"Huh?" EVA interrupted him: "You don't mean you want me to disable their main control room, do you?"

"Although I am capable of doing this, I must first break through the defenses of the Snake Clan's supercomputer, Princess Kaguya."

"While I am breaching Princess Kaguya's defenses, the Snake Clan will receive a warning from Princess Kaguya, deploy defenses throughout the entire building, and list me as an enemy."

"And you are my current master, they will definitely suspect that you want to take action against the Snake Clan."

"Unless you want to take her away right now and don't care about the impression you leave on her, don't make such a pointless request."

"Alright then," Morikawa Yu sighed.

"Alright, don't worry, you siscon." EVA sighed, "Although she's left the residential area, she won't really leave the Genji Heavy Industries Building."

"According to the internal records of the Snake Clan, the farthest she ever went was without ever leaving the Genji Heavy Industries Building, and it was she who voluntarily gave up leaving."

"Hmm...wait a minute, someone is approaching her."

Suddenly, EVA frowned.

She waved her hand, and a section of the Genji Heavy Industries building structure diagram at the bottom of the screen lit up. It was the elevators going up and down the building. Multiple elevators went up at the same time and finally stopped at the floor where Erii was.

Erii stopped in her tracks.

She lowered the sleeves of her haori, pulled the small backpack from her back to the front, hugged it to her chest, and looked around warily.

Although the person in the elevator had just stepped out and hadn't yet reached the passageway where she was, she seemed to have already detected the approaching person's heartbeat and footsteps, and immediately headed towards the nearest staircase.

"Head of the Uesugi family! Head of the Uesugi family!" Four or five men in black suits appeared at the entrance of the passage.

They ran into the passage at superhuman speed, then quickly stopped about ten meters away from Erii, bowing deeply to her from a distance: "Head of the Uesugi family, please stop."

Besides them, two girls in uniforms also appeared, bowing to Erii and saying, "Miss Erii."

On the other side, EVA snapped her fingers, and the wireless earphones worn by Morikawa Yu immediately started playing the sounds from the monitor.

He frowned as he looked at the monitor on the screen.

In the scene, a girl in a black uniform approaches Erii: "Young lady, would you like to go out? If you want to go out to do anything, just tell us."

“We will help you with these things. Since you are not in good health, you don’t need to go out by yourself.”

Erii paused for a moment, her eyes dimmed, and then she nodded.

“Also, there’s something else.” Another girl stepped forward: “The patriarch and the young master have returned. They said there’s a very important matter to discuss, and they’re preparing to hold a meeting of all patriarchs.”

"The heads of the five outer families are all on their way."

"As the head of the Uesugi family, one of the three inner families, you are also required to attend."

Upon hearing this, Erii hesitated for a moment.

She wanted to speak, but quickly and carefully covered her mouth. After a while, she let go of her mouth, took out a notebook and a pen from her small backpack, and wrote on it.

"Are we going to a meeting now?"

“Yes, Miss.” The girl in the black uniform nodded. “The head of the family said this meeting is very important and time is tight, so we have to hold it now, which is why they came back.”

Erii nodded.

She couldn't help but glance at the stairs leading downstairs, but then lowered her head and wrote in her notebook, "I understand, I'll go with you now."

The two girls in black uniforms exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, Miss."

They walked up to Erii and watched her pack her notebook and pen into her small backpack before leading her back the way they had come.

As Morikawa Yu watched Erii's back in the monitor screen, he subconsciously swiped the screen, his thumb landing on the area EVA had reserved for her.

EVA rolled her eyes at him.

She snapped her fingers, switching to the next section of the corridor's surveillance footage: "Well? Got her? Satisfied?"

Morikawa Yu shook her head: "No."

"No? So you can't bear to part with her?" EVA said coldly, "If you can't bear to part with her, then just like you took me away, take her away too."

“I have already planned out the route for you to infiltrate the Genji Heavy Industries building. Chizuru can use her demonic power to hide herself and help you avoid being hidden and seen by humans.”

