Kill them in Cyberman!

"That's about right. After all, I have to gain some benefit from it, right?"

Albert stood up and looked at Hilde, and the two looked at each other for a few seconds.

"No matter what you did, you shouldn't have saved her. If she were alive, it would cause a lot of trouble for our next plan."

Hilde did not stop Albert's behavior.

"Please rest assured that Miss Jeanne will not only not cause us any trouble, but will also be our helper."

"helper?"

"You want mind control or something?"

Hilde was a little skeptical. Could it be that Albert was trying to brainwash Jeanne? This trick might work on ordinary people like the deputy mayor, but Jeanne would not become so easily...

"Hey, Miss Hilde, what era are we in? Are you still brainwashing people with traditions?"

Albert gave an "innocent" smile.

"My method is more effective than any instrument. Doesn't Miss Hilde want to see the evil fallen saint?"

As she spoke those explicit words, some bad images emerged in Hilde's mind. Glancing at Joan of Arc who was still being drawn on the ground, a vicious smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Then please prepare it carefully, Mr. Albert~"

…………

At noon sharp, the live broadcast started again. This time the content was extremely explosive. Everyone in Newland City witnessed the death of Albert Hermes.

"Dear citizens, now, welcome the new future of Newland City!!!"

In front of the people of Newland, Deputy Mayor Max made an impassioned loud cry, and then the live broadcast came to an abrupt end, and the last picture was given to the body of Albert Hermes.

With the death of Albert Hermes, the stock price of Hermes Technologies plummeted. Although the whole company was in a panic, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. As a giant company that influences the world, the actual losses in this crisis are far from bankruptcy. Therefore, with the support of some loyal employees and immediate assistance from overseas, Hermes Technologies remains active.

Although the overall situation is shrinking, due to the short time, Hermes Technology still maintains an active position in Newland and the United States.

People hold different opinions about Albert's death. Some people who had been waiting for Albert to die applauded and even held a banquet to celebrate; some people who were concerned about their own wealth and interests cried and wished that Albert could be brought back to life; some people who have recently been obsessed with conspiracy theories insisted that Albert was not dead, but was just under house arrest by the Illuminati, and so on.

However, it is worth mentioning that the US officials are in an ambiguous state about this matter. They only announced the arrest of Deputy Mayor Max, the direct murderer of Albert Hermes, due to the surging public opinion and the impact on taxation. At the same time, it is said that they will thoroughly investigate Albert's death.

Of course, progress is still as slow as ever.

……

Pochi slowly opened her eyes, and the dazzling white light made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Where is this..."

"Am I not dead?..."

Looking at the white hospital gown he was wearing, the surrounding environment looked like an extremely advanced laboratory.

"Pochi-chan, are you finally awake?!"

A sweet voice came from the door, and a red figure jumped directly into Pochi's arms.

"what!"

"you……"

"Kita?!"

Looking at the red-haired girl in his arms, Pochi was shocked and delighted.

"Pochi-chan, there's me too!"

The blonde girl walked into the room cheerfully, giving Pochi a bright smile.

"Hongxia Mama..."

Now Pochi was completely confused. His previous memory was still in that terrifying underground laboratory. How come he was suddenly in such a clean place now, and his old companions suddenly appeared beside him...

"Could it be that I'm already dead? Is this heaven?"

Pochi lifted up Kita Ikuyo (abbreviated as Kita) in his arms and rubbed her face.

"Wow, Pochi..."

He reached out and rubbed the hand of Ijichi Hongxia (abbreviated as: Hongxia) next to him. Hongxia did not resist but instead grabbed the hand on his face.

"I'm sorry for letting you and Liang endure this alone..."

The girl's eyes were still as gentle as ever, and a tear flashed in the corner of her eyes.

Chapter 123 Band Reorganization

During the night in the underground laboratory, one has to admit that Fatty Oren was quite lucky. Not only did he survive in this horror movie-like environment, but he also got the experimental data on the Wanling Gem that the other three parties had not had time to take.

