Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, Li Wei and You Nu did not linger and rode their bicycles back to Chuyun Manor.

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

Song mostly stayed in her room, since the MBI was still searching for her, so she avoided showing herself whenever possible. Through the security camera, she saw Li Wei and Younu park their motorcycle in the backyard.

After parking the car, Li Wei reached into the air and instantly disappeared halfway. Seeing this, Song was not surprised. From the first day Li Wei came to Chuyun Manor, she already knew that he was no ordinary person. This ability to manipulate space was one of the abilities Li Wei possessed.

Li Wei took out a large bag of food from his consciousness space and said, "We need to stock up on some food at home. After all, everyone else is a girl except me, and girls usually like to eat sweet things."

Uranium Girl said, "But Li Wei, some of the food you bought isn't very durable for storage."

Li Wei said, "Don't worry, you have to believe in the power of magic. Even a vegetable can be kept fresh for a hundred years without rotting. Keeping food at its best is a very simple thing for me."

"Is there anything you can't do?" Uranium Girl exclaimed.

Li Wei pretended to be deep in thought and said, "I can't do something like having a child right now."

The woman blushed and said, "Who told you to say such a thing! How can a man give birth!"

The surveillance camera Song had installed in the yard had an eavesdropping attachment, so she could hear their conversation very clearly. Hearing that the food was for the apartment's reserves, Song's face immediately lit up with a smile; she hadn't left the apartment in a long time, and her food supplies in her room were long gone.

Originally, she planned to go out to resupply in the next few days, but then Li Wei and Younü suddenly moved in. Before confirming that the two were trustworthy, she didn't dare to appear openly in the apartment and could only try to avoid them, so she didn't have the chance to go out to shop. Now that Li Wei has suddenly bought a lot of food to replenish the apartment's food reserves, this is good news for her.

Li Wei said, "Uranium Girl, are you really that innocent?! Who was that person who just told me about wall buttocks? Give Uranium Girl back to me right now!"

The blushing Uranium Girl quickly said, "How can these two things be confused?!"

Li Wei raised his hand and said, "Okay, let's leave it at that. If we keep talking about this, it'll be troublesome if Meizai hears us. I'll put the things in the living room later. I remember there are storage cabinets in the living room, so we can put them there."

Song, who was in her room, excitedly punched Li Wei a few times upon hearing his words. Having the food in the living room would make it much easier for her to get it. There was a secret passage from her room leading directly to the roof of the living room, and she could go down to get the food when no one was around. Li Wei had mentioned that the food was protected by a preservation spell, so it wouldn't spoil no matter how long it was left out. This was good news for her; taking a small amount shouldn't be noticed.

Chapter 1. The Wagtail Game

After placing the food in the living room cabinet, Li Wei didn't rush to leave. Instead, he turned on the TV, sat down on the beanbag chair, and started watching.

The woman opened the cabinet, took out some food, and placed it on the coffee table. Thanks to the magic preservation, the baked goods she took out were still piping hot and exuding a rich aroma.

Song, hiding in the secret passage, was somewhat anxious. Neither Li Wei nor You Nu seemed to be planning to leave.

"This roast chicken smells so good! I didn't expect there to be a vendor with such skill at the temple fair. I'll bring more next time I go." The woman tore off a chicken wing, and as the meat separated from the skin, the aroma spread like a bomb exploding.

Song, hiding in the secret passage, could naturally smell the fragrance. She sniffed, feeling her stomach growling. Nothing was more cruel than watching others eat when you were hungry.

Li Wei said, "I have copied all the ingredients for the various foods I bought this time into the Food Tablecloth. So whenever I crave something, I can use the Food Tablecloth to materialize them in bulk."

Uranium Girl's eyes lit up, and she said, "Such a good thing?"

Li Wei said, "I've been to quite a few places, and wherever I go, I learn about the local cuisine and collect many samples. The best samples, after my modifications, are copied into the Food Tablecloth. Otherwise, how would the Food Tablecloth series of recipes come about?"

