulhu-style evil god, that really is deadly," the young man quickly explained.
"But, a retainer of that personage... if possible, I would really like to dissect one to see, hahaha."
The man wearing round glasses and a white lab coat laughed wildly. Beside him, a mature woman also wearing a white lab coat moved her chair away, simultaneously speaking to distance herself:
"I have absolutely nothing to do with this guy."
"Sigh, you guys from the Research Department are really scary, meow. By the way, hasn't she arrived yet? Morning is my rest time, meow. I hate having meetings during rest time, meow!"
Just then, the door was pushed open, and Meitu and Jean Stardust walked in.

Led by Miss Meitu, Jean Stardust walked into the conference room. Although the interior decoration style was quite magnificent, the layout was no different from an ordinary conference room.
There was a board with display functions, and opposite it was a row of long tables. The table had a main seat, and many people were already seated separately on both sides.
Basically, they were all unfamiliar faces; the only one she definitely recognized was Holo.
She had more or less an impression of the others. The strangest thing was that there was actually a cat sitting directly on the table, which seemed to have been saying something just now, and it quickly shut its mouth upon seeing her enter.
Following Meitu's guidance, Jean Stardust sat down in the main seat. The others also stopped what they were doing and began to look over.
"This is the newly appointed acting Lord of the Underworld, Lady Jean Stardust. You must already know the details. Please introduce yourselves and the responsibilities of your respective departments to Lady Jean Stardust."
After everyone nodded, a young man of about 20 years old sitting closest stood up, took off his cloak's hood to reveal his purple hair, bowed, and said:
"Chief of the First Administration Office, Riku Dola. The First Administration Office is the department that determines strategic direction and implements it specifically. At the same time, the First Administration Office also issues planning proposals for equipment research and development and external expansion."
After Riku, the little young master wearing a very conspicuous blue aristocratic outfit performed a standard aristocratic salute toward Jean Stardust:
"Chief of the Second Administration Office, Ciel Phantomhive. Please treat me well. Our Second Administration Office is responsible for intelligence; whether it is external intelligence, internal intelligence, or disciplinary rectification, all are our business."
Then, after the young master adjusted his seat position, specifically moving a bit further away from the cat, he sat back down. During this time, the cat on the table spoke.
"Deputy Chief of the Third Administration Office, Humphrey Applebee, meow. The Chief, Hozuki, has an external mission, so I came, meow. Please take care of me, meow. If this continues, I can replace Hozuki and become the Chief, meow!"
"Lord Hozuki went to complete Lady Jean Stardust's mission," the young master said gloomily from the side.
"Ah? Is that so? Then my dream is shattered, meow." It felt a bit dejected, but quickly perked up again: "By the way, the Third Administration Office is responsible for daily management, facility construction, and the like. In short, for internal management, just come to me, meow."
After Meow, there were two girls; one was Holo, and the other was a girl with long white hair.
"Deputy Chief of the Fourth Administration Office, Holo. The Fourth Administration Office is a professional department responsible for all matters related to negotiations, and I am personally responsible for negotiations regarding commercial exchanges."
"Third Seat of the Fourth Administration Office, Koko Hekmatyar. I am specifically responsible for negotiating with 'not-so-friendly' targets." Koko made a gesture of firing a gun.
"Where is your person in charge?" Miss Meitu asked.
"Count D said he went to open a shop, and left the rest to us. Sorry..." Holo lowered her head, not daring to look at Meitu.
"Forget it, remember to tell him that he won't have a salary this year."
"I must remind you, meow, Count D's salary for the last ten years has already been deducted." The cat on the side raised its hand, looking very happy to hear about deducting someone's salary.
"Uh, I will handle his affairs. Let's continue." Meitu covered her head; indeed, anyone with such subordinates would get a headache.
"Research Department, Akagi Ritsuko. I should explain that in the Research Department, everyone is responsible for their own projects, so there is no such thing as a person in charge. Today, it just so happened that this guy beside me and I were free, so we were called over to serve as consultants."
"Franken Stein. I didn't expect that Kid's actions would have sequelae; it's really interesting." Franken spun his chair around, looking very happy.
Only then did Jean Stardust notice that her chair was actually brought by herself; everyone else had ordinary four-legged stools.
"Then let us begin, regarding the crisis countermeasures for this Affiliate Zone No. 45." Meitu said the opening remarks.
