Under the complex gazes of a group of police officers, including Shotaro, who were filled with surprise, incomprehension, and a little bit of fear.
The aircraft transformed into a condensed stream of light.
It shot into the sky like a sharp arrow.
They disappeared with incredible speed at the edge of the perpetually somewhat gloomy skyline of the Wind City.
Zero One Technology Headquarters.
The top floor houses the president's private office.
When Saki Wakana's feet first stepped onto this area, which symbolized the pinnacle of Fuuto's technology.
Her entire being was instantly captivated by the scene before her.
Everything here exudes a timeless coldness and efficiency.
From those smart walls that seem to blend seamlessly into the space, leaving no trace of gaps.
To those holographic operating interfaces that seem to float in the air and move according to the user's will.
Every detail exudes a technological pressure that far exceeds current understanding, making it almost breathless.
Su Chen casually raised his hand, gesturing for her to sit down on the sofa that looked extremely soft and comfortable.
He himself stood casually in the center of the office, as if he were the master of the room.
Then, in front of her.
He did not touch any physical buttons or perform any unnecessary operations.
He simply gave the instructions to the empty air in a clear and steady tone.
“Iz”.
Not loud.
Yet it seemed to possess some kind of magical power that could penetrate space, echoing in the quiet office.
"Yes, President."
A clear, melodious female voice, yet with an almost inhuman precision, immediately responded.
next moment.
The light and shadow in the central area of the office began to intertwine and solidify.
A life-size holographic projection of Secretary Izzy.
It's as if it were formed and shaped out of nothingness.
They appeared there silently.
Her appearance was flawless, without a single human blemish.
His eyes were calm and unwavering, like the most precise instrument, filled with an inhuman level of rationality.
"Conduct a thorough investigation, with the highest priority, into Kanda Takeshi and the entire origins of the 'virus memory' he possesses."
Su Chen's instructions were concise and to the point, without any redundancy.
"I need a complete report that includes all direct chains of evidence."
"As ordered."
Izzy bowed slightly, her movements as precise as a textbook example.
No unnecessary movements.
There was not the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Under the gaze of Wakana Sonozaki's beautiful eyes, which were slightly wide open in utter shock.
In terms of efficiency and depth, it far surpasses the police force of Fengdu by several orders of magnitude.
It even far surpasses the "museum's" proud intelligence-gathering capabilities, which have penetrated every corner of the capital.
An absolute investigation that penetrates every nook and cranny, leaving no room for escape.
And so it began.
The enormous holographic screen that occupied the entire wall was instantly lit up upon Izzy's confirmation of the command.
The countless dark blue data streams were no longer the simple, disordered waterfalls they had been before.
They are more like billions of tiny, luminous snakes imbued with life and possessing clear goals.
From all directions, from every corner of the real world, and from every node in cyberspace.
They surged in wildly and converged here.
Kanda Takeshi's personal information.
What is displayed on the screen now is no longer simple basic information such as name, age, and address.
Rather, it refers to all the official records that can be documented about him from birth to the present.
In his student report, there was a comment left unintentionally by his tutor.
Every performance evaluation he has received since joining the company.
His medical records contained details of psychological assessments that had previously been considered insignificant.
His bank account, every single inflow and outflow of funds.
It is accurate to the exact destination of every single penny.
The source and ultimate purpose of each large sum of money.
Every ID he used online.
Every statement made on public social media platforms.
Every post left deep within those private, anonymous forums.
Even those encrypted emails that he had personally deleted and buried deep in the server's junk data pile.
They were all under the influence of an invisible giant hand.
From that vast, chaotic ocean of data.
In an almost overbearing and irresistible manner.
Forced salvage.
peel off.
Resolve.
Then, the information was presented clearly and logically on the huge screen.
The Yark satellite possesses terrifying computing power.
At this moment, in this office, everything is laid bare.
In the city, there are tens of thousands of surveillance cameras scattered like stars in the sky.
Above the sky, reconnaissance satellites survey the earth with a cold, detached perspective.
At this moment, they all became Yak's eyes and ears.
Kanda Takeshi's movements over the past month.
It's no longer those vague dots and lines in police reports.
Instead, it's on a three-dimensional city model of Fengdu built in the center of the screen.
It is marked by an extremely striking bright red band of light.
It was reproduced in real time with precision down to the second.
enlarge.
Perform facial feature and behavioral pattern analysis.
One tiny detail after another that had been overlooked and forgotten.
At this moment, it's as if we're under the strongest spotlight, with nowhere to hide.
When was he?
Specifically, in which dark and secluded street corner?
It came from that mysterious stranger, labeled "salesperson."
He purchased the "virus memory" that twisted his mind and exuded an ominous aura at a high price.
The recording of the conversations during the transaction has undergone meticulous ambient noise reduction processing, making it clearly audible.
Even a close-up of a seemingly insignificant yet highly distinctive cufflink on the "salesman's" sleeve.
All the details.
All related information.
Every detail is covered.
It was displayed with perfect clarity before Sonozaki Wakana's eyes, which were unfocused with shock.
This can no longer be called an "investigation".
At one point, Sonozaki Wakana's breathing almost completely stopped.
She originally thought that she had a clear enough understanding of the power Su Chen possessed.
But what I'm seeing is an unbelievable scene.
It still far exceeded all the limits of her previous imagination.
This is a kind of ability that is almost "omniscient".
An absolute authority, like that of a legendary deity, high above all beings, overlooking all the secrets of the world.
