Chapter 155 Top Secret Experiment
It can't possibly suddenly come back to life just to remind me to obey traffic rules, can it?!
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: It's been like this since last night. It's like it swallowed some viral internet meme; I haven't even had a chance to complain about it, and now it's started again today. It's probably referring to yesterday's car accident...]
It made a move yesterday? Why didn't you tell me?
[Anti-Fraud Guru #19: This isn't exactly urgent news. We were planning to tell you after it was completely fixed. Who would have thought it would be acting up this morning? Could it be some unknown virus invading your system?]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #205: Nothing can threaten us anymore except fate. It's definitely not a virus. However, there is some good news: our backend repair progress has suddenly surged by 1%, bringing us one step closer to fixing it!]
...surge.
Okay.
With a positive attitude, Morofushi Kagemitsu simply took this as a sign that the app's backend might be improving, and drove to the research institute marked by Anti-Fraud King with composure.
This is a very standard research institute building. Both its plain white color scheme and scientific layout indicate that it is a legitimate research institution.
Zhu Fujingguang felt a little relieved.
Thankfully, it wasn't Melo's "vegetable greenhouse," which resembled a shoe cult basement. Otherwise, he would have seriously suspected that the organization was holding a grudge against him for corrupting the aesthetics of most of its members, which was why they were so determined to kill him.
If he really did break a taboo in this area, he should crawl out of his coffin and shout "I'm innocent!"
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: Um, actually you've already...]
[Anti-Fraud King No. 11: ...When everyone was discussing those unfounded gossips and rumors about you on the forum, you never thought this much about clarifying your reputation.]
That's different. Having a problematic lifestyle is normal for members of an organization, but if someone has a bad sense of aesthetics, they'll probably say goodbye to most missions that involve obtaining business information. Vermouth wouldn't want to take on someone like that.
[Anti-fraud expert #19: The answer I imagined is a little different. So that's what you were thinking...]
Hmm? What else?
His work assistant, Secretary Yagi, was already waiting at the door. Upon seeing him, she quickly stepped forward and invited him into the research building.
[Anti-fraud expert #148: No, it's nothing, just a small matter. Since you're currently on a leadership inspection tour anyway, I'll just send you the floor plan of this research institute. It'll come in handy later when we level this place, so seeing it now won't hurt.]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #214: This exploration went surprisingly smoothly, it seems that fate is placing fewer and fewer restrictions on us.]
This is a good thing, indicating that it can no longer stop us from getting closer to the truth.
Nothing unexpected happened on the way to the research institute, and so far there have been no signs of any unusual events. It probably won't stop us anymore.
Zhu Fujingguang walked at a constant pace, getting closer and closer to the large office that had been specially set aside on the fifth floor.
[Anti-fraud expert #198: Speaking of which, I thought the projects here would only be related to drugs, but I didn't expect there to be so many electronic components hidden in the basement.]
[Anti-fraud expert #205: The office also has anti-eavesdropping devices installed. I believe this "secret expert" will tell us why later.]
Following up on what 205 had said, Morofushi Kagemitsu quickly surveyed the office layout and glanced at Secretary Yagi from his executive chair.
Before he could say anything, Secretary Yagi understood the meaning in his eyes. With a wave of his hand, the assistants following behind him scattered and left quietly. The whole process was very discreet, showing their excellent training.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: Wow! This CEO's treatment is so cool!]
[Anti-fraud expert #148: Tsk.]
Zhu Fujingguang: ...
So this is how Goto Shunsuke usually acts...?
Before he could reflect on his role, Secretary Yagi gently placed the stack of folders on the desk and explained, "Mr. Goshima, these are the project proposal and approval forms you wish to review."
Morofushi Kagemitsu deliberately avoided appearing anxious. I glanced at the headers of the documents and asked, "What about the most recent project?"
Secretary Yagi opened the folder labeled "The Thirteenth Drug Desensitization Experiment Report," but the file title inside had changed to "Fusion Test of Human Brain Specimen and Cultured Brain Neural Module (First Stage)."
hiss.
Even Morofushi Kagemitsu, who had witnessed countless insane experiments by various organizations, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when he saw this title.
[Anti-fraud expert #198: ...That's quite an imagination.]
This joke is a bit hellish, number 198.
Secretary Yagi's tone carried a hint of smugness at his boss's supposed foresight: "The project from three years ago was suddenly restarted recently. Most of the scholars in the organization didn't get a heads-up, so we didn't encounter much resistance when we got this report. It's all thanks to your excellent information."
Morofushi Kagemitsu, who hadn't actually obtained any intelligence and was just trying his luck by heading straight for the top-secret information, silently agreed. He flipped through a few pages of experimental data that looked like gibberish, and while waiting for the anti-fraud master to input it, he said, "It's only been running for a short time... so, is the data synchronization keeping up?"
