Chapter 2446 Dating? (Ben Who Is Addicted to 2077 Does Not Want to Type)

Shido Justice, Cognitive Hexology, Kirijo Research Institute, Movie Time, late-night TV—there must be some connection among them.

So Ellie found Kirijo Mizuru again, and asked to see the head of the Kirijo Foundation, her request was naturally satisfied, and soon, Ellie met with Kirijo Mizuru's father, Kirijo Takeji.

"Hello, Silver Witch."

Sitting behind the desk, Kirijo Takeji was a calm black-haired man in his forties or fifties with an eye patch on his left eye. He crossed his hands in front of him and stared at Ellie.

"May I ask why you came to see me this time?"

"I won't talk nonsense anymore."

Ellie clearly had no interest in being polite.

"I just want to ask about the information about 'cognitive science'."

Hearing Ellie's straightforward question, Takeji Kirijo's expression changed suddenly, and then he regained his original calm.

"I really didn't expect that you found this place so quickly... It was beyond my expectation. It seems that the name of the Silver Witch is really well-deserved."

"It's not for nothing that I've been a magician for the past few years."

Airi leaned back on the chair, staring at Takeji Kirijo.

"You don't want to say you don't know anything, do you?"

"of course not."

Kirijo Takeji shook his head, then he took a deep breath.

"Now that you've found me, I won't hide anything anymore, but I don't really know much... Is this okay?"

Faced with Kirijo Takeji's question, Airi just gestured.

"Please."

"Okay, then please read this document first."

While speaking, Kirijo Takeji took out a document from the safe under him and handed it to Ellie. Ellie took the file and flipped through it. At the same time, Kirijo Takeji also spoke.

"This matter has to start thirteen years ago, when the legacy of the holy sword was discovered on Xianjin Island, and the artificial island management association preserved it. At the beginning, they didn't know what the legacy was, they only knew This is a very mysterious thing. But after that, in the institution that studies the legacy of the Holy Annihilation, someone suddenly produced a strange power, which can summon some mysterious and powerful beings..."

"You mean...Persona?"

Hearing this, Ellie frowned, and Kirijo Takeji nodded.

"After that, the Artificial Island Management Association analyzed the relics of Sheng Jian and found that it can connect to another world... the spiritual world, do you understand what I mean?"

"Alaya Consciousness, the aggregate of the unconsciousness of all human beings, well, this is not the first time I have heard of this."

"exactly."

Along with speaking, Kirijo Takeji also seemed a little excited.

"When the Artificial Island Management Club discovered this, they started the 'cognitive science' - the world of human cognition, the nature of things that human cognition, the connection with human inner spirit and the research work on the psychological level The world in Shadow Time is actually the world created by the cognition of everyone on Artificial Island No. 12. I think you have seen it too, Ms. Ellie, those shadow monsters...the essence that forms them is actually human beings Mental elements, anger, sadness, pain..."

Ellie silently glanced at the file and raised her head.

"So, what is the job of Kirijo Research Institute?"

"At that time, 'cognitive science' was divided into several parts, which were to study how the 'spiritual world' operates and affects reality, how to change other people's cognition, and artificially synthesize Persona——finally this is our Kirijo mission of the institute."

"Synthetic Persona?"

Hearing this, Airi also frowned slightly, while Takeji Kirijo nodded.

"That's right, Ms. Ellie, you should already know that Persona is the manifestation of a person's inner essence. Their spirit and essence have called out the corresponding existence and summoned them to fight... But so far, Only a very small number of people have such qualifications. The work that our Kirijo Research Institute took on at the time was the study of shadows and the artificial synthesis of Persona, but there was an accident in the middle..."

Kirijo Takeji shook his head helplessly.

"I think you also know what happened next. Because many people were killed and injured, the research institute was closed, and the research work was terminated."

"And what about the rest of cognitive science?"

"I'm not very clear about this. My secret level is not enough to obtain other research progress on 'cognitive science', but I heard that it should be partly completed."

"Change cognition......"

Looking at the document in front of her, Ellie suddenly felt a movement in her heart. According to the notice letter of the Phantom Thieves, they hope to steal Kamo Shida's desire and let him confess everything to the police. So does this count as a change in perception? If this is the case, then it means that the Phantom Thieves obtained some of the research results of "cognitive science"?

