Chapter 524 Belmode’s Secret (Part 2)
Bellmod's words made Lin Xinyi extremely shocked:
Why is it that he is describing his future parents-in-law as his enemies who will destroy his family?
Was it all because of Shiho's parents that he became an orphan?
Lin Xinyi's expression was very complicated.
And Belmode seemed to realize that what he said was a bit extreme.
She bit her lip tightly and was silent for a long time before finally letting go of her hatred for the Miyano couple that had never completely disappeared in the past twenty years:
"It would be biased to say that all this is because of the Miyano couple's fault."
"But they are by no means innocent!"
Belmode slowly recounted what happened that year:
20 years ago, the Miyano couple entered the organization and Karasuma Renye's vision because of their advanced research theories published in the biological world.
19 years ago, the Miyano couple and their daughter Akemi were bewitched to join the organization, and since then they have completely fallen into the control of Karasuma Renye and began to lead the experimental research on elixirs.
At this time, Renye Karasuma was 121 years old.
He is only one year away from breaking the Guinness World Record for the "oldest human being on earth" at 122 years old.
Even with countless life-extending drugs developed by the organization to extend his life, he has still reached the limit of human theoretical lifespan and may die at any time.
So Karasuma Renya can't wait.
"This guy regards the Miyano couple's research as his last straw."
"So he used extremely cruel methods to forcibly control the Miyano couple, and required the Miyano couple to successfully develop the elixir within a year to save his life——"
"If he can't do that, he will have to be buried with the Miyano family."
"These 'burial objects' include their eldest daughter Miyano Akemi."
"And the one who was still pregnant with Elena Miyano at that time."
Belmode glanced at Lin Xinyi helplessly:
"Your little girlfriend, Miyano Shiho."
"This" Lin Xinyi roughly understood the difficult situation of the Miyano couple at that time:
Party A asked Party B to contract a major project of the Three Gorges Dam, but only gave Party B a construction period that was only enough to build a three-story building.
If you succeed, there may not be much reward, but if you fail, you will be exterminated.
Doesn't this drive Party B crazy?
"That's right."
"So the Miyano couple also went crazy."
Belmod smiled coldly and said:
"In order to save their daughter's life and to complete this impossible task, they can only do everything possible to speed up the research progress."
"And to speed up research, illegal human experiments must be done."
"But unlike the illegal human experiments conducted by previous organizations, the 'experimental materials' of the human experiments led by the Miyano couple must meet the special conditions given by them."
"And this special condition is."
"A member of the Karasuma family."
Twenty years ago, the primary target user of the elixir was Karasuma Renye herself.
He didn't need the Miyano couple to develop an elixir that would make all mankind immortal at that time. He only needed to find a way to develop an elixir specifically for him to save his dying life.
Therefore, the Miyano couple strengthened their cognition and responded quickly under the result-oriented work plan. By analyzing users' pain points, they successfully found a way to penetrate users' minds. They embarked on the right track and the right research and development model, and focused on "accelerating drug research and development." The problem itself precipitates the methodology to solve the corresponding problem.
The core idea of this methodology is:
Allocate research resources to the target as much as possible, and empower products with features under a refined R\u0026D model.
speak English.
In order to achieve the one-year completion requirement of the project, the Miyano couple reduced the project goal from "Elixir of Death" to "Elixir of Life for Karasuma Renye Special Edition".
This medicine was specifically designed to target Karasuma Renye's genes.
Therefore, Karasuma Renye's blood relatives, members of the Karasuma family who are more genetically similar to him, became the best research materials for the elixir experiment.
Yes, the best research and development approach extended from the Miyano couple's research ideas is to use "experimental materials" that are related to Karasuma Renya in a targeted manner.
And 19 years ago was 1977, which was still one year away from the birth of the first test-tube baby in history.
At the same time, human cloning technology is still just a theory on paper and is far from practical.
And even though the Miyano couple had mastered the black technology of in vitro fertilization and cloning technology ahead of their time at that time, they could produce substitutes for "experimental materials" through technical means regardless of scientific ethics.
