RBCT Chapter 199 Mother?
Chapter 199 Mother?
"The eggs of the Tian Sha insect are native to southern Xinjiang and cannot be artificially bred in the wild. However, we recently made a technological breakthrough and found a way to artificially breed them on a large scale in a low-temperature environment."
As Kuroba spoke, he slowly walked into the sterile workshop.
Researchers in full protective gear along the way stopped what they were doing, bowed deeply, and showed solemn respect when they saw the silver insignia on her chest that belonged only to the bishop.
She casually picked up an insect egg from the temperature-controlled rack, which was placed in a petri dish.
He gently touched the slightly pulsating dark red insect egg through the transparent container with his fingertip, explaining in a calm tone:
"These artificially bred insect eggs are just as viable and infectious as the wild species, and are specifically used for..."
She turned her head and glanced at Jiang Ling beside her out of the corner of her eye. She lowered her voice and said with a hint of sarcasm, "...It's specifically designed to deal with investigators and undercover spies like you. Recently, many pharmaceutical companies and intelligence agencies have infiltrated the island to try and steal our core achievements... Unfortunately, most of the people they sent ended up being parasitized and controlled by the insect eggs, and instead became pawns for us to gather intelligence from the opposite side."
"The value of these insect eggs is immeasurable. If we can get the world's richest and most powerful people to take them and completely control their will, there will never be another economic crisis or war in the world."
"Do you have any buyer information? Give it to me," Jiang Ling said, extending her hand.
Black Feather's eyes turned icy, he snorted coldly, said nothing more, and turned to walk into the main control room next door.
Then, he unplugged an encrypted USB drive and casually tossed it to Jiang Ling, his tone still icy:
"Here's what you wanted... transaction records from the last three months."
Ha, how could I possibly give you anything real?
Jiang Ling: ……
Without a word, he grabbed Hei Yu by the back of her collar, ignoring her screams, and dragged the cold, black-haired little girl into the server room.
After confirming that the place was empty and there were no surveillance devices inside.
He raised his hand and threw a punch, which landed precisely on Hei Yu's soft, fleshy belly.
Just like when she first met Li Meiyu—this punch sent the petite, black-haired little girl sprawling like a boiled shrimp, her body arching violently, a mixture of acid and muffled groans escaping from her throat.
"Ugh—!"
Kuroba's pupils dilated in shock, and he stammered, "You...you...why did you hit me...?"
"You lying woman, I told you I'm an extraordinary being!"
Jiang Ling wouldn't show her any mercy just because she has the same face as Li Meiyu.
Even if the real Li Meiyu came and dared to lie to him, he would still teach her a lesson without mercy, only without using his fists, but with... verbal instruction.
Kuroba's beautiful almond-shaped eyes, which were exactly like Miu's, widened in surprise.
He gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly, "Damn bastard!"
Kuroba: ꐦ≖≖
You can keep your complaints to yourself.
She clutched her aching lower abdomen, grimacing, and obediently returned to the control panel to copy a complete set of real buyer data.
Then, he slammed the USB drive into Jiang Ling's arms.
"You're smart to know what's good for you."
Jiang Ling weighed the USB drive in her hand and nodded in satisfaction.
Now, at least we can finally give Ruyu's wife an explanation.
He glanced around the entire processing area, making sure nothing was missed, then gestured with his chin and urged:
"Let's go to the next floor."
"Hmph... I know." Kuroba clutched his still throbbing stomach and replied coldly, "The floor plan is in your hands. Just tell me where you want to go, stop wasting time."
As expected of a little cake from the same lineage as Miyu, its delicate moaning sound is as melodious as a fairy's, making one want to tear it apart...
Jiang Ling looked down and flipped through the floor plan in her hand. When her eyes swept over one of the marked areas, her brows furrowed.
"This [Renal Red Extraction Center]... take me there."
As expected of the Kujo family... to hide such filthy things in the depths of this remote island in the far north where even electrical signals can be blocked. No wonder the 749 Bureau and Alan's intelligence system have been investigating for so long without finding a single core clue.
Upon hearing this, Kuroba immediately sneered, slightly raising his chin to reveal a hint of bishop arrogance:
"This is the core area of the base, where the key raw materials for producing longevity drugs are produced. Do you think I'd take you there?"
Jiang Ling raised her fist and punched Hei Yu in the abdomen again.
"vomit--!"
"Are you going or not?" Jiang Ling asked in a flat tone, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
"No...impossible...I would never betray the Pope...betray the Church...ugh—!"
