A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 797 Technical Exchange with Misaki Ryoko

The experiments conducted by Ryoko Misaki are closely related to research on "artificial internal organs," and she herself is a direct participant in the experiments.

Therefore, Ryoko Misaki maintained a close relationship with the hospital.

Although she wasn't working directly with the doctor who was chasing souls in the underworld, she still managed to find the hospital and the whereabouts of the "legendary Kiyama Haruo" through her connections in the medical field.

Indeed, because he once spearheaded the "Ghostbusters" incident, Harumi Kiyama has become a "legendary" figure in the industry.

Because of this prior record, Kiyama Harumi's personal information was classified as Class A or higher, making it difficult for ordinary people to access.

"So," Kiyama Harumi greeted the girl who had come to visit late at night in his office, "is there something you need from Ryoko Misaki?"

Incidentally, Kiyama Harumi has already obtained the initial sample of the "ability crystal" and has Haruka Emi's full assistance, so she can conduct experiments at any time to completely save her students.

However, precisely because victory was within reach, she became even more cautious.

To ensure everything goes smoothly, and also to avoid a repeat of the "disorderly opening" phenomenon—which was also requested by Lin Wuming and the guards—Mushan Chunsheng and Mingtu Zhuihun are readjusting the experimental and treatment plans.

In this situation, Kiyama Harumi was actually unwilling to be distracted by other matters.

If it were anyone else, Kiyama Harumi probably wouldn't even bother to meet them.

But Ryoko Misaki is a junior high school student, the same age as her students.

“I’ve heard of you,” Kiyama Harumi said, looking at the somewhat unusual girl in front of her, her memories being activated. “That genius girl, and she did indeed conduct some rather daring and reckless experiments.”

Looking closely at the uneven patches of skin on the girl's face, Kiyama Harumi said with a self-deprecating tone, "But I have no right to judge others... Alright, tell me your purpose, and I will help you within my power."

After a moment's hesitation, Ryoko Misaki finally spoke: "I'm designing a system that uses the human brain and the AIM diffusion field to build a special network to replace supercomputers..."

"..." Kiyama Harumi stopped what he was doing and quietly looked at the girl in front of him.

“During the data collection process, I found…” Ryoko Misaki was a little nervous, but she still forced herself to continue, “Mr. Harumi Kiyama also created a similar system, so…”

"You want to borrow the 'Fantasy Master' system?" Kiyama Harumi asked.

“No,” Ryoko Misaki shook her head, “I just have some questions I want to ask you and confirm… You can think of it as a technical exchange, teacher.”

Regardless of age, judging solely from her academic achievements, Ryoko Misaki is indeed qualified to engage in technical exchanges.

Seeing that the other party didn't want to directly borrow the "Fantasy Master" system, Kiyama Harumi breathed a slight sigh of relief and lowered his guard.

—I do have a backup of "Fantasy Master", but this must not be revealed.

In other words, Kiyama Harumi can regain his "multi-talent ability" whenever he wants!
Of course, it's much weaker than her "multi-talented" abilities at their peak last year, but at least it gives her the ability to protect herself.

This is a trump card that Kiyama Harumi has kept for himself, and a secret that must be hidden.

It's important to understand that while Kiyama Harumi has gained a degree of "freedom," he is essentially on probation or bail. He could be arrested and imprisoned at any time if he's caught doing anything wrong.

With the students about to fully recover and the wonderful life he had always dreamed of just around the corner, at this crucial moment, Kiyama Harumi did not want any unforeseen complications.

In fact, if it weren't for respect for the genius girl in front of him, Kiyama Harumi would have already ordered them to leave.

"Please rest assured, I have no intention of coveting 'Imagine Master' or 'Multi-Talented Ability'." Ryoko Misaki is intelligent and did her homework before visiting, so she knows Kiyama Harumi's situation and what he is afraid of. "I also have no ambition to do bad things. I just want to calculate the answer to a difficult problem."

Furthermore, due to the unique nature of that "problem," Ryoko Misaki didn't want too many people to know the details, so she didn't want to apply for the "tree diagram designer" designation...

Of course, in reality, it is very difficult for her and her research institution to obtain the right to use the title of "tree diagram designer".

It's important to understand that while the "Tree Diagram Designer" is incredibly powerful, it can't handle the sheer number of projects that Academy City needs to process, and everyone wants to use this supercomputer.

Therefore, research institutions with little background or less important research projects can only patiently wait in line—and it is highly unlikely that they will even get a turn.

The reason why Kiyama Harumi repeatedly applied for the right to use the "tree diagram designer" title was ultimately because she had been Kihara Gensei's assistant and subconsciously overlooked the difficulty of applying for the "tree diagram designer" title, thinking it was a very simple matter.

If it were Ryoko Misaki today, she would have been self-aware enough from the start not to have any expectations and instead sought a different path.

“And another thing,” Ryoko Misaki continued, “is that the problem I want to solve is rather niche. I’ve looked into related materials, but there doesn’t seem to be any research record in this field. Therefore, even if I obtain the right to use the ‘Tree Diagram Designer’ app, I won’t know where to start.”

In other words, what Ryoko Misaki wants to calculate is not the answer to a specific question, but the question itself, which is also part of the calculation.

"So, what exactly are you trying to calculate?" Kiyama Harumi couldn't help but ask.

She pursed her lips and said, "The method to completely destroy the soul."

Kiyama Haruo was speechless for a moment. When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but organize his thoughts in his mind—if he didn't know the academic and scientific research achievements of the girl in front of him, he would definitely think she was talking nonsense.

Whether the "soul" truly exists is itself a subject of debate.

Now, suddenly someone comes out and says they want to destroy souls, it's really...

Furthermore, even if we take a step back and assume that "souls" really exist, Ryoko Misaki's approach of "eliminating souls" cannot be considered "harmless" in any way.

You could even say that directly destroying the soul is the fastest way to kill someone.

"Please rest assured, Kiyama-sensei," Ryoko Misaki said. "I won't use it to hurt others—in a sense, what I want to eliminate... is myself."

"What exactly is going on?" Kiyama Harumi frowned, leaned forward, and looked at the girl in front of him with increasing concern.

“Actually,” Ryoko Misaki was prepared to tell him everything when she decided to come to find Harumi Kiyama, “I have a ‘clone’…”
