Mygo, New Tokyo Black Girl

"Welcome back, Timor Niyang III."

"Please forgive me for keeping you waiting, Miss Oblivionis." Hachiman Kailing bowed slightly.

Sometimes, even Hachiman Kailing, who uses the code name "Timoris", a variant Latin word with the connotation of "fear", can't help but feel genuine fear towards the new boss she has just started working for.

Even though Hachiman Kailing herself has completed the awakening of her mental image, and is fully capable of adapting to her own mental image [Fallen Entropy] with her extraordinary talent, she possesses extraordinary power.

Even so, Hachiman Kailing still pays enough respect to Ms. "Oblivionis", who is now living in a laboratory in a corner of the city like a harmless gladiolus.

This respect is not entirely based on the social and work-related respect for the leader of a team based on his or her status and responsibilities within the team.

It is not just a matter of awe as a mind awakener for another mind awakener who possesses exceptionally powerful mind power.

Hachiman Kailing's reverence for "Oblivionis" also has that kind of...

It's like facing a "god", a kind of reverence that only true believers can have.

In fact, the reasons for this situation are quite complicated.

If any explanation is needed, it starts with the virtual reality devices that "Oblivionis" Shoko Toyokawa previously sold to the public in New Tokyo through "TGW Bussan".

Those virtual reality devices that seem to belong to advanced technology, in fact, each one has been baptized by Shoko Toyokawa's mental image [Ode to All Things].

Even if it does not have the ability to retain the power of mental imagery, this kind of product is still a "black box product" with complete functions that can only be produced with the participation of Toyokawa Shoko, an awakened mental imager. It is a product that cannot be technically realized without mental imagery.

Of course, Toyokawa Shoko did not create this product simply to sell it for money.

This product, which was finally created through the power of mental imagery combined with confidential technology, is circulated in the market, popularized, and entered the homes of many people in New Tokyo, allowing more people to use this product. This is the arrangement and planning of Shoko Toyokawa for this virtual reality equipment.

In fact, regarding this matter, as the leader of the secret society "Oblivionis" formed in the underground laboratory, Toyokawa Shoko had explained it in detail to several mind awakeners she had recruited.

It is precisely because of this explanation of the plan that "Timoris" Hachiman Kailing can truly understand the current state of the leader "Oblivionis".

And, have a deeper understanding of the rapid development of one's own mental images.

The essence of the "Real Theater" project represented by these virtual reality devices is actually very similar to the "Burning City" that was previously born in the harbor area.

Both projects are about promoting and shaping the “collective mental image”.

It was precisely because "Oblivionis" Toyokawa Shoko sent "Mortis" Wakaba Mutsu to complete the collection of various data and phenomena on the burning city during the last burning city incident that this new project "Real Theater" was able to be truly completed at such a fast speed.

"I really have to thank those guys who facilitated the incident in the harbor district." Toyokawa Shoko commented on those people with a hint of sarcasm.

Only this kind of horrific experiment that disregards social livelihoods, breaks the moral bottom line, and turns an entire city into purgatory can quickly complete the rapid exploration of the "mental potential" of the people of New Tokyo.

Previously, Shoko Toyokawa had thought that her own team would defeat the sinful Burning Harbor City. However, after rescuing a person with good potential for mental imagery from the harbor area, she was unable to lead her team to the harbor area immediately in order to treat him and test the equipment that could promote mental imagery awakening.

However, it didn't take long for Shoko Toyokawa to hear the news that the fire in the harbor area had been put out, and learned that someone had burned down the harbor.

Compared with the Burning City's method of using fanatical religious beliefs to shape consensus and construct collective mental images.

The Theatre of Reality project takes a softer approach.

That is, to complete the construction of common imagination among people through a virtual "second world".

Then, by linking their own image with this "second world", people who use this device will subconsciously bind the image of Shoko Toyokawa with this "real theater".

The above are roughly the reasons why this "Real Theater" can work.

As for why this construction was completed...

Of course, it is because the people of New Tokyo have lived in the "dream" for a long time. Even though the "dream" in the New Tokyo area can no longer play any role in promoting the awakening of the mind, it still allows the people of New Tokyo to have stronger bodies than ordinary people in the outside world.

Also, although ordinary New Tokyo residents do not have the ability to complete the awakening of the mind, they do have the potential to become part of a "collective mind."

Shoko Toyokawa built a new collective mental image network by using virtual reality equipment created with the help of her own mental images.

As the core of this mental image network, Shoko Toyokawa can control the powerful force brought by the collective mental image.

Use this power to transcend the shackles of personal imagery.

For those who are in the mental network of "Real Theater", "Oblivionis" as the core can indeed be regarded as a "god" that is fascinating.

