Yu Ishigami looked at Sasori with a hint of envy and said.
If possible, he also wanted to be selected by Zhuge Cong to join the Iron Alliance organization, so that he could have his own set of armor.
"I know what you really want is to shed your flesh and blood and achieve mechanical ascension, right?" Zhuge Cong was also aware of Scorpion's pursuit.
17: Reality is always surreal, like rat heads and duck necks.
"To detach oneself from the physical body and transform oneself into a robot, like in cyberpunk?"
"That's a really good idea, Scorpion."
Orochimaru, dressed in a white lab coat, spoke to Sasori beside him.
"I like your idea; perhaps we can exchange ideas more."
"Really? You should focus on tackling your own research project first."
"You're so aloof, Scorpion."
Orochimaru didn't pay much attention to Sasori's words, since Sasori usually had a cold and aloof demeanor.
"It's a pity that the current technology hasn't made a breakthrough, but it's not like there's been no progress. Did you collect any useful data during your flight?" Scorpion said to Zhuge Cong.
"Yes, Jarvis." Zhuge Cong summoned Jarvis and broadcast the data from the previous flight.
"Record: the main sensor becomes sluggish above 4 feet, and ceases to function at another 5 feet," Jarvis announced the recorded data.
"Is the reason it's frozen?" Scorpion asked Jarvis.
"Sharp observation, Mr. Scorpion."
"If you need to visit other planets in the future, sir, we'll need to improve the exhaust system," Jarvis suggested.
"You also need to improve the materials. The current materials aren't optimal. I suggest switching to a gold-titanium alloy, which will ensure the shell's hardness without affecting the power-to-weight ratio," Scorpion said, sharing what he knew.
"You're right, and I thought of that too. Jarvis, just proceed with the rendering of the plan as Scorpion suggested," Zhuge Cong said to Jarvis.
"Yes, sir."
"I'm going back," Scorpion said to Zhuge Cong after tidying up the documents.
"Wait a minute, Scorpion, I want to talk to you," Zhuge Cong called out to Scorpion, who was about to leave.
"What are we talking about?" Scorpion asked, putting down his car keys and looking at Zhuge Cong.
"I'd like to talk to you about Orochimaru."
"Do you suspect he's the mole? I think that's impossible."
"I know he's not the mole, I just want to talk to you about some things Orochimaru has been secretly doing lately, are you aware of them?" Zhuge Cong said, sitting in his chair and looking at Sasori.
"Are you referring to human experimentation?" Scorpion sat down opposite Zhuge Cong and looked at him.
"You were involved too, weren't you? For your research project, to achieve mechanical flight," Zhuge Cong said, gesturing for Jarvis to produce a series of photos and experimental data.
"As expected, I couldn't hide it from the boss. I did conduct human experiments with Orochimaru." Sasori's expression remained unchanged as he looked at the photos.
"I never imagined that Zhuge Cong was such a heartless and insane person, allowing his subordinates to carry out inhumane experiments."
"Exactly, those heartless capitalists should really be hung on streetlights."
In the classroom, Zhuge Cong could clearly sense a significant change in how people looked at him.
"Why are you all staring at me like that? Look at the light screen."
Zhuge Cong addressed the people around him.
"Um, Cong, please forgive me, please don't capture me to be used for human experiments."
Kazuma Sato clung to Zhuge Cong's arm, sobbing as he spoke.
"If I really had the ability to kidnap people for human experimentation, then you would have been captured and sunk into the sea long ago."
Zhuge Cong looked at Sato Kazuma and said, then pushed Sato Kazuma away with his hand.
Inside the laboratory, Orochimaru looked at the light screen and spoke to Sasori.
"As expected, there are still things that Scorpion and I can talk about. We'll be working together in the future."
"Working with you doesn't seem like a good thing."
"Hehehe, don't say that, Scorpion. Aren't we the same in our pursuit of immortality? I am pursuing immortality, and your pursuit of ascension is also a form of immortality."
“I’m sure the boss won’t arrest us and throw us in jail.”
"Are you so sure?"
Sasori looked at Orochimaru with an air of knowing everything and said.
