Chapter 400 The Ultimate Memory: Shinkuro Isaka's Betrayal and Shotaro Hidari's Encounter

Late March 2010.

Inside the underground research base of Foundation X.

Under the watchful eyes of many researchers, the pattern automatically generated by Earth's memory on a circular memory object resembling the Earth itself slowly changed.

The pattern on the memory changed from Weather to Terror, and then to Joker.

Isaka Mikuro stared at the circular memory core with rapt attention, exclaiming in ecstasy, "It's finally born! The omniscient and omnipotent Memory!"

Not only can it directly connect to the Earth Library to search for anything that has ever happened on Earth, but it can also download any Earth memory and convert it into corresponding abilities. This is the most perfect memory.

He absolutely had to get his hands on such a perfect memory!

"Does using the abilities of other memory modules require switching the internal Earth memory? There's still room for improvement." Shen Yun pondered, watching the circular memory module constantly switching its internal Earth memory under the control of the instrument.

If it cannot use multiple capabilities simultaneously, this memory module cannot be called all-around.

"Weather!"

Shinkuro Isaka took out the Weather Memory and inserted it directly into his right ear. Accompanied by the scenes of wind, thunder, clouds and rain, Shinkuro Isaka transformed into a Weather Mixer.

After transforming into a weather hybrid, Isaka Shinkuro unleashed several bolts of red lightning at the crowd, which crackled and struck the floor, forcing everyone present to retreat.

"Isaka, what do you want to do?" Shen Yun took two steps back, squinted at Isaka Shinkuro who had become a weather-mixed entity, and asked in a cold voice.

"Is that even a question? Of course, I'll take this ultimate memory. Why do you think I'm helping you? It's all for this ultimate memory! Hahahaha!" Isaka Shinkuro laughed loudly, ripped the wires from the circular memory, and removed it from the device.

"Isaka, put the memory down," Shen Yun said coldly.

"Heh, what nonsense are you spouting? I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I will become the new emperor of Fuuto, hahaha!" The Weather Doppelganger sneered, raising his hand to unleash wisps of mist that enveloped his figure. Amidst the loud laughter of Isaka Shinkuro, the Weather Doppelganger vanished from everyone's sight.

"Tsk, I really underestimated Isaka Shinkuro's desire for memories." Shen Yun couldn't help but click his tongue as he watched the weather dopant disappear before his eyes.

I thought that Isaka Shinkuro would sneakily steal the memory, but I didn't expect him to be so impatient and just take it by force.

"Forget it, just keep a close eye on him." Shen Yun waved his hand, not bothering to argue with Isaka Shinkuro, who was helping him develop his memory and test combat data.

……

The Sonozaki family.

Sonozaki Ryubei looked at the middle-aged man before her, her eyes narrowing slightly behind her brown sunglasses, and said, "You want to join the Sonozaki family?"

"That's right!" Isaka Shinkuro nodded.

"What's your name? Have we met before?" Sonozaki Ryubei looked at Isaka Shinkurou's face and felt that he looked somewhat familiar.

Isaka Shinkuro's lips curled into a slight smile as he said, "We have indeed had contact. However, you're a very busy person, so it's quite normal that you don't remember someone as insignificant as me."

"You have quite the guts." Sonozaki Ryubei chuckled, stood up from the sofa, walked to the French windows, looked into the distance, and said in a completely calm tone, "However, do you think the Sonozaki family is so easy to enter?"

"I believe you will agree, as long as you still want to break free from the control of Zaibatsu X," Shinkuro Isaka said with a smile.

Sonozaki Ryubei suddenly turned around, and a dark glint suddenly appeared in his eyes behind his brown sunglasses. A terrifying aura emanated from him, pressing down on Isaka Shinkurou in front of him.

Despite the oppressive aura emanating from Sonozaki Ryuhei, Isaka Shinkurou's expression remained unchanged; however, his gaze towards Sonozaki Ryuhei intensified.

Is this the power of fear? He must take it!

Seeing that Isaka Shinkuro remained unmoved by her imposing presence, Sonozaki Ryubei also withdrew her aura and coldly said, "It seems you know quite a bit."

"Heh, I defected from the X Foundation." Isaka Shinkuro said bluntly.

"Oh? That certainly piques my curiosity." Upon hearing this, Sonozaki Ryubei also looked at Isaka Mikuro with interest, saying, "Why would a traitor from Zaibatsu X want to join my Sonozaki family?"

"Because I stole the ultimate memory that Foundation X had developed at great expense," said Shinkuro Isaka.

"So, you've come seeking refuge?" Ryubei Sonozaki asked.

