Zongman, can you be immortal with me for the rest of your life?

But now she realized a possibility based on the question Kerry had asked earlier.

The man in front of him suspected that those people were captured for human research...

Kerry didn't hear what she murmured the second time, but he didn't care, because it was enough to know that such a thing happened.

He left a word and turned to the other side, facing the uniformed men of the Mountain Dog Unit.

"If the village builds a dam, it will hinder their research."

Although it is a question, there is no tone of asking a question.

Lihua raised her eyes and looked at Kerry's back in horror.

Wait! Thinking about it this way, it seems to be true, but…but, it shouldn't be…it shouldn't be that the stubborn old-fashioned Sonozaki family and the extremely xenophobic villagers don't want to move away…

She thought about it for a long time and realized that she might have had the opportunity to save her parents but did not cherish it. She felt a pang of heartache in an instant.

But on the other side, she saw Kerry slapping someone who had woken up for a while and even had wet pants.

"Hey, are you awake?"

"Woo!"

"Oh, I forgot to take out your socks."

"Hoohoo!"

The other party gasped in fear, shaking his head and begging for mercy.

Kerry didn't care what he said and just asked what he wanted to know.

"Cotton Flow Festival... that's the name, right? Who is responsible for the deaths at this festival every year?"

"I...I don't know."

The other party shook his head repeatedly.

"It's okay. I'd be happy to play you a song to help you remember."

Kerry's words stunned both the other party and Lihua who was listening behind him.

Playing? At a time like this?

Then they saw Kerry take some steel wire from the instrument bag.

"These are my guitar strings. I'm going to pierce them through a part of your body, and then I'll strum the strings for you, and you can make music for me."

As he spoke, Kerry stretched out his big hand and gestured.

"no, do not want!"

The man on the ground immediately understood what Kerry meant. He lost control of his terrified expression and kept backing away.

"Well...but maybe your colleagues will tell me after watching you and me play together, and I'll let them go. Then you'll be at a loss as an instrumentalist."

Watching the steel needle approaching his pants little by little, the uniformed man, who anticipated being turned into a Yakitori lantern, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"I say! I say! We didn't! It has nothing to do with us! The only one we know about is the little devil named Wushi in the basement, and the mother of the little devil over there!

It's all because Director Takano said he wanted to study living Queen infected people! And! And! That dam supervisor, when we found him, he was already sick!

And we also kidnapped the son of the councilor and the son of the Minister of Construction who proposed building the dam. Those villagers thought that the country boy's family had connections. If we hadn't kidnapped his son, their protests would be useless!

Please spare us. My family will not be happy if I tell them this. Don't tell them, don't tell them that I said it. Kill the other people. I know everything they know. Just ask me. If they run away, they will tell nonsense!"

Chapter 138 Guilty Meow!

Lihua was so scared that her whole body was shaking when she saw how Kerry treated that man.

Hinamizawa has a now-abandoned traditional custom called "intestinal flow". In ancient times, people would tie up the sick residents and then dig out their intestines and eat them while they were still alive.

Of course, from a scientific point of view, this is similar to vaccination, getting a little bit of antibodies first.

But Lihua felt that if Chris played it, the pain would probably be no less than that of intestinal flow.

But what that person said quickly irritated Lihua.

As for how her parents died, every time she reincarnated, she would have a high fever, and then her father would die in an accident and her mother would disappear. She never figured out what happened.

"What do you mean? What happened to my mother?"

Because Lihua was not gagged, she shouted out excitedly.

This attracted Xiangzi, who was patrolling nearby, to rush back immediately, take a look, and then walk to Lihua's side.

"Keep your voice down!"

Xiangzi pretended to be fierce and scolded Lihua, and Lihua immediately became obedient.

Seeing Xiangzi coming back, Kerry didn't chase them away anymore, because it seemed that there was no need to perform musical instruments this time. They had already started talking. Then Kerry looked at the bread man who had explained some things.

"Tell me more about it."

“We don’t know how much…how much, we just know our boss gave us a sum of money, which is much higher than our salary, so we just listened to him.

First, there was a rumor that a dam was going to be built here. If the dam was built, our research might be over, so we kidnapped the son of the Minister of Construction and threatened him to stop the project..."

"That's not it. I'm talking about the experimental subject."

Kerry has no interest in their boring political struggles.

As he spoke, Kerry moved the wire in his hand forward.

The man's face twitched with fear, and he continued speaking with some stammering.

“That… that time, the Queen was infected… that little brat over there. She was sick, and her mother came to the hospital to make a scene!

She felt that our research was the cause of her daughter's illness and asked us to stop the research.

so……"

"so?"

"So we cooperated with Takano to drug her father, and... we also helped Takano control her when her mother came looking for her."

As he spoke, he shook his head repeatedly.

"That woman was a lunatic. She said she didn't use anesthesia to make the research more effective. That woman, when she was taken out, tears were still in her eyes. Her brain, chest, and abdomen were all open. We all vomited during the treatment.

We have no choice. Everyone has accepted Takano's money, especially Captain Kokonogi! We, I... I have no choice. I... I have told you everything I can say.

"Shut up, who is that Wu Shi?"

