"Accepting that invitation is a signal that he intends to restrain himself. The forces involved behind psychological mastery can be used as his ticket."

"Create a force?"

Aiwass nodded, understanding what Aleister was thinking.

From an expressive point of view, this power of unknown identity has very low material needs for society.

In addition, Roland himself also has a noble personality above the phase, and can be said to be omnipotent in the material world.

In this case, the only value of power to him is the people who make up the power themselves.

"AIM's position is the right path of physical phase, and the power of unknown identity is also within the rules of physical phase interpretation. If we use the environment of this Academy City to create power, if everything goes well, we will get two results."

Aiwass's words became shorter, but the radiant halo above his head flashed much faster.

"First, from bottom to top, break through the boundaries of phase blockade, and then..."

"——From top to bottom."

Mentioning this matter, Aleister's eyes froze slightly, as if he saw the future that was about to be born.

"The existence named Roland will become the... source of power for this otherworldly superpower."

"..."

"And when that time comes, will he be a hope that meets your requirements, Aiwass?"

Aleister asked rhetorically towards the angel who was his greatest support.

Roland and he have the same goal, but the process is completely different, while Aiwass's is the opposite.

Her goal is to pursue a {king}, but to achieve this, cooperating with Aleister to solve the phase is just a process of completing the goal.

Based on the conflicting positions, Aleister's relationship with Aiwass allows him to give his back to each other wholeheartedly, but this trust comes from various control methods and conceptual agreement set on her. , rather than truly unreserved.

"Like you, Aleister, I also need more observation, but as I said before, you will give up your usual profit-first approach because of the power of the other world, so it is only natural that I will change."

"I understand."

Aleister closed his eyes again and did not make any comment on the words of the holy guardian angel.

Seeing his performance, Aiwass's mouth corners slightly curled up, and then hid back in the overlapping phases.

After the brightest light source disappeared, the windowless building fell into silence again. Only the cold sound of mechanical operation still sounded from time to time, as if to indicate that this restless night was not over yet.

-

"Speaking of which, where are we going next?"

Looking at Roland who was walking slowly ahead and admiring the night view, Shokuhou Misaki puffed up his cheeks slightly and stamped his feet angrily.

After walking out of that alley, although she couldn't relax from a rational point of view, the joy of surviving the crisis made her completely lose this feeling.

Even the will to fight was shaken.

After having someone to rely on, the fatigue that had been ignored in the life-and-death situation suddenly came back.

Now, let alone fighting with all her strength, she had to deliberately use her will to keep herself from fainting due to the surge in fatigue.

It was okay when she was being held, but now she needs to walk on her own. She desperately wants to take a rest on the road with no definite goal.

But a strong man like Roland seemed unaware of her difficulties and continued to move forward at a leisurely pace.

"We haven't decided yet, but no matter what, we have to go to the main road before we can make a decision."

"Well……"

Shokuhou Misaki was silent for a while, then reluctantly agreed to this statement.

In order to avoid pursuit, she ran too deep into these deserted alleys.

As one of the few vehicles that can be accommodated in this alley, the randomly placed bicycles were turned into a ball of scrap metal in the initial attack, leaving the girl to rely on her own legs. .

If I had known it would be like this, I should have skipped less physical education classes in the past.

Although the idea after such a profound lesson is just to skip a few classes, rather than change the past and focus on training in the future, it feels a bit subtle.

But for Shokuhou Misaki herself, this kind of more credible regret is considered a sincere desire to change.

But this kind of change that will only take effect in the future obviously cannot help her now.

And out of her arrogant mentality, the girl could not immediately ask Roland to help her with the excuse of repaying her kindness.

It feels like once you make a move like this, you can never go back.

Shokuhou Misaki clenched her teeth quietly.

But after taking a few more steps, and after my legs gradually went from being as heavy as lead to numbness, my persistence finally gave way.

"Ah, really, don't care!"

She was originally a physical waste, and she had been so close to Roland in the embrace of a princess. Compared with her remaining reserve, her instinctive needs were more important.

The blushing girl took a few steps forward with some resignation, then hugged Roland's arm, pressed her soft and boneless body tightly against him, and handed over all her weight.

"What's wrong, Shokuhou-san, can't you walk?"

Therefore, when Roland in front of him still heard teasing questions from time to time.

Shokuhou Misaki also pursed her lips tightly, actively matching the opponent's posture while launching a counterattack unceremoniously.

"Hmph, are you so proud of your physical strength? The so-called relying on your own feet is just a word to encourage people to work hard. There is no need for people like me to show off in this regard!"

"Even this level of sophistry can't change the fact that you are a physical waste," Roland sighed, "But I don't intend to talk about this issue."

Under the angry gaze of the girl, Roland put his hand gently on the other person's shoulder without caring, letting the majestic power naturally flow through the other person's body.

"What I mean is, since you can't hold on any longer, you should just say it. Can't I just help you regain your strength?"

"Eh?"

A sense of comfort, like being blown by a breeze, instantly penetrated Shokuhou Misaki's body. The pain and fatigue accumulated from the excessive exercise just now seemed like they had never happened at all.

Even the slender arms that hugged Roland tightly seemed to have endless strength.

This guy!

At this moment, Shokuhou-san reacted and looked at Roland with gritted teeth.

