Chapter 209 Akai’s sincerity
◎Day 13 of the Highway Survival Game!◎
"Uh... Brother, please explain in more detail!" With just that one sentence, Feng Xingshou couldn't understand how his brother had made preparations as if he had foreseen the future. He understood the meaning behind Matsuda's words and became curious about the answer to this matter.
If it were someone else asking, Gin wouldn't be interested in answering their questions, but he would still give face to his own fat pig. So even though he doesn't like nonsense and wasn't interested in answering Vermouth's question earlier, Gin explained in detail this time: "The research was quite effective."
The experiment subjects will gain superhuman physical abilities after abandoning their own defensive instincts. With further training, their combat power and other aspects will far surpass those of ordinary members who have been trained by the organization for many years. Unfortunately, there is one drawback: the experimental subjects are hypnotized by light.
This makes Curaçao's brain more susceptible to light, so I speculate that her amnesia was caused by strong light affecting her brain when she was fleeing from the Japanese police. The area she was in at the time was brightly lit and could be seen by her while she was escaping.
There's only that messy light show at the Tokyo Aquarium. And since the Japanese Public Security Bureau has captured Curaçao and wants the organizational information in her mind, they will definitely try to help her recover her memory. If those rats are smart enough, they should also figure out the reason that caused her amnesia.
"If I thought of it, then taking Curaçao to the Tokyo Aquarium to see the light show again in an attempt to restore her memory is a very likely thing to happen. So after receiving the intelligence that Curaçao had amnesia, I arranged for people to go to the Tokyo Aquarium to make preparations."
"As expected of you, our operational patterns were all within your predictions, Gin." Hearing Gin's reply, Scotland couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Having Gin as an opponent was really troublesome, and to make matters worse, the Public Security Bureau had a hidden hand dragging them down. Was Zero alright now?
"Hmph!" Gin ignored Scotland's words and continued to say to Fuusei and the others, "Don't worry, now that you're over there, those bombs won't be activated, but be careful in a little while."
Rum recently traded a lot of stuff with the US, including several Osprey aircraft. He plans to send one out during the operation to retake Curaçao to test its performance and to train a few crew members in its handling. There might be some danger, so please be careful.”
He had originally planned to go up and direct the operation himself, but since Fatty and the others were coming today, he would definitely go over to meet them and have a face-to-face conversation. Some things are much more convenient than talking on the phone.
So when Hagiwara called him, Gin had Vodka drive him to the Tokyo Aquarium, and command of the operation to retake Curaçao had been transferred to Rum for remote command.
Upon hearing his words, Matsuda couldn't help but retort, "Bombs and ospreys again, it's no wonder it's going to be destroyed. No wonder today's dungeon is here."
"Uh... I know the power of the bomb, but what is an osprey? Why would it cause destruction here?" Upon hearing this, Kazeki asked Hagiwara curiously.
Hagiwara quickly explained to her, "V-22—Osprey, a tiltrotor aircraft, simply put, it's a type of military attack helicopter."
He remembered that this type of aircraft only officially entered service in November of the year he graduated from university. It was equipment of the U.S. Marine Corps and was also deployed in U.S. military bases in Japan. He never expected that the organization that Kofuruya and Komorofushi infiltrated could even get their hands on this thing.
Whether they obtained the information from the US or from the US military stationed in Japan, it shows that the organization has the ability to infiltrate both the US and Japanese militaries, indicating not only its deep strength but also a complex background.
.
"Hiss!" Feng Xingshou gasped upon hearing this answer. She had never even seen a gun in all her years in China. She never expected that the organization her brother worked for in Japan would dare to fly an armed helicopter to such a busy place to test its performance.
The fact that the Yakuza are legalized in a country is terrifying. The key point is that she feels both terrifying and embarrassed now. After all, her brother said something very arrogant to them in front of Inspector Morofushi, a Japanese public security officer, and to Hagiwara and Matsuda, who did not know their identities.
┭┮﹏┭┮ Waaah... Right now, as the sister of the arrogant 'yakuza boss,' I feel like I'm socially dead in front of Hagiwara and the others! No, we can't continue this topic about Osprey.
Thinking of this, she quickly changed the subject: "By the way, brother, did you pass on the information we brought back last time to the officials of various countries around the world? Have they made any corresponding preparations? We made some new discoveries this time, which may be helpful in dealing with the arrival of the game in the future."
"..." Hearing his fat piglet's words, Gin noticed the embarrassment in her tone and her eagerness to change the subject. He guessed that she was probably uncomfortable when he mentioned the osprey because Scotland, the rat of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, was right next to her.
