"… Ah, by the way, Ormet, the child you asked me about before …"

V Naomasa flipped through the documents and took out a copy.

"… Because you asked about it last time, I paid special attention to it."

V Naomasa's eyes were clear as he handed the document to Ormet. "This time, I brought this along. That child was adopted by a very good family."

"That's great, let me see." Ormet took the document. "The guardian is Matsumoto Kiku, a researcher at the Paranormal Research Center …"

Ormet frowned and asked, "Another researcher?

I remember, wasn't he just rescued from a research institute that was conducting illegal experiments? "

"You're overthinking it, Ormet. Although this might be part of the reason, the Paranormal Research Center is one of the top high-end research institutes in the country. It's different from those research institutes that conduct illegal human experiments.

"And Matsumoto Kiku has been awarded several world-class awards because of his outstanding contributions in the field of brain research at a young age. He's very famous in the country and abroad. He's a top expert. Even people like me have heard of him."

V Naomasa pointed at himself and said seriously.

"Hahahaha, in that case, I'm relieved." Ormet rubbed the back of his head with one hand and laughed heartily. He placed the document on the table and said, "Speaking of which, I was really shocked at that time. I didn't expect the child to use his personality to run away. It's the first time I've encountered such a situation."

"But …" Ormet paused and said emotionally, "Since he met a good person and was adopted, he won the future with his own strength."

"That's true."

V Naomasa nodded in agreement.

A gust of wind blew, and the document on the wooden table floated slightly. On the snow-white paper, the white-haired, red-eyed child's expression was indifferent.

。

"Hey, Passage Of One Party -kun, are you ready?"

Matsumoto Kiku, who was highly praised by Officer Zhengzhi, placed her hands on the edge of the coffin-like rectangular container. Her orange-red curly hair, which was always loose, was now tied up high. Her face was flushed, and her eyes were fanatical. She stared at the Passage Of One Party with a pious gaze, which made people shudder, thinking of fanatics who drank the blood of virgins.

Although it was a question, Matsumoto Kiku didn't wait for an answer. He couldn't wait to pull down the electrode switch.

"Left frontal lobe stimulation intensity increased by 0.2 times."

"The activation frequency of the right occipital lobe has decreased to 87% of the original frequency."

…

Passage Of One Party, who was lying quietly in the container, closed his eyes and concentrated on feeling the stimulation to his brain. His lips, which had become pale because of the pain, constantly opened and closed, spitting out a series of instructions, trying to minimize the risks of the experiment and maximize the benefits.

"Debugging complete. Experiment begins."

After using all his strength to say the last instruction, Passage Of One Party was lying in the hard transparent container, panting slightly.

No wonder all the people who participated in the experiment before died. With their bold and unrestrained behavior, it would be surprising if they didn't become idiots.

No matter how high-end the technology is, the accurate data piled up with human lives in Academy City is still better.

Passage Of One Party recalled the hellish scene of the Special Strength Research Center. Under the control of his extremely sensitive nerves, he sighed.

The other half of the rectangular container slowly lowered and sealed Passage Of One Party in a transparent glass container. The green nutrient solution was then injected.

It didn't go past the mouth and nose.

Her soft white hair fluttered lightly in the wind.

The child's small body maintained a relaxed posture under the effect of buoyancy.

After a familiar moment of suffocation, the trembling eyelashes calmed down, and the rapid breathing became smooth. Passage Of One Party lost consciousness under the effect of the liquid and fell asleep.

"… Great!

That's great!

Passage Of One Party -kun, hahaha!

Your brain development has reached an unprecedented 30%! "

It felt like only a thousandth of a second had passed, but it also felt like an entire century had passed. Passage Of One Party was awakened by Matsumoto Kiku's extremely joyful praise.

With one hand holding the glass container that had become sticky due to the residual nutrient solution, and the other hand supporting his dizzy head, Passage Of One Party sat up shakily.

"Hey, Passage Of One Party -kun," Matsumoto Kiku's eyes were constantly scanning the physical condition report of Passage Of One Party on the computer screen. He didn't divert his attention to himself and said, "Do you know, among the 1,056 experimental subjects who participated in the research project, you are the youngest? In other words, your brain development is the most immature."

"Oh?"

Passage Of One Party picked up the clothes on his body that had become dry after being soaked in the nutrient solution. He just wanted to quickly take a shower and change out of the salted vegetables he was wearing.

"In the case of an extreme disadvantage in brain size and cerebral cortex area, the failure risk of your experiment is as high as 99.99%. It can be said that it is a certain death situation."

"My initial expectation for this experiment was just to make up for the lack of brain activity research data at your age.

Hey, Passage Of One Party -kun, you know! "His tone gradually rose.

"But!

