Simultaneous time travel: But our system is out of sync!

After dealing with the military, Oda continued to deploy his own forces.

He turned his gaze to a young red-clad warrior sitting in the third seat.

"Ashina-kun, it seems I'll have to ask you for help."

"The first squad failed, and I estimate the other squads won't be able to hold them off for long either."

"Now only you can take action; you only need to hold them off for half an hour."

Upon hearing this, the red-clad warrior did not speak, but nodded and got up to walk outside.

But as he reached the door, he suddenly turned back.

"Oda, this is the last time."

"After this, we're even."

After saying that, he turned and walked out without looking back.

Upon hearing the red-clad samurai's words, Oda's expression immediately became complicated.

Ashina was the strongest human swordsman he had ever seen, aside from the monsters of the Demon Slayer Corps.

The reason he could get Ashina to work for him was because Ashina had offended a powerful figure in Kyoto.

The Ashina family was hunted down and ended up here.

He saved the Ashina family because he valued their strength, and he also paid a price to appease the important figure in Kyoto.

Ashina lived up to his expectations, solving many of the problems that had been giving him headaches.

Ashina even lost an arm trying to save him.

However, Ashina is righteous and fierce in character.

After he discovered that his god-making project was inhumane, he decided to part ways with him.

However, because of the life-saving grace, Ashina could not turn his back on his benefactor.

So Ashina took the initiative to find him and made a promise with him.

Once you've helped him complete ten things that don't violate justice or morality, you'll have repaid his kindness.

Then he left with his family.

But when the time actually came, Oda, the head of the family, still had mixed feelings.

Because over the years they've spent together, he no longer sees Ashina as a mere subordinate, but rather as a close junior.

Sometimes he even thinks that it would be great if Ashina's surname was Oda.

That way, he could entrust his family to Ashina with peace of mind.

It's not that I have to shoulder the future of the family all by myself now.

Now that Ashina is about to leave, he feels as if a piece is missing from his heart, and for some reason, he feels somewhat empty.

Just after Ashina had completely walked away, the young officer who had been resting with his eyes closed suddenly spoke, his tone mocking.

"Oda, you truly have the heart of a bodhisattva!"

Upon hearing the young officer's words, the head of the Oda family did not even frown.

"What does the captain mean by this?"

The young officer's voice was low and somber.

"The God-Making Project is of paramount importance. Although this is not the only research base, it cannot be allowed to fail in the slightest."

"While Ashina-kun was not directly involved in the god-making project, he was a key insider."

"And as your most trusted subordinate, I think Ashina-kun knows quite a few of your secrets."

"And yet you're prepared to let this very person go so easily."

"Let him serve other forces, even hostile ones."

"If this isn't the heart of a Bodhisattva, what is it?"

"In my opinion, someone like Ashina should either be used for our own purposes or be eliminated completely."

"Otherwise, it will surely become a scourge in the future."

Upon hearing the young officer's words, Oda's expression changed instantly, and his tone became more serious than ever before.

"The captain doesn't need to worry about that."

"Although Ashina-kun is not my family, we are like father and son."

"I know Ashina's character. Even if he starves to death, he would never defect to Oda's opposing forces."

"And even if Ashina-kun might become my enemy in the future."

"I will never regret it."

Upon hearing Oda's words, the young officer was slightly taken aback.

Having come from a prominent family, he had seen many so-called noblemen.

But they are all cold-hearted, ungrateful, and scheming people.

As a soldier, he hated this kind of person the most.

But as we can see now, the head of the Oda family is different from ordinary nobles.

He turned out to be a rare and loyal person.

This discovery also caused a significant change in the young officers' views and attitudes toward Oda's family head.

He began to somewhat acknowledge Oda as the head of the Oda family.

So the disdain that had lingered in his eyes disappeared, and he finally began to take Oda's head seriously.

After answering the young officer's question, Oda, though outwardly calm, was inwardly turbulent.

Although the young officer's words were unpleasant, they were true.

Ashina knows too much, coupled with his outstanding abilities.

If he stays by my side and serves me.

That would certainly be a good thing, but now Ashina is leaving with many secrets.

The situation the young officer described might actually occur.

After a brief moment of thought, a cold glint flashed in Oda's eyes.

At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind, which was the sentence Cao Cao said in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me.

So he called over a person he completely trusted and whispered a few words in his ear.

After settling matters in Ashina, Oda, the head of the Oda family, turned his attention to the doctor, who had a relatively low profile.

"Doctor, how effective do you think the anesthesia is at targeting the target?"

"Could we use anesthesia to capture him alive?"

The reason why Oda wanted to use an anesthetic to capture Lin Bei alive is also very simple.

Taking down Linbei with the firepower of a military squad would indeed not be a problem.

But the military squad wouldn't care whether Lin Bei lived or died.

If Lin Bei were killed by the military, then all his efforts would have been meaningless.

Upon hearing Oda's question, the doctor hesitated.

"Without knowing the specific physical data of the test subject, I am unsure what dosage is needed to anesthetize him."

"We can only make a rough estimate."

"And as you know, for those special people, ordinary anesthetics may not be very effective."

"But if the dose is too high, it could be fatal."

Upon hearing the doctor's words, the head of the Oda family also frowned.

As the person directly in charge of the god-making project, he naturally had some exposure to human experiments.

He understood that the doctor was right, but after thinking for a while, he still said to the doctor.

"You know how important this test subject is to us, so we have to try it no matter what."

The doctor nodded upon hearing this.

"Understood, I'll go prepare right away."

After all the arrangements were made, Oda, the head of the Oda family, glanced around the command room with a solemn expression.

"Gentlemen, our fate rests on this game."

Then he closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and waited for the final result.

Seeing this, the others also wisely left the command room and went to their respective destinations.

Just as Oda's plan was progressing smoothly,

Lin Bei had already broken through three or four obstacles without any effort.

Their method of obstruction was basically the same as that of the pair of samurai they had encountered at the beginning.

The results were basically the same.

Like an ant on the roadside, it was casually crushed to death by Lin Bei's foot.

However, the two flame and poison gas traps in the middle caused Lin Bei some trouble.

However, on the one hand, his living dead body has a certain resistance to fire and poison gas.

In addition, he still had a large reserve of yang energy. After consuming more than ten portions of yang energy, he calmly solved the mechanism and arrived at the core of the experimental base.

Just when Lin Bei thought that the underground base's power was nothing more than that.

The sight of a red-clad warrior in the passage, who seemed to have been waiting for him all along, made Lin Bei's expression turn serious for the first time.
