However, if this is done, the real "driving force" behind this incident will still be able to get away with it.

Even if the arsonists are severely punished, the root cause of the crime cannot be touched.

Moreover, in essence, the five members of the Lost Group investigated this matter in order to find the mastermind behind it and reveal the truth, so that Lenai could track down those who murdered her grandmother.

Considering the extent of involvement of the five members of the Lost Group in the Harbor District incident, even if the other four people except Yao Lenai had no intention of helping Yao Lenai to seek revenge, they could not stay out of this turmoil.

After all, the five members of the Lost Group can be said to have truly ruined this Burnt City conspiracy, and directly killed the Lord of the Burnt City, who was the core of the collective mental image.

This behavior alone is enough to make the person behind the scenes regard these five girls with telepathic abilities as thorns in his eyes and thorns in his flesh, and he must get rid of them as soon as possible.

Compared to exposing these executive-level arsonists to the public and venting one's anger, it is obviously more important to track down and expose the person behind the conspiracy to burn the city.

Therefore, after completing the investigation of the Emergency Management Bureau Fire Department, Chihaya Aine had nothing else to do.

Compared to this kind of social engineering action that can easily and quickly achieve results, it is obviously more difficult to track the mastermind behind the scenes with the information currently available.

One direction is to start with the chemical products used in the arson, and trace back from the supply chain and sales channels of these chemical products to the suppliers who provided this dangerous goods.

However, this aspect is not Chihaya Aine's area of ​​expertise.

Even if Chihaya Aine could become a famous antiquities thief in London on her own, she could not be said to have any knowledge of product sales and logistics.

Therefore, Chihaya Aine can't be of much help in this further investigation.

In this regard, three other members of the Lost Child group are also like this.

Shiina Tatsuki, Takamatsu Touma, and Kaname Rakuna also have very limited knowledge in this area.

Therefore, the recent investigation work of the Lost Child Group basically depends on the performance of Nagasaki Motoyo alone.

Fortunately, this matter was not difficult for Nagasaki Suyo. She only needed to use the experience she had accumulated in Nagasaki Industry to trace the nitrocellulose products and check the connection between the insurance companies that had withdrawn insurance in the port area and the suppliers of chemical products that could be used as combustibles.

This task was not difficult for Nagasaki Suyo, but it took a lot of time and was relatively complicated.

That is to say, during this period of time, the other four members of the Lost Group had nothing special to do.

Chihaya Aine also had some free time during this period of time.

However, there is nothing wrong with taking some time off.

Although you may not be able to see it, the main job of the five members of the Lost Group is actually to complete their studies as high school students!

Chihaya Aine has been studying hard in the classroom these days, focusing on her task of improving her grade deviation as a student who can achieve excellent academic results.

Today, when Chihaya Aine was reviewing the course content for the next week after class, she heard the classmates in the classroom who were more interested in emerging technology products excitedly discussing the latest smart devices.

Chihaya Aine couldn't help but distract herself from the textbook and listened to the news as if it were a piece of gossip.

"Have you heard? Real virtual reality games are coming soon. They're said to be incredibly realistic and completely immersive!"

"Huh? Really?"

"Yes, it's said that this game uses the latest neural interface technology, which can directly synchronize with the brain's neural signals and suppress the brain's perception of the real world, completely immersing people in that brand new world!"

Chihaya Aine's heart moved, and she stopped looking at the textbook and focused her attention completely on the classmates who were discussing this matter.

“Those invited to join the pilot test were full of praise for the feeling of having experienced a real adventure afterward!”

"So amazing! Which giant company developed it?"

"That... didn't seem to be very famous before. It was called... TGW Products."

New Beijing Elegy: Chapter 175: Entering into the Delusion of Names and Appearances

Chihaya Aine walked towards the classmates who were discussing the latest news in the field of science and technology and asked them:

"What? Tell me about it too."

This kind of outgoing behavior is difficult for many people to do, but she is Chihaya Aine.

Chihaya Aine Yin Lingyi Qishi Wu Ju (IV) Jiula is also considered to be the most popular one in the class. After all, he is sunny and optimistic and is good at communicating with others.

