After seeing that everyone had gone to rest, Shihua asked Katsura softly, "How are things?

Thinking of Chris who was interrogated just now, Katsuragi sighed, sat down next to Shihua and replied: "Only two people were caught, and the whereabouts of the others are still unknown, but Seijiro Kikuoka is already interrogating." ”

"Okay!" Shika frowned when she heard that only two were caught, and then asked, "How are you?"

"It's okay! Sister Shihua!" Gui Mu shook his head and said with a smile: "I didn't participate in the arrest, how could I be injured!"

"Well, that's the best!" Shihua nodded, then looked at Katsuragi and asked, "You don't have to worry about the rest of the business, right?"

"Ugh!"

Katsura Mu froze, not knowing how to answer, although he already knew that it was only the reason for Shinkawa Shoichi that caused him to be attacked, and the other party should not be entangled if he left, but now that he finally has a clue, Katsuragi doesn't want to give up like this.

When she saw Katsura Mu's expression, Shihua knew the answer, and couldn't help frowning and said, "Xiaomu, you have also seen it, even without you, they can catch the criminals, so protecting yourself is the most important thing!"

Katsuragi was silent for a long time, but finally shook his head and replied: "Sister Shihua, I still can't leave at this time, even if I don't arrest Poh them, I have to help Professor Shigemura study Yuna's problem first, so ......"

Seeing that Shihua had been looking at him with calm eyes, Katsura Mu couldn't say anything, in fact, he knew better that the biggest reason why he didn't want to leave was to catch the other party, and the others were just excuses.

"Okay!"

In the end, Shihua compromised, came to Guimu and gently hugged Guimu, and said in a whisper: "You have never disappointed since you were a child, so this time too, you must not have an accident, understand?"

"Hmm!"

Guimu also hugged Shihua, his heart was full of emotion, and he assured Shihua: "Don't worry, Sister Shihua, I have superpowers!"

"Poof!"

Hearing Katsuragi's words, Shihua smiled inexplicably, and after letting go of Katsuragi, she patted his head and said, "Okay!

"Uh......"

"Rest early!

After saying goodnight to Katsuragi, Shihua returned to his room and began to rest, while Katsuragi looked at the starry sky outside, and inexplicably remembered that he had promised everyone to watch meteors together, and he didn't know when it would be realized.

The night passed, and the next day was close to noon, and Katsuragi still didn't receive a call from Seijiro Kikuoka, which made him a little puzzled, and still used the reason of helping Shigemura Toru to leave the residence and find Seijiro Kikuoka.

"Katsuragi!?Why are you here?"

When he saw Katsuraki, Seijiro Kikuoka was stunned, as if he didn't expect Katsuragi to come to him.

"Hasn't the interrogation been inconclusive yet?" asked Katsuragi, who couldn't feel at ease if he didn't get rid of the smiling coffin for a day.

Seijiro Kikuoka's body was slightly invisible, then he pushed his eyes, looked at Katsuragi and shook his head and replied, "No, the rest of the people don't open their mouths, they can't ask anything! Have you eaten, let's go have lunch together!"

Katsuragi squinted at Seijiro Kikuoka, and his intuition told him that Seijiro Kikuoka didn't seem quite right, something was hiding from him!?

"Good!"

Katsuragi agreed, and at the same time gave Seijiro Kikuoka a deep look, and he felt the need to find out what he was hiding.

Noticing Katsuragi's gaze, Seijiro Kikuoka frowned slightly in the dark and sighed, but he didn't expect him to be so careful, but he was still noticed by Katsuragi that there were some problems.

Coming to a restaurant not far away, the two found a quiet small box, and after ordering the menu, no one sat there and spoke first!

It wasn't until the food was all served that Seijiro Kikuoka picked up his chopsticks and said to Katsuragi, "Okay, let's eat quickly!"

Katsuragi didn't move, just sat there and looked straight at Seijiro Kikuoka, and when he saw that he was unusually uncomfortable, he said, "It's a very confidential matter?"

"Hmm!?what's very secret?" Seijiro Kikuoka made a puzzled look, but there was some helplessness in the depths of his eyes, but he didn't expect Katsuragi to really find out.

"Do you already know their purpose?" Katsuragi ignored Seijiro Kikuoka, who was pretending to be stupid, and continued to ask, "If you don't say it, I'll find out in other ways!"

"Uh......"

Seijiro Kikuoka is a little helpless, to be honest, he has an inexplicable feeling of jealousy towards Katsuraki, although it was because of the comics at the beginning, he wanted to have a good relationship with Katsuragi, but after so long, the more he knew about Katsuragi, the more mysterious he felt.

He believed that Katsuragi was not joking when he said this, so he sighed, looked at the table full of sumptuous meals, had no appetite at all, put down his chopsticks and replied, "This is indeed a very confidential matter. ”

"What is it?"

Katsuragi was shocked, looked at Seijiro Kikuoka and said reassuringly: "Believe me, I will never tell anyone!"

"Alas!"

Seijiro Kikuoka sighed silently, then looked at Katsuragi seriously before he replied, "The other party's purpose is our latest research!"

"Latest research!?"

Katsuragi was a little puzzled.

"Under orld!" Seijiro Kikuoka said softly, "a high-quality virtual world developed by Soul Translator (STL) using Subjective Time Rate Acceleration (STRA) and The Seed!"

"Uh!" Listening to this bunch of complicated terms, Katsuragi's head was a little dizzy, and after thinking for a long time, he returned: "Game!?"

"Hmm!" Seijiro Kikuoka nodded: "It's not wrong to say it's a game!"

"But the ultimate goal of this project is to develop advanced artificial intelligence (Bottom-up AI) to develop unmanned weapons!" said Seijiro Kikuoka, "The creatures inside are all AI cultivated by the "Fluctlight" of STL replicating babies, and they have the same rich emotional expression and thinking as real humans!"

“……”

Katsuragi looked at Seijiro Kikuoka in surprise, he didn't expect the other party to be able to develop the technology to such a point, although he didn't understand some of the terms, but he could still understand the last sentence.

Seijiro Kikuoka's research is like another world, where humans or NPCs are basically the same as humans except for their bodies, fundamentally different from the current ALO or other virtual worlds.

Katsuragi somewhat understands why Seijiro Kikuoka was reluctant to tell him about it at first, this is indeed a state secret, and Seijiro Kikuoka can tell him, which means that he really trusts him!
