I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods

Chapter 97: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes


The document is filled with densely written experiment logs in black ink.

The robust handwriting seems to highlight the writer's unyielding spirit and arrogant heart.

Without looking at the content, others might easily consider the owner of the log to be one of those scientists who cares for the country and its people, a hero who doesn't bow to the powerful.

But only after reading the main text of the log do people realize what kind of a wolf in sheep's clothing the writer really is, a person whose sins would not be redeemed even with a thousand cuts and ten thousand wounds.

[Time: September 19, 2047]

[Recorded by: Biotechnology junior researcher Xie Kang]

[This year marks the tenth anniversary of Biotechnology defeating Chief Airline to become the ruler of Nest City No. 3]

[To commemorate this special year, Biotechnology held a "special recruitment campaign," lifting educational restrictions and recruiting nearly a thousand researchers in the upper, mid, and lower cities within half a year, to demonstrate their magnanimity and spirit of seeking talent]

[But I know, this is nothing but a facade]

[The current head of Biotechnology—Donald VI—is a standard old aristocrat, whose discrimination against the lower class is never hidden in his eyes]

[In the past, the employees he recruited, even if only gatekeepers, were top students from the Top 5 universities. How could such a person hand the employment notice to us, the mere lower class?]

[He's doing this just to appease the rising rebellious activities in the city at the time, to resolve conflicts between different classes... once things calm down, us little nobodies will just roll back to where we came from... salary? Don't even think about it]

[Honestly, for ordinary lower-class people, this opportunity is quite good. Even if they don't get paid, they can broaden their horizons in the company, and maybe even mooch some free lunch boxes...]

[Anyway, for most people, becoming a regular employee of the company is an unattainable thing. Instead of striving for an impossible goal, it's better to just muddle through it to live a bit more comfortably... and in fact, most people do exactly that]

[But I don't think like this]

[Becoming part of the company means a lifetime of security, even if it requires overtime like 007, it's better than wrestling in the mud with beggars. I have experienced the hardest and most tiring life, I don't want to be that low-class hoodwink anymore, I need to climb up!]

[And now, there's an opportunity right in front of me]

[Theoretically speaking, we interns with no education or research achievements can't be regularized]

[But if... I say if... if we can successfully apply for a project during the internship period, have investment, then there would be an opportunity for regularization]

[And in my hands, there happens to be something that could be called a project]

["The possibility of immortality"]

[Two years ago, my father disappeared in a mine cave in Midtown District... later when I found him, he had already turned into an indescribable lump of flesh]

[But this has little impact, anyway, he never fulfilled his obligation to support me since childhood, ran away as soon as he knew my mother was pregnant, and never contacted me later, so if he's dead, let him be dead]

[I'm more concerned about what he brought out]

[From his cortex, I extracted some broken memories and hence discovered this "Death Domain Space" located beneath the mine—Yangshan Town]

[Through some murals and notes, I learned about the origin of the entire town]

[Who could believe that here, such an inconspicuous small town, it actually buried an immortal King!]

[If I can unlock the secret of immortality here, I would not only gain the ability to live forever, but could also seize the opportunity to become a top researcher, even join the management... such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could I miss it?]

[So, I managed to cut some lumps from my father's body and used this stuff to publish a research paper, and applied to establish a research team in the company]

[The company agreed... which is expected, after all, the money they invested in me is just a drop in the ocean for the entire company, "small change" that the management can squander casually. And if I succeed, the gains would obviously far exceed what the company paid]

[Just like that, my experiment group was established, and I constructed my base in Yangshan Town]

[Next, it's time to find experiment subjects...]

[I heard lately about the uproarious matter of the "Kamosi Command," some miners are desperately trying to extend their lifespan, willing to pay all their money for it... hmm, maybe I can make use of them]

...

[Experiment Log 2]

[Time: January 26, 2048]

[Recorded by: Biotechnology junior researcher Xie Kang]

[My plan succeeded]

[A week ago, I disguised myself as a city "Shaman," found a certain foreman, and tricked him saying that there was a sacrificial method in the mine above Yangshan Town that could extend life]

[As long as enough animal viscera are offered and the fungus blankets grow in the mine passage, filled with pink fog, they could escape the fate of shortened life]

[Honestly, this lie was quite lame, even I almost didn't believe it... but the lower-class workers are simply foolish, a little coaxing and they believed it all]

[Then, they rushed into the mine with over a dozen tons of animal viscera]

[Watching them walk into this one-way path, one of my assistants... or rather student, seemed to have some sympathy, saying that these people are innocent pitiful people, begged me to let them go]

[Let them go? Ridiculous, they are hard-found experiment subjects, how could I let them go?]

[Moreover, living in the lower class, there's no such thing as innocence or not]

[Mixing in Nest City, killing is not a crime, deceit is not a crime, stepping over people's bottom lines isn't called a crime either, only weakness, only poverty is the only sin!]

[Weakness and greed are their original sins, no need to discuss, dying here is their deserved end]

[I'm only concerned about when those viscera will fully awaken, other than that, nothing else matters]

[...]

[Experiment Log 3]

[Time: April 26, 2049]

[Recorded by: Biotechnology intermediate researcher Xie Kang]

[After the formation of fungus blankets and pink fog, its digestion efficiency increased several times, devouring 914 miners within several months]

[Though a very few miners hid by becoming "resentful corpses" and escaped the devouring, generally speaking, this stage of the experiment was considered successful]

[Using those people's worthless lives, I took the chance to write thirteen research papers, one of which even won an award, and I myself was promoted to an intermediate researcher, receiving a monthly salary of 20,000 Silver Cannon]

[That's why they always say "one general achieves success through the skeletons of countless others," I really should thank those miners, without their contributions, who knows where I'd be wasting time now]

[However, one thing I didn't report to my superiors is... our current experiment indeed encountered a minor bottleneck]

[That is... the lives of ordinary miners can no longer satisfy its appetite]