Kerry once again ruthlessly interrupted his excuse.

But Lihua over there had her eyes wide open.

After so many reincarnations, she always felt that this group of people was a force to protect herself.

My family is precious research material. If they want to produce results, they should do everything they can to protect my family. No matter whether it is my parents' affairs or my own affairs, I have never doubted these people.

But she never expected that her family had actually refused the research for her safety, and her parents killed her simply because they didn't want them to continue being studied.

Nor did they realize that ordinary blood draw studies were not enough for those people.

Moreover, his mother was killed by vivisection without anesthesia.

Lihua had been prepared to end it all with death, so even when Kerry was tormenting her, she had an attitude of "I'm a rag, you can play with me as you please."

But this news instantly shattered her psychological defenses.

"Damn you! Liars! Takano!!! Ugh!"

Xiangzi's pretty face turned pale because she had heard such a cruel thing that was completely beyond the understanding of a young lady, but she still covered Lihua's mouth with her hand.

Her silver teeth clenched tightly, and anger burned in her heart.

She had heard before that these people were just researchers, and she had thought that she and others were going too far, but now she realized that she was the one who was naive.

"Tsk..."

Kerry first thought of the information that Kazuma and Kirito had synchronized in his mind, that the clinic must have conducted human experiments, and then stared at this person, waiting for his next words.

"Hojo Satoshi, we don't know exactly how the Hojo couple died. Only Dr. Irie and Takano know...

Hojo Satoshi was brought back by Dr. Irie. He and Takano are both in charge of this project on our side.

But when he was brought back, he had already fallen ill. Dr. Irie just gave him routine treatment but there was no improvement. Only Takano would occasionally let us open the door and she would go in alone to draw blood without telling Dr. Irie.

"Yes! That's right! We also helped dispose of a body. Yes! It was Hojo's aunt. It seems that Hojo Satoshi might have killed her when he was ill... Takano asked us to make it look like the ghost legend circulating in this village is haunting the shrine god!"

This information means nothing to Kerry, because as long as it is done, it is a death sentence for Kerry, no matter how much.

Kerry then asked several questions in succession, such as the ultimate goal of the research and the government's attitude towards this.

But the other party was just a grassroots security guard and they knew that all the dirty work had passed through their hands, but they knew nothing about what was happening at the higher-ups.

To be on the safe side, Kerry then asked several other bakers, and the results they got were similar.

Seeing this, Kerry stood up with great regret.

"We're ready to move to the deserted location Sarutobi Hiruzen gave us."

"Okay, do you want my help?"

Xiangzi turned around and glanced at those people.

She didn't ask how to divert this problem with this group of people.

Because she already realized what Kerry was going to do next, and she had no problem with it.

"That's not necessary."

Xiangzi turned around, took out a piece of cloth, stuffed it into Lihua's mouth, and picked her up while she was twisting her body wildly.

Knowing the little girl's background, Xiangzi felt a little sympathetic, so he stopped carrying her like a pig.

At the same time, Lihua struggled frantically. Xiangzi thought at first that she wanted to get down, but then he realized that she was actually struggling to stick her head out from his shoulder.

Lihua's eyes, which had turned into glass, were filled with hatred. She wanted to witness with her own eyes the tragic deaths of those people.

"Wait!! We've already told you, didn't you say you'd let us go once you were sure? You're here looking for research materials, right? I can help you! I..."

"I, Shimura Danzo, never keep my promises."

Chris inserted the wire in his hand into their mouths and began a violent guitar solo.

On the other side...Irie Clinic.

Takano Sansi listened to his subordinates' report with a gloomy face, and pulled open the curtains. He could vaguely see some villagers surrounding the clinic with a covetous look on their faces.

Chapter 139: Despicable Outsider.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

While watching, Takano Sanshi banged the table hard, making a loud "bang! bang! bang!" noise.

The other three responsible persons who were watching nearby looked at each other in confusion.

One is the origin of the name of Irie Clinic, the nationally renowned disease and brain expert, Kyosuke Irie, and the other is the previous cuckolded brother, Tomitake, who is responsible for auditing the accounts here. Since the audit is only done regularly, he comes once every few months. The last one is a fierce-looking man, Kokonoki, who is the captain of the Yamaguchi, the security department here.

"Takano, calm down. We can't rule out the possibility that Rika was kidnapped by a traitor within the Yamanouchi, or that she was targeted by those outsiders. What we need to do is send someone to rescue Rika-chan."

Irie pushed up his glasses, and although he was anxious inside, he still pretended to be calm.

"calm?"

Takano turned his head and looked at Irie.

Then a thought flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled.

“Indeed, I should calm down.

Xiao Chimu, report to your superiors immediately, the Queen infected person has been maliciously kidnapped and is now missing.

Once those country folks start to move, record a video and report it to the higher-ups. The local infected have gone berserk due to the lack of the Queen's infected. The Queen's infected are suspected to have died or been transferred out of the area. Furthermore, a reporter disguised as a folklorist has arrived in the area. This incident is highly likely to be exposed. Requesting the initiation of the 48-hour terminal operation plan."

"boom!!"

After hearing what she said, Irie couldn't sit still anymore and slammed the table.
