They traveled through time at the same time, but the villainous scientist

Chapter 141 Genjiro: I was here first!
The pale blue light on the computer screen, like a thin layer of ice, covered Yuan Zhinv's face.

His expression was somewhat dazed, as if his soul had been ripped out, leaving only an empty shell.

Lines of cold text, one shocking word after another, were magnified and distorted in his golden eyes, finally imprinted deep into his mind.

The giant ship "Lenin" sank into the depths of the Bering Sea, and the long-abandoned Siberian port of "Black Swan"...

The locations in these files, however, are now connected to his life in an incredibly cruel way.

Test sample.

He, the man he called his brother, and the girl imprisoned deep within Genji Heavy Industries, Erii Uesugi... all three of them were actually test subjects.

These are test-tube babies created using the sperm of the previous emperor and cultured in different mothers.

This truth was like a poisoned dagger, piercing through all his understanding.

More importantly, there is an insurmountable chasm between him and Genjiro, his hatred and fear of his identity as a "demon"... All of this stems from a meticulously planned conspiracy.

Theoretically speaking, there is nothing wrong with his bloodline. He is not a born "ghost," but a pitiful wretch who was deliberately led into darkness.

The mastermind behind all of this was none other than his beloved teacher, the "King General" who rescued him from hell and gave him new life and power—Dr. Herzog.

Using him and his brother, one becoming the Dragon King of the Demon Clan and the other the heir to the Snake Clan, they gradually ascended to the pinnacle of power within their respective factions.

Then, like manipulating black and white pieces on a chessboard, the conflict between the two organizations was completely ignited, sparking a war that swept across the entire Japanese mixed-race world.

The ultimate goal is to direct everyone's attention, and all the resources that the two organizations have poured into it, toward the seabed where the gods are sleeping—Takamagahara.

Yuan Zhinv did not doubt the authenticity of the information.

The mysterious man who called himself "M" was like an omnipresent ghost. The details he provided were so detailed that they perfectly matched what he had secretly investigated and knew.

Those seemingly unrelated fragments were connected by M with a bloody thread.

A bone-chilling cold rose from my tailbone and instantly spread throughout my body.

Who exactly is that M? He seemed to have witnessed it all firsthand, like a ghost standing in the shadows of time, coldly watching the two brothers perform a pre-ordained tragedy like clowns.

What's even more terrifying is that he simply couldn't refuse the price offered by the other party.

The price that guy offered him was a possibility, a possibility that could get his life back on track.

This thought was like a thorn buried deep in his heart, which he never dared to touch or even think about normally. But once it was precisely pulled out by M, this devilish guy, the pain and longing that had been suppressed for many years erupted like a volcano.

He has no choice.

From the moment he answered that call and heard that name, he had already lost.

This guy named M... is even more terrifying than the King...

……

Meanwhile, at the very bottom of Genji Heavy Industries, the air was filled with the faint hum of electronic components, mixed with the bubbling of ice-cold cola.

On the giant screen, pixelated fighters are fiercely battling, and the light and shadow effects of their skills illuminate the entire room in a flickering manner.

"Hadoken!"

Shigeru Miyamoto, controlling his character, absentmindedly unleashed a Hadouken, his eyes darting around.

Beside him, Uesugi Erii sat upright, her fair hands deftly moving across the custom-made game controller. Her beautiful wine-red eyes reflected the dazzling battle on the screen, her concentration so intense it seemed as if the whole world had shrunk to just the small screen in front of her.

This young girl's mind was as pure as a blank sheet of paper, and Miyamoto Shigeru easily won her favor and trust without much effort.

Of course, he did all this partly because Erii's extremely unstable yet incredibly powerful bloodline was the world's top-tier, living research subject.

On the other hand... he also had to admit that this quiet girl, who could only communicate with a small notebook, was indeed quite likable...

The research is proceeding smoothly.

Thanks to the "highest level of authority" provided by his patriarch, Munemasa Tachibana, a vast amount of genetic samples and research data paved the way for him.

The next step is to systematically analyze the dragon's gene sequence. This process is like deciphering a mystery, requiring you to understand the abilities corresponding to the gene sequence step by step.

But theory is just theory; to transform it into real technology, a massive amount of experimentation and resource investment is still needed.

If he were to release some key technologies now, he would undoubtedly gain the support of the entire Serpent Clan, but that would also mean that Herzog would simultaneously acquire those technologies. He would never do such a foolish thing as funding his enemy.

Therefore, Herzog, the threat lurking deepest within, must be dealt with first.

This is why he used the false identity of "M" and prioritized the development of a bloodline stabilizing agent for "ghosts".

The reason why the king was able to control the demons was that he gave these "ghosts" hope.

For these moths living in the darkness, they will seize any opportunity to catch even the slightest glimmer of light.

Once Herzog comes up with a more effective and side-effect-free potion, his rule within the Felguard will be instantly shaken.

As for the Snake Clan, that's even easier to deal with.

According to the content of the "original novel", the heads of the eight families simply sided with the patriarch Tachibana Munemasa, not Herzog.

Dr. Herzog's greatest strength lies in his ability to perfectly conceal himself behind the scenes.

But this is also his most fatal weakness.

Once a ghost that cannot be seen in the light is dragged out of the darkness and exposed to the sunlight, all his so-called advantages will vanish.

“LOSE”

The glaring red letters suddenly filled the entire screen, announcing the end of the battle.

Shigeru Miyamoto snapped out of his reverie to find his character lying on the ground, his health bar empty.

Erii, standing beside her, did not cheer in victory. Instead, she put down the controller, picked up a small notebook, and began to scribble something on it with a marker.

After she finished writing, she held the notebook up to Shigeru Miyamoto.

Above is a line of neat handwriting, next to which is an unhappy emoticon.

"If you're not focused, you won't be happy even if you win (︿)"

Looking at the words and the pitiful expression beside them, Shigeru Miyamoto couldn't help but chuckle.

"Heh~ Sorry, I was thinking about something just now."

He ruffled Erii's hair and apologized gently.

"Let's play one more round. This time I'll give it my all."

"Hmm~"

Seeing that he had regained his spirits, Erii nodded heavily, her wine-red eyes rekindling with fighting spirit. She picked up the controller, her expression becoming incredibly focused.

The character selection screen reappeared on the screen.

The battle resumes.

This time, Ryu, dressed in a blue training uniform, faces off against Chun-Li, who is dressed in a classic cheongsam. These two iconic figures in the history of fighting games begin a new round of fierce battle on the small screen.

Just then, with a soft "ding," the door to the private elevator in the corner of the room slowly slid open.

A figure stepped out of the gleaming metal carriage. He wore a fine black trench coat, his steps were steady and powerful, and he exuded a chilling aura that kept strangers at bay.

It was Yuan Zhisheng.

Since joining the family's executive department, he has become a workaholic, wishing he could work 24 hours a day.

Having finally gotten a day off, he immediately returned here to see his sister.

He felt a little guilty because he rarely went home or spent much time with the girl while studying at Kassel College.

After graduation, I plunged headfirst into my work...

However, when he came outside the room, he saw a scene that made his pupils suddenly shrink.

Erii... was sitting side by side with a strange man, playing a game.

That position… that position that should have belonged to him… is now occupied by another man…
