I have found out your real name

Chapter 129 Incoming Calls
Just when the atmosphere of the cultural festival gradually became stronger in Inaba's campus, Li Wu received a call from Lilia for the first time since he left Weilan Pharmaceutical's refuge.

"Now you don't have to worry about leaks at all?"

The day's trivial matters have been dealt with during the day, and it is time to do some serious things at night, such as destroying conspiracy and the like.

"I'm in the communication room right now, and I haven't been on the ground in Chiyo City for a while."

From the opposite side came Miss Detective's tired voice, "It took a lot of effort to interrogate the president of Lanmeng Technology recently."

"Is it okay to say that to me?"

"It's better to say that I have something to ask you."

Lilia said bluntly, "We tortured Nemo's mind and found traces of being blocked and cleaned."

As expected of an extraordinary organization, the torture method adopted is really different.

"You mean he made a countermeasure in advance?"

Li Wu guessed, "Or is he just a puppet?"

Lilia was noncommittal: "We don't know which one is closer to the truth, but my intuition tells me that the matter is not over yet. We also didn't ask whether Lanmeng Technology is related to the achievements recently announced by the Normalization Council-actually In fact, there is nothing related to the development of superpowers in his memory."

"Memory is not reliable."

Li Wu recalled those zombies in the refuge whose memories had been tampered with and mistakenly thought that the outside world had become a wasteland.

Whether it is intentional or forced, the president of Lanmeng Technology can use this to hide his memory.

"Indeed, so I would like to ask you to go and take a look at the place where the experimental subject was finally found."

Miss Detective made a request.

"I'd be more than happy to help if it helps to find the trouble for a while, but are you sure there are any valuable clues left in that place?"

Li Wu questioned.

According to the last information found in the refuge, the escaped test subject 032 was finally searched to its location, and was already dead when found, and even the body was recovered.

"I'm not sure, so I can't send someone down the sewer for my own instincts in this period of tight manpower."

A few wry smiles came from the phone, "I can only find help from people who are not under the jurisdiction of Lesson Nine. You know that my other superpower is extraperception, so I think I should pay attention to my intuition."

Although the occasions are completely different, Li Wu also highly believes in his intuition in battle, so he can indeed understand Lilia's seemingly surprised behavior.

"However, even if we found information related to Experimental Subject 032, what would it mean?"

Although he was ready to set off, Li Wu still asked a question and got a reasonable and unexpected answer.

"I think the hymn project is still a work in progress."

Miss Detective said firmly.

"Is this also part of the intuition?"

His rhetorical question made her laugh.

"Strictly speaking, there is still a little reasoning. You mentioned that there are a total of 666 test subjects, and I saw Christian-style decorations and classics in that place, which made me associate it."

"Because the number 666 is an extremely ominous number in the cultural system related to Christianity?"

After a little thought, Li Wu guessed what she wanted to say.

They believe that 6 itself is already an imperfect number, and 666 repeats the imperfection three times, which symbolizes extreme shortcomings, and is often linked to enemy symbols such as demons.

"You are right, but don't forget there is another reason."

There is another reason - Li Wu had a flash of inspiration.

Maybe he was deceived by the harmless appearance of humans and animals, but he ignored the possible connection between them.

"Nero."

He spit out a name that can represent not only the hottest artificial intelligence virtual idol nowadays, but also a tyrant who has existed in history.

"That's right, the name of the ancient Roman emperor who was famous for persecuting Christians was converted into Hebrew, and then the number codes corresponding to the letters were added together, and the result was exactly 666."

Lilia sighed, "I was also constrained by my own perspective. When I mentioned the development of superpowers, I thought of things like genetic engineering. In fact, according to our previous contact with Guiyi, what they are best at is It is right to use different worldviews to stitch together plausible effects."

This evaluation can be said to hit the nail on the head. If we follow this line of thinking, it is completely understandable to send that guy Abkhatak to handle the development of superpowers.

You thought it was following the scientific side of thinking, but in fact they might be doing mystic rituals, and finally they put a handful of Negative Realm monsters on it, and then told you that I was thinking about superpowers.

Li Wu quickly remembered his reaction to Nero's singing when he was listening to the idol concert [Dragon Blood Cross].

"If the Anthem Project is operating in a different form, shouldn't the most important thing to do now be to stop the operation of that artificial intelligence immediately?"

He didn't take the car, but jumped between the reinforced concrete in the city like the time he caught the leprechaun. The sound of howling wind passed by the sides, so that he had to hold the phone tightly to his ear to maintain a normal dialogue.

"This... is actually impossible. Nero's existence is already based on the Internet, and we just temporarily blocked it inside Chiyo City."

Li Wu resisted the urge to criticize the nine classes of the police.

It's not without reason that this organization was criticized by Aoi Xingchuan from the very beginning!

"And these are just guesses based on the number of experimental subjects, but in any case, I think these 666 original experimental subjects played an important role in the Anthem Project, otherwise Azure Pharmaceuticals would not have pursued them. After returning to 032, it disassembled and reorganized itself."

The towering blue dream technology headquarter building once again caught Li Wu's eyes, and the rotating advertising lights on the top flashed dazzlingly.

At the end of the documents found in the refuge supervisor's office, it is recorded that they recovered the body of 032, Hanayacho Uchiko Street.

Compared with the Hanayacho Ichibangai that I visited last time, this place is a bit deserted, but Li Wu noticed that his fanatical love for Nero is even worse.

Even the unemployed homeless lying on the corner of the street is holding a mobile phone, with earphones connected to it, listening to the singing of virtual idols.

He turned into the alley and stopped in front of a billboard that played "Nero, Help Realize Our Dreams" on a loop. After checking that there were no pedestrians around, he pried open the manhole cover in the middle of the road.

"Let's see what's in there, I personally hope it's not four green turtles."

Li Wu hung up the call with a mutter, and jumped into the intricate sewer system.
