"Yes, will you be my heir?"

Chu Ming felt as if he had been hit by a big surprise. Although he had dreamed of becoming a boss before, he was basically working towards becoming the leader of the action team. Is being a team leader as good as being the boss of an organization? His vision was really small before!

"I'm more than willing to do so!" Chu Ming quickly squatted in front of the boss' wheelchair with a sliding tackle, patted his chest and assured the boss, "Don't worry, boss, leave the organization to me! Watch me punch the police, kick the FBI, and lead the organization to the top of the world!"

"..."

"..."

Karasuma Renya twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling a little regretful.

"You're just the heir, and the follow-up will depend on your performance." Karasuma Renya quickly emphasized to him that it would be better not to let him get too cocky all of a sudden.

"That's fine." Chu Ming was not picky at all. He was the heir, so what? "Boss, since I'm your heir, can I order the action team to cooperate with me?"

Chu Ming straightened his back and glanced in Gin's direction with malicious eyes.

Chapter 365: Zhu Fu Jingguang is inside

How could Karasuma Renya not know Chu Ming's little thoughts: "Are you still thinking about letting Gin be your driver?"

"Well, is it okay?" Chu Ming was frightened by Gin's gaze from behind, so he chose to hide beside the BOSS and looked at him expectantly.

"Who was driving when you just came?" Karasuma Renya looked at Chu Ming who was hiding beside him, and tried to persuade him.

"Big brother."

"Then your idea has come true, hasn't it?" Uraya Uesugi was having fun teasing the kid, and there was a hint of smile in his voice.

It seems to make some sense. Chu Ming looked at Gin. It seemed that every time he rode in Gin's car, the driver was either Vodka or Gin himself. It was rare for him to drive himself.

"Okay, let me think about changing my wish..." Chu Ming's legs felt numb as he squatted next to the boss's wheelchair. He changed his posture and finally thought of the main reason for his visit today.

He clearly came here to listen to a story—er, no, to listen to secrets, so why did he get dismissed with just a project title? "Boss, what is the current progress of the resurrection experiment? Can it bring people back to life?"

Karasuma Renya pointed to the bodies on the left that were soaked in potion and said, "Look at those people. Do you see any familiar faces?"

Chu Ming was stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked to the jars. Human bodies were soaked in potions. He couldn't see clearly from a distance, but when he got closer, Chu Ming still found many familiar faces.

Tanaka Ichiro who pushed him down the stairs, Shirakura Yang who was caught by him, who he and Gin killed together, and finally the peripheral members cleaned up the several undercovers at the scene, and even Chu Ming found that in a jar on the inside, it turned out to be Morobushi Kagemitsu! !

Hundreds of biological capsules are filled with young and middle-aged men.

Chu Ming looked at the scene in amazement, turned his head to look at the BOSS, opened his mouth, not knowing what to ask.

Seeing Chu Ming's shocked expression, Karasuma Renye leaned on the back of the wheelchair, his eyes narrowed slightly: "These people were sent here after they died, their brains were removed, and their brains and bodies were soaked in special potions at the same time to maintain cell activity and brain activity.

If the body is severely damaged, the necessary organs or parts will be disassembled and saved for later cloning.

The most important part we are verifying is that if we can keep the cells of a dead body dividing and functioning, and after activating the brain activity, and then transplant it back into the body, can it bring a person back to life?

However, this step has never been successful. If it still cannot be achieved after a year, I will have to change the method. "

Karasuma Renya looked at the supercomputer that occupied the entire wall with a bit of reluctance in his eyes: "I really don't want to take that step..."

He adjusted his mood and turned around to see Chu Ming's confused eyes, as if he didn't understand at all. Karasuma Renya smiled, pressed the communication button on the wheelchair, called a researcher, and said to Chu Ming: "Let's find someone to demonstrate it to you."

"BOSS." A researcher in white sterile clothing walked in from outside.

"Let's do another experiment today." Karasuma Renya picked a body at random, "Let's use that one, number 43-8795. Go to the nutrient chamber and take out his brain."

The researcher responded and walked forward to push the biological capsule containing the body numbered by Karasuma Renya to the laboratory next door.

As the door of the adjacent laboratory closed, the wall separating the two rooms suddenly became transparent, and one could clearly see everything that was happening on the other side.

Chu Ming came closer and observed carefully. Karasuma Renya also got up from his wheelchair and walked to Chu Ming's side to watch with him and explain to him.

