The black and shiny eyes of the mechanical crow focused on Haruno Kiyama. Then it nimbly stood up from the box, like a real crow, pacing on the table, spreading its wings and shaking its feathers.
Kiyama Haruno calmly watched the wonderful scene in front of him.
She has seen such a scene once - just last month, before she was about to officially launch the "Fantasy Master" project.
"The crow..." Kishan Haruno called out its name.
This wonderful creation—without any electronic components in its body, but capable of transmitting information in real time, with unknown principles and unknown materials—is her collaborator, Dr. "Crow", his dialogue terminal.
After walking a few steps to move his body, the mechanical crow stood steadily and looked up at the female human researcher: "Good morning, Mr. Haruno Kiyama."
"Don't call me teacher!" Mu Shanchunsheng angrily reprimanded, completely lacking in the kindness he had just now when facing Yakushiji Mixi.
"Oh? I thought you liked the title teacher." A metallic voice came from the mechanical crow.
"Only students have the right to call me that!"
"It's really strict! Well then... Do it again," the mechanical crow tilted his head, "Good morning, Haruno Mushan."
"Enough!" Mushan Chunsheng slapped the table vigorously, "What are you doing! What is the meaning of yesterday's city-wide riot! Now the security department and the city's senior management must have all noticed my plan and research!"
"Don't panic, Mr. Mushan." For some reason, Mushan Chunsheng seemed to feel the mechanical crow laughing, "This is part of the plan."
"Plan?" Mu Shanchunsheng said coldly, "The whole city is in a commotion, and then the law enforcement officers are chasing you?"
"Don't worry, this is a display—the so-called advertisement." Crow said, "As for the law enforcement... Do you think if the high-level officials of this city want to arrest you, they will wait until now?"
The crow said confidently: "So rest assured, because of intelligence control, our plan has not been exposed-at least on the surface."
Haruno Kiyama was stunned. She had seen the dark side of Academy City to a certain extent, so she knew very well that there were some shady organizations in the dark of this city—collectively called "Anbu".
If the higher-ups really wanted to take the knife on themselves, they would have done it last night, and there was really no reason to delay until now.
Academy City's network is a large local area network, and all information is monitored by the government. As long as there is a heart, there is no secret that cannot be found. Kiyama Haruno didn't feel at all that his posting of information on the Internet could be done seamlessly.
After all, she was an expert on AIM's diffusion field, not on network information.
The crow chuckled: "Do you think your previous plan—only covering a mere 10,000 people, and almost all of them are low-level ability users of level 0 and level 1—will have much effect? Now I am going to expand the scale of the network to attract more people. Many, and more advanced ability users join in!"
"Teacher Mushan, didn't you say that you would do anything to save those children! Now, according to my plan, the success rate can be increased by at least three times!"
Mushan Chunsheng was shocked by its wild words. She did have the consciousness to be an enemy of the world, but dragging 10,000 people into the water before was already the limit of her imagination. But she didn't expect that this Dr. "Crow" who suddenly intervened in her plan would be even more daring!
"You... how many people are you planning?" Mushan Chunsheng asked nervously with a dry mouth.
"Ah, how many people? I can only say that the more the better." Crow said casually, "Speaking of which, Japan is also a country with a large population. Is it necessary to be so stingy? Even if it is limited to this Academy City, there must be at least 100,000 people. Is the scale justified?"
"You..." Mu Shanchun couldn't help but slumped down on the chair, "You are really a devil!"
"However, in order to achieve your goal, you wouldn't mind cooperating with the devil, wouldn't you? Besides, although cooperating with the devil will cost a lot, your wish can indeed be fulfilled... It's more reliable than praying to those illusory gods."
"What I'm worried about is the reaction from the guards and high-level officials—they can't all be indifferent! How can you keep them all silent and not stop this experiment?" Haruyuki Mushan gritted his teeth and said.
"Don't worry, I've already found a collaborator... As I said, this riot is also an advertisement—it attracts not only more users, but also collaborators who can be used as backers!"
"Collaborator?"
"Mr. Mushan, with your qualifications, you should have participated in some not-so-legal experiments, right?" Crow asked back, "So you should be very clear—there are countless shady researches and experiments behind this city, far more than you and me. It's just a little farce."
"Those studies... a lot of them are covered by real big men." The crow said while raising its wings and pointing to the sky.
"You mean..." Mushan Haruno was thoughtful.
"Mr. Mushan's ultimate goal in advancing the 'Fantasy Hand' is to build a 'human brain array' biological computer to replace the 'tree graph designer' that you can't easily touch."
Mushan Haruno nodded. Although she hadn't mentioned her ultimate goal, she was no longer surprised that the crow could know this.
"Now there is good news," Crow continued, "You don't have to worry about not being able to apply for the 'Tree Designer' anymore—in fact, it is now impossible for everyone to borrow that machine!"
The crow spread its wings exaggeratedly: "Because it's broken! It was destroyed in synchronous orbit last month!"
"Although I'm a little surprised... But what kind of good news is this? I'm not in the mood to gloat. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"
"Hehe, don't you understand?" Crow laughed, "How much research do you think in this city depends on the supercomputing power of the 'tree graph designer'? But now, the 'tree graph designer' is gone." ...then what to do?"
Mu Shanchunsheng's eyes widened suddenly: "...'Human Brain Array'!"
"That's right, it's good news, right? We have a supercomputer that can rival the 'tree graph designer'! In exchange for this, we can obtain the asylum of those research institutes with official backgrounds, and we can go further. Users of the expansion system... kill two birds with one stone."
Kiyama Haruki was convinced, but in fact she had no other choice.
"Okay. But let me ask, which company did you choose to cooperate with? Can they really suppress yesterday's big riot?"
"Don't worry..." Crow's eyeballs seemed to be shining brightly, "That's the 'Absolutely Powerful Evolution' project."
