"Hmm? I seem to hear the sound of a cat... Is it an illusion?" Kayoko Onikata poked her head out from outside with a suspicious look on her face, looked towards the office where everyone was, and seeing that nothing happened, she had to retract her head in disappointment.

"No, no, Buchou, actually, we have a question that we would like to ask Minister Himari."

"Hahaha, I see. Have you run into any tough problems? Do you need me to temporarily lend you the brain and wisdom of the sickly genius girl from the Millennium Institute of Technology?"

"Yes, yes! Himari-senpai, by all means!" Xiao Tu Maki nodded heavily with excitement on his face.

After listening to the brief conversation between Xiao Goujing and Otose Xiaoyu, Mingxing Himari came to the answer just by taking a look at the screens of their mobile phones.

She raised her hand and gently stroked her fair, even somewhat sickly cheek, and said with a smile:

"So that's how it is. I already know the general situation. Although the answer to this question makes me very uncomfortable, it should be okay to tell you now."

"Very unhappy? Why?" Xiao Tu Maki tilted his head curiously.

"This network signal was sent from a device brought from the fortress city of Eridu by that slug...your student council president. Since it's not connected to the outside world, it's not affected by Alice."

"Regarding the Millennium Institute network outage, you can understand it this way: Alice's control of the signal is like a virus, spreading exponentially through everyone's connected network."

"Oh, so that's how it is." The three little ones from the Ministry of Truth nodded in unison. Then, the star Hinami raised the corners of his mouth with a smile, glanced at Makoto Kaguya beside him, and lowered his chin.

"Although your minister wants you to take this opportunity to get off the internet and try to get you back to real life, the situation is urgent now, and that slug is probably still hiding in his shell."

"Go find her the password she needs to connect to the network."

The echo of the star's voice slowly fell in the room. Xiao Goujing, Otose Xiaoyu, and Xiao Tu Maki stood there in a daze for a few seconds, then they came to their senses in an instant and widened their eyes in excitement.

"I, I understand. Thank you, Himari-senpai!!!"

Accompanied by cheers of joy, the three of them rushed out of the storage room and ran to the floors above the Millennium Tower, looking for the dark figure.

"Minister Himari, I think at this time you and the president should put aside your grudges and work together to fight the crisis that Millennium Institute of Technology is facing."

"Haha, of course. The destination of our direction is the same. It's just that the destination of the road we choose is different."

"Even if we don't do anything, sensei will solve this problem and make the right choice. I believe that."

"That's right. With sensei here, we don't have to worry about anything. We can just focus on the things at hand."

"Sensei, what's wrong? Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Do you want me to hold you tighter?"

At the take-off platform on the top floor of the Millennium Tower, Lin Qiusheng and Hoshino Kotori sat side by side. The pink girl leaned on his shoulder, and they stared at the sunset in the distance.

Without looking at the Millennium Institute of Technology below, this sunny weather with a slightly cool breeze is still very pleasant.

"Well...it's not so much that I feel uncomfortable, but rather that I feel like I'm suffering, unable to express my pain."

Lin Qiusheng lowered his eyes speechlessly, recalling his previous conversation with Diao Yue Liyin and reviewing the game afterward.

It's really weird. If I were my usual self, I wouldn't be speechless after being confronted like that. Could it be that I'm overwhelmed by all the things I've been told all of a sudden?

If it were my current self, I would definitely swear to Liyin that I could definitely save Tendo Alice and those students who were kidnapped but have not yet turned into books.

Should I go talk to Liyin again now? No, I suddenly feel a little awkward. I really want to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

Although most of the students in Millennium Institute of Technology have been evacuated, there is never a shortage of people who disobey orders in this world.

In order to save the lives of those students, the members of the Valkyrie Police Department bandaged their wounds and rushed to the bottom of the Millennium Tower using an elevator that was only powered by electricity.

However, when Lin Qiusheng wanted to go with them to search and rescue the trapped students, Weiren Ye Zhu stopped him, saying that the search and rescue mission should now be carried out by them.

Let Lin Qiusheng and other swordsmen stay in the Millennium Tower on standby so that if Megiddo appears again, they can rush to the scene as soon as possible.

Afterwards, Toyomi Kotori and Nekatsuka Hibiki also hurried over from the activity room of the engineering department below to retrieve the holy swords from Hayashi Akikatsu, Hayase Yuuka and others.

In the next period of time, Shiraishi Utahara will grind the blades of these holy swords to make them sharper.

Just like that, Lin Qiusheng was driven out by Hayase Yuuka, Namishio Noah and others, and asked to go and rest. Now they can take care of the Millennium Institute of Technology.

Lin Qiusheng raised his hand and touched his waist, then he remembered that the Shiting Box was still in the hands of Shengyan Noah. Without the Internet, there was nothing to do.

"Hehe, sensei, I'm back."

"Ah, this sound, is it from Heifu?" Lin Qiusheng murmured while lying on Kotori Yu Xingye's thighs and turned his head towards the source of the sound.

