Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Chapter 433 Who do you think I, Roland!
"Originally I was planning to keep Saten-san away from this project, so why did I end up getting involved?"

Looking at Saten Ruiko who was excitedly pulling Hatsuharu Shikiri away, Shirai Kuroko couldn't help but sigh as the two girls' backs gradually went away.

At her fingertips, the exquisite ID card was drawing eye-catching arcs in the air with each swing of her wrist.

She had just made up her mind not to get involved with Lanmeng Company, but ended up becoming an employee of Lanmeng Company without knowing it.

But even though the slap in the face came so quickly, after realizing the purpose of this ID card, the girl took it after some hesitation.

After all, as Roland said, there is no conflict between the identities of the Discipline Committee member and the non-staff employee of Lanmeng Company.

Although there is a possibility of being deceived or corrupted if you join the inside, it is much better than being blocked from accessing information before.

only--

"That's really suspicious. I thought that guy would ask me to owe him another favor in exchange for his assistance..."

Shirai Kuroko grunted.

No matter from which angle you look at it, if Roland really has some dark secrets that she wants to hide, giving her the identity of Lanmeng Company will do more harm than good.

Moreover, even the favor that was left for her mistake was actively cancelled out by Roland using this excuse.

After putting herself in the other person's shoes, the girl even felt a little ashamed.

Could it be that despite his extremely twisted personality, that guy is unexpectedly a good person?

"Just say that you think too much, Kuroko."

On the other side, Misaka Mikoto also put her hands behind her head and walked on the road with an unladylike pace.

"Although I have not completely eliminated my concerns about the Dream Maker, the possibility that the urban legend of the Phantom Hand is related to it is too small."

Just by looking at the brief description of the project, one can easily understand the enormity of the Dream Creator Project, which requires an alien raw stone that is superior to the superpowers to develop the core equipment in the new system.

Even the scraps among them are the computing power improvement that those with abilities dream of.

To complete this project, both the theoretical construction and the implementation of the device require extremely strong financial resources and background.

In the legend of the Fantasy Hand, its greatest effect is nothing more than increasing the level. In Roland's introduction, this advantage is just an insignificant byproduct of the Dream Creator.

"Let's take a step back and say that even if there is some conspiracy behind this project, there shouldn't be a scandal when the first batch of people are just testing the waters before it is widely disseminated, right?"

"Well……"

Because this rebuttal was too powerful, the twin ponytails behind Shirai Kuroko's head drooped down.

That’s right, in terms of cost and results, it’s not worth it.

They went to so much trouble just to cause trouble for the Discipline Committee and plant such an obvious hidden danger.

This doesn't seem like the style of a force that even the discipline committee members of official institutions have no authority to review.

What's more, from a procedural perspective, Lanmeng Company has also shirked a lot of responsibilities.

Although the specific process and technology of Dream Creator have not been announced, this device is sold as a product.

Once purchased, it is open to inspection by the purchaser.

Considering the other hostile forces and spies in Academy City, the possibility of having a backup plan that could pose a huge hidden danger is really low.

Moreover, there is no mandatory installation after purchasing this thing. Even if the user does not want to install it through the official channels of Lanmeng Company, it is allowed to go to a private doctor by himself. The manufacturer is just not responsible for any accidents in the process.

From this point of view, it is more likely that someone has tampered with this middle channel.

"Kuroko knows this too, but he always feels that Roland is too calm. He has the ability to defeat even his elder sister, and he is also a high-ranking company employee. Would he be so indifferent to the project he is in charge of?"

Shirai Kuroko folded his hands and spoke softly.

"Rather than being indifferent to the unexpected events that happened to the Dream Makers project, he seemed more like... he was happy to see it happen."

"What kind of image do you have of Roland? Do you really regard him as the villain in the urban legend that even the chairman has to stay away from?"

Misaka Mikoto mercilessly complained about Shirai Kuroko and rubbed the other's head.

"Although he is not reliable, I don't think he is that bad."

"That's right, since my elder sister said so..."

Shirai Kuroko had only mentioned it casually, and just when she was about to end the topic, she suddenly looked at Misaka Mikoto with vigilance.

and many more.

