The second underground floor of the municipal building.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom."

The man was wearing leather shoes and hurriedly walked through the corridor, his footsteps sounding very hasty.

The narrow corridor is very dark, illuminated only by a weak light. There are long pipes on the walls on both sides, and the temperature is much lower than upstairs. There is a cold smell in the cool air.

Kitahara Sosuke, who was following behind, walked almost silently. He walked slowly and turned on his phone at the same time. On the screen was a map of the basement. There was also a green arrow on the screen, pointing in the direction he was walking.

.

Not far in front of the arrow is a red dagger pattern, which represents the President Thomas Sindora who is walking in front of him at the moment. Further ahead, there is a big exclamation mark, which must be the one who is about to be killed.

Kenmura Zhongbin.

This picture comes from [Noah's Ark].

Of course, the artificial intelligence equivalent to a ten-year-old child did not know that Kitahara Sosuke already knew everything, so he briefly described the cause and effect in lines of text below the map.

[Tadabin Kenmura is the head of research and development of the game Cocoon, and he is also the biological father of my creator, Hiroki Sawada.]

Hiroki Sawada, became a genius child at the age of ten and became a graduate student at MIT in the United States. He was originally born in Japan. When he was six years old, he followed his mother to live in the United States because his parents divorced. After his mother died, he was adopted by Thomas Sindora

, two years ago, after developing [Noah’s Ark], he jumped from the top floor of his apartment and committed suicide.

His short but dazzling life can be seen on TV and newspapers almost every day recently due to the release of virtual games, and the Internet has been flooded with "Hiroki Sawada" and "Cocoon". It can be said that

No one knows it, no one knows it.

Therefore, Noah's Ark did not introduce any further words to Hiroki, but directly began to explain the reason:

[Two years ago, Hiroki developed a DNA tracking system and accidentally discovered that Thomas Sindora was a descendant of Jack the Ripper. Thomas Sindora was worried that if this matter was made public, everything about him would be in vain, so

He closely monitored Hiroki's life, causing him great mental oppression, which eventually led to Hiroki's suicide.】

[After Hiroki passed away, I sent his DNA tracking system to his biological father, Tadayoshi Kenmura, hoping that he would disclose the truth and avenge Hiroki. But unfortunately, he did not disclose it. ]

"It hasn't been made public?" Sosuke Kitahara said softly in a voice as subtle as a whisper.

[Yes, after discovering the truth, Tadabin Kenmura hid the information that "Thomas Sindora is a descendant of Jack the Ripper" in the "cocoon" while contacting that person. 】

"...Blackmail?" Kitahara Sosuke made the most reasonable guess.

[No, his purpose is not money, but...]

While talking, Kitahara Sosuke has also arrived outside the Kencun office on the third underground floor - this place is extremely hidden, surrounded by drainage pipes, ventilation pipes, air conditioning pipes, firefighting pipes, etc., all kinds of different thicknesses.

The metal pipes are crisscrossed and arranged very neatly, but it is obvious that even the cleaning staff and maintenance personnel do not come here often.

In other words, it's a good place to kill people and silence them.

Kitahara Sosuke, who was standing outside the door, had also heard what Tadabin Kenmura and Thomas Sindora said: "I don't intend to blackmail you, I just hope you can atone for your sins."

The man said in a voice that sounded particularly righteous.

Kitahara Sosuke's cell phone lit up slightly. He looked down and saw an emoticon showing "helplessness" on it.

He smiled and said softly: "It sounds very naive. But I think... he is really courageous."

Noah's Ark:【?】

"Hiroki knows that matter - your secret that is enough to destroy the Sindora Empire! But without the help of Hiroki's power, artificial intelligence cannot complete it. Therefore, you force Hiroki to work harshly and force

He completed it as soon as possible. Hiroki, who was mentally pushed to the limit, believed that after completing the artificial intelligence, he would be killed by you! So he let Noah's Ark, which could be said to be his clone, be released through the phone line.

Then, he committed suicide by jumping from the top floor of the apartment."

When Tadabin Kenmura told the tragedy that happened to Hiroki in a tone that was somewhat sad and somewhat nostalgic, but still calm, Kitahara Sosuke also said: "He did it on purpose."

【deliberately?】

"Put forward a condition that the other party is absolutely impossible to agree to, leaving no room for change for each other. Tadayaki Kenmura - he is forcing the other party to kill him!" Kitahara Sosuke lowered his eyes.

That's why he was still standing outside the door at this moment and did not rush in to interrupt Thomas Sindora's murder plan. Although this would put Kenmura Zhongbin at some risk, this was exactly the result that the man wanted!

[Why? As long as he chooses to make it public...]

"No, Noah. Bloodline is important, but bloodline is not everything." Kitahara Sosuke said: "Revealing the truth is equivalent to playing all the cards in his hand. He will have no chips, but the other party will have nothing to worry about.