It seemed real and illusory, the ethereal black mist slowly dissipated with the wind, and the man in black appeared in front of him with his usual smirk on his face.

Behind the man in black, there was a puppet also wearing a dark green suit. Its body was made of wood and it had two heads on top of its head. It was moving slowly, making a harsh sound similar to that of nails scratching a blackboard, which made Lin Qiusheng feel uncomfortable in his teeth.

He slowly sat up, his dark eyes staring at the black suit and the person behind it. At the same time, the lazy expression on Hoshino Takanashi's face disappeared without a trace. He took out a shotgun from his side and aimed it at them, looking around vigilantly.

"Heifu, can you tell me about this puppet of yours? What exactly is it?"

Lin Qiusheng stood up and walked slowly to a place about ten steps away from the black suit, then stopped and stared at the figure behind it that exuded a strange aura and stood still.

Millennium Technology Academy: Chapter 177: Maid Codename 04

"Sensei, this is one of my fellow members of the Kakumikai, called the Master."

The man in black clothes smiled and bowed slightly to Lin Qiusheng. He put his left hand behind his back and stretched his right palm upwards towards the direction of the master behind him, giving a brief introduction.

Xiao Niaoyou Xingye stood in front of Lin Qiusheng with his mouth drooping, holding the shotgun tightly with both hands, with his right index finger on the trigger, and staring at the master and the black suit vigilantly.

"I see, so your name is Master..."

The next moment, accompanied by Lin Qiusheng's low murmur, his dark eyes gradually became dull, and he disappeared behind Kotori Hoshino like a ghost and rushed forward.

When the man in black came to his senses, he saw Lin Qiusheng transformed into a dark figure, passing by him and appearing in front of the master. He raised his right arm, whose muscles were as tight as a crossbow, and swung it forward.

The man in black raised his eyebrows, with a wicked smile of "Ku Ku Ku" on his face, and his mouth curled up, with an expression of wanting to watch the fun and not mind getting involved. His single eye, emitting a soft white light, moved quickly along with the afterimage, looking at the master behind him.

"Wow~ As expected of sensei, you're really fast~"

"boom!!!"

Before it could finish its words, Lin Qiusheng's sandbag-sized fist landed on the two wooden heads on the master's shoulders. Under the huge impact, the master flew backwards like a puppet towards the apron and fell heavily to the ground.

"Let me make it clear first, this is just interest. I'm afraid I won't be able to resist beating you up when I talk to you later!"

"Roar, roar~ It's really scary." The man in black narrowed his single eye that emitted white light, and looked at the master who fell to the ground and didn't move, gloating.

Of course, Lin Qiusheng would not let it go, after all, it was also one of the participants in this disaster.

After briefly punishing the master, he pressed his index finger with his right thumb, making a crisp "click, click" sound, and slowly walked towards the man in black.

"Heifu, don't hide. If you do, the next time the flaming sword will fall on you."

"Haha, since it's sensei's request, I naturally can't refuse." The man in black put on an open-minded and calm look, opened his arms above his head and closed his eyes, as if saying to Lin Qiusheng, "You can do whatever you want with me."

This made Lin Qiusheng's face twitch in disgust. Come to think of it, this guy in black clothes did the same thing before. In order to express his sincerity, he even decided to give his body to him.

Unexpectedly, Hei Fu is not only Nan Tong, but also a masochist.

Thinking of this, Lin Qiusheng took a step back with disdain, keeping a safe distance from Heifu. After all, if you hit a masochist with your hand, it might be very painful, but it will definitely feel good.

"Sensei, please be careful, that guy gives me a bad feeling just like the black guy!"

Hoshino Takanashi quickly stood in front of Lin Qiusheng and aimed the shotgun in his hand at the master who was lying on the ground in a strange posture.

Since the Flame Sword Rehuo had been recovered by Tomi Kotori and taken to the activity room of the engineering department for repair, Lin Qiusheng held "Dragon of Courage" and "King Arthur" tightly in his left hand.

If an accident occurs, he can also use the power of the fantasy drive book to attack Black Suit and the Master.

However, the scene that Lin Qiusheng had expected did not happen. The man in black with a sly smile on his face slowly lowered his raised arms, crossed his arms in front of his chest, scratched his chin lightly with his left hand, and stared at the puppet that fell to the ground.

"Sensei, do you know what desire is?"

Unlike the harsh sound caused by the friction of its body, a high-pitched voice with a hint of brightness came from the master. The master twisted his head which was bent by the collision, and stood up in a strange posture like a puppet.

It slightly lowered its chin, gently brushed off the dust on its dark green suit, and twisted its dislocated torso nonchalantly, straightening itself up again.

“…creak…creak…creak.”

"Everything in the world is a product of desire. Electronic technology, concrete buildings, guns and artillery shells are all created by someone to satisfy his or her own desires."

"These are not about justice or evil, or righteousness or selfishness. They are works created by authors full of desire, who materialize the inspiration in their minds into this real world."

