"What are you going to do?" No. 11 asked in a low voice after Qian Yuanqiu finished the call.

"Let's contact Noah's Ark first." Qian Yuanqiu made a plan in his mind and said.

"After contacting it, negotiate with it and make it agree to our request."

No. 11 checked his remaining energy and estimated the maximum limit he could use.

It said: "But the negotiation will not be 100% successful. If it doesn't work, I will take a gamble and wipe out the human consciousness on Noah's Ark. The disadvantage is that you will need to manually operate it if you want to check anything in the future."

"No." Qian Yuanqiu immediately rejected the proposal. When No. 11 asked him suspiciously, he made up an excuse to get away with it: "I'm too lazy to check it out."

"Really?" No. 11 didn't think Chihara Aki was that kind of person. He thought he was quite hardworking.

Hiroki Sawada is a genius, a pathetic genius. Using his creations will also erase his remaining personality, but Chihara Aki does not want to do this.

"I understand." No. 11 also didn't want to attack Noah's Ark, which was suspected to be of the same kind.

"Then try to talk to it." It warned, "After all, it is an advanced artificial intelligence that should not exist. If I can't stop it from self-destructing, I will still kill it as a last resort."

Although Noah's Ark would be pitiful if we did this, the mission comes first.

There are still a few days before the press conference. During this period, No. 11 enters a dormant state to save energy. Chihara Aki continues to learn how to make masks under the guidance of Kuroba Kaito.

Kuroba Kaito held up a mask that looked like him and praised excitedly, "As expected of me! I'm so professional even on my first time as a teacher!"

"Yeah." Qian Yuanqiu looked at his bright expression and nodded in agreement.

"You haven't told me what you're going to use it for yet?" Kuroba Kaito slapped the mask in his hand on Chihara Aki's face.

Qian Yuanqiu grabbed the mask that slipped down and compared it carefully with the original mask: "Sister Ling sent me to attend the press conference to understand the trend of the gaming industry."

"You're having a hard time." Kuroba Kaito crossed his legs, supported himself with his hands, leaned his head forward and said, "Do you want my help?"

Qian Yuanqiu pushed his head away and refused mercilessly: "I'm not going there to play."

"Hey? I also want to experience Cocoon. It's a holographic game."

Kuroba Kaito fell to the ground with his hands crossed under his head.

"Give up, I can't play it either." Qian Yuanqiu said mercilessly.

"Why? Didn't Sister Yanagihara receive the invitation letter?" Kuroba Kaito turned his head and asked.

Qian Yuanqiu put the mask on his face and adjusted the edges while saying, "Those who are eligible to play are children, and they will be monitored the whole time. If you really want to challenge yourself, try disguising yourself as a child."

In Kuroba Kaito's mind, an image of a little man representing himself stood pitifully on the game table, surrounded by a circle of cameras pointed at him, and he felt disgusted.

He shook his head and threw the weird image out of his mind. Forget it. The difficulty level could not even be described as 'high'.

"Good weight."

After putting on the mask, Qian Yuanqiu felt it and felt a little dissatisfied.

"Not bad, you learn quickly." Kuroba Kaito observed a face that looked just like his own, frowned and said in a tangled way, "It's so weird to be face to face with myself."

"Really?" Chihara Aki took off the mask and placed it next to Kuroba Kaito, saying, "I'll leave it to you."

"Ah? Let me handle myself?" Kuroba Kaito exerted force from his waist and sat up cross-legged, holding the mask and saying in embarrassment: "It's so heavy, ah, I'm talking about the weight."

"Oh, right." He suddenly remembered something, looked up at Qian Yuanqiu who was getting up and preparing to leave, and said, "I haven't received the invitation you mentioned yet."

The bangs on her forehead fluttered with the swaying of her body, and her deep blue eyes looked at her clearly.

Such a well-behaved look made Qian Yuanqiu unable to help but stretch out his evil hands and ruffle the furry hair.

"I'm talking about business!" Kuroba Kaito quickly protected his hair and protested.

"It shouldn't be so early. Let me know when you have news." Qian Yuanqiu took his hand away with regret in his eyes. "Then I'm leaving. Goodbye."

Kuroba Kaito fixed his hair with resentment: "No!"

He has to go out and play with Qingzi soon, and he has finally managed to style his hair!

On the way back, No. 11 thought for a long time before asking, "Why do you want to attend the press conference? Aren't you going to take Noah's Ark away in advance?"

"Hmm, why..." Qian Yuanqiu was sorting out the plan in his mind and replied absentmindedly, "I don't think I can take Noah's Ark away in advance."

"What's the reason?" No. 11 asked, curious about his plan.

"Noah's Ark is now controlled by Hiroki Sawada. He is still full of negative thoughts about the world. I don't think I can influence him."

This is the result of Qian Yuanqiu's analysis based on the plot.

A lonely childhood, an unfree life, and being exploited by adults.

All this pushed Hiroki Sawada off the roof, but his pursuit became simple and he just wanted to be happy like ordinary people.

Chihara Aki thinks he can't help Sawada Hiroki in this regard.

"Maybe I can give it a try?" No. 11 ignited his fighting spirit and wanted to show his skills.

"No, let's just leave everything to the original plot."

Qian Yuanqiu didn't know what was wrong with him, and continued: "If I want Noah's Ark to recognize me, only Sawada Hiroki who has been redeemed can do it."

Number 11 had no opinion of his own and continued, "You're right. It's better not to take the risk."

"But before the press conference begins, I need to meet someone."

This person is the key figure in retaining Hiroki Sawada.

When I arrived at the residence, Takeshita, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, was leaning against the wall at the door with his head up in a daze.

Hearing the sound, he turned his head and looked over, and saw Qian Yuanqiu greeting him casually: "Hey, you're finally back."

Qian Yuanqiu frowned. The man in front of him looked even more unkempt, and the smell of cigarette smoke on his body seemed to become tangible and was threatening to cling to him.

He walked around the man and opened the door.

"Hey, do you dislike me?" Takeshita made a sad face.

"No."

"I saw you taking a detour, and you had such a disgusted look on your face," Takeshita complained dissatisfiedly. Who was he looking like this for?

"You're wrong." Qian Yuanqiu retorted expressionlessly, "If you don't come in, I'll close the door."

After entering the room, Takeshita collapsed on the sofa. The soft sofa seemed to purify his entire soul. It would have been better if he ignored the air freshener that Chihara Aki took out.

"I've told you a long time ago that if you keep smoking, you'll end up with lung cancer, laryngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer, and bladder cancer." Qian Yuanqiu threw the breath freshener at him and said with disgust.

"I've started to quit smoking, and this is my last revelry." Takeshita obediently sprayed some air freshener.

Afterwards, he complained about the weird things he encountered during the investigation. Qian Yuanqiu listened to his complaints, took out two portions of instant rice from the refrigerator, put them in the microwave, heated them up, poured some soy sauce on them, and served them out.
