Chapter 126: Principle (1)
A mountain of papers piled up—a chaotic testament to the tireless efforts of a high-ranking executive with an unnervingly overpowered cheat-like ability to go unnoticed. Six had spent years collecting every scrap of information she could find.
Of course, Six wasn’t an intelligence officer or an administrative clerk who could neatly organize reports. The documents she gathered were an incoherent jumble, filled with scattered notes, making them incredibly difficult to read and even harder to interpret.
I glanced at the boss, who was buried in the pile of papers, and spoke.
“I’ll let the AI organize these. It’s likely we already know some of this information, and once sorted—”
“No.”
“...Excuse me? But, Boss, reading through all this on your own—”
“Can you be certain it’s safe?”
“...What?”
“Someone like your assistant, the Meister, who can control AI. Or someone who can sense when their information has been leaked.”
The boss’s words made me fall silent. The possibility of another Meister existing seemed remote, but the chance wasn’t zero. Nothing in this world is ever truly 0%. Even if it wasn’t an identical ability, there might be a similar one with comparable effects.
Seeing my hesitation, the boss continued while sifting through the papers.
“Only those who are aware of Six’s existence—that is, those freed from the recognition-altering effect—can read these documents, correct? Even if someone with that kind of ability exists, they wouldn’t know their information has been leaked.”