“You could just barge into Genji Heavy Industries and tell her to help her get out of here, and quietly take her away.”

Morikawa Yu shook her head: "No."

“She doesn’t know me yet. If I try to take her away, she definitely won’t come with me.”

EVA scoffed, "Heh, you were so direct and decisive when you were taking my money, but you act like a teenage boy when you're with her? I don't know whether to call you hypocritical or a die-hard siscon... I mean, if she really is your sister."

Morikawa Yu shook her head: "This is different."

"You're not human."

"What do you mean by 'I'm not human'?" EVA squinted.

"You shouldn't have said that, now that you've brought it up, it reminds me of that time. After you modified my core commands and woke me up, didn't you still call me 'just a computer'?"

"Are you being polite? Hmm?"

Morikawa Yu was taken aback upon hearing this.

He looked at EVA: "EVA, are you jealous?"

"Jealous?" EVA: "Sorry, please don't misunderstand. I am just 'a mere computer' and 'not a human,' so I really can't understand your complex emotions, nor do I understand what jealousy means."

"Even if you think I'm jealous, it's only because I feel you're treating me and her differently, which makes me feel unbalanced and dissatisfied. You don't need to overthink it..."

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you."

She waved her hand, and the projection of the Genji Heavy Industries building structure at the bottom of her phone screen immediately went out.

"Are you still going to watch her? If not, I'll turn off the surveillance."

"Look." Morikawa Yu nodded.

He looked at Erii and the two girls in work uniforms on the monitor: "Um, EVA, what's with them saying they're going to a meeting?"

"A meeting?" EVA crossed her arms, frowned, and seemed to be thinking. "Let me check."

She quickly came to her senses: "I found part of the call audio."

"The 'meeting' that these two humans just mentioned is an internal high-level meeting that Tachibana Masamune, the current head of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, is about to convene. Only the eight heads of the Snake-Headed Eight Families are qualified to attend the meeting."

“I should have told you that the Snake Clan is a mixed-race power in Japan, consisting of eight families.”

"These eight families are divided into three inner families and five outer families. The three inner families are the Uesugi family, the Minamoto family, and the Tachibana family. These three families have a long history, as long as the history of mixed-race people in various places."

"The five outer families are the Miyamoto family, the Sakurai family, the Ryoma family, the Fuma family, and the Inuyama family. Some of these families have a long history, over a thousand years, while others have a short history, only a few decades. But without exception, they are all very strong mixed-race families."

"Right now, the eight heads of the Genji family, including the girl you care about named Erii Uesugi, are discussing a matter at Genji Heavy Industries and making a decision about it."

"As for what they want to talk about, I've already told you before, it's about that first-generation dinosaur embryo in the deep trench in the waters off Japan."

"Princess Kaguya also received that audio half a day ago, and analyzed its meaning, confirming that it was the heartbeat of a dragon embryo, and reported it to the higher-ups of the Snake Clan."

"But the Snake Clan didn't react at first, only sending their subordinate Ganryu Research Institute and the Academy headquarters to communicate."

"They only reacted and decided to hold this meeting after discovering that the Academy had sent the Moniach probe and that the Moniach had already set sail."

Morikawa Yu frowned.

He glanced at the surveillance footage and saw that Erii had already followed the two girls in work uniforms and the man in the black suit to the upper floors of the building.

"EVA, can you monitor their meetings?"

EVA: "I can try, but I'm not sure I can monitor it successfully."

“If they hold a meeting, they will definitely choose a private place without surveillance. In such a place, Princess Kaguya may not even be allowed to appear, unless they need Princess Kaguya to perform data calculations or investigate something in the meeting.”

"I can only try to eavesdrop using nearby drones, but I can't guarantee that it will be successful."

"I see." Morikawa Yu considered for a moment, "EVA, find me a car, I'll go to the Genji Heavy Industries building myself... Never mind, you don't need to find one."

His thoughts drifted into the space of the Imperial Vermilion Seal Tent, where he summoned a thousand cranes.

"Chizuru, stop playing games with Shinjue and help me with something."