New Tokyo Elegy: Chapter 195: Big News in New Tokyo

The girl in the white coat pointed to the seat in front of her and motioned "Timoris" Hachiman Kailing to sit down and talk.

"How's things going at the amusement park?" Accompanied by some electronic music, the voice of "Oblivionis" reached Hachiman Kailing's ears.

This kind of electronic music is certainly not a sound that a normal person's voice can naturally produce.

In fact, this is actually a manifestation of Miss "Oblivionis"'s insufficient control over the power of her own mental imagery, so that this body can burst out with powerful electric currents at any time.

All "Oblivionis" needs to do is focus his attention on someone, and this electric storm will immediately sweep through the body of that person.

This is a minor side effect of shaping and integrating collective mental images and strengthening the power of one's own mental images to an inhuman level.

Of course, this side effect of causing others to experience a slight electric shock pain when facing you is not completely uncontrollable.

However, "Oblivionis" Toyokawa Shoko deliberately allowed this situation to occur, which would cause minor harm to several of his own awakened mind images.

This is based on some... what might be called somewhat dark ideas.

Shoko Toyokawa was trained as the heir to the Toyokawa family, a powerful underworld family.

In this kind of successor training course, Toyokawa Shoko once learned the following knowledge:

Being able to regularly carry out some small disciplinary actions is not a bad thing when managing a subordinate who has accepted enough favors from you.

After showing enough prospects and giving people in the team a certain degree of benefits, you must also establish the authority of the leader through getting along with others, and use various methods to make the other party show a "tamed" attitude towards you.

Although the outburst of her mental power would cause physical sensory pain to other people in the team, it was not Shoko Toyokawa's intention to use her mental power to stimulate the "puppets" under her command.

But…why not?

Although there are many other ways to establish one's prestige, since there is now a situation that can make the people in one's team tremble in fear in a physical sense just by seeing oneself...

Shoko Toyokawa believes that there is no need to impose too many restrictions on such matters.

Especially for the two newcomers he had recently recruited into the "Puppet Group".

"Timoris" Hachiman Kaisuzu and "Amoris" Yutenji Wakamugi.

To be honest, Shoko Toyokawa didn't have much trust in the two mind awakeners in the team because they hadn't experienced the life-and-death ordeal together.

Just looking at someone is enough to send an electric current through their body. For the "Oblivionis" Toyokawa Shoko, this is both an indulgence of his somewhat out-of-control mental power and a simple way to get the other person used to being in awe of him.

It has to be said that after going through many things, Toyokawa Shoko's style as a leader has indeed changed.

He changed from a confident gang leader and planner to a tyrant who wanted to whip Yu Nei into submission.

As "Oblivionis" Shoko Toyokawa asked about the progress of the information-gathering mission sent to Gunfire Paradise, the current that had been flowing involuntarily in the area according to Miss "Oblivionis"'s thoughts also slowed down.

"Timoris" Hachiman Hailing felt the numbness in her body gradually dissipate, and immediately completed her report on this operation in her usual calm and composed tone:

"Gunfire Paradise does have traces of biochemical projects, and it can be assumed that they are closely connected to the Parasol Life Science Group...

"Regarding the overall layout of the amusement park observed from above, the following suspicious building locations exist..."

"Timoris" Hachiman Kailing reported the information she collected during her trip to Gunfire Paradise in an orderly manner at a moderate pace.

I have to say that as a "bass", Hai Ling does have a very outstanding professional level.

This time, the report on the operation was clear and organized, and it was able to take into account those small doubts that ordinary people would hardly notice. It categorized the important and unimportant information and reported them clearly to the leader of the puppet group he was currently working for.

"Very good." As the person who listened to the report, "Oblivionis" Toyokawa Shoko did not hesitate to express her affirmation and praise for the other party's outstanding business level.

"Hai Ling, you did a great job this time. The information you obtained from this investigation can point us towards a clearer path for the upcoming major event."

Shoko Toyokawa did not call the other party by the code name in the team, but directly called out the real name of the puppet group "Beth".

This is a sign that Ms. "Oblivionis" is very satisfied with the smooth progress of the other party's work.

"It's my honor." Hachiman Kailing also responded to the praise of her loyalists with sincerity.

"Also, I met an acquaintance in Gunfire Paradise, it's... Riki-san." Hachiman Kailing said.

"Oh?" Toyokawa Shoko was a little surprised and chuckled in response, "Did you go with her to play a few more rides?"

Toyokawa Shoko has conducted considerable research and understanding on the members of her team, and the information that Hachiman Kairin and Shiina Riki are close friends naturally did not escape her eyes.

