But its owner was not Mizuki Ryu no Chū, who had attended the Imperial University, but that inconspicuous little girl, Nagoku Shūki.
Her computer login name is MIKOTO (巫琴).
...
Yoruichi Toyama was not surprised to learn that the shamanic zither of that country had been found so quickly.
In other words, he knew this moment had arrived as soon as he learned that Mingzhi would use the computer to track down the hacker who had made the intrusion.
Based on his experience in the 21st century, it took him a bit too long.
Regardless, capturing three terrorists by dawn is a truly remarkable achievement.
Even President Schindler, who was crying and begging to hold the press conference as scheduled, probably didn't expect that not only was the crisis in the hotel resolved, but they actually caught the person.
Yoruichi Toyama couldn't be bothered to comment on those capitalists' ostrich mentality of "if it didn't happen, it doesn't exist."
It's strange that Mingzhi doesn't pay any attention to Wuqin, a computer expert.
“I heard those three have been shouting and talking nonsense since they were brought back, and they haven’t stopped yet,” Mingzhi replied casually to his question, “I’m not going to ask.”
"Shouting and yelling?" Yoru Toyama paused for a moment, looking at Inspector Shiratori who had brought people back.
Inspector Shiratori was surprisingly serious, nodding as he said, "They keep saying, 'When the planetary Grand Cross appears, the ancient Kingdom of Neom will reappear, and the great King Cisar will finally rule the world and give humanity a just judgment…'"
"puff!"
Yoruichi Toyama, who had watched many anime but never heard such cheesy lines spoken in person before, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He was certainly aware of the "Neom Kingdom" and its related claims, given his knowledge of the original storyline. However, the realization that the three people who had been captured were believers in such doctrines still struck him as utterly absurd.
Forget about that Mizuki Ryujin; I remember he was a weapons developer in the old Japanese army, which is why he was proficient in installing and detonating old-fashioned poison gas bombs.
It's not surprising that Yoruichi Toyama became a cult follower after serving militarism.
But that child, Wuqin, who was so young yet so proficient in computer technology, even hacking, could be considered a genius to some extent.
Given her computer skills, obtaining information from the internet should be quite easy for her.
Surely her perspective isn't that narrow?
Moreover, Mingzhi, who is also a computer expert, has absolutely no interest in this opponent.
“No,” Yoruichi replied succinctly, seemingly understanding Yoruichi’s gaze, “I have no interest in those people.”
"According to them, they were just following orders when they planted poison gas and launched terrorist attacks."
"The most urgent task now is to find the mastermind behind this, which should be the 'King of Xisa,' and wipe them all out in one fell swoop."
“King Sissa?” Inspector Shiratori repeated with a complicated expression, “But…”
"I heard that the Kingdom of Neom is an environmental organization? How come it's involved in terrorist activities?"
"Could it be that those people from Water City are acting recklessly under the guise of the Kingdom of Neom?"
"An environmental organization?" Yoruichi Toyama raised an eyebrow in surprise. "How did you know that?"
This wasn't part of the original storyline, was it?
Inspector Shiratori, unfazed by the question, took out his phone, tapped a few times, and showed the webpage to Yoruichi Toyama and Akechi.
"This website is called Neom Kingdom. It's the homepage of an environmental organization that focuses on the protection of marine ecology in the waters near Okinawa. A lot of people have seen it recently."
"Although the founder of their organization calls himself 'King Sisa,' which sounds a bit childish, his original intention was good, and there are no signs of any terrorist organization."
Yoruichi Toyama grimaced upon hearing this.
If a homepage publicly displayed online shows signs of a terrorist organization, would that organization still be able to operate?
However, is this the logical progression of the current storyline? Is the mastermind, "King Sissa," currently hiding in the hotel, using an environmental organization as a front to lure and develop his followers?
This is a bit more sophisticated than before; even someone as shrewd as Inspector Shiratori seems to have fallen into their trap.
"Does this organization... raise funds?" Yoruichi Toyama asked.
Preconceived notions led him to have any good intentions regarding the "Kingdom of Neom" and the "King of Xisa".
No matter how noble and righteous the banner that a person with malicious intent raises, their purpose will still be something that cannot be revealed to the public.
The "King of Sissa" founded this organization for two reasons.
One is money, and the other is people.
Inspector Shiratori quickly shook his head.
"No... The website homepage only has information about the waters off Okinawa, especially the Deep Blue Ruins, and some legends. It seems the organizers are just doing it for publicity and have never done any fundraising."
That's for the sake of people.
Yoruichi Toyama did not tell Inspector Shiratori, who was trying to distance himself from the organization, her thoughts.
Information asymmetry, especially the lack of trust between each other, means that discussing these issues now will only lead to pointless arguments.
Moreover, the unexpected fact that the number of believers has grown to dozens of times more than in the original storyline is not the key issue at present.
The key is to find the culprit as soon as possible.
Mingzhi patted the blue and white host that had been moved to the server room.
"The information here should be very valuable."
Yoruichi's eyes lit up; she knew he wanted to find Wuqin's contacts through her computer.
As long as her accomplices, especially "King Sissa," have been in contact with her online...
“However,” Yoruichi Toyama blurted out, “'King Cesar'... I mean, why didn’t that mastermind tell them to leave immediately, or at least delete the data on their computers?”
Looking back now, the worst-case scenario is that Wuqin physically destroyed the computer after receiving the notification.
Setting it on fire, throwing it into the sea, or at the very least removing and smashing the hard drive—even if you had three heads and six arms, you still couldn't recover from this level of damage.
According to the police officers who arrested the Shui Cheng family of three, they were sound asleep at the time and had no idea that their actions had been exposed.
Why is that?
The King of Sisa must have known everything from the discovery of the poison gas bombs to their dismantling, right?
If the inability to tip off the bomber was due to the presence of the police, what about after the bomb was defused and everyone went to rest?
Can you access the internet in hotel rooms?
Unless it's the "King of Cesar" who watched the police operation from beginning to end and knew the plan had failed...
He abandoned his subordinates!
