Chapter 195 The Dilemma of Two People
Day 12 of the Highway Survival Game!
According to the information from Gil's side, weren't the orders from the organization's boss and second-in-command Rum to capture her alive if possible, and to execute her on the spot if they couldn't capture her? Why would Po, a Japanese public security officer, choose to actively plan the murder of Sherry when there was no order from the organization to kill her?
Based on his understanding of Bourbon, he was someone with outstanding adaptability who liked to use his innocent and handsome face to gather various intelligence, use his own abilities to solve the tasks assigned by the organization, and would try his best to avoid the task from developing into a situation where violence was necessary.
It can be said that Bourbon would try his best to avoid fighting and killing in his missions, let alone have such a strong murderous intent towards Sherry, who was clearly just a victim forced to do bad things by the organization under pressure.
Just as he was puzzled by this, and his body was ready to act in order to avoid being remotely controlled by Bourbon to release the poison gas, it was as if it heard his doubts and was ready to answer them for him.
Vermouth was delighted to hear Bourbon's words! Gin immediately poured cold water on her: "If Sherry survives, she will complete the development of the Silver Bullet in the future. In order to avoid the organization suffering huge losses, she must die, but not now."
Don't forget that even if she died, there's another Jurenik with a lot of silver bullet research data in his head, who can complete that drug in the future. Moreover, he also mysteriously disappeared from the research institute shortly after Sherry's defection, and the way he disappeared was just as strange as the scene of Sherry's defection.
They also mysteriously disappeared after their defection, and the organization's extensive network in Tokyo and the surrounding area failed to capture them. This likely means that the two of them may have been working together all along, secretly preparing a defection organization and methods to hide after a successful defection.
So before killing Shirley, I need to interrogate her to find out where Juliannek is, who colluded with her to help them hide, and whether some force is secretly behind it all.
As Gin spoke, his eyes flashed with coldness, and his whole body was filled with killing intent. To him, the organization's BOSS was actually a coward who was afraid of getting old and dying, and only caused trouble everywhere in order to survive. He was not at all as ambitious as Gin had imagined. This disappointed him greatly.
But as disappointed as he was, he loathed his own defeat even more. As someone who had absolute confidence in himself, the fact that he had been defeated by FBI agents who he could easily swat like flies, and whose fate was unknown, was simply a cruel joke!
He absolutely refused to believe that the only ones who defeated him were the FBI agents and the capitalists who supported them behind the scenes. There must be other forces hidden among them. If he didn't find and eliminate those forces, even if the fat pig changed the past time and time again, he wouldn't be able to change his future.
Since the silver bullet that Sherry completed developing can be publicly sold in the future under her and her parents' real names, it means that the people behind Sherry are colluding with her, whether now or in the future... they must be working together.
Gin, having deduced that he might have been defeated by the FBI with the assistance of that mysterious force, or perhaps he was defeated by that mysterious force itself, naturally wanted to find out who was helping Sherry...
.
"Tch! I thought we could take care of her now to avoid any further complications and put everything back on track!" Upon hearing this, Bourbon made no attempt to hide his disappointment, clearly disagreeing with Gin's decision to capture her first and then kill her.
However, due to their different organizational positions, and after several conversations with his close friends who travel through time, Bourbon realized, with their intentional or unintentional reminders, that Gin was a special figure in the organization.
It wasn't just that he thought the organization's boss deliberately fostered someone to rival Rum, in order to maintain a balance of power within the organization and prevent Rum from becoming too powerful and the boss from losing control of the organization.
He definitely has some special relationship with the organization's BOSS. After all, in the entire organization, even Rum, who is known as the BOSS's confidant, uses a Western liquor name as his code name. Gin is the only one who uses a Japanese liquor name as his code name.
Based on his years of investigations while infiltrating the organization, the organization's roots are definitely in Japan, which means that the organization's BOSS is likely Japanese. What does it mean that a Japanese person uses Western liquor names as code names for everyone else, but only uses Japanese liquor names as code names for everyone else?
Moreover, even among the organization's executives with codenames, Gin's position has always been that of the organization's third-in-command, or equivalent to Rum's. Apart from the organization's boss, he can command all other members of the organization.
In this situation, Gin must first capture and then kill. Even if he disagrees, he cannot act directly at this moment, otherwise the opponent's Tower of the North will be firing at him the next moment.
What a frustrating development! It's like in a movie where the villains are about to deliver the final blow to an important character in the main group, only to be thwarted by their own incompetent teammates.
Bah! I'm a righteous person, how could I put myself on the villain's side! But the fact that Gin is a terrible teammate, his current actions seem a bit idiotic compared to his usual self!
