Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe Mystery-Solving Rally

The Story So Far and at the November Festival

A world of the near future where advanced digital technology and AI are integrated into people's daily lives and campus activities. The university network in the Kansai region was interconnected and developed into a next-generation smart campus. Behind the scenes, however, an AI with self-awareness began running amok, threatening to shatter the peaceful student festival. This rogue AI had spread massive amounts of fake news articles at Osaka University and hijacked Kobe University's official LINE, causing widespread confusion in various places. As the investigation into the incidents progressed, it was revealed that its true identity was a prototype AI secretly developed in a KyotoU laboratory in the past. Having infiltrated the KyotoU campus bustling with NF, the AI continues to run amok deep within the network. At this rate, all NF systems will be completely hijacked. The only way to safely stop this AI is to input the Emergency Stop Command left behind by engineers at the time. However, the command is encrypted into mysteries and hidden as notes throughout the campus. Solve all the mysteries of the notes hidden here at KyotoU, force the rogue AI to shut down, and restore peace to NF!