However, when Oren was about to escape, he encountered the crazy soldiers he brought with him. After escaping all the way, he accidentally ran into the experimental area where Albert and the other two were.

Then came the classic plot. Oren followed his previous script on the spot, crying bitterly in front of Albert and telling him about his tragic experience of getting the information for Albert.

Faced with this fat pig who didn't even care about his dignity, Albert could only sigh and think that he was making good use of the waste. After all, he was really short of people. Although Oren was a waste, he also had great ambitions.

But as the saying goes, extraordinary times call for extraordinary people, and after this blow, Oren will be able to settle down for a while. At least when facing the next impact, Hermes Technology needs to maintain good internal stability, which is a necessary condition for getting through the difficult times.

At the same time, Albert will continue his father's research on the Thousand-edge Gem.

But unlike Nietzsche, Albert did not intend to put it behind closed doors in a research institute, but instead focused on practice.

In the new research plan, Pochi, the only living person who has resonated with gems, is crucial. Therefore, the most important point in advancing the plan is to increase the resonance rate between Pochi and gems.

Before Albert "left", he made corresponding arrangements for Pochi. Since he would not be in Newland afterwards and could not personally control the overall situation, he handed the matter over to his first apostle: Kaguya Shinomiya.

In order to get Pochi to go to Japan for "experiments", Albert asked S to mobilize the power of Hermes Technology, find her former teammates, and give them a reason they could not refuse.

…………

“Hey——!”

"Band? Is this real? Is this really possible?!"

Pochi looked at Hongxia in shock.

"Yes, Hermes Technology has introduced our band to the Shinomiya Foundation. If we can get approval from President Shinomiya, we will have the opportunity to participate in the New Heian Song Festival to be held in the new capital of Japan in a month."

"According to Hermes' people, this is compensation for what happened back then..."

When talking about what happened six years ago, everyone present had a gloom in their eyes.

"The truth is..."

Pochi looked at Yamada Ryo, and the two looked at each other, and the other made an "OK" gesture to her.

"Okay, okay, I will definitely try my best!"

Kita gently put his hand on Pochi's shoulder, "Don't worry, Pochi-chan, in fact, everyone has missed the old days in the past few years, let's pick up our lost youth again!"

"Even if I can't pass President Shinomiya's test, I will be very satisfied as long as I can give a complete performance on stage again."

Hong Xia smiled sweetly.

"Yeah, Hongxia-chan is right. If you become famous, don't forget to promote it... wuwu..."

Kita grabbed Yamada Ryo's mouth and said, "Senior, please stop thinking about the advertisement!!"

"Yeah, let's all work hard together."

Outside the ward, S looked at the four people who had reunited after a long separation, wondering why Albert would bet such an important matter on this seemingly unreliable guy.

"Forget it, since it's the young master's decision, it shouldn't be wrong..."

……

"Well, Japan, Dream, I, Pochi Silverhand, am here!"

By the window of the special plane, Pochi stretched out her brand new silver prosthetic limb (the latest model specially sponsored by Hermes Technology), her heart full of imagination about the future, as if she had really walked out of the past... or not?

In the corner of her backpack, a metal suitcase (a "small gift" from S before boarding the plane) was flickering with colorful lights.

…………

Tokyo Tower top floor observation deck

This famous tourist building closed early today, which is rare, because a big shot had made an advance reservation to visit it.

Shinomiya Kaguya, wearing a snow-white kimono, stood in front of the window, overlooking the bustling city under the sunlight.

"Madame, the things sent by M. Albert have arrived."

Hayasaka Ai walked out of the elevator and respectfully placed the black briefcase in front of Shinomiya Kaguya.

"Is it a gift?"

"Mr. Albert did not say anything, he just left a message that you would use it."

"Oh, then Ai-chan, please step back and give the girl a little privacy~"

Shinomiya Kaguya said playfully, her eyes flickering with a dazed smile as she looked at the suitcase.

