Chapter 167

Because there is only one alias that entered the dungeon this time, if Baifu wants to get help from the hacker Kagamino Satoshi, he has to approach the other party with another completely independent identity, just like when he approached Hoshikawa Kazuaki or Nishihara Tadahiko before, instead of getting help as a "insider" alias.

However, this is also the most troublesome point. Baifu certainly knows Kagamino Satoshi. That impulsive and unfocused kid is actually very timid. At this stage, he is still very wary of existences like organizations that belong to the dark world.

If he contacted the other party without hesitation, he would definitely scare the other party. After all, Baifu didn't think that Kagamino Satoshi's methods would not be able to find out the identity of his organization. By then, if Kagamino Satoshi became alert because of his reckless contact, he would probably never have the chance to ask him for help again.

However, in the matter of saving Morobushi Kagemitsu, according to the script designed by Hoshikawa Kazuaki, Kagamino Satoshi's hacking skills are very important, and Momotomi will never trust any other hacker except Kagamino Satoshi. Momotomi has no choice but to take a roundabout way through Nishihara Tadahiko.

"…That's it. So the situation now is that I have temporarily cooperated with the person you know. I need to do some preparations in advance, which requires very high hacking skills, so I want to invite the hacker you know to help. Of course, this is a serious matter, so please help me remind the other party to remember to keep it confidential."

Bai Fu carefully concealed any words that might reveal the identity of Morobushi Kagemitsu, and made a request to Nishihara Tadahiko without any hesitation. After all, the other party was not only his brother, but also probably an assistant of Morobushi Kagemitsu now, so he didn't need to be polite no matter how he thought about it.

"I see. Thank you for taking the trouble to arrange things for us. Don't worry about the hacker. I will contact him as soon as possible. Can I call you then?"

"Oh, no problem."

Nishihara Tadahiko didn't expect Baifu to agree so readily. He was in a trance for a moment, and he actually felt that his difficult experience of searching for his brother over the past decade was like a long nightmare.

"Can I contact you at other times? Or can we meet again sometime? Junya..."

He pursed his lips, looking unsure about what to say next, but still insisted on saying it:

"I have been looking for you for many years. I am really happy to see you again this time. Junye, since you are willing to take the initiative to lend a hand this time, does it mean that you don't actually have any sense of belonging to the organization you are in now? In this case, can you leave there and return to the light side?"

There was a sudden silence on the phone.

Nishihara Tadahiko carefully controlled his breathing and rubbed the outer shell of his phone with his fingers nervously. He was more nervous and panicked than ever before. He thought uncertainly: Wouldn't it be too abrupt for me to say this suddenly? Junye probably doesn't like that criminal organization. Would he be willing to suddenly leave the place where he has lived for more than ten years and return to normal society? By the way, although Junye was very attached to me when he was a child, he has obviously grown up now. I don't know if he will no longer like me as a brother and run back to the shadow of the organization to hide.

It shouldn’t be…right?

However, compared to Nishihara Tadahiko's worries about gains and losses, Baifu was filled with the sadness of fate.

Since he came to Nishihara Tadahiko for help, he naturally recognized his identity as Nishihara Toshiya. However, facing Nishihara Tadahiko's proposal, if it was the Nishihara Toshiya who was just caught in the laboratory 17 years ago, he would certainly agree, but now he has become a Balvenie whiskey eroded by darkness. How can he stand in the light again as if nothing happened?

Moreover, Baifu's experiment has reached a critical point, and he will never leave the organization at this time. He is willing to become a test subject and a pawn of darkness to complete his revenge plan, and he will never allow any possibility of failure.

However, when the words came to his lips, Baifu found that he had no idea how to say it. His instinctive desire for his blood relatives made it impossible for him to be completely indifferent to the beautiful future described by Nishihara Tadahiko, and he couldn't bear to use any words that might cause misunderstandings to hurt Nishihara Tadahiko. After a long silence, Baifu had to change the subject abruptly.

"Let's not think about that for now. Let's discuss the rescue plan during the fake death process. I can only cover up a little bit, and the rest of the work will all depend on you."

Speaking of business, Nishihara Tadahiko quickly put aside the fragile selfishness that flashed through his mind just now and regained his working status as an excellent criminal policeman. However, deep in his heart, the idea of ​​pulling his brother who was trapped in the darkness back to the right path has already taken root.

Shirley was allowed to see Akemi Miyano at a certain time and at a certain number of times. In order not to cause trouble to her sister, Shirley took the initiative to leave after the stipulated time, and walked towards the direction of Momotani without looking back under Akemi Miyano's worried gaze.