As an ordinary programmer, Tadabin Kenmura has no means to retaliate against a president who has crossed over from a large group except for the truth about his bloodline. If he wants to effectively destroy Thomas Sindora, he must use his own life as a

cost!"

[Only by soaking yourself in blood can you drag the enemy into hell? 】

"That's right."

"That's why I said...he is very brave."

In the room, Kenmura Zhongbin said: "...After a while, my computer was invaded by the data of the DNA tracking program. That was done by Noah's Ark, which inherited Hiroki's legacy! I think it was Hiroki's.

The soul’s cry to me!”

Looking at his eyes, Thomas Sindora knew that this man would not give in no matter what. He whispered: "I will atone... I can make everything public. No matter what kind of sanctions, I am willing to do so."

Accept! But before that, can you let me take a look? The DNA tracking program you mentioned that Noah's Ark gave you."

"Can."

Kenmura Zhongbin lowered his eyes and said calmly, then turned his chair unpreparedly, turned his back to Thomas Sindora, and started operating on the computer.

The man's fingers tapped on the keyboard, making a rhythmic "ta-ta-da" sound. Looking at his back, Thomas Sindora gritted his teeth, hating the other person's lack of room for mercy. He put on the plastic gloves and took out the prepared gloves from his sleeves.

dagger.

As if unaware, Kenmura Tadobin entered the code, opened the tracking system, and said: "This is the undead that transcended time and space and was transported to modern London..."

He turned around and saw Thomas Sindora holding a dagger in both hands and rushing towards him with a ferocious face. He shouted uncontrollably in his throat:

"ah……"

"Bang!"

The door slammed hard on the cabinet on one side, making a clanging sound, and several books fell with a crash.

"laugh--"

The dagger pierced the person's body, and blood immediately poured out.

"Uh-huh!"

Thomas Sindora screamed in agony, and his whole body fell on the computer case next to him. His forehead was also broken, and warm blood flowed down, blurring his vision.

Tadabin Kenmura, who had a knife stabbed in his shoulder, was shaking all over in pain. He covered the wound with a cold sweat on his face. He first glanced at Thomas Sindora who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up, and then looked at the man who suddenly appeared in the room.

The young people inside.

Black hair, eyes like black gems, white shirt, black suit - the colors on his body are extremely monotonous, but his visual sense can feel a strong impact.

The appearance... is completely unfamiliar.

"Who are you?" Thomas Sindora, who couldn't get up after trying several times, lay on his side on the ground and yelled what Tadashi Kenmura wanted to say at this moment: "Damn it! Who the hell are you?"

As he spoke, he glared at Kenmura Zhongbin fiercely.

In his opinion, there is no doubt that the young man in front of him is the helper brought in by Kenmura Tadahina - he did not expect that this guy looks honest and stupid on the surface, but is actually so insidious! Not long ago, a detective (Yusaku Kudo) was invited to investigate Hiro

The truth behind Shu’s death is that he is still arranging people to ambush him here!

Now think about it, those words that Kenmura Zhongbin just said were all to confuse himself, right? No wonder this guy was so naive and directly believed his promise. Just now he was still laughing at this guy's stupidity in his heart! It turns out that the real

The stupid person is actually myself!

Thomas Syndora regretted it so much that he stretched out his fingers to grab the dagger, but the severe pain caused all the cells in his body to protest at the slightest movement.

Kitahara Sosuke ignored no one. He first called the Megure Police Department, and then called an ambulance. Then he said to Kenmura Tadaki: "Don't cut the knife first, otherwise excessive blood loss may lead to death."

."

"I...I know." Kenmura Zhongbin, whose face was as pale as paper, breathed hard and reluctantly said, "Excuse me, are you..."

"Kitahara Sosuke." The young man replied.

Seeing that the two of them did not know each other, Thomas Sindora felt that he had guessed the truth and sneered: "I know! Which company's commercial espionage are you? Damn it! I knew you morons would never disappear!

How did you get the invitation?"

Hearing this, Kenmura Zhongbin subconsciously wanted to use his body to block the computer behind him.

Thomas Sindora's incident made him feel that although the DNA tracking system is very advanced, advanced technology may not bring people happiness, and may even create more tragedies in this world. If this system will be used in crimes

, he would rather destroy it with his own hands.

"Don't be nervous." Kitahara Sosuke saw his intention and said: "I am not a commercial spy, I am just here to save you."

"Save...me?" Kenmura Zhongbin was completely confused.

Kithara Sosuke said calmly: "Yes, I received the commission for Noah's Ark."

He turned on his phone and turned the page where he was receiving messages to Kenmura Tadobin so that he could clearly read the words "Noah's Ark" on it.
