Chapter 139 Signal
Day 11 of the road survival game!
Rei Furuya trusted his friends and was certain they wouldn't believe Gin's sister's words without any evidence in such a serious matter, but this was too unbelievable.
It's even more incredible than their ability to travel through time. After all, time travel is theoretically achievable with technology, but manipulating time to continuously cycle through the same year is simply unbelievable.
This prompted him to ask instinctively, "You weren't joking about the 2015 time loop you just mentioned, were you? Is such a fantastical thing really possible? What evidence do you have?"
"Evidence?" Because the phone was on speakerphone, everyone could hear him, including Hagiwara. He could imagine Hagiwara's confusion and disbelief based on Kofuruya's words and tone.
And because it was Kojinpei who said these things, he seemed to find them very credible, so he couldn't help but tease him: "Kuriya, you're still so serious about things that need to be taken seriously!"
“Uh… how are we supposed to provide him with evidence? Last time we clearly calculated the time coordinates to be 11 years after Officer Morofushi’s accident, but it turned out to be the time when my brother met that Miyano Akemi on that cargo ship.”
She even witnessed Miyano Akemi's body turning into a child's after taking the silver bullet... Ugh! "When Kazehoshi heard their words, she had forgotten that her voice could be transmitted to the other party on the phone through the phone's recording.
It wasn't until they were talking that they remembered Matsuda had just mentioned that her voice could be heard by Officer Furuya through her phone, and that even her brother might have heard her voice at the Twin Towers last time, which led him to mistakenly believe that Hagiwara and Matsuda were future members of the organization.
They quickly stopped talking, feeling extremely embarrassed that they had blurted out the information about the silver bullet's effectiveness, as they hadn't yet considered whether to tell the officer.
"So it turns out that the change in Miyano Akemi's fate was really related to you." Just as Kazesei Mamoru said those words, Furuya Rei, after hearing her words, recalled the two changes in his memory just now.
Having already guessed this possibility and confirmed my previous speculation, I just couldn't quite understand the specific meaning of Gin's words. What did she mean by Miyano Akemi's body becoming childlike after taking the silver bullet? Had my Chinese deteriorated?
Or… He recalled their earlier mention of the Silver Bullet being sold over the next 16 years and being related to the US and Japan. His professional instincts kicked in, and he blurted out, “By the way, what is the Silver Bullet? You’ve mentioned it several times already.”
At the same time, Feng Xingshou felt that if they moved further away from the phone while on the call, the person on the other end wouldn't be able to hear them, so he took Hagiwara's hand and gestured for him to move a few steps to the side with him.
She asked with great annoyance and worry, "Hagiwara, I forgot for a moment that your friend could hear me. We didn't discuss these things. Is it okay for him to know about the effects of the silver bullet and Miyano Akemi's matter?"
.
"Heh... Don't worry, we were planning to tell Kofuruya about this anyway. After all, as a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, if he knew about saving your brother, he had to stop us so as not to violate his duty."
Only if Kofuya knew how serious the consequences of the silver bullet would be in the future would, given his personality, he choose to protect the people, upholding the principles of the Japanese Public Security Administration's obligation to obey orders from superiors and prioritizing the lives and health of the Japanese people and the world.
He's not the kind of person who's stubborn and inflexible, sticking to those disgusting guys. Don't be fooled by Kofuya's serious and dedicated demeanor; he works incredibly hard and follows the Japanese official code of conduct where subordinates obey all orders from their superiors.
In his heart, all of this was for the sake of protecting the Japanese people. After all, there is no country without people. If he found that he couldn't protect the Japanese people this way, he would be more likely to go mad than we are... Hagiwara had these two words on the tip of his tongue, but he hadn't said them yet!
"Ahem..." Furuya Rei on the other end of the phone coughed twice, interrupting him: "Hey! Hagiwara, don't think that praising me a few times will get you away from answering that question. Tell me what exactly the Silver Bullet is?"
Why would I help them save Gin if I already knew the truth? Why would the Silver Bullet force me to choose between my duty to the Japanese Public Security Service and the lives and health of the Japanese people, and even the people of the world?
"No way! You can hear me from several steps away, at least 4 meters away? Even with the hands-free on, is this phone's sound pickup that strong? Or..." Matsuda Mifuya, holding the phone, could hear the junior schoolgirl's voice from several meters away.