Gin was eager to change the subject and understand her overly honest personality, which had been educated in China. He didn't continue the topic, but her question made Gin silent for two seconds before answering, "The thing you brought back has been examined in the lab."
Genetic testing in the laboratory revealed that it was also a carbon-based organism, and that it had a 79% genetic overlap with the genes of Earth's giant lobsters. In addition, a small number of genes from other shrimp species were also detected, all of which are present on Earth.
In other words, it cannot be proven that the lobster meat came from extraterrestrial sources. It is more likely that some gene-editing research organization on Earth edited the genes of lobsters and other shrimp to make them more delicious and increase their size. The person in charge of the organization believes that there is currently insufficient evidence.
"Insufficient information means that providing information to other countries will not be trusted and could even leak organizational intelligence, causing huge losses to the organization. Therefore, we have decided to wait until the organization obtains more game-related intelligence and evidence from you before proceeding to the next step."
In Gin's view, that man was simply driven by greed. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the fat pig was his sibling and worried about his future safety, so he would provide him with a lot of game information and even a lot of game products later.
Only after obtaining more information about the game and its advanced technologies will they arrange for people to pass on intelligence to official forces in various countries. Given that they have a considerable number of people in the military and government of various countries, it would be very easy to pass on information if they really wanted to.
As for gaining the trust of countries around the world, the evidence can be the traces of mutated termites left on that Suzuki Express train and the fact that so many people saw the mutated termites disappear into thin air.
That gentleman simply didn't want to, and even arranged for his men to completely destroy the train that very night, erasing all evidence...
.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Bourbon stood on the giant double-wheeled Ferris wheel, looking at Shuichi Akai, who was carrying a sniper rifle pouch, and asked coldly, "Shuichi Akai, what exactly is the meaning of your actions since last night?"
"What do you mean?" Shuichi Akai chuckled softly. "Just like I said when I stopped you from killing Ai Haibara, it was just to show you my sincerity."
It turns out that last night, Curaçao infiltrated the Japanese Ministry of Public Security to steal information. His whereabouts were exposed and he was pursued by the police. Bourbon also joined the pursuit. On the surface, Shuichi Akai seemed to be following James's orders and also joined the pursuit.
He had been secretly adjusting the car's direction and route, and even sniping to lure Curaçao towards Bourbon. Not long ago, when Bourbon was captured and interrogated by Gin and his men, he was the one who secretly sniped the lights in that warehouse, creating darkness and chaos, giving Bourbon a chance to escape.
As for the incident that Shuichi Akai mentioned about 'stopping Bourbon from killing Ai Haibara,' it refers to the time after the Suzuki Express incident when Bourbon returned to Beika Town and found that Ai Haibara had returned to Professor Agasa's house.
In order to eliminate future crises, he naturally wanted to target Ai Haibara again, and this could not be known to the Public Security Bureau or the organization, as Bourbon highly valued Shinichi Kudo's talent.
He believed that with his intelligence and reasoning ability, he could eradicate the organization, this cancer, in no time, so he did not want to expose Conan's existence to the organization by resolving the Ai Haibara incident.
As for keeping it from his colleagues in the police force, it was because he knew that if some of the underworld figures in the police force found out, they would definitely stop him from killing Ai Haibara, who had a high probability of allowing them to obtain the anti-aging drug.
Unfortunately, this action was stopped by Shuichi Akai, who went so far as to expose his faked death in front of him. He also revealed that he was also aware of the future where the game was coming, as well as his deductions about his father, Tsutomu Akai, and Jodie's father, and the information he had previously investigated.
This explains his speculation that the name "Silver Bullet" indicates that the two large American and Japanese pharmaceutical companies are related to his father's disappearance. Even if he kills Ai Haibara, those who kidnapped his father will use their own and his family's safety to coerce his father into revealing information about Silver Bullet.
Even if her father doesn't compromise, they can seize the opportunity to eliminate the organization, take the APTX4869 research data, and develop the silver bullet. Ai Haibara is indeed talented, but there are many more talented people in those highly classified research bases in the United States.
Only by finding the real mastermind behind his father's disappearance, identifying the specific forces and behind-the-scenes manipulators, and eliminating them, can the reality of the Silver Bullet appearing in the future be completely eliminated...
In short, after being persuaded by Shuichi Akai, Bourbon decided to postpone killing Ai Haibara and eliminate the plan for the silver bullet to be researched and sold in the future. He also promised to ask Kazeki and the others if they would be willing to investigate the Haneda Koji case from 17 years ago when he contacted them again.