It seems that from the beginning, the elder sister has been speaking in a way that is biased towards Roland?

Although the words were very objective and neutral, considering how Misaka Mikoto usually rated other people, this was already a very intimate attitude.

The other party is a dangerous person. Could it be that my elder sister has been defiled without my knowledge?

She felt anxious.

"Could it be that, elder sister, you like that type of men?"

"Huh?! What are you talking about!?"

Misaka Mikoto's pretty face turned slightly red, and her hands were dancing nervously, and steam was almost coming out of her head.

It seems like he is still not immune to this kind of talk, but it doesn't look like the worst situation is happening.

However, this reaction...

Shirai Kuroko was horrified and became alert as if he was protecting his own child.

It seems that it was a good decision to take this job. Otherwise, let alone interfere, I wouldn't even be able to check the progress of their relationship.

If her elder sister was attracted to Roland, she would be in tears.

"It was just a joke, onee-sama, please forget what happened just now." Shirai Kuroko clasped her hands together, stuck out her tongue playfully, and deliberately gave her a charming look, begging for forgiveness.

"Kuroko!"

After grabbing the girl's face and kneading it like plasticine, Misaka Mikoto still forgave her angrily.

"What should we do next? It ended much earlier than expected. I remember that Kuroko-kun also took a leave of absence from his work as the Discipline Committee member today. Should we go back to Tokiwadai directly later?"

Shirai Kuroko shook his head.

"It's rare to get such convenient authority. It would be a waste if I don't use it. I have already applied for an investigation at the hospital that handled the Dream Creator's surgery with the identity of an investigator from Blue Dream Company. They should send a car to pick me up later."

"Did the other party come on his own initiative?"

Misaka Mikoto was a little surprised.

Although she is a person with super powers, she does not use this identity to fight for power and profit, so apart from receiving generous bonuses every month, in most cases, she is just an ordinary student.

You need to go to the hospital to see a doctor, and go to a research institution for routine check-ups.

I didn't expect that I could get such preferential treatment just with an ID card.

"After all, it's Blue Dream Company... It's OK for the people in their headquarters. In the outside world, although there is a lot of public opinion, few people really dare to openly confront it."

There was also a hint of pride in Shirai Kuroko's tone.

Although she had expected this, she was secretly pleased to see that the inquiring message she sent out would receive such a solemn and attentive reply. When she recalled the way those people evaded and prevaricated when she was investigating cases as a member of the Discipline Committee, she could still feel that she was being scolded at ordinary times, but at this moment, she had to admit that the identity of being an employee of Lanmeng Company was still very popular.

Thinking of this, Shirai Kuroko turned her head and looked at Misaka Mikoto.

"Speaking of which, do you want to go with me, onee-sama? It's a good opportunity to hear the opinions of outside professionals on the Dream Makers. We can't just blindly believe that guy's one-sided words."

Misaka Mikoto hesitated for a moment. After the previous events, her curiosity about the Dream Maker had indeed increased a lot.

Since I'm already here, there's no harm in going along.

And Shirai Kuroko's purpose is also very simple. If the Dream Creator has no problems, she would certainly be happy to see her elder sister and herself take a step further.

If there are indeed any defects, the information obtained on the front line can be used as a reference to help the two understand the truth about the device.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Shirai Kuroko from Blue Dream Company?"

At this moment, a somewhat unfamiliar voice suddenly came from behind the girl.

"It's me." Shirai Kuroko quickly turned her head.

The woman standing behind her was as mature and gentle as her voice.

She looks very young, with fair skin and pretty features.

Although she was wearing a white researcher's robe and her wavy brown hair looked a little unkempt, it still couldn't hide her beautiful appearance.

The only thing that is worrying is probably the somewhat gloomy face and the dazed look in his eyes, as if he hasn't had a good rest for a long time.

"May I ask you are……"

Shirai Kuroko asked cautiously.

"Oh, sorry, I should have introduced myself first."

The woman in white robe tapped her head, using this action to make the laziness on her face less pronounced.

Although it was a bit regrettable that she behaved in such a drowsy way, she didn't seem to care about it at all.