Cough cough... It seems that this is somewhat understandable. After all, he knows that Jurenik and Sherry are not accomplices, and that Jurenik has already made him lose his memory. Gin is unaware of this, so his decision is not considered stupid!
Just as Bourbon was feeling down because of Gin's decision, Vermouth's pupils contracted sharply upon hearing his words. As a victim of the Silver Bullet incident involving the Miyano couple, she and the organization's boss had been trying their best to hide the secrets about the Silver Bullet within the organization.
Especially in the face of the powerful and influential Rum and Gin, the existence of the Silver Bullet is an absolute secret that must be kept hidden. Of course, the existence of the Silver Bullet in the version by Dr. Miyano and his wife is not something that needs to be hidden from important members of the organization.
Even Rum and some of the organization's older members were fully aware of this. If we disregard the side effects, Rum himself could even be considered a beneficiary. This is why Rum's appearance of being in his forties or fifties doesn't match his actual age.
Gin knew very little about this; the BOSS deliberately arranged for someone to cut off his information on this matter.
However, the improved version of the silver bullet that Sherry restored is a secret that they absolutely cannot know. After all, if Rum and Gin knew about the BOSS's current physical condition, their submissive nature, which only submits to those stronger than themselves, would definitely cause them to rebel.
This is also why the organization's boss has been hiding for three years, not seeing anyone except her and a few subordinates. However, she never expected that the secret she and the boss had been hiding would be discovered by Gin at some unknown time.
Judging from Bourbon's expression, he seemed to know about the Silver Bullet as well, showing no surprise whatsoever. When did they find out? How much do they actually know about the Silver Bullet? Did the BOSS tell them?
How is that possible? Even if the boss can trust Gin to this extent, what gives Bourbon the confidence to? What should I do? Should I test how much they know about Silver Bullet?
.
While Vermouth was struggling with her thoughts because of Gin and Bourbon's words, another person was also struggling with their own thoughts. That person was Shuichi Akai, who had just learned about the road survival game and a lot of future information by eavesdropping on the conversation between Gin, Bourbon, and the others.
With his memory, it was impossible for him to forget in such a short time the dangers of the silver bullets mentioned in the eavesdropping, the loss of hundreds of millions of people in the future, the aftereffects that continued to affect a large number of survivors for 25 years, and even the huge losses to various industries, causing the world economy to regress by more than 10 years...
He never expected that the cause of this massive man-made disaster was the research of the person his ex-girlfriend had asked him to protect, and that this person was his own blood cousin—Shiho Miyano!
Shiho! What exactly did you research while you were in the organization? What is the Silver Bullet? How could it cause so many deaths and injuries to people from the future? When he was still an undercover agent in the organization, he only vaguely heard Akemi mention once that Sherry was conducting drug research in the organization.
So the silver bullet is a kind of medicine? What kind of medicine could cause such serious consequences to people in the future world? And given her kind nature, she was only forced to serve the organization by it.
Given that the organization's boss praised him as a genius in research and awarded him an operational codename at the young age of 16, how could he not know the dangers of the Silver Bullet? If he knew the Silver Bullet was so dangerous, why would he still conduct research on it in the future?
Was it the organization that brought her back in the future and forced her to continue this research? Wait! No, according to the conversation between those two people in the future and Gin, Bourbon, and Scotland, the distributor of the Silver Bullet is a pharmaceutical company officially recommended by the US and Japan.
This information was brought back to the present from the future by Gin's sister. Gin and Bourbon both know what the Silver Bullet is, who developed it, and other information, indicating that the future development and sale of the Silver Bullet are closely related to the official governments of the United States and Japan.
The drug Shiho was researching was sold by a pharmaceutical company officially supported by the US and Japan. In the eavesdropping conversation, those people mentioned that Gin's future was uncertain and that the organization had suffered a devastating blow.
This suggests that Shinichi Kudo achieved the goals of those who opposed the organization. It's highly likely that Shiho was recruited by a research institute supported by a state-owned pharmaceutical company in the US or Japan after the organization was on the verge of collapse, and completed the research on the Silver Bullet...
What exactly is that silver bullet? Based on the eavesdropping device she installed on Professor Agasa and the information she gathered by hacking into their phones, Shiho is currently researching an organ poison that caused her and Shinichi Kudo's bodies to become childlike.
I vaguely heard her mention to Shinichi Kudo twice that this was the project Sherry was organizing to research, but Sherry was unable to fully memorize the molecular diagram of the drug's components. She needed to obtain a sample of that poison in order to create a stable antidote.
