"Ryosuke Sanada? That's a nice boy, the only problem is that he's a little withdrawn, I remember always staying with Horii and Sayaka, who were known as the 'Iron Triangle of Scholars'. ”

Horii left TPC's headquarters to find Ryosuke Sanada, but Casto, who helped him call up Sanada's IP address, also contacted the mentor that Horii and Ryosuke Sanada shared, and heard more stories about Sanada and Horii when they were studying.

When they were in college, Masami Horii, Ryosuke Sanada, and their mutual friend Sayaka Ijiin were once known as the "Iron Triangle of Scholars" throughout the school, and the three of them not only showed excellent academic qualities and good potential to devote themselves to scientific research and space development in their student careers, but also had a deep friendship with each other, which can be said to be the best of the best.

But although these three sworn friends have an extraordinary friendship, they have different personalities-

Ryosuke is born in a family of genius scholars, coupled with the guidance of his original family environment, although his external image is graceful and his academic ability is quite good, but his personality seems to have been trapped in the distorted competitiveness accumulated over the years and the deformed concept of life that has been born from it, so he is the most withdrawn and unlikable of the three in the eyes of the outside world.

Even in the face of a mentor who is already well-known in the scientific community, he never has any emotions like his predecessors.

Horii is a very different man from him, a relatively straightforward and swaggering Kansai fat man, who has a lot of informality in the details of interpersonal interactions, but is actually enough to be called an all-rounder with the wisdom and inspiration of a genius inventor and the personality attributes of a team pistachio.

Whenever something really went wrong with the experiment, Horii would smile and come to the other people's side and say something strange to liven up the atmosphere again.

At the same time, although overall speaking, although he is not dominant in appearance, and his family is average, Horii's performance in social life is significantly better than that of Ryosuke, who has a strong eccentric personality.

Even from the mouth of their mentor, Casto was surprised to find that Horii was not far behind Ryosuke Sanada in the field of scientific research and academia, and even among the students of that class and even the ten years before and after, the two of them were the only genius scientists who could be compared with each other.

Although it is said that throughout his university years, Sanada Ryosuke has always been able to maintain a leading position in his studies and scientific research, but Horii has bitten his head and has never looked like he wants to be distanced.

At that time, there was a description of the two of them circulating in the university, with a handsome genius scientist leading the way, and another humorous fat man chasing behind.

"Fatty, when are you going back to work, the captain of the victory team is Megumi Juma, right, I remember that she was a scary woman."

In the cabin, Sanada Ryosuke looked at Horii, who was lying in his house and unwilling to leave, and finally angrily issued an eviction order.

"Hey, I've found a new backer, TPC's wonder boy, you know? It's Casto, the legendary director's illegitimate son, and I talk to him every day, he's really interesting. ”

Horii didn't notice that when he mentioned Casto's name, Ryosuke Sanada's pupils dilated for a moment.

It seems that it is because of this name that Horii continues to live in Ryosuke Sanada's temporary home.

The past few days have made Horii feel very happy, his college friends have reunited, and they all have a good social status, such things are enough to make Horii chat happily for a few days and nights, but soon, Horii noticed a trace of Sanada Ryosuke's strangeness.

Every day before dawn, the other party will go out for a run, and when he wakes up, Sanada Ryosuke has already entered the working state, facing the constant tapping of the computer, such a knocking sound can continue until midnight, and even he has fallen asleep, Sanada Ryosuke is still continuing his work.

Although Horii is also very fond of science, when he conducts his own research, he can feel the joy that comes from the depths of his heart, whether it goes well or not, Horii has never fallen into a crazy situation like Ryosuke Sanada.

If a person can't get pleasure from science, then how can he devote himself to doing science well?

But after several days of living together, Horii finally began to sit still, and he even suspected that one night, Ryosuke Sanada worked all night, and then continued to sweat the next day and sat back in front of the computer.

Horii was a big man, but he knew better than anyone what kind of person his friend was, and he knew that he would never be able to convince this arrogant guy just by what he said.

Finally, after staying for a week, Horii sat down next to Ryosuke Sanada and carefully studied what the other party had studied.

What was recorded on the computer was a very complex, very magical cell mechanism, and Horii had never seen such a cell, that strange structure, and the nature marked on the side, which made him feel a little unfamiliar.

"It's called the Ablon cell, and it's a very dense thing."

"Abron... Cell? Horii frowned, "I don't feel like it's something on Earth." ”

"Yes, this is research that has been discontinued."

As if realizing that this was a project that Ryosuke Sanada once led, Horii asked a little nervously, "Do you want to continue to insist on the projects that have been stopped?" ”

"I thought you'd notice it sooner."

Ryosuke Sanada closed the computer, then turned his head to look at Horii, "It's something that can make humans evolve, but his controllability is too low, so he will be stopped from experimenting ......"

"The problem is that you and I both know that this kind of thing can never really stop, even without me, without TPC, as long as there are still any people, research on this thing will continue......"

On the chair, Ryosuke Sanada, who was facing Horii, seemed to be saying to the other party, and as if to himself, "Either I will finish this research before I can and become a pioneer in human history, or I will wait for this project to be secretly started by others in the future, and then uncontrollable secrets will unfold ....."

"I'm Ryosuke Sanada, and I will never allow the project led by me to end up in the hands of other people and become a terrifying thing with no bottom line."

"Yes, I did something against the rules, and I brought out the experimental materials, so I came to the mountains."

"No, you can...."Horii opened his mouth, he wanted to persuade the other party, but he couldn't say the words when they came to his lips.

"Unless you destroy it, this thing will be studied back and forth, and you know, this kind of thing will never be destroyed."

"If anyone can succeed, then that person can only be me."

There is one thing that Ryosuke Sanada didn't say, that is, if only one person can fail, it can only be me Ryosuke Sanada.

Horii still felt that the other party didn't seem to say anything to himself, but just like that, he could already feel the strong pride of the other party.

"You go, take this USB stick to Casto, tell him it's the latest data, and he'll understand what I'm talking about."
