After talking with her sister in the room and understanding the situation, Shiho excused herself to the restroom and stepped out.
At this moment, she finally had time to observe the house.
The entire place did not carry the atmosphere of a home with many people living in it. The furniture and decorations were too simple and monotonous.
Moreover, there was an inexplicable chill in the air.
Looking up, she noticed the air conditioner still running.
Even though the air was dry and the temperature was not set very low, the room still felt cold. It was difficult to comprehend.
Shiho walked around and quickly determined that this was a single-person household.
It lacked warmth, and the owner did not seem to care about the atmosphere of the home, only maintaining the most basic living needs.
But the owner did not appear to be in the living room.
She walked toward the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and saw what was inside: green vegetables, eggs, meat stored in the freezer, and a few slices of bread.
Indeed, it was the sign of someone living alone.
Does Lord God live alone?
Shiho recalled the woman she had heard earlier, who seemed to be an Inspector. She speculated that the female Inspector was the same as her sister, another believer developed by Lord God.
So, have Lord God's believers already infiltrated the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department?
Indeed, having believers in different fields could play a significant role.
The matter had already been reported directly to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, allowing them to obtain critical aptx research data from the organization, including some of her past white mouse experiments.
As long as the Police held this data, Shiho was certain the organization would not escape their "special attention" in the future.
Of course, while the organization would be scrutinized, that female Inspector would also likely face "attention" if the Police truly became suspicious of her.
After confirming the situation in the house, Shiho sat in the living room. She wanted to wait for Lord God to see if there was an opportunity to speak with him.
At that moment, Ren glanced toward the living room from his study.
It was just like watching a kitten arrive in a new home, cautiously surveying its surroundings.
He knew Shiho wanted to speak with him, but now was his diary time, so the conversation would have to wait.

[Miyano Akemi and Miyano Shiho began to play roles of different colors in the early stages of this story.]
[Miyano Akemi was one of the first characters in the story to know Kudo Shinichi, and it was also because of her death that Kudo Shinichi and Miyano Shiho later formed a profound connection.]
[After taking the aptx, she, like Kudo Shinichi, triggered the drug's self-cell destruction program, thus turning into a child.]
[Because she was also a child, she had more opportunities to get involved in the cases Kudo Shinichi encountered. The number of times was even more than Ran's. However, the current situation will not allow for that.]
[With my participation, Miyano Akemi's life was saved, and Miyano Shiho was also rescued from Shirohato Pharmaceutical. The fate of the two sisters has been changed.]
[However, compared to saving the Miyano sisters, I am more curious whether the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is about to explode. I had Miss Akemi leave all the drug data her sister researched, and even some experimental records. Once the Police receive this data and begin investigating, that organization will definitely come under their special attention.]
[This is also a massive blow to the Crow Organization, which has lost its stronghold and realized its research data has been stolen. And if the organization discovers that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was involved in the raid, no matter how they learned of it, they will probably turn the Police upside down.]
[I am more curious about the situation inside the organization right now.]

Having finished today's diary entry, and filled with curiosity about the Crow Organization's current state, he began his verification method.
To know how great the impact of this event was, he would find out through the lottery.
The greater the reward, the greater the shift in fate.
[Lord of Mysteries]
[Obtained Sefirot: Brood Hive.]
Sefirot… it seems this time the impact is greater than I imagined.
It is not just about the Miyano sisters. Their change in fate might have a huge impact, but the most important part is still the aptx.
Although aptx is merely a drug, it runs through the entirety of a world, and it represents a key factor of the extraordinary.
Normally, no drug can exert such an unusual effect, turning an adult into a child. That is even more absurd than magic. Yet such an effect was achieved with a drug.
In a sense, the origin of this drug might itself be an extraordinary element.
Obtaining the formula does not mean one can fully recreate it, and even if the drug is reproduced, progress requires special talent.
Since the disappearance of the Miyano couple, the organization's research had stagnated until Shiho took over.
Perhaps this was the couple's way of protecting their daughters.
Hmm, I will think about that later.
His consciousness was drawn into a dense forest.
Ren opened his eyes; a red full moon hung in the night sky.
"Thump thump… thump thump…"
A rhythmic pulsation echoed through the forest.
It felt like a heartbeat.
Stepping into the woods, Ren ignored the scenery and walked toward the center.
At the center, after crossing a stretch of dry, desert-like ground, he saw a castle made of flesh and blood.
"Compared to other sefirots, this one looks a bit creepy."
But as soon as he said that, the Brood Hive's natural pulsation paused briefly, and then the entire structure, once plump, suddenly withered.
Ren's face twitched.
"You really understand, huh."
He placed his hand on the outer shell of the Brood Hive.
"Alright, alright, I misspoke. I didn't expect you to be even more sensitive than the others."
The next moment, the withered Brood Hive plumped back to its original state.
Its appearance clearly showed that it truly understood.
(To be continued.)
