Chapter 7: The Dove Occupies the Magpie's Nest (Edited) "So, Teacher, who is...
The researchers were silent.
The new researcher Lin is really difficult to get along with.
Lin Xi, who had made a PUA speech like an unscrupulous boss, ignored them. After throwing the research materials to them, he raised his chin and motioned Gin to follow him.
The boy stretched his body.
He didn't know if it was the effect of the medicine Lin Xi had just given him, but he felt that the dull pain in his body had gotten much better.
Lin Xi seemed to notice this as well and smiled with satisfaction.
The small pill just now was the medicine for injuries given by the system when upgrading fighting skills.
System products are bound to be top-notch. Even the glaring bruises have faded considerably.
The boy followed Lin Xi into an office.
"Sit down." She brought a small cushioned stool for the boy.
"You should have felt it yourself, right? Your physical condition is very special. I'll tell you the details later."
Young man, your physical condition is very special. Let me help you figure out what exactly is special about it.
Lin Xi pushed his silver-rimmed glasses, turned on the computer, and began to browse the information of the organization's base openly.
She has the highest authority in the entire institute - those company shareholders are not included.
After quickly browsing the information about the Silver Bullet project, Lin Xi had an idea in mind.
This project was indeed not established for the purpose of benefiting the country and the people.
Of course, Baijiu Pharmaceutical is not a good company that is praised by everyone.
In short, this company is a pharmaceutical company led by the state and sponsored by aristocratic families. On the surface, it is just an ordinary drug manufacturing company, but secretly it is researching the same things that politicians and shareholders are interested in - very clichéd and unoriginal - methods of immortality and delaying death with drugs.
The Silver Bullet Project is the oldest of all the projects researching the drug of immortality and was once the most promising.
It is said to be old because it was not a project established later in Japan, but was inherited directly from a Soviet laboratory; it is said to have once been the most promising because of gin.
Gin was also inherited from the Soviet Union and is their only "successful" case.
The Soviets claimed that this drug could greatly enhance the self-repair ability of human cells, make the body stronger, and slow down the aging process.
Although it is still far from immortality, it is still a significant breakthrough.
Zero is indeed strong and healthy - data shows that his reaction and recovery abilities are several times that of ordinary people, and his strength is also extraordinary.
Even more valuable is his high IQ. In the past, there were failed experimental subjects who, after acquiring extremely strong physical qualities, became idiots and were completely unable to communicate.
But after Gin, there has never been a similar success case.
The researchers were eager to see results on him and kept injecting him with Silver Bullet.
Although he was in great pain every time the drug took effect, he managed to survive each time. Unlike other test subjects, he did not die from various reasons, nor did he develop an antibody reaction or drug resistance to Silver Bullet.
But other than that, the project has not made any progress.
As time went by, even the shareholders who were initially excited no longer had hope for this project, and instead shifted their attention and funds to other sister projects.
Only Karasuma Renya was still paying attention to this project and handed it over to Lin Xi who had returned to China.
Looking at the screen in front of him, Lin Xi pondered for a while.
This information...is not accurate.
At least not completely accurately.
The Soviets believed that Silver Bullet had a certain effect on Gin, but it did not achieve the effect of immortality.
But they were wrong.
In fact, without them knowing it, they *already* succeeded.
Gin had indeed achieved immortality, this was what the system told her.
The moment I saw Gin, the system's character panel was updated.
Gin
"An absolutely loyal member of the organization, the boss's most trusted codename. Subject number zero in the Silver Bullet project. Long-term Silver Bullet injections have caused changes in his body, resulting in the effects of immortality."
"He is currently 17 years old, and his bones have not yet stopped growing. The effects of immortality will gradually become apparent after his body reaches its optimal growth state."
She turned her head and looked at the boy who was sitting on a low stool and was a head shorter than her.
So, this guy actually hasn't grown up yet, so no one has discovered that he is immortal.
If they knew, it wouldn't be so easy for her to take full control of his operations today.
"Give me your hand." She held out her hand to the boy.
Gin hesitated for a moment, but still reached out his hand obediently.
Her slender fingers grasped his wrist and removed the bracelet he was wearing.
This bracelet is specially provided for the experimental subjects. It has a positioning system and a magnetic disk. Wearing this bracelet will trigger the entire area alarm when approaching the elevator.
