Chapter 217 Reasons for Persuasion
◎Day 13 of the Highway Survival Game!◎
This is also a speculation that Feng Xing Shou made after realizing that survival games value the awakening and cultivation of the survivors' mental strength. She felt that it might be because, apart from the ordinary work troubles she encountered in her daily life, what she cared about most was her brother's life and death.
She also knew very well that her brother had gone missing after working for a big boss in Japan for many years. Subconsciously, she always felt that something might have happened to her brother in Japan, which is why this game, which is mainly about cultivating human spiritual power, locked Japan, which she longed for, as its instance.
She even felt that the instance she entered was the scene of destruction caused by a case in Japan, rather than the scene of other disasters, because she was influenced by the idea that her brother might have been involved in a double-cross in a case in Japan, or that he had gone missing because of the Japanese authorities' 'law enforcement'.
Bourbon, Hagiwara, and Shuichi Akai are all excellent at reasoning, and they all know that she keeps wandering through these historical timelines in order to change Gin's fate.
Although Feng Xingshou didn't explain the rest of her words in detail, her previous remarks made them immediately understand the unspoken parts. However, time was of the essence, and they didn't have time to explain these things in detail.
Therefore, just a few seconds after Feng Xingshou finished speaking, Shuichi Akai, who had recovered, walked over to Namimoto while maintaining his balance on the Ferris wheel and said in a slightly louder voice, "It's okay if we can't go to the United States."
My father is an experienced secret service agent. He sent us a text message before the incident and asked someone to hide us family members. Obviously, he had anticipated the danger.
He probably just didn't expect who attacked him, or the powerful force behind it. I believe that if given some relevant information, he can arrange a more comprehensive plan for his escape.
After reading what Bourbon had discovered during his year-long investigation in the United States, Shuichi Akai realized that the "formidable adversary" his father had mentioned in his last text message was not an organization, but rather the Symbiosis Cult, which had even greater power and wealth and existed in a more covert manner.
The father's weakness at the time may have been that he only guessed that some American capitalists were also coveting the silver bullet, and that the people who were destroying the silver bullet's research data with him were hiding their people. During the process of destroying the silver bullet's research data, conflicts would arise with those people.
Unexpectedly, behind those people was a symbiotic cult that was older than the organization itself and had more power and wealth, and was determined to obtain results such as eternal youth and immortality.
Bourbon has now discovered the location of the research institute where the organization that researched the silver bullets was located, as well as the existence of the Symbiosis Cult and Radiant Pharmaceuticals, which has been exposed to them.
He believed that this intelligence was enough for his father to make a better plan, to achieve his goal while protecting his own safety. Therefore, after learning about the restrictions on the dungeon on Feng Xing Shou's side, he did not give up, but immediately proposed other methods.
"You mean we should go to the historical time when your father had the accident and convey information to him that can help him?" Hagiwara understood what Akai Shuichi meant, and as he asked, he also looked in the direction where Kazeki no Mori had made physical contact with him, revealing a questioning expression.
Seeing his questioning expression, Feng Xingshou, being the kind of person she was, naturally didn't intend to refuse. However, she was prepared to politely wait for Hagiwara and Mr. Akai to finish their discussion before speaking.
.
However, her silence seemed to cause a misunderstanding on Shuichi Akai's side, who thought she did not want to complicate the operation plan to rescue Gin, so he quickly continued to persuade her: "There is such a plan, and it would also be of great benefit to you."
Bourbon hadn't had a chance to exchange information with you yet, so you probably don't know, but he's also made considerable progress this year. According to his investigation, Feng Sang, your brother's incident might be related to a force called the Symbiotic Cult..."
"..." Listening to him briefly explain the existence of the Symbiosis Cult, its doctrines, and how the APTX4869 data developed by the organization was suspected of being secretly broken down into various gene-related drugs by the Symbiosis Cult's asset, Radiant Pharmaceuticals, for sale, Bourbon silently gave Akai Shuichi a look of disdain with his crescent-shaped eyes.
This guy is really cunning. He's worried that Feng Sang isn't interested in changing the matter of his father's death, so he's trying to link the Symbiosis Cult, which seems to have nothing to do with Gin, to Gin's troubles.
However, this speculation is not entirely unfounded. Since the future is the Silver Bullet sold by Radiant Pharmaceuticals, and Radiant Pharmaceuticals belongs to the Symbiosis Cult's industry, the Symbiosis Cult's doctrine has such an absurd theory of survival qualifications.
So the terrible side effects of the silver bullets might not be an accident, but rather a deliberate plan to carry out their doctrine and eliminate those humans they deem unworthy of living on Earth.
Similarly, reasoning backward from this perspective, Japan Pharmaceuticals, which launched the Silver Bullet alongside Radiant Pharmaceuticals, is likely also a Symbiotic Cult enterprise. Therefore, those who seized the complete research data of APTX4869 during the operation to eliminate the organization must also be members of the Symbiotic Cult.
