"Ms. Shoko Toyokawa? This is my police ID. You are under arrest." The policeman in black said to her.

For the first time in her life, the well-mannered Miss Shoko Toyokawa experienced the feeling of being angry and humiliated.

'What... bastards! Where have those guys put the Toyokawa family's traditions?' she thought with a dark face.

"I won't say anything until I see a lawyer." Xiangzi replied calmly to the police officer.

On the top floor of a super tall and expensive building in Nagasaki, four young girls were watching the news together.

News report: Today, the New Tokyo Patrol Department cracked a major bank robbery. According to bank statistics, the bank lost more than 100 million US dollars in this robbery.

"F**k! How can we get that much!" The hot-tempered Shiina Riki loudly refuted the inexplicable large numbers in the news.

"Riki-chan, this kind of situation happens occasionally..." Nagasaki Suyo pinched her fingers. She was already accustomed to this kind of behavior of exaggerating losses.

Nagasaki Suyo keenly caught the word "cracked" appearing on TV.

"But, all my fellow crychic members are on my side..."

Xiaoxiang! Nagasaki Sushi quickly realized the problem.

Yes, if the people involved in the case are not arrested, the news will definitely not use the word "solved".

News reports continue: Police stated that the mastermind of the case, Shoko Toyokawa, has been apprehended, and reporters reported that the Toyokawa family refused to comment on the case.

Nagasaki Motoyo felt that she must have had an ugly expression on her face the moment she heard the news.

Later, to the surprise of the "crychic" girls, no Neo-Tokyo patrol officer apprehended or questioned them, and the incident seemed to have passed.

At the strong request of the "lead singer" Gao Songdeng, the four gang members except Xiangzi went to the prison where Xiangzi was imprisoned to visit her.

On the day I visited Xiangzi, the sky was gloomy and it rained heavily on the way there.

After seeing Xiangzi again, the other four members of "crychic" felt that Xiaoxiang seemed to be in good condition?

It turned out that Shoko Toyokawa was not even wearing prison uniform, but an exquisite outfit consisting of a shirt on the upper body and a skirt on the lower body.

It seems that the underworld family Toyokawa family has some business dealings with the warden here, which allows Xiangzi to enjoy some special treatment.

Gao Songdeng felt that Toyokawa Shoko didn't seem sad, but rather a little... lonely?

Through the transparent glass of the visiting room, Gao Songdeng found that he couldn't say a single word to Xiaoxiang of the many words he had thought of before coming here.

Gao Songdeng opened his mouth and tried to say something, but in the end it was Su Shi who spoke first.

"Xiaoxiang, thank you for accepting our visit, that..."

Nagasaki Suyo's heart was in a state of great confusion.

Su Shi never thought that a genius like Toyokawa Shoko would be thrown into jail.

She had never seen the lonely look on Xiaoxiang's face.

Toyokawa Shoko interrupted Nagasaki Suyo.

She said somewhat forcefully, "As you can see, I am the leader of Crychic, and I have been arrested as a criminal. Of course, my business contract with you is no longer valid."

Nagasaki Suyo believes that Toyokawa Shoko wanted to say: You need to distance yourself from me, please allow me to quit crychic.

From here on, their words began to fragment in Su Shi's ears.

"But you said that our previous cooperation was very pleasant and you looked forward to our further cooperation! It doesn't matter if it's not possible now, I'll wait until you return to the company..."

(The previous operations went smoothly. We will try to get you released on bail.)

"I didn't say that!" Toyokawa Shoko interrupted Su Shi hastily.

Xiangzi raised his voice and the other four people fell silent.

Then it was Takamatsu Deng who spoke up: "Really...are we going to end this cooperation?"

Following Deng's words, Shiina Riki stepped forward and demanded, "You're so irresponsible! You're blatantly breaching the contract!" (This is your team! We won't abandon our companions!)

Seeing that the two sides were about to turn into a dispute, Su Shi stepped forward to smooth things over: "Li Xi, stop talking."

"There's no need for that anymore. You can always find another company to work with, right?" (You can even do without me.)

Shoko Toyokawa turned her face away slightly and no longer looked directly at the four people who were looking at her.

She made up her mind.

Toyokawa Shoko said, "Deng, your work ability is what needs to be improved the most right now." (Deng, even without me, you can't slack off.)

This inexplicable form of riddles made Shiina Riki very uncomfortable.

Li Xi had no choice but to express his deepest emotion directly: "The lamp also cares about you!"

If there wasn't a layer of glass between them, Shiina Tateki would have been right on Toyokawa Shoko's face.

Su Shi saw that this visit was going to be tense and wanted to soften her companion by appealing to his emotions.

"All in all, everyone still feels that the previous cooperation was very pleasant."

Nagasaki Suyo turned her gaze to Wakaba Mutsu, who had been silent the whole time.

"You're right, Xiao Mu."

But Ruoye Mu did not agree with her words, and didn't even look at the other people who were traveling with him.

She lowered her head and looked outside the visiting room.

"I...never found business cooperation enjoyable." (I...never found gang activities enjoyable.)

"Eh?"

The visit ended in an unpleasant atmosphere. On the way out of the prison, Takamatsu Deng kept looking back.

"I feel like someone is watching us through the surveillance camera," said Gao Songdeng.

"Huh? Surveillance cameras are used for surveillance, right?" Shiina Riki was in a bad mood and spoke with some sarcasm.

It’s different. Those cameras… seem to be crying. Takamatsu Deng thought so.

Lost Children Gathering: Chapter 3: Toyokawa Shoko

"H...E...LL...O"

"W...O...R...L...D"

Young Shoko Toyokawa struggled to get the computer in front of her to output two simple lines of letters.