Therefore, these students who were discussing happily did not pay attention to Chihaya Aine's sudden interruption.

Instead, these girls in the same class happily started sharing with Chihaya Aine the latest news they had just learned today:

This company called "TGW Commodities" actually announced in a high-profile manner that it had successfully developed a new immersive gaming device.

We have also developed new games that can run on virtual reality devices!

No, rather than saying it is a brand new game, it is better to say it is a real "second world" that allows people to roam freely.

"Well... the name is rather strange, something like 'Real Theater'." The girl who paid the most attention to this emerging news said to Chihaya Aine.

Sounds like something out of a movie, an immersive gaming world?

Can it really make people feel another reality?

Chihaya Aine felt a little bit unbelievable.

However, Chihaya Aine has experienced too many strange and dramatic things in recent times.

The emergence of this reality, which can be simply called "expanding the worldview", can be regarded as normal for her.

Moreover, it was not only this kind of breakthrough in the latest science and technology that caught Chihaya Aine's attention in the conversation of these classmates.

The name of this company claiming to have developed the latest virtual reality technology was enough to attract Chihaya Aine's attention.

This company... Chihaya Aine blinked.

Chihaya Aine quickly used her excellent memory to recall where she had seen this company that had suddenly advertised that it had developed a groundbreaking technological product.

This was the sponsor of the last practical exam at Hanegaoka Academy.

It was also a company that Chihaya Aine had heard of and was mentioned by Nagasaki Motoyo and Takamatsu Touma.

Nagasaki Suyo once mentioned that TGW Bussan was founded by Toyokawa Shoko and is still controlled by her.

'Shoko is so amazing...' Chihaya Aine recalled the face-to-face communication she had with Toyokawa Shoko during the practical test.

From that meeting, Chihaya Aine already knew that Toyokawa Shoko was an equally powerful mind-awakener.

I didn't expect that I would hear news about her again in this way in class today.

Although ordinary students would not be able to quickly associate such news that was enough to shock the entire New Tokyo with an ordinary high school student.

However, Chihaya Aine was on good terms with several people who had previously formed a gang with Toyokawa Shoko, so she was able to connect the pieces of information together immediately.

Chihaya Aine couldn't help but have some new associations.

"And this company's promotional video is so fun, interesting and hilarious. It was even filmed by a super famous blogger!"

As the classmate said this, he took out his mobile phone and opened the promotional video for virtual reality.

Moreover, at the end of the promotional video, Chihaya Aine also saw a short and interesting interpretation of the company's name.

Chihaya Aine looked back and found that although Takamatsu Deng was still sitting in her seat, her eyes were looking over here, and she seemed to be quite concerned about this news.

"Also, devices that can connect to virtual reality are already on sale!" Chihaya Aine heard the classmate say this.

This……

Chihaya Aine inexplicably felt that something was a little strange.

However, Chihaya Aine couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

Of course, this unfounded doubt was quickly put behind her by Chihaya Aine.

Chihaya Aine quickly returned to her seat and talked to Takamatsu Deng about the news she had just heard, as well as the promotional video that looked quite interesting and had a very famous actor as the promotional ambassador.

However, Chihaya Aine discovered that although Takamatsu Deng was quite concerned about this matter, he did not seem to care much about such bizarre technological breakthroughs and new technological products.

It's just that this incident seems to have some connection with the person "Toyokawa Shoko".

When Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Tomoe were explaining what it would be like to use this virtual reality device, Takamatsu Tomoe didn't seem to care at all.

However, Chihaya Aion quite liked the promotional video of this product and the clip at the end where the actor performed strange movements to interpret the company name, which Chihaya Aion found very interesting.

So, Chihaya Aine imitated this scene to Deng Deng in front of Takamatsu Deng.

First, place your right hand flat, and then place your left hand upright on the right palm.

This creates a "T" shape.

Then, Chihaya Aine began to imitate the actor's movements, bending the fingers of her right hand into an arc shape and bending the fingers of her left hand at a right angle.

