The outer suburbs of Tokyo, a corner of the mountains.

Between the mountains and forests, a well-maintained road cuts off the blessings of nature. It is so far away from the hustle and bustle of human beings that it is hard to imagine that it is within the scope of Tokyo.

A black stretch car drove through the mountains and forests and came to this secret place hidden by the jungle-Shigemura Research Institute.

"Long time no see, Mr. Gongchang, welcome to [Shigemura Research Institute]."

With a flattering smile on his face, a man in a white coat with a slicked back hair and wire-rimmed eyes stood respectfully at the entrance of the institute, welcoming Xingke out of the car.

This time, there was no row of researchers in white coats following behind him, he was the only one.

However, the strange thing is that his bow was not answered for a long time, which made him embarrassed and did not dare to raise his head.

"...What's your name?"

"..."

Apparently, Xing Ke, who had everything to do with his daily routine, did not remember his name. He only knew that he was the person who greeted him last time, the disciple of Dr. Shigemura.

And the man with glasses

"Um...well, my name is..."

"Oh, I remembered, Comrade Sugou, long time no see."

By the way, it's called Suxiang, but I still don't have much impression of who Suxiang is from.

"After all, the last time I came here was two years ago..."

"It's okay, it's an honor for you to remember me."

As he said this, the humble smile on his face was quite perfect, but Xingji actually knew...

"Yes, I remember that one of Dr. Shigemura's apprentices came out to greet me, but his purpose was to build a good relationship with the senior management, and then better inherit the sovereignty of the laboratory after the old man Shigemura died..."

The smile on Sugou's face suddenly stiffened, and his back suddenly became cold as if thousands of fine needles had fallen down.

"You, what are you talking about..."

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. [DataDeletion]!"

A burst of white light flashed, and in front of him, Sugou, who was dressed in a researcher's white coat and had a temperament closer to that of a businessman and politician, disappeared into the wind without leaving a trace of smoke.

As if the dust on his body had been swept away, Xingke didn't pay too much attention. After turning around and asking the driver to go back first, Xingke walked to the door of the empty research institute and knocked on the glass window.

"Kaos."

"Here, Master."

A window is projected in the air in front of the star. In the window is a logo of the Shigemura Research Institute.

"AI for daily management of the laboratory, Kaos 001 is at your service. As the person with the highest authority in the system, you can..."

"Okay, let's lead the way, target [Director of Shigemura Research Institute, Dr. Shigemura]."

"Instruction confirmed...Navigation starts...Master, please follow the arrows and voice instructions."

As the voice rang in his ears, the lock on the glass door opened automatically, and an arrow was projected on the ground.

Xingke frowned and tilted his head strangely, but he didn't say anything and just followed the arrow and walked forward.

The process was almost the same as the last time I came here. First, the extra-long elevator entered the underground and then the auxiliary walking tracks that completely replaced the corridor. In the glass windows that appeared from time to time on both sides of the corridor, there were mice slumped on beds and chairs.

In the end, it is still the huge experimental field where football can be played.

It's just that when Xingke saw the scene in front of him, he was a little dumbfounded——

With the glass door in front of us as the boundary, the scene inside the experimental site seemed like a movie played at double speed.

All the people inside, yes, all the people, all walked with afterimages, as if they were all low-end versions of The Flash. And there was no trace of a collision.

Thanks to the fact that this laboratory is equipped with the highest specification quantum computer and [Kaos], a cross-generation artificial intelligence assistant, otherwise ordinary computers may not be able to keep up with the operations of these low-end Flashes.

However, there is no doubt that this is unscientific.

This is magic, and it's Xing Ke's own magic.

"Alas...is this old man from the city, or from space? Why is he so good at playing?

[DispellMagic]!”

After all, it is the magic props that he gave away and the magic power that he gave. It is not difficult for Xingke to remove this distorted version of the [Magic Acceleration Field].

There were probably hundreds of low-profile versions of The Flash in the venue, and they all slowly turned back into ordinary people in white coats.

Perhaps because they felt that the surrounding environment was different, the researchers paused for a moment and looked around. However, after a moment, they all continued to lower their heads and complete the work at hand as if nothing had happened.

No one even cared that the stranger Xing Ke had touched their boss and could easily strangle their boss to death...

The old man in front of me still looks like he was about to die two years ago.

Moreover, the posture is a bit strange. The tip of the pistol-shaped syringe held in the left hand is still stuck in the arm of a white mouse, motionless, but the gaze is focused on a pocket watch in the right hand.

He muttered something rude like "Is the real thing broken...".

He completely didn't notice that Xingji, who had not cast the invisibility spell at all, was already behind him.

"It's not broken, doctor."

Xingke smiled slyly and put his hand on Dr. Shigemura's skeletal shoulder:

"Are you suspecting that my [solidification magic] is not strong enough?

As long as the magic power I added does not disappear, this thing will not be broken even if it takes thousands of years and a direct nuclear explosion."

"Depend on!--

Forget it, you scared me to death."

Dr. Shigemura, who was startled by Xing Ke, threw away the drug syringe and jumped up. He didn't care that the needle had broken into the experimental rat's arm and was about to get angry. However, the next second he saw that the person coming was Xing Ke.

, so I endured it all the time.

"Doctor, long time no see. How are you?"

Xingke chuckled condescendingly, like a second-rate guy who wants to bully a lonely old man.

"How about we take a step to talk?"

"Uh... okay, big boss."

Knowing that he could not escape, Dr. Shigemura picked up the tablet terminal next to him and ordered:

"Kaos, inform Jindai, Kayaba, Higa and Sugou to have a meeting in the lounge."

"Yes, doctor...but Mr. Sugou's life response is not in the research institute, and the signal of the mobile terminal is still missing.

The guards around the forest need to be notified..."

"no need."

Xingke interrupted Kaos's order, and then said to Dr. Shigemura:
Chapter completed!
