Of course, now is not the time to take action.

"Just from the look in Mogami-kun's eyes, I know you want to jump up and punch me in the face." At this time, Takashi Shuhei spoke, "Very good, this is actually what I admire most about Mogami-kun, that he is not bound by rules - but for the sake of everyone, I still have to give you a few words of advice. This is my home ground, and it's best not to take action, otherwise something you really don't want to see will happen..."

Although he knew that Jun Mogami might punch him at any time, he did not show any fear or hesitation.

(3④2967④65)

This calmness alone was enough to make Mogami Jun cautious.

That's right, although this building looks very empty, there might be someone hiding inside. If he acts rashly, he might get into big trouble... Jun Mogami gave up the idea of ​​suddenly attacking.

"Although the arrival of two guests was a bit unexpected, it's not a serious accident and the impact is not great. So - please follow me." Takashi Shuhei nodded to Mogami Jun again, then turned and walked to the back of the corridor.

Jun Mogami and Mayu looked at each other, then followed him together.

Now that we are here, it would be ridiculous to back down.

After reaching the end of the corridor, Shuhei Takagi opened the wooden door facing the corridor and walked straight in.

Jun Mogami and Mayu followed him in, and they found that this seemed to be a conference room, decorated quite luxuriously. The room was very large, with a large horseshoe-shaped conference table in the middle, chairs beside it, and a large screen on the front wall, which seemed to be used for projection, and velvet curtains were used around it to block out the light from outside.

"You have come twice, but you have not been formally introduced. If you think about it carefully, it is also my fault for not hosting you well enough—" Takashi Shuhei walked to the main seat of the conference table and sat down directly. "Please allow me to introduce you. This hospital was originally a subsidiary of the Hyoudou Group, but it has been donated to us by President Hyoudou. Now it belongs to the ER3 Association. Yes, although it still functions as a hospital, it is also used as a facility of the Japanese branch of the ER3 Association..."

As if receiving some order, the moment he sat down, the projector installed on the ceiling suddenly started up, and changing images appeared on the screen behind Takashi Shuhei.

141, Track

As the slide projector started working, the light in the entire conference room suddenly dimmed, and for a moment people had the illusion of coming to another world. Mayu couldn't help but shiver slightly, and then grabbed Mogami Jun's hand under the conference table.

Mogami Jun understood Mayu's current mood, so he also held Mayu's hand tightly, using this method to give her a little courage.

However, his main attention is now on Takagi Shuhei.

"ER3 Association? What is that?"

"To put it simply, it is an organization formed to promote the ER3 plan." Takashi Shuhei answered with a smile, "Of course - even if I said that, I'm afraid Mogami-kun will still be confused, so I'll ask Mogami-kun a question first..."

"what?"

"The headquarters of the ER3 Association is in Houston, USA. May I ask, when you heard this city, what was the first thing that came to your mind, Mr. Mogami?" asked Shuhei Takashi.

"Rocket?" Although he didn't really want to cooperate with the other party, after hearing the question, Jun Mogami blurted out.

"Correct! It's you who got to the point so quickly!" Takashi Shuhei clapped his hands, "Yes, Houston is one of the largest space centers in the United States. The U.S. moon landing program was commanded here decades ago. It seems that Mogami-kun really has a wide range of interests-"

Actually... I just thought of that NBA team... Jun Mogami felt a little embarrassed, but he remained calm on his face.

"What's the relationship between the ER3 Association and rockets?" Jun Mogami was a little confused.

"It has nothing to do with rockets in particular, but it has a lot to do with the 'meaning' that rockets represent." Takashi Shuhei answered, "Hasn't Mogami ever thought about it carefully? At the beginning of that century, humans didn't even have gliders, but only 70 years later, they sent people to the moon kilometers away. What a thrilling feat this is?"

Novel 0

Without waiting for Mogami Jun's answer, he made his own summary, "In essence, it represents a great era of endeavor, an era that is dangerous but still worth remembering - it's a pity that now, due to the mediocrity and mutual disturbances among various countries and nations, this era has regrettably ended. The ER3 project was also established to continue to recreate such a great era at some point in the future."

Jun Mogami and Mayu looked at each other again. They still couldn't figure out what this guy was thinking.

"Mogami-kun, remember what I said before? The era of globalization that transcends countries and nations and belongs exclusively to the elite group will truly arrive, and it may come faster than anyone expects--" Takashi Shuhei's gaze fell on Mogami Jun.

