Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Feng Qi’s face.
“What plan?”
“The plan against the Scarlet Research Institute.”
When he heard that the owner of the fog was targeting the Scarlet Research Institute, his heart skipped a beat.
“Why are you focusing on the Scarlet Research Institute? We don’t have any conflicts of interest with them. Furthermore, even the authority of the Tiger Soul Research Institute can’t uncover information about the Scarlet Research Institute, let alone their true strength.”
“We haven’t fully secured our position in the Tiger Soul Research Institute yet. Launching a hasty attack on the Scarlet Research Institute now could lead to a catastrophe.”
At this moment, the owner of the fog smiled and nodded.
“Your analysis is correct. My thoughts are the same as yours. I think it’s too risky to attack the Scarlet Research Institute rashly… However, you’re wrong about one thing. We do have a conflict of interest with the Scarlet Research Institute.”
“What conflict of interest?” He couldn’t help but ask.
“After the spiritual resources sent by the frontlines reach the Star City airport, they will be distributed. Star City’s research institute doesn’t receive a significant allocation of resources. The majority goes to the military, the Scarlet Research Institute, and our Tiger Soul Research Institute.”
“If we want to obtain more resources, we have to take down the other two factions.”
“We can’t interfere with the military. After all, the military holds a special status and has close ties with the Alliance Military. Furthermore, the resources required by the Alliance Military have less conflict with us.”
“In comparison, the Scarlet Research Institute is our greatest competitor.”
“If we can take down the Scarlet Research Institute, the amount of resources we obtain every time we distribute resources will increase greatly.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Qi immediately understood what the owner of the fog was thinking.
However, the Scarlet Research Institute was the key to this sacrifice timeline. How could he let the owner of the fog attack the Scarlet Research Institute?
Furthermore, there were no records of the Tiger Soul Research Institute attacking the Scarlet Research Institute in the previous timeline.
At this thought, Feng Qi immediately said.
“I understand your thoughts, but it’s too risky to attack the Scarlet Research Institute.”
The owner of the fog smiled and nodded.
“This is what I’m going to explain to you next. I’ve never considered attacking the Scarlet Research Institute personally. I can rely on external forces to resist the Scarlet Research Institute.”
“Tell me about it.”
“The plan is straightforward. I aim to create circumstances that prompt the Science and Technology Research Institute to attack the Scarlet Research Institute. I believe that once the Science and Technology Research Institute, along with the black shadow faction backing it, takes action, they will certainly have the capability to dismantle the Scarlet Research Institute.”
Hearing this, Feng Qi’s heart skipped a beat.
In the previous timeline, the Scarlet Research Institute had preemptively concealed themselves in a secret base due to the pressure exerted by the Science and Technology Research Institute.
Now that he heard the owner of the fog’s thoughts, he could not help but suspect that this matter was related to the owner of the fog.
At this thought, Feng Qi immediately asked.
“Do you have a detailed plan now?”
“I have a plan, but it’s not perfect yet.”
“The first step of the plan is to create a conflict between the Science and Technology Research Institute and the Scarlet Research Institute.”
“The focus of this phase of the plan is the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team affiliated with the Science and Technology Research Institute. I recently utilized my authority to review the frontline mission list and discovered that the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team is scheduled to go to Former Days City in 40 days for a construction mission. I’ve decided to seize this opportunity to ambush them.”
“Of course, I won’t kill the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team. I’ll only kill the higher-ups of this combat team and let most of the soldiers go back to report to the black shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute.”
Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team?
After hearing the owner of the fog’s words, he suddenly thought of a major incident that happened when he infiltrated the Science and Technology Research Institute.
At that time, the higher-ups of the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team had died inexplicably, causing no one to take over this combat team.
At that time, in order to obtain higher authority in the Science and Technology Research Institute, he chose to undergo biochemical modifications and was finally promoted to the new leader of the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team.
He would join the second tier of the core circle of the Science and Technology Research Institute.
From the looks of it, the sudden death of the higher-ups of the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team was clearly related to the owner of the fog.
However, he was puzzled about what the owner of the fog had done after killing the higher-ups of the combat team.
It gave the Science and Technology Research Institute the idea of targeting the Scarlet Research Institute.
Thinking of this, he looked at the owner of the fog and asked.
“How are you going to transfer the conflict to the Scarlet Research Institute after killing the higher-ups of the Wolf Devouring Domain Combat Team?” Facing the question, the owner of the fog smiled.
“The mission of the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team is connected to the outer city of Former Days City, Twilight City. There’s a sub-base of the Scarlet Research Institute in Twilight City.”
“I still don’t get it.”
“Don’t forget, Wang Yi, who I once possessed, is a member of the first tier of the core circle of the Science and Technology Research Institute. I have mastered the way the Science and Technology Research Institute sends information to the inside.”
“This time, the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team’s mission will come into contact with the Scarlet Research Institute’s sub-base in Twilight City. I will find an opportunity to take action at that time.”
“After killing all the higher-ups of the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team, I will simulate the higher-ups of the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team and send relevant information to the black shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute.”
“It doesn’t matter what the information is. What I want is to make them suspect that the Scarlet Research Institute’s sub-base in Twilight City has a research project targeting them.”
“The Scarlet Research Institute knows that the black shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute suspects that they have infiltrated human society.”
“If this plan succeeds, it can sow the seed of suspicion in the hearts of the black shadow faction. As long as they aim to persist with the Black Death Project, they will seek ways to suppress the Scarlet Research Institute, treating it as a thorn in their side.”
“After all, the black shadow faction behind the Science and Technology Research Institute is also relying on the strength of humans to grow. They don’t want to be completely exposed to the world. How can they be at ease if the Scarlet Research Institute doesn’t collapse?”
“In order to deepen this conflict, I will carry out a series of actions in the future.”
“In short, the core of this plan is to use the power of the Science and Technology Research Institute to help us destroy the Scarlet Research Institute to achieve our goal.”
“As long as the Scarlet Research Institute collapses, our Tiger Soul Research Institute will undoubtedly be the number one organization in Star City. Most of the resources that were originally allocated to the Scarlet Research Institute will also be allocated to us…”
Listening to the owner of the fog’s description, Feng Qi felt a chill in his heart.
A clear timeline formed in his mind.
Many questions were finally answered.
The higher-ups of the Wolf Devourer Domain Combat Team had died inexplicably.
The Science and Technology Research Institute suddenly sent forces to attack the Scarlet Research Institute’s sub-base in Twilight City.
Subsequently, the Science and Technology Research Institute initiated a sequence of public opinion battles and sabotage operations against the Scarlet Research Institute.
This series of questions that once puzzled him finally came to light.
He looked at the owner of the fog who was still analyzing and perfecting the plan.
Feng Qi only had one thought.
Such a terrifying presence could not be left alive..
