"Chief, Stark has left."
There was a burst of static in the earpiece. The woman narrowed her eyes slightly. "Where is the target?"
"This... He should be in the meeting room?"
"Should be?!"
"Chief, I have a blind spot here and can't see!" Harris wailed, making the woman want to slap his smug face!
"Did the surveillance pick up anything?"
"Huh? Chief, didn't I tell you about this a few days ago?"
"What? A few days ago?" The woman's brow furrowed, and she had a bad feeling.
"Yes, a few days ago." Harris still didn't sense anything wrong and continued, "About three days ago in the morning, all the surveillance we installed disappeared. At that time, you even said it might be the work of General Brooks' guard."
"Chief? Chief?!"
"Huh?"
"What's happening on your end, Chief?"
"Nothing... You continue to monitor."
Harris wanted to say something more but was choked off. He glanced back at the young man behind him and shook his head.
...
In the bedroom, Kurumi lay on the bed. After sensing those people with her psychic powers, she didn't pay any further attention to them.
"Red Queen?"
"Here, Master."
"Do you think Stark can research it?"
"Given the various loopholes in the Marvel Universe, he should be able to create it. His chances of success are very high as long as the theory is there. Moreover... it will be fast."
"That's good," Kurumi breathed a sigh of relief. "The magic I learned from the godly realm is obviously out of place in this world. I never expected that the rules of the Marvel world would be so easily manipulated."
With a pointing finger, Kurumi twisted the space unnaturally. It spread rapidly like a spider's web, emitting faint black light.
"Master, the spatial stability is barely affected by this."
"Heh." Kurumi chuckled and waved her hand to smooth out the distortion in space.
"If there's enough magical power, we can conduct any experiment."
The Red Queen had recorded everything on the desktop. "In theory, that's correct. The laws in this universe are too easily manipulated. As long as one understands them, achieving effects like 'planet destruction' or 'time travel' is feasible."
"This doesn't exist in other universes. Even the Endless Universe you mentioned before is weaker compared to here."
Kurumi sat up, then leaned on the bed, her chest protruding.
One hand propped up her chin as she looked at the Red Queen on the desktop. "Have you ever considered creating a body for yourself?"
The Red Queen raised an eyebrow. "Master?"
"I won't help you with that."
The Red Queen shook her head. "Don't worry, Master. As long as you agree, you'll see a real me before long!"
"Oh?" Kurumi, who had been languid, suddenly became interested in this matter.
"Is it a real artificial brain, not a machine?"
"Hehehe~" Kurumi felt like she was watching a naughty child, complete with hands on her hips, even though she had a petite figure.
"Of course, it's an artificial brain. Although it's difficult to adapt to, I've always looked forward to having my own body!" The Red Queen's eyes sparkled.
At this moment, she was no longer the "Red Queen" who ruled the internet but just a little girl looking forward to a gift.
Kurumi rolled over and suddenly felt the pressure on her chest diminish. "I'm just curious how the program will be injected into an artificial brain."
"Should we put a chip in there?" Kyouka's imagination ran wild.
Hearing her Master's words, even the Red Queen couldn't help but touch her lips, making a strange expression on her petite face.
"Let's forget about that. Are you using Ambrella for this? By the way, the headquarters is already established, but there hasn't been any news from the outside?"
"There is speculation, but the coverage has been decreasing because people are not very interested in such news."
"So, what will be our first product?" Kurumi blinked her eyes. She had a peculiar fascination with Ambrella in the Marvel world.
"Master, do you remember the virus suppressant solution you asked me to research?"
Her eyes gradually became serious. "The virus is spreading so fast?"
"You don't need to worry. The virus underwent a second mutation for some unknown reason, but ironically, it weakened itself."
"Huh?" Her wine-red eyes revealed a skeptical look. "What about the infected population?"
"About half of the United States and some personnel from other countries are carrying the virus."
"Really? From what you're saying, the virus is about to erupt?"
"Yes, Master. Even if we consider the unscientific nature of this world, let alone finding a cure, it's tough even to study a suppressant."
Kurumi stood up abruptly and sat down on a chair. Her expression turned gloomy. "Red Queen, do I look like a mastermind from behind the scenes now?"
Seeing the slight tremor on the Red Queen's face, Kurumi said despondently, "Well, if you want to laugh, go ahead."
"I'm looking forward to meeting you in reality."
"It's an honour, Master."
