Tokyo, R03 Research Base.
This research base is like a large, complex structure, rooted in the ground. People of different colors mingled hurriedly and methodically in the intricate corridors.
The ones in white coats are researchers, and the ones in black are security personnel.
Compared with this kind of orderliness, Satake Xinghui and his team are like headless flies that accidentally entered a closed classroom.
They were diverted from the previously destroyed R07 research base. After the person in charge of the R07 research base and a circle of relevant senior personnel "disappeared", Satake Xinghui became the highest-ranking member of the remaining R07 team.
"Where are we going?" a researcher following him asked quietly.
"The Personnel Management Office, also known as the Human Resources Department." Satake replied calmly, "Our people will be gradually divided according to the staff vacancies in the third branch. We will just wait for orders from above."
A group of researchers breathed a quiet sigh of relief, not wanting to lose their jobs. The vast majority of these people have been signed by this company before they even entered the workplace. From a certain perspective, they have been isolated from the world for a long time.
If he is laid off due to this incident, his subsequent career will be very difficult.
A drop of cold sweat fell from Satake's forehead.
He is different from the group of colleagues who do not know the inside story of the organization.
He is very clear about his work, his research is illegal and criminal, and he is also very clear that they are the aftermath of the R07 Research Institute's mistakes.
And if the organization wants to kill them and silence them, it will be no more troublesome than squeezing a group of ants to death.
The road ahead is uncertain, and it may also lead to a fate worse than death - becoming a guinea pig for human experiments.
"We will be divided into different teams later." After thinking about it, he selectively reminded his colleagues, "Our research branch was destroyed due to a major experimental accident. If anyone else inquires in the future, don't say nonsense. . After all, we are equivalent to squeezing their resources. If someone is looking for trouble, be smart."
If they survived, these reminders would have served their purpose well.
Satake remembered the encounter he had with the head of Research Institute R07 a long time ago.
The other person was young, pale, and wearing glasses. Asian face, light gray medium-length hair, slightly curly.
He looked very gentle, and after noticing his gaze, he smiled at him, a smile that could make people feel good easily.
That should be a Codename member. Satake Xinghui thought, wondering if the other party could survive this purge.
-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
Three underground floors, core research room.
Tsuyoshi Kawakami is classifying the data and selectively entering it into the database. It was a tedious job and he had been doing it for two days. Most of the information about APTX4869 is on paper.
He didn't expect that because of his harmless appearance, a certain former colleague on the first floor who had just met each other had been worried about his life cheaply and sincerely.
"Sherry-chan, what should we have for lunch? ...No, it can't be a blueberry peanut butter sandwich. That's fine for breakfast, but lunch is too simple. We who do research need to supplement our nutrition."
Miyano Shiho, who was sitting aside and playing with experimental equipment, hesitated to speak.
Do we know each other well?
What does what you eat for lunch have to do with what I eat for lunch?
Who gave you the qualifications to take charge of me?
"Don't call me Shirley-chan." The girl with short brown hair complained unbearably with an expressionless face.
"What about Miyano Shiho?" Kawakami Tsumugi turned to look at her with a smile in his voice.
"no."
"Okay, Shirley-chan. But you can call me Kawakami Tsumugi...although I prefer the name Kashasha."
This guy is really annoying.
Miyano Shiho's face turned even colder, and she was not going to ignore him.
Shirley, whose real name is Miyano Shiho, is a genius in organizational training. She received her doctorate in pharmacy and biochemistry at the age of 13 and now returns to the organization to take over the APTX4869 project that was once led by her parents.
Now she is transitioning to Kashasha, the former director of the project.
Shiho knew that when she first arrived, she might be suspected because of her qualifications, make things difficult because of her age, and be looked down upon because of her gender.
She was prepared for all this and didn't care. She returned to Japan just desperate to see her sister.
But Tsuyoshi Kawakami's attitude towards her was so unique that she couldn't help but wonder if she was in a normal scientific research organization.
Of course it’s impossible, serious companies don’t accept child labor.
Kawakami is trying to take care of her, yes, take care of her.
They don't have any dirty thoughts, but they are just the concern of the elders for the younger ones. This kind of care is very natural and stuck at a point where she is uncomfortable but not disgusted.
When doing research, Kawakami put her in an equal or even higher position, and delegated power very happily. He did not question her decision-making at all. He even talked to other members of the team in private and asked them to correct their attitudes; in life Then treat her completely as an ordinary 14-year-old child.
He will pay attention to what she eats, urge her to take a rest after studying for a long time, and make milk for her when he knows she hasn't had breakfast - for God's sake, that guy is only 24 years old, who knows where he got such overwhelming fatherly love. .
"Don't ignore me." Tsumugi Kawakami stopped what he was doing, "How about going out for lunch?"
"Can I go out?"
As soon as Miyano Shiho asked, he knew that he had said something stupid.
The organization "valued" her very much, even to the point of going against her will. Even when she was studying in the United States, every move in her life was under surveillance by members of the organization.
She hated the organization and the bloody research from the bottom of her heart, but she had to be pushed into the quagmire step by step.
Kawakami Tsumugi is different from her, he will not have these constraints.
No matter how gentle that guy looks, he is still a villain who is collaborating with this criminal organization.
[Character points obtained: 1]
[Current character points: 8]
Hearing the mechanical sound of the system, Kawakami's lips curled up slightly.
Shirley is a very cute girl, smart and perceptive, but also fragile and unrealistically naive about certain things.
They only have two weeks to hand over information. According to organizational practice, the chance of them meeting again after two weeks is slim. In these short two weeks, Tsumugi Kawakami will use her as a breakthrough point to explore the system and the rules for obtaining character points as much as possible.
Of course, regardless of the character, he is extremely tolerant of minors.
"The legs are grown on our bodies." Tsuyoshi Kawakami chuckled. "Of course you can go out. The research has not started yet. You still have free time to do what you want to do, but you may not have time later."
Seeing that Shirley was still hesitating, Tsumugi Kawakami added fuel to the fire.
"I know that for safety reasons, the organization requires you to travel with someone." He smiled to persuade, "And I can help."
"So, let's go fishing together, Shirley-chan."
