Chapter 170 Bourbon's Future
Day 12 of the Highway Survival Game!
He then secretly investigated another little girl of unknown origin who was sponsored and provided with information by Dr. Agasa for enrollment. Only a few days ago, when he personally tracked her down, did he discover that there were only a few children who entered the cabin on the mountain in Gunma together.
After the cabin was set on fire, Sherry and three other children emerged, but the little girl who had been staying at Professor Agasa's house was not there. When the little girl appeared, Sherry disappeared as well...
After confirming that the two had never appeared together, that Sherry could also be childish, and that they had researched ways to remove the childish effect and freely control the transformation between their body types, etc.
Having investigated everything, he made up his mind about Sherry, who had research data and results on the silver bullet, and Yamada, the researcher he had found based on their childish state, from police reports of unidentified six- or seven-year-old children.
The two researchers who were the main contributors to the current silver bullet model are not available to either the Japanese government or any organization, and it is even impossible for them to continue researching this drug.
However, researcher Yamada somehow managed to cause her to lose her memory and revert to the mindset of a real child after being childish, perhaps due to the unstable efficacy of the Silver Bullet drug.
Researcher Yamada, in this state, naturally had no possibility of continuing his research on the silver bullet, nor could he bring himself to kill someone who was in the mindset of a child and had lost the possibility of researching this drug.
No action was taken against him, and he was allowed to stay temporarily in the home of the couple who had adopted him. However, he knew very well that Researcher Yamada would not stay there for long, based on the various investigations conducted on him.
He discovered that after Yamada lost his memory and reported the incident to the police without any results, and during the time he was adopted by the couple, and even during the time he began to investigate him, his physical condition was very strange; he could eat and excrete normally.
His body did not grow at all. This growth was not just in height and weight, but also in parts of his body such as hair and nails, which should have grown faster than bones. What's even stranger is that...
When he secretly cut off a section of hair at the back of his head that he wouldn't easily notice, about 24 hours later, the cut hair grew back to its original length very quickly.
Based on this, Bourbon concluded that as long as Researcher Yamada is not detoxified by the silver bullet, his physique will remain that of a child, which is manageable during the 2014-2015 time loop.
Parents might be careless and not even notice, but what happens when this cycle ends? Biological parents might be able to continue to love and raise a child who never grows up, but how many parents can maintain that for an adopted child?
Even many biological parents can't hold on, let alone those who aren't biological parents? I estimate that when the fact that he won't grow up is discovered, he'll be abandoned by that couple before long. I can use this time to prepare a suitable place and manpower.
After adopting him, observe whether his side effects are persistent and how long they last. Resolve another doubt in his mind. As for Sherry, who retains her memories and adult intelligence, and is also the lead researcher of Silver Bullet?
Even if she was the daughter of a hellish angel, he had no intention of showing mercy. Besides, he didn't understand, nor did he want to understand, why that couple would research a drug that should absolutely never exist in the world...
.
The reason he came to the conclusion that the future version of himself from Fengsang was no longer there was because he understood his own personality very well, and the experiences of the past year led him to this deduction.
After all, he was sent to track and investigate Kogoro Mouri on Rum's orders. Rum still doesn't know about time travel, so his actions were certainly not the result of Fuu-sang taking his friend through time.
This should be part of the development of time and space itself, so naturally, he noticed Conan's difference, investigated and found out that he was the real detective behind Kogoro Mouri, Sherry was on his side... and other information. He believed that his counterpart in that time and space could definitely do the same.
Given her personality, as long as she knew that Shinichi Kudo's body had become childish and he was impersonating Conan, even if she didn't know the side effects of the Silver Bullet, as long as she investigated and found out that the reason his body could become childish was the organization's poison, she would definitely destroy everything related to this poison at all costs.
His own work has shown him how far people around the world who hold power, status, and wealth can go in their pursuit of longevity and eternal youth, even going so far as to have their own grandchildren's blood drawn in an attempt to regain their youth through blood transfusions.
Unfortunately, 90% of the world's wealth, power, and resources are controlled by a small group of people, so if there really were a drug that could make people young again...
The first thing that comes to mind is, if it were truly possible to reverse aging, what crazy things would those at the top of the world's pyramid do for it?
