20th day, 17: 00
The billboard lit up automatically according to the preset time, illuminating the car below. Through the satellite, every movement was captured on the screen of the headquarters.
Moments later, the image froze on the screen. A young man with a youthful look on his face looked very handsome. His dark eyes stared at the screen.
Tokugawa Jiuxing watched for a long time before shifting his gaze away from the screen. "Are the results of the genetic analysis out?"
The bullet recovered from the battlefield was indeed stained with Pei Zi Yun's blood. The bullet was sent to the laboratory immediately for DNA analysis. The results would be reported to various departments, and Tokugawa Jiuxing naturally had the authority to do so.
The female scientist was dressed in a white robe and was holding a stack of documents. She adjusted her glasses and replied, "The results are out. We have analyzed all 26 pairs of chromosomes, and the results show that Yamada Shinji's genes are the same as a normal human's. We have also checked the DNA of the Yamada family, and there are no abnormalities.
"However, we can only analyze it in the physical layer. There is nothing we can do about it in the spiritual layer.
"However, the supernatural analysis data has proven that spiritual power can produce certain changes in the genetic layer. However, the genetic layer still has to obey the laws of physics. As long as the body is still a carbon-based lifeform, it will be impossible for it to resist bullets.
"As for Yamada Shinji's body of steel, we can only understand that it is resonating with the physical layer, which allows him to defend against attacks.
"Tokugawa Jiuxing, it is theoretically impossible to find such power in the genetic layer. Furthermore, even if there is divine power in the genes, the genes of a god cannot surpass the laws of energy.
"Using cells to nurture a god, in theory, one has to obtain the corresponding energy, not the other way around.
"… Thank you for your hard work!"
It was not easy to obtain Pei Zi Yun's DNA sample. Initially, he had high hopes, but he did not discover anything substantial. This was disappointing. Everything was back to square one. Tokugawa Jiuxing spoke reluctantly as he watched her walk away. He was unwilling to give up, but there was nothing he could do. He rubbed his chin with his right hand and fell into deep thought.
Tokugawa Jiuxing was a man of science, and he understood the female scientist's words. Even if one day he obtained the genes of a god, and the genes did indeed contain power that could be used for cloning, the prerequisite was that he had an energy reserve that surpassed that of a god.
If it was equivalent to an atomic bomb, it would be fine. If it was equivalent to a sun, then in order for the cells of a god to develop, he would have to consume one or more suns.
But, he really couldn't accept it!
Seeing that Tokugawa was silent for a long time, a young man in a kimono nodded slightly. "Our target this time isn't considered to be very dangerous. At most, he's a Class C. Is it appropriate to ask Yamada Shinichi to take action? Yamada Shinichi can be considered a trump card in our hands. "
"Most importantly, we can't order them around. We have to pay them handsomely."
The shogunate's intelligence network was very long. For the convenience of communication and confidentiality, the enemy was divided into three grades, A, B, and C. Enemies that could be controlled, B Enemies that were troublesome, and A Enemies that were difficult to control. Yamada Shinji was probably above A Level.
As for ordinary people, they did not belong to the list of ABC, ABC, and two military police officers could capture and kill them.
Tokugawa Hisashi nodded. "Very suitable. We need to truly observe Yamada Shinji's strength and the way he handles things. No, we need to include the two girls as well. We need more data to build a data model. Only then can we truly understand the source of Yamada Shinji's powerful strength and know ourselves as well as the enemy."
"Yamada Shinji's stance is still unclear. It's hard to say if he'll be a friend or foe in the future. No matter what, this power is a huge threat to us, and we need to be prepared."
Tokugawa Hisashi walked to the glass wall and looked at the bustling city through the one-way glass. He said plainly, "No matter what, this is our world. It's a world built by us ordinary people."
The young man in the kimono did not speak but lowered his head in agreement.
The car arrived at a coffee shop. By then, it was already night time. Actually, many people had gone to the izakaya. At this time of the year, getting drunk was more useful than having fun. Hence, the small coffee shop was empty except for a few employees who had nothing better to do.
"Is it here?" Pei Zi Yun looked at the people in the coffee shop through the glass wall as he asked.
"Yes, according to the data, he comes here every day." The chauffeur was wearing a worker's uniform. Her name was Rinako, but she had been specially trained. She nodded lightly.
She stood up and opened the door for Pei Zi Yun. Pei Zi Yun lowered his head in thanks before bringing Hayakawa Naomi and Kuwako into the coffee shop.
"Welcome!" Immediately, the waitress smiled and bowed, "Hello, please come in. What would you like?"
Pei Zi Yun sat down and looked around the shop. The shop wasn't big and only had seven seats. The atmosphere was warm and cozy.
Hayakawa Naomi liked the place as soon as she walked in. She said excitedly, "It's really nice, Yamada-kun. I've always liked this place. It's just that I don't have much pocket money."
Pei Zi Yun smiled and said, "Naomi-chan and Kuwako are both working now. You can come if you want."
Hayakawa Naomi smiled and said, "You're right!"