Uranium Girl said, "I see. So that means we can enjoy all the world's delicacies without leaving home."

Matsu, who was inside the secret passage, was also dumbfounded when she heard the conversation between the two. She did not expect that Li Wei had such a trick up his sleeve. Although she had known for a long time that Li Wei was not an ordinary person, even the Sekirei with its extraordinary power could not do such a thing. Therefore, Matsu became more and more curious about the mysterious Li Wei.

The rich aroma permeated the entire room, and naturally, the scent could also be smelled in the secret passage. Song decided to return to her room first, since staying here any longer was too pitiful. Watching others enjoy delicious food while she could only hide in the shadows and swallow her own saliva made her feel as pathetic as a mouse, a feeling that was extremely unpleasant.

Sitting in the living room, Li Wei could naturally sense Song's presence. But sometimes, pretending not to know is an art. Although the two hadn't met yet, Li Wei had already gotten used to teasing Song in the details. For example, like now, knowing the other's plans, he still lingered in the living room for a long time.

Uranium Girl looked up at the ceiling, a puzzled expression on her face, and said, "Why do I keep feeling like someone is watching us? Could it be that there's someone else here besides us? Miya is still tending to her flowers and plants in the courtyard. Could there be a ghost in the apartment?"

Li Wei laughed and said, "I don't know if there are ghosts, but besides us, there should be other guests at Izumo Manor. It's just that I don't know why this guest is unwilling to appear in front of us."

As Uranium Girl tore into a chicken leg, she mumbled, "That cowardly guy probably has some shady secret, which is why he's hiding from us."

The Uranium Girl's statement was somewhat prejudiced, but Li Wei did not intend to correct her. After all, one cannot develop empathy for things without experiencing them firsthand.

As the No. in the sequence, Song has witnessed too much of the dark side, so it's normal for him to be so vigilant. Put yourself in Song's shoes; any normal person in his situation would be just as wary. After all, it concerns his life, and any carelessness could bring disaster upon himself. How could he not be vigilant in such a situation?

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

Inside the MBI building, in the large conference room on the top floor, only three people were seated, making the already huge conference room seem even more empty.

The white-clad man sitting in the main seat wore black-rimmed glasses and had his hands folded together, covering his chin, much like Wataru Ikari from the next film set. Unfortunately, there was an inexplicable aura about the white-clad man that made his behavior seem somewhat comical.

Even while sitting in a chair, he didn't undo his white cloak, but instead folded it and draped it over the back of the chair, making him look even more ridiculous.

However, the other two people present were already used to the white-clad man's unconventional style and didn't say anything. They knew that even if they did, it would be useless; the white-clad man before them couldn't be understood using normal human logic.

The bespectacled man in white is Hiroto Miyabi, the father of the original protagonist. Although he is over forty, he looks very young, like a teenager, thanks to the biotechnology his family's company possesses. His voice is also full of youthful energy; it's hard to imagine that someone his age could still maintain such enthusiasm.

·Requesting flowers·· ······

Wearing a researcher's white lab coat, Takami Sahashi said, "Mi, I've already explained all the usable materials. Even so, do you still intend to continue pushing forward with Project Sekirei?"

Mihiro laughed and said, "It's just a mere external threat. If we stop the plan because of something like that, wouldn't all our previous investments have gone to waste?"

Sahashi Takami said, "But that unknown force is clearly targeting the Sekirei. If we continue with the plan, the Sekirei outside will be in great danger. They are very likely to be ambushed by the unknown force, which will have a great impact on your plan."

. . .......

Mihiro laughed and said, "As long as the core doesn't have any problems, it doesn't matter. The products of the general compilation are consumables for completing the plan. After the plan enters the fourth stage, they will all be destroyed. Even if the other side gets them, it doesn't matter. They won't be able to get more technology from the Sekirei's body. I am still confident in this regard."