Passage Of One Party -kun, the debugging you did before the experiment reduced this probability to 0.01%! "

Matsumoto Kiku suddenly turned her head and stared at Passage Of One Party. Her beautiful and charming phoenix eyes widened fiercely, and she didn't hide the surging malice in them. Her tone was twisted, "Can you tell me who told you the debugging data?"

"Ah, that, no, those people," Passage Of One Party moved his neck and shoulders, and his joints made a crisp cracking sound. He thought of the TLI Research Center that was completely suppressed and eliminated, and the corners of his mouth curled up with joy. "They have been sent to hell for a trip."

"Phew, that's great."

Matsumoto Kiku breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly relaxed. She patted her chest with her hand in an exaggerated manner and said, "Otherwise, I would have to personally send them to hell. After all," she paused and said, "I can only be the top expert!"

"Egomaniac," Lu Zhou sneered.

As if she didn't hear Passage Of One Party's sarcasm, Matsumoto Kiku calmed down and said gently, "Passage Of One Party -kun, go and change your clothes. How about we do a test?"

She didn't intend to give him a chance to refuse. As soon as she finished speaking, Matsumoto Kiku waved her hand.

One of the researchers wearing the same antibacterial suit quickly stepped forward and took him to clean up. Passage Of One Party glanced back at Matsumoto Kiku.

Her orange-red eyes that were the same color as her hair flashed with the madness and ambition that he couldn't be more familiar with.

He turned his head and looked straight ahead. [What? Isn't this no different from Kihara Satoshi?

It's just as disgusting.

It's just as disgusting.]

He was relieved. Sure enough, it was more reassuring to be with his own kind.

After changing his clothes, he was taken back to the office where he first met Matsumoto Kiku.

On the other hand, Matsumoto Kiku had also changed out of her tightly wrapped antibacterial suit. She looked more like a nightclub girl in a mature dress.

"Passage Of One Party -kun, please use your personality to kill the fugitive 'Speed,' codenamed No. 939. Be careful not to be discovered by those nosy heroes. Otherwise, I will be in a difficult position."

Matsumoto Kiku took out a signal receiver and handed it to him. The glaring red dot that represented 'prey' was moving quickly on it.

After Passage Of One Party took it, Matsumoto Kiku tapped her lips with her index finger and chuckled. "During this period, I will always, always watch you."

As she said this, Matsumoto Kiku's pupils quickly turned dark. It was so dark that no light could penetrate it.

Matsumoto Kiku's personality [Surveillance], as the name suggested, was to monitor a specific person's every move through the eyes. However, the disadvantage was that after monitoring someone with God's Vision, normal vision would be sacrificed. The perception of the outside world would be greatly reduced, and it could not be used on oneself. In short, it was very suitable for a stalker's personality.

Passage Of One Party looked at the signal receiver in his hand. The red dot on it was still flashing desperately.

"Really …" Passage Of One Party said in a low voice. "The way he works so hard makes me feel very pitiful."

Although he said it was pitiful, Passage Of One Party's neat actions did not show any pity for the criminal whose personality was enhanced speed.

How many steps did it take to put the elephant into the fridge?

Three steps.

He opened the fridge door, stuffed the elephant in, and closed the fridge door.

Similarly, it only took Passage Of One Party three steps to complete the test and get rid of 'Extreme Speed'.

Find 'Extreme Speed', get rid of 'Extreme Speed', and return to Ken Chōriki.

It took less than half an hour to complete the test. Passage Of One Party ignored Matsumoto Kiku, who crazily recorded his' personality 'strength in the battle, no, it could be said that it was a one-sided massacre. Instead, he went back to his room to read the latest issue of the fashion magazine that was regularly delivered.

It seemed that he had been soaking in the nutrient solution for a long time. It was almost time for the season to change. Although vector manipulation could control the direction of heat and maintain a comfortable constant temperature, he should still keep up with the trend.

With this thought in mind, Passage Of One Party completely ignored his current body that was only five years old. He had no qualms about picking the latest clothes on models with an average height of 190 centimeters.

However, unlike Passage Of One Party who was obsessed with fashion and forgot what he had just done, the 'test site' that left behind a strange-looking fugitive's body had been cordoned off by the police.

"There's no way to fight back …" The veteran criminal police officer who was the first to go forward to check said with a frown.

"There are no traces of fighting. 'Extreme Speed's' body is still in a running posture …"

"The expression on his face is also the same. Although it's very distorted, it doesn't look like fear. Instead, it's the kind of joy and complacency that comes from escaping."

"There are no wounds on his body. It's a sudden brain death …"

"What kind of performance could cause such a crime scene?!"

The young police officer who had just joined the criminal police force screamed in the face of the 'clean' crime scene without any clues.

"Achoo!"

Passage Of One Party, who was caught off guard, rubbed his nose and noticed the dust floating around the room.

Speaking of which, it had been a long time since he cleaned the room.