"No, it's cooperation," Isaka Shinkuro said solemnly, shaking his head.

"Cooperate? What qualifications do you have to cooperate with me?"

"Because I am one of the developers of this ultimate memory, and no one in this world is more enthusiastic about supporting museums than me, Sonozaki-san." Isaka Mikuro took out the circular memory he had stolen, then tore open his collar to reveal several memory interfaces on his chest, and said with an extremely fanatical look in his eyes.

"This desire to unravel the mysteries of the Gaia Memory is the same for both you and me! Everything I've done is for the museum!"

Looking at the several memory interfaces on Isaka Mikuro's chest, Sonozaki Ryubei couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hahaha, you're quite something. Tell me your name."

"Isaka Mikuru."

"Isaka Shinkuro, is that it? Then you can stay here for now." Sonozaki Ryubei laughed a few times and walked out of the hall, leaving behind these words after brushing past Isaka Shinkuro.

……

"Oh? Isaka Mikuro joined the Sonozaki family? Heh, what a greedy fellow." Shen Yun couldn't help but chuckle as he listened to A2's report.

One of the reasons Isaka Mikuro joined the Sonozaki family was to unite the museum against the pursuit of the X Foundation.

On the other hand, it's probably because of the fear memory in Sonozaki Ryubei's possession.

"However, it's good that we've joined the Sonozaki family; this will prevent an imbalance of power between the two sides," Shen Yun said with a faint smile.

"What's the situation with Narumi Shokichi?" Shen Yun asked again.

"Narumi Shokichi is still secretly investigating the progress of the Omniscient Memory."

"Okay, keep the news under wraps for now. Once W has evolved to its limit, we can let Narumi Shokichi return to W's side," Shen Yun nodded and gave the order.

"Yes." A2 nodded.

A few days passed after Isaka Shinkuro stole the Omniscient and Omnipotent Memory.

This day, at the Narumi Detective Agency.

"Achoo~" Akiko Narumi sat at the coffee table, yawning repeatedly, looking very sleepy.

"Hey, Akiko, you look sleepy," said Shotaro Hidari, looking at Akiko Narumi who kept yawning.

"It's all because of this..." Akiko Narumi said, taking a stack of DVDs out of her bag.

"Heiji Kaze no Sae, Panic Avenger?" Philip leaned closer, looking at the title on the DVD and reading it aloud.

"Akiko-chan, you watch this show too? What do you think? It's really good, isn't it?" Sudo Kirihiko walked over and looked at the DVD that Narumi Akiko had placed on the table, and smiled.

"Yes, this drama is just as good as the rumors say. I watched it until morning without even realizing it. Shotaro-kun, I'm sure you'll like it too." Akiko Narumi nodded, turned to look at Shotaro Hidari, and said.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in period dramas. I'll fall asleep in five seconds," said Shotaro Sato, waving his hand dismissively.

Just then, a clear bell rang out inside the room.

Everyone inside the firm turned to look at the firm's main entrance.

A girl in a tutu, carrying a pink alarm clock, burst into the office, crying out for help, "Please help me, I can't sleep!"

Upon seeing the girl dressed like a princess, Shotaro's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked her up and down.

"In this situation, you shouldn't hire a detective; you should see a doctor," said Akiko Narumi.

"It's not like that anymore!" The girl saw Shotaro and quickly ran to him, grabbing his hand and saying in a sweet, coquettish voice, "I'm so scared, so scared I can't sleep~"

Shotaro, whose hand was being held by the beautiful girl, felt a surge of lust. He stepped forward and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

"Ring ring!"

The pink alarm clock in the girl's hand suddenly rang, startling Shotaro, who said, "You scared me."

"I set it to ring every 30 minutes because if I get caught by a monster in my dream, I'll never wake up again," the girl quickly explained.

"monster?"

"Yes." The girl nodded, took out a sketchbook, and said, "This is what happened."

The girl opened the picture book and recounted the events through the pictures in it.

"Six male students from the same university's graduate school were captured by a monster in their dream and never woke up again."

"So, the Dopant appeared in the dream?" Akiko Narumi asked, looking at the image of the dopant in the picture book.

"If this is true, it's really interesting. Being able to enter someone else's dream is so illogical," Philip said with a smile of interest.

"However, a dopant that can enter other people's dreams is quite troublesome." Sudo Kirihiko frowned slightly.

As a former senior executive of the X conglomerate, he knew it all too well.

Some special Gaia Memory, although not gold or silver, such advanced memory, have unique abilities that make such hybrids just as troublesome as advanced memory.