Secretary Yagi flipped through the report; the most recent experiment was three days ago.
Morofushi Kagemitsu skipped over the control group data and focused solely on the conclusions and data analysis.
His pupils involuntarily contracted when his gaze fell on certain words.
"An attempt to build a super AI", "Human brain neural wiring", "Rejection reactions between different central nervous systems and peripheral organs", "Bioelectric currents and data flow"...
[Anti-fraud expert #198: Wait! This description of the integration test... matches the situation of Butler Hasegawa perfectly! Jing, ask him what the procedures for this integration test are? I remember there are a few small projects in the island project that match this description.]
“The materials are incomplete. At least explain the source of these small projects that were cut in line.” Morofushi Kagemitsu used all his acting skills to suppress his tone, which was hard to tell whether he was nervous or excited. He threw some documents on the table and looked at Secretary Yagi with dissatisfaction under some pretext.
Even the usually prudent secretary, Tomoe, looked troubled and said, "Well... the basic data for the Tottori and island projects might not be so easy to obtain."
Tottori, the island plan!
Sure enough, this immediately involved the organization's two most core experimental bases!
This discovery was like a bolt of lightning, connecting all the organizational movements he had observed along this timeline.
Over the years, the organization's research objective has remained consistent. It was simply split into two, whether for the sake of concealment or for specialization. The island project was for screening qualified "biological samples" capable of adapting to the fluctuations of the fate line; the Tottori base was responsible for research in areas such as intelligent AI and big data.
Three years ago, the two projects gradually merged, reaching the most critical integration phase. The organization used Tokyo as a transit point to create a better research environment for the company, gradually migrating experimental data and valuable specimens.
However, something happened that brought this large project to a halt.
[Anti-fraud expert #11: This "certain matter" is probably related to you, and even more so to that butler, Hase.]
[Anti-fraud expert #205: We just conducted a thorough search of Hasegawa's past activities and found that, apart from his visit to Beika Central Hospital yesterday, he has not appeared in any other public places.]
Morofushi Kagemitsu gripped the document in his hand tightly. He knew what this meant and wanted the Anti-Fraud King to quickly remove any traces of Hasegawa's presence.
[Anti-fraud expert #66: Don't worry, we've already taken care of it, but it's a bit more troublesome for those who have seen him.]
I'll figure out a way to prevent the class monitor from capturing us.
After confirming that Anti-Fraud King had successfully entered all the data, Morofushi Kagemitsu said, "I naturally don't need the original data, but the source of those projects must be clearly marked, otherwise it's easy for that woman Melo to find some loopholes."
Even Yagi, the secretary who knew about the little grudge between his boss and Mello, bowed his head and replied:
"Yes, I'll remind them to make it up right away."
"Unfortunately, it's already noon, so we can only apply for a visitation permit for the evening."
Ayumi Yoshida looked at the visitation permit that Professor Agasa had just issued and said somewhat dejectedly.
"Professor is getting old, he's got the time wrong. We can only go see Mr. Midorikawa this evening now." Kojima Genta walked with everyone. His words made Professor Agasa doubt his own memory, and he kept checking the reservation information on his phone.
They returned from Beika Central Hospital by taxi, originally planning to visit Mr. Midorikawa and take their older sister with her amnesiac to see a doctor at the same time. However, they didn't expect that Dr. Agasa had made a mistake about the visiting hours, so they had to wait and come back later.
"Thankfully, my older sister's matter is settled." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya finally found something positive to talk about. "Doctors need to get to know familiar people and things more often, so shall we go to the amusement park today?"
"Actually... it's okay if I don't go. I think I'm just more sensitive to colors." Curaçao was embarrassed to make everyone worry about her like this. "Maybe I should go somewhere else. The children have to go to school tomorrow, so they shouldn't follow me around."
"Huh?"
The children were disappointed; they really liked this gentle and beautiful older sister.
Conan Edogawa didn't want this person, who seemed to be a member of the organization, to wander around aimlessly, so he tried to keep him there if he could. He looked around and noticed that Poirot Cafe seemed to have launched a new signature set meal today, so he said in a childlike tone, "But big sister, it's already noon, and we're all a little hungry."
After saying that, he gave the doctor a wink.
Dr. Agasa struggled out of his phone reservations and chimed in, "Yeah, why don't we have lunch at this restaurant? I saw they've launched some new dishes, it's on me."
"Okay!"
Before Curaçao could even refuse, the children excitedly ran into the store.
She was surrounded by the children's enthusiasm as she entered the store, just in time to see Amuro Tooru coming out of the kitchen's food storage area.
Their eyes met.
