Chapter 1313 A Person’s Journey

In recent days, the crime rate in Tokyo, especially in Mikka Town, has dropped to a terrifying figure.

Perhaps because of the turbulent current situation, everyone is only thinking about how to survive in troubled times, and has no time for revenge, nor is it in the mood to quarrel with others over trivial matters.

Even if they encounter something as unacceptable as a collision with others on the road, Mihua citizens will not hold a grudge and look for opportunities to use fancy techniques to kill people.

They would just look at each other, then quickly get up from the ground and walk quickly home. Sometimes when you are anxious, you can even skip the step of looking at each other.

Because no one can guarantee whether going home a minute late will cause something bad to happen.

From this perspective, the emergence of TENSE is a good thing.

Faced with a behemoth like the organization that dominates the political and business circles, the National Police Agency seems to have no solution at all. They got off work early, and only the special investigation team headed by Rei Fukiya was still working.

"Today's accident in Shinsaibashi, Osaka, is the fifth one recently. I think there must be a connection between these accidents." Yuya Kazami stood in front of the big screen, pushed up his glasses and said,

"First of all, the accidents were caused by one party's sudden coma. Secondly, the cause of their coma has not yet been identified, and all of these people became vegetative."

"I think it's more likely to be a coincidence, right?" Another public security guard speculated conservatively, "After all, the doctor didn't find any traces of taking drugs on them. The sudden coma may be due to physical reasons."

Director Li was also present. He mused: "Not all drugs can leave traces. Unexplained sudden deaths have occurred in countries around the world in the past. The most famous ones should be Amanda Hughes and Haneda seventeen years ago. The Koji case.”

"You mean, the recent events in Japan are related to the case seventeen years ago?"

"There is currently no evidence to support this speculation. I just used the examples of Amanda Hughes and Haneda Koji to illustrate that not all drugs can leave traces.

"In addition..." Director Li looked at Rei Furutani, who had been silent, "Although there is no evidence yet, according to Furutani-kun's information, the drugs Amanda Hughes and Haneda Koji took should have been determined. "

Fangtani nodded: "Yes, the organization we are investigating has a drug named APTX-4869. It is a colorless and odorless powder that can cause sudden death of unknown reasons after being taken."

"But in the recent accidents, no one died. They just lost consciousness and became a vegetative state."

Lose consciousness and become a vegetative state?

Combined with what Jingguang told him, Feng Guling seemed to already know what these accidents were all about.

Has the Noah's Ark Project...already begun?

At a time when the National Police Agency’s operations are restricted, there is not much the Special Investigation Team can do. They discussed for a long time, but in the end they could only come up with a curved strategy to save the country.

After the meeting, Director Li stopped Fang Gu Ling and said, "Mr. Fang Gu, the Public Security Committee requires us to record the content of each meeting and submit it to them for review after sorting it out."

Fangtani Rei frowned: "The Public Security Commission shouldn't be able to interfere with our work, right?"

"I heard that this was Mr. Yaguchi Shinsuke's suggestion." The director's expression was a little complicated. "He is too concerned about our investigation, which is very unusual."

"Do you want me to sort it out and send it to you first?" Fang Guling asked.

Director Li seemed surprised: "No, no, you can just submit it directly to the Public Security Committee. However, there are some sensitive issues, so there is no need to report in too much detail."

"I see."

"Well, then I'll leave first."

Director Li nodded gently to him and left the conference room immediately.

Rei Fukutani looked at the contents of the notebook and became increasingly confused as to what Shinsuke Yaguchi wanted to do.

The question he just asked was a test of the director. In this tense moment, he could not completely trust anyone, not even Kazami Yuya. However, there was nothing wrong with Director Li's reaction, and since he was already a member of the special investigation team, there was no need to do anything extra.

If the request to submit records was not made up by the director, it would be intriguing that Shinsuke Yaguchi cares so much about the work of the investigation team.

It is known that there is an organized undercover within the police. Could that undercover be Shinsuke Yaguchi?

Jianggu Ling was determined to listen to Zhu Fu Jingguang's thoughts.

So as soon as the meeting at the National Police Agency ended, Rei Fukiya called Asano Haibara Ai to Dr. Agasa's house because he was ill.

