Scholar's Advanced Technological System Chapter 1514 – Crazy

Chapter 1514: Crazy

“I found the thing you wanted.”

Sitting in the office, Xing Bian looked at the holographic screen floating on the desktop. When he heard this through the call, he was stunned.

After a long time, he snapped back to reality and calmly said, “Found the thing… What do you mean?”

“Exactly what it means, you wanted a clue about the ALPHA virus,” Lu Zhou said concisely in the video window. “It is impossible to defend against this virus programmatically, but I found a key witness to the ALPHA virus…”

Key witness?

Xing Bian’s eyebrow twitched fiercely. For a moment, he couldn’t digest the amount of information in this sentence.

Although he was the one who asked Lu Zhou to assist their task force in investigating the ALPHA virus, he did not expect that this academic leader would actually assist them in this way.

After taking a deep breath, Xing Bian asked seriously, “Who is the witness? Where is he now?”

“It’s not easy to say on the phone. I’ll give you an address. You better come as soon as possible… Because I’m not sure if he will wait here peacefully.”

Xing Bian immediately said, “I’ll come over right away!”

After writing down the address, he immediately hung up the phone and contacted the people in the operations division. The roaring alarm bell broke out of the Security Bureau’s garage less than a minute later.

In just five minutes, three or four police cars passed halfway through Shanghai and stopped at the entrance of Morinaga’s house.

Xing Bian closed the door of the car and walked to the side of the iron door. He took out a compass-like instrument from his hand and scanned the door.

After frowning, he then looked at Shi Jin, who was already waiting next to him, and ordered.

“Begin entering.”

“Yes, sir!”

After receiving instructions from Captain Xing, Shi Jin nodded and made a breakthrough gesture to the officer next to him. Then he took off the pistol safety switch and followed the two heavily armed officers in.

Taking into account the potential threat of the ALPHA virus, the officers dispatched this time were all elites; they were the kind of people who didn’t have any implants.

However, even though the group was ready to fight fiercely in the face of a dangerous terrorist organization like the foundation, the expected battle did not happen.

In other words, they arrived a moment too late.

“What the hell happened here?” Looking at the mess in the living room and the automatic weapons hanging from the ceiling, Shi Jin’s face was full of shock.

It was hard to imagine that in a place like the Yangtze River Delta city group, there was actually a heavy firepower system beyond the scope of light weapons in someone’s home.

There was a drop of cold sweat across his forehead. If his own party broke into this place, and if the owner of this room decided to resist his arrest with the weapons, they would have easily been beaten.

Combat experience was one thing, but this firepower was clearly beyond the scope of their experience.

“It seems that we are late.” Looking around here with a grim expression, Xing Bian’s eyes locked on the side door of the living room. He then said, “Team A go to the study room to collect evidence, Team B and I go to the garage.”

“Yes, sir!”

…

Morinaga was arrested.

When found, he was strapped to the hood of the car. He tried to save himself, such as trying to use his nails to break the plastic rope around his body.

Unfortunately, even if he rubbed off his entire nail, he wouldn’t be able to break the rope that bound him.

Although he was puzzled as to why people like Morinaga participated in the conspiracy of the foundation, the iron-clad evidence was in front of him. He quickly ordered the arrest of Morinaga in the name of endangering social security.

Even if he was not a high-level figure in the foundation, the weapons he deployed in his own home were enough to make him go to prison…

In the interrogation room.

Morinaga had puffy eyelids. He gloomily looked at Xing Bian and Shi Jin, who were sitting behind the glass window with the other agents.

Facing the interrogation of the Security Bureau, he said mockingly, “I won’t say anything, just give up.”

Xing Bian didn’t look at him. Instead, he looked at the doctor standing next to him and said, “Inject him with Veritaserum.”

The doctor nodded and took out a needle tube from the toolbox.

“Okay.”

The moment Morinaga saw this needle, there was a panic in his eyes, and he struggled on the chair.

“Don’t come over here.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!”

The screams of pigs dying were heard. Ignoring Morinaga’s struggle, the doctor calmly injected a needle into his vein before leaving the interrogation room with the toolbox.

