Chapter 73: Spy Plot Generated
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Faced with Wei Wei’s invitation, Feng Qi felt helpless.
If he agreed to it, the path he would explore in the future would become narrower. His starting point would be having to join the Scarlet Research Institute.
Therefore, from the perspective of the relationship between reality and the future, he definitely could not agree to this invitation.
Even if he did, it had to his future self doing so, turning his joining of the Scarlet Research Institute into a future line so as to go undercover to find some useful information.
As for this timeline in reality, before he had absolute influence and strength, it was better not to interact with the Scarlet Research Institute.
Therefore, he immediately shook his head and said,
“Director Wei, I’m really sorry. After graduation, I plan to join Tiger Soul Research Institute. After all, it is my best choice in terms of cultivation technique research. My knowledge is limited in the biological sciences, so I am really not up to the task.”
…..
Wei Wei seemed to be mentally prepared for Feng Qi’s rejection. She smiled and said,
“Perhaps you know too little about the Scarlet Research Institute. In fact, we also dabble in cultivation techniques. You can totally conduct cultivation techniques research in the Scarlet Research Institute… But, you’re right. In terms of cultivation techniques foundation, we still can’t compare to research institutes like the Tiger Soul Research Institute that focus on researching cultivation techniques.”
“However, I still hope that you can consider the Scarlet Research Institute. I believe, given your talent, you can dabble in more things. For example, the concept of planting gods this time is a very novel concept of cultivation and human evolution. If you join us, we can give you more resources to carry out such research.”
Faced with Wei Wei’s repeated invitations, Feng Qi was very troubled.
He still did not know if the Scarlet Research Institute was good or bad.
If it was really an evil faction, perhaps after a period of time, he would have to face the choice of whether or not to betray humanity.
If he did not agree, he might have to go to the guillotine the next day.
If he agreed, he would be in even greater danger. In order to ensure that he remained under their control, the Scarlet Research Institute would definitely have all kinds of methods. They might even put him through modification of his physical body. Just thinking about it made him shudder.
Only the future line could consider this choice. He could not agree to it in reality.
Otherwise, it would be equivalent to increasing the difficulty at the start of the future line for himself. The subsequent path would not be easy.
However, he did not directly refuse. After all, there was still room for negotiation.
“Let me think about it. This too sudden. I haven’t thought it through yet.”
“It’s my fault, I am too anxious. I can’t wait to start research on human evolution with you as soon as possible after discovering a talent like you. If you have any thoughts, you can contact me at any time. I’ll reserve an early admission slot for you for a year.”
“Thank you very much.”
“By the way, aren’t you curious about what experiments we will be using your blood for? Usually, when we want to obtain blood samples from other geniuses, their reaction is usually to ask about the purpose of collecting the blood samples.” Wei Wei asked curiously.
II II
You old hag, is this a question I can ask? What if you kill me because I know too much?
At this thought, he immediately shook his head and said,
“Every research institute has its own confidential content. If you want to tell me, you’ll naturally tell me. If you don’t want to tell me, it’s useless for me to ask.”
“You’re really different. All the geniuses I know have a strong desire to explore the unknown. Someone like you is rare.” A charming smile appeared on Wei Wei’s face.
“But the research in this area is really not a secret. Although it’s not public, there’s no harm in telling you.
“Actually, the Scarlet Research Institute has been working a project on how to replicate the talent of geniuses, or rather, whether we can mass-produce human geniuses.
“That’s why you young and promising geniuses are our research subjects.
“However, there has been no progress made so far. It’s really a pity. If there are results in this aspect and we can mass-produce geniuses, the future of mankind will be bright.”
Hearing this, Feng Qi could not help but be stunned.
Producing geniuses in masses? What a wild and daring idea.
However, before he knew the truth about the Scarlet Research Institute, he did not dare to jump to conclusions.
Perhaps the Scarlet Research Institute was not producing geniuses, but researching how to stop the birth of geniuses.
The core research direction of the Scarlet Research Institute was “biological sciences.” If it was really an evil force, it was possible to create a biological virus to stop the birth of human geniuses.
He suddenly thought of the smallpox virus that had disappeared. This virus used to only have humans as its host.
Perhaps the Scarlet Research Institute was also developing a special virus that could only live in a single species, thereby strangling the growth potential of mankind.
Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, Wei Wei looked at the time in the lower right corner and smiled.
“I still have research projects to follow up on. Let’s call it a day. If you have any ideas, you can contact me at any time. The Scarlet Research Institute looks forward to you joining us.”
“Okay, Director Wei.”
After hanging up the video call, Feng Qi fell into deep thought.
“The Genetics Department of the Scarlet Research Institute…”
He remained vigilant against Wei Wei.
In addition to the content in Mu Qing’s memory, there was another important reason. He could not guarantee whether Wei Wei was trustworthy.
If the Scarlet Research Institute was a cancer rooted in human civilization, then as a director of the institute, Wei Wei must have already submitted to domain creatures and become their tool.
Therefore, no matter what, it was not wrong to be vigilant.
However, after interacting with Wei Wei, he now had another choice in his future.
Wei Wei had given him a year to choose if he wanted to join the Scarlet Research Institute. He could get his future self in one of the timelines to join the Scarlet Research Institute as an undercover agent to investigate the internal intelligence.
This way, even if he was sacrificed, it would not affect him from making new choices in the future.
At this thought, Feng Qi suddenly sighed.
The path to a bright future seemed to be filled with his own corpses. Human civilization could be said to be advancing by stepping on his remains…
It could also be said that he was using his death time and time again to push for future changes, allowing human civilization to avoid calamity and move in a better direction.
He felt guilty from the bottom of his heart towards his future self.
However, if he, in this timeline, was the one to be sacrificed, he would also make the same choice without hesitation.
The path to a bright future was already filled with thorns, and it would definitely be accompanied by sacrifices. And some things surpassed death in his eyes.
At this thought, the sadness in his heart disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face.
Looking at the time on the screen, he took out his smartphone and called Lin Ran.
“Time to eat!”
“Roger that!”
