Satake Xinghui was detained for nearly a week. This time was calculated by him based on the frequency of three meals a day.
There was no clock or windows here. The gang confiscated his mobile phone, watch and other tools that could communicate with the outside world and confirm the time.
Unexpectedly, his cell was very comfortable, fully furnished, equipped with a kitchen, bathroom, and TV. Although he could not watch any channels, there were nearly 8,000 domestic and foreign classic movies in various genres. Dirty laundry is collected and three meals a day are provided on time.
When he was first invited in by those people, Satake thought his life had come to an end.
But he soon discovered something was wrong: there was no interrogation, no torture, and the people did not have any difficulties other than refusing to let him go and not revealing outside information.
This is not the way the organization treats traitors and useless people.
Maybe... it's opportunity.
Satake suppressed his anxiety and speculation in his heart. He did not resist or yell to leave. Instead, politely ask the caretaker if they can provide a change of clothes. His request was met, which made him feel more and more indifferent to his situation.
He even started to relax, such as asking them for vegetables and meat to cook himself, or reading some cutting-edge science magazines to relieve his boredom. A wide variety of movies on TV are also a good source of entertainment.
Researchers like to stay at home, so Satake Xinghui turned this house arrest into a vacation of unknown length.
Today, someone opened the door to his room.
"How are you doing here, Satake-kun?"
The man walked without making any sound. Satake Xinghui, who was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine, was startled. He subconsciously wanted to get up to greet him, but he sat down without embarrassment under the gesture of the other party.
"I'm...very good." Satake was flattered.
He is the head of R07 Research Institute, whom he had met once before.
The other party's smile remained the same as before. He walked straight forward and sat next to Satake Xinghui, but politely separated the distance between the two of them.
From a distance, your first impression would be that the man has a good temper and an easy-going personality; but if you get closer, you will find that this man's gentleness is a bit scary, and even makes Satake Xing feel an indescribable sense of oppression.
"Let me introduce myself. My code name is Kashasha." His former boss, most likely his current boss, said, "Satake-kun, you don't need to be so restrained."
"Kashasha...sir." Satake greeted me submissively.
"You may be curious as to why I have been under house arrest for such a long time. Now...I can clearly state that it is to protect you, Satake-kun.
"Because according to organizational practice, after the R07 Research Institute information was leaked, all peripheral members who have seen my face should be eliminated."
Kawakami's words "cleaning up" are an understatement. Satake Xinghui's back was soaked with cold sweat.
"Thank you, sir, for your help."
"It's not a life-saving grace. To be honest, I am very short of men."
Kawakami expressed his intention, "You are an old man from the R07 Research Institute. You have never made any mistakes in your work for many years. You are my old department. It is a pity to lose it for no reason."
Satake Xinghui knew what he was doing. Give him a sweet date with a stick, Kashasha needs him to express his determination.
"Sir... I have a question to ask." Satake gritted his teeth and expressed his doubts, "Excuse me, the group of researchers who are with me..."
"Don't worry, although the organization's cleanup guidelines are very strict, they will not intentionally harm innocent people. Those unsuspected personnel who are affected will be transferred to different research institutes and reorganized as planned. Your colleagues should have already started working. "
"Satake, please listen to your orders." Satake Xinghui stood up and bowed deeply to Kawakami.
Kawakamiji nodded with satisfaction.
Screening is happening all the time.
Most researchers don't know the true face of the organization. They are just soldiers wandering around; and those who know something about the organization and can stay for a long time are a little abnormal overtly or covertly.
Obsessed with research to the point of going crazy, lacking negative emotions, simply liking bloody violence...
Occasionally, normal people sneak in and either suffer a mental breakdown and commit suicide, or are gradually assimilated by a group of lunatics, or simply can't bear to betray the organization.
Kawakamiji is very picky. He wants a normal subordinate.
Satake Xinghui was selected by him. He was a rare person with strong mental toughness and could remain relatively normal.
"Very good." Tsumugi Kawakami's smile became much more genuine this time. "After you leave this room, you will be my deputy and the top executive of the R03 research base second only to the code-named members."
This location is more dangerous and safer.
The danger is that you will be more deeply exposed to the dark side of the organization; the safety is that you will not be liquidated in the future. As long as your boss is reliable and you don't commit suicide, your life is absolutely guaranteed.
"I will deliver three research projects to you, and you will be solely responsible for the specific personnel arrangements. The research directions of these three projects are very clear, and it should not be difficult to complete them step by step."
"yes."
"Satake-kun, I will take you through the relevant business and procedures next."
Although he temporarily belonged to the action team, Kashasha still applied to Rum for his own research room and a full set of research equipment. Rum was very happy in this regard.
So even though Kashasha spends all day checking in at Shirley's place, he has his own office and research laboratory at the R03 research base.
--------------------------
"Kashasha, you-"
Shirley's footsteps stopped at the door of Kashasha's research room.
The germicidal lamp gave everything in the laboratory a pale color. In the center of the research room, there is an iron frame bed with restraint straps, and a woman is tied to it.
The woman was wearing a prison uniform belonging to an experiment and was struggling painfully. Blood seeped out of her seven orifices. She screamed with a ferocious expression, a silent and desperate scream.
"Experimental subject G019 is dying. Satake, pass me reagent C701."
Kawakami is wearing a white coat and he is directing another man. The latter skillfully took out a tube from the reagent rack nearby, and Kashasha took it.
The needle squeezes out water droplets and reflects the cold light under the lamp——
Then it sank deeply into human flesh.
"It's Shiho." Kawakami raised his head and smiled gently at her, "I'll go find you when I'm done. What's the matter?"
Miyano Shiho took a step back.
Fear gripped her.
She looked at Tsumugi Kawakami with a completely unfamiliar look, like looking at a monster.
Only now did she realize that although Tsumugi Kawakami loved to laugh, he was very gentle and caring towards her, and liked to bring her some medical magazines, and even took her to eat, go shopping, and relax at the risk of irritating Gin...
But in fact, when he looked at her, when he looked at Gin, when he looked at the guinea pig in the insulation room and the poor woman on the iron frame bed...
There is no difference in the eyes.