It was impossible for the other party not to notice that he was tired, and also knew that he was trying to show off his strength. The reason why he deliberately did not say anything was to see what he looked like at this moment.

But although letting go of her hands would make the second half of Roland's plan fall apart, such an approach was obviously not in line with her wishes.

So Shokuhou-san had no choice but to look at Roland with contempt.

Of course, unlike her, with Roland's thick skin, he completely ignored this and even smiled even happier.

Seeing this, the girl could only sigh helplessly and cough.

"So, have you set the next goal? There are a lot of preliminary preparations to create a force."

Although many of the so-called forces exist based on personal force, it does not mean that the peripheral parts are unimportant.

The level of assets, reputation before the public, the research plans that have been realized, how many researchers there are, and the core goals and prospects for the future are all extremely important parts.

To develop, the slow conversion of these potentials into resources is an essential part.

However, since Roland can contact the chairman, these trivial matters should not be difficult...

"Well, the initial preparations are almost done." Roland showed a confident smile. "Except for the undecided location, penniless situation, unclear prospects, and the lack of fame, the rest is completed."

"Isn't this just because you haven't made any preparations?"

Shokuhou Misaki roared in anger, but Roland still didn't pay attention.

"Who said that? Didn't I already hold the most important conditions in my hands?"

"Core conditions?"

Roland smiled slightly, raised his other hand into the air, and slowly clenched it.

"Yeah, isn't strength my qualification? As long as I have it, the rest of the things can be easily solved. If it's too troublesome to build it myself, wouldn't it be better to grab the ready-made one?"

It’s a violent argument that points directly to the underlying logic, but it does get to the essence of the problem.

Even her methods are, in essence, confirmation of this theory.

Shokuhou Misaki's face froze, and finally he sighed helplessly.

"In that case, do you want to come to the talent house?"

Chapter 409: Clown, what are you doing?

"Talent room?"

Roland was slightly startled.

"This is the research institution I belonged to before. Its original purpose was to study the birth of geniuses and great men."

Shokuhou Misaki stuck out her tongue playfully.

"However, it's not that great when it comes to research. In essence, they are just moving towards the goal of creating genius factories for mass production by just pressing a button through the process of copying and capability development."

"It's really an easy-to-understand naming method," Roland narrowed his eyes, "But since this was the original intention, then the subsequent change in direction was also the reason why you asked me to reject the talent house in the first place, right?"

"That's right, because they discovered this young lady's ability."

Shokuhou Souji spoke softly and slowly, with a smile as bright as a flower.

"Compared with a creative genius whose progress is slow and whose prospects are unknown, is it much more convenient to directly brainwash? In terms of efficiency and difficulty, even I can't deny that this is an unreasonable choice."

Although the girl was trying her best to restrain her emotions, her slightly trembling hands and restless eyes had betrayed her true thoughts.

So, Roland touched the girl's head.

"Do you treat me like a child?"

While muttering like this, Shokuhou Misaki hugged Roland's arm tighter, and the sweet taste like honey continued to penetrate into his nasal cavity.

"However, this is all in the past. Whether it's Dolly's experience or the talent house's plan to burn bridges, they all gave me ample reasons to strike first."

Shokuhou Misaki smiled and looked at Roland with soft eyes.

"Now that place is under my control. Although it is somewhat abandoned due to its placement, the general buildings and assets have been preserved intact. How about it? It meets your requirements, right?"

"But this is also a valuable asset for Shokuhou-san, right? Is it okay to just give it to me?"

"Even if you say so," Shokuhou Misaki widened her eyes slightly, "To me, the value of Saitoubo is just an information station and warehouse. It's better to give it more value to you."

"Moreover," the girl showed a rather soft expression and raised her head slightly. "Compared to such a dead thing, accomplices who work together are undoubtedly closer."

"Then I would be disrespectful."

Roland smiled gently.

"Huhu, such frankness is worth extra points."

Seeing that he could help Roland, Shokuhou Misaki's expression became brighter, and he took the initiative to pick up Roland and drag him forward.

"Without further ado, let me lead the way for you. You need to go this way next...Eh? This seems to be the only way to the talent's workshop, right?"

After discovering that the path Roland walked in the previous chat had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, the excitement on the girl's face immediately turned into suspicion.

"You want to tease me again?"

Shokuhou's eyes suddenly became brighter and brighter. Although she did not say these words, Roland could clearly see her thoughts on her face.

Well... considering his criminal record, this suspicion cannot be said to be unfounded.

However, this time he really wronged himself, Roland shrugged.

"It's just a coincidence. No, this statement may be a bit biased, but my purpose of following this path is just to deal with the aftermath."

"Aftermath?"

Shokuhou Caoqi paused, a little surprise appeared on his face, and his tone became serious.

"Did you find it so quickly?"

The prototype of the driving armor, the Spear of Usurpation, is not accessible to a worthless research material like Dead Knot. Coupled with the restraint that is specifically aimed at her abilities, it is obvious that there is a mastermind behind the matter.

Roland nodded, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Although the mastermind behind the scenes hid his appearance when reading the memories of those dead knots, the program helmet used to resist your psychological control has been sending signals to this place. Even if I want to ignore it, it is difficult. I can't see it. It doesn’t look like it’s very far, so we plan to solve it together along the way.”

"So...the receiving location of the signal source is in the talent room?"