"My name is Kiyama Haruo, and I have been invited by the Mizuho Institution Hospital to assist you in the investigation of the suspected Fantasy Hand incident."

She smiled and extended her hand towards Shirai Kuroko.

"Next, until the real culprit is found, please take care of me, Ms. Shirai."

----

"What a bad taste! They actually led the third one to investigate the already large-scale Fantasy Hand. You should know that if they can't make a final decision, it will only cause greater chaos, right?"

Mai Ye Shenli, who was leaning against the wall, said leisurely.

"Isn't that just right? We have to give those guys a sense of urgency from time to time to motivate them to work harder."

Roland, who was sitting behind his desk, calmly tapped the table with his fingertips.

"Otherwise, she will become suspicious because of the calm attitude of Blue Dream Company. Misaka Mikoto and the others can serve as appropriate stimulation."

"And I'm not lying. With that ID card, if Shirai Kuroko is sharp enough, with the help of Misaka Mikoto, before the Fantasy Hand spreads, maybe the incident can be brought to an end..."

"Oh, that's better."

Mai Ye Shenli curled his lips and rolled his eyes at Roland.

This is indeed possible, but there are too many unstable factors involved, especially after the Dream Maker is involved.

"But is it okay to do this? Haven't you always been optimistic about the third person's qualifications in magnetic field rotation and thought that she was indispensable if she wanted to surpass me?"

"Its indispensability is mainly reflected in its versatility. In the final version of Dream Creator to be sold to ordinary people, building a server like an external surrogate brain is a key prerequisite."

Looking at the somewhat indignant Mai Ye Shenli, Roland smiled slightly.

"Besides, if we really talk about the talent of magnetic field rotation, no one can compare with Fanfeng Runzi who is beside Xiaoqi."

"Tsk..."

Mai Ye Shenli, who was still complaining, suddenly fell silent.

She had a deep impression of the purple-haired girl who had just taken Shokuhou Misaki back to Tokiwadai.

Because that ability is too powerful.

Dress in heavenly clothes.

It is the ability to strengthen the body by manipulating the electrical signals of body cells.

This is a perfect match with the rotation of the magnetic field. According to Roland, with the help of this ability, she will have extremely terrifying flow and control.

Although there are still side effects now, if it is limited to one attack, the power that Fanfeng Runzi can burst out has surpassed everyone except Roland.

After the girl's potential is developed into a person with super powers, she may not be the strongest person in the Blue Dream Organization under Roland.

Mai Ye Shenli gathered her hair in annoyance. In order to prevent this from becoming a reality, she had to gain merit faster so that she could legitimately receive Roland's guidance.

"So, what is the mission this time, leader? You specifically asked me to give up those marginal missions and come back. I guess this matter must be very important, right?"

"Of course, this time's mission——hiss…"

Roland was only halfway through his words when he inexplicably took a breath and propped up his chin lazily.

Such a strange behavior made Mai Ye Shenli frown, as if he understood something, and there was a hint of unspeakable anger in his bright eyes.

She took a few steps forward and found it was true.

Under the desk, the girl was kneeling with her head down and her shoulders shrugging.

Judging from the beads of sweat on her forehead, she had obviously been here for some time.

"Roland——! You actually let Takitsubo do this! While he was talking to me!"

Mai Ye Shenli's eyes looked like they were about to spit fire, and his face was full of anger.

After being tamed by Roland, she hadn't shown such a resentful and murderous expression in front of him for a long time, which showed how angry she was today.

But all this obviously had no deterrent effect on Roland.

"Although cell reorganization can restore the damage caused by the body crystal in the past, the life span overdrawn in this way is not so easy to make up."

Looking at Takitsubo Rikou who was still trying to hold on despite choking, puffing out her cheeks and sobbing hard.

He patted the girl's back, then moved up along the soft curve, gently stroking her silky hair.

"And the vitality I possess can make up for this."

"Moreover, the psychological addiction problem of linking drugs with abilities cannot be solved overnight. This gradual replacement method can slowly eliminate this bad habit."

"Who do you take me for? It's only because you, Mugino, see yellow with your yellow eyes."

Roland said with a righteous look on his face, as if he had made up his mind.

"To me, this is a perfectly normal medical procedure... probably."
