Lion Boy Justice, Cognitive Cheekology, Kirito Research Institute, Movie Time, late-night TV — there must be some connection between all of these.
So, Aili once again sought out Kirito Mikura and asked to meet the head of the Kirito Corporation. Her request was naturally granted. Soon, Aili met with Kirito Mikura's father, Kirito Takeji.
"Hello, Silver Witch."
Sitting behind the desk was a black-haired man in his forties or fifties. He had an eye patch over his left eye and looked very calm. He crossed his hands in front of him and stared at Aili.
"May I ask what business you have with me this time?"
"I'll get straight to the point."
Aili obviously had no interest in pleasantries.
"I just want to ask about 'Cognitive Cheekology'."
Hearing Aili's straightforward question, Kirito Takeji's expression suddenly changed, but he soon regained his calm.
"I didn't expect you to find this place so quickly … This is beyond my expectations. It seems that the reputation of the Silver Witch is well-deserved."
"I haven't been a Magician for years for nothing."
Aili leaned back in her chair and stared at Kirito Takeji.
"You're not going to say that you don't know anything, are you?"
"Of course not."
Kirito Takeji shook his head and took a deep breath.
"Since you've found me, I won't hide anything from you. But I don't actually know much …. Is that okay?"
In response to Kijou Takeharu's question, Aili simply gestured.
"Please."
"Very well. First, please take a look at this document."
While saying that, Kirito Takeji took out a document from the safe under him and handed it to Aili. Aili took the document and flipped through it. At the same time, Kirito Takeji also spoke.
"This matter started 13 years ago. At that time, the Holy Destroyer's Relic was discovered on Flux God Island. The management of the artificial island preserved it. At first, they didn't know what the Relic was used for. They only knew that it was a very mysterious thing. But after that, someone in the organization that was researching the Holy Destroyer's Relic suddenly developed a strange power that could summon some mysterious and powerful existences …. "
"You mean …. Persona?"
Hearing this, Aili raised an eyebrow, while Kijou Takeji nodded.
"After that, the management of the artificial island conducted an analysis of the Holy Destroyer's relic and found that it could connect to another world … the spiritual world. Do you understand what I mean?"
"The collective of all human unconsciousness — Araya Consciousness. Alright, it's not the first time I've heard of this."
"Exactly."
As he spoke, Kijou Takeji also seemed a little excited.
"When the management of the artificial island discovered this, they started 'cognitive psychology' — the research on the world that humans perceive, the nature of things that humans perceive, the connection with the inner spirit of humans, and the psychological level. The world in Shadow Time was, in fact, the world produced by the cognition of everyone on the 12th artificial island. I'm sure you've seen it for yourself, Miss Ailee. Those shadow monsters … are formed from the essence of human emotions, anger, sorrow, pain … "
Aili glanced over the documents in silence and raised her head.
"So, what was the work of the Kijou Research Institute?"
"At that time, 'cognitive psychology' was divided into several parts. They were the research on how the 'spiritual world' operates and affects reality, how to change other people's cognition, and how to artificially synthesize Persona. This was the mission of our Kijou Research Institute."
"Artificially synthesize Persona?"
Hearing this, Aili furrowed her brows, while Kijou Takeji nodded.
"That's right, Miss Aili. You should already know that a Persona is the manifestation of a person's inner essence. Their spirit and essence call out to the corresponding existence and summon it to battle … But so far, only a few people have this kind of aptitude. The work that our Kijou Research Institute undertook at that time was to study shadows and artificially synthesize Persona, but an accident happened midway …"
Kijou Takeji shook his head helplessly.
"I'm sure you already know what happened next. Because many people died and were injured, the research institute was shut down, and the research was terminated."
"What about the other parts of cognitive psychology?"
"I'm not too sure about that. My confidentiality level isn't high enough, so I can't get the other research progress on 'cognitive psychology', but I heard that part of it has been completed."
"Changing cognition …"
Looking at the documents in front of her, Aili's heart suddenly skipped a beat. According to the notice letter from the Monster Bandits, they wanted to steal Shida Duck's desire and make him confess everything to the police. So was this considered changing cognition? If that was the case, did that mean that the Monster Bandits had obtained part of the research results of 'cognitive psychology'?
