Chapter 1237 - Chapter 1237 Chapter 838 Collective Unconsciousness_2
Chapter 1237: Chapter 838 Collective Unconsciousness_2 Chapter 1237: Chapter 838 Collective Unconsciousness_2 At that point, Akechi Goro’s eyes turned bloodshot as he clenched his teeth tightly.
“By then, I will tell him face to face, ‘I am your son! The son you abandoned!’ I want to see what kind of expression will appear on Shido Masayoshi’s face then!”
“………”
Well, Duanmu Ai couldn’t understand Akechi Goro’s reasoning at all. What was he trying to say?
Never mind, it didn’t matter, it had nothing to do with her.
“What does Shido Masayoshi want to do by collecting cognitive Ke-studies?”
“I think at first he might not have thought about what specifically to do with cognitive Ke-studies; before that, Shido Masayoshi just treated cognitive Ke-studies as a boring research for scamming funding. It wasn’t until my appearance that he changed his mind. To prevent the research from leaking out, he stopped further studies on cognitive Ke-studies and even plotted to eliminate the main researchers at the time.”
“I see.”
Hearing Akechi Goro’s explanation, Duanmu Ai finally understood the situation. In simple terms, Shido Masayoshi himself did not originally believe in the existence of cognitive Ke-studies and Subspace. However, after the appearance of Akechi Goro, and using this world to eliminate several of Shido Masayoshi’s enemies, he believed in it all. To prevent such methods from leaking out, Shido Masayoshi used his power to forcibly stop the research on cognitive Ke-studies and killed the researchers at the time to prevent leaks…
Uh? Wait a minute.
“You mentioned the midnight TV–that means, the victims are not just the Shanye Anchor and them? Were there people who died before this too?”
“This…”
Upon Duanmu Ai’s questioning, Akechi Goro hesitated for a moment, and Duanmu Ai did not hesitate to once again raise War Hammer and aim at his left hand.
“Wait, wait! I really don’t remember, I remember hearing that rumor, and indeed watching TV during a rainy midnight, but… whether someone really died, I really can’t recall!”
“If you did see the midnight TV, then the people who appeared must have already been killed, right?”
“I really don’t know!”
At this moment, Akechi Goro shook his head like a rattle drum.
“Believe me, I really don’t remember! I can’t even recall where I heard about the rumor of the midnight TV from!”
“Wasn’t it from a classmate?”
“It might… maybe… I’m not really sure…”
The confusion on Akechi Goro’s face was genuine, which was not surprising. Similar urban legends, Duanmu Ai also heard several of them from those girls’ mouths every day, but nobody bothered to record them.
This is strange…
Although she said that, Duanmu Ai still felt something was off. Previously, in Yukiko Amagi’s castle, he had talked with Ming Shangyou and Satonaka Chie among others about it. Simply put, the rumor was the same–on a rainy night, you turn on the TV and someone’s figure appears, and then a few days later, that person dies.
According to them, the reason they came to investigate this matter was because they had watched midnight TV after hearing the rumor, and they found Koji Nishi’s figure, and then two days later, Koji Nishi died. It was from that time on that they started to take the rumor seriously, and when Yukiko Amagi–their friend’s figure appeared in the midnight TV, they naturally could not ignore it anymore.
And Akechi had just confessed that the case of Shanye Anchor was actually his doing. Because Shanye Anchor was also a mistress of a certain politician, and that politician was in direct opposition to Shido Masayoshi, Shido Masayoshi thus instructed Akechi Goro to eliminate Shanye Anchor. Thus, the public’s attention to her death would naturally rise, and suspicion would fall on the politician, causing him to lose public support and his current position.