Baifu was somewhat surprised by Shirley's decisiveness and couldn't help but look at her a few more times. Before this, Baifu had always regarded Shirley as an ordinary 14-year-old girl, at most a genius girl with unmatched research talent. However, today he discovered that there was a reason why this girl could become a member of the protagonist group of the scientific world in the future.

Shirley has been very sensitive to other people's gazes and auras since she was a child, and Baifu's actions were not deliberately concealed, so she naturally noticed them. She habitually raised a trace of vigilance in her heart, but when she thought that the person who was paying attention to her was Baifu, the only one in the organization who had shown kindness to her, that trace of vigilance quickly dissipated. Shirley frowned in confusion, thinking that she had guessed the reason why Baifu was paying attention to her, so she comforted him:

"Don't worry, I never talk to my sister about any topics related to the organization. I only talk about trivial things like trivial matters in life. You don't have to worry that Gin will bother you because of this."

Baifu knew that she had misunderstood his meaning, but he did not explain it. He just suddenly felt that the relationship between Shirley and Miyano Akemi was surprisingly similar to the relationship between himself and Nishihara Tadahiko. Both parties were deeply trapped in the whirlpool of the organization and could not escape, while the other party only had a vague understanding of the organization and was helpless.

The only difference is that Shirley wanted to escape but didn't dare to, while he had reasons to stay and fight to the death. Baifu suddenly became curious about Shirley's resolute attitude and couldn't help asking:

"For members outside the organization, the less Akemi Miyano knows about the organization, the safer she will be. But you two are sisters after all, and you have been keeping in touch. Is it really a good thing for her if you don't let her know anything?"

But unexpectedly, Shirley just looked at him in surprise, as if wondering why Baifu would ask such a stupid question. But she finally held back the thought of complaining, sighed slightly, and said patiently:

"For things that she can't touch, instead of explaining them unclearly and letting her worry in vain but unable to do anything, it's better not to let her know. I can bear those bad things alone. And my sister is not completely unaware of my situation. I will tell her about my life and let her know that I am living a good life. That's enough."

Momotomi was silent. Is this enough? Did Akemi Miyano really know nothing about Shirley's feelings? Otherwise, how could Akemi Miyano take the initiative to ask Gin to leave the organization three years later and be killed by Gin in the end? But Momotomi couldn't say these words. In fact, because of the previous phone call with Nishihara Tadahiko, Momotomi was even more confused than Shirley at this time.

But one thing is certain, the Red side is not in an advantageous position in the current situation, and I will never allow Nishihara Tadahiko to be dragged into it and become cannon fodder because of my relationship. In this case, after helping Morobushi Kagemitsu fake his death and escape, it is better not to continue to have too much contact with Nishihara Tadahiko. At least for now, this is indeed the most reliable protection.

The two of them walked in silence on the street. For some reason, neither of them thought of calling a taxi, but instead fell into their own complicated thoughts.

While waiting for the traffic light at the intersection, Baifu suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

"Shirley, do me one more favor."

Shirley turned her head to look at him, with silent questions in her eyes. There was no warmth in the organization, and naturally there was no help or trust without reason. But if the person she was helping was Baifu, Shirley felt that as long as the help did not threaten the safety of herself and her sister, she would unconditionally agree to help.

"Of course, doing this favor will actually benefit you. In other words, maybe it can help break the cage that's holding us back."

Baifu smiled lightly, his tone was casual and casual, just like a clumsy and fake joke that he made on a whim. However, when he looked at Shirley with his dark red eyes, he was stubborn and crazy, just like a gambler's last throw of the dice. Such a sharp gaze made Shirley shudder, and the alarm in her mind went off like crazy.

"You...are you kidding me?"

Fourteen-year-old Shirley had not yet mustered up any courage to defy the organization. When she heard Baifu's words, her face turned pale with fright. She felt a chill all over her body and had no idea how she should react.

Baifu is planning something bad for the organization, right? Should I tell Gin about it? No, no, it will put Baifu in danger. Or should I just pretend I didn't hear it? How is that possible? Didn't Baifu just say he needed my help? Could it be related to this? Damn it, why did he tell me about this?

Shirley was frightened and scared, her pale little face was twisted into a knot, and Baifu couldn't help laughing when he saw it.

"What are you thinking? How could I let you do something so dangerous? I was just joking with you."

"Are you kidding? How can you joke about this?"

