Chapter 833 You Want to Stir up Trouble?

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and soon, it was the day of the performance.

There was nothing much to say about the performance itself. Duanmu Ai just followed Kujikawa Risa, helped, changed clothes, and then waited to go on stage.

"Nothing happened."

Standing backstage, Duanmu Ai stared at the Inoue agent next to him with dissatisfaction, and the latter smiled bitterly.

"Please don't look at me like that. I can assure you that everything I said before is true. We are just a small artist company and don't have the courage to deceive the devil summoner."

"I know, but there has been no abnormality. It is really difficult for people to determine whether there is really a ghost. It is also a trouble."

"I thought the other party might be planning to make a big news during the live broadcast of the live performance, but now it seems that this is not the case."

Duanmu Ai said while looking at the watch. The performance is over, the actors have finished thanking, and now the whole variety show has come to an end.

"So, what happened before..."

"Maybe she was unlucky during those days?"

Duanmu Ai didn't find any clues. At least from her point of view, what happened to Kujikawa Risa these days was just an accident. I remember that there is a similar astrology on the continent of Faerun, just like a fortune teller, saying that you have fire in your life and will be unlucky during the period of the wood star... Maybe Kujikawa Risa is the same.

"Maybe, at least she seems to be much more relaxed during this period."

Mr. Inoue couldn't give a reasonable explanation. The only explanation he could make was that Kujikawa Risa was unlucky during those days.

"Ah, Miss Duanmu, Mr. Inoue!"

At this time, Kujikawa Risa, who had changed her clothes, reappeared in front of the two of them and ran over with a smile on her face.

"Great performance, Risa!"

And Mr. Inoue also smiled.

"The director and the audience gave very good comments on your first performance. In this way, it will not be a problem to expand your stage. With such achievements, it will be easier for you to take on film and television work in the future!"

"I will work harder!"

Hearing Mr. Inoue's words, Kujikawa Risa clenched her fists and nodded vigorously, while Duanmu Ai just stood by and watched her silently. And Risa turned her head and looked at Duanmu Ai.

"By the way, Miss Duanmu, the director is also very impressed with your performance. Many people want to know who plays the angel..."

"That's not the point."

Duanmu Ai shook her head and then looked at her watch.

"According to the contract, my assistant position will end today."

"Ah..."

Hearing Duanmu Ai's words, Kujikawa Risa's expression suddenly became much stiffer, and her smile disappeared.

"Are you... planning to leave?"

"After all, I still have work to do."

Duanmu Ai looked at Kujikawa Risa in front of her. The latter had a stiff face, then lowered her head to take a deep breath, and then restored her original expression and looked at Duanmu Ai.

"Then, are we friends?"

"Of course, next time you come to me, I'll give you a friendship price."

"It's settled!"

Hearing Duanmu Ai's answer, Kujikawa Risa smiled.

"Then can I come to your office to play with you?"

"As long as you have time."

"No problem!"

After that, Duanmu Ai sent Kujikawa Risa back home and stood at the door. This was her last job. As long as she sent Risa home, her contract with the agency would be completed.

"So... you're not coming in?"

"I'm going back. I haven't been to the office for a while. Maybe there will be some trouble."

"Is that so..."

Kujikawa Risa's expression was a bit complicated, but she still nodded vigorously and smiled at Duanmu Ai.

"Well, see you later. I'll go find you to play."

"Goodbye."

Duanmu Ai also knew that Kujikawa Risa was probably just talking. Just like what Inoue's agent said, after today's performance, Kujikawa Risa will be more popular and may be busier than before. But unfortunately, this is someone else's life, and she has no right to interfere. Anyway, it doesn't matter if she agrees to it, just treat it as a thought.

Watching the door in front of her close, Duanmu Ai paused for a moment, then turned and left.

Afterwards, she returned to the office.

"You're back, Judge."

The office with Lumiel is in good order, as always.

"I'm back, what have I gained?"

"There are indeed some discoveries at present - by the way, Judge, your performance is great."

"Forget about that, I don't want to perform it again."

Duanmu Ai knew what Lumiel wanted to say and skipped the topic directly.

"What did you find?"