Hiroto Miyamoto himself started out in the tech world. Besides Takami Sahashi, he also played a significant role in the various technologies used to adjust Sekirei. Therefore, he was confident in MBI's existing technological barriers. The technological barriers he set up were not something just anyone could break through. After all, Sekirei's power involved highly mystical concepts like emotions and feelings, a system completely different from existing human technology. Without his guidance, outsiders couldn't even grasp the most basic level. Moreover, the non-core members' technology was rather limited; even if it fell into enemy hands, it wouldn't matter to him.

As for the safety of the Sekirei? If he cared about such a thing, he wouldn't have started the Sekirei game in the first place. He already had a contingency plan in mind. Excluding the individuals from the punishment team, the number of Sekirei who could survive to the fourth stage could be counted on one hand. Apart from a few core members, the remaining lucky survivors would all die in the final stage, and even the core members wouldn't escape this step.

The Sekirei game was part of his plan to ascend to godhood, and it was not to be opposed. In order to achieve his goal, he considered the death of all the Sekirei as a necessary sacrifice.

Chapter 1. The Plan Begins

The two people sitting below had rather complicated expressions. One was the technical director, Takami Sahashi, and the other was Ashimei and Natsuro Nonomiya, two members of the punishment team, Sekirei.

Mihiro's cold-blooded approach of treating the Sekirei as a consumable was physically uncomfortable for both of them. For a moment, Nyomiya even had the thought of having Karasu kill Mihiro. This kind of demon in human skin was truly chilling.

Sahashi Takami said, "Our enemy is not to be underestimated. You saw that mechanical arm yourself; that kind of technology is no joke. Moreover, machines have a huge advantage over biological bodies: they can be mass-produced. Our main force consists of only the Yu-chan, while we have no idea how many high-end combatants the enemy has. Besides, not every Yu-chan can reach the level of No.."

Sahashi Takami was very clear about the current situation. After Miya left MBI, the group's high-end combat power system had actually collapsed. Miya's strength was the foundation of MBI. Without this pillar of strength, Mihiro was still as reckless as before. In her opinion, this was simply courting death.

Mihiro laughed and said, "I regret No.'s departure, but MBI can't function without her. I have been developing new technologies over the years. Project Sekirei is just one part of the application of technology. Believe me, I have enough cards to play to deal with any changes in the outside world."

Before boarding the Starship Island, Hiroto and Takami Sahashi were both top students in the Biology Department of Teito University. They were the most talented biotechnology researchers in the history of the entire university. It was precisely because of this that the biotechnology obtained from the Starship could be used to this extent. If it were someone else, even if they obtained the Starship, they would not be able to reverse-engineer those technologies. Only he and Takami Sahashi were able to do this.

Sahashi Takami's expression turned somewhat unpleasant as she said, "Did you conduct other research behind my back?"

Mihiro crossed his legs and said, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket, that's common sense."

Sahashi Takami sighed. Biotechnology research itself violates ethics, even the most basic morality. In fact, the wagtails are not limited to the current number of feathers. If all the numbers are included, there are actually more than four hundred. This is only the number she knows, not counting those that she doesn't even know about.

The current feathers are the result of numerous experiments and are the remaining weaves, not the only weaves available at the beginning.

As for those discarded specimens, the vast majority had already died or mutated during the experiments. To be honest, in the brutal early stages of the experiments, although the wagtails themselves lacked self-awareness at that time, they were still living beings. If the experiments failed, death was a kind of relief. The vast majority of individuals who failed in the experiments were mutated into twisted monsters without self-awareness, only knowing how to destroy.

Takami Sahashi herself had such an experience. In her hands, a Sekirei mutated due to the failure of the previous experiment. She watched as the cute girl twisted into a writhing mass of flesh in a very short time. Numerous tentacles and eyes grew on this mass, emitting syllables similar to those of humans, but meaningless.

In the end, the lump of flesh was thrown into the incinerator and destroyed by the high temperature of over 3,000 degrees Celsius, but this incident became a psychological trauma that she could never forget for the rest of her life.

