[Karen: I didn't tell him about your identity. I think you should find a time to be honest with him yourself. (o???o)??]
【咣子郎：……】
[Guangzilang: I'm not ready yet.]
[Karen: Even if you consider him a rival now, you should at least let him know that you exist as one, right?]
[Karen: In his eyes, you're still that little follower, that tagalong who always hangs around him.]
[Karen: If you don't correct your image in his mind in time, he may never take your challenges seriously.]
[Guangzilang: I understand, I'll confront him.]
After typing those words, Tomoki fell into a long silence.
Just as the chat logs suggest, Tomoki had known Nozomi for a long time.
Even today's hacking techniques were introduced under Ye Rui's guidance.
From initial admirers to now somewhat hostile challengers...
For a long time, Tomoki was unable to forgive Nori for taking away his mother's attention.
It wasn't until two months ago, when Karen hacked into this long-abandoned private chat room, that this small group, which was on the verge of falling apart, became active again.
"Ye Rui, I really envy you."
All chat history in the chat room was deleted with a single click.
Tomoki's gaze remained fixed on the computer screen, unable to confront his inner demons.

Chapter 366 Mechanical Girl Kallen
In a newly opened private internet cafe on Sixth Avenue.
"He's still just a child..."
Only after the system displayed that another member had completely left the chat room did the girl sitting at the front desk smile and delete all the chat history.
"Child? What child?"
Turning around with some surprise, Lady Nine-Tailed asked with considerable curiosity.
"It's nothing, I just comforted a kid who was having a tantrum, and it was quite fulfilling."
It wasn't until the girl gently raised her head that her appearance was officially revealed to Lady Nine-Tailed Fox.
It is neither a normal human being's flesh and blood, nor one of those bizarre monsters or alien beings...
Like the Nine-Tailed Fox, the girl also belongs to the category of mechanical life forms.
However, unlike the Nine-Tailed Fox, the girl did not take the extreme anthropomorphic route, but instead did not shy away from or hide her mechanical attributes.
The cheeks are marked with tattoo-like slits, and the pupils are red artificial irises...
The sharply defined features reflected a metallic sheen, and the high-density fibers, as red as flames, were woven into an extremely intricate hairstyle.
However, the most eye-catching feature is the prismatic crystal between the girl's eyebrows.
It was an artificial crystal that was directly embedded in the girl's head.
Beneath the vibrant colors lies a densely packed, intricate structure, as precise as an electrical circuit.
"Karen, don't do things that will cause trouble for everyone."
With a slight frown, Lady Nine-Tailed Fox clearly understood the girl's personality, and thus gave her a very serious warning.
Although Sixth Avenue has become a semi-public place, those who can freely enter and exit it are mostly people who have received the approval and recognition of Daigo and Saki.
Karen was the only dangerous individual whom Lu Xuan had specifically warned her about.
After spending these two months together, Lady Nine-Tailed Fox discovered that Kallen was indeed no pushover.
A cynical personality, a slightly paranoid neuroticism, and hacking skills capable of infiltrating any location at will...
From Lady Nine-Tailed's perspective, she felt that Kallen was more suited to be locked up in the second level of Sixth Avenue—the actual containment space.
"Don't worry! I'm just browsing the internet, what trouble could I possibly get into?"
Faced with Kallen's sophistry, Lady Nine-Tailed simply calmly recounted the various disturbances she had caused before.
"Top Secret Files on the Invasion of the Lunar Base..."
"Interfering with the European Atomic Energy Agency's renewable energy power plants..."
"Leading a bunch of unruly kids to blow up a Ubume figure shop..."
"The exit button for the virtual reality game developed by Sadiq has been removed..."
After a brief pause, Lady Nine-Tailed looked up at Kallen, whose face was full of embarrassment, and then asked in return, as if it were a given.
"Would you like me to continue?"
She quickly raised her hands in surrender, and Karen dared not cause any more trouble. She could only obediently sit down and look down at her computer screen.
They said they'd find me a nanny, but it turned out they'd found me a mother instead.
Karen, who was complaining inwardly, dared not argue any further and obediently resumed her work.
After all, Lady Nine-Tailed Fox was Lu Xuan's appointed guardian for Kallen.
If she causes any more trouble, the Nine-Tailed Lady won't protect Kallen like she did before; instead, she'll expose everything to Lu Xuan.
By then, Lu Xuan might actually lock her up in the containment space.

