Black Pearl Bar.
"Ah hoo, long time no see, Lao Qin!"
Just glancing at the red-haired girl who was purring beside her, Gin withdrew his gaze.
Seeing Gin ignoring her, Shirakawa Yuki pursed her lips.
"Oh, why does the little guy have such an expression!"
At this time, a blond woman with blue eyes walked in from the door. Looking at Shirakawa Yuki's appearance, she couldn't help but tease her.
He patted Shirakawa Yuki's head and said dotingly: "Who made our child unhappy?"
Shirakawa Yuki didn't answer, looking at Gin beside him with a speechless expression.
"I said, Lao Qin, why don't you come to the bar every time you come to see us? I'm not yet a minor! It's going to have a bad influence if you tell me.
What if there is news another day? I have already thought about the headline. A red-haired underage girl frequently goes in and out of bars. Is this the distortion of human nature or the loss of morals? "
As she said that, she took a sip of the milk she had ordered before and complained: "And your bar management is too bad. You didn't stop me when I came in this time. Let me tell you, Lao Qin, we have to be a regular bar." , you can’t do this!”
Vodka on the side twitched his face and looked cautiously at his eldest brother, whose face was getting darker and darker.
Beside her, Belmod also covered her mouth and laughed. Did she know that Gin had specifically ordered all the bar owners not to stop her when they saw her?
Seeing Gin getting drunk once in a while, Belmod found it quite interesting.
Shirakawa Yuki kept talking with a small mouth here, but looking at Gin's face getting darker and darker, she felt that it was better to stop talking. It would be disrespectful to continue talking.
In an instant, she straightened her expression and looked at Gin seriously.
"Okay, Lao Qin, what's the mission for calling us here today?"
Looking at the serious-looking girl, Gin was really afraid that he would not be able to take a breath and be mad to death.
Glancing at Vodka aside, Vodka instantly understood what his boss meant after being his little brother for so many years.
After coughing twice, Vodka said: "It's like this. For certain purposes, we once cooperated with an outside software designer named Itakura Taku, hoping that he could help us design a software.
Tequila and Belmod were originally responsible for this matter, but now that Tequila is dead, the matter will be left to Hennessy and Belmod.
Mr. Itakura Taku is a little reluctant to help us. Now the organization needs you to make him compromise by any means, do you understand? "
Shirakawa Yuki touched his chin, "Itakura Taku? I seem to have heard of this name.
But since he doesn't cooperate, shouldn't the organization's custom be to get rid of him and then find another expert? "
Vodka explained: "It's like this. At present, it is difficult for us to find a more suitable candidate than him, so we still try our best to make him cooperate well."
Shirakawa Yuki nodded, indicating that he understood.
…
"Taku Itakura, 45 years old, used to be a CG special effects producer. After his eyesight weakened, he switched to a computer game system engineer. He likes to disappear for a period of time when the deadline for submission of game software is approaching. He has obsessive-compulsive disorder."
Looking at Itakura Taku's message, Shirakawa Yuki gradually remembered this person. It seemed that he claimed to be the guy who refused to cooperate with the black organization for the sake of all mankind!
At the traffic light, looking at Shirakawa Yuki in the passenger seat, Belmod raised his eyebrows, "What, do you have any ideas, little guy?"
Shirakawa Yuki nodded, "Well, this person has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and some minor changes can be easily discovered.
We just need to sneak into his room and slightly change the location of some things. If it doesn't work, he won't be able to stand it. Then we'll leave our contact information and we're done. "
After listening to her words, Belmod nodded, "I didn't expect that our ideas are very similar!"
Shirakawa Yuki smiled, and then asked curiously: "Sister Bei, what is this software for? Is it important to the organization? Why do you want us to go to such great lengths to force him to submit?"
Belmode's lips parted slightly, "We can be both of God and the we're trying to raise the dead against the stream of time."
"We are both gods and demons. We are trying to reverse the flow of time and bring the dead back to life!"
Shirakawa Yuki looked at Belmod who was driving, "Is it true that there is such a thing as reversing the flow of time and resurrecting the dead?"
Belmode chuckled and said, "Why, do you think it's unscientific?"
Shirakawa Yuki nodded, "Yes, this kind of thing always feels like something that only happens on TV."
Belmod said: "Then look at Cool Guy and that kid at home, haven't they also reversed the flow of time?"
Shirakawa Yuki was silent for a moment, and then said: "Even so, what does it have to do with Itakura Taku's software? Conan and the others are all caused by drugs."
Belmode shook his head, "You think too simply. What we have to do is not just to reverse the flow of time, but also to resurrect the dead.
It was clear that simple medicines could not do the trick. Do you know digital life? "
Shirakawa Yuki nodded, "New life forms created using computer media are artificial systems with natural life characteristics or behaviors."
Belmode nodded, "Yes, Itakura Taku's original software was a software that could compete with shogi masters, that is, artificial intelligence.
The organization is interested in this technology, or in other words, it sees the hope of digital life. If human consciousness can be connected to the computer, then the resurrection of the dead will be considered a success. "
Hearing this, Shirakawa Yuki fell into thinking.
When she was watching the anime, she was a little confused about the organization's desire for this software. After all, what could a piece of software have to do with resurrecting the dead?
Now it seems that digital life may be the purpose of organizations.
In this era, there has been an international research boom that uses non-biological media to create new life forms, that is, artificial intelligence.
Apart from Noah's Ark, which has not yet been made public, the closest thing is indeed Taku Itakura's shogi PK software, so it seems reasonable that the organization would find him.
Thinking about his reasons for considering the welfare of all mankind, Shirakawa Yuki felt that she might understand the truth of the matter.
It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive near Itakura Taku's studio.
Avoiding all surveillance cameras, As expected, Taku Itakura was not working in the studio at this time.
The door was pried open, leaving some traces deliberately.
Looking around at the layout of the entire studio, should I say that I am a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder?
Everything was placed in an orderly manner. After looking at the items in the room, Shirakawa Yuki finally selected the pen on the work table.
After slightly moving the pen five centimeters, Shirakawa Yuki clapped her hands with satisfaction, turned around, closed the door and left.
For a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder, these five centimeters are enough to make him feel scared, not to mention that the traces of her picking the lock have not been removed.
Take your time, you can't rush this kind of thing.
Back in the car, Belmod smiled and said, "You're back so soon. Are everything done?"
Shirakawa Yuki nodded, "Of course, don't look at who I am! I moved the position of his pen a little, and I'll just find time to do it again tomorrow."
The matter of digital life is a reasonable guess based on the content of the anime. After all, the anime says that the purpose of the black organization is to reverse the flow of time and resurrect the dead, but what does this have to do with a software?
After contacting an artificial intelligence that he had built before that was similar to AlphaGo and played chess, it was reasonable to guess that the organization wanted to develop digital life, so that the resurrection of the dead would be possible.
At the same time, in the 1980s, there was an international research craze on using non-biological media to create new life forms. This was also the approximate time period of the Conan world, so this move by the black organization was still possible. .
As for the part about threatening Itakura Taku, the original work was done by Tequila a year ago. It has been slightly changed here to make it more relevant to the protagonist.