"I don't quite agree with your conclusion." Mogami Jun retorted, "There is no sign of that at the moment."

"Aren't the so-called signs obvious?" Takashi Shuhei smiled gently, "Look, the richest man in Japan today is a descendant of Koreans. He has huge investments in the United States and China. He has assistants from all over the world around him, and he travels around the world every day. To such a person, what is the meaning of the country and the nation? And there are already many such people in the world. As time goes by, they will have more wealth, monopolize more technology, and eventually promote the arrival of that era... Remember my words, we will definitely see it coming!"

Mogami Jun frowned slightly. He really didn't expect that one day he would have to seriously discuss this topic with someone.

This doesn't look serious at all...but Shuhei Takagi brought it up in a serious manner, so serious that even Jun Mogami almost took it seriously.

He really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Professor Takashi is either going crazy or he may have already gone crazy.

"This kind of argument is nothing new, right? Many science fiction dystopian novels have described it." Mogami Jun looked at him without showing any weakness. "Similarly, large companies replace the government to rule the future society, or human society is completely ruled by a small group of people relying on technology. I have read many similar novels... I think this kind of inference can only be regarded as a thinking game. It doesn't feel real. Besides, I don't think it has anything to do with me."

"As expected of Mogami-kun, you hit the nail on the head once again!" Takagi Shuhei exclaimed, "Negotiating with smart people is a pleasure, and it requires almost no effort."

"Hmm?" Mogami Jun was confused again.

"The ER3 plan was created to prevent this kind of dystopian ending from happening in the inevitable tide. You can think of it as a guidance plan." Takashi Shuhei raised his hand slightly and pointed at the screen above his head. "As for the guidance target... that is, of course, to lead to that great era."

Following his finger, Jun Mogami looked up at the screen, and at that moment the screen was showing the scene of the rocket launch.

In an instant, the giant rocket on the launch pad spewed out thick smoke, then rose slowly, and then rushed towards space with persistent and unstoppable determination.

Professor Yingsi was right about at least one thing - it was indeed a great era, an era when countries regarded technological achievements as a source of driving force.

"But Mogami-kun is still wrong about one thing - this is not unrelated to you. In fact, you are in the vortex of this era. Whether you act or not, you have been swept forward by the surging tide." Just when Mogami Jun was still thinking, Takashi Shuhei spoke again, "In this day and age, relying on modern technology and the crystallization of wisdom, in front of people who have mastered the entire information flow, you, or anyone else, is almost like a transparent person. Such a terrible thing is controlled by a small group of people. They interfere with your life and decide what you can see and what you get. I'm not saying it's good or bad, I'm just saying that this force is strong enough, so strong that you can't deny its existence at all. We are already standing at the critical point of the times, and we can only think about another question-"

"What's the problem?" Jun Mogami, whose thoughts had already been stimulated, couldn't help but ask.

"Who should have this kind of power?" Takashi Shuhei did not keep the question secret, but answered it directly, "The entire ER3 project exists to answer this question."

Jun Mogami gradually began to understand what the other party meant.

"You mean, the ER3 Association wants to lead the new era? As the dominant force in your hypothetical future elite society?"

"Yes, you have grasped the point again." Takashi Shuhei nodded. "The energy accumulated in modern society is unprecedentedly strong, and the whole trend is irreversible. So, if this powerful force is monopolized by those who should not have it, what will happen? I am afraid it will be the scene described in those dystopian novels, right? Similarly, you can think about it again. If these forces are redirected in the direction they should go, how difficult will it be to recreate a great era? Not to mention the moon, even Mars and Venus, I am afraid that we can see their true appearance in our lifetime, right? Of course, I am just using planets as an analogy. There are more great things we can do than just this."

That sounds quite tempting... Jun Mogami thought.

For a moment, he seemed to be persuaded by Ying Si Shuhei——

Unfortunately, because it is so high-sounding, it makes people more confused.

Takashi Shuhei's words sounded more like the rhetoric of a C-sales organization. And unfortunately, Mogami Jun had experienced this once before from Hyodo Takako - she also used this method to promote her club to her classmates in the school auditorium.

However, the cruel reality proved that she had no intention of letting her juniors join her club. She just wanted these poor guys to help her try the drugs.

Wait... Jun Mogami suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of something very important.

Then, he looked up at Takashi Shuhei and said, "Hyoudou Takako said that the drugs she used on my classmates were brought from the United States through your connections. So can I infer that these drugs were specially developed by your ER3 Association?"

