Science Fiction: Starting from Obtaining Sophon

Wow, is this going to be a tale of revenge? The Count of Monte Cristo? Or the Return of the King?

Before you get back on your feet, let's suppress you again and make things easier for you later.

This is the terrifying logic of this world: many people, after harming others, not only feel no remorse, but will persecute you even more viciously.

Because he knew just how despicable and shameless his actions were.

Therefore, they will be more wary of those who are persecuted and will definitely use more vicious means to frame them, while they will turn a blind eye to you if you keep falling into the dust.

They might even tell themselves, "Look how kind and benevolent I am! I didn't kill them all because of our past relationship."

In other words, as long as Genda River grows and rises, it will face their suppression. Rather than that, it's better to strike first!

So this matter can't be delayed; those old-timers are all shrewd and calculating.

They might not suspect them, but they will still strengthen their security, making it much more difficult to deal with them.

Although I'm not afraid, there's no need to.

If easy dungeons are available, why would anyone want to grind Hell difficulty?

Moreover, his target this time was difficult enough, because it was a stronghold of the Black Organization!

He wanted to use the corpses of all the black-clad members in this stronghold to declare war on this organization, and also to bring this organization into the public eye.

The best way to deal with darkness is to expose it to the sunlight.

Sunlight is a disinfectant that purifies everything!

The vast darkness of night, like a curtain, covered the entire earth.

Today is undoubtedly a beautiful sunny day, with a crescent moon hanging in the sky and a few faint stars casting a soft glow around it.

To the southwest of a river lies a secluded forest where lights faintly illuminate the tranquil place, adding to its mystique.

Upon closer inspection, however, one discovers that this is a cluster of buildings hidden deep in the mountains and forests. Moreover, its exterior is not particularly eye-catching; it appears to be just a small group of leisure villas, a place for wealthy and leisurely ladies to vacation and relax, with nothing particularly special about it.

However, upon closer inspection, one discovers that the seemingly ordinary villa complex actually conceals a hidden secret. The entire complex is exceptionally well-defended, and there are numerous sensors and thermal imaging devices hidden in some secluded areas on the perimeter.

Anyone who tries to get close will definitely be discovered.

However, no one here included Genda River. He stood atop the canopy of a tall tree, quietly gazing at the building before him. Disguised as Sesshomaru, he resembled a true demon king, his eyes gleaming with a faint golden light.

Chapter Fifty-Five: Eleven Sword Techniques

"This is it!"

Genda River stared coldly at everything before him, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

This battle is definitely not simple, because no matter what, this is the Black Organization's stronghold.

Throughout the more than 1,000 episodes of Detective Conan, there has never been a precedent of the police breaking into an organization's base.

Most of the time, the danger posed by the Black Organization is nipped in the bud, with them being moved away in advance and all traces of their existence destroyed.

This is the fate of the research institute where Ai Haibara, also known as Shiho Miyano, worked!

However, this battle is one that Gendagawa must face. This decision was made before killing Itakura Hide, because only in this way can his disguise be established.

Moreover, it can also draw the attention of the police and those watching from the shadows to this location.

Provoking a direct war between the police and the Black Organization would be incredibly interesting, and even the Black Organization would likely have a major headache.

That's just how some things are; for them to erupt, they always need some pushers or some sensitive events.

Otherwise, due to mutual concerns, one side might secretly send out spies while the other secretly eliminates them, ultimately resulting in the spies being the only ones who get hurt.

In that case, what's the point of lying down?

It would be more practical to just pull out a gun and fight!

Genda River wasn't the kind of person who would dawdle. Although he didn't like being too flamboyant, he absolutely didn't believe in the idea that a gentleman's revenge was never too late. What he believed was that a gentleman's revenge was taken from morning till night, and if it could be done overnight, then it absolutely wouldn't be done overnight!

That being said, the more fundamental reason is that this base holds a large amount of money stored by the organization, in the form of gold and jewelry.

Although he doesn't care much about money, he would never hesitate to acquire a large amount of money, especially money from the Black Organization.

This was the information he obtained from Itakura Hide; he had a deep connection with the Black Organization.

This is actually normal. In the first book of the original work, there is a similar plot where Vodka uses evidence of crimes committed by some large companies to coerce the company's executives into paying money to buy out this information.

In reality, there's never a buyout when it comes to blackmail. Once you agree to it once, the rest is endless extortion until the company completely collapses.

However, the Black Organization generally wouldn't do that; draining the pond to catch all the fish is never a good thing, and a steady, long-term approach is the best way.

More importantly, by exploiting their weaknesses, these people can be recruited and used to form a vast network of intertwined interests.

That's Hideaki Itakura.

From being coerced at the beginning to witnessing the power of the Black Organization, he began to actively participate in the organization's affairs.

They even established a very close relationship with the organization, and the two sides had many 'pleasant' collaborations.

Therefore, it's understandable that Itakura Hide knew about the Black Organization's stronghold.

However, after Itakura Hide's death, this base is likely to be abandoned, so if we don't hurry up and destroy this stronghold, we may not have another chance.