This will create the shape of the letter "G".

Then open your palms, put your thumbs together, and spread the other four fingers naturally like the wings of a flying bird.

This is the shape of the letter "W"!

While making the shape of the letters with your hands, have a happy smile on your face and say:

"ToGaWa..."

Then, Chihaya Aine opened and closed her palms as if turning into wings and raised them upwards.

It's like imitating the flapping of a bird's wings.

"group~" Chihaya Aine used a chanting tone, imitating the actor's voice, and said the complete English words in the promotional video.

These words together spell out the company's name in a cheerful tone: TGW Commodities.

Because of the general tone of the last part, the final "group" sounds more vivid than the normal pronunciation, and it sounds like "gurgle".

Chihaya Aine really likes the last part of this advertisement.

After watching Chihaya Aine's wonderful imitation performance, Takamatsu Deng didn't particularly feel the same way that Aine liked this advertising slogan.

Therefore, Takamatsu Deng did not agree with Aine's performance, but looked away.

"Deng Deng, why don't we buy some helmets too?" Chihaya Aine suggested to Takamatsu Deng.

New Beijing Elegy: Chapter 176: Become Yourself

Surprisingly, purchasing this new technological product went very smoothly.

It seems that TGW Commodities Company has taken deliberate measures to avoid the situation where the product is snatched up during the sale or scalpers and second-hand dealers profit by hoarding this brand new product.

Customers who come to the store to purchase this new virtual reality device must present and enter their identification and biometrics, and complete iris and fingerprint authentication.

Only after completing this rather complicated procedure will each person be allowed to purchase a limited number of machines.

This strict measure of restricting sales at the first moment of release has indeed effectively curbed the behavior of those who attempt to buy such products, hoard them, and seek profits from resale.

Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Touma came to a store near the school together.

This was originally a shop that had gone bankrupt and was looking for tenants. It was originally a specialty store selling a mobile phone brand that had gone bankrupt.

After being announced as the store specializing in this new virtual reality device, the shop, which was previously deserted, was simply renovated and replaced with a new main product, and it immediately became crowded.

Of course, this is understandable. Any store that can operate normally will experience a peak in sales when selling such epoch-making products at first glance.

When Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Deng went to fill in their personal information and enter their biometric information, a salesperson in formal attire came up to them and said in a surprised tone:

"Congratulations, both of you! You are the 9,999th and 10,000th customers in this sales event, and you will receive two deluxe collector's edition machines for free!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the attention of almost half of the customers in the store was drawn over, while the other half did not notice what was happening here because of the large crowds and noise.

Just like that, at the bustling sales site, Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Touma were given two brand new sets of virtual reality helmets that were said to be extremely realistic.

"Wow, today must be our lucky day!" Chihaya Aine felt a real joy and satisfaction at this sudden lucky moment.

In this way, Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Deng carried two bags filled with these new high-tech equipment and came to RING, the room where the Lost Group usually gathered.

A private meeting room for the five members of the Lost Group.

It was still early, and the other three members of the Lost Group, Liuliu Emu (Er) Shan④ba Ba Si, had not yet arrived in the meeting room.

Moreover, the Lost Children's Group didn't have any joint activities today, so Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Touma both had some free time.

"Deng Deng, why don't we try it here now?" Chihaya Aine suggested to Takamatsu Deng.

It just so happened that this conference room was also the private space for the five members of the Lost Group. After getting this novelty, Chihaya Aine naturally wanted to use this magical product right away.

Chihaya Aine was very curious, was this so-called virtual reality helmet really as magical as the advertisements claimed...

As for Deng Takamatsu, after arriving here, she had already unpacked the outer packaging of her virtual reality helmet, took out the helmet and the power adapter cable used to provide energy to the helmet, and was already stroking the exquisite surface of the instrument with beautiful design.

Gao Songdeng seems to be particularly fond of things that are bright in appearance and relatively round.

However, as far as the function of this helmet itself is concerned, being obsessed with its beautiful appearance is a typical case of buying the box and returning the pearl.
