Chapter 797: Caochi Liangzi's Technical Exchange
Caochi Liangzi's experiment was closely related to the research on “Artificial Organs,” and she herself was a direct participant in the experiment as a test subject.
Therefore, Caochi Liangzi had always maintained a close relationship with the Hospital.
Although she wasn't directly collaborating with Doctor Heaven Canceller, through her connections in the medical field, she managed to find this Hospital and the whereabouts of the “legendary Kiyama Harumi.”
That's right, because she once spearheaded the “Imaginary Hand” incident, Kiyama Harumi became a “legend” in the industry.
Also because of this past record, Kiyama Harumi's personal information was classified as A-grade or higher confidential, making it difficult for ordinary people to access.
“So,” Kiyama Harumi received the young girl who visited late at night in her office, “Is there something you need, Caochi Liangzi?”
By the way, Kiyama Harumi had already obtained the initial “Ability Body Crystal” sample and had the full assistance of Haruue Erii, ready to conduct experiments at any time to completely save her students.
However, precisely because victory was within reach, she became even more cautious.
To ensure everything was foolproof, and also to avoid triggering the “Chaotic Open” phenomenon again—which was also a requirement from Lin Wuming and the Anti-Skill—Kiyama Harumi and Heaven Canceller were re-adjusting the experimental and treatment plans.
Under these circumstances, Kiyama Harumi was actually unwilling to be distracted by other matters.
If it were anyone else, Kiyama Harumi probably wouldn't even meet them, would she?
But Caochi Liangzi was a middle school student, the same age as her students.
“I've heard of you,” Kiyama Harumi looked at the somewhat special girl in front of her, memories in her mind activated, “That genius girl, and you certainly did some quite bold and reckless experiments.”
Examining the patches of varying shades on the girl's face, Kiyama Harumi then said self-deprecatingly, “But I'm not in a position to judge others... All right, tell me your purpose. Within my capabilities, I will help you.”
After a moment of hesitation, Caochi Liangzi finally spoke: “I am designing a system that uses the human brain and the AIM Diffusion Field to build a special network to replace supercomputers...”
... Kiyama Harumi stopped what she was doing and quietly looked at the girl in front of her.
“In the process of collecting data, I found...” Caochi Liangzi was a bit nervous, but still forced herself to continue, “Teacher Kiyama Harumi also created a similar system, so...”
“You want to borrow the ‘Imaginary Hand’ system?” Kiyama Harumi asked.
“No,” Caochi Liangzi shook her head, “I just have some questions I want to consult and confirm with you... Teacher, you can consider it a technical exchange.”
Disregarding her age, and judging solely by her academic achievements, Caochi Liangzi was indeed qualified for a technical exchange.
Seeing that the other party did not intend to directly borrow the “Imaginary Hand” system, Kiyama Harumi breathed a slight sigh of relief and lowered her guard.
—She did indeed retain a backup of the “Imaginary Hand,” but this matter must never be exposed.
In other words, if she wanted to, Kiyama Harumi could regain “Multi-Talent Ability” at any time!
Of course, it would be much weaker than the peak “Multi-Talent Ability” from last year, but at least it could give her the power to protect herself.
This was a trump card Kiyama Harumi kept for herself, and a secret that must be hidden.
One must know that although the current Kiyama Harumi had gained a certain degree of “freedom,” she was essentially in a state of “probation” or “bail.”
If she were caught making any mistake, she could be arrested and sent back to prison at any time.
Her students were about to fully recover, and the beautiful life she longed for was within reach—at this critical moment, Kiyama Harumi did not want any complications.
In fact, if not for her respect for this genius girl, Kiyama Harumi would have already ordered her to leave.
“Please rest assured, I have no intention of coveting ‘Imaginary Hand’ or ‘Multi-Talent Ability’.” Caochi Liangzi was intelligent and had done her homework before visiting, so she naturally knew Kiyama Harumi's situation and her concerns. “I also have no ambition to do bad things; I genuinely just want to calculate the answer to a difficult problem.”
Moreover, due to the peculiar nature of that “difficult problem,” Caochi Liangzi did not want too many people to know the detailed specifics, so she did not want to apply to use the “Tree Diagram Designer”...
Of course, in reality, it would be very difficult for her and her research institution to even obtain the right to use the “Tree Diagram Designer” in the first place.
One must know that while the “Tree Diagram Designer” was powerful, it couldn't handle the sheer number of projects Academy City needed to process; everyone wanted to use this supercomputer.
Therefore, research institutions without much background or with less urgent research projects could only wait patiently in line—and it was highly probable they would never get their turn.
The reason Kiyama Harumi repeatedly applied for the right to use the “Tree Diagram Designer” back then was ultimately because she used to be Kihara Gensei's assistant, subconsciously overlooking the difficulty of applying for the “Tree Diagram Designer” and thinking it was a simple matter.
As for the current Caochi Liangzi, from the very beginning, she was self-aware enough not to hold out hope, and instead sought an alternative path.
“Also,” Caochi Liangzi continued, “the problem I want to solve... is quite obscure. I've reviewed relevant data, and currently, there seems to be no research records in that field. Therefore, even if I obtained the right to use the ‘Tree Diagram Designer,’ I wouldn't know where to start.”
In other words, what Caochi Liangzi wanted to calculate was not the answer to a specific problem, but rather the problem itself was part of what needed to be calculated.
“So, what exactly do you want to calculate?” Kiyama Harumi couldn't help but ask.
Pressing her lips together, Caochi Liangzi said, “The method to completely eliminate souls.”
Kiyama Harumi was speechless for a moment. When she came to her senses, she couldn't help but formulate her thoughts—if she didn't know the academic research achievements of the girl in front of her, she would surely think she was talking nonsense, right?
Whether “souls” truly exist or not—this itself is a proposition still under debate.
Now, suddenly someone comes out saying they want to eliminate souls, it's truly...
And even if we take a step back and assume “souls” really exist, Caochi Liangzi's approach of “eliminating souls” could in no way be called “harmless,” could it?
In fact, directly eliminating a soul could be considered the fastest way to kill someone.
“Please rest assured, Teacher Kiyama,” Caochi Liangzi said, “I won't use it to harm others—in a sense, what I want to eliminate... is myself.”
“What exactly is going on?” Kiyama Harumi frowned, leaning forward, looking at the girl in front of her with growing concern.
“Actually,” when she decided to seek out Kiyama Harumi, Caochi Liangzi had prepared to reveal everything, “I have a ‘clone’...”