"That's right. We don't need to be shy about it now. That's right." Takashi Shuhei nodded nonchalantly. "I think you should also know that Houston is also a center for drug and medical research. Many important members of the ER3 Association are experts in this field, and the drugs were developed by them. When we were preparing for the experiment, Takako volunteered to choose the venue and subjects for the association. To be honest, when I first heard that she actually chose her alma mater, I was also surprised... But objectively speaking, it may indeed be a very suitable test subject."

I understand... Jun Mogami took a deep breath.

At this moment, his classmate Koichi Sakai was still staying in the hospital. Needless to say, it was clear that the other party kept him just to observe the effect of the medicine.

Now that we have come to this point, the purpose of the ER3 Association developing this drug is naturally quite clear -

"When we first started the experiment, we never imagined that the situation would develop to this extent, but this is a pleasant surprise." Takashi Shuhei continued to smile at Mogami Jun, "Mogami-kun finally defeated Takako. Some people may think that you didn't win in the exam, but that doesn't matter at all. Being able to react so quickly in a short period of time and then executing without hesitation is exactly the talent and - purity that I value. So I think that compared to the drug experiment, Mogami-kun is our biggest gain in this experiment."

Jun Mogami looked at Shuhei Takagi's face and suddenly felt a little ironic.

"You are doing this under the banner of being upright, but you have no scruples. Don't you think this is ridiculous?"

"What is light and what is darkness? The boundary between them is inherently chaotic and meaningless." Takagi Shuhei asked, "Was that great era bright? But for scientific experiments and aerospace, for progress, countless people lost their lives. Is this light or darkness? Neither. This is a necessary price. It is because of this price that we have such a rich and convenient life. This is the price that must be paid to make human society great again, rather than degenerate and decline. It is even just a trivial price."

Then, he stood up from his seat and looked down at Mogami Jun, "I believe that after what I have explained here, Mogami-kun should have understood that the entire purpose of the ER3 plan is to recruit, cultivate and train talented people who can truly shoulder the heavy responsibility, lead the world back to the track of the great era, and avoid the worst future. And Mogami-kun, you are honored to become a provisional member of this association."

Mogami Jun didn't answer, but just sat in his seat.

You are just living your life, and suddenly one day, someone comes up and says that he wants to make you one of the talents who will lead the world forward... What would you think? It seems like a dream anyway.

And it seems like a nightmare.

Jun Mogami asked himself and realized that this proposal was indeed not very attractive.

The risk is too great. Since the ER3 Association gave drugs to so many students without hesitation just to test the reactions, then God knows whether they also regarded themselves as some kind of test subjects.

Most importantly, he hated being intimidated by others.

"You seem to be quite rich—" After a long silence, Jun Mogami said in a low voice.

"I've already said that there are many people around the world who hope that era will come as soon as possible and are willing to contribute their efforts to the ER3 project and provide the necessary sponsorship." Takashi Shuhei replied calmly, "So we are not short of funds. If Mogami-kun is obsessed with money, then I can only say that you will lose interest soon."

"That's really tempting..." Mogami Jun smiled, "Then I would like to ask, I should not be the only one you have your eyes on, right?"

"Of course there are more than that. Although the young generation in Japan is almost becoming useless, there are still a few who can be cultivated. Of course, I am more optimistic about you, Mogami-kun." Professor Takashi also laughed. "I think you are even more promising than Takako, as long as you continue to maintain that purity."

Under his gaze, Mogami Junya stood up from his seat and looked at him without giving in. "I am honored to be valued by you, but unfortunately, please leave this precious opportunity to others, and please wish them good luck for me."

With such a clear rejection, Mogami Jun originally thought that Takagi Shuhei might be furious, but to his disappointment, Takagi Shuhei's expression did not change at all, as if he had expected it.

"As expected, that's the answer... I know you, so it's not surprising. You are just like that. But honestly, Mogami-kun, we have already talked so much. Do you really think that this is a problem that can be solved with just one or two excuses?"

"Then how do you want to solve it?" Mogami Jun asked back.

142, accident

"So how do you want to solve it?"

Following Mogami Jun's question, the atmosphere between the two began to rapidly grow cold.

Of course, Mogami Jun knew that since the other party had spent so much effort to summon him and deliberately explained so many things, he would definitely not give up just because of a few words from him.