Aili, of course, knew that the mental influence of Shadow would affect the real person. Take Amaterasu Yukiko for example. After she pushed down the other Amaterasu Yukiko, the real Amaterasu Yukiko reacted like a mouse seeing a cat. Aili had never met the real Amaterasu Yukiko before, but it was obvious that everything she did to the other Amaterasu Yukiko, even if the real Amaterasu Yukiko knew nothing about it, he would still subconsciously fear and submit to her.
This was also a change of cognition to a certain extent, but the way the Monster Bandits did it seemed a little different …
"Thank you."
After confirming that she could not get any more information from Kijou Takeji, Aili stood up and was about to leave. But at that moment, Kijou Takeji hurriedly said, "Please wait, Miss Aili.
"Please wait, Miss Ellie. I still have one more thing to remind you."
"Oh?"
"Please be careful of Miyagi Shuji."
"Him?"
Aili raised an eyebrow when she heard the name.
"Why?"
"I know that you and Yukari Yukiko are good friends. In fact, the person in charge of the Persona synthesis experiment was Yukari Yukiko's father, Eiichiro Yukiko. After that accident, although it was announced that Eiichiro Yukiko died accidentally, I suspect that his death was probably the work of Miyagi Shuji."
"Do you have any proof for what you said?"
"I don't, but I heard that Miyagi Shuji and Eiichiro Yukiko had a disagreement on the experimental goal and plan … As for the specifics, I wasn't in the research institute at that time, so I really don't have any clues."
"I understand. Then about the Holy Destroyer's legacy …"
"I'm sorry, that's the top secret of the artificial island management association. I don't know the specifics."
"Fine."
Although Aili did not get all the clues from Kijou Takeji, based on the information she had so far, she could almost see the connection behind these events.
"It's going to rain again next week …."
Aili muttered in a low voice as she returned to her room in the Iwatodai branch and looked at the weather report. She was not worried about not having enough time, but this was also related to her ability and reputation. If the Silver Witch could not solve these problems, then her reputation would be greatly affected.
"Knock knock knock."
While Aili was thinking about what to do next, a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. She stood up, walked to the door, and opened it.
Standing outside the door was a rather lively girl with a brown ponytail, wearing a Moonlight House uniform and a red headset.
"Ah, Miss Aili, sorry to disturb you …."
"It's fine. What can I do for you?"
Aili looked at the ponytailed girl in front of her in confusion. This girl was Kotomi Hikari, who entered the Iwatodai branch with her on the night she came to the 12th artificial island. After that, she also became a member of the A.S., but Aili was not particularly familiar with her. They only acted together when conquering Tartarus.
Generally speaking, the impression that Kotomi Hikari left on Aili was that she was a very lively and cheerful type. She would even liven up the atmosphere in the team during the conquest. She also had a good figure and was very cute ….
But strictly speaking, because of their different identities and Aili's "crazy" performance in several battles, the others were a little afraid of her, except for Xia Yin and Jue Tong. Aili did not particularly care about this. After all, she still had to maintain her image.
"Well … it's like this …."
Looking at the white-haired, red-eyed girl in front of her, Melody was a little nervous. What Ailee did not know was that Melody had awakened the power of her Persona after coming to artificial island No. 12. At the same time, she also went to the "Velvet Room" to receive Igor's guidance. Under Igor's guidance, Melody learned that she needed to build a good relationship with the people around her to improve. Among these people, Ailee's "desire" was the most difficult to improve.
Prior to this, Xi Jian Melody hadn't dared to approach Aili at all. On one hand, Aili's merciless fighting style made her heart race. On the other hand, Aili seemed to have a certain aura around her. Just a glance from Aili was enough to make Xi Jian Melody break out in a cold sweat.
It was only when Xi saw that Melody had trained hard that she became more courageous. That was why she had summoned up her courage to look for Aili.
"Well... I wanted to ask, if it's possible, do you want to go shopping with me tomorrow?"
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Aili looked at her curiously.
Could this be … a date invitation?
How rare.
A girl actually took the initiative to ask me out on a date. It would be a waste if I didn't go!
It's a shame for a man not to take the meat that's already in his mouth!
"… Can I?"
Seeing that Aili was silent, Melody carefully asked again. She had no idea that Aili's mind had already gone through the whole process, from which movie to which hotel to book.
Ai Li pondered for a moment before nodding in response to Zither Melody's question.
"Of course."