Kuroba was trembling with pain, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.
"Are you going or not?" Another punch lands, a blow to the stomach!
"..."
"Going or not?! Huh? Oh my god—"
Jiang Ling's voice suddenly rose a few decibels, and he raised his fist again, striking her lower abdomen with a moderate weight.
"Mmm...mmm...uh...ah...uh..."
"Waaah! Go... I'll take you... Stop hitting me, waaaah!"
A few punches followed.
The once aloof and arrogant little bishop was now beaten so badly that she burst into tears, tears streaming down her chubby cheeks.
In a daze, she did resemble Miu somewhat.
Jiang Ling sighed.
As expected of someone from the Yu generation, even when she cries, she has that delicate look of being both angry and aggrieved.
Sure enough, the best way to deal with this arrogant little brat is to use a heavy punch. Even the toughest little girl will turn into a crybaby after two punches.
With red eyes and sobbing, she covered her slightly aching and strangely feeling lower abdomen, and walked ahead, leading Jiang Ling to the independent factory area on the other side of the base.
Inside the huge sterile workshop.
Hundreds of biological cultivation chambers are neatly arranged, each containing a live kidney.
Numerous transparent tubes connect to it, and a deep red liquid flows slowly along the tubes.
It flows into the giant central storage tank.
"This is the kidney red extraction factory," Kuroba said through gritted teeth, her voice still nasal and tearful.
"Every kidney here was cultivated using stem cell-directed techniques..."
"Stem cell cultivation?" Jiang Ling was slightly taken aback.
He originally thought that, given the nature of the Kujo family, this place would be a human slaughterhouse where organs are harvested from living people.
I never expected it to be stem cell cultivation?
He closed his eyes, and his Observation Haki spread out like a tide, covering the entire workshop.
When he sensed the subtle life fluctuations and gene sequences inside those kidneys.
His brows furrowed instantly.
"Are you sure these were all grown from stem cells?"
"certainly."
Kuroba nodded without hesitation, his tone firm: "The official reports from the conglomerate and the reports to the patriarch clearly state that it is targeted stem cell cultivation."
She paused, then added defiantly, "Hmph... As for the specific cultivation process and technical details, I don't need to tell you, and I certainly won't give you any information!"
Jiang Ling looked up at her, a cold smile curving her lips: "Are you sure you're not lying?"
"I don't."
Kuroba met his gaze, nodded without hesitation, and put her hands on her hips:
"The Church of Inu worships Lord Indra and has always valued legitimate biotechnology research and development. Harvesting organs from living people is absolutely impossible for them!"
At the same time, Jiang Ling received clear feedback from her [Mind Reading] system—
Kuroba was not lying.
Jiang Ling's heart sank.
In other words, even the bishop of this base was kept in the dark?
He suppressed the chill and anger surging within him, lowered his head again to flip through the floor plan, his fingertip pointing to the largest marked area on the second floor, his tone leaving no room for argument:
"Take me to this incubation room."
Kuroba bit her lip, not daring to say anything more, and turned to lead him to the second floor.
We arrived at the core cultivation area on the second floor.
Through the huge floor-to-ceiling explosion-proof glass, what comes into view are rows of giant glass culture tanks that seem to stretch as far as the eye can see.
The jar was filled with a pale blue nutrient solution, in which undeveloped fetuses floated quietly, connected by fine tubes, swaying gently with the flow of the nutrient solution.
click-
A piercing metallic clang rang out.
Jiang Ling gripped the stainless steel railing in front of her tightly.
He twisted and deformed the hard alloy by squeezing it.
His eyes swirled with a murderous intent that almost solidified into a tangible force. His teeth clenched so tightly they cracked, and he forced out a chilling curse:
"A bunch of beasts... Kujou Ryou, you're a complete and utter beast! I'll fuck your mother..."
Kuroba stood to the side, a sneer playing on his lips.
"What, you don't actually think that the raw materials for those kidney stones were taken from these children, do you?"
"I'm telling you, it's impossible."
She raised her chin, her gaze sweeping over the culture jars, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes:
"Most of these embryos are the product of artificial insemination. Some are test-tube babies commissioned by infertile couples around the world, and the rest... are mostly clones used as nutrients... using the Kujo family's gene bank, that is... my brothers and sisters. However, these clones are processed into nutrients at the placental stage, so from a physiological point of view, they are not real people at all."
That's enough.
Jiang Ling's face was so dark it could drip water, and she interrupted her.
Kuroba pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.