Morinaga was furious. His eyes were bloodshot, but he quickly calmed down, and the breathing rhythm in his chest also became more stable.

However, his bloodshot pupils were crazier than before…

Looking at Morinaga sitting in the interrogation room, Xing Bian said with a cold expression, “So, what is going on with the ALPHA virus?”

Perhaps because the effect of the medicine had not fully kicked in, a trace of struggle flashed through Morinaga’s eyes.

However, this struggle did not last long.

After a long silence, he suddenly smiled and said.

“A virus designed for AI, especially robot memory… Give up. ALPHA has spread on the black market. Those who are far more criminally motivated than us will be even more adept at spreading the virus than us. At least 100,000 robots have been infected with it.”

“You…”

Clenching his fists tightly, Shi Jin looked at the punchable face. He stepped forward angrily, but he was stopped by Captain Xing.

“In fact, I have always wondered.” Xing Bian continued staring at Morinaga, who was sitting behind the table, as he said, “A person like you should be considered successful. Why did you choose to join a conspiracy group?”

“Conspiracy? You are ignorant.” A contemptuous look was reflected in his crazy eyes. Morinaga continued, “If you have heard the whispers from the Void, you would know.”

Shi Jin frowned and said, “Void whispers?”

Morinaga’s throat let out a dry laugh. “… The prophet heard it first, then shared it with me. And my long-cherished wish is to share the favor with others. Believers of the spirits of the universe on this planet, the powerful spiritual energy will bind us closely, and we will be omnipotent…”

Listening to this crazy description, Shi Jin didn’t know whether to show contempt or sympathy. He finally shook his head and murmured, “What a hopeless guy…”

Captain Xing, who was standing next to him, frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he said, “What does this have to do with the ALPHA virus?”

“Of course it is relevant.”

Morinaga’s smile suddenly had a trace of cruelty.

In a slow tone, he continued, “In a disaster, the lost lambs will seek sustenance in faith and find comfort in the spiritual world. Imagine once the cornerstone of modern society is shattered like pieces of tofu, the formerly trusted partner becomes a bloodthirsty tool for murder… Use your brain to guess what this world will be like.”

The interrogation room fell silent for a moment.

Many people involuntarily began to break out in cold sweat.

They thought The Spirit of The Universe Foundation was prepared to use the ALPHA virus as a threat to fulfill their evil demands, but they did not expect that they had no intention of negotiating from the beginning. They instead planned to bury this terrible virus in the prosperity of the 22nd century, then rise from the chaos, transitioning from underground to the surface.

Xing Bian’s expression gradually became cold.

“You guys made the virus?”

“We? Do you mean Dawn Technology? Hahahaha…” Morinaga said in a hoarse voice with a frantic smile, “Of course not… How did we get it? Ah, yes, I remembered it. The source code was bought from a group of space pirates. According to them, the virus was stolen from the Tiangong City technology laboratory, but who cares? It works.”

Shi Jin, who was standing in front of the glass window, asked harshly, “Space pirates? Which space pirates? Where are they?”

“It’s about 0.03 astronomical units from Ceres. Anyway, their base is nearby. I don’t know the specifics.” Morinaga said with a wild smile, “My mission has been completed. It was completed last year! Prepare to feel despair. You will soon realize the feeling of falling from the clouds into the abyss. Let me see how ugly you will be in your final last days.”

Seeing that Morinaga was in madness, the doctor standing beside Xing Bian frowned and said worriedly, “His mental condition is no longer suitable for continued interrogation… Or to increase the dose?”

“No, we already know the key clues. As for him…” Xing Bian thought for a while. He then continued, “Let’s keep him for now, I still have a lot of questions I want to ask.”

Captain Xing turned and walked towards the door. Shi Jin quickly followed his footsteps and said anxiously, “Captain, the situation is urgent, we must take immediate action! Morinaga revealed that this virus has spread to—”

“It doesn’t matter. Once the virus spreads, it doesn’t make much sense to investigate the spreader. The top priority now is to lock the ALPHA virus from the source.”

After a pause, he walked quickly toward the end of the corridor and continued with a cold expression, “After you go back to the office, write out the interrogation report. I will submit it to the higher-up departments.

“The rest is up to the First Fleet.”
