Kill them in Cyberman!

"Thank you, Mr. Albert."

Yoel, who was surprisingly easy to please, took the pendant and put it around his neck on the spot.

"Hey, don't be so easily bribed by this bastard!"

Seeing that Yoel was not going to change his mind, Lucy had no choice but to snatch the pendant from Albert's hand. "Don't think that this will suffice..."

"High energy matter reaction detected."

Before Tsundere could finish her speech, Lucy looked at the pendant in shock.

"What……"

Lucy picked up the pendant and began to observe it herself. Although Eros's perception system was damaged, he could definitely detect it at such a close distance!

And why didn't it react when it was in Albert's hands, but when it came to me...

"Unable to analyze?"

"What the hell is this?"

Lucy frowned and looked at Albert. Where on earth did Albert get this thing? You know, her system can even analyze the energy frequencies of those monsters and demons, but now a pendant is full of question marks except for one with high-energy reaction.

Albert leaned close to Lucy's ear and whispered, "The manufacturing principle is similar to the sword you saw before~"

Lucy's mind suddenly flashed with the dagger that Albert had used out of thin air to pierce Tomie.

"you……"

"Take it well."

"Um……"

Finally she gave in and Lucy held the pendant tightly with her remaining left hand.

……

At the private airport of the Shinomiya Group in Tokyo, Albert watched the plane gradually disappearing into the clouds, wondering what he was thinking.

"You can actually go back with them..."

"I don't want to admit it, but I'm already yours..."

Shinomiya Kaguya walked over, and the two stood side by side, looking into the distance at the sunset sky.

"Didn't we make an agreement?"

"We're going to watch the fireworks together, so it's okay to stay a little longer."

Albert replied calmly.

"Yes, yes, we'll also watch the fireworks display together..."

Shinomiya Kaguya murmured Albert's words, and seemed to have thought of something. She quietly reached out her hand from her kimono, came to Albert's hand, and gently shook it a few times.

For some reason, at this point, when she truly examined their relationship from an unprecedented perspective, Shinomiya Kaguya felt shy.

This feeling of tension, which I haven't experienced in many years, crawled all over my body like ants, and my flawless face was slightly flushed.

After experiencing the baptism of death and rebirth, have you really let go?

Shinomiya Kaguya didn't know, and no one could give her an answer.

“What is Albert looking at?”

This thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and Kaguya Shinomiya followed his gaze.

They are a group of birds flying from the mountains, soaring freely in the clouds. As the afterglow of the setting sun falls, they become lonely shadows on the horizon.

……

Xinjing, the old capital of Japan, is still a prosperous city second only to Tokyo.

Deep inside the palace of Amaterasu Palace, which is as famous as Tsukuyomi Palace

"She's out of our control!"

"That Hermes brat definitely did something damn good!"

"Whether she has controlled that brat or they have reached some kind of cooperation, it is a very unfavorable situation for us!"

"No, absolutely not! We must strike first!"

In a hall filled with modern technology and classical architecture, a man dressed in Japanese religious priest clothing was kneeling on the ground. He had a strange mask of a god on his face, and his features could not be seen clearly.

The sound came from the several blue projection screens rising in front of him. These people, whose faces could not be seen clearly, were the behind-the-scenes rulers of the country of Japan, the old guys and termites in Kaguya Shinomiya's mouth.

These people were discussing fiercely, and their target was Kaguya Shinomiya.

Although they may not know what Kaguya Shinomiya has experienced, they are definitely aware of her current situation.

"She has released the seal of Tokyo and started capturing those spiritual creatures to conduct independent experiments. Don't you guys understand what she is planning to do?"

"Yes, Shuten-douji has been captured. Who's next?"

"Ibaraki Douji from Osaka Prefecture? Or Tamamonomae from Mount Fuji? Or..."

"Don't even mention that. If she gets hold of all these seals, we won't be able to stop her!"

"Well, now that things have come to this, if you still don't argue, won't that give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage?"

Finally, perhaps unable to bear the people's market-like shouting, the priest spoke.

