"Today, I called for you guys for a reason." Mr. L started the meeting. He sat up straight and crossed his legs. "It's about the Peace Faction."
The room suddenly became noisy. Everyone became listless and started to mutter words to their lefts and rights.
Mr. L tapped the table twice, and silence returned. "I heard they sold our information and research to other factions." He tapped the table twice again before continuing, "It appears they also have connections to the Unknown Faction."
A woman on the right side of the table let out a gasp while covering her mouth in shock. Everyone went back to muttering words to their lefts and rights again.
Mr. L tapped the table again, and the mutters stopped. "It also appears that they have inserted a spyware inside their newest custom Ageha-humans." Mr. L turned his gaze toward Yuu. "Before they reached their exit door. They will always be a spy device."
Everyone turned their heads and stared at Yuu.
The woman who had just let out a gasping sound turned her head toward Mr. L and said, "Isn't the custom Ageha-humans' system created by Mr. L?"
"It is. I heard Mr. L was the first to receive a custom Ageha-human," said another man on the left side.
"Mr. L is a weird person with disgusting hobbies. He knew from the start that the Peace Faction people would try to control us. They would definitely put one or two bugs on the system," said Mrs. C
"Hahaha," laughed Mr. L, "I will take that as a compliment, Mrs. C."
"I heard Ms. Y just received her custom Ageha-human last week?" said the woman who let out a gasping sound.
"Yes, I received one, Ms. J," Yuu turned to face Ms. J, "as you said last week."
"I hope you manage to hide your research from it," said Ms. J giggled, and everyone joined with small giggles.
Mr. L tapped the table twice, and the giggles disappeared. "I believe in Ms. Y," said Mr. L as he turned his gaze toward Ms. J. She felt embarrassed and lowered her head.
"There is a way to turn the custom Ageha-human to be your ally," said Mrs. C. Yuu was startled a bit and turned her gaze toward Mrs. C.
"As I said before," Mrs. C started, "thanks to Mr. L's disgusting hobbies. He managed to slip an exit-door inside the program." Mrs. C lifted her glass, took a small sip, and continued, "As long as your custom Ageha-human manages to pass the exit door, it would start to feel more like normal-humans. The system would detect the spyware as a virus and delete it."
Yuu's face turned bright with hope before Mr. L tapped the table twice.
"The bad news is the custom Ageha-human need to reach the exit door by themselves, and every type is different on how they'll reach it; some might need to feel the ultimate fear." Mr. L tapped the table again.
"There are only eleven of custom-design Ageha-humans, Ms. Y, and yours is the last one," said Mrs. C.
"Yuu, Hiroki encountered Levi on his way back," whispered Jer. Yuu was startled and tried her best to keep her composure.
"Record the conversation, Jer," whispered Yuu back.
"Roger!" Jer replied.
