Truth is everywhere within range

morning.

Qiao Qiao arrived at the door of Utopia Software Company located in a software park in Nakano District.

"According to the address, this is indeed the right place."

Qiao Qiao looked at the note on his phone. It recorded the name and location of the game company that Nishino Hiroshi told him in cooperation with the Neuroscience Research Laboratory of Showa University.

"Utopia? I always have a bad feeling about it."

Qiao Qiao only carried a backpack, which contained some ordinary spiritual tools.

Beside him, there was a woman.

She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a childlike face and long dark green hair hanging around her waist. She was wearing a pure white dress that exposed her smooth knees and slender calves. She was wearing a pair of strappy sandals. , revealing the white feet, giving people an innocent feeling.

Qiao Qiao glanced at the people around him, and this time he could clearly remember the girl's appearance in his mind.

"Just call me Wang, Nona. It's a very cute name, right?"

She giggled.

This girl is the wish of the old god.

It is estimated that in order to follow Qiao Qiao to investigate, he slightly reduced his antimemetic properties so that he could be recognized by ordinary humans and remembered by Qiao Qiao.

Of course, this is just a body and can be replaced as needed.

It doesn’t matter whether he transforms into a black coffin bearer in a suit, a young girl in a cheongsam with a fan covering her face, or a dark-skinned, polite gentleman.

The reason why she appears in the form of a girl is probably just the evil wish of the old god.

In this state, Qiao Qiao also addressed the other party as her.

"I thought you would name yourself Saya."

Qiao Qiao couldn't help but complain.

Shouldn't this kind of old god be given a name with a dark and indescribable style?

Wang, a name that sounded like an idol at first sight, really didn't match the girl in front of her.

"You really don't understand amorous feelings."

Old God. Wishes, the girl named Wang rolled her eyes at Qiao Qiao.

"Well, let me tell you in advance, I really don't have any extra room in my house."

Qiao Qiao suddenly thought of something and said.

"?"

He tilted his head, seeming to realize something, and smiled evilly.

"How about the gift I prepared for you last night?"

"I don't need a gift like that."

Of course Qiao Qiao didn't do anything strange to Sayoko later, but went to the living room sofa to sleep.

The night was uneventful. Except for Xiao Yezi who found herself in Qiao Qiao's room this morning, her face turned red and she didn't dare to talk to Qiao Qiao, it didn't cause any disturbance.

"You should be able to roughly sense various special things. Remember to remind me if there are any meme manipulations."

Qiao Qiao did not maintain the Einstein reality enhancement anchor at all times. After all, in the real world, this thing consumes a lot of money. If he encounters any trouble, Qiao Qiao still has to save his spiritual power to open the Hell Border Armor.

"No problem, hehe."

Wang replied with a smile.

I don't know what she is happy about.

The two walked into the first floor of the six-story office building and looked at the sign outside the door. The entire building belonged to Utopia Software Company.

The front desk was an ordinary woman. When she saw the two of them, she was a little confused, but Qiao Qiao quickly handed over her ID.

".So you were introduced to me by Showa University? Please wait a moment."

She made a call, and while waiting, Qiao Qiao glanced here.

There was no accumulation of Yin Qi. After his discussion with Wang, Qiao Qiao roughly understood that the mechanical weirdness itself did not rely much on Yin Qi to move, so the place they were in could not be distinguished simply by judging from Yin Qi.

And the person at the front desk looks like an ordinary human being.

After a while, a man in a suit came to the front desk.

He introduced himself as Daiki Hiramaru and was the project director of Utopia Software Company. He had previously contacted Nishino Hiroshi and had also visited the simulated brain research laboratory.

After exchanging pleasantries, he took the two of them to the development department on the third floor.

"We're doing some basic development here and there's nothing worth investigating."

He said to the two of them, his eyes lingering on their faces for a moment.

The development department is not filled with computers and programmers like what Qiao Qiao saw at Gray Hat Software before. On the contrary, it is more like a leisure living area, with a lounge where you can lie down and sleep, and There are game consoles, various vending machines, etc., but there are not many computers. There is only a huge black device in the middle of the third floor.

The equipment was like a huge wardrobe, with sharp edges and corners, located on the ground, with countless intricate lines connected to other black columns on the side.

Red and green lights flashed on the device, and the sound of cooling fans echoed in the space.

But there is no programmer.

The computers are all on, with the work interface on them.

"Where are the people from your company?"

Qiao Qiao asked strangely.

"Because it's the daily meeting time, everyone is in the conference room."

Taiki Hiramaru explained.

"You guys wait here, I'll get the information you want."

He asked the two of them to wait in the tea room, and then left to get the documents.

Qiao Qiao and Wang sat and waited for a while.

But it's certainly not possible for two people to just sit idle.

"I gonna go see."

Wang stepped forward and came to the computer.

She didn't move the mouse or keyboard, and the computer automatically started to pop up more pages. Wang didn't even look at the screen, and all the information flowed into her brain.

"It looks like a really ordinary game development project."

Wang said.

Qiao Qiao wasn't sure what her definition of an ordinary game development project was, but she came to a computer and stretched out her hand.

Psychic -

"Um?"

Is this game company really just a game company?

When Qiao Qiao channeled the spirit, he found nothing unusual.

However, just as he retracted his palm, Qiao Qiao felt changes around him.

Computers, servers, and hosts all disappeared. In the dark and gloomy world, only Hope was still by Qiao Qiao's side.

"Did you do it?"

Qiao Qiao asked doubtfully.

"I didn't move anything, it wasn't me!"

Wang immediately denied it.

The surrounding darkness suddenly lit up, and after the colorful light, Qiao Qiao saw the ground again.

"?"

However, the ground is not an indoor floor, but an uneven ground made of bricks and stones. Beside the road is a wasteland overgrown with weeds.

In front of the extension of the road, there is a small town with a western feel. The tall bell tower is very conspicuous under the bloody full moon.

"Illusion?"

Qiao Qiao felt very strange, so he stopped talking. How could an old god like Wang be trapped in an illusion?

"This is not an illusion, well, it seems to be some degree of memetic manipulation."

Wangya looked around with some doubts.

At this moment, a howl sounded, accompanied by the dull sound of bells.

From the small town, several figures appeared.

"Werewolf?"

Qiao Qiao tilted his head, not quite understanding.
