"Yuanshan, are you stupid?...No!"

Amuro Tooru only complained for half a moment before abruptly stopping.

This time, the two looked at each other, seemingly exchanging a silent message.

Amuro Tooru recalled Yoruichi Toyama's frequent and elusive appearances.

Yoruichi Toyama also thought of certain people, such as Hajime-chan, who criticized her, saying, "Weren't you just over there a moment ago?"

Teleportation is impossible, and Yoruichi Toyama can't perform magic tricks.

……I see!

Magic... Ah! ...

Yoruichi Toyama suddenly grabbed Tooru Amuro's arm, as if afraid that he would also teleport away at any moment.

"Do you remember when we went to Moonshadow Island... Akemi back then..."

"You mean..." The laser beams in the hall reflected in Amuro Tooru's eyes, flashing with an eerie green light, "that 'Puppet Master from Hell' whom you've dealt with several times?"

"He's on Azure Island too?"

...

When Yoruichi Toyama found Akechi, he casually handed her a wristwatch-shaped ID.

"I got it for you," Akechi explained simply, noticing the seriousness between him and Amuro Tooru.

"After all, your personal information has already been entered, so it's not good to leave it there."

Yoruichi Toyama and Tooru Amuro exchanged a glance and nodded silently.

"So, you..."

The wise words were abruptly interrupted when all the lights in the room suddenly went out, plunging all the guests into darkness, with only the occasional glow of their cell phones visible.

The noise from the crowd quickly subsided, and at the same time, a bright spotlight focused on the stage at the front of the venue.

As the hatch on the stage floor opened, a huge cocoon-shaped cabin, nearly two meters high, slowly rose up, gleaming with a cool light symbolizing high technology.

"Wow!" Many people couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

Because some light had been restored, whispers could be heard one after another.

"Distinguished guests, what is being presented to you now is the 'cocoon' holographic ecological intelligent gaming pod developed by the Schindler Group..."

As the host introduced it, all eyes in the venue were drawn to that amazing game pod.

At the same time, a dark figure quickly slipped out of the hall along the wall at the back of the venue.

Just as she was about to speak, Yoruichi Toyama took a breath, turned around, and ran towards the gate.

"Yuanshan, what are you doing?"

Yoru Toyama didn't turn around when he heard Amuro Tooru's shout.

"I'm going to the restroom. You tell Mingzhi first!"

The puppeteer of hell, Takato Yoichi, is on the Azure Island.

Moreover, she dressed up as Yoruichi Toyama.

Therefore, he can freely enter and exit the Deep Blue Hotel, and even the press conference venue.

But he might not even be at the venue.

Yoruichi Toyama, who ran out of the lobby, was immediately dazzled by the bright lights in the corridor.

But he simply shielded his eyes with his arm and continued to follow the figure that was about to disappear.

That was President Schindler, who quietly slipped out as the presentation reached its climax.

He should go and carry out his murder plan.

...

After passing through several fire doors, the corridor became noticeably narrower.

This area is no longer the hotel's public space; it looks more like a preparation room for an event.

The numerous brightly colored cables on the wall indicate that this is a newly set up electronic control center.

Yoruichi Toyama took a deep breath and hid in a backlit corner before stepping into the corridor.

As President Schindler reached the room door, he turned around and cautiously surveyed the corridor.

As the figure swayed, Yoruichi Toyama had already seen the gleaming dagger in his hand.

Yes, there's no mistake, the person in the room must be Tadaaki Murakami, the chief engineer of the Cocoon game.

No one could have imagined that, on the eve of the release of this groundbreaking game, the group's president would personally kill his greatest contributor.

All of this was for that genius boy who died young...

President Schindler concealed the hand holding the dagger behind his back and knocked on the door with his other hand.

There was a response from inside, so he opened the door and went in.

Yoruichi Toyama no longer hesitated and ran quickly to the door.

The door closed right in front of him, and he could vaguely hear conversations coming from inside.

But after only a few sentences, it turned into a roar that was impossible to understand.

Yoruichi Toyama kicked the door open without hesitation.

After a loud bang, he saw something completely unexpected.

The knife that had just been in President Schindler's hand was now lying at his feet, not far from the door.

The CEO himself was clutching his arm, gritting his teeth, and sweating profusely.

Across from him stood Tadahiro Mura, a man who appeared dignified and refined, but who was clutching a steel pipe tightly in his hand, his eyes bloodshot, as if he had lost all reason.

"Mr. Mura!" Yoruichi Toyama called out, rushing forward to shield President Schindler behind her.

Although he hadn't figured out why, it was clear that if he had been a step later, the steel pipe from the village would have smashed down on the head of the person who intended to kill him.

With a clang.

Despite being a combat specialist with a cheat code on the system, the steel pipe still made Toyama Yoru's entire arm go numb.

"you!……"

Tadaaki Murakami's eyes turned even redder, as if dripping blood.

"Mr. Toyama, please move aside!"

"You saw it too, he came to kill me!"

"I was acting in self-defense!"

"I'm going to kill this hypocritical, sanctimonious man!..."