"The same reason has happened again and again, but not again and again." Nobuhiro appeared at Dr. Ali's door with a very strange expression. "I always come to Dr. Ali's house to look for Xiao Ai. Too many times will arouse suspicion."

"Don't worry, I've changed your location to the apartment at 5-chome, Mika Town."

Accompanied by a familiar loud voice, Matsuda Jinpei walked out of the basement stairs.

Nobushige turned around and left.

However, the entrance hall had been occupied by a blond and dark-skinned man at some point.

Nobuhiro: "..."

Haiyuan Ai was filled with guilt, and she bowed ninety degrees to her brother: "I'm very sorry, Onii-chan."

Xiao Ai's face just said "They forced me". How could Xin Fan blame her? So he could only vent his anger on these two heartless and playful guys!

"Tell me, what's the matter? I'm very busy." Xinfan said coldly.

"What are you busy with?" Fang Guling asked.

"Busy about preserving the minds of users who have taken APTX-4869, waiting for Noah's Ark to set sail."

Jianggu Ling was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Jing Guang to answer his question without hesitation.

Matsuda Jinpei smacked his lips at the side: "Has the Noah's Ark project started?"

"To be precise, the ark has been built. We just have to wait for the day when the flood comes, and Noah's ark can set sail."

Dr. A Li smiled helplessly and said: "From your tone, it seems that you are looking forward to that day."

Nobushige turned to look at Dr. Ari without refuting his words.

In fact, he does look forward to the day when Noah's Ark sets sail, because no matter who the final winner is, that day is when everything ends and when he pays the price for his sins.

"Brother." Haihara Ai asked weakly, "Is what Edogawa and I saw in the TENSE Building that day the true form of Noah's Ark?"

"You can say that. You have all participated in the launch of the game 'Cocoon'. That device is very similar to 'Cocoon'. People who accept the Noah's Ark project have to sit inside the device and take APTX under the monitoring of the research team. Once they Once your physical condition reaches the standard, thought derivation can begin at any time.”

"Does the export have to be done in 'Cocoon'?" asked Rei Fangtani.

Nobuhiro said clearly: "You want to ask about some bizarre traffic accidents that have happened in Japan recently?"

Falling valley zero defaults.

"The function of the 'cocoon' is to allow the mind to exist independently of the body, making it easier for the research team to monitor data and control the dosage of drugs. Once this process is completed, theoretically, mind export can be carried out anytime and anywhere."

Matsuda Jinpei glanced at Dr. Agasa and said angrily: "Doctor, aren't you the original researcher of mind transfer technology? Why don't you know these things?"

Dr. Ali hesitated and was about to explain when he heard Nobuhiro: "Because the mind transfer studied by Dr. Ali is not the same as the Noah's Ark plan, right, doctor?"

"ah……"

"This is actually just my speculation. The technology of Noah's Ark is already very mature, but that man and Rum still want to get the eternal stone. The doctor's research must be different from Noah's Ark. Let me guess, can your technology be used The minds of dead people are reborn?”

This was Nobushige's idea after he found out that the current Karasuma Renya was Arisuke Agasa, and that he most likely wanted to resurrect his sister Taeko.

Dr. Agasa probably initially started this research to resurrect his aunt, but as the research continued to deepen, he gradually realized the horror of this technology, and then left the organization at the suggestion of Kudo Yusaku.

Dr. A Li opened his mouth, but remained silent for a long time.

Nobushige continued: "Consciousness is based on the material body. Theoretically speaking, as long as the corpse is well preserved, the memory and thinking of the deceased can be extracted from the brain."

That's why Belmode said, "We are both God and devil, because we want to reverse the flow of time and bring the dead back to life."

Dr. A Li was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

Nobushige sighed quietly: "Actually, I have already obtained the Immortality Stone, but I heard that only Tani Tsuyoshi knows how to decode the Immortality Stone."

"Then capture him and torture him!" Matsuda Jinpei said matter-of-factly.

"No, I'm afraid it won't work." Nobushige looked at Rei Taniya, "Takashi Taniyama's body may not be his mind. I have speculated on the principle of mind transfer technology. If you want to introduce one person's consciousness into another person's The body may be just like the covering of a disk, and it is very likely that Taniya Tsuyoshi’s original memories and thoughts have completely disappeared.”