She thought to herself:
Those brothers and sisters, nurtured for three or four months, would be ground into nutrient solution to provide blood and energy for Lord Indra. But compared to me, and that unseen master vessel, they were already quite fortunate.
At least they don't have to experience the suffering of this world, they don't have to be used as tools, and their lives end before their souls are fully formed, when they are still just a lump of flesh and blood.
This is already a very good ending.

[Reward: Ultimate Item Upgrade Card (This item can be upgraded a second time using the system reward)]
Jiang Ling glanced at the three options and chose option three without hesitation.
Last time, a regular item upgrade card unlocked the Cardboard Knight Headgear to Emperor Mode. How far can this ultimate upgrade card take this equipment?
He was actually looking forward to it.
After pondering for a long time, Jiang Ling said, "Now, take me to the lowest level of the base."
"The lowest level?"
Kuroba frowned instantly, his tone puzzled:
"There are only abandoned old interrogation rooms there, places used to interrogate intelligence dealers and spies. They've been closed for a long time, there's nothing to see..."
"Take me there."
Jiang Ling's tone left no room for negotiation.
His gaze seemed to linger on her soft, round belly, just like Li Meiyu's, and he added with a half-smile:
"Or do you want to get punched by me again?"
It feels so good to pound that chubby little belly!
Kuroba shivered inexplicably, instinctively shrinking back in his stomach, and gritted his teeth, saying resentfully, "Fine! I got it! I'm leaving!"
The two walked down the corridor.
The believers they encountered along the way all bowed respectfully, their eyes filled with awe and support as they looked at Kuroba.
Hei Yu slightly raised his chin, nodding arrogantly in response to each nod, and as he walked, he added a touch of smugness as he muttered to Jiang Ling:
"In this base, everyone except the patriarch respects and obeys me. Every project and every process in the base has to go through me. There's nothing I don't know..."
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them had already reached the end of the corridor at the bottom floor.
Jiang Ling bent down and reached out to lift the seemingly inconspicuous carpet in the corner.
A perfectly sealed alloy hidden door, flush with the ground, was suddenly revealed underneath.
He turned his head, looked at Kuroba expressionlessly, and spoke calmly:
"Do you know what's down there?"
"Huh?"
Hei Yu's arrogant expression froze instantly. She leaned forward, staring at the hidden door she had never seen before. Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed tightly, and she murmured in disbelief:
"Why is there a door here?"
Jiang Ling: "Let's go downstairs."
"Wait! Let me check the registration information for this area first—"
Hei Yu struggled frantically, but was interrupted by Jiang Ling.
"Don't bother, you won't find it."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Ling swiftly hoisted the petite woman onto his shoulder, ignoring her punches, kicks, and barrage of angry curses, and stepped through the hidden door.
Black Feather's fist landed on his solid back, but it was like a dragonfly skimming the water, having no effect whatsoever.
The stairs wound their way down, and it took a long time to reach the end.
A huge underground cavern suddenly unfolded before them, with countless semi-transparent giant semi-circular domes scattered about. Inside the domes, light and shadow flickered, and pipes crisscrossed. From a distance, it looked like a highly sophisticated, closed artificial ecosystem from a science fiction work, exuding a cold and eerie sense of technology.
Da da da—
The crisp sound of footsteps came from the glass walkway not far away.
Two women dressed in standard black maid uniforms walked side by side, their clothes clinging to their figures and accentuating their slender figures.
"Sister Lin, please guide me from now on... This is my first time being a 'mother,' and I have a lot to learn from you." The woman, with healthy honey-colored skin, smiled kindly, her tone tinged with a hint of awkward anticipation.
"Hehe, you're too kind, Xiao Hei."
The fair-skinned blonde woman smiled gently, her tone both gentle and somewhat humble:
"You're naturally talented, and with such a strong 'maternal' instinct, it won't be long before you rise from deputy to two-star and become a fully-fledged 'Madam'."
"Mom...? Mom...! Mom..."
Upon hearing those two words...
Kuroba's struggling movements suddenly froze, and his eyes became blank.
Then, he uncontrollably clutched his head with both hands, his knuckles turning white from the force.
"It hurts...my head hurts so much...ugh—ah!"
The sudden, intense headache made her let out a painful howl.
The sharp sound shattered the tranquility of the underground cavern and attracted the attention of the two "mothers" on the walkway.
The two turned around at the same time, their gazes falling on Jiang Ling and the black feather curled up in pain on his shoulder.
The smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by shock and wariness.
"Who are you...?"
