"And I... whenever I think of her, my heart seems to be bound tightly by invisible chains, because at that moment, I was afraid of being bullied again, so I failed to lend a helping hand." Naomi's voice trembled deeply, and her eyes were slightly red, as if she was trying hard to control the tears that were about to burst.

She lowered her head and clenched her fists, as if she was deeply blaming herself for her past cowardice.

Then, she slowly raised her head, with a determined light in her eyes: "So, I swear, I will do something for this world. I will do my best to eliminate the racial discrimination hidden in the dark. However, I know that this may be difficult for you to understand, and perhaps you will think that this is an unattainable dream. So, you don’t understand, right?"

"So you developed a cross-age recognition system?" Huihara Ai asked softly.

Naomi looked up with a gleam in her eyes. “Yes, I came up with this recognition program that is not limited by race or age while I was deeply studying anthropology and artificial intelligence. Its original intention was to break down the boundaries so that everyone can be recognized and respected equally.

Later, Interpol contacted me. They were very interested in my research and hoped that I could help them test the cross-age recognition system. To this end, they gave me access to some surveillance cameras in Japan. "

Naomi's voice was filled with pride, as if this was a major achievement in her life, but then her mood turned somber again.

"At that time, the first person I thought of was Shiho. My heart has always longed to see her again, because I... I have always wanted to apologize to her and make up for the regrets in my heart." Naomi's voice was low and heavy, and her words revealed deep guilt and longing, as if the unfinished apology was a knot in her heart that could never be untied.

"However, to my surprise, you were also matched by this system for some reason... I am still confused about the reason." Naomi frowned, and her eyes showed confusion and puzzlement.

Naomi raised her head and looked at Huihara Ai, her eyes full of apology: "I'm really sorry, you may have been implicated because of me"

Huiyuan Ai felt warm in her heart, she knew that Naomi was really sorry. She shook her head gently and responded silently in her heart: "No, it's me who got you into trouble."

Meanwhile, in a secret room in Manila, Vermouth’s eyes were fixed on the device in her hand, with information flashing on the screen so quickly that she couldn’t be distracted.

"Destroy." Vermouth read out the order softly.

Vermouth said to herself, "I knew you would think so." Then, she quickly replied on the device, "Got it, Boss."

At this time, the sheepdog in the room seemed to feel its owner's nervousness. It walked gently to Vermouth and rubbed her arm with its head, trying to bring her some comfort.

However, Vermouth's attention was completely focused on the device in her hand at the moment. She gently pushed the sheepdog away and whispered, "Hey, don't make trouble!"

Inside the Pacific Buoy Base.

Leonhard noticed something was wrong with the system.

He immediately left the control room and headed to the dormitory area to look for someone who might have known about the incident. When he found the person, he responded to his questioning with unusual silence.

"What's going on?" Leonhard's voice was full of confusion and anger.

However, the man did not seem to intend to answer his question directly, but just stood there quietly with his back to Leonhard. His silence was like a black hole, devouring Leonhard's patience and confidence.

Leonhard felt an inexplicable pressure, as if the other person's back was emitting a kind of coercion invisibly. However, he did not back down, but became more determined to find out the truth.

"Why don't you say something?" Leonhard's voice became increasingly urgent, trying to break the silent deadlock.

Deep in his heart, a feeling of uneasiness quietly surged. He knew that this anomaly might affect the safety and stability of the entire base. Therefore, he had to remain calm and not be swayed by emotions.

"That log... was when you were in the control room last night..." Leonhard took a deep breath, trying to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and continued to ask. However, before he finished speaking, the man suddenly moved.

Leonhard felt a flash of light in front of his eyes, and a strong sense of dizziness came over him. He tried to struggle, but his body softened uncontrollably. He saw a handkerchief in the stranger's hand, which exuded a strange smell.

"What are you doing?" Leonhard's voice had become weak and powerless.

However, the stranger did not answer his question. He just approached Leonhard step by step and covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief. Leonhard felt a strong sense of sleepiness. He tried hard to open his eyes, but his eyelids seemed to be weighed down by a thousand pounds and finally closed weakly.