“Whenever I touch those works, my soul as an artist feels a tremor of excitement.”

"Nice to meet you, sensei. My name is Master, and I'm an artist. I'm always pursuing the ultimate in art, turning my inspiration into art and bringing it to reality."

Whenever an extremely excited voice came from the master's head, the expression on Lin Qiusheng's face would become more relaxed, until the corners of his mouth were grinning from ear to ear. He looked in the direction of the master with some disgust and approached the man in black clothes and asked:

"...Is this thing really alright? Otherwise, I'll just tear it apart, light a fire, and burn it for firewood. It's so weird."

"Also, I hate the Riddler the most. He can't explain things clearly, and has to say something obscure and difficult to understand."

"Sensei, although I fully agree with your approach, it seems that the Master still has a purpose and is still of great value."

Lin Qiusheng and Heifu were discussing what kind of dish would be best to make after the giant was dismantled into sticks and set on fire.

He looked at the giant warily with his dark eyes and raised his chin towards it.

"So, do you have anything to explain about what happened this time at Millennium Institute of Technology and my student, Alice Tendo?"

"...Explain?" The giant tilted his head in confusion, and suddenly, he straightened his body as if he understood something.

"I understand. You intend to ask how I planned this event, as well as the meaning behind it and the inspiration behind it."

"The truth and sublimity contained in this is so beautiful, it makes my soul and heart so..."

While the master was immersed in self-absorption, Lin Qiusheng frowned, and his dark eyes reflected it in the sunlight.

"I'm not here to discuss literature with you. Be careful or I'll pull the rubber band out of your clothes, turn it into a slingshot, and use it to shoot at your windows!"

"What I want to ask is, are you an enemy or a friend?"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Qiusheng flicked his left wrist, and the outermost cover of the dark blue fantasy-driven book flipped open. Pale blue energy like a firefly condensed in his right hand.

“KING OF ARTHUR”

"Once upon a time, a knight king struck a blow that punished evil and promoted good."

The legendary holy sword appeared in Lin Qiusheng's hand, emitting a chilling and awe-inspiring light under the sunlight above his head.

"Depending on your answer, I will consider whether to punish you according to the laws of Kivotos or to completely eliminate you here."

"...Squeak... Whether they are enemies or friends depends on the circumstances. However, please rest assured, Sensei. The Black Servant regards you as an oasis in the endless ocean and claims to be your observer."

"And I consider myself to be someone who understands you. I understand the true meaning of everything you do. Whenever my inspiration runs dry, looking at you gives me new insights!"

"...Squeak...sensei, I didn't misunderstand you. You are the one I've been looking for!"

“…This guy is beyond saving.”

Looking at the master who was in an intoxicated state, Lin Qiusheng drooped his shoulders and took a deep breath helplessly before slowly exhaling. It seemed that the members of this so-called Secret Society of Numbers were all people with problems in their brains.

It is better to keep some distance between them and the students, so as not to let the idiocy spread out.

"Haha, sensei, as long as you like it."

"Who likes you messy guys!" Lin Qiusheng couldn't stand it anymore and pointed at the black suit and complained angrily:

"You! You're like a stinky preserved egg that's been sitting in brine for months."

"And that giant over there? He's clearly a puppet, so why does he have two heads? He clearly has no facial features, yet he can see clearly and even converse freely."

“There’s something wrong with this world, right?!…Haaa…Haaa.”

Hoshino Takanashi just stood there laughing, took a step back and stood side by side with Lin Qiusheng, patting his back gently to comfort him.

The black suit didn't care about Lin Qiusheng's abstract and rude metaphor, and shrugged helplessly. Then, it and the master turned their heads to look at the sunset behind them as if they had discovered something.

"...Squeak...Squeak, well, sensei, an unexpected guest is about to meet you. Allow me to say goodbye for now."

"Huh? You guy, our conversation shouldn't be over yet, right?" Lin Qiusheng raised his eyebrows arrogantly and was about to raise the holy sword in his right hand.

The next moment, a black shadow streaked across the air and landed heavily behind the master, followed by the sound of cheerful music and children's laughter, as if they were in an amusement park.

"Nihehehe~"

"That laughter is...Xiaoxue? No, it's the crow from that time!"

Hei Bai, who had met Lin Qiu Sheng once before, appeared in front of Lin Qiu Sheng and Kotori Hoshino, waving the magic wand in his hand and scattering dots of light.

Just like a magic trick, those little points of light quickly gathered towards the master's body and wrapped it up. When the light particles dissipated, the master's body was slowly disappearing from the spot.

"Then I look forward to the choices you and that girl will make, and to the climax of this story!"

"...Black clothes." Lin Qiusheng lowered his eyelids and called out in a low voice:

"Excuse me, what can I do for you, sensei?"

"Why do I feel like everyone lately always runs away in the middle of a conversation? Is it just my imagination?"

"Yes, it's your illusion. Please don't mind it. Speaking of which, it seems that you have guests arriving here soon."
