The "miracle doctor" that Sonozaki Wakana mentioned, who rose to fame in high society.
All the characteristics, all the descriptions, all the actions, ultimately point to the same person, like rivers flowing into the sea—Isaka Shinkurou.
This person, in the mainstream medical community of Fengdu, once enjoyed the highest reputation as a genius surgeon, and was adorned with countless accolades.
However, beneath his glamorous exterior, he harbored an almost pathological, fanatical obsession with the forbidden Gaia Memory.
"Someone who dares to set their sights on me, attempting to seize the 'lesions' hidden deep within the body of the city that exist under my protection?"
Su Chen tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, making a very rhythmic sound.
A chilling glint, as cold as polar ice, flashed suddenly in his eyes, making the surrounding air seem to freeze.
He has already made his decision.
He wanted to personally "visit" the infamous Dr. Isaka.
He also took the opportunity to thoroughly and deeply "disinfect" this city, which he considered his own.
Just as Su Chen had made up his mind to kill and made this decision,
Communication requests from the core laboratory were also promptly routed into his system.
The good news he had been waiting for, one that could change the course of the battle, finally arrived.
"Reporting to the president."
Even in Izna's usually calm and even electronic synthesized voice, there was now a barely perceptible slight fluctuation in tone, almost like excitement.
"With the support of the infinitely vast computing resources of the Ark satellite, the ultimate enhanced form that perfectly integrates all the characteristics of the 'weapon memory' and the core destruction data of the 'destructive mammoth'—the 'Shining Assault Locust Program Ascension Key'—has successfully completed the final stability test of all stages."
"Officially announced: Development successful!"
As Izzy finished her report, a brand-new key with a striking design was slowly rotating on the holographic screen in front of Su Chen.
Its entire body presents a cold, hard, and heavy metallic texture, with intricate and precise gold patterns engraved on the surface.
A faint, ominous yet powerful dark red light continuously overflowed and flowed from the gaps and core of the key, as if it contained a terrifying power capable of tearing everything apart.
This is a perfect weapon.
An ultimate blade, born for slaughter and judgment, has finally been forged.
And a sacrifice that is both substantial and foolish enough to be used as a "testing ground".
At that very moment, he deliberately extended his neck before the newly drawn blade.
The gears of fate have begun to turn faster.
Chapter 62 Shinkuro Isaka's Clinic, A Vengeance's Elegy
Based on the precise location provided by Izzy, Su Chen drove directly to the private clinic of Isaka Shinkuro in the old town of Fuuto without even bothering to disguise himself.
The old town of Futo retains many traces of the Showa era.
The houses are low, the walls are mottled, and there is a slightly desolate atmosphere in the air that belongs to the old days.
Su Chen drove his black sedan through the narrow streets and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous two-story building.
From the outside, it looks like an ordinary clinic that's been around for a while and is full of Showa-era atmosphere.
The paint on the signboard has peeled off, revealing the wood grain underneath.
The windows were covered with frosted window film, making it impossible to see what was inside.
If it weren't for the precise location provided by Izzy, probably no one would have guessed that this place was a nest of dangerous admixtures.
Su Chen pushed open the car door and got out.
He glanced up at the clinic's sign, his eyes calm and unwavering.
It seems that they already knew everything they were about to face.
He strolled forward and pushed open the slightly worn wooden door of the clinic.
"Squeak-"
A slight scraping sound was heard.
Immediately afterwards, a strange smell, a mixture of disinfectant, chemicals, and a faint, almost imperceptible odor of blood, wafted over.
The disinfectant smelled somewhat pungent, as if trying to mask something.
The smell of chemical agents is more complex, carrying a cold, artificial quality.
The faint smell of blood, though faint, clung to my nostrils like a maggot, suggesting that this place was far more complex than it appeared on the surface.
The clinic was eerily empty inside.
There were no patients as expected, nor were there any busy nurses.
There was only deathly silence.
Shinkuro Isaka, the refined-looking man in a white lab coat and gold-rimmed glasses, was sitting alone behind his desk.
Before him lay a thick medical book, but his fingers rested lightly on the pages without turning them.
His gaze, through the lenses of his gold-rimmed glasses, was fixed on Su Chen at the door, as if he had already anticipated Su Chen's arrival.
"Welcome, Mr. Su Chen, President of Zero One Technology."
He smiled and spoke gently, as if receiving a patient who had made a long-awaited appointment.
He slowly closed the book in front of him, then adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose.
Behind the glasses, however, the eyes, illuminated by the light, gleamed with a sickly, excited light.
It's the kind of fervor a hunter feels when he sees his prey, or the kind of fervor a believer feels before a "miracle" occurs.
"197 I've been waiting for you."
His tone was resolute, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor—a sign of extreme excitement.
"is it?"
Su Chen's expression remained unchanged.
He walked forward calmly, pulled out the chair opposite Isaka Shinkuro's desk, and sat down leisurely.
It was as if they were dealing not with a potential dangerous individual, but with an ordinary business partner.
"I thought you would choose to run away."
Su Chen's voice was calm, yet it carried a knowing understanding that saw through everything.
"Run away? Heh..."
Dr. Isaka let out a low laugh.
Laughter echoed in the empty clinic, sounding particularly eerie.
He shook his head, as if he had heard something extremely ridiculous.
Why should I run away?
He countered with a question, leaning slightly forward, his eyes burning with even greater fervor.
"You're the one who should be afraid."
“You, President Su Chen, and Zero One Technology behind you, have no respect whatsoever for those treasures that carry the ‘memory of Earth’.”
"They are carrying out 'hunting' and 'plundering' with impunity!"
His voice suddenly rose, filled with a strong sense of accusation.
"In my eyes, this is an unforgivable, the heaviest sin!"
His tone was full of condemnation of Su Chen, as if he were the one standing on the moral high ground, on the side of justice.
Those eyes, peering through the lenses, were fixed on Su Chen, as if they wanted to nail him to the cross of sin.
"Today, I will stand trial for you on behalf of the Earth."
Shinkuro Isaka slowly stood up.
His movements were elegant, and the hem of his white coat swayed slightly with his movements.
He took out a memory chip from his pocket.
The memory chip was a pure sky blue color, with a strange luster flowing across its surface, as if it contained the vast power of the sky and the ocean.
The powerful Gaia Memory!
【Weather!】
An electronic sound effect rang out, carrying a sense of majesty that seemed to control nature.
Blue light emanated from the memory, illuminating Isaka Shinkuro's face, which appeared somewhat distorted with excitement.
Just as he was about to press the start button and complete the transformation.
Loud bang!
The clinic's seemingly sturdy wooden door, as if struck by a raging bull, shattered violently, bursting open with a deafening crash! (bjeg)
Wood chips flying everywhere!
Smoke is everywhere!
"Isaka Mikuruo!!!"
A roar filled with endless hatred and rage, like the howl of a wounded beast, came from outside the broken door frame.
The hatred contained in that voice was almost tangible, causing the air in the clinic to freeze.
A figure, filled with unparalleled rage, stormed in.
Zhaojinglong!
Chief of the Extraordinary Crimes Investigation Division of Fuuto Police Station!
At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, as if they were about to bleed.
His muscles trembled violently from extreme anger.
His jaw was clenched, veins bulging on his forehead, as he stared intently at the man in the white coat inside the clinic.
