Chapter 756: The Witch's Image and Life Are About to Be Ruined [Update]
The more Fujino thought about it, the more confused he became.
It feels more and more brain-burning, and the world seems to be getting stranger and stranger.
But everything seems to have a traceable path.
Before, Koizumi Akako said that a long time ago, the Vatican organized a witch hunt... According to their rules of controlling the world and making it a better place, they are indeed capable of doing such a thing.
And Koizumi Akako doesn't dare to use magic "openly", and she is probably afraid of them.
The Vatican, as far as he remembered, was the headquarters of the Italian Knights Templar. If that was the case, then it was the Italian Knights Templar who were conducting the witch hunt.
However, it seems that Koizumi Akako doesn't know much else.
He hadn't even been told about the Templars.
He was wondering at the time whether it was done by the Knights Templar.
Now it seems very likely.
The 'Cocoon' project is more like the predecessor of Ambostera Entertainment, using the Animus, a device that can read genetic memory, to create a virtual reality machine.
The gods and bloodline inheritance that Koizumi Hongzi talked about can also be compared.
He originally thought that the animal organization's search for the [Pandora's Gem] that could give people immortality was just a joke. Although he had associated it with the idea, he didn't think too much about it. If you look at it this way, then the [Pandora's Gem] does exist and it even has the ability to give people immortality.
More importantly, his Eagle Vision.
He originally thought that the gene enhancement potion produced by the system was something for gene enhancement, but if it was really as he guessed...
The system is introduced as [a product of human genetic engineering that can enhance special abilities based on the actual situation of the individual] rather than granting abilities.
In fact, he already possesses the Eagle Vision, so the Eagle Vision only appears after the gene is enhanced.
Since Hawkeye is like this...
Are the appearance of the assassin's robe and hidden blade really just a coincidence?
The more Fujino thought about it, the more his scalp tingled. The things he had ignored or even not taken to heart before seemed to be connected together like a thread at this moment.
Fujino thought for a moment and then asked Sawada Hiroki, "Do you know about the Templars and Assassins?"
"I have heard of these things, but I only found them on the Internet."
Hiroki Sawada thought for a moment and explained, "There is almost no information about the Knights Templar and the Assassins on the Internet. Most entries and results are historical events. But in fact, there is some information in the deep web that indicates that the two sides are engaged in a secret war, and Ambostera Industries is the front company organization led by the Knights Templar. However, the authenticity of this information cannot be confirmed for the time being. Most of this information will be deleted instantly after being uploaded to the Internet, so even if people have heard of it, they will not believe it. They will think it is a conspiracy theory similar to whether ghosts really exist."
Fujino listened quietly and asked in a deep voice: "Have you investigated the truth of these things?"
"I can sense that you are doubting me, Fujino-san, but this is very normal. After all, Hiroki was previously working for Schindler's Company, which is connected to Ambostera Industries, and Ambostera attacked you again."
Hiroki Sawada could hear Fujino's suspicion, but he was not angry. He just explained calmly: "The Internet is not a place where you can do whatever you want. There are many forbidden areas in cyberspace that cannot be entered. There are intelligence networks of various countries and firewalls of some large companies. Even I cannot break into them without intervening in reality and using physical means."
"Hiroki paid attention to this matter when he was at MIT. Some of his college classmates have done research on this matter. Naturally, I am also very interested in this matter, but this is all I know so far. As for whether it is true or not, I am not sure."
Fujino nodded slightly upon hearing this, and then warned: "Hiroki, don't continue investigating this matter. You have already destroyed yourself on the surface. Ambostera Industries is far more dangerous than you think. It will be very dangerous if you are discovered."
"I see."
Hiroki responded, and then asked Fujino:
"So Fujino-kun, are you an assassin?"
"I'm not an assassin, I'm just a detective."
…………
Fujino stood up from the park bench, glanced at the hazy morning sun, thought for a moment, and dialed another phone number with the note [Koizumi Akako]:
"Beep...beep..." After a series of waiting prompt sounds, the call was connected, and a resentful voice came from the other end: "Fujino, why are you calling so early?"
On the other end of the phone, Koizumi Akako was wearing pink pajamas, lying on the bed with her eyes squinting, a look of resentment on her face.
Fujino frowned when he heard that, glanced at his Rolex watch, and then jokingly said, "Do witches still get grumpy when they wake up?"
"Don't you see what time it is?"
Koizumi Hongzi yawned unhappily: "It's only six o'clock now, okay? No one goes to school as early as you, and today is Saturday..."
"Is it Saturday?"
Fujino on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then glanced at his phone: "It seems to be Saturday."
"..."
So, isn't it common sense that today is Saturday?
Koizumi Hongzi was speechless for a moment, then she stretched out her hand and yawned: "So why are you calling me so early? What's the matter?"
"Where is your home? I'll come over there."
Fujino said bluntly: "I have something to tell you in person."
"My home is in the forest outside Tokyo..."
Koizumi Hongzi was halfway through her words when she suddenly realized, "Wait...what did you say? You want to come to my house?"
"The forest outside of Tokyo?"
Fujino thought for a moment and said, "I see. I'll be there in about ten or twenty minutes. I'll be at your doorstep soon."
"and many more!"
Koizumi Hongzi on the other end of the phone was panicked: "How can you go to a girl's house so early in the morning? And, I didn't tell you where my home is?"
"I didn't say that."
Fujino nodded and replied: "It's not a big problem though, I can find it."
"Wait, what can you find..."
Before Koizumi Hongzi could finish her words, the call was hung up.
"Beep beep..."
There was a crisp notification tone from the other end of the phone.
"..."
Koizumi Hongzi held the phone in her hand, a confused look on her face, her eyes slightly widened, and she woke up immediately without any sleepiness.
She quickly jumped off the red retro-style bed, then stepped on a book that looked like it had some history, and fell flat on her face.
"It hurts..."
Koizumi Hongzi got up from the ground, gritted her teeth and covered her butt, then looked around her bedroom which was decorated in extremely messy black and red, and fell into deep thought.
The witch's image is about to be completely ruined!
If Fujino saw such a messy room, my proud witch image and life would be ruined, right?
It will definitely happen, right?!
