Chapter 182 Has Bourbon turned to the dark side?
Day 12 of the Highway Survival Game!
The fact that the instance appeared here means that a serious catastrophe will definitely occur here within an hour. The flight attendant's serious expression just now was probably related to the catastrophe that would happen in about half an hour.
If no organized personnel were operating here, the destruction that would occur here would naturally be none of their concern. However, since an organized group is operating on this train, given the organization's habit of using arson, explosions, and other methods to eliminate traces of crime.
The crisis of destruction here is very likely due to the organization's arrangement. Even Bourbon was surprised when the train attendant came to find him. Several people who had previously learned that Bourbon had a mission on this train had already spoken with him.
It's natural to speculate that Bourbon's stay here might have caused problems with the organization's previously planned methods for eliminating traces of the crime, leading the train management to start searching for something...
Realizing this, and knowing that everyone present knew about the side effects of the silver bullets, the true organizers had nothing to say, and his friends would understand his actions.
So Bourbon made no attempt to hide or whitewash himself, appearing completely black inside and out, and replied with a dangerous smile: "After hearing what you said about the Silver Bullet last time, I believe that everything related to the Silver Bullet must be destroyed."
In particular, Sherry and Junairik, the defector researchers from the organization that recreated the Silver Bullet, must be eliminated. Their survival means that the Silver Bullet, like the Sword of Damocles, is always hovering over not only ordinary people but also members of our organization.
After all, our communication time was short, and Feng Sang never mentioned whether the side effects of the silver bullet were limited to the user, or whether the user's side effects would infect those around them who hadn't taken it...
If any user experiences side effects, those side effects will indiscriminately infect those around them. Or even if Feng Sang's future hasn't developed to that extent yet, since these side effects have never disappeared...
All the users are still living in sterile chambers under the influence of the side effects, which means that these side effects may have the potential to spread indiscriminately to others around them. They are living Silver Bullet research files.
Therefore, Sherry and Junerick, who were mainly responsible for completing the drug's production, had to die. As a result, I have been investigating their whereabouts for over a year. Junerick has not yet been found, but Sherry was finally found to have appeared in the Gunma Mountains a few days ago.
They discovered that she would be taking this train, so they conspired with Vermouth to eliminate Sherry completely on the train. There were three backup plans, the simplest of which was for me to find her and shoot her, and then dump her body on the train while it was in motion.
The second plan was Vermouth's plan. She had planted a lot of bombs in the cargo car at the back of the train. If Sherry was too cunning and escaped my pursuit, she would force her into the cargo car and detonate them.
The third is the poison gas bomb, which has a wide impact. Before boarding the train, I specifically retrieved a batch of poison gas bombs from the base's armory. If both plans fail, then I will feel sorry for the other passengers on the train who may be affected.
I will not allow myself to miss the chance to kill Sherry completely! I will directly target the carriage where Sherry is and throw a poison gas bomb. This poison gas bomb was developed by the organization and is highly toxic. One breath of it will kill you in just a few dozen seconds.
The first plan was that the gun could not cause a catastrophic crisis for the train, and since I had always carried it with me, it was impossible to deny that the crew's abnormality was related to it. The second plan was that the bombs were all placed in the cargo hold at the rear of the carriage.
If it had been accidentally detonated or discovered by someone else, the commotion would certainly have been much greater. Aside from the lack of a loud explosion, the train conductor would have stopped the train and evacuated the passengers before dealing with the bomb in the cargo hold.
.
"Or just cut off your tail to survive, like a gecko that has abandoned its tail!" Gin had no objection to Bourbon's ruthless approach this time, which was willing to involve many people to achieve his goal.
He also deduced from his plan that the matter the flight attendants were investigating was probably unrelated to the organization: "Since the poison gas bomb is your last resort, and the organization has deliberately used compressed gas technology to reduce its volume for the convenience of carrying out the mission."
Given your personality, you should carry it with you at all times, so as long as the mission to hunt Sherry isn't discovered by her accomplices and they cause trouble on this train.
So the suspicious person that guy wanted to question earlier is probably unrelated to the organization's plan. It's more likely that a crisis occurred on the bus that was more serious than the appearance of Phantom Thief Kid, but unrelated to the organization's operation.
"Heh... Brother's habit of using animals as metaphors is still the same. He just told me that this train is a giant iron snake, and now it's become a gecko." Hearing his brother speak, Kazesei Shou couldn't help but complain about his brother's habit in Hagiwara's ear.
