章 61: Chapter 61 - Veronica Virus and Kayu Senju

In the Tokyo region, a shocking event occurred the other day when the Legacy of the Seven Stars appeared and was stolen. In order to recover the Legacy of the Seven Stars, the entire Tokyo region's police force was mobilized.

Inside a room, Tina learned through Kohina Hiroku why this happened. According to Kohina Hiroku, her father had tried to compete for the Legacy of the Seven Stars and summon a Stage 5 Gastrea. However, her father was destroyed by Liu Yuan before he could act.

Although she knew about her father's plan, the exact reasons were unclear.

"Is that so?" Tina began to think of countermeasures. If, according to known intelligence, the Legacy of the Seven Stars could summon a Stage 5 Gastrea, the method was still unknown.

"Wait!!!"

She vaguely had a bad feeling as she recalled the words of the woman in Resident Evil Veronica, who was one day away from fusing the perfect virus.

"Tina, the person who created the viruses in you is a genius. You have talents far beyond mine, but sadly, you cannot control them. I will devour you today and make you a part of me."

She was then taken out by Tina and Chris with a bazooka.

Recalling further back, the word 'creation' was mentioned several times for the Gastrea virus.

The source of the T-virus, on the other hand, she knew through Umbrella's existing information, came from 'a plant of a certain tribe in Africa.'

She had once asked Liu Yuan in detail if everything in the game could be taken seriously. Liu Yuan made it clear that everything experienced within the game could be taken as a real occurrence, and that non-artificial creatures would never say the word 'creation.' If the Gastrea virus is created, then the Gastrea virus of the Zodiac Stage V must also be artificially created.

Humans, experiments with humans, experimental subjects destroying humans, and then transferring the hatred to the experimental subjects?

The more Tina thought about it, the more likely it seemed. To verify the possibility, she decided she had to seize the Legacy of the Seven Stars herself.

"Little Hina, accompany me to fight for the Legacy of the Seven Stars."

Currently, Tina had become an internationally wanted criminal, especially in the Tokyo area, where her bounty was terrifyingly high. It didn't matter though, as she played more and more Resident Evil, she became more skilled at mastering the Perfect Mold viruses in her body.

These viruses couldn't repel or fuse the Gastrea virus, but together they were powerful enough for her to deal with the enemies in the Tokyo area.

Outside of the city, the police and the Initiates were searching for the Legacy of the Seven Stars. Seitenshi had promised a large prize for finding it, and a very sizable amount of money if they found it together.

Tina and Kohina Hiroku entered the forest, searching around when they suddenly heard violent shaking behind them and shrieking voices.

"Run!!!"

"It's Stage 4!!!"

Stage four Gastreas were no longer something that could be taken out by ordinary human power. Tina glanced at the weapons in her backpack. When she cleared the second generation, she obtained Ada's love bazooka and three shells.

The introduction stated it had the ability to kill Stage 4 in one hit, but she was a bit uncertain without having tested it. In that case...

"Here's a thank you..."

Tina recognized the two who ran out as the civilian police duo, Rentaro Satomi and Enju Aihara. They had helped her once before when she was wanted, a favor that should be returned. A bazooka with Ada hickey appeared in Tina's hand. This love bazooka was specially painted by Ada to thank Tina for her help. She preferred it not only because it could kill Stage 4 but also for the sentimental value.

Aim the bazooka! Fire. The orange-colored tail flame strike propelled the warhead towards Stage 4. With a 'boom,' the Gastrea was directly blown up without even ashes left.

"What an unscientific bazooka..." Tina casually put the bazooka away and greeted Kohina Hiroku. "Time to go~"

"Good~"

Tina hadn't forgotten about her mission to find that genius cursed child and take her under her wing. She was lucky enough to follow the popular route of the newest Initiator and found her inside a dilapidated house.

Kayu Senju, a Cursed Child with a Dolphin Factor, had an intelligence of up to 210 IQ. If she were a normal child, she would have a promising future. But as a Cursed Child, her life could end tonight.

"What man?" Kayu Senju raised her gun and aimed it at Tina, who stepped into the light unperturbed. "You're pointing a gun at me."

"What are you!"

"Tina, Tina Sprout."

"It's you..." It was a name she'd heard many times. Her facilitator had said many times that if she caught her, she'd be fed and watered for the rest of her life. She tried to make a move, but before she could, blood ran down her arm.

"You're hurt."

"Back off!"

Tina spoke once more, "You're hurt." She took out the mixed herbs from her backpack. This was one of the rewards she chose this time, the Mixed Herb Formula. According to the formula, as long as you find the corresponding plants, you can make herbs that have a miraculous effect on external injuries. Mixed with a special ratio, it can cure superficial wounds.

"Stop!" Seeing Tina's movement, Kayu Senju was about to shoot. Even if she killed the other party, she would get a substantial bonus. Just by pulling the trigger, she could 'retire.'

But... She took a deep breath, her aura unchanged as she warned, but Tina shook her head. "Kayu, such behavior won't even dry you up by licking you oh~"

With that said, a pistol suddenly appeared in her hand. In a flash, she knocked the gun out of Kayu Senju's hand, then grabbed him.

"Kayu, join me?"

"What?"

She was resisting, but the difference in power prevented her from breaking free.

"Kayu, do you believe in fate? Want to get rid of this fate imposed on us?"

"Fate?"

"You're very smart. If I tell you that the so-called Gastrea virus was created by humans themselves, and that we've just become a contradiction created by their public opinion, and that I have the power to change that, what would you do?"

"Impossible!" Kayu Senju's pupils clenched. If everything Tina said was true, she knew why Tina was wanted all over the world, because she held the truth.

But in reality, it was entirely because her original 'master' was greedy for the special 'virus' that came out of Tina's body and wanted to take it for himself. Because it was hard to explain, he simply issued a wanted notice.

But looking at Kayu Senju, she seemed to be brainstorming strange things, so it's not a big problem! As long as the purpose is accomplished.

In a show of power, Tina took out the Perfect Veronica Virus and stabbed it directly into Kayu Senju's body.

"This is my sincerity. I hope you can join me. My purpose is to make people like us healthy and happy to live under the sun and to make those who wantonly conduct human experiments pay the price."
