Chapter 222 The drug's effects are too strong.

◎Day 13 of the Highway Survival Game!◎

Therefore, it can be inferred that after taking the Miyano version of APTX4869, the older the person is, the greater the age range of childishness, and conversely, the younger the person is, the smaller the age range of childishness.

That gentleman is already over 140 years old. Even though he took the first version of the Silver Bullet from the Miyano couple 20 years ago, and his physical age was frozen at over 120 years old, roughly calculated according to the age at which Akai Mary reversed her aging.

After taking the Shiho Miyano version of APTX4869, his body, after becoming childlike, would not have exceeded the size of a two-year-old. It can be said that the effects of the Shiho Miyano version of APTX4869 were too strong for that gentleman's age.

The boss of a transnational criminal organization appears to be less than two years old. If he were to show his face, he would be completely unconvincing. Moreover, it would be better if he could grow up like a normal person with such a physique.

He could order Vermouth to disguise herself as him and show up a few times to fool his subordinates, while he waited for his body to grow back over the years. Then, just as Vermouth disguised herself as his daughter, he could disguise himself as his offspring and 'inherit' his organization.

However, the APTX4869 version by Shiho Miyano, like the original Silver Bullet version by the Miyano couple, has the effect of stopping human growth. Under such circumstances, no matter how long that man waits, his body will not grow.

Therefore, the man could only try to solve the problem of APTX4869 causing his body to stop growing, and at the same time, he also had to solve the problem of not being able to show himself in front of the organization members after taking APTX4869.

It is estimated that this occurred shortly after Shiho Miyano was given the codename "Operation Sherry," and also shortly after Itakura Taku's four-dimensional projection system and Vermouth's mission to infiltrate the British intelligence headquarters to check if there was any research data on the silver bullets that Akai Tsutomu had passed on. Both of these were to solve these two problems.

The four-dimensional projection system can use technology to deceive people's vision and hearing, creating the image that is still the same as before, making it impossible for people to guess that he is now a child who still needs to wear diapers.

Vermouth's mission to England was probably because that gentleman believed that if they obtained the silver bullet research data previously studied by the Miyano couple, Shiho Miyano, with her talent in inheriting her parents' research, would have a high probability of solving the problem of his body's inability to grow again.

Whether it was coercing Itakura Suguru into completing the mind projection system or going to the British intelligence headquarters, that man always sent Vermouth to do it, not anyone else, or anyone else from his mother's family.

The man trusted Vermouth not only because they were related, but also probably because Vermouth was also a survivor of APTX4869, they shared a common secret, and Vermouth likely knew about his current physical condition.

The man was extremely suspicious of the weak infant's body. He only trusted Vermouth, who knew about his physical condition and still served him. So even though the fat pig brought back so much suspicious information about her future, the man still trusted Vermouth.

.

As for Scotland, whose identity was exposed in the same year, the fact that he would run into trouble at such a delicate time, if Gin hadn't known about the existence of the Symbiosis Cult, he would have just thought it was a coincidence. But given the existence of the Symbiosis Cult, Gin doesn't think it's such a coincidence.

Although no evidence was found, his intuition told him that the Japanese members of the Symbiosis Cult might have an undercover agent planted in the organization very close to the core of the organization's research, or someone who knew about the man's recent situation, and who knew that the man had successfully rejuvenated.

After confirming that the organization had once again developed the Silver Bullet, even enhancing its anti-aging effects, they chose to deliberately expose Scotland's identity and silence him after discovering that Scotland had indirectly come into contact with someone knowledgeable about the Silver Bullet research project...

Given Gin's personality, once he deduced these things, he couldn't be 100% certain of them without seeing them with his own eyes, and naturally he wouldn't take any further action because of these uncertainties.

However, he didn't stay idle after that. He secretly hired international hackers to infiltrate a large number of Japanese surveillance facilities to find the whereabouts of Vermouth or suspected Vermouth, in order to find the intersection.

He deduced the approximate location of the man so he could personally confirm whether his physical condition matched his prediction. If so, Gin would no longer play these games with the organization, which he had no interest in.

After working in the organization for so many years, he had saved enough money to switch jobs and find one that interested him. He couldn't bring himself to do a job where he had to be loyal to a baby in diapers and call him "sir".

On the other hand, before the organization had obtained information about the Symbiosis Cult, he deliberately concealed his identity in order to lure people in, creating ambiguity regarding Mary Akai, Shinichi Kudo, and Shiho Miyano.

The information leak involving APTX4869 vaguely led him to suspect some suspicious individuals within the organization, as well as the people and forces related to Silver Bullet that Fatty and her boyfriend had mentioned during their last meeting.

After Bourbon investigated the Symbiotic Cult, his target for fishing with three people gradually expanded to those who might have connections with the Symbiotic Cult based on clues. Unfortunately, time was limited, and the people he wanted to fish out were also very cautious, so progress on these two objectives was limited.