With his knowledge and understanding of the equipment, he immediately realized something: "It seems that the spacetime dimension in which Feng Jiang is located not only does not prohibit the transmission of electronic signals, but also seems to have an amplifying effect."
When Feng Xingshou heard him say this, he thought of the comments he 'saw' when he died for the first time, and thought that perhaps Matsuda's guess was right. After all, this was a program that was ostensibly a survival game, but was actually a survival live stream for intelligent life in a more technologically advanced world.
As scientists have said, science is like a series of formulas. Some formulas have been solved by humankind, while others have not. Just like the physics described in some science fiction novels, the physics that has been developed into theorems is unchanging; a theorem is a theorem.
Perhaps the same applies to the technology of the game organizers. Even if their technology is far superior to Earth's, to the point that they can use Earth as their live streaming game venue, the basic technology is still the same as Earth's.
Therefore, if they want to live stream the survivors' dungeon runs, they definitely need the technology to transmit live stream signals. Under the same or similar technological conditions, it is possible that the signal in the game dungeon's spacetime dimension is stronger than that in reality.
I wonder if this discovery will be useful to the organizers of the Earth Resistance Game. Is it possible that Earth scientists could deduce the other side's technological system based on this discovery? I'll try to hint at it to Hagiwara and the others when I get back and see what they think!
.
"We can try to figure out the cell phone signal issue later. Right now, let's focus on explaining the Silver Bullet to Zero! After all, he can move around freely in the real world as long as he knows the intelligence and the people he needs to be wary of."
They'll be able to gather more information than we can." Just as Fuusei was thinking about this, Morofushi Kagemitsu noticed the mention of the silver bullet and glanced at his watch; there were still more than 40 minutes left.
According to the dungeon rules mentioned by Hagiwara and the others, it should be enough for everyone to find the dungeon exit, so he simply said, "Zero! Do you remember when you told me about the last time you saw Dr. Miyano and his wife, and how you overheard their conversation outside the door?"
Didn't the couple mention at the time that researching a drug was Dr. Miyano's dream? That drug should have been the initial model of the Silver Bullet. Later, after the couple passed away, their second daughter, Sherry, took over the research...
Therefore, we speculate that the time when Gin was in trouble coincided with the time when the US and Japan joined forces to seize the research data and even samples of the Silver Bullet from the organization. If Gin's fate could be changed, perhaps his abilities could stop the actions of the two countries' authorities.
At worst, they could be forced to return empty-handed, and the research data on the silver bullet could be destroyed before they succeeded. After all, that man is that kind of person; if he doesn't want to give it up, he'd rather destroy it than let anyone else get it.
The organization's boss's indulgence has allowed him to act recklessly and without any fear of the boss. His hesitation in destroying the silver bullet research data could actually lead to the two countries' governments succeeding in their scheme.
As long as the silver bullets don't fall into the hands of the US and Japan, based on our years in the organization, despite participating in many of its operations and knowing that it researches some dangerous things.
However, there has never been any behavior like that of the United States, which has relentlessly released viruses such as influenza, fowl plague, swine fever, and plant diseases and pests into other countries to suppress other agricultural countries and increase their agricultural value.
Given that the organization's boss seems to prefer him, or perhaps enjoys the 'dreamlike' effects of the silver bullets exclusively with his family and friends, it can be inferred that the silver bullets would never become a commodity sold to countries around the world to generate huge profits.
So, whether it remains in the hands of the organization or is completely destroyed during the opportunity seized by the US and Japan, the tens of millions of people in Japan and the numerous victims around the world will be able to change that terrible future, and innocent people will not have to pay the price for the greed of the capitalists behind the scenes of the two countries' governments.
It seems that Morofushi really wanted to persuade Furuya, which is why he said so much about the silver bullet. He even used the language skills of presenting facts and reasoning to persuade others on his childhood friend.
I wonder what Kofuya is thinking? Given his personality, I'm certain he's on the side of the Japanese people and the world, but I only spent a few months with him at the police academy and know nothing about his later experiences.
Perhaps he is different from the Kofuya he knew from his police academy days. Perhaps he doesn't trust Gin's sister at all, and he is also skeptical of what his current friends, whom he only knows by name and has never met, say. After all, Kofuya is a very cautious person...
Just as Hagiwara was saying he trusted Furuya Rei but was actually a little worried, after hearing Hiro's words, there was a nearly one-minute silence on the other end of the phone before Furuya Rei's distinctive clear voice rang out again: "I understand!"
