"Moreover, this meeting will most likely be related to my findings."
Sengoku Ryoma scratched his already messy hair; he had clearly just come from the laboratory.
"It seems to be a very important matter, otherwise the conglomerate would not have made such a fuss."
Guihu kept a straight face, hoping it wouldn't be bad news.
"Of course, what Zhanji Lingma discovered could hardly be a trivial matter."
The three pushed open the conference room door, and the dozen or so people inside immediately stopped talking and turned to look at them. After a moment, they casually looked away.
"Oh, it's Guihu. Please have a seat here."
When the old man sitting in the main seat saw Wu Daogui arrive, he smiled and waved, pointing to the second seat on his right.
Clearly, Wu Daoguihu was a high-ranking member of the leadership at today's meeting.
After Guihu and Zhanji Lingma took their seats, Youxing looked around but couldn't find his own seat, and he looked troubled.
Surely he can't possibly not even have a position? Are conglomerates really this unreliable?
"Your name is Haruno Yuuki, right? Come, have a seat. This seat was reserved for you."
The elderly man in the main seat noticed this and chuckled as he pointed to the first empty seat on his right.
Yu Xing looked at it and saw that there was no name written on it, as if it had been specially added.
"Come on, our consortium's only specially appointed advisor."
The old man was very kind, and Youxing stopped worrying and plopped down in the highest position, which aroused envy and jealousy from many people behind him.
One of them stood out in particular. Yu Xing glanced over and realized it was the same man in the suit who had stopped her with his car earlier.
Yuuki then smiled at him.
Looking at Youxing's smiling face, the man in the suit was so jealous that his eyes almost spit out blood.
How come this guy got to that position right away?!
He worked so hard for so long before he was finally able to sit at the table!
"Ahem, the meeting is now officially open."
But as the elderly man in the main seat announced it, he could only hide his resentment and turn to look at the screen behind the old man.
The screen displays today's meeting content: the possibility of Hel encroaching on the real world.
Chapter 34 What are you?
Apart from Yuuki and a few others, everyone else was surprised when they saw this topic.
The elderly man in the main seat took in everyone's expressions and remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking.
"Based on recent events and the latest research, the Foundation has decided to raise the danger level of Helheim from medium to extremely dangerous."
"Next, the principal investigator of this study will give you a detailed introduction."
Zhanji Lingma stood up, smiled slightly at those below, and began to recount the relevant information.
He listed the cases of conglomerate invasion and old university teaching building incidents one by one, until the conclusion was finally displayed on the big screen.
"Hel is invasive; it's not just that we want to explore that world, but that world is also constantly invading our world."
"According to our analysis, if we do not intervene, at the current rate, Hel will completely replace our world in just one year."
"Once the replacement is complete, the fruits of Helheim will be enough to turn most people into ferocious aliens in a short period of time, and the human world will completely collapse."
A year?!
After hearing Zhanji Lingma's report, everyone present changed their expressions and began to discuss among themselves.
The elderly man in the main seat looked at the chaotic meeting room, rubbed his temples, and a trace of weariness flashed in his eyes.
Most people's reactions were within his expectations; after all, he had also panicked when he first heard the news.
After waiting a moment, he patted the table, and the noisy crowd instantly quieted down, looking at the old man expectantly, hoping that he could offer some solution.
Nobody wants to turn the world upside down; they just want to maintain their current position.
The old man didn't speak. He glanced past most of the people whose faces were still flustered, and finally his gaze fell on the calm Wu Dao Gui Hu and You Xing.
What are your opinions?
He spoke softly, asking Yuuki and the other person.
This question drew everyone's attention.
Yuuki felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at. He had no idea what the solution was; he hadn't even solved his own problems yet.
So he decisively nudged Wu Daoguihu next to him, asking him to say a few words.
Wu Daogui did not disappoint Youxing's expectations; he stood up and took over the conversation.
"Everyone, my thought is that there is no need to worry too much. Whether the world is destroyed or not ultimately depends on what we do."
Instead of arguing here, let's take action first.
Guihu said a few words, but the people below remained restless.
"When it comes to an invasion from another world, who knows exactly what to do or how to do it?"
