GOR Chapter 139: Storyline
“Shh!” Nicole made a gesture to hush Chen Xiaolian before quickly whispering out. “Listen carefully! This must be the appearance of characters from the storyline!”
Special storyline?
Chen Xiaolian let out a bitter laugh inwardly.
…
“Mikiko! How did you get here?” Yoko embraced her daughter and her body trembled as she looked on at the crying Takeuchi Mikiko with a surprised expression.
She was a mature woman after all. She subconsciously raised her head to look at Chen Xiaolian and his team, observing their heavily armed appearance… appearance wise, they were all wearing the standard equipment, combat clothes and tactical vests reserved for the Special Assault Team.
The appearance that their team gave off was similar to that of… a team of armed police forces!
“You people are from the police force?” Yoko suddenly broke down in tears. “Have the police finally arrived?”
Chen Xiaolian did not say anything and simply looked at the woman. Roddy who was standing beside, darted his eyes around and quickly shouted. “That is right! We are the Special Assault Team from the Metropolitan Police Department. We received a report that someone is engaging in illegal activities here, so…”
“It is not merely an illegal activity!” Yoko panicked and cried out in a loud voice. “It is terrorism! It is a very serious crime! It is a very, very serious crime! They will kill many, many people!”
Qiao Qiao had already moved over. She knelt beside Yoko and slowly asked under Chen Xiaolian’s observation. “Do not be anxious. Tell us everything slowly, what happened?”
…
A few minutes later, after listening to Takeuchi Yoko, Chen Xiaolian and his team finally understood what the ‘instance dungeon storyline’ was.
After gaining an understanding of the instance dungeon storyline, Roddy could not help himself and was the first to sigh. “Does it have to be so outrageous? Is the Development Team not afraid that this will disrupt the balance of this world? To think they would come up with such a terrible kind of technology.”
Nicole coolly replied. “What is there to be afraid of? Instance dungeon areas will be blocked off from the world outside. This storyline is confined within this instance dungeon area and time. Once this instance dungeon ends, there will be no impact toward the outside world.”
…
The general gist of the storyline was as follows:
(This was the storyline within this instance dungeon) The Japanese government had been secretly transferring funds or funding a mysterious research institute.
This research institute was dedicated to the research of some powerful military technology. After a considerable period of research, the members of this research gradually divided into two factions.
One of the factions prioritized research of living beings and they set up a research project named ‘Super Bio-transformed Warrior’. The main objective of this project was to research and develop the innate potential within humans. However, after years of research, a change occurred!
After researching other life forms, animals and even insects, this faction believed that enhancing the special characteristics of these life forms and conducting further research on them would net results that could be used in the military field. They would be able to create a battle strength that far surpasses an ordinary ‘bio-transformed warrior’.
In other words, this faction believed that creating those powerful ‘monsters’ with battle strength surpassing a bio-transformed warrior would give more value for the military.
This faction was named ‘Bio-transformation Faction’.
The other faction from the research institute believed that all individual life forms were insignificant. No matter how much the flesh was strengthened, there will always be a limit. Thus, they followed the ‘orthodox’ path of technological research, believing that the ultimate goal should be to create the most powerful technological weaponry.
This faction was named ‘Mechanical Faction’.
Although the Bio-transformation Faction and Mechanical Faction were both part of this research institute, the differing direction taken by their research would often lead to disputes and competition. Most importantly, in their competition to gain more allocated resources and funding for their research, the two sides would often bicker without respite.
From a general perspective, the Bio-transformation Faction’s research direction was too ‘heavy’, leading to upper management feeling somewhat freaked out. Moreover, many of their research contents were those that could not be publicized and would be considered as a violation of human ethics by most people.
One such example was the synthesis of genes from various different life forms: animals, insects and humans to create a ‘monster’.
Once such actions were exposed, most of the community will lash out at them.
Thus, their field of research gradually became narrower due to the decreased amount of funding and resources by upper management.
The Mechanical Faction on the other hand, had always been the main research direction advocated by the upper management.
After all, the research and development of electronics and mechanical types of military weaponry was more in keeping with the orthodox way of thought. Even when revealed, the public would not criticize them much.
In recent years, the Mechanical Faction had managed to achieve a great success while the Bio-transformation Faction also managed to achieve a massive breakthrough.
However, at this time when both factions had attained success, the upper management felt that, due to the limited amount of resources and funding, they would have to weigh their options and continue to support only one of the two factions. The other faction would then have to face the predicament of a reduced research funding.
Thus… the Bio-transformation Faction made a dangerous decision!
Generally speaking, those researchers from the Bio-transformation Faction were all slightly mad. Furthermore, these mad men possessed a rather perverted mind-set.
Just think about it, would there be a normal person who could conduct experiments to transform a human into a monster every day?
People such as these have almost no morals under human standards and would not care about matters such as ethics and morals.
Thus, those mad men made an insane move.
…
“You mean… these bastards, in order to have the upper management recognize and value the fruits of their research…they lost their sense of reasoning and unleashed their research product, a genetic virus that triggers monster transformations through the underground drainage channel? They unleashed it throughout all of Tokyo?”
Chen Xiaolian sucked in a breath of cold air.
There were 20 million people in Tokyo City! If you factor in the other people in the surrounding vicinity of Tokyo City… the number would certainly exceed 40 million!
Against 40 million people… these were fellow citizens! They unleashed a genetic virus upon them to transform them into monsters!
Using this method to place pressure upon the upper management and at the same time, show off how incredible the fruits of their research were…
Such a kind of move was certainly an act by those who had lost their reasoning!
…
On the surface, Takeuchi Yoko, Takeuchi Mikiko’s mother held the identity of an ordinary inventory administrator of a large company.
However, this was just a cover.
She was in fact a member of this research institute. Naturally, she was not one of the core researchers. More accurately, she was simply an administrative assistant to one of the core researchers from the ‘Mechanical Faction’. Her work resembled those of secretaries and she has had no hand in the research process.
Next, an even more outrageous storyline happened.
Takeuchi Yoko was widowed early on and had been single since then. Due to the need to conceal her identity within this mysterious research institute, it was only normal for her to not have much when it comes to social circles.
In the past two years, she got close to one of her colleagues within the research institute. That person was none other than Domoto.