"Since Shuten Douji has been captured by Shinomiya Kaguya, we must act as soon as possible. I will calculate the time when the seal is vulnerable. You should arrange to act as soon as possible. We cannot afford to make any mistakes!"

Chapter 80 Fireworks and You

In the week after resolving the conflict between the two parties and seeing off Lucy and Joel, Albert truly spent a relaxing vacation in Tokyo.

There was no murder party, no underground nuclear bomb, and no kidnapping of beautiful girls. Everything was so calm.

But Kaguya Shinomiya's behavior was a bit strange. During this week, the two of them rarely met alone. She repeatedly rejected Albert's invitations to be close and hid in her private office on the pretext of dealing with backlogs of work.

Albert felt that Kaguya Shinomiya seemed to be deliberately avoiding him, but of course this did not affect his eating, drinking and having fun alone in Tokyo.

Due to the large-scale spirit-capturing activities of the Shinomiya Group and the balanced changes in the concentration of spiritual energy, the light pillars at the sealed nodes have gradually faded and disappeared. As a result, the nighttime safety factor in Tokyo has also improved. The government has also gradually relaxed its controls, and the citizens' nightlife has become richer again. The previous atmosphere of terror has been submerged again under the neon lights and decadence of the cyber age.

Similarly, the fireworks show scheduled for Kaguya Shinomiya was held as scheduled, and the tickets for close-up viewing were sold out the moment they were released.

An hour before the fireworks show, Kaguya Shinomiya and Albert arrived early at the pre-set observation deck.

"Kaguya, are you handling your official duties well?"

Due to the changes in their relationship, Albert decided to use a more intimate name for Kaguya Shinomiya in private.

"Forehead……"

Hearing the meaning behind Albert's words, Kaguya Shinomiya just glanced at him indifferently.

"You mean those, the financial ones or..."

"Kaguya should know better than me."

"Too,……"

"Alas, now it's me who has become reserved."

Shinomiya Kaguya sat on the sofa, supporting her chin with her hands, looking at the night view outside the window.

Although she was busy during this period, she was also constantly monitoring Albert's every move through her subordinates.

why?

Shinomiya Kaguya found an excuse for herself: Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat.

But even she herself probably couldn't explain her true thoughts.

Because after her rebirth, both her soul and body were marked by Albert's mark, and her mentality when facing Albert could never return to the same feeling as before.

Shinomiya Kaguya could speak and act like before, but she knew that if she did so, it would just be an act and a deception.

Deep in her soul she felt that deceiving Albert was something she absolutely could not do.

"Albert, I've never had a moment like this before, so I've been thinking about it all this time."

"Let me guess, you're thinking about the relationship between you and me."

Albert said with a smile what Kaguya Shinomiya was thinking.

"Yes, you always see the key to things. It's a really disgusting ability."

"Maybe I can read minds."

"Ha ha……"

Shinomiya Kaguya didn't want to joke with Albert anymore. She wanted to face this problem and solve the problem that was bothering her now!

"Tell me, Albert, what do you think of Kaguya Shinomiya?"

Under normal circumstances, Shinomiya Kaguya would never ask such a stupid question, because she could tell at a glance the attitudes of the people around her: fear, respect, flattery...

Now facing Albert, this mysterious boy who deeply attracted her, Kaguya Shinomiya was undecided.

When she looked into each other's eyes, Kaguya Shinomiya could only see an endless black hole. This feeling of uncertainty once fascinated her and made her extremely eager to obtain it, because she firmly believed in her heart that she was the dominant party.

At this moment, when this mentality became a lie because of the perception of the soul and the body, she felt more uneasy and...fearful in her heart (Shinomiya Kaguya admitted that she did have this emotion).

Facing Kaguya Shinomiya's question, Albert was silent for a moment, and then asked a question in return: "My eyes should have told you the answer, right?"

"Ok?"

Shinomiya Kaguya was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but look at Albert.

Indeed, Kaguya Shinomiya saw that the endless black hole was still floating in Albert's eyes, never changing, as if it was truly eternal.

"I see……"

As if she really understood something, Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly hugged Albert in front of her and kissed him without hesitation.