Therefore, Toyokawa Shoko asked Hailing about this matter in a close friend's tone, following Hailing's words.

"Ms. Lixi already had another companion. I just rode the Ferris wheel with her."

----

In a buffet restaurant with a wide variety of food and a good reputation nearby, the five members of the Lost Group were holding their plates and picking up their favorite food from different places.

Chihaya Aine picked up pieces of the smoked salmon and put them onto her plate.

And then, Aine returned to the seats that the five of them had reserved, carrying a tray full of food.

Since the other four people were still choosing their favorite foods elsewhere, Aine decided to wait until all five of them returned to the table before starting to eat.

Aine opened her phone and browsed the current affairs news.

The hottest news headline at the moment is: "New Tokyo election is about to begin"

New Beijing Elegy: Chapter 196: Meals for the Lost Children

"Big news!" Chihaya Aine was sharing current affairs news with her friends at the dinner table.

"What's wrong?" The first person to come to the dining table with a plate of vegetable macaroni was Nagasaki Suyo. Compared to Aine who just took a large plate of smoked salmon and started eating, Suyo still paid attention to the diet.

Su Shi, who is more accustomed to eating foods with simpler flavors, put together a food combination that looked very bland on his plate.

Compared to Aine who eats smoked fish alone, perhaps Sushi's food combination is another form of picky eating?

However, it is a buffet restaurant after all, so being able to enjoy your favorite food is completely sufficient.

Ain chose a buffet restaurant for the five members of the Lost Group so that everyone in the team could freely choose what they like.

If they deliberately chose the more expensive items simply because it was a fixed-price buffet, or if they were hoping to "earn their money back in one sitting," it would be a loss for the money-conscious Lost Child group. Nagasaki Suyo picked up her fork and placed a small piece of vegetable macaroni in her mouth, chewing it carefully while glancing at Chihaya Aine, hoping to hear her latest news.

Chihaya Aine has always liked to share all kinds of fresh and interesting stories, although sometimes this behavior makes Aine look a little noisy.

"Suyo! The next election in New Tokyo is about to begin!" Chihaya Aine said this in a slightly excited tone.

"Oh, so what?" Nagasaki Suyo was a little confused. What could the election of the New Tokyo Council and the governor have to do with gang members like them who mingled in the city?

Chihaya Aine, however, looked very excited and said, "Sushi, what do you think about me running for a seat in parliament?"

Nagasaki Suyo raised an eyebrow and replied, "Aine-chan, you're not even old enough to run for election... Minors can't run for election at all."

Chihaya Aine's excitement suddenly waned, and she kept muttering, "That's right."

Nagasaki Suyo was no longer surprised by Aine's sudden inspiration and funny behavior. She smiled lightly and continued to focus on the food in front of her.

The third member of the Lost Child group to return to her seat was Tatsuki Shiina. The first dish she picked up was almond tofu, a rather exquisite specialty dessert.

Almond tofu is mainly made by grinding sweet almonds into a pulp, adding water and boiling it, then freezing and solidifying it and cutting it into pieces. It gets its name from its tofu-like shape.

The hot summer weather inevitably makes people have a slight loss of appetite. This cool and sweet pre-dinner dessert can just whet your appetite before a full dinner.

Moreover, almond tofu is a dessert that is a personal favorite of Shiina Riki, so it is best to enjoy it in a buffet setting like this.

In addition to almond tofu, Shiina Riki also got some fried mushrooms and konjac noodles - in fact, Shiina Riki used to hate these two foods.

It’s not that Shiina Riki doesn’t like to eat these two things.

Shiina Riki is basically not picky about food, and it is precisely because of this non-picky eating habit that he has been able to develop an outstandingly strong physique among his peers.

Li Xi hates shiitake mushrooms and konjac noodles mainly because he has been teased by people using the names of these two foods before.

The romanization pronunciations of these two foods are close to the syllables of "Shiina Riki", and Shiina Riki herself particularly dislikes people making jokes about her name, so she also dislikes these two foods.

Of course, Lixi feels much better now.

After all, there are two guys in the team that Riki is in now who like to call Shiina Riki the nickname "Riki".

To the extent that Shiina Riki has become completely desensitized to these two foods.

Alas, compared to those classmates who cannot be called acquaintances, it is indeed more acceptable for this companion who has shared life and death to be nicknamed Lixi by Lixi.

After all, people have some double standards.

If those who have nothing to do with Shiina Riki make fun of Riki's name, Riki will make sure that they will be punched twice by him first.

As for the companions in the Lost Group... Shiina Riki has now become accustomed to the rather funny name "Rinki".

By the way, even mushrooms and konjac noodles are acceptable.

Shiina Riki sat down at the dining table and started eating the food on his plate.
