The shining Shoko Toyokawa

Maya turned to Xiaozhi next to her and asked, "Have you got any results from the data we asked the Moon to help analyze?"

"The big data analysis has preliminary results, and a more detailed analysis will take another 13 hours."

"Currently, these three areas are more suspicious—"

Xiaozhi projected the device on his tablet onto the communication screen.

It was a map of Sydney and surrounding areas.

"We retrieved most of the surveillance and dashcam data around Sydney over the past three months, as well as some personnel dispatch files from recent years, and found some 'invisible people' from them,"

"The 'invisible people' mentioned here don't really have any superpowers, but are elite individuals whose files are no longer updated or have abnormalities."

"For example, there is an officer who graduated from a prestigious military academy and has no blemishes on his resume, but has not been promoted or even transferred for several years.

Xiaozhi quickly explained,

"Or maybe engineers in the MS development field and their families suddenly received payments that far exceeded their previous salaries, or suddenly became rich and paid off all their mortgages, and so on."

"By analyzing their movements, we found these three suspicious locations on the moon—"

Xiaozhi pointed out the three small areas marked in red and introduced them.

The area tentatively designated as Zone A is located in the outer suburbs of Sydney, with lush vegetation and few people.

Area B is the exact opposite of Area A. It is located in the heart of a bustling city and is adjacent to a machinery and industrial park. It is a good place to build MS.

Area C is a quiet bay, although these important "invisible people" go there more often.

But taking a vacation at the beach seems to be a very reasonable thing to do?

"It's Area C,"

After Xiaozhi finished speaking, Maya didn't wait for others to discuss and stated her own conclusion.

Then comes the 'argument',

"The person who leaked the information about the cooperation between the two parties was probably America."

Her 'argument' is even more surprising than the result.

This is just like a pair of adulterers who are having an affair. Instead of being secretive, they seem to be afraid that others won't see them. They even spread the news in advance so that others can eavesdrop.

"What America wants isn't a stable partnership, but someone who can sabotage this cooperation plan. That's why they acted like they were determined to defend Area C during the day..."

Although she already had the answer, Maya's face did not show any relief.

"And we are good candidates,"

No matter what, being exploited by others is not a happy thing.

What's more, this 'person' is America.

"So we're just going to leave it alone?" Riki's voice rang out from the speaker, "and let Caius continue developing new mobile suits?"

"Do you think Caius knows about America's little trick?"

Maya didn't rush to answer yes or no.

Instead, I ask everyone this question, which is both easy and difficult to answer.

Some people think that Caius must know,

Some people think it is hard to say, after all, the world is just a huge makeshift team.

But Nina, who was beside Maya, understood what she wanted to say——

"It doesn't matter. Whether Caius knows it or not, he will only be 'unaware' until he masters the new technology."

"And the same goes for us. Whether we know America's plan or not, we can only pretend to be ignorant. Because we absolutely cannot sit idly by and watch Caius possess an overwhelming number of mobile suits..."

More dangerous than conspiracy is overt conspiracy.

Once a conspiracy is discovered by others, it loses its meaning.

But the open conspiracy is different. Even if it is discovered, the people who are deeply involved in it can only follow the established script.

It's like a cooking contestant who was criticized by the judges and then served a piece of "original" nine-turn large intestine.

The judges knew that what was served was 'shit', but they couldn't eliminate him if he didn't eat it.