There is no longer any feeling of coldness and shyness, only enthusiasm and desire, demand and response, entangled together, and the subtle sound of water makes people think about all sorts of things.

Just as Albert said, his words were not an answer, but a confirmation, or an affirmation of the answer in Shinomiya Kaguya's heart that she was unwilling to admit and even unable to understand.

Albert is a zero species, a high-dimensional being corresponding to the world itself. Even though he possesses all human emotions and expressions, his identity means that he does not have the same vital existence as humans that can truly be called human beings.

That is – the heart.

As the human heart.

As a species in human skin, Albert is a being without a human heart. He can have joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, but his emotions are completely controlled by his thoughts and do not come from changes in the human heart. Therefore, there is no love or hate in the true sense. If he wants, then everything is indifferent to him, even if he is not doing so now.

It is because Kaguya Shinomiya became Albert's apostle that she can truly understand Albert's own existence, although only from a superficial perspective. However, her human mind prevented her from completing such an understanding from the beginning because of this inhuman cognition.

But now Kaguya Shinomiya can confirm that for Albert, no matter what she did, Albert can still like her, just as God loves the world. As long as God wants, all sins can be forgiven and everyone can be loved.

Although it may sound abstract, the simple expression is that no matter what happens in the outside world, it will not affect Albert's emotions. His emotions will only change when Albert himself subjectively and consciously wants to change his emotions.

For example, just like now, no matter whether Kaguya Shinomiya kisses Albert or jumps up and stabs Albert, as long as Albert does not want to be angry, then he will not be angry. This is a very difficult thing for humans, because many times humans are affected by various external things and then act according to their emotions.

Magnificent fireworks bloomed in the night sky of Tokyo, and amid the cheers of countless people, their high emotions rose into the sky like fireworks.

On the undisturbed observation deck, Kaguya Shinomiya gently leaned her head on Albert's shoulder, and the noise and fireworks from the audience blew into her ears with the quiet evening breeze.

She closed her eyes, savoring this hard-earned moment, stroking Albert's hand and then clasping it tightly.

Feeling Shinomiya Kaguya's little movement, Albert turned his head slightly and saw that the other party's mouth corners were raised with a smile of success.

Albert also laughed. He looked at the people of Tokyo who were celebrating in the audience. This was the wonder of human beings. Even though they were scattered and independent individuals, their hearts were connected together. Their joys, sorrows, anger and happiness were mutually reflected and shared through words, expressions and actions, and then condensed into a powerful spiritual force, thus creating a brilliant civilization.

Chapter 81 In the Shadow of the World

Three months have passed since Albert returned from his business trip to Tokyo.

During this period, the Shinomiya Group under the leadership of Kaguya Shinomiya officially established an unprecedented cooperative relationship with Albert's Hermes Technologies.

The two sides will carry out in-depth cooperation in new prosthetic technologies, applied information technology and certain cutting-edge technologies that are still in the research scope. At the same time, they will stop the long-standing blockade and confrontation in trade and technology and jointly build a new business network in the Pacific Rim region.

Once the news was announced, it shocked the whole world, but it was also unexpected but reasonable, so the giants and powerful countries of the same level in the world all responded, as if adjusting their policies and strategies according to plan, in order to maximize their own interests in the new changes in the pattern.

From a big picture perspective, the easing of hostility between the old rivals, the Shinomiya Group and Hermes Technologies, has eased the long-standing contradictions and conflicts in the Asia-Pacific region and added the force of peaceful development to the current world order. At least this has a positive impact on most ordinary people, as the probability of them dying from possible corporate wars has been greatly reduced.

But for the world's giants of the same level, that is, competitors, this is not a good signal. The cooperation between the Shinomiya Group and Hermes Technology means the birth of a powerful alliance. If both parties maintain the same position in the distribution of interests, then it will have a great impact on the originally balanced discourse power.

Therefore, a considerable number of people began to make preparations for both situations. On the one hand, they made changes and joined the new chess game to divide the interests. On the other hand, they secretly contacted each other in order to achieve cooperation in interests and jointly fight against Helme Technology and the Sigong Group at the critical moment.