"Of course, the boss isn't the kind of person who is very righteous, purely righteous to the extreme. So even when it comes to human experimentation, I would choose those who are extremely heinous, so that the boss wouldn't say anything."
"After all, the boss has never liked people who commit heinous crimes but have not received fair punishment."
"Makes sense."
"I won't put you in jail, but I advise you to restrain yourselves and not target innocent people. Your targets should only be those who have committed heinous crimes, understand?" Zhuge Cong waved his hand and said.
"I suppose Orochimaru told you that as long as you don't harm innocent people, I won't pursue the matter, right?"
"Hmm," Scorpion nodded.
"However, if you continue to conduct indiscriminate human experiments and capture innocent people for your experiments, I will personally execute you," Zhuge Cong said earnestly to Scorpion.
"I know. Alright, I'm leaving." Scorpion nodded to Zhuge Cong, then got up and left.
"Sigh, Jarvis, am I doing it right?" Leaning back in his chair, Zhuge Cong sighed weakly and asked Jarvis.
"Sir, I feel that what you're doing is both reasonable and unreasonable."
"The unreasonableness lies in the fact that human experimentation is placed in a position that violates ethics within human society."
"It's reasonable because it allows for better punishment of extremely heinous criminals and accelerates breakthroughs in biotechnology."
"Is that so?" Hearing Jarvis's words, Zhuge Cong sighed, as if telling himself that he had done the right thing.
"Sigh, without superpowers, we can only rely on technology," Zhuge Cong said, sitting up as well.
"How's the data collection Jarvis asked you to do coming along?"
"Sir, I've gathered a lot of information, and one school in particular, called Xavier's Academy for Gifted Youngsters, is quite unique." Jarvis projected a picture of the school onto Zhuge Cong's screen.
"Tell me."
"First of all, all the school's data is heavily encrypted; even the highest-ranking schools don't use such encryption."
"Secondly, there's the student body. After hacking into the encrypted files, I found out that their school principal is only three years older than you, sir, and the funds they raised were all from lottery winnings."
"And the odds of winning the lottery consecutively are extremely slim."
"Jarvis, you need to understand, reality is fantastical; anything, even the most outrageous things, can happen," Zhuge Cong said to Jarvis, taking a sip of his coffee.

"Sir, please take a look at the following documents; these are the most crucial points."
"There's a lot to emphasize."
18: Zhuge Cong: I'm like a country bumpkin.
"Yes, sir. Based on their positions at school and their superpowers, I've selected a few profiles of the most threatening mutants," Jarvis said, pulling up several pages of documents for Zhuge Cong to see.
"Mutants? What are mutants?" Zhuge Cong asked curiously.
"Sir, 'mutant' is the term used by the higher-ups to refer to these special individuals; it can be understood as superpowered individuals."
"Sir, besides those schools, I also found a mutant organization called the Brotherhood. I've also shown you the information on their leaders."
"Superpowered individuals, do superpowered individuals really exist in this world?"
"Could it be that the higher-ups have known all along but just haven't told us?"
The outside world was shocked and incredulous at what was shown on the screen, after all, Iron Man armor and superpowers are not the same thing.
"Do superpowered people really exist? I thought they were just fiction."
Shirogane Miyuki looked at the light screen and said.
"Oh really? I feel like Fujiwara-senpai is a superhuman, no, a mutant. Her abilities are being a master con artist and being shameless."
Yu Ishigami said this, which drew a disapproving look from Chika Fujiwara.
Meanwhile, many people outside the world fantasize about awakening superpowers and becoming mutants, especially those with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).
"Look at this, the Brotherhood leader, Yu Otosaka, codename Magneto, his superpower is 'controlling magnetic fields,' holy crap!" Zhuge Cong broke down completely upon seeing the Brotherhood leader's superpower; it was a direct counter to him.
"Controlling the magnetic field, one of the four fundamental forces of the universe? If that's true, as long as the strength is sufficient and it's used skillfully, then no one in the world can stand against it."
L looked at Yuu Otosaka's superpowers and said...
"Such superpowers are enough to make a person a god."
Light Yagami sighed, after all, magnetic field control is a god-like existence for technological civilization.