Their project period at that time was only one year.
In this one year, there is no time to cultivate new life.
So there is only one way left in front of Karasuma Renye——
Sacrifice your own blood relatives to achieve eternity.
"That man has gone absolutely crazy."
"As long as he can survive, Renye Karasuma can give up anything."
Speaking of this, Belmod's face was extremely gloomy:
"Including his 'family'."
After learning that experiments on his own tribe could speed up the progress of elixir research, Karasuma Renye's first reaction was:
Are you going to experiment on people from the Karasuma family?
These are my siblings and family! them.
Do they have enough people?
If that's not enough, how about we include the distant relatives who have played the fifth server?
Without saying a word, Renye Karasuma immediately sent all his relatives to the experimental platform.
After the Miyano couple's experiments, none of the "royal relatives" of the Karasuma family survived.
Suddenly, the atmosphere within the Karasuma family was very disharmonious, with a loving father and a filial son, and brothers and sisters being respectful to each other.
However, there is still no decisive progress in drug research and development.
So after Karasuma Renya's close relatives were arrested, he would arrest his distant relatives, and when the distant relatives were also arrested, he would arrest his direct relatives.
"Your parents are distant relatives of the Karasuma family."
"They were originally just ordinary people who had nothing to do with the Karasuma family, but because of the experiment led by the Miyano couple, they became guinea pigs targeted by Renye Karasuma."
Belmod said angrily:
"And I'm in the same situation as your parents, except that I have a closer relationship with Karasuma Renya."
"As an experimental material, I should be the best one."
"Because I am Karasuma Renye's direct granddaughter."
She finally revealed her special relationship with BOSS.
It turns out that Belmode is the boss's granddaughter.
Karasuma Renya herself is of mixed British and Japanese descent, with a nose as sharp as the Penguin's, and a standard Europa face shape.
The child he gave birth to was then intermarried with an Englishman, and the granddaughter Belmode who was finally born has the face of a pure Western beauty.
She grew up under the rule of the organization and was loved by Renya Karasuma.
Of course, this kind of life controlled by criminal organizations since childhood cannot be said to be "carefree". Being forced to grow up in a bloody storm, living with death and darkness is not a good life either.
At that time, Belmode was already in extreme pain.
But she didn't expect it.
It hurt too early.
Her biological grandfather could actually further refresh her understanding of pain:
After consuming all her distant relatives, Renya Karasuma, who completely fell into madness, took her, her parents, her brothers and sisters...
In other words, all the direct relatives of the Karasuma family were sent to the experimental platform.
The experimental results speak for themselves.
Everyone died, and only Belmode survived.
"That's ridiculous."
The corner of Belmod's mouth curled up in a mocking arc:
"That old immortal threatened the lives of the Miyano couple and their children."
"But in the end? The Miyano family's bloodline is still alive and well."
"And the Miyano couple just said a few words and asked him to kill his own child and cut off his own bloodline!"
"." Lin Xinyi was silent for a while.
After hearing this, he finally understood a little bit why Belmod never mentioned this past.
Parents, brothers, sisters, and even myself have all become victims of the organization's drug experiments.
She once had a family too.
But all that has been wiped out.
The memory must have been extremely painful for her.
As a mysterious and tough witch with a thousand faces, she is unwilling to show her fragile side to anyone.
Until she met Lin Xinyi.
"you to me"
"It's a surprise in life."
There was finally a ray of sunshine on Belmode's gloomy cheeks:
"Actually, I'm not very familiar with your parents."
"I just remember that they were one of the many victims of the Karasuma family."
"And when the drug experiment finally succeeded on me, your parents, as well as other available relatives of the Karasuma family, had been almost consumed by the organization."
"I thought I would never have 'relatives' again."
She meant the word "relatives" very strongly.
And Karasuma Renye, her biological grandfather, was obviously not counted among her "relatives".
On the contrary, it was Lin Xinyi, a relative whose bloodline was so far away that he was not of the same race, who became the last comfort in Belmod's heart.
"I discovered it by accident 12 years ago."