"Achoo~" The girl yawned softly, rubbing her temples with both hands, looking drowsy, and swayed as she said, "I haven't been able to sleep well for days."

Before she could finish speaking, she fell asleep without warning and fell backward.

Upon seeing this, Shotaro immediately came to the girl's side, hugged her, and looked at her, saying, "Please don't worry, I will definitely protect you."

Upon hearing this, the girl excitedly hugged Shotaro's neck and exclaimed, "Could it be that you are my destined prince charming?"

"Prince Charming?" Shotaro Sakata grinned crookedly.

"How frivolous." Akiko Narumi looked at the girl hugging Shotaro Hidari, a rare look of disgust on her face.

Perhaps this is a woman's instinctive aversion to green tea.

Seeing Shotaro's silly grin, Akiko Narumi took out her slippers and smacked him.

"Ouch, that hurts!" Shotaro instantly snapped back to reality and glared at Akiko Narumi with displeasure.

"Please, please!"

"Oh, oh, oh." Shotaro finally realized what was happening, pushed away the girl who was hugging him, and asked, "Can you take us to the scene?"

"Sure."

After packing their things, the group went to Fengdu University with the girl.

"The client is named Yukimura Himeka. She is as beautiful as Snow White and is conducting research on dreams at this university."

"Fuuto University, I really miss it..." Sudo Kirihiko looked at the stone monument in front of him with Fuuto University inscribed on it with nostalgia.

Before he knew it, he had graduated from Fengdu University for many years.

Even after he became the head of the X-Fūto district of the conglomerate, he managed to secure a spot as an outstanding alumnus in the alumni association.

"What are you reminiscing about?" Shotaro asked, looking at Kirihiko Sudo with a puzzled expression.

"Didn't I tell you? I'm an outstanding graduate of Fuuto University. And Yukie is also a university student at Fuuto University," Sudo Kirihiko said with a smile.

"Wow, you're my senior!" Yukimura Himeka exclaimed excitedly.

"Shotaro-kun, speaking of which, you only graduated from high school, right?" Akiko Narumi said, turning to Shotaro Hidari and teasing him.

"Because after I graduated from high school, I became Ou Ya-san's assistant and helped him with his cases," Shotaro Sa said proudly.

The group chatted and laughed as they arrived at a research lab.

The sign on the door of this research lab reads "Akagi Brain Science Research Lab".

"Here?" Shotaro asked.

"Yes." Yukimura Himeka nodded and pushed open the door to the research lab, letting Shotaro and the others in.

As soon as they entered the research room, they heard a commotion.

"Professor Akagi, do you think that your device can allow different people to have the same dream? Or, to allow one person to enter another person's dream?"

"This is indeed a topic worth studying. If we can synchronize the brainwaves of both parties, we might be able to enter the same person's dream," Professor Akagi replied.

At this moment, the commotion of Shotaro and his group pushing open the door also attracted the attention of Shen Yun and Professor Akagi.

Upon seeing the arrival of Shotaro and the others, Shen Yun smiled slightly, looked at Professor Akagi, and said, "I have gained a lot from this conversation with Professor Akagi. I won't disturb Professor Akagi's entertaining of guests any longer. I will come to bother you again next time."

"Okay." Professor Akagi nodded.

Upon hearing Shen Yun's voice, Sudo Kirihiko's expression changed slightly, becoming somewhat complex. He said softly, "Boss..."

When Zuo Xiangtaro saw A2 standing behind Shen Yun, he was first greatly amazed. Then, the more he looked, the more familiar A2 and Shen Yun seemed, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

Long-buried memories surged in Shotaro's mind, prompting him to recall them.

"Ah! You're the uncle from back then?! So many years have passed, how come you haven't changed at all?" Zuo Xiangtaro exclaimed in astonishment when he saw Shen Yun, who hadn't changed at all.

"You actually still remember me?" Shen Yun looked at Zuo Xiangtaro with interest and said.

"Of course. Back then, it was Uncle who guided me, which enabled me to successfully become his apprentice. Moreover, Uncle left a very deep impression on me at the opera house back then, I can't forget it even if I wanted to." Shotaro said with an envious look.

He's not even surrounded by beauties anymore, let alone surrounded by them.

"Heh, you're not bad either, you've gone from a third of a half-baked person to a half-baked person." Shen Yun looked at Zuo Xiangtaro and laughed.

"A third of a half? What the hell?! That's hilarious!" Upon hearing this, Akiko Narumi immediately pointed at Shotaro Hidari's nose and began to mock him vehemently.

Seeing Shotaro and Shen Yun reminiscing made Kirihiko Sudo, who was standing to the side, somewhat confused.

What's going on?