"Poor Karen..."
Kari, who was reading a comic book at the coffee table in the lobby, couldn't help but let out a sigh of regret.
"Pitiful? That crazy woman?"
With his eyes wide open, Kuzunojiro, who was frantically finishing his homework, immediately put down his pen and looked back and forth between Karen and Kyo with an incredulous expression.
"If that crazy woman is considered pitiful, then I must be the most miserable person in the world!"
With a slightly indignant tone, Kuzunojiro couldn't understand why he, a yokai, was lying here calculating various inequalities and equations.
Not to mention, after finishing this math homework, there are still more demanding Chinese and English homework assignments to complete.
"Who told you to be so playful?"
"And those questions are so simple, you can finish them all in less than an hour."
Upon hearing this, Kuzuha Jiro raised his head in grief and indignation, looking at Kari, who was constantly adding insult to injury.
"You think I'm you!"
"These questions are not something a human... no, not something a demon could do!"
Kuzuha Jiro had always known that Kari was a genius and capable of creating some very magical gadgets.
But he never imagined that the gap between himself and Jia'er would be so huge.
What she saw as a problem was as simple as one plus one equals two to Jia'er.
"Jiro!"
Seemingly having heard Kuzuha Jiro's complaints, Lady Kurama immediately turned around and called out to him in the hall.
"Don't get distracted, I'm going to check your homework myself in a moment."
Trembling, Kuzuha Jiro climbed down again, just like Karen at the front desk, not daring to utter a single word of rebuttal.
On the contrary, Karen, who was reading a comic book, looked at Kallen and Kuzuha Jiro with a grin.
Since Zoga the Demon Bird went berserk last time, Kari seems to have returned to normal.
However, regardless of whether it was Lady Nine-Tailed Fox, Saki, or Daigo, they all began to pay attention to the possible psychological problems that Kari might have.
Even Lu Xuan, who rarely shows his face, has started to conduct psychological examinations and various related tests for Jia'er at regular intervals.
For Kari, nothing could be happier than this kind of everyday life.
"Speaking of which, have you heard of that 'Angel Cult' lately?"
He didn't stay still for long. After confirming that Lady Nine-Tailed Fox wasn't paying attention to him, Kuzuha Jiro quietly raised his head again and asked softly.
"?"
With a blank expression, Kari tilted her head, not knowing why Kuzuha Jiro would suddenly bring this up. She just blinked but didn't say anything.
"I heard from the crow next door that the 'Angel Cult' is also a sect founded by humans with supernatural powers?"
"But we don't seem to have ever seen anyone from the 'Cult of Angels' on Sixth Avenue?"
Having spent so much time with Kuzuha Jiro, Kari immediately sensed the eagerness in his voice.
"No, if you dare to sneak out, I'll tell your mom you're planning to get into trouble again."
The curiosity on his face instantly vanished, and Kuzuha Jiro ultimately just glared at Kari fiercely.
"Traitor! I'm never taking you out to play again!"
Despite saying that, Kari didn't care about Kuzuha Jiro's threat at all, and even made a face at him triumphantly.

Chapter 367 Daigo, Sensing Something Wrong
"Well done, Kari."
Without a sound, Lu Xuan appeared out of thin air beside Jia'er and gently stroked her head, praising her.
"A truly intelligent person would never easily put themselves in danger."
She immediately turned around and hugged Lu Xuan, looking up at him with a look of surprise and delight.
"Uncle Lu, what brings you here today?"
Lu Xuan reached out and gently pinched the other person's nose, revealing a rare, amiable smile.
"I had something to take care of, and I happened to overhear your conversation."
When Lu Xuan said this, he clearly saw Kuzue Jiro tremble and then lower his head even further.
"Keep a close eye on Jiro. In a couple of days, Uncle Lu will take you to visit the space station."
Lu Xuan patted Jia'er's head again. This differential treatment made Kuzuha Jiro even more desperate.
As for Jia'er?
She is now overjoyed at the prospect of going to the space station.
Because Jia'er knew that her Uncle Lu always kept his word, and if he said he would take her to visit a space station, he would definitely take her to a real space station.
"Uncle Lu, has your private space project been approved?"
The Galvin Group has been launching satellites for a long time and even had a secret private space station.
However, the space station that Lu Xian took the initiative to invite Jia'er to is obviously not a private space station.
This means that the Galvin Group has obtained official certification from the TPC and has successfully built a large space station that can be made public.
"Yes, in a while, the Galvin Group will open its space station tourism project to the public."
"You will be among the first visitors to this tourist space station project."
Standing in outer orbit of the Earth, looking up at space and down at the Earth, Lu Xuan's words moved not only Jia'er.
"Uncle Lu, can I come along too?"
Without any restraint, Kuzue Jiro shamelessly asked Lu Xuan in a fawning manner.
"sure……"
Deliberately drawing out his words, Lu Xuan looked at Kuzunojiro, who also had a look of ecstasy on his face, but suddenly changed the subject.
"However, the premise is that you can't cause trouble during this period, especially you can't cause trouble with Jia'er."
