Chapter 211: Future Research Institute (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
So the Future Research Institute is behind this game?
But this still cannot explain a problem. Even if the super virtual game had the backing of the Future Research Institute, it wouldn’t be a problem for the Science and Technology Research Institute to destroy the former.
Two guesses surfaced in his mind.
One, there was a powerful domain faction behind the Future Research Institute. The Science and Technology Research Institute did not dare to act rashly.
As for why he didn’t know about this domain faction, it was very likely that it was only discovered by the Science and Technology Research Institute more than a hundred years ago after he died in the sacrifice timeline. Therefore, he, who was at the second tier in the Science and Technology Research Institute at that time, was unaware.
Two, rhe Future Research Institute was also a hidden human faction similar to the Scarlet Research Institute. They were secretly helping humans advance, so they developed a super virtual game.
Moreover, this faction was extremely powerful and secretly supported by a large number of human elites, so they were not afraid of the suppression of the Science and Technology Research Institute.
Both guesses were possible. He couldn’t be sure.
However, in comparison, the second guess was more appropriate.
If it was a domain faction, why would they develop such a super virtual game to promote the development of human civilization?
Unless… this virtual game was similar to Flesh Sacrifice and had potential risks.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Feng Qi felt that it was impossible.
After all, virtual games were not cultivation techniques. They could not plant hidden dangers in the human body and would not affect the human body in reality at all.
[Is there a possibility that there’s a problem with the virtual gaming equipment, such that players’ mental thoughts to be subtly influenced in the gaming experience? In the end, it will cause mankind’s thinking to change. It can be considered an alternative mental control.]
Hearing the narrator’s guess, his heart sank.
There was really such a possibility.
Creating this game was his main direction next. If he could not figure out if there was a problem with this game, he might commit a huge crime.
Then, he would need more sacrifice timelines to make up for the mistakes he made previously.
With doubts, he began to check the relevant information, wanting to figure out what’s in the evidence for the hidden dangers of the super virtual game.
After checking the relevant information, he realized that rhe super virtual game was indeed inextricably linked to the Future Research Institute.
Yet there was another key factor for the success of the game.
That was the virtual gaming capsule.
After activation, this device can connect the player’s brain nerves and simulate reality feedback.
For example, if a player suffered a heavy blow to their chest in the game, the virtual gaming capsule would stimulate the corresponding brain nerves and give the player an immersive experience.
This virtual gaming capsule was developed by a department in the Future Research Institute.
Actually, there were already virtual gaming capsules in the real world. However, because there was no good content, they weren’t prevalent.
After checking rhe relevant information, he realized that the virtual gaming capsules in the real world was also developed by the Future Research institute.
From this information, it seemed to have been settingup a super virtual game for a long time.
However, with this information alone, he still couldn’t determine if the Future Research Institute was good or bad.
With doubts, he began to search for relevant information about it.
This time, Feng Qi finally made a new discovery.
During the search, he found a document that recorded one thing.
The combat teams under the Future Research Institute had had conflicts with the Science and Technology Research Institute.
If that was all, it did not prove that the Future Research Institute was on the side of humans.
After all, there were also conflicts between domain forces. It was similar to the constant strife between rhe Science and Technology Research Institute and the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
However, the information also recorded that the reason for the conflict was that the Science and Technology Research Institute wanted to seize a batch of resources from the Scarlet Research Institute.
At that time, the Scarlet Research Institute was already standing at the center of public opinion and was suspected of being infiltrated by domain creatures.
However, at such a moment, the Future Research Institute took the initiative to come forward and resolve the situation. It confronted the subordinate domain combat team of the Scientific and Technological Research Institute who were preparing to seize this batch of resources. In the end, it escorted the domain combat team from Scarlet that were transiting with this batch of resources in Future City away safely.
From this point of view, the Future Research Institute seemed to know that the Scarlet Research Institute was wronged.
However, it had never appeared to explain anything to the Scarlet Research institute.
[Is there such a possibility that the Future Research Institute is on the side of humans? At the same time, they also know that the Science and Technology Research Institute has been infiltrated by domain forces, but they don’t know if the Scarlet Research Institute is reliable. They only came forward to help because the Science and Technology Research Institute was suppressing the Scarlet Research Institute. ]
After hearing the narrator’s explanation, Feng Qi fell into deep thought and said,
“There’s also such a possibility. The Future Research Institute knows that the Scarlet Research Institute is on the side of humans, but they can’t guarantee that the Scarlet Research Institute is absolutely reliable. They suspect that there might be spies in the Scarlet Research Institute, so they only came forward to resolve the situation but didn’t make contact with the Scarlet Research Institute.”
[I’m not sure, and we can’t rule it out, but we have reason to believe that the Scarlet Research Institute isn’t the only one secretly helping civilization develop. Perhaps there are other human forces who know the truth working silently. However, they all chose to conceal themselves, and we haven’t come into contact with them, so we don’t know the truth.]
Feng Qi agreed with the narrator.
He also felt that the Scarlet Research Institute was definitely not the only faction working for the future of humanity in human civilization. There were definitely other hidden factions lurking in the dark..