When someone raised a question, Guihu glanced over calmly, his sharp gaze silencing the person.
"If you can get results by asking here, then the invasion of another world won't be so difficult to solve."
Yu Xing, on the other hand, wasn't going to tolerate these people and directly confronted them.
"They're just putting on an act here, asking questions, but after the meeting, won't they just use their little bit of power to swagger around everywhere?"
"You're not really going to do something, are you?"
Yu Xing's few words made the man blush, but under the watchful eye of the old man in the main seat, he could only suppress his anger and sit back down.
"Tch, you don't even have the guts to argue back. Cowards can't save the world."
"What's the difference between this and garbage?"
Seeing this, Youxing became even more relentless, and the man's face turned a deep purplish-red after hearing it, almost to the point of exploding on the spot.
Seeing the man's expression, Wu Daogui gave Youxing a rather approving look.
"I didn't expect you to be able to argue with me all the time. I've been annoyed with those old men down there for a long time."
If Wu Daogui were capable of trash talk, he would have already launched into a tirade.
Yu Xing returned a knowing look.
His identity is unrelated to any faction within the conglomerate, and since he is an outsider, he is not afraid of being threatened.
If anyone threatens him, he'll teach them a lesson.
"Ahem, Consultant Yuanye, I think we should get back to the matter at hand."
Seeing that the man was about to explode with pent-up frustration, the elderly man in the main seat stopped watching the spectacle and quickly spoke up to persuade him.
Yu Xing had a good impression of the old man, so he gave up the idea of continuing to mock him.
He crossed his legs, his arrogant expression leaving the people below speechless with anger.
"Since no one can come up with a good solution, I have a compromise idea here. I wonder if anyone would like to hear it?"
Seeing that no one else would speak, the old man slowly began to speak.
"Commander Matsukura, please speak!"
As soon as the elderly man in the main seat spoke, the people below quickly echoed him.
Upon hearing the old man's position, Yuuki was somewhat surprised and looked at Wu Dao Guihu.
While everyone was agreeing, Guihu whispered to Youxing, "The fact that the conglomerate can grow to such a large size naturally means it has official support."
"And this person, who was reportedly promoted to Metropolitan Police Department Commissioner five years ago, no longer handles matters related to the Metropolitan Police Department."
"But I don't know why he was later transferred to our area to serve as a superintendent."
"I think the higher-ups were worried that the conglomerates would get out of control, so they specifically transferred him here to control them."
No wonder everyone is so attentive; this person must have a terrifyingly powerful background.
Yu Xing seemed to be deep in thought; he couldn't quite understand why this person was treating him so well.
"Quiet down, everyone."
After a long period of commotion, Matsukura Sadao felt somewhat helpless and had no choice but to slam his hand on the table again.
Only after complete silence did he begin to explain the solution: "Since the Battle Drive is currently the primary means of directly confronting the Invaders, the higher-ups have unanimously decided—"
He paused, a flicker of worry crossing his eyes, before continuing:
"Begin small-scale deployment of lock seeds and drivers to obtain sufficient driver data as soon as possible, thereby developing a more powerful driver to solve the problems caused by Helheim."
Upon hearing this news, some people's faces turned grim, but most breathed a sigh of relief.
"I agree with Commander Matsukura's proposed solution! We will definitely implement it!"
The man in the suit was the first to jump out, expressing his utmost loyalty.
Afterwards, most people echoed the man in the suit's words, but only Guihu and Youxing's eyes turned dangerous as they looked at him.
"So, is there anyone who objects?"
Matsukura Sadao didn't pay much attention to the man in the suit who jumped out; he focused his gaze on Yuuki.
Yuuki noticed Matsukura's gaze, met his eyes, and sensed a hint of expectation in them.
Although I don't quite understand why, no matter how Matsukura sees it, Yuuki is definitely against it.
He stood up abruptly, looked around, and said in a deep voice, "I object!"
His voice silenced everyone in the conference room, causing them all to pause in surprise.
The man in the suit seized the opportunity and jumped out to refute Youxing: "This is a decision from above! How could you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Youxing gave him a cold look, which made the man in the suit's voice immediately soften.
But he still stubbornly forced himself to meet Yuuki's gaze.