He was not afraid of what Shuhei Takagi would do to him. After all, this so-called ER3 Association did not seem to be able to do whatever it wanted and ignore everything. But it was different for Shinyu. After all, the other party was holding the handle that was vital to Shinyu's life.

When he thought of this, he regretted bringing Zhenyou here. If Zhenyou was present now, not only might she not be able to help him, but it might also give Professor Ying Si a better opportunity to use Zhenyou to attack him.

As expected, this is what Professor Takashi said, my purity has been reduced...

Mogami Jun glanced at Mayu who was sitting next to him from the corner of his eye.

Perhaps because what the professor had just said was beyond her understanding, she did not say a word and now just sat there blankly, looking confused.

Alas, I can't count on her now... Jun Mogami could only sigh in his heart.

But even so he did not regret it, after all, this matter was his own responsibility.

"How do we solve it?" Just when Mogami Jun was still worried about the outcome, Takagi Shuhei smiled and spoke again, "If Mogami-kun backs down in the face of such a brilliant idea, then it's obviously difficult for me to convince you with other words. So let's skip the words and solve the problem in the most practical way—"

"What do you mean?"

Takagi Shuhei did not answer immediately, but took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and slid it across the table directly in front of Mogami Jun. "This is all the information we collected from your computer at that time. Please accept it first."

what? !

Jun Mogami looked at the small square electronic device in front of him with doubt and amazement.

It's more like being shocked than being surprised.

What on earth was this guy planning? Wasn't he throwing away his most powerful weapon?

The most important reason why Takagi Shuhei was able to control me was that he had the information stolen from me, those photos that were enough to severely damage Mayu. But now he returned these things to me without hesitation... Doesn't that mean that he has nothing that threatens me?

He couldn't imagine the professor doing this, so he was really shocked.

Did this guy keep a backup? But if there was a backup, what was the point of returning the data to himself?

"Don't worry, there is no backup, all the information is in there. As long as you take it away, no new photos will be leaked next time." As if he saw what Mogami Jun was thinking, Takashi Shuhei replied with a smile, "As long as you take it away, then all the information will be taken back, and all your mistakes will be made up for."

It was so simple and easy... Jun Mogami was surprised and delighted.

He suppressed the joy in his heart, reached out to pick up the USB drive, and put it in his trouser pocket.

"If you think I will be touched by this and agree to your request, then you are very wrong." But he still did not give in. "You gave it back to me voluntarily. I have no obligation to do anything for it."

"Of course, of course. If you are moved by this and make concessions in your position, I will be very disappointed." Ying Si Shuhei nodded, "Having said that, you are actually right. It is already quite unqualified for a professor to bully the younger generation. If he continues to threaten him, it seems a bit too cheap... So, I will not continue to threaten you with Miss Takasaki-"

Mogami Jun and Mayu looked at each other, and both of them could hardly hide their joy.

But despite his happiness, Jun Mogami still had a hint of caution in his heart - could there be such good people and good deeds in the world?

Maybe there is, but Shuhei Takagi is obviously not that kind of person.

So what on earth was he up to? Jun Mogami was completely confused.

But this is also normal. Takagi Shuhei is a weirdo himself, and he is likely to do anything weird.

"Mogami-kun, you should no longer feel the anger of being coerced and suppressed, and you should be able to talk to me objectively and rationally, right?" After a moment of silence, Takashi Shuhei asked again. "I know you must want to leave right now, but please give me a little more time..."

"Okay, then please continue." Jun Mogami replied coldly.

Just as Shuhei Takagi said, after getting the crucial item so easily, most of Mogami Jun's anger had dissipated, and his original nervousness and anxiety also disappeared. For him, now he has nothing to worry about, so he is in a very free and proactive position, and can actually listen to what the professor is up to.

"What I want to pursue is quite clear, and I think it is completely beneficial to you. Although you chose to refuse due to some regrettable factors, I firmly believe that you will eventually realize your own value. Before that, we will also try our best to let you maintain your purity until you realize your potential-"

"Wait..." Mogami Jun felt something was wrong and interrupted the other party, "What are you going to do?"

"It's not that I'm planning to do it, but I'm already doing it..." Takashi Shuhei deliberately prolonged his voice, and then suddenly fixed his eyes on Mayu, "Ms. Takasaki?"

Although the other party's attitude was gentle and polite, Takasaki Mayu trembled unnaturally at this moment, then stared at the other party with wide eyes, "It's too late for you to use sweet words to get along with me now, I won't be fooled by you again!"