Kuwako had already picked up the menu and looked at it carefully. He realized that the prices weren't too expensive. Steampunk (380 RMB), Cappuccino (480 RMB), V60 (450 RMB), Iced Coffee (400 RMB), and Single Coffee (1280 RMB).
"Single Coffee, Milk Ice Cream, and Doughnuts!" Kuwako looked at Pei Zi Yun. Pei Zi Yun didn't even look at the menu and nodded his head in agreement. The waitress smiled and bowed before retreating. After ten minutes, everything was served.
The three of them started enjoying the food and chatted casually.
Looking at Pei Zi Yun's smiling face, Hayakawa Naomi blushed and bit her lips. She was overjoyed. When everyone was almost done, Pei Zi Yun turned to his next target.
In the corner of the cafe, a skinny young man was writing on a piece of paper. He had only ordered a 380 RMB coffee. In modern countries, in public places like cafes, hotels, fast food restaurants, etc., there would be waitresses asking if you wanted anything. Even if you only ordered one cup, as long as it didn't disturb others, they wouldn't chase you away.
Pei Zi Yun took a sip of coffee and smiled. At this point, a customer walked in. A gust of wind blew past, causing the manuscript to fall onto the table.
Pei Zi Yun picked up the manuscript and looked at it.
The young man noticed it and hurriedly stood up and bowed, "Ah, did I disturb you? I'm really sorry to have caused you trouble. "
Pei Zi Yun put down the manuscript and asked, "Are you a writer?"
"I can't be considered a writer. I'm just someone who wanted to walk the path of literature, but didn't succeed. However, for Kuwako's sake, I will work hard." The young man said.
Japanese writers had a high status and were respected, but it wasn't easy. Pei Zi Yun nodded, "Is that so? I took the liberty to look at your manuscript. I'm very interested in literature. Can I continue reading?"
"Sure." This was a very presumptuous request, but the young man readily agreed. He probably needed readers to encourage him.
Pei Zi Yun called for another cup of coffee for the young man and ordered some snacks, "Please take this as your reading fee. If not, I'm really sorry."
"How can I accept this!" The young man was about to reject when his stomach growled. He hadn't eaten for a long time and was starving. He bowed to thank Pei Zi Yun.
The coffee and snacks were served quickly, and Pei Zi Yun was reading seriously.
At this point, Pei Zi Yun was pleasantly surprised. The writing style was exquisite, the words were meaningful, and the content was not bad. What was good about it was that it was full of spirituality. It was just that many young people tended to be pretentious, which affected the quality of reading. Furthermore, the content was a little empty.
Now, the economic situation was bad, and the purchasing power of readers was declining. In order to survive, the publishing house had to start from a high starting point, and had strict requirements.
Although Pei Zi Yun didn't go to White Rock Institute Publishing House, and didn't care about its operations, he had a basic understanding of the situation. After reading it, Pei Zi Yun gently placed the paper on the table and said, "Your standard is not bad. I think it's worth publishing."
When the young man heard this, he said, "Please correct me!"
Pei Zi Yun smiled and said, "The entire novel is full of ideas, but there are some flaws in the way it is handled. The mood is too complicated. Look, it's a little artificial."
"And this part of the story is completely unnecessary. It interrupts the flow of the plot."
As he said this, Pei Zi Yun took the pen and crossed out a few lines, "What do you think?"
The young man took the paper and read it again. Gradually, his expression changed. He had mixed feelings. Could it be that even a young man was better than him?
Just as he was thinking, Pei Zi Yun said, "You're thinking about the value of literature in your work?"
"In my opinion, the most basic attribute of literature is its readability."
"Secondly, it's its time. This time is divided into two types. One is to reflect and convey the richest information of the era."
"Works that can be passed down through the ages are mostly related to the information of the era. For example, The Tale of Genji, The Pillow of Kusanagi, The Diary of the Izanagi Clan, etc!"
The young man nodded. The characters in The Tale of Genji were meticulous, the writing was elegant, and the plot was complicated. It had a great impact on Japanese literature, but it carried a lot of historical information of the Heian period, which was the main reason for its longevity.
"However, this is due to the lack of records in ancient times. In fact, objectively speaking, because of the spread of information and the storage of information, literature's ability to reflect the times has been declining."
"Moreover, because of the market and the pursuit of pure literature, a large number of readers and amateur writers have been lost, especially the young. Along with this, the aging population has become marginalized."
"But no matter what, participating in life, enriching oneself, and grasping the spirit of the times are still necessary."
Hearing this, the young man seemed lost. After a long time, he nodded. "What you say makes sense. That is indeed the case. But what is the spirit of the times now?"
"Perhaps … it's dreams!" Pei Zi Yun said. "In the current era, people realize that reality cannot be changed. The solidification of social class is hard to break. Hence, they place their hopes on dreams. Novels can bring people dreams and hope. It's a land of peach blossoms where fishes grow and eat. It's a distant yet always existing shore in the ocean."
As Pei Zi Yun spoke, he lowered his gaze and saw the faint yet firm demonic aura that was attached to the young man.
