They investigated for three days like this but couldn't find any information, which made them extremely helpless. In the end, they could only give up. Fortunately, the source had been sealed, and all that remained was to thoroughly search for any remaining download locations.
These three days had worn out everyone except Yowane and Shokuhou.
"This can be considered a temporary conclusion, right?"
Yowane said mischievously. From the very beginning, she knew someone would investigate, so she had carefully cleaned up all her traces, ensuring no one could track it back to her.
"I suppose so! But not catching the 'mastermind' is a problem. There's no guarantee he/she won't pop up one day and release new material."
Mikoto said with a somewhat serious expression, but her panda eyes looked rather festive. In the morning, Yowane had a good time, successfully making Mikoto lose her composure. Out of embarrassment and anger, Mikoto chased Yowane for ten kilometers. One might say that electrokinesis is indeed a wonderful ability, capable of stimulating and strengthening the body, but in the end, Mikoto, who was almost out of breath, had to give up.
"It's also possible that the other party simply didn't know such serious problems would occur. You can't be sure."
Ruiko said with a hint of optimism, her eyes heavy with dark circles.
"I hope so!"
This was Kuroko, who was observing from the sidelines. As Judgment members, they had access to a lot of the darkness within Academy City. She also hoped the other party wasn't someone who would cause trouble, but one should never rely on luck and always prepare for the worst.
"Um, why don't we take a break today? Let's go eat some cake or something!"
Haruue tried to break the silent atmosphere. Everyone agreed and walked towards a famous coffee shop. It was said that the owner could blend five types of coffee beans to make mixed-flavor coffee, and the cakes also looked very good.
As they passed by a street, Yowane suddenly saw a girl with very large breasts walk past. Of course, she wasn't paying attention to her breasts, but rather noticed that her body was in a semi-transparent state. After a careful Perception, she realized that the other party didn't even have a physical body; the place symbolizing her head was an energy crystal. These characteristics perfectly matched only one existence: Kazakiri Hyouka.
"Kazakiri, huh! What a coincidence, but it's better not to say hello now, lest I scare her."
Yowane glanced at the people around her, then at Kazakiri's slowly departing figure. Ultimately, she decided it was better not to approach her yet, fearing she might scare the timid girl, and besides, she couldn't leave right now.
Meanwhile, in a windowless building, a peeping... cough cough! A 'quadruped' who looked like a man and a woman, an adult and a child, a saint and a sinner, was watching a video. It was Mami's 'vacation trip' in Italy, though this vacation was rather tragic.
"This time, let this girl go. Looking at her current condition, her body is probably at its limit."
A woman's voice came from the void. Rather than speaking to someone, she was talking to herself.
"With Heaven Canceller, he can fix the Imagine Breaker. After all, this is an indispensable and important part of the plan."
Edward explained her plan, but the content of her words was chilling. She wasn't treating people as people, but directly as tools.
"Aren't you afraid she'll have mental problems?"
"I will adjust it when necessary, but not now. Now she needs to grow to her limits to meet my needs."
Watching Mami being attacked, Edward's eyes showed no flicker of emotion, as if she were a true machine.
"That girl (Yowane) seems to have released a new song recently!"
"What? I didn't know! I need to go listen. It's a sin to miss such a big event because of such a small matter recently, God! Forgive me!"
"No, I think God will strike you down."
Although she thought this, Aiwass in the void watched Edward's sudden change in demeanor with amusement. It was too interesting for her. Although there was a hint of 'disgust' in her heart, there was more amusement. She had been feeling her emotions slowly blossoming recently, which made her life increasingly interesting.
"You haven't tested your artificial heaven yet, have you!"
"Such a small matter can wait until I've finished listening."
Alright! This 'person' is completely beyond saving, quickly drag him out and bury him!
On the other side, Mami's face was as if it had been splashed with black paint. She knew her luck had never been that good, but God! Can't you let poor Miss Mami have a good vacation without something suddenly happening again? This kind of life is exhausting.
After repelling the two attackers, before Mami could even catch her breath, the ground began to shake. This startled Mami. Was it an earthquake? Or a tsunami? But the next moment, she knew what it was.
A ship, like crystal, emerged from the water. This scene shocked Mami. This ship was incredibly luxurious. How much could it sell for?
"Mami, over here."
"Index? How did you get up there? Come down quickly."
"I don't know either! Huh!"
Just as Index was about to jump down, the ship suddenly started at an extremely fast speed, moving incredibly quickly, like a race car on the sea.
"Misfortune!"
Watching the distant ship, Mami looked at her hands and once again shouted her classic line to the sky.
