Chapter 64: Investigation [Please Support the Genuine Version!Second Update]
Shota Kazama, age twenty-three, occupation, investigator, former Taito representative to Nintendo.
The car stopped, and the sun overhead, although shining brightly, was indeed cold on the body. Shoes fell to the ground, dust was flying, birds chirped in the trees around them, and barbed wire gates slowly opened.
Shota Kazama walked in with heavy steps.
This is his new mission, infiltrating the video game electrotherapy station to find evidence of their crimes.
The air in the countryside is indescribably fresh, and Shota Kazama has no way to control his fate.
From 10,000 households to the electrotherapy center, he is like a tumbleweed, and he will go wherever the wind blows.

Putting down the materials in his hand, Takahashi looked at the scenery in the distance and rested his eyes.
With the popularity of video games, more and more people are playing video games, and various peripheral industries around video games have gradually become prosperous.
It is against this backdrop that the electrotherapy clinic was created.
Legend has it that the largest electrotherapy center in the company today is the Tokyo Electrotherapy Center located on the outskirts of Tokyo, which was recently renamed the Tokyo Electrotherapy School for Addictive Diseases of Video Games.
The director or principal of the school, whose surname is Kagawa, is a former orthopedic surgeon who specializes in using an electrotherapy machine to solve muscle discomfort for patients.
It is said that he first did electrotherapy to relieve his addiction to video games, and it was not something he thought of as soon as his mind opened. Rather, the parent of a second-year junior high school student brought his child to him and asked him for electrotherapy.
Dr. Kagawa was a serious doctor, and when he took office, he took the Hippocratic Oath. He just made a slight attempt to click, at the position of the boy's temple.
After the faint smell of barbecue wafted through the sky, the child, who seemed to be very dishonest and shouted that he wanted to play a game, fell silent.
He will do whatever he wants, except for his eyes being a little dull and occasionally a little saliva flowing from the corner of his mouth, he is simply the most well-behaved child in the world.
The child's mother saw that Dr. Kagawa had cured her child and was grateful to Dade. When he returned home, he not only let the neighbors see his children who had reformed from evil and reformed, but also loudly preached Kagawa's electric shock therapy.
There are many parents who are troubled by their children's love of playing video games, and many parents have heard rumors of Dr. Kagawa's electroshock therapy. They found Dr. Kagawa's orthopedic hospital and asked Dr. Kagawa to treat their children.
"Is your child disobedient and playing games all the time?" one parent asked.
Another parent's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, yes, yes! My child is addicted to games, and when the meal is ready, he won't eat it, and he has to wait until the meal is cold!"
"Oops, your kid must be suffering from video game addiction. Let me tell you, there was a doctor Kagawa who was very experienced in treating this disease, and I don't know how many people came to him and cured the disease. ”
"Yes, yes, can you tell me the contact information, I'm going to take my kids with me, too!"
"At Shinagawa-ku 2-chome Chiba Orthopedic Hospital. ”
……
Later, as Dr. Kagawa's fame grew, more and more family members brought patients to see him every day. Out of justice, Dr. Kagawa resigned from Chiba Orthopaedic Hospital, where he had worked for 20 years, and founded the Tokyo Electrotherapy Center.
Dr. Kagawa, who has been in contact with people with video game addiction for a long time, points out that the environment is a major factor in the patient's development of the disease.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to locate the Tokyo Electrotherapy Center on the outskirts of Xinju, a place full of forests.
Birds singing and flowers, electric arcs sparkling.
There's no better way to treat video game addiction.
If it is also popular to hang pennants, it is estimated that the Tokyo Electrotherapy Center has been covered with pennants.
Takahashi returned his gaze to the information, which was just a collection of rumors by the investigators on the market. Credibility is almost nil in Takahashi's view.
Takahashi had another piece of information in his hand, which was not collected by investigators, but obtained through special channels.
This is a bank statement. It includes Dr. Kagawa, the first mother and child, and the funding dynamics of several American foundations.
It can be seen through this flowing water. Dr. Kagawa's so-called doctor's conscience and the child's mother's so-called cure are just business.
A middle-aged Kagawa doctor who has been lending money for decades, even if he is in conscience, how can he get a large piece of land in his heart?
Takahashi locked the secret information in a safe.
The general public will not believe this kind of circumstantial evidence. They need emotional evidence, and emotional evidence is obtained by Shota Kazama and several other intelligence agents who don't know each other.
Takahashi even thought of a new genre of games - the horror genre in this electrotherapy incident.
The helpless protagonist is sent to an electrotherapy center to escape from a demonic doctor, solve a trap, and finally escape.
Horror games similar to Takahashi's memory are set in a mental hospital. However, Takahashi felt that if the electrotherapy center was used as the background, it might make the players who played the game more immersive and more terrifying.
However, this idea is not in a hurry to make a game, and we will have to wait for some dust to settle.

When the electrotherapy center was in full swing, mothers' love for "Endless Fantasy" also reached a peak.
The mothers who control the family finances are more crazy than anyone else, and the first-day limited edition of "Endless Fantasy" was even fired for a sky-high price of 100,000 yen.
Not only that, but the sales of the regular version have also ushered in a new peak. The sales of merchandise are also surprisingly good.
Even, there are some manufacturers of detergents who have come to Wanhu to ask for business cooperation. Request that the slime be printed on dish soap or toilet bowl cleaner.
Even the cleaning block thrown in the water tank is made into a dark blue color that trembles like a slime in the game.
Naturally, Takahashi will not refuse these commercial cooperation, but he does not cooperate with all manufacturers. First of all, exclude those whose own goods are too poor in quality. Their use of characters from "Endless Fantasy" may in turn damage the reputation of Wanhu.
The remaining manufacturers are the ones with the highest price, and in the end, Kao, the giant of the washing industry, won the right to use the characters of "Endless Fantasy".

Shigeru Miyamoto is already a well-known game producer, but he still likes to ride his bike.
When he passed by a nearby department store after work today, he saw housewives lining up in front of the play area to see the "Endless Fantasy" they snapped up. Feeling confirmed, Endless Fantasy opened a new door for video games.