"Yes, I investigated according to the previous information, and found that the person who restarted this research after the reconstruction day was a scholar named Maruki Takuto. He seemed to have accidentally discovered cognitive science and believed that it could be used to treat human mental health."

"Maruki Takuto... I seem to have heard this name somewhere?"

"Of course, he is currently working as a psychologist at Shujin."

"Oh..."

Hearing this, Duanmu Ai clapped his hands.

"Oh, I remember, it is indeed the case."

I remember that after the bullying incident, the fat-headed and pig-eared principal hired a psychotherapist to stabilize the students' emotions. It turned out to be him.

Hmm?

"Isn't he studying cognitive science?"

"I've reported to you before that the research has been terminated..."

"Oh, yes, you told me that the research was terminated on the surface, but it was actually transferred to the government department. In other words, the research was led by Maruki Takuto before, but after being discovered by the official high-level officials, they found an excuse to kick him out and took over the research?"

"That's about it."

"Maybe I should find time to read his paper... Forget it, I don't think I can understand it. You have already read it, so summarize it?"

"Okay, according to Maruki Takuto's theory, cognitive space can be used to treat people's spirits. In short, he hopes to be able to treat human psychological trauma by adjusting the mental projection in the subspace."

"In the field of psychology..."

"Almost, he believes that if he can continue to study cognitive science, he can adjust the cognition of others from a spiritual level, just like performing surgery, so that people will no longer suffer from psychological trauma and can live a happy life."

"It's stupid."

Hearing this, Duanmu Ai sneered.

"He might as well kill all humans, and everyone can still be happy."

"……………………"

Liumiel didn't say anything about Duanmu Ai's evaluation, but she obviously agreed with Duanmu Ai's idea.

Although it's an operation, adjusting the spirit of others to make them happy is just a delusion.

That's not to make them happy, but to make them "feel" happy.

The spirit is different from the body.

There are standards for whether the operation on the body is successful, which can be determined by healing conditions, blood tests, and various data.

But it's different in the spirit. How do you judge whether this is happiness for the other party?

In other words, I can also make adjustments to make others feel that 007 is happy only when he has no holidays all year round. Once he takes a holiday, he feels like he has lost his parents, feels that he is not needed by the company, and has no value in existence. Only by investing his limited life in unlimited work can he be happy--what's the difference between this and brainwashing?

In fact, isn't this brainwashing? Just like the behavior of the Phantom Thieves--could this guy also be related to the Phantom Thieves?

After returning to school, I should investigate it carefully.

"It seems that I have to talk to him. If not, I'll find a time to get rid of this guy."

From the perspective of the Inquisition, this guy is obviously a heretic. In addition, he also knows about the subspace, so he should have been executed long ago.

This kind of heresy is a disaster if it is kept.

"Starting tomorrow, continue the investigation here. The problem of the subspace is the most important at the moment."

"Yes."

Although Duanmu Ai thought so, it's a pity that... things often don't go as planned.

The next morning, just when Duanmu Ai was about to go back to school, the phone rang. When he picked up the phone, Mr. Inoue's anxious voice came from the other end.

"Hello, is this Miss Duanmu? This is Inoue. Did Risa go to your place?"

"No."

"Did you send her home last night?"

"Of course, what happened?"

"She's gone!"

"………………huh?"

"When we picked her up this morning, no one answered her phone, and then I went to her room, and it was empty! I thought she went to your place... Didn't she?"

"I sent her home and then went back to the office, and we haven't met since then. According to you, she's missing?"

Duanmu Ai also frowned at this moment. And Inoue's voice was also very nervous and uneasy.

"Sorry, can you help me? Although we also know that this is not good, but..."

"No problem, I'll go now, where are you?"

"In Risa's apartment."

"Very good, wait for me."

After that, Duanmu Ai hung up the phone and walked to the door. Seeing Duanmu Ai's appearance, Lumi Ai looked at her puzzledly and asked.

"Judge? What happened?"

"Kujigawa Riyo is missing... Damn it, if I know who did it, I will skin him alive!"

Having said this, Duanmu Ai also stormed out.

Good fellow, I just left and you arrested someone right after, are you trying to stir up trouble? This is clearly trying to stir up trouble, right!

How can I tolerate this?

I can't kill you!