What is surprising is that the programming method she uses is not the popular assembly language or higher-level programming language on the market.

Instead, it was as if Xiangzi used some chaotic method to make the computer, which could only understand "0" and "1", understand her thoughts.

The most surprising thing is that there is no input device in front of Xiaoxiang at all, she doesn’t have a keyboard!

"Great! Xiaoxiang, you are really great!" A man in a white coat hugged Toyokawa Shoko.

The man in the white coat is Xiao Xiangzi's father, a man who works for the Toyokawa family and marries into their family.

Xiaoxiang's face felt a little painful from her father's stubble, but she was happy too because her father was happy.

Xiaoxiang's heart suddenly brightened up, and her eyebrows curved into crescents.

The father and daughter laughed foolishly for a while, and Xiaoxiang suddenly left her father's arms.

Her eyes widened, her hands gesturing in the air. "Father, how amazing am I? Am I really that amazing?"

Hearing Xiaoxiang's question, Mr. Fengchuan was also in a dilemma.

After thinking for a while, he replied, "Not yet. Right now, I'm just ordinary and amazing."

"Huh?" Xiaoxiang pouted angrily.

"I want to be super awesome!" she declared.

"But I think it's good enough that Xiaoxiang is just ordinary and amazing." Mr. Fengchuan frowned.

"No! I just want to be super awesome!" Xiaoxiang turned his head away angrily.

Mr. Fengchuan sighed and said to Xiaoxiang, "Then I'll tell you a secret."

"Hmm?" Xiaoxiang looked back at his father and nodded slightly.

"If Xiaoxiang wants to become truly remarkable, he must become a true nostalgist. Then, Xiaoxiang, your potential will truly unleash."

"What? I don't understand." Xiaoxiang tilted his head in confusion.

"You'll understand it later. No, it's better not to understand it later." Mr. Toyokawa planned to brush off the question in this way.

After asking several questions without getting an answer, Xiaoxiang, whose curiosity was not satisfied, ran out of the laboratory in angrily with his little leather boots on.

Mr. Fengchuan watched Xiaoxiang's back as she left, staring at her.

After Xiaoxiang left for a long time, he let out a long sigh and focused on his work again.

Xiaoxiang is a true genius. That’s what Mr. Fengchuan thinks.

The so-called "genius" in his mind actually does not completely conform to the general perception of ordinary people.

He was sure that Shoko Toyokawa could do things that ordinary people could not.

However, rather than saying that her "talent" is outstanding, it is more accurate to say that it is "unfair" to compare ordinary humans with Toyokawa Shoko.

After all, Xiaoxiang... is very different from Homo sapiens in terms of genetic expression.

Jokingly speaking, Toyokawa Shoko's mere existence is worthy of being divided into a new species within the human ethnic group.

The Toyokawa family believed that Mr. Toyokawa, who had married into the family, was an outstanding scientist. He was the only one who had thoroughly understood the information left over from that decade and had made one remarkable creation after another.

However, compared to those great creations, Mr. Toyokawa now thinks that the most amazing thing is his daughter - Toyokawa Shoko.

When Toyokawa Shoko was very young, she fell seriously ill and needed to be issued a critical illness notice.

To be precise, her brain was almost being half-cooked at that time - by the naturally generated bioelectricity in her body.

Mr. Fengchuan had to perform a craniotomy and implant many flexible electrodes on the outside of Xiaoxiang's brain.

As for the cause of the serious illness, it is very complicated, but it all comes down to the fact that New Tokyo is a rotten place.

The "dream" virus still permeates every breath of air in New Tokyo.

Although this virus has long been rendered harmless, the possibility of it causing harm to the human body is less than one in a million.

But sometimes, coincidences just don't make sense.

The people of New Tokyo are fundamentally different from people in other places - they become carriers of the "dream" virus from birth.

Shoko Toyokawa is a little different from other New Tokyo residents.

Her resistance to the now harmless "dream" virus is much weaker than others.

After that life-threatening illness, Shoko Toyokawa's genes were completely changed by the virus.

In fact, very few people in the Toyokawa family knew about this matter.

Basically, everyone only knows that Xiaoxiang was often sick when he was a child, that's all.

Good fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. Xiaoxiang may be able to adapt to the information society better than one can imagine in the future.

Mr. Fengchuan prayed for his daughter in his heart.

Ever since being arrested by the police, Shoko Toyokawa has felt uneasy.

She was always having wild thoughts during the first few days of her detention at the police station and after she was put in jail.

In the past few days, I was basically worried about the fate of the "crychic" members. Will they be imprisoned and spend the rest of their youth like me?

Toyokawa Shoko was scared when she thought about this question, but the more scared she was, the more she couldn't help thinking about it.

In his fearful free time, Xiangzi still squeezed out a little time to feel indignant.

She angrily cursed those opponents within the Toyokawa family: Don't they know that resolving family disputes by leaking information to the police is unsuccessful? Do they really want to see the Toyokawa family torn to pieces?

After being imprisoned, Shoko Toyokawa's living conditions became better than those in the police station.

At this time, she was thinking back on her past life, the teachings she had received in her childhood, and the strict training she had received in her girlhood.

Maybe someone within the Toyokawa family would try to assassinate her while she was in prison? Or maybe not, or maybe they would just let Xiangzi stay in prison and rot like expired fruit.

Only in the dead of night would Xiangzi occasionally recall the puzzle of "becoming a nostalgic" left to him by his late father.

Shoko Toyokawa never thought that she would become a person who was obsessed with the past.

Even in this dire situation, she is still looking forward to the future.
