"Is there a problem?"
Seeing that someone had noticed the thin copper chip on the back of his head, the Aquarius Director's heart leapt with shock. He glanced back at Leon and, with an expressionless face, said,
"Are you bringing this up now to forcefully find a reason to blame me for the Dream Memory Furnace malfunction?"
"I wouldn't say forcefully, just as a precaution."
Seeing that the Aquarius Director didn't answer directly and seemed to be trying to muddle through, Leon suddenly understood. The copper chip was undoubtedly very important to the Aquarius Director. Even if it wasn't the cause of bypassing memory reading, it probably wasn't obtained through legitimate means.
As for whether this suddenly exposed metal chip was a flaw deliberately shown by the Aquarius Director... it seemed unlikely.