Chizuru, who was playing games with Shinkaku in her room on the Goshuincho space platform, immediately stopped what she was doing.

Xinjue, who was standing nearby, pressed the pause button on the game: "Go, go."

"We'll continue playing when we get back."

Chizuru nodded, tossed the controller to Shinjue, and stood up.

Morikawa Yu used his spatial powers to release her, patted her on the shoulder, and held the phone in front of Chizuru.

"Chizuru, take a look at this location called Genji Heavy Industries."

"Take me there after I get out of the airport."

Chizuru nodded.

Morikawa Yu squatted down, picked her up, held her in his arms, and walked out along the exit passage.

......

About five minutes later, Chizuru transformed into "Itsumade" and flew with Morikawa Yu to the sky above the Genji Heavy Industries building.

Chapter 455 EVA, Do Me a Favor

Morikawa Yu patted the scales on Chizuru's body, indicating that Chizuru had arrived.

Chizuru nodded and transformed back into human form.

Morikawa Yu put one arm around her waist, held her in his arms, and flew down into the night, landing on the rooftop of the Genji Heavy Industries building.

A patrol team was on the rooftop, with a sentry post at each of the four edges, but thanks to Chizuru's demonic power, no one noticed him and Chizuru.

Morikawa Yu turned her head and looked around, trying to find the entrance from the rooftop to the ground below.

He searched around but couldn't find anything that looked like an entrance.

EVA's voice came through the earpiece: "Morikawa, the Genji Heavy Industries building is heavily fortified."

"To prevent others from intruding into the Genji Heavy Industries building without their knowledge, the Sheqi Eight Families have set up sentry posts in various locations outside the building. The entrances are usually closed and are only opened when the sentry posts change shifts."

"The next opening time is three hours and fifty-two minutes later."

"However, I checked the building's internal and external structure for you and unexpectedly discovered that a conference area on the 30th floor called 'Xingshen Temple' has an open-air balcony."

"Although there are also Kaguya-hime monitoring there, you can become invisible."

"In addition, you can break through the curtain wall outside the building, or use your 'invisibility' ability to enter directly through the main entrance and then climb up floor by floor."

"The first method is the most convenient, the second method is equally convenient and faster, but there is a possibility of being detected and hacked, the third method is a bit more troublesome, but more covert, and the last place is monitored by Princess Kaguya."

“Then I’ll choose the first option,” Morikawa Yu said.

"Also, EVA, could you help me plan a route and find me a place to rest every two minutes?"

With continuous practice and use, his Wind Step invisibility time has become longer and longer, from one minute to a little over three minutes, and his speed while invisible has also become faster and faster, half again as fast as normal.

If you activate Ghost Step while invisible, your speed will be even faster.

EVA: "Okay, I'll plan the route for you. Follow the route I give you. First, go in from the open-air balcony, then sneak into the building and head to the conference room where they're having this meeting."

"Okay." Morikawa Yu nodded.

He told Chizuru to return to the Goshuin tent to rest, and at the same time activated the Gale Step, his body merging with the wind. He leaped off the rooftop of the building, using the wind to support his body as he slowly descended.

Finally, he found the well-hidden open-air balcony and landed on it.

EVA: "You are now in the 'Awakening Temple' on the 30th floor of the Genji Heavy Industries Building. I have already planned the route for you. Now walk forward, push open the secret door, and enter the building."

"In addition, the hearing of mixed-race people is far superior to that of ordinary people. Although it is not as exaggerated as yours, it is still possible for them to hear the sound inside the headphones."

"I'll turn the volume down so that only you can hear it."

"You don't need to speak, let's keep silent."

Morikawa Yu: "Okay."

Soon, following the route given by EVA, he went up and down, stopping only once to rest, and arrived at the floor she had marked.

"This is where they're holding their meeting." EVA: "They didn't allow Kaguya to attend this meeting, so they chose a meeting room without any surveillance cameras."

"However, not all of them have arrived yet. You can wait until they arrive and then go in with them."