"Although some of them are undercover, all the brains are stored in a special nutrition warehouse. Brainwashing waveforms are played at a fixed time every day. If they are really revived, they will be a useful force for the organization. Unfortunately, after so many experiments, there are certain problems every time. The longest person who survived only two months, and then died due to rejection reaction."

Chu Ming watched as the researcher next door skillfully performed a series of operations, opening the skull, releasing the brain, and injecting a special injection to keep the animal alive...

After reading for a long time, Chu Ming didn't understand it at all, but he understood what Karasuma Renya wanted to do.

Karasuma Renya probably only has this year left to live. Plus, since he is in poor health now, he probably won't be able to wait until Drug A matures and rejuvenate him. He can only rely on technology to preserve his brain after he dies and then replace it with a healthy body.

However, the technology is not mature now. Even if one's own brain is placed in one's own body, there will be an immune rejection reaction, not to mention that Karasuma Renya wants to place his brain in a new, younger body in the future.

If he still hasn't succeeded after a year, it would mean that Karasuma Renya's time is up. Seeing that he is looking in the direction of the supercomputer, he probably wants to implant his consciousness into the computer and achieve immortality through the Internet.

However, for Karasuma Renya, this method is probably only a last resort and will only be used when there is really no room for maneuver.

Chu Ming pondered for a long time and felt a little tired of standing, but there was not even a stool in the entire laboratory. He silently shifted his gaze to the wheelchair that the boss had just left behind. He had wanted to try this for a long time, but after all, the boss had just made him the successor, and this was only the first day, so he had to be steady and leave a good impression on the boss.

But now - Chu Ming watched the BOSS take Gin to the computer over there, and didn't know what he was doing at the moment.

Why not take a break now? When the boss was done and was about to turn around, he immediately stood up and gave way.

Action speaks louder than words. Chu Ming touched the high-tech wheelchair and was about to turn it around. Before he could sit down, a metal handcuff popped out from the side of the wheelchair, ready to lock his hands on the wheelchair. Chu Ming reacted quickly and immediately pulled his hands back. At this time, the wheelchair started to make a beeping sound.

Oh my god, why does a wheelchair have to be so high-tech!

Boss and Gin happened to see this scene when they looked over in the direction of the sound.

Chu Ming pursed his lips. This was like a comedy in which a man tried to steal a wheelchair but was discovered. It would be better if he wasn't the protagonist...

The position of heir that he hasn't even warmed up to yet won't be taken away just like that.

Chapter 366: Alternative Immortality

Usually after getting into trouble, Chu Ming always looks innocent, as if he wants to tell everyone with his eyes that he did nothing.

Karasuma Renya looked at Chu Ming standing straight with clear eyes, as if he was being blamed for the wheelchair. He said helplessly, "You were staring at my wheelchair just now. Do you like it? I'll have someone make one according to this standard and send it to you later."

“Isn’t this a bit inappropriate…” Chu Ming tried to be reserved, but he was still attracted by the cool appearance of the wheelchair. He changed the subject and said, “Thank you, Boss. Just have someone send it to Base No. 3~”

Karasuma Renya couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I'll have someone send it over later."

At this moment, the operation next door was also coming to an end. Through the one-way glass, Chu Ming could see that the experimental subject was lying silently on the experimental table, without any sense of being "alive".

The lying experimental subject was an FBI agent that Gin had killed when he was searching the streets for the FBI. His physical fitness was much better than those previous weak experimental subjects. At least after soaking for so long, you could still see his eight-pack abs.

The researcher in charge of the operation pushed open the door next door, took off his dirty sterile suit at the door of the laboratory, and came in to report the results of the operation to his boss.

Now the whole experiment is over, and the BOSS can be awakened at any time as long as he needs it.

Chu Ming was very curious about how a person could be brought back to life through such strange scientific means even though he was clearly dead. He stared at the BOSS with sharp eyes, trying to urge him to hurry up with his eyes.

The BOSS did not hesitate. He cared more about the result than Chu Ming. Upon hearing this, he signaled the researcher to continue the operation to wake the person up.

Perhaps for the sake of safety and identity confidentiality, the BOSS did not go to the next room, but continued to watch the researcher wake up the person through the transparent glass.

The hole in the FBI's head had just been sutured, but there was no blood seeping out, or perhaps there was no blood in his body at all.

The face of the experimental subject who was helped up was sunken, and his skin was tightly attached to his bones. His body organs relied on a special solution to maintain their vitality. The skin on his chest kept rising and falling due to the beating of the heart, and this special solution was transfused throughout his body.