However, this seemingly comical white man had conducted countless similar experiments, wiping out at least four hundred wagtails. Now, only one official unit and a few side units remain. This illustrates the incredibly high failure rate and the terrifying consequences of such experiments. This white man gives the impression of a clown, but Sahashi Takami, who knows his true nature, knows he is a devil in disguise. If devils truly exist, perhaps someone like Mihiroto would be one of them.

With a grim expression, Sahashi Takami said, "Yu, do you know what you're doing? Someone like you, even if you die, will go to hell!"

With a mocking smile, Mihiro pushed up his glasses that had slipped off his nose and said, "History is always written by the victors, and after the Sekirei Project succeeds, I will become a god who reigns above emperors. As a god, even if there really is a hell, it will become a prison under my jurisdiction. How could I be imprisoned by a prison under my own jurisdiction?"

Mihiro looked to the other side and said with a smile, "Xia Lang-kun, I believe you will definitely stand firmly on my side, right?"

“That’s only natural,” said Natsumi Shinomiya, bowing slightly.

Sahashi Takami looked shocked; she hadn't expected that Nyanomiya Natsuro would completely back down.

"You... Nyanko, do you know what you're doing?" Takami Sahashi said in disbelief.

With his head slightly lowered, concealing his complex expression, Natsumi Shirou said, "Of course I know what I'm doing, and I'm very clear about my choice."

The reason why Ninomiya Natsuro chose to bow his head so readily was because Mihiro promised him that as long as the Sekirei Plan succeeded and he gained enough power, he would fulfill his wish and revive his lover.

Ninoya Natsuro was completely unable to refuse such conditions, so he no longer doubted the cruel plan implemented by Mihiro, since it involved his personal interests. Now, he chose to stand on the same side as Mihiro.

Sahashi Takami sighed. She knew she was powerless to change the current situation. Mihiro's people had mastered the technology and could bypass her to continue the plan. Therefore, if she wanted to protect those poor children as much as possible, she could only do so through a roundabout way.

Mihiro waved his hand and said, "Meeting adjourned. I will arrange for someone to deal with that mysterious enemy. Your job is to oversee the entire Sekirei game and collect enough emotional power for the core terminal."

"Yes!" Natsumi Karen replied solemnly.

On the other hand, Takami Sahashi felt disgusted, as if she had swallowed a fly, but she didn't want to reveal her purpose at this time. Reluctantly, she imitated Natsumi Nyanko and responded.

Unbeknownst to the three of them, the origami cranes on the ceiling of the conference room, invisible to the naked eye, had already seen the entire scene unfolding before them.

Chapter 4. Caught Red-Handed

Li Wei, who was reading in his room at this moment, showed subtle fluctuations in his originally calm expression.

Using paper cranes as a medium, he remotely used mind-reading to see the thoughts of the three people at the meeting. Sure enough, this world is different from the manga and anime versions. At least, the previous two versions of Hiroto were not as bastard as this counterpart.

Anyone with a normal moral compass would find it perfectly reasonable for Hiroto Miyamoto in this world to be dragged out and executed by slow slicing, or imprisoned in the Iron Maiden, for the crimes he committed.

Uranium Girl leaned over, climbed onto Li Wei's back, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said, "I'm so bored, Li Wei, let's play chess."

Li Wei said, "What's so fun about playing chess? I have something much more fun here. Do you want to play?"

"Oh? Is it some new game?" Uranium Girl asked with a curious expression.

"Tsk, what's chess compared to that? Go is interesting, but do you even know how to play? This is something much more exciting and fun than chess." Li Wei gave a knowing smile.

Uranium Girl swallowed hard, her face showing a mixture of anticipation and confusion, after all, it was something Li Wei had said was interesting.

Li Wei took out two computers and all the necessary equipment from his mind space and said, "Let me teach you what a real man's game is. Come on, click on this Yamaguchi icon, and you'll know the thrill of masturbation."

Uranium Girl had no idea what kind of "hell" awaited her.
