Qin Zhibo alone had a total of 30 will points cut off.

An ordinary person's 50 Willpower, minus 30 Willpower, would already be a little delirious.

If it was Mao Lilan and Aso who had such a weak will, he would probably go insane immediately.

As for Itakura Taku's will, he should be very high compared to ordinary people. He has been developing software for such a long time. It's just a serious heart disease, and his brain is still very clear.

The software itself is very dangerous, so it cannot be leaked. This is what Taku Itakura must have thought.

What Qin Zhibo cares about is that the woman from the black organization used such a sentence in reply to Itakura Taku.

Fight against the torrent of time and revive the sleeper.

Does it mean reviving Cthulhu?

Qin Zhibo subconsciously rubbed his temples on both sides, still unable to understand.

According to some dark secrets I felt from the vision, Cthulhu's resurrection seems to be related to the astronomical phenomenon of "the stars return to their alignment."

However, from the current point of view, the black organization does not seem to be involved in aerospace business.

Drugs and software are the two main research and development forces that can be seen in the black organization at present, and it is difficult to associate them with "The Stars Return".

In other words, astronomical phenomena themselves are beyond human control and can only wait to happen.

Speaking of waiting, Qin Zhibo thought of the boss of the Brotherhood of Beasts. He hoped to wait for the Great Halley's Comet, which returns once every 10,000 years, and use Pandora, the Stone of Life, to achieve immortality.

This is related to astronomical phenomena, but it does not mention "the stars returning to their original positions" because there is only one star returning to their original positions.

Still unable to figure out the purpose of the organization, Qin Zhibo could only turn his thinking to the current main task, saving Sawada Hiroki.

This task requires the use of Itakura Taku's software. Judging from the current use results, the software is indeed not completed.

The function of the software designed by Taku Itakura is to capture packets, but the current function only searches for green signals, which is considered incomplete.

But for Qin Zhibo, this is enough.

Drawing from the situation in the game "Cocoon", the green signal can be embodied in a game that connects the human brain to consciousness.

In other words, you only need to use the software to search for the green signal first.

Then connect the software to a completely virtual game, and you can once again enter the consciousness space where Hiroki Sawada was abducted.

Complete virtual game

Qin Zhibo thought for a while, and the only completely virtual game currently on the market was actually the originator - Cocoon.

Sindora Company is facing bankruptcy due to three major crises: the death of its chairman, the collapse of market reputation, and the inability to withdraw R&D funds.

In this situation where all parties have to settle bad debts and there is extreme chaos both internally and externally, the "Cocoon" game console may not have been completely destroyed.

Maybe I can play "cocoon" again.

But where will the "cocoon" be now?

Qin Zhibo thought for a while, and suddenly thought of a person who might know inside information.

Now that he had some possible clues, without further ado, Qin Zhibo roughly opened the optical drive and put the disc back into his pocket.

As for the dead laptop, Qin Zhibo looked at it with disgust and threw it directly into the trash can.

Just like this, the service life of the top-end laptop on the market is less than a day.

Back at the office, Qin Zhibo dialed the phone number of the person who might have inside information.

"Yuanzi? My name is Qin Zhibo."

Qin Zhibo said what he wanted to ask.

Sonoko was not on guard, after all, he was a man who had been kind to him and the Suzuki family many times.

If Qin Zhibo hadn't shut down the game, Suzuki Consortium, one of the important investors in the "Cocoon" project, would have lost a lot of prestige.

So Yuanzi directly told Qin Zhibo the inside story of the matter.

It turns out that after that incident, the Suzuki Consortium started negotiations with Sindora Company.

Although failure to market the product is a normal risk of investment, the Suzuki Consortium and Sindora should share the losses.

But the problem is that the products of the investment projects have already been put into production, and the relevant technologies are relatively complete.

The Suzuki Consortium is not a fool, and naturally wants to obtain these equipment and technologies. Even if they cannot be sold on the market for money, they can use them as technical reserves to recover some losses.

However, this proposal was rejected by representatives of the US government on the grounds that this core technology cannot be exported to other countries.

At the end of the negotiation, both parties took a step back.

Suzuki can retain the equipment and some technologies, but it must wait 20 years after the equipment equipped with the technology is re-launched by a domestic company in the United States before it can release equipment products with related technologies.

Exactly one patent protection period.

Due to its status as an investor, the Suzuki Consortium can retain major technologies, but it needs to take care of the interests of domestic American companies.

Suzuki was somewhat aggrieved by this negotiation, but there was nothing that could be done about it. The other party had the support of the U.S. government, and this was already the greatest benefit that could be obtained.

This is not the worst thing. The worst thing is Japan's Ezhe chaebol bank.

Jiang Zhe's family has always been engaged in investment. They have no market resources and are not suitable to directly intervene in various businesses. In addition, the share of this investment is very small, so it is useless to ask for a little bit of technology.

They want some monetary compensation, but the other party doesn't care about them at all.

The reason for this is very simple. The business scope of the Suzuki Consortium has long gone beyond Japan and has spread all over the world. Even the United States has many important investment and industrial projects. The negotiating parties must be somewhat wary of this influence.

As for the Jiang Zhe family's chaebol, in the final analysis, they are just bankers who made their fortune by plundering Japanese people's wealth and money. Americans certainly don't care.

In the end, the Suzuki family, who had received the technology and equipment, made a small compensation, while the Jiang Zhe family, who had received nothing except letting their grandson play a life-defying game, paid full compensation.

"Mr. Qin, why do you suddenly ask these questions?"

Qin Zhibo got straight to the point and expressed his thoughts, "I was still very interested in the game that day. If possible, I would like to play it again."

Hearing this, Yuanzi couldn't help but frown.

Play again. Did I hear you right?

"Well, it's okay, but our engineers from the Suzuki Consortium are dismantling and studying the mess inside. It will take some time to fully understand it."

"How long will it take? It should be done before next week?" Qin Zhibo asked quickly.

Yuanzi thought for a moment and showed a confident smile that belonged to a consortium daughter.