"In the Karasuma family that has been wiped out, there is actually a distant relative's child who accidentally escaped the organized manhunt and survived in the orphanage."
"That kid is you, boy."
Belmode quietly reached out and touched Lin Xinyi's cheek.
She gently stroked his face and stared into his eyes passionately:
"You are my last relative in this world."
"So I found you quietly."
"It was very selfish to bring you back to me."
Belmode adopted "Lin Xinyi" who had nothing to do with the organization. In fact, he cut off his chance to have a normal life and dragged him into a pit of fire.
But Lin Xinyi can feel it
Belmod must have been very lonely at that time.
She lost all her family members and survived as a tool of the organization.
So when she saw that someone like him still existed in the world, she felt like she saw a life-saving driftwood in the vast sea of suffering, and couldn't wait to "embrace" it.
"Please forgive me."
Belmod slowly moved the hand caressing Lin Xinyi's cheek down, gently hooked his neck, and threw himself into his arms.
This time Lin Xinyi did not avoid it.
He gently held the somewhat pitiful witch lady in his arms, and murmured with a complicated expression, not knowing how to comfort her.
In the end, Lin Xinyi just shouted:
"sister"
Then there was a long silence.
"What's wrong?" Belmod raised his head from his arms.
She was sensitively aware that something was wrong with Lin Xinyi's silence.
Looking at his expression again, it was as if he had something to say but was hesitant about how to say it.
"Whatever you want to say, just say it."
Belmode encouraged.
"Well" Lin Xinyi pondered for a while.
He lowered his head and looked at the beautiful young girl-like face in his arms, and finally couldn't help but ask:
"It suddenly occurred to me that Karasuma Renye is 140 years old now."
"If you are his granddaughter, then you..."
Before Japan rolled up, its fertility rate was not that low, and there was no widespread late marriage and late childbearing.
Even if we are more conservative, we should pass it down to one generation every 30 years.
If grandpa is 140 years old, this granddaughter must be 80 no matter what, right?
It seems that the "grandmother" he called before was absolutely correct.
Judging from her age, this "grandmother" is really accurate.
"You" Belmod's mouth twitched.
Lin Xinyi's strange attention was directed to the crooked area, and she forgot about the pain caused by recalling the past.
All I can do is be angry:
"asshole!"
"I'm not 80 years old!!"
"Because Renya Karasuma is still giving birth to children in his 70s!!"
Rich people have a lot of fun and take good care of their health.
Often, even at a very old age, I can still be wild with youth, and a pear tree can overwhelm the begonias.
"Eighteen-year-old bride and eighty-year old man, pale hair and red makeup". This has been a normal phenomenon since ancient times.
And Renya Karasuma is still able to have children in her seventies and eighties.
For men, although this is strange, it is not impossible.
The famous general Zhong Hui during the Three Kingdoms period is the descendant of his father, Mr. Zhong Yao, who was a martyr in his twilight years and had great ambitions.
Since Belmode said that his father was born after Renye Karasuma was 70 years old.
Then if her father is not dead now, he will be less than 70 years old.
Based on this calculation, Belmod's own age should be between 40 and 50 years old.
She is actually not much older than her best friend Aunt Yukiko.
It turned out not to be grandma.
"It's auntie." Lin Xinyi sighed softly.
But he suddenly thought: "That's not right."
Belmod is not too old, but he is senior!
She is the granddaughter of Renya Karasuma.
And if the ancestors of "Lin Xinyi" had reproduced normally, then his lineage should have been passed down to at least 4 generations in the past 140 years.
Considering that Japan was still in the era of early marriage and early childbearing in the past, most people started getting married and having children at the age of 20.
According to this calculation, 140 years is enough for at least 6 generations.
In this case, let's talk about seniority.
"What should I call you?"
Lin Xinyi himself was a little dizzy:
"Great-grandmother or great-grandmother?"
Belmode: "."
The veins on her forehead popped out, and the muscles on her body were so tense that she almost hugged her unconsciously, suffocating Lin Xinyi to death in her arms:
"Shut up--"
"You can only call me 'sister'!"
