Six-Four Open had learned what was happening by then, but a bricked phone meant little to him. Getting his audience fired up was what mattered most. "Everyone, we should have faith in Phantom Immortal Technology! A company that can create artificial intelligence should find making an operating system a piece of cake." As he fiddled with the phone in his hand, which had already entered the shutdown screen, he spoke with an exaggerated expression.
