A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 1234

Chapter 1234: Chapter 837: Go in and Take a Look Chapter 1234: Chapter 837: Go in and Take a Look As it turned out, Duanmu Ai had indeed guessed correctly this time.

It only took a day and a half for Lumiaire to bring Duanmu Ai the good news–sure enough, the guy inside the government who had taken the cognitive research was none other than Lion Tengu Seigi.

Not only that, but she also brought Duanmu Ai an unexpected discovery–Yugong Lian had once been sentenced to residential surveillance in another place for an assault crime, and the victim at the time was this very Lion Tengu Seigi.

Hey, isn't that a coincidence?

In fact, after confirming this, Duanmu Ai was ready to take action. However, before doing so, she wanted to test out her own idea–yes, Duanmu Ai also planned to learn from the Gang of Thieves, to enter the other's psychic world, and to find the other's soul projection. Only, she wasn't planning to brainwash the target like the Gang of Thieves; she wanted to try squeezing more information and data out of these people's soul projections instead.

You see, this is the psychological world of the soul, which means whatever the soul projection knows, the person definitely knows too. In the real world, if you wanted to investigate and interrogate someone, it would involve a lot of trouble, and there's a good chance of alerting the prey.

But interrogating someone in the psychic world, that's a different story. Even if you beat the soul projection within the psychic world to a pulp, it's likely the real person wouldn't feel a thing.

This way, future investigations would be much simpler; there's simply no need to investigate in reality. You could just run straight to the Subspace and give the target's psychic projection a good beating until they spill the beans, right?

Not to mention, since the psychic world is a personal space, others can't interfere. This means you could even hang and beat the soul projection in their psychic world until they confess without anyone to stop you!

Oh my, when you think about it, this skill is just too awesome!

Of course, this is all theory. Whether it works or not, you only have to try it to find out.

As for how to enter another's psychic world, Duanmu Ai had already made guesses. Whether it was Yukiko Amagi or Kujikawa Rise, their psychic worlds were located where they were, which means as long as you find where Lion Tengu Seigi is, you could easily enter his psychic world.

Indeed, just like that.

“Hmm… It really is quite easy.”

Standing on the deck, looking at the huge cruise ship before her, Duanmu Ai whistled. After having Lumiaire lock onto the location of Lion Tengu Seigi, she had directly entered Isekai through the TV. She then arrived at Lion Tengu Seigi's location in Isekai–National Congress.

When Duanmu Ai found the doorplate with “Lion Tengu Seigi” written on it, pushed the door open, and walked in, the next instant, she appeared in Lion Tengu Seigi's psychic world.

“I must say, this psychic world is quite exaggerated.”

Musing to herself, Duanmu Ai looked around. Below her feet was a huge cruise ship, outside was a city submerged by seawater, and the main body of the ship was the National Congress… Although she wasn't sure what he was thinking, his ambition was evident at a glance.

Not that it had much to do with her, though.

“Okay, let's get ready to act.”

Saying so, Duanmu Ai walked to the front door, then kicked it open and walked in.

Inside the hall, there were men and women dressed to the nines. Of course, Duanmu Ai knew these people weren't real; they were just people within Lion Tengu Seigi's cognition. Much like dream apparitions, then, she paid them no heed and headed straight inside.

However, just then… suddenly, a voice came through.

“What a surprise, I didn't expect you to show up here.”

Along with the voice, a figure suddenly dropped from above, landing in front of Duanmu Ai. It was a man in a peculiar white suit, wearing a bird-like red mask. He looked Duanmu Ai up and down, then said in a low voice.

“Hmm, by the looks of it… you must not be a guest, right?”

“Who are you?”

“Oh? Don't you recognize me?”

Upon hearing Duanmu Ai's query, the man chuckled, then reached out his hand to remove the mask, revealing a face that was, at best, passable.

“Hello, Miss Duanmu, I really didn't expect to meet you here.”

“Akechi… Are you the real one, appearing here?”

“Of course.”

The man–Akechi Goro–gave a slight smile.

“On the contrary, I'm surprised that you found this place. Seems like you know it all, huh?”

“More or less. Judging by your appearance, are you Lion Tengu Seigi's lackey?”

“That's not a nice way to put it.”

Akechi Goro waved his hand.

“I only have a cooperative relationship with Mr. Seigi. He just occasionally asks me to deal with some people who stand in his way.”

“Like Kujikawa Rise?”

“…You do seem to know quite a bit.”

Akechi Goro's expression darkened, his previous smile vanishing completely.

“That's right, just as you think, I am the perpetrator of the entire serial killings. Ah, but don't misunderstand, I didn't kill anyone by hand, I merely brought them before another self. If they could accept the filth and darkness in their hearts, then they probably wouldn't have died, right? So from this point of view, I didn't strictly commit murder. Of course, Miss Kujikawa was simply unlucky. Who made her the most famous idol now? If she were to die in the serial killings, it would obviously increase dissatisfaction with the current government. At that time, Mr. Seigi would step in. And I would appear at the right time, in the role of the famous detective, to find the culprit and end it all.”