Shirley was really angry now. Her originally pale face immediately turned red again. She immediately waved her little fist at Baifu regardless of anything. However, she didn't dare to hit him with real force because she didn't know whether Baifu's weak body had fully recovered.

"Okay, I'm sorry, don't be really angry." Bai Fu apologized immediately, but his tone sounded particularly insincere.

"Damn it! Who needs your apology?" Shirley simply ignored him. When she saw the traffic light turned green, she snorted and crossed the road angrily.

Baifu lowered his head and sighed, feeling a little regretful. Now was not the right time to form an alliance. No matter how talented Shirley was, she was still too young. Her previous idea was indeed too arbitrary.

However, what Baifu didn't expect was that when they reached the other side of the road, Shirley actually stopped on her own initiative, turned around and asked:

"So, what was it that you asked me to help you with?"

Baifu looked at her strangely and asked doubtfully, "Didn't I tell you that I was just joking with you? Did you take it seriously?"

Shirley, however, remained unmoved. She just acted like a little adult, pursed her lips and looked deeply at Baifu. She actually looked like an ice beauty from the future.

"I can't help you with anything else except researching drugs. And even though you were joking, you didn't seem to be lying when you asked me for help. So, do you really need my help? Is there any difficult drug that you need my help making?"

Baifu was silent for a while, looking at Shirley's equally stubborn eyes, his expression became serious, and he nodded slowly:

"That's right. I want you to help make a drug that can induce a special protein to fight the immune system. It is a fast-acting drug that works immediately after injection. There is no need to rush this. It will be fine if we can produce results in three years. However, the organization must not know about this."

Shirley didn't ask any more questions, just nodded to show that she understood, and then asked, "No problem, but I need to know which specific protein I need to induce."

Bai Fu said in a deep voice: "The organization has been conducting experiments on me. What they want to get in the end is the aptx signal carrier protein that can directly change the way humans transmit and receive electrical signals."

Shirley's branded bag fell to the ground with a "pop". She looked at Baifu's expressionless face in disbelief, with horror written all over her face. It took her a while to finally regain her sanity, and she lowered her voice and yelled at Baifu:

"What on earth do you want to do? Do you know that if the organization finds out about this...you're going to die?"

Baifu chuckled in the face of her angry eyes. He raised his hand and gently rubbed Shirley's soft hair, his eyes were gentle, but his mouth was meaningful:

"Shirley, I am just doing scientific research. The medicine I want you to make is just for research needs. It will not harm the organization. The reason why I hide the organization is that I don't want to expose our harmonious relationship. This is also a self-protection need. In short, as a researcher of the organization, you can't have any psychological burden, any kind. Do you understand what I mean?"

Shirley glared at him coldly, not believing a word he said.

At this time, Baifu withdrew his hand, returned to his previous expressionless face, and said calmly: "You can not agree now, but one day, you will understand my mood at this moment and agree to help me make this medicine." For example, when you finally pluck up the courage and begin to want to break free from the constraints of the organization, and even begin to resist.

Shirley's eyes were dazed for a moment, but she immediately retorted with difficulty: "But once such a drug appears, the most direct victim will definitely be you! Inducing protein to attack the immune system, what on earth are you thinking?"

"Shirley! I have my plans and things I need to do, and only you can help me!"

Baifu's tone was more resolute than ever before. His dark red eyes, which were originally sharp, were now filled with deep sorrow, which made him calm down. Shirley's breathing stagnated. She couldn't say the words she wanted to blame and persuade. After a long time, she recovered from that emotion, took a deep breath, trembling, and said through gritted teeth:

"You don't have enough experimental data. Until the specific protein is identified, it's impossible to produce the corresponding inducer drug."

Baifu smiled with satisfaction. "It's great that you are willing to help. Don't worry, I will copy each experimental data for you. I believe that with your ability, you will not keep me waiting too long, right?"

Shirley glared at him angrily, but Baifu just raised his hand and ruffled her soft hair again.

There are some things that Shirley doesn't dare to think about at all. Except for those unsuccessful products, the final products of the drugs studied by these researchers are all for the boss of the organization. In other words, whether it is the aptx series of drugs for vitality and longevity that Shirley is studying, or the human body experiments on electrical signals in her hands, the ultimate beneficiary is the boss himself. So is the drug that Shirley helped to make to induce special proteins to attack the immune system really just for herself as the experimental subject and protein provider?

Baifu comforted the awkward Shirley, but in his heart he had no idea about his possible future fate. When he decided to use himself as a weapon to take revenge on the boss of the organization, the ending was already determined. He just hoped that everything would go well for him three years later.
