In Fuuto: Starting as a Kamen Rider 01

Page 5

This movement was so subtle that it was almost imperceptible, a stark contrast to her usual composure.

The small blue diamond-shaped module she wore on her earlobe was now shimmering with a bright blue light.

The frequency of the light was subtly synchronized with the rhythm of the red monocular of the Ark satellite shining.

This means that she has successfully established an unbreakable highest-level link with the Yark satellite, which is tens of thousands of kilometers away.

She became Ark's direct command port on Earth, and an extension of Ark's will.

Ark's massive computing power has now become a resource that she can mobilize.

"Yaksatellite, data link successful."

Izzy spoke again, her voice still steady, but the words she spoke heralded the beginning of a new era.

"The entire data network of Fengdu has been fully connected."

"Initiate information integration and in-depth analysis."

On the main screen, the previously relatively smooth data stream suddenly surged the moment the device connected.

Countless symbols, codes, images, and texts representing various types of information are being refreshed rapidly, like a flood breaking through a dam.

Their sheer number and speed are enough to instantly shut down any human brain.

Su Chen stared at the spectacular waterfall of data, his eyes showing no confusion but rather sparkling with excitement.

A faint yet confident smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

This is the efficiency he wanted; this is the power that technology should have.

“Iz”.

He spoke, and his voice was exceptionally clear in the control room filled with the noise of data streams.

"Based on biological data samples of the attackers collected amidst the chaos at the press conference."

"Combined with the residual psychopathic features we extracted from the 'Lava' memory."

"Find out the complete details of the attacker hiding in the shadows."

His tone was calm, as if he were simply outlining a routine task rather than tracking down a dangerous criminal.

Traditional investigation methods require the police to conduct extensive interviews and investigations, collect trivial physical evidence, and then go through a long and tedious process of logical reasoning.

Every step can go wrong, wasting a lot of manpower, resources, and precious time.

But for Su Chen, who possesses super artificial intelligence like Yak and global data capture capabilities, this is a different story.

All of this is just a simple math problem, a program for filtering and matching massive amounts of data.

Complex human nature and motivations seem to become quantifiable and calculable in the face of cold data.

The moment the command was given, the red single eye of the Yark satellite shone even brighter.

At this moment, the tens of thousands of public surveillance cameras in Fengdu City seemed to become extensions of Yake.

Surveillance footage from countless angles flooded into Ark's database like a tidal wave.

Personal browsing history, social media posts, online shopping records, electronic payment information... all the fragments scattered in the digital world are rapidly integrated.

Household registration information, medical records, travel information, interpersonal networks... these personal privacy records, which were originally protected by layers of encryption, are almost useless in front of Yake.

With computing power that surpasses the limits of human comprehension, it rapidly integrates, cross-compares, filters features, and logically eliminates these massive amounts of information.

Massive amounts of data are compressed and refined through invisible computation, ultimately pointing to a single answer.

This process doesn't even take ten seconds.

In just a few breaths.

The raging data stream on the main screen suddenly stopped refreshing, replaced by a concise and clear analysis report.

At the top of the report is a clear photo of a person's face, along with detailed personal information.

Izzy slowly turned around, faced Su Chen, and bowed slightly again.

Her movements were so perfect, like something out of a textbook, without a single flaw, which made her seem even more inhuman.

In her signature, unchangingly cold tone, she reported a fact that would shock or even chill any person in the know.

"Reporting to the President."

"Based on the comparison of biological data and the analysis of mental fluctuation characteristics, the target has been identified."

"The attacker at the press conference, the original owner of the 'Lava' memory."

"The real criminal."

Iz paused for a moment, seemingly waiting for Su Chen to fully concentrate.

Then, she uttered a name.

"It's Mariina Tsumura."

"According to the information, she is your publicly acknowledged...girlfriend."

The contrast and irony between the identity of this "girlfriend" and the identity of the "criminal" is extreme.

Upon hearing this conclusion, Su Chen's expression remained completely unchanged.

There was no surprise, no anger, not even the slightest bit of unexpectedness.

It was as if this outcome was already within his expectations, or rather, as if it were completely irrelevant.

He simply stared calmly at Marina's photo on the screen, his gaze deep and unfathomable, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts at that moment.

The complexity and unpredictability of human nature seemed to him to be nothing more than a string of data that could be analyzed.

"It really was her..."

He muttered to himself, his voice so soft it was almost inaudible, carrying a strange undertone.

It might be mockery, it might be understanding, or it might be both.

He slowly raised his hand and turned off the central screen in front of him.

The control room returned to its usual quiet, humming tone, punctuated only by the low rumble of the servers.

"It seems it's time to have a formal 'business negotiation'."

Su Chen's lips curled back into that enigmatic smile.

The words "business negotiation" carried a cold, unyielding tone when he uttered them.

This is clearly not going to be a friendly meeting.

Without saying anything more, he turned around, started walking, and headed towards the exit of the research institute.

The high-quality black trench coat he wore drew a sharp, clean arc behind him as he moved.

Like a sharp blade about to be drawn, it carries determination and sharpness.

Iz followed silently behind him, maintaining a fixed distance, like a most loyal shadow.

The heavy alloy doors of the underground research institute slowly closed behind them.

A special "visit" to the "criminal" is about to begin.

But the night in Fengdu is just beginning.

The real storm may only be brewing.

Chapter Five: A formidable enemy, the knight who shakes the city of Wind!

Under the cover of night, the neon lights of the city, like a mesmerizing tide, permeate every inch of the cold steel jungle.

The bizarre and dazzling billboards flickered, reflecting the hurried passersby whose faces bore the weariness and numbness unique to the city.

The screech of brakes ripped through the tranquility of the neighborhood beneath a brightly lit up luxury apartment building.

Su Chen got out of his custom black sedan.

The sound of the car door closing was dull, like some kind of announcement.

He looked up, his gaze precisely fixed on a lit window on the 15th floor.

That was Marina Tsumura's lair.

Izzy's voice came through the miniature communicator in his ear, cold and efficient.

"The target, Marina Tsumura, has been confirmed to be living in room 1503 through cross-referencing with the Ark database."

Yes, Yak.

That specter of artificial intelligence, the true core of Zero One Technology, is omniscient and omnipotent.

Su Chen did not choose to call the police.

The police in Futo City are far too powerless to deal with this level of "abnormality".

He also did not notify the Narumi Detective Agency, which was always one step behind.

In Zero One Technology's blueprint, dopant users are not simply criminals.

They are walking data packets, valuable experimental materials, and stepping stones to higher technological fields.

Each dopant holds the secret to the integration of Gaia Memory with the human body.

These are the secrets that Su Chen wants.

He straightened the collar of his expensive suit, his eyes behind his glasses deep and unwavering.

Security in the apartment lobby was practically non-existent; Izzy had already disabled the entire building's surveillance system.

The elevator ascended smoothly, the numbers silently ticking.

"Ding."

The 15th floor has arrived.

Su Chen stepped out of the elevator, his leather shoes echoing clearly on the polished marble floor as he walked step by step toward his goal.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Boom, boom, boom."