The relaxed tone made Hagiwara realize that his friend Rei Furuya's thinking and behavior patterns were very different from those during their time at the police academy when he heard that Bourbon was willing to involve the surrounding people in order to kill Sherry, the researcher who had created the silver bullet.
In the past, he would have prioritized protecting the lives of the Japanese people before taking any action, instead of being so resolute as he is now, willing to sacrifice a small number of innocent civilians to achieve his goal.
This made him think that his good friend had been brainwashed by those so-called noble and bureaucratic families that had been passed down in Japan since ancient times, or by those who were behind the scenes, and that he was no longer like Kofuya.
However, knowing how terrible the side effects of the silver bullets were, he couldn't completely deny that Kofuya's actions were wrong, and even had a slight feeling that Kofuya hadn't done anything wrong, which made him feel a little heavy-hearted.
Just then, he heard Fuuya casually teasing her brother Gin. Her lighthearted tone seemed completely unaffected by Kofuya and Gin's words.
Fuu-chan knows Kofuya's identity, doesn't he think it's excessive that his plan includes the part that could implicate innocent people? It doesn't fit Kofuya's identity and profession. On the contrary, does Kofuya seem like a really bad person?
Or does Fuuya think that it's right for Kofuruya to kill Sherry by any means necessary? Realizing this possibility, Hagiwara put himself in her shoes and thought about it. Indeed, among them, only Fuuya had personally experienced the power and spectacle of the silver bullet's side effects that ravaged the entire world of Earth during those years.
Indeed, knowledge gained from books is ultimately superficial! Although the current situation is quite different from the meaning of the ancient Chinese poem from which this poem is originally written, this poem accurately describes my current state.
I know that the silver bullet has serious side effects, I know how many people it has killed, and I know that many people will suffer from its side effects in the future...
.
However, no matter how much you know, without experiencing that future firsthand like Feng Jiang, you cannot empathize with her having gone through that man-made catastrophe. In fact, in her subconscious, she even thinks that the eruption of Mount Fuji and the eruption of Yellowstone are things that are more worthy of attention.
However, Feng Jiang was more concerned about the events related to the side effects of the Silver Bullet. He almost overlooked these two disasters if it weren't for the possibility that they involved a time loop. This probably already shows just how terrible those years when the side effects of the Silver Bullet were exposed were...
Did Kofuya make this choice after spending more than a year sorting out his thoughts and realizing how terrible the future those few words represented, after hearing about the side effects of the silver bullet?
After all, he was the one among them who cared most about the Japanese people! After thinking it through, Hagiwara stopped worrying about what it meant that Bourbon's plan might implicate innocent people.
Instead, he lightly shook hands with Feng Xingshou, and just like Gin, he showed no opposition to Bourbon's plan. He continued Gin's words naturally: "Although Future Nissan's prediction is probably correct, we can't let our guard down."
While most of the destruction crises we've experienced have been man-made, there has also been one caused by a natural disaster. Now, traveling on this mountain railway, we must also be wary of other possibilities.
He glanced at Scotland after he finished speaking.
"Perhaps my actions that time were a warning from the game developers to you that you wanted to change my fate of death? Or perhaps the game developers deliberately increased the difficulty because you took actions to change history?"
Bourbon and Gin both said that in the memories they restored, the time and location of my original death had never been affected by an earthquake. Scotland immediately realized that he was referring to the time he was saved and made a guess.
Matsuda was already shocked by Furuya's words, and his feelings were just as complicated as Hagiwara's! But when he saw the reactions of his two other friends, and saw that they didn't seem to care about the darkness revealed in Furuya's plan, he was slightly shaken.
But soon he had a similar thought to Hagiwara, and immediately stopped focusing on the problem, and instead seriously thought, "If that geological disaster really happened because of this..."
"If we provide you with so much game-related information this time, it might cause even greater historical discrepancies. Won't the game organizers then increase the difficulty of the dungeons?"
"No way! The game organizers would do that?" Bourbon was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously denied it.
Meanwhile, Gin was secretly pleased to see that the others remained calm and unmoved by Bourbon's plan. He had initially thought that Dalmore and Granwitt would sabotage his plan to silence them on the Shinkansen.
They disarmed their own bombs to save people on the Shinkansen who were caught up in the target's scheme. It turns out that they were corrupted by Bourbon in the future, and had moral thoughts and ideas that organization members shouldn't have. They took pleasure in saving people!
It seems that Bourbon is doing quite well now. At least he hasn't led people astray and is in line with the organization's style when it comes to serious matters. That's good. He doesn't want to be held back by their boring heroism and sense of justice in his future work!
