Chapter 155: The True Intention of the Experiment (Part 2)

"Can they really do it?"

The tone of the other party changed instantly, but the old butler didn't grasp the true meaning behind it and continued with his previous words.

"Well, because we still don't know what tricks they are using. We cannot determine whether they are using superpowers or magic."

"So, you're saying they didn't use any techniques? That doesn't make sense."

The other party naturally asked.

To this, the old butler just shook his head. Although it wasn't a video call and the other party couldn't see, the old butler still did it, just a natural reaction of the body.

"No, they only used Jujutsu Paper, but with that alone, we can't make any judgments. After all, there are no restrictions on the use of Jujutsu Paper."

There was a sense of helplessness in the other party's tone.

"True, theoretically anyone can use it, which makes it difficult to determine."

"It's obvious that the other party used Jujutsu Paper to hide their identity. Although this method can hide their identity, it also comes with certain risks."

As an old butler who had been immersed in that world for many years, he understood Jujutsu Paper very well, despite it having only a few years of history. Of course, the other party also knew that, so they understood the meaning behind the old butler's words.

"Well, in general, Jujutsu Paper does not have the same power as superpowers or magic. So, it's safe to assume that the other party used it to hide their identity, right? It's a very accurate judgement."

"But even so, the other party easily escaped from us, so they couldn't be an ordinary person. They seem to be more skilled with Jujutsu Paper than an average person."

"Well, people like that are indeed rare."

Although the other party said that, their attitude remained calm.

"Could it be that Lord already knew the other party's identity from the beginning?"

Mouri Saburo couldn't help but wonder. If Lord had predicted where the other party would go from the beginning, it wouldn't be impossible even if he knew their identity.

"How could that be? I don't have that kind of ability."

"..."

Although the other party said so, Mouri Saburo didn't know if it was true or false.

While Mouri Saburo was thinking that, a voice came from the other side again.

"By the way, Mouri, don't you find it strange?"

"Strange?"

"Yes, their unnecessary actions."

"Unnecessary actions?"

"Mouri, you should know what they are doing, right?"

"Ah, it seems like they are implanting a part of the initiator's brain into the experimental subject's brain in order to give them the same abilities as the initiator."

"That's right."

"So what's strange about that?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

This made the old butler even more confused.

"Obvious?"

"Yes, because I remember they were planning to use clones in the end, although it's prohibited by international law."

When reminded of that,

"Well, even if they succeed in the end, the experimental subjects probably won't last very long. And they need many such superpowered individuals, so cloning is the best solution."

The butler immediately realized.

About this.

"But, this is even more unnecessary."

The other side responded calmly.

"?"

However, the other side had no intention of disappointing the butler. Seeing the butler's silence, they directly revealed their thoughts.

"Because couldn't they directly move a part of the Initiator's brain into the clone's brain? Especially when it's already decided to use clones."

"Clones?"

"Ah, not only that, they could even directly cultivate clones with superpowers from the very beginning, then mass-produce them. Isn't that simpler? Why go through the trouble of finding test subjects, risking discovery? Anyway, there's no need for so much unnecessary effort."

"..."

The butler was amazed and couldn't say a word.

Yes, this method is obviously simpler.

But what surprised the butler the most was not this, but...

In reality, they didn't do it that way.

"Could it be that they didn't think of it?"

"Who knows? After all, I'm not them."

"No, that shouldn't be possible."

Although the other party didn't give a clear answer, the butler denied it on his own.

"Then why exactly?"

He asked this question, hoping the other party would provide an answer.

To this, the other party replied.

"Perhaps...someone may have tried it before."

They said it so calmly.

"What?"

"Well, don't mind, it's just my guess. Like I said earlier, I'm not them, how could I possibly know?"

"..."

"Well, although they didn't catch the other party in the end, it confirmed certain assumptions. The result wasn't too bad. Let's put this matter to rest for now. Mori, you should go to sleep too. I'm quite tired myself now."

Since the other party clearly didn't want to say anymore, the butler had no choice but to give up.

"Yes, then the report ends here."

After saying this, the other party hung up the phone. Were they really that tired?

Although Mouri Saburo, who hung up the phone, was also tired, a certain question still lingered in his mind. No, ultimately it was just a hypothesis, not the reason why the PC plan was so unnecessarily complicated.

Instead...

If the master knew who that person was from the beginning, and knew that person was formidable, then what was the purpose of sending Miss there?