"Sorry, I will withdraw now."

After receiving the order from Shinomiya Kaguya, Hayasaka Ai hurriedly retreated. Ever since the last incident in Tokyo, she always felt that Shinomiya Kaguya had changed, the most obvious being that her figure had become better than before.

As for the spiritual level, it is hard to say what it is specifically, but the degree of awe is increasing day by day.

Return to the tranquility of being alone on the observation deck.

Kaguya Shinomiya gently stroked the suitcase, pressed the fingerprint lock switch, and then opened it.

Five small objects resembling mechanical syringes lay quietly in the suitcase.

After staring at the "syringe" for a while, the smile on Kaguya Shinomiya's perfect face became even wider. She didn't need any explanation, she had already understood Albert's intention. Perhaps this was the mutual understanding between the apostle and the master.

"You came at the right time, but..."

Just like the weather, which changes suddenly, Shinomiya Kaguya's expression was a little annoyed. "After learning about your 'death', the mice should take action soon. I have to make good use of it. I can't delay any longer."

……

Xinjing, Amaterasu Palace

The projection of a tall man appeared in the priest's hall, kneeling on one knee in front of the masked priest.

"How's it going, Hannya, how's the sealing of Osaka Prefecture going?"

The man had a mask of the devil on his face, and he replied in a deep voice: "Sir, I have taken out the remains of Ibaraki Douji."

"Oh, I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. She didn't stop you?"

"Shinomiya Kaguya didn't take any action. I guess she failed to find the villain's whereabouts."

"Haha, Prajna, don't underestimate our opponent. She is not as stupid as you think."

"Well, I understand. Your Excellency's teaching is correct."

"Okay, if that's the case, let's execute the plan. We can't miss this opportunity. We must completely root out the problem. Do you understand?"

"I will definitely fulfill my mission. With Ibaraki Douji's help, I will definitely kill Shinomiya Kaguya completely!"

Prajna's projection gradually dissipated, leaving only the priest sitting alone in the hall.

Chapter 124: Trip to Osaka Prefecture

Campus life is a life that makes people love and hate it. We hate its monotony and love its diversity. In most human lives, it is always a contradictory existence.

Kaguya Shinomiya, the president of the Shinomiya Group, is only a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. But as the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover. Even though she is still young, Kaguya Shinomiya's intelligence far exceeds that of ordinary humans. She has completed all the courses and studies required by her family several years ago.

For this reason alone, the so-called campus life was short and boring for someone like her. Under the shadow of the Shinomiya Group, no one dared to get close, and everyone was filled with awe and timidity.

Osaka Prefectural University is one of the most famous universities in Japan. Although it has nothing to do with Shinomiya Kaguya, its president has unprecedentedly invited the most powerful person in Japan to give a speech here.

This so-called speech is boring and useless. Its content is far less important than its form. The president of Osaka Prefectural University simply wants to rely on Shinomiya Kaguya's fame and reputation to increase the appeal of his school.

Faced with the benefits offered by the other party, Kaguya Shinomiya did not refuse, but put the matter within the scope of her consideration, and then an interesting phenomenon occurred.

That is, seeing that Kaguya Shinomiya did not directly refuse, all the famous universities in Japan sent invitations to Kaguya Shinomiya almost at the same time.

Obviously, since there is an opportunity, these guys will fight for it, just like a pack of dogs struggling to get praise from their owner, without caring about their own face at all.

Seeing the pile of exquisite invitations on her desk, Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't help laughing. The benefits they offered were varied, but the overall level was pretty similar. It would be difficult for an ordinary person to make a fair choice among them.

It is possible that the president of Ooitafu University had already anticipated this situation, so the next day after the invitation was sent out, he secretly offered a second reward to Shinomiya Kaguya, a special reward that was far more important than any other at this time, the location of the great Japanese demon Ibaraki Douji who was sealed in the Ooita spiritual vein area.