Of course Ellie knows that the mental influence during the shadow time will affect her, just like Amagi Yukiko, after she directly pushed down another Amagi Yukiko, the main body Amagi Yukiko saw her like a mouse and a cat. Before this, Ellie had never met the main body, but it was obvious that what she did to another Yukiko Amagi back then, even if the main body knew nothing about it, she would subconsciously fear and surrender to herself.

This can be regarded as a change of cognition to a certain extent, but the approach of the Phantom Thieves seems to be a little different...

"Thank you."

After confirming that she would not get any more information from Kirijo Takeji, Airi stood up and planned to leave, but at this moment, Kirijo Takeji spoke hastily.

"Please wait, Miss Allie, there is one more thing I want to remind you."

"Oh?"

"Please be careful Shuji Tsukizuki."

"he?"

Hearing the name, Ellie frowned.

"why?"

"I know that you and Yue Yujiali are good friends. In fact, it was Yue Yu Yujiali's father, Yue Yu Yongichiro, who was in charge of the experiment of artificially synthesizing Persona. It was an accidental death, but I suspect that his death was probably caused by Shuji a few months."

"You say that...... Is there any basis for it?"

"That's not true, but I heard that Shuji and Yue Yu Yongichiro seem to have disagreements on the experimental goals and plans... As for the specific situation, I was not in the research institute at the time, so I really don't have any clues."

"I see, so about the legacy of the holy annihilation..."

"Sorry, this is the top secret of the Artificial Island Management Association, and I don't know the specifics."

"Ok."

Although she didn't get all the clues from Kirijo Takeji, based on the information Ellie has so far, she has almost seen through the connection behind these events.

"It's going to rain again next week..."

Back in her room at the Iwatodai branch, Ellie whispered while watching the weather forecast. She's not worried about running out of time, but it's also related to her ability and face. If the Silver Witch can't solve these incidents, then her reputation will be affected a lot.

"Boom boom boom."

Just when Ellie was thinking about what to do next, suddenly there was a knock on the door, which interrupted Ellie's thinking. She stood up, walked to the door, and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was a very lively girl with a brown ponytail, wearing a moonlight hall uniform, and wearing red headphones.

"Ah, Miss Allie, I'm sorry to disturb you..."

"It's okay, what can you do with me?"

Looking at the ponytail girl in front of her, Ellie looked at her suspiciously. This girl was Shiomi Kotone who entered the Iwatodai branch with her the night she came to the twelfth artificial island. After that, she also became a member of S.E.E.S, but Airi and her were not particularly familiar, and they only acted together when they attacked Tartarus.

Generally speaking, the impression Xijian Qinyin left on Ellie is a very lively and cheerful type, and she often enlivens the atmosphere in the team during the strategy, and she has a good figure and looks very cute...

But strictly speaking, because of the different identities and Ellie's "crazy" performance in several battles, except for Xia Yin and Jietong, everyone else is a little afraid of her. Ellie doesn't particularly care about this, after all, her own image still needs to be erected.

"That... is like this..."

Looking at the white-haired red-eyed girl in front of her, Xijian Qinyin was also a little nervous. Ellie didn't know that Xijian Qinyin awakened the power of Persona after she came to the twelfth artificial island, and at the same time she came to the "velvet room" , where I received Igor's guidance. Under Igor's guidance, Xijian Qinyin learned that she needs to build a good relationship with the people around her to get promoted, and among these people, only Ellie's "desire" " is the most difficult to improve.

In fact, before this, Xijian Qinyin didn't dare to come to Ai Li at all. On the one hand, the girl's merciless indifference during the battle also made her feel drummed, and on the other hand, Ai Li seemed to have some kind of aura , just being glanced at by her, Xi felt that he was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat when he saw Qin Yin.

That is to say, not long ago, after Xi Jianqin's hard training, she finally made her courage a little bigger, so she dared to bite the bullet and come to Ai Li.

"That... I want to say, if possible, would you like to go shopping with me tomorrow?"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Ellie looked at her curiously.

Could this be... a date invitation?

It's so rare that a girl would ask me for a date. It's not for nothing!

It is a shame for a man not to eat meat that reaches his mouth!

"……………is it okay?"

Seeing Ellie's silence, Xijian Qinyin cautiously asked again. She never thought that Ellie's mind had gone through the whole process from what movie to watch to which hotel room to book.

Facing Xijian Qinyin's question, Ellie thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Of course, no problem."

Since it was delivered to your door by yourself, don't blame me for being rude!