The only gain was that before Bourbon investigated the Symbiosis Cult, he deliberately and subtly passed on some ambiguous information about Shiho Miyano, Shinichi Kudo, and APTX4869 to the Japanese government and capital circles that would later promote silver submunitions.

The reaction of the Ooka family and his relatives and some subordinate forces was somewhat subtle. After they realized it, no one seemed to intend to investigate. Instead, they secretly and discreetly helped Shinichi Kudo clean up any traces that had given him away.

Aside from that, there's the fact that Bourbon discovered the existence of the Symbiosis Cult. It seems like he'd be better used as bait. Gin isn't as impatient as Rum, and he didn't rush to arrange for people to take action as soon as he heard about the information on that list.

From the very beginning, he felt that the intelligence on the list of undercover agents from the Japanese Public Security Bureau was problematic. Japan is not a major or powerful country; it is a country that does not even have its own military autonomy. Other countries would exclude undercover agents to conduct international crime investigations.

There is absolutely no need to communicate with the Japanese Public Security Bureau or transmit their undercover agents' names to them. Even if there were such law-abiding and respectful officials in a country like Japan, the Japanese government would be out of their minds to compile such confidential information into a list.

It was also stored in the Japanese Public Security Bureau's database of information that is relatively public, and the timing was just right. Bourbon had just applied to that gentleman for an in-depth investigation of the Symbiosis Cult when this information, which required confirmation from a higher-level intelligence officer, came in.

When Gin first heard about this, he sensed a conspiracy targeting Bourbon. So, after Curaçao sent back intelligence, he went easy on Bourbon during his interrogation, and even when Bourbon escaped, Gin didn't actively send people to track him down...

.

Because of Hagiwara's words, he quickly recalled his experiences over the past year and replied simply and decisively: "There have been some gains. The information you provided regarding the cruise ship sinking was very meaningful."

The Ooka family definitely has problems, and if my reasoning is correct, they may have members of a symbiotic cult, such as the influential former Prime Minister Ooka!

"As expected, it was him. Little Bourbon just sent me an investigation email from the Symbiosis Cult, which stated that Glorious Pharmaceuticals is a Symbiosis Cult business. I guessed at the time that since the United States sells Silver Bullets, Glorious Pharmaceuticals is a Symbiosis Cult business."

It's likely that the top US politicians and other high-profile figures supporting Glorious Pharmaceuticals behind the scenes are all connected to the Symbiosis Cult. Similarly, Amaterasu Pharmaceuticals, which will sell silver bullets in Japan in the future.

"Those top figures in Japan who endorse Amaterasu Pharmaceuticals might also be related to the Symbiosis Cult." Hagiwara, upon hearing Gin's reply, was surprised, even though Fuu-chan had already told him about some shady dealings between the future Prime Minister Ooka's family and his son-in-law, the future Prime Minister.

When I discovered during the cruise ship sinking instance that he seemed to be the mastermind behind the Yatsushiro Shipbuilding incident, I had already confirmed that the Ooka family and that former prime minister had problems. Now that I know that the other party is actually a symbiotic cultist, I feel that reality is too ironic.

No wonder that the Self-Defense Force member who shot the former Japanese prime minister mentioned a cult when Feng Jiang knew about it, but the details were unclear. Now it seems that the Self-Defense Force member may have found out that the Ooka family and his son-in-law, the prime minister, were both followers of the Symbiosis Cult.

They only dared to attack in public after learning about the doctrines of the Symbiosis Cult. The followers of this cult, who outwardly claim to be righteous and that their doctrines are correct, know better than anyone that once their doctrines are made public, they will be the enemy of the world.

They naturally wouldn't make their existence public, which is why the reports about cults that Feng Jiang heard were so ambiguous. It's even possible that the Symbiosis Cult members leaked their existence before discovering the Self-Defense Force member's assassination attempt, and might find another cult to take the blame for them...

Overhearing their conversation, Kazekage asked Gin with interest, "Brother, what have you found out? How did you determine that the Ooka family is involved in something?"

“We’ve investigated a lot. To put it simply, it’s about me…” Gin came to see them in person to exchange information so that the Fat Piglet and the others who can travel through time and space would have enough information to find out more about what happened to him.

Only by resolving his future death crisis can his own fat piglet concentrate on facing the challenges of the survival game. Therefore, his investigation results over the past year were due to reasons such as professional ethics and the information exchange between Hagiwara and Bourbon.

He didn't reveal what he had found out about the organization's boss and Vermouth also being users of APTX4869. He only mentioned that he had investigated the relationship between the Bellende Group, Vermouth, and the organization's boss's mother, and that he was highly trusted by the organization's boss.