Gin was stunned as he watched the bracelet being casually thrown into the trash can by the woman.
"Let's talk." The woman turned her chair so she was facing him. "How much do you know about the experiments being performed on you?"
Gin still stared at her coldly and didn't intend to answer.
The woman didn't get angry. She continued in the calm tone of someone explaining a patient's condition, "The experiments the Soviets and Japanese conducted on you have transformed your body. Not only are you now as strong as an ox, you also possess a strong self-healing ability. Your cells can also maintain a healthy form and regenerate infinitely—in other words, you have a lifespan unmatched by ordinary people. Theoretically, it's infinite, but since what happened to you is unprecedented, I'm hesitant to make a definitive conclusion."
Gin's pupils shrank.
Infinite lifespan?
Immortality?
This was not in his plan.
If this matter were discovered - although the woman in front of him had already discovered it - he would be controlled more strictly.
This would hinder his goal of blowing up the institute and escaping.
but……
Gin glanced at the bracelet abandoned in the trash can.
Things seem to be turning around.
Lin Xi admired the change in his expression for a moment and continued, "Don't worry, they haven't discovered this secret yet. I'm the only one who knows it."
Gin stared into her eyes.
This person...
"what you up to."
Lin Xi smiled and did not answer the question. Instead, she asked another question that had nothing to do with the topic: "Do you like drinking?"
liquor?
He had been drinking.
It’s hard to say whether it tastes good or not. To him, it’s just something that can maintain body temperature in the cold.
He paused for a moment and replied cautiously: "...I'm not an adult."
Lin Xi raised his eyebrows: "Sorry, I forgot. So this means you don't like it?"
Gin didn't know why she asked such a boring question.
"It doesn't matter." He said, just wanting this mysterious woman to get to the point. "What exactly do you want to do?"
Lin Xi smiled.
"I want to make a deal with you."
"What?" Gin said coldly, "I have nothing to give you. If you want to use my information about immortality to blackmail me, then you can do it-"
"—No, that's impossible. I was thinking of something more interesting."
So far, the system has given her too much freedom.
It was so high that she couldn't help but want to test where the boundary of her changing the main line was.
In the original plot, the organization is huge and mysterious, and the identity of the boss is so shrouded in mystery that even the organization's own members don't know.
When he traveled through time, Conan had not yet finished and the identity of the boss had not yet been revealed.
The game she entered was called "Detective Conan: Remake".
The tasks issued by the system bound to you are related to completing the plot.
Then, Lin Xi wondered, could it be that the comic book she entered was unfinished?
Maybe... even the moment when the boss's identity is revealed has not yet been serialized.
In other words, in this world, the BOSS setting is still blank.
But some important characters weren't set up that way. Take Gin, for example. The character system clearly states that he's "the boss's most trusted code member."
If she let Gin become a code member, the code member she trusted the most...
Will she become the BOSS?
This is another test of the system's freedom. If successful, she will not only have an identity related to the organization, but will also become the most important character in the second half of Conan's plot, allowing her to have more initiative in the plot.
This is much more interesting than working diligently as a researcher under an old shareholder.
"Well, it's not quite right to call it a deal. 'Cooperation' is a better word. I'll take you out of here, help you become stronger, and ensure your safety until you're strong enough to protect yourself. I'll also stabilize the effects of the drugs in your body."
"And you--" Lin Xi pointed her finger at his eyes.
From the very beginning, she felt that this future villain was too good-looking.
She likes good-looking people.
Good-looking people always have some privileges.
"Help me kill who I want to kill, help me get what I want..." Her fingers moved upwards, Gin did not dodge, his eyes brightened surprisingly because of what she said.
"Finally, if you are strong enough, I will allow you to kill me." Lin Xi removed his hand and said with a smile, "How about it? On that day, you will be truly free."
Arrogant.
This person said "you are allowed to kill me", but his expression was so nonchalant that it was obvious that he didn't think he was strong enough to kill her.
A familiar anger emerged from the bottom of his heart, mixed with inflated ambition and the clamoring desire to become stronger, making Gin involuntarily clench his fists.
"Okay." On the surface, he gave Lin Xi a polite smile, as if responding to her previous remarks mocking his lack of social etiquette.
"So, Sensei, who is my first target?"
