Institute of North Siberia, a joint research institute of the 9th and 7th districts. The www.biquge.info claims that this is a study of mental illness, but what about the facts? Maybe it's just that, deep underground in the research institute, the demon god floating in mid-air stared at the huge glass dish in the middle of the warehouse with interest, and the strange existence in the glass dish also stared at her.

"It's funny, didn't you expect humans to be able to capture such a thing?"

The strange presence in the glass dish appeared in some kind of indescribable biological form, but to Mora, that form was all too familiar, it was the form she used to show people, full of tentacles and eyes, it looked disgusting, but the object in the glass dish, all covered in an unnatural purple. A few minutes ago, the object inside the glass was a girl under the age of ten. But soon, under the gaze of the Lori Demon God, the object changed into the previous girl's appearance again, Mora lay outside the glass, and the purple girl among them also learned her movements, like Mora in the mirror, lying on the other side of the glass.

"I can feel the knowledge that fills the whole glass vessel, but I can't get through it, it's amazing, is this the power of human technology? What kind of world is not to be underestimated, and... What does this have to do with that waste owner of mine, I'm sure, do you think so too? ”

Mora said this, her dark pupils staring at the purple 'object', as if she was asking about the purple object inside the glass.

Soon, the answer came.

It was a voice that came directly from the depths of Mora's head, just like she had used when she was still a demon god.

"So, you're a void thing?"

The unnatural purple color revealed this, though Mora asked.

Answering Mora's question like a machine.

"So, do you have a name?"

"Ah, that's stupid, I think most of the AI is more intelligent than you."

What a loss. Mora pouted, but she had been here for so long, and I am afraid that she would have been discovered by the humans at this base a long time ago. But it didn't matter, she didn't think that a human who didn't even know what a human plane was could capture her. She was also waiting, waiting for the humans of this base to come. Talking to this object now is just killing time.

The purple object suddenly said another word, which was enough to make the bored Lori Demon God interested.

――――

Siberian Research Institute, second floor, conference room.

"Our minds are part of nature, and we have no way of prescribing nature, the so-called laws of nature, the passage of time, except that we narrate what we believe it to be and do our best to describe how they happen."

The purple-haired man in a suit and leather shoes stood on the stage, he had no speech script or electronic equipment in his hands, he just gave a speech to his compatriots with a hot pillow.

"Creatures fear the unknown, because the unknown means that there may be threats, so human beings try to deny as much as possible what threatens them - that is, the unknown itself. Science should never deny anything unknown, but study and prove it. The world is beautiful, don't be complacent and deny the possibilities of nature. ”

"Doctor, the next experiment is about to begin."

The guard reminded.

"Okay, please wait."

The man bowed slightly, and then asked the audience:

"Anyone else wants to ask anything?"

"Dr. Flower, should we refute the fact that string theory has been confirmed, if it is according to you?"

"No, it's not about denying existing ideas, it's about exploring, exploring the unknown, the ununderstood. Perhaps a discovery based on any pre-existing ideas could completely overturn the existing scientific system. You know, a few decades ago, most people were dismissive of string theory. ”

The man explained with a smile.

"Thank you very much, doctor."

"Any questions?" The man said, glancing around the conference room.

Soon, he noticed that the guard was on the radio, and after saying a few words, he immediately frowned, and soon hung up the radio and walked towards him. He understood that this was the end of the Q&A.

"I'm sorry, Doctor, but there's something you need to deal with personally, and maybe your answer will be delayed."

"What's going on?" The man nodded, motioning for the guards to lead the way.

"I don't have the authority to know the specifics, the command told you to take a look at the cultivation room on the ground floor." The guard explained, reaching behind his hands.

"I see, I'll go to the monitoring room first."

The man waved.

In the twelve years since the establishment of this base, there has not been anything that needs to be solved by him in person other than experiments. Although there have been horrific incidents of private armed forces breaking into the laboratory, they have all been resolved by the strangers in charge of research security in the laboratory. However, there is another point, if it is about the items in the cultivation room on the ground floor, then the entire base is only accessible to him and his wife.

"Also, your daughter's letter to you, Doctor."

"Scarlet leaves?"

The guard took out a crumpled letter from the mezzanine of the tactical vest and handed it to the man, who paused for a moment, then remembered the time when the carriage that sent the heart was attacked a few days ago, and couldn't help but worry about his daughter's condition. When he took the letter and saw the signature, he frowned. The signature there was not this Scarlet Leaf, but his other daughter.

"This heart leaf".

His other daughter probably didn't know about his work here, and if it was really sent by Kokoba, he would have to go and greet the Ministry of Intelligence. Fortunately, the envelope was signed in standard writing - it wasn't the handwriting of the heart leaf, and he didn't think much about opening the envelope and taking out the letterhead. The pink letter paper confirmed that this must not be a letter from his eldest daughter, who had always been very boyish, would never use this kind of stationery.

"To my father

There have been some emergencies. Received gossip from a mercenary that an organization was planning an attack against you. As early as after October 7, 20XX. It was an organized, premeditated attack, and trusted people have been contacted for security to ensure their own safety.

Your daughter's scarlet leaf."

Sure enough, it was a letter that needed to be written in my sister's name. So that it will not be suspected, though, the attack? The man frowned, and he began to worry about the anomaly that had appeared in the base. Also, she attached a photo. At that time, he smiled softly and stroked the photo of his two daughters, but he soon understood that his little daughter would not do such a thing, and soon, another figure in the photo aroused his idea. The black-haired little girl with her back to the dead faces of the two sisters and her head buried in something I don't know, there are two strange things on both sides of the little girl's head, which are preliminarily identified as tentacles.

He quickened his steps to the monitoring room, and immediately asked to see the information about the culture room on the ground floor of the research room. Although there was surveillance, it was impossible to view it without permission, so he kicked the people out of the monitoring room, then turned off the regular monitoring and turned on the monitor in the culture room. When the monitor was turned on, he was immediately startled.

A large face dominated the monitor's screen, and he smiled wryly before continuing to watch the monitor.

"Hey, don't just watch, come here and talk."

That face naturally belonged to the third person sent to him by Scarlet Leaf in that photo.