Rejuvenation—whether it's stopping time in the body or rejuvenating and growing again, it means that a person who should have died of old age will no longer die.
If those at the top of the pyramid obtain this drug, they will definitely share it with their relatives and friends, or exchange it for huge profits with people of equal status. It is easy to imagine what these people who will not die but control most of the world's resources will do next.
Earth is only so big; they would never share the elixir of immortality with ordinary people. On the contrary, ordinary people would be seen as wasteful of their resources for eternal life.
In this way, the absurd plots in movies and TV shows that use conspiracies and tricks to reduce the human population and cut off the reproduction of ordinary people are very likely to actually happen in the world, until the entire planet is left with only a group of young-looking old people...
He knew himself well. Once he found out the reason for Shinichi Kudo's childishness, he would do everything in his power to destroy everything related to the drug, regardless of whether the researchers were truly innocent or pretending to be.
The fact that this drug will not only be developed in the future, but also sold on a large scale, signifies one thing: I probably won't live to see the US and Japan officially seize the drug's research data from the organization.
Or perhaps, like Hiro, unlike now, he foresaw the future in another sense and was wary of his colleagues at work, whereas in the original future, he trusted his colleagues completely.
Caught off guard, those behind the scenes in the high command of the public security bureau probably already obtained their psychological assessments from their psychology experts and other professionals.
He never overestimated human nature, nor would he gamble on it in matters fraught with immense danger. They assessed their own character and knew that they would become an obstacle or threat to the Silver Bullet.
Then, before taking any action, just like dealing with Hiro, you must first eliminate yourself before starting. Otherwise, as long as you are alive, you cannot allow something like the Silver Bullet, which should not exist, to fall into the hands of those who should not have it.
.
Therefore, fearing that acting too late would alert the Public Security Bureau to his 'malice' towards everything related to Silver Bullet, he deliberately leaked the information that Sherry would be taking this train today, thus disregarding the Public Security Bureau's powerful influence in Japan.
Using the organization's power and Vermouth's murderous intent towards Sherry, they planned to eliminate her completely on this train, nipping the Silver Bullet in the bud. Afterwards, it would be convenient to blame the incident on the organization, pretending that they found out too late and had no chance to stop it.
Unexpectedly, he received another call from Feng Sang and the others today, right here, and learned even more unbelievable information about the future...
He didn't want to tell his friends these speculations and make them worry, but now that he knows Feng Sang's abilities and the reasons why his friends changed their fate, he has some hesitation.
Should we tell them these theories? Let them take risks for an uncertain future? But if we don't let them take risks, their future selves might really die without being able to change their fate.
When the game finally arrives, will I already be gone? Or can I hope to have a smooth ride like the class monitor, always remaining suspicious of the police and finding a way to avoid death?
Just as these thoughts surfaced in his mind, the people who heard his question were all taken aback. No one except Kazesei-no-Mori herself could answer this question, not even Hagiwara, who claimed to be her future boyfriend.
Feng Xing Shou, who was standing to the side, watched as the carriage quieted down because of the issue related to her abilities. Even if she was very magnanimous, she did not want to reveal her extremely private secret when faced with this question that involved her abilities for the first time.
However, if they were to lie and admit that this ability came from the game, Hagiwara and Matsuda had both checked their game panels and personally accessed the game's regional information channels, and they both knew that the game did not have this function.
The only way to acquire special abilities is through the mental awakening potion with a success rate. The prerequisite for obtaining that potion is owning a trailer truck, which they didn't have when they met them.
Therefore, even if we could fool the blond police officer and the officer who had only been in the survival game for two days, we couldn't fool them. Besides, it was only a matter of time before the officer discovered it was a lie. If he found out, would he not tell his friend?
Thinking of all this, Feng Xingshou, who felt immense pressure in the silent carriage, had a sudden inspiration and spoke into Hagiwara's ear: "The surname Feng originates from Nuwa and Fuxi. My mother's surname Feng can be traced back to her family."
She didn't directly say that this ability was innate, but this statement seemed to say everything. The reason she said this was because she believed that her ability to acquire this game skill after death must be related to the blessing of her ancestors.