Rei Fukiya asked Dr. Agasa: "Doctor, do you know Tsuyoshi Tani? Why is it that only he can decode the disk recording your research results?"

This time, Dr. Ali seemed to realize that he no longer needed to hide many things. He sighed deeply and said with a complicated expression:

"When I was young, the organization was not as extreme as it is now. I have always been doing scientific research with the idea of ​​resurrecting Aunt Dingzi. Until my uncle's plan was leaked seventeen years ago, many members thought like me that this method Resurrecting the dead is too scary. In order for me to leave the organization smoothly, Mescal gathered many members who had the same idea, including Tsuyoshi Tani."

Matsuda Jinpei was confused: "Isn't Mescal the code name of Jingguang?"

"Ahem." Nobushige cleared his throat and explained, "I am the second generation. The first generation lives next door. My name is Kudo Yusaku."

Matsuda Jinpei: "???"

"What about Takeda Luo?" Nobushige asked again.

"Oh, you mean Takeda Koji, right?" Speaking of his old friend, Dr. Ari's eyes showed a trace of nostalgia, "He entered the organization earlier than me. I don't know much about him. I only know that Yuzu has a close relationship with him. Okay. I was able to successfully leave the organization seventeen years ago, thanks to his mediation."

"Sounds like Takeda Koji is a good person?" Matsuda Jinpei clicked his tongue.

Dr. Agasa thought for a moment before saying: "I don't think Mr. Takeda is a good person in the traditional sense. I have met him several times. He is an old man with a very weird personality. He only admires Kudo who just joined the organization at that time. Yuzuo. He will help me, partly because of Yuzuo's request, but also because he is not satisfied with my uncle's plan."

"However, if you have to say that he is a good person, that's not impossible." Dr. Ali laughed, "During the turmoil seventeen years ago, my uncle and Rum killed many people, and Mr. Takeda saved them by virtue of his position in the organization. There are some of them, and Takeshi Yamagami is one of them.”

"They killed so many members to find the eternal stone, right?"

Dr. Ali nodded: "Yes, I founded the research institution in South Africa. I didn't expect that my hard work would eventually kill them."

"Can you please write a list of the members who followed you and Mr. Yusaku based on your impression?" Nobushige asked, "Just like Xiao Ai, maybe there are relatives of those people in the organization now."

"Of course, no problem, I will give it to you as soon as possible."

Nobuhiro nodded gently to express his gratitude.

Today's conversation with Dr. A Li was very fruitful, at least it was much more effective than dealing with that old man Kudo Yusaku a few days ago.

After getting what he wanted to know, Nobuhiro started to leave, but he was stopped by Fangtani Rei again.

Nobushige's face was full of confusion: "Is there anything else, Officer Furitani?"

A mobile phone was handed to his eyes.

"Your electronic devices are all monitored by Rum. Take this phone and keep in touch at all times." Rei Shitani sighed, "Don't put yourself in a dangerous situation. If you have anything, you can tell me."

"It's us!" Matsuda Jinpei emphasized.

Nobuhiro laughed, took the phone and put it in his pocket: "Okay, I will report everything in detail."

After making the promise, Nobuhiro didn't stop any longer. He waved his hands with his back to Fukiya Rei and Matsuda Jinpei, and then left Dr. Agasa's house alone.

Even though his family and close friends used the most direct means to tear the mask off his face, there were still some roads that Nobuhiro could only walk alone. As early as seven years ago, he had already made preparations after learning that he would enter the Ministry of Public Security according to the established track.

After Asano Nobushige left, Haibara Ai received a phone call.

She immediately jumped up from the sofa, looking excited: "Really? I'll go there now!"

Matsuda Jinpei quickly stopped Haibara Ai, who was jumping around like a little rabbit: "Wait, what happened?"

"My sister may have found a way to fight against the Dark Baron!" Because the news was so good, Haiyuan Ai took several deep breaths before reluctantly speaking out. Her cheeks were slightly red, and she looked like she had just come out of a sauna. .

This news successfully ignited an atmosphere that had been relatively silent.

Fangtani Rei excitedly confirmed: "Really? Can the Dark Baron be eliminated?"

Only Matsuda Jinpei expressed doubts: "Didn't Jingguang say that this little girl doesn't know about the Dark Baron?"
