Chapter 337 Hide and Seek

hateful!

It's really hateful!
How could a serving criminal policeman have such thoughts?
Gen Tamako was so angry that smoke came out of her nostrils. Even though Section Chief Fujiwara was her senior, she couldn't tolerate it anymore. She had to correct this irresponsible idea!
However, before she could open her mouth, Asahara Shoko acted as a peacemaker. He clapped his hands and signaled Miss Tamako to calm down.

"Compared to the true power, what you said is nothing."

Asahara Shoko paused and nodded to the believer, who then pressed the switch, and the red curtain slowly opened. He loudly announced, "This is the new world of the future!"

The dazzling sunlight shone in, and through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, Yuan Yuzi saw an almost magnificent building - the cylindrical walls reached from sky to earth, and at first glance it looked like a huge mine, with scaffolding extending to the sky. This floor-to-ceiling window was like a frog in a well looking up at the moon.

In the center of the mine, there is a strange giant tree.

Yuan Yuzi had never seen such a big tree. It was covered with dense vines like patches of fungus. There were no branches or leaves on the top, only a bare trunk, like a dry giant with its arms outstretched to the sky.

Fujiwara Yoshi was so shocked that he couldn't open his mouth. He looked up and saw a seagull flying by and landing on a tree trunk. In the blink of an eye, the seagull disappeared.

In order to allow them to see more clearly, Asahara Shoko gestured to the two to move closer to the floor-to-ceiling window. There was a row of telescopes next to it, which looked like coin-operated telescopes on the beach or in buildings, allowing tourists to see the scenery.

Yuan Yuzi came closer, holding the telescope in both hands, scanning back and forth, and found that many workers in protective clothing were hanging on the tree trunks, collecting small leaves similar to those of fungi;
She looked down to the bottom of the tree trunk and found that the ecological environment of this place had changed. The weeds around it did not look like plants, but rather like the limbs of insects. When the pickers passed by, they would bend and deform, looking like mimosa, but even more disgusting than mimosa.

Something seemed to be moving around in the weeds. She couldn't see clearly and didn't dare to look closely. She quickly turned the telescope and looked around the wall, observing the area that was still under construction, trying to find a breakthrough to escape. However, she found that there were many white-skinned, high-nosed foreigners participating in the construction.

"Is this... a tree man?"

Fujiwara Yu recognized it. He had seen this thing in Murinan, but compared to the two, the terrifying haunted house in Murinan seemed small and exquisite.

"This is a sacred tree." Asahara Shoko corrected his wording.

Fujiwara no Takashi has a psychological trauma towards the tree man, and even if he changes his name, it will not change his impression of Nuecha.

Seeing that the two did not show any admiration, Asahara Shoko was somewhat dissatisfied. He stood aside, stroking his beard, and explained himself:

"As long as you drink the tea brewed from the sacred tree, you will not only gain supreme bliss, but also immortality and a lifespan equal to that of heaven and earth..."

"This is the ticket to the new world! In the new world of the future, everything revolves around the sacred tree. After the world is destroyed, new humans with infinite lifespans will rebuild order. Only those who are blessed by the sacred tree can enjoy supreme glory!"

Yuan Yuzi thought it was bullshit, she didn't believe such nonsense.

Fujiwara Yu had seen the last appearance of the tree man, and now he dared not say anything. He finally came to his senses. After passing the thirteenth level trial, the final reward would probably be this thing... From this point of view, this trial was indeed not very reasonable, and Miss Tamako was quite foresighted.

Seeing that the two men were silent, Asahara Shoko probably thought they didn't believe it, so he suggested that they experience the effects of the sacred tree for themselves, but the two men vehemently refused.

As luck would have it, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. It was a call from a foreign laboratory, saying that they wanted to withdraw investment and troops.

Asahara Shoko looked gloomy, avoided the two people, and asked in a low voice the reason for the withdrawal of investment. The other party gave a very simple answer, only one:
This thing has no research value. Like ordinary mushrooms, it will cause hallucinations, somatization, stiffness, and eventually vegetative state after being eaten. The external manifestation is just because the body is hollowed out by the mushrooms, and it cannot prolong life.

If it is used to make biological weapons, the killing rate is a bit low, far inferior to genetic viruses; if it is used to study its medicinal value, it is better to develop chemical synthetic drugs, which can be updated and iterated to make money; even if it is used to study human mutations, it was found after dissection that there is no practical application scenario - laboratory researchers even did the math and found that the price of mercenaries is lower than the price of raising a tree man, and they are more useful.

Of course, pollination phenomena and parasitic behaviors are indeed worthy of study. Publishing a journal or a paper will definitely win an award. If you study them for ten or twenty years, you will definitely find application scenarios.

But as for how much impact it can have on human society...it's probably not as big as AIDS, which spread from gorillas to humans.

Asahara Shoko tried his best to retain him and offered to give up his shares, but was rejected.

The investor said that the "New World" project can continue to operate, but the operator and executive chairman must be replaced instead of being sent away by "giving up shares".

"Yes, Mr. Asahara, you are fired and someone will be replacing you soon."

Asahara Shoko cursed loudly, saying that the New World was his hard work and the foundation on which Aum Shinrikyo relied for its survival. He was the only leader of Aum Shinrikyo, so how could he be replaced by just a word from an outsider?
The whole island is his believer. He raised his arm and tens of thousands of people responded. These white pigs who don't understand the situation dare to say "You are fired"...

ridiculous!

After Asahara Shoko finished cursing, he asked who would replace him, saying that guy would definitely not see the sun tomorrow!

Fujiwara Yu and Minamoto Tamako looked at each other, both of them were a little confused, not knowing what had happened. The latter was a little gloating, thinking that something good must have happened to make the squinty-eyed leader so angry.

At this moment, the curtain closed automatically. The believers looked down at the remote control and found that they had not pressed the close button. Suddenly, the radio started to play, with the same cold electronic voice:

"it's me."

Asahara Shoko was stunned for a moment. He hung up the phone and sent his followers to the radio room to arrest people. He wanted to see who dared to commit treason and make sure to skin this guy alive!
The believer trotted to the elevator door and pressed the button twice, but the elevator did not respond. He looked up and saw that the numbers on the screen had not changed.

Before anyone could react, the radio sounded again:
"The trial rules are being drawn, please be patient..."

Gen Tamako suddenly had a bad feeling. She turned to look at Asahara Shoko, whose eyes were wide open with a look of disbelief.

She was about to ask, but she heard the radio continue to broadcast:
"Extraction successful!"

The next second, machine guns popped out from the walls on both sides of the hall, with the black muzzles pointed at everyone:

"This round of trials is..."

"hide and seek."