After all, given the nature of these guys, they would never let the slightest possibility of exposure slip by. It's quite unusual for such a large organization to be so cautious.

Besides the fact that this information was time-sensitive and would become invalid once missed, there was another reason, which was the final reason that prompted him to make up his mind.

That means today, he will be able to learn all the sword techniques of Water Breathing!

The Breathing of Water technique has eleven sword forms. After Tomoko's deduction ability greatly improved, she deduced three sword forms on her first attempt, and then three sword forms on her second attempt as well. However, on her third attempt, she only deduced two sword forms, and on her fourth attempt, she also deduced two sword forms.

Today's deduction is the fifth time, and he will be able to deduce the final move, the eleventh move, the sword form. In this way, the entire Breathing of Water technique will be completely perfected.

However, he also discovered a problem: the deduction of sword techniques indeed became slower and slower as the game progressed.

If Zhizi still had the same computing power as before, she wouldn't be able to deduce eleven sword techniques even after eleven attempts. It would probably take more than twenty attempts to deduce all the sword techniques, especially the last one, which would probably require more than three attempts.

As Tomoko explained, she had a premonition during her previous deductions that even if this eleventh sword form wasn't the final sword form of Water Breathing, it wouldn't be possible to deduce any additional sword forms.

In other words, even with sword skills at the level of the eleventh sword form, Zhizi's current computing power can only deduce one form in a single simulation.

However, this is even better; the greater the difficulty in deducing, the greater the power of the sword shape.

After tonight, he will be a swordsman who has mastered all the sword forms of Water Breathing and whose breathing technique has reached the level of Concentration.

Even though his physical fitness is still a weakness due to limited training time, there are other factors such as practical experience and mental fortitude.

After mastering all the sword techniques, his strength is roughly equivalent to 0.3 of the Water Pillar Giyu Tomioka. If Tomoko uses electric current to stimulate his body, it's not impossible for him to reach 0.6 of the Water Pillar Giyu Tomioka. In fact, if he stimulates his body with all his might without regard to the cost, he will be even stronger!

Of course, the pillars here are those whose patterns haven't been activated yet; pillars with activated patterns are on a different level.

The Japanese soldiers in the stronghold—no, the members of the organization—are completely unaware that a mortal enemy is currently in the depths of the nearby jungle, improving his strength, and their countdown to death has begun!

..... ........ .......

[Deduction complete!]

Tomoko slowly opened her eyes and began to conjure up the phantom of the Water Breathing technique in her mental space, starting to practice it.

【Nagi, the Eleventh Form of Water Breathing!】

The entire eleventh sword form has only one character in its name: Nagi!

Each sword form in the breathing technique is the result of countless genius swordsmen's painstaking efforts, and this eleventh sword form is the masterpiece of the Water Pillar, Giyu Tomioka, who has also practiced the Water Breathing technique to a new level!

In the original work, this technique is explained as 'entering a state of tranquil stillness, and at the same time, nullifying all techniques that enter the attack range of one's own blade'!

It's a simple description, but it's actually a move of profound skill level!

Only by mastering this technique can one truly grasp the power of Water Breathing, achieving a state of complete tranquility, like an impenetrable flow of water, neutralizing all attacks within the blade's range!

One can imagine that if the power of this move were fully unleashed, and its integrated offensive and defensive characteristics were fully released, it would absolutely make one invincible!

As is customary, he began to study and observe this sword technique in the mental world created by Zhizi, and only after he was confident in his abilities did he begin to practice it in reality.

There's still plenty of time. Those monitoring him near his home have no idea that this high school student, who has been under surveillance, has actually left his residence and come here.

Chapter Fifty-Six: The Invasion of Perfected Sword Techniques Begins!

The girl, who was the incarnation of Tomoko, gazed at Genda River's figure, sitting on a golden full moon. Her two fair feet swayed gently, hooking the hem of her flame-red dress, which danced in the spiritual void like real flames.

Her eyes were slightly narrowed; she was like an elf born from this spiritual void, existing in dependence on this void.

Thinking about some things from the past, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if two crescent moons had appeared in them.

"Those guys monitoring the cameras have no idea that what they're seeing on the surveillance cameras is all fake."

To think that someone as dignified as Tomoko would do something like this is quite amusing.

However, after absorbing the human spirit, I have indeed become more and more like a human.

They have their own unique joys and sorrows, and they think in a human way.

This was completely unimaginable before. In the past, no matter how advanced she was, she would never have had these things. These things, which she considered low-level, were actually closer to the essence of life.

Sometimes, life needs these things. Otherwise, even if there are endless lives, what difference is there between them and a stone if they lose their emotions, their joys and sorrows?

"This final sword form of Water Breathing is considered the pinnacle among all Water Breathing sword forms. Only after mastering all the preceding sword techniques to a considerable degree can one begin to comprehend and learn it. Ultimately, his learning time was too short."

His eyes grew more serious: "If he can't control it successfully, then we'll have to stick to our previous agreement and make him abandon this operation."
