It was a ray of light that seemed to bring life out of the brink of despair.
"Really? You really want to..."
“However,” Su Chen’s tone suddenly changed at this moment.
He leaned forward slightly, closing the distance between them.
An invisible sense of oppression, along with his unique aura, quietly enveloped Wakana.
He fixed his gaze on her with a look that was both inquisitive and domineering, yet strangely impossible to dislike.
"I have a condition."
"What...conditions?"
Wakana's heart leaped into her throat; the flame of hope that had just been ignited seemed to have been doused with cold water.
"After things are resolved satisfactorily, I need Princess Wakana to agree to go on a date with me."
A meaningful smile played on Su Chen's lips.
"Just the two of us."
He emphasized the last few words.
This request came like a bolt from the blue, leaving Sonozaki Wakana stunned on the spot.
She hadn't expected it at all.
Su Chen actually made such a... such a frivolous request.
A captivating, irrepressible blush quickly spread across her fair cheeks, reaching all the way to her ears.
This is quite different from her usual effortless performance on stage.
But when she met Su Chen's deep eyes, which were filled with absolute confidence, as if he had everything in the world under his control.
For some reason, the panic in her heart miraculously lessened.
Unlike the men who surrounded her, fawning over her and treating her with utmost respect.
She is also different from those men who make no secret of their lust for her own beauty and status.
Su Chen, at 4.6, possessed a unique and powerful sense of control that felt both unfamiliar and novel to her.
This sense of control even gave her a strange feeling of security.
Moreover, reason tells her that she has no other choice at the moment.
This man was her only hope.
"……it is good."
She lowered her head slightly, avoiding his overly sharp gaze.
"I promise you."
Her voice was barely audible, like the whisper of a mosquito, yet it carried a do-or-die determination.
"very good."
Su Chen smiled with satisfaction.
His smile seemed to carry a hint of triumph.
He immediately turned to the air beside him, as if an invisible assistant was standing there, calmly issuing instructions.
“Iz”.
"Yes, sir."
A clear, calm, and emotionless female voice suddenly rang out in the quiet office.
This gave Wakana, who had just calmed down, another huge and indescribable shock.
She looked around instinctively, but found nothing.
Su Chen continued, his tone leaving no room for argument.
"Immediately connect to the Yake satellite and retrieve all public and encrypted network data in the entire city of Fengdu."
"With Ms. Sonozaki Wakana's current safety status as the highest priority, screen out all suspicious persons."
“In-depth analysis of their recent behavior patterns and psychological profile.”
"I need to obtain all the specific information about that so-called 'fan' within an hour, including his identity and the source of the Gaia Memory."
"Data analysis model initiated, Yaksatellite permissions confirmed, execution in progress."
Izzy's voice rang out again, efficient and precise.
Sonozaki Wakana opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't say anything.
This man, and the Zero One Technology he controls, seem to be truly... omnipotent.
A power far beyond anything she had ever known before revealed itself to her, in just the tip of the iceberg.
Chapter 40 Iz's Prophecy, Fuuto TV Station, W's Bitter Battle! (Fanatical Fan)
The computational efficiency of the Ark has long surpassed the boundaries of human imagination.
Su Chen's command was the absolute order to initiate all of this.
The moment the command was issued, an immeasurable torrent of data broke free from all visible constraints and roared and surged forth with unstoppable force within the massive server cluster buried deep underground at Zero One Technology's headquarters.
Throughout the entire city, tens of thousands of surveillance cameras, both public and private, had their access quietly taken over by the Ark system.
Every potentially relevant post on social media, whether public or private, is quickly captured and analyzed.
Every ID in the fan-only forum, along with all its posts and the real information of the person behind it, was completely accessed.
Even the encrypted internal communication records of the security team protecting Wakana Sonozaki's daily schedule were not spared. In front of Ark, they were like an undefended gateway, and the information was easily extracted.
All information nodes and all data fragments were forcibly connected by Ark in an almost tyrannical manner.
Subsequently, these data are subjected to complex cross-comparisons and in-depth logical analysis at an astonishing speed of billions or even tens of billions of calculations per second.
The process lasted less than ten minutes.
An invisible giant net woven from pure data has quietly tightened.
That perverted fan lurking in the shadows of Fengdu has been precisely and firmly locked down by this net, with nowhere to escape.
"Reporting to the president."
Iz's voice, devoid of any human emotion, rang out.
Her holographic projection was clearly presented in front of Su Chen and Wakana Sonosaki. The stability and clarity of the projection made it seem as if she herself was in the office.
"Through multi-dimensional data screening and analysis using in-depth behavioral psychology models, we have successfully identified a single target."
"Suspect: Takeshi Kanda, male, 29 years old."
"This person is a veteran member of Ms. Wakana's fan club. His online history contains numerous extreme and possessive statements."
As Izzy reported, a huge virtual screen appeared simultaneously in the air in front of Su Chen, with light and shadow flowing.
On the screen is a photo of an ordinary-looking man.
This person's eyes contrasted sharply with his ordinary features, revealing a chillingly obsessive glint deep within them.
Below the photo is Kanda Takeshi's extremely detailed personal profile, covering every important milestone from birth to the present, his social relationships, financial situation, and almost everything else in great detail.
"Based on its activity patterns on various clandestine online platforms over the past 19 periods, as well as the multiple encrypted communications that were successfully intercepted and deciphered by Ark," Izzy continued in her characteristically calm tone.
Even though the content itself is enough to thrill ordinary people, her voice remains completely flat, like the reading of the most precise instrument.
"The target's next specific action plan can be predicted with ultra-high precision by the Ark system."
"Target location: Fengdu TV Station, its second studio."
"Target time: 3 PM tomorrow. This time coincides with Ms. Wakana's scheduled interview recording."
"Supplementary report."
Izzy's projection slightly adjusted its viewing angle, seemingly emphasizing the importance of the information to come.
"Based on the preliminary remote scan and analysis of the residual energy fluctuations of the Gaia memory on the target by the Ark system, the power contained in the memory he currently possesses should not be underestimated."
"The initial destructive threat rating is B+."
"The system suggests that you maintain a necessary level of caution when dealing with this situation."
"Fengdu TV Station..."
Sonozaki Wakana softly repeated the location.
Her eyes were fixed on the prediction on the screen, which was accurate to the minute and even to the specific location.
The power demonstrated by Zero One Technology once again challenged her understanding.
A chill, stemming from the unknown, crept into her heart.
This near-omniscient and omnipotent technological power has far surpassed all the frameworks of understanding that she could previously construct regarding "power."
"Mr. Su Chen, shall we...?"
There was a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.
She instinctively looked at Su Chen, her eyes conveying an urgent plea, hoping he could take immediate action to nip this potentially huge danger in the bud.
"Not urgent."
Su Chen simply waved his hand, interrupting her unfinished words.
On his handsome face, a subtle, enigmatic smile, seemingly tinged with mockery, now appeared.
He walked slowly to the huge floor-to-ceiling window in the office, casually put one hand in his pocket, and looked down at the city below, which was completely shrouded in night.
With the lights of thousands of homes twinkling, he had everything in the city under his control, like a game of chess.
"Let the people at Narumi Detective Agency handle tomorrow's matters first."
"why?"
Sonozaki Wakana's delicate eyebrows furrowed instantly.