When he stood up, his bones were stiff and he sat up straight, just like a zombie.

Chu Ming looked at the FBI agent who stood up and could hardly see his facial features. His whole body was extremely stiff. He stood there stupidly without any instructions. He couldn't speak or think. His whole body was pale without a trace of redness, and he didn't look like a living person at all.

Is this called resurrection?

This is clearly called corpse driving in ancient China!

Chu Ming instantly lost interest in Karasuma Renya's research. He had imagined all kinds of grand resurrection scenes, but this was the result?

Could it be that the money he and Gin earned from completing missions was spent on things like this?

Oh, BOSS is a prodigal son.

Karasuma Renya was keenly aware of Chu Ming's emotional fluctuations and turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"

Chu Ming pointed at the FBI agent who was standing like a wooden stake through the glass wall and asked his doubts: "Can this be called resurrection? Isn't it a bit... uh, not right?"

"Of course not." Karasuma Renya's eyes darkened. "But after so many years of experiments, the best we can do is sit up and walk around. The last experiment could even make ahhh sounds. I wonder how good 8795 can be."

Chu Ming thought for a long time what 8795 was, and then he realized that this was the number that the FBI had released.

Could this be the 8795th experimental subject in all these years?

Hiss——The BOSS looks so bright and sunny, why is he doing such a crazy thing?

Following the guidance of the researcher next door, 8795 began to slowly move his legs like a puppet, taking one stiff step, the second step, the third step...

Chu Ming stared at the next door without blinking, watching the scene that seemed like teaching a child to walk, and suddenly thought of something, and turned back to ask Karasuma Renya: "Boss, can these bodies be recycled?"

Karasuma Renya uttered a puzzled syllable: "Hmm?"

"That is, if this experimental subject dies due to the reasons you mentioned before, can we take out his brain and put his body back into the water, repeating the cycle and reusing it to maximize the benefits?"

"Of course not. Generally, the death of experimental subjects is due to complications and rejection reactions caused by internal organ disorders. When they die again, their organs are usually necrotic and the cells are severely aged. It will be useless even if they are put back in." Karasuma Renya was amused by Chu Ming's rare naive idea and slowly explained the science to him.

"What about cloning? There is only one body, but isn't it possible to clone a person using cells for experiments?" Chu Ming didn't know much about this, but he had read a lot of science fiction novels in the past.

"No, cloned bodies are more likely to collapse, especially since there is only one brain and it cannot be cloned. Anyway, there is only one chance, so why clone another body?" Karasuma Renye's fingers also rested on the glass wall. Under his thin white skin, the meridians were clearly visible, like mountains and rivers, which also revealed that Karasuma Renye's heart was not as calm as he looked. "There are not enough experimental subjects, and I don't have much time...."

Chu Ming looked at the hand with thin joints and long fingers. It did not have the roughness and wrinkles that are common among old people. It was totally inconsistent with his age.

So it was obvious that he must have taken the same drugs that Lafitte and Vermouth had taken.

So at present, BOSS has three ways out:

One is drugs. I heard that the American drug research group had made some breakthroughs some time ago. Porter has been on a business trip to the United States and hasn't been back for a long time.

The second one should be this resurrection project. The progress is very poor. Chu Ming feels that even if he studies for one year = twenty years, he probably won’t be able to figure out anything.

As for the third one, it is probably the software that was taken back from Itakura Taku before, and it is probably related to the boss's attempt to achieve immortality through the Internet.

Of these three options, Chu Ming felt that only the last one had the greatest possibility of being realized. The first option had a slight possibility of being realized, after all, there were precedents such as Conan, Haibara, Ai, and Shira. Although the chance was one in ten thousand, it might be possible to succeed with some effort. However, the second option -

I really want to persuade the boss to give up. Wouldn't it be better to use the money for more appropriate purposes, such as spending it on him...

Anyway, as long as Conan is alive, one year is longer than ten years. Protecting Conan is to protect the alternative path to immortality.

Chapter 367 I am the heir!!

Chu Ming watched the FBI corpse reconstruction with his boss for a while. The more he watched, the more bored he became. He really didn't know how his boss could watch it with such relish.

It turns out that the life of a BOSS is so boring. No wonder he likes to stare at the surveillance camera when he has nothing to do.

Hiss—Chu Ming suddenly came up with a bad idea.

Conan hasn't grown bigger at this moment, so the BOSS probably has plenty of time to study. Otherwise...he helps Conan?