So if Gin was killed when the organization was wiped out, then the person who killed him is likely from the Symbiotic Cult. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it was the FBI who carried out the killing, since their law enforcement always emphasizes emptying the magazines and trying to put the target to sleep.
Even when the Japanese public security forces are enforcing the law, they try their best to keep people alive. Moreover, for an organization that has committed numerous crimes, Kuroda, the superintendent, had already warned them about this when he was training them in various undercover skills.
In order to thoroughly investigate their crimes, it is necessary to capture the top leaders of the organization alive. Unless it involves issues related to the Japanese Public Security Bureau itself or high-ranking Japanese figures who can influence the decisions of the Public Security Bureau, they will generally not choose to silence them.
Gin's daily work doesn't involve targeting high-ranking Japanese figures much; his main job is to eliminate those who oppose the organization or traitors to silence them.
Things that require the Japanese Public Security Bureau to silence people are usually targeted at intelligence personnel within an organization, not at him personally. At least, I haven't sensed that the Public Security Bureau intends to silence Gin.
Therefore, it's highly likely that Gin's incident was indeed related to the Symbiosis Cult. Of course, it could also be due to the US law enforcement's usual practice of emptying magazines, which led to Gin, who always wore a specially made ultra-thin bulletproof vest, getting caught in the crossfire...
.
Just as Bourbon was thinking about these things, Shuichi Akai, after finishing his report on the Symbiotic Cult, continued, "...I speculate that in the end, the Symbiotic Cult may have taken advantage of the opportunity presented by the United States, Japan, or a joint effort between the two countries to eliminate the organization, thus reaping the benefits."
So it's possible that Gin was silenced by the Symbiotic Cult. Of course, there's another possibility: the Symbiotic Cult investigated the organization's new APTX4869 research institute, obtained complete research data on APTX4869, and gained control of people with the potential to develop this drug.
In order to monopolize APTX4869, they secretly sent people to hunt down and eliminate all members of the organization... So if you can enter the timeline where my father had his accident, you can not only pass on the message to him and change his fate, but also expose the existence of the Symbiosis Cult and its long-standing covetousness of the APTX4869 developed by the organization...
"If the intelligence is provided to the organization in advance, given the organization's power, as long as they know the enemy and are on guard, they will definitely uncover more information about the Symbiotic Cult over the next ten years, and no high-ranking members will die in a Symbiotic Cult conspiracy."
"Tsk! I thought the existence of the organization was unreasonable enough, but I never expected that there was an even more unreasonable symbiotic cult hidden in the world." Matsuda couldn't help but click his tongue at what Shuichi Akai said.
Morofushi Kagemitsu, standing to the side, had a sinister look in his eyes, his expression serious yet gloomy: "So the fact that the Silver Bullet has such terrible side effects in the future is very likely not a coincidence or an accident, but a conspiracy deliberately created by the Symbiosis Cult?"
"Indeed, if it hadn't coincided with the pneumonia virus leak in Los Angeles, the Silver Bullet, even with its side effects, wouldn't have caused so many deaths." This was without the intelligence regarding the Symbiosis Cult's doctrines.
Feng Xingshou only felt that the videos he had seen online about the Silver Pneumonia were a bit of a conspiracy theory, after all, a large number of people died in countries around the world at that time, some small countries were even wiped out, and the United States and Japan were also severely affected areas.
Even if Japan has a history of such incidents, they were directed at its own country and did not use its own people as test subjects. How could the Japanese government have deliberately created a biohazard that caused the deaths of so many of its citizens?
But what if there are Symbiotic Cult members hiding behind the scenes of the two countries' governments? Thinking back, I've always felt that the endings of those Resident Evil movies were a bit idiotic; who could be so easily swayed by a plan like Umbrella Corporation's?
Was a biohazard deliberately created to seize more of Earth's resources? Now it seems art truly imitates life? Or did the director of that biohazard movie simply read the symbiotic doctrine and wrote the script?
However, if it was truly a cult-like entity that caused her brother's death, rather than legitimate law enforcement by various countries, she would absolutely change the fate of her brother's death. Not to mention that the disasters caused by the silver bullets made her endure three particularly depressing years.
This year it has even affected her work and daily life... Thinking of this, she immediately grasped Hagiwara's hand holding the phone and said to it, "I agree to your request. Please send me the time when your father had the accident, the message you want to convey to your father, and his contact information. We will go there tomorrow."
"Don't forget all the information you've gathered about the Symbiosis Cult." Hagiwara Mikazu agreed, not wanting to spoil the mood by reminding her of when Akai-san's father had his accident, which might have happened before he did.
Since I, as the one furthest from the future timeline who changes fate, may not be able to appear in the real dimension, I naturally won't be able to contact people in the real world. Well... even Feng-chan has a way to transfer them to the instance dimension, so there must be other ways to solve this problem.
