Chapter 198 I'm a Respectable Person, and You're Talking to Me About This?
After a morning exercise with Tifa, Hakuto kissed her on the exhausted Tifa's lips and went to make her breakfast. After a while, Tifa regained some strength and came out.
She sat cross-legged on the living room sofa, looking at Hakuto in the kitchen with some distress, 'If only he would give up on releasing the virus.'
Tifa turned on the TV to watch the news. As a responsible police officer, she was always concerned with the daily news. But upon seeing a morning news report, her expression instantly turned ugly.
"Hakuto, come out here. I have something to ask you."
Tifa took a deep breath and called out to Hakuto in the kitchen, a hint of anger in her voice.
Hakuto came out of the kitchen and looked at Tifa. "What is it, my dear Tifa?"
"Hakuto, did you release a biochemical virus behind my back?"
Tifa had been thinking of stopping Hakuto from releasing the virus. But she hadn't expected to wake up this morning, turn on the TV, and see news of a biochemical virus outbreak in Raccoon City.
Seeing the walking corpses on the screen, Tifa became angry. She thought that Hakuto had left first last night, but she had been the one to reach Hell's Kitchen first. Could he have gone to release the virus?
"I released a biochemical virus? Not yet. I was with you the whole time."
Hakuto was also confused. He hadn't released any virus yet. How could he have released one?
"Are you sure it wasn't you?"
Looking at Hakuto's puzzled expression, Tifa also began to doubt, 'Had I mistaken him? Did Hakuto really not release the virus?'
"Tifa, I won't deny things I've done. And I don't lie to girls I like. So, do you believe me when I say I haven't acted yet?"
Tifa looked at Hakuto's serious face. A hint of panic suddenly arose in her heart.
"Sorry, Hakuto. The news is reporting a biochemical virus outbreak in Raccoon City. And this virus is similar to the one that broke out in Tokonosu City, Japan. The dead bodies are moving."
"What the f***?"
Hakuto immediately looked at the news. He saw the news report about Raccoon City. Looking at the zombies on the screen, Hakuto's expression instantly stiffened.
[Raccoon City? That's where Resident Evil started? Was there a T-virus leak at the Umbrella Corporation's Hive? Damn. This world even incorporates Resident Evil. I remember that at the end of the Resident Evil movies, only over 4,000 people are left alive in the world.]
Seeing Hakuto's message, all the diary copy holders immediately became unsettled.
'Only 4,000 people left in the world?'
[The higher-ups at Umbrella Corporation are all hiding in the Hive, hibernating. They plan to use the T-virus to cleanse the world. After everyone in the world is dead, they'll come out of their hibernation pods and take over the world? Is their brains filled with shit? After everyone in the world is dead, who will they rule? Do they think clones will suffice?]
[Damn it. These Umbrella people are insane. No, I have to stop them... Wait. Maybe I don't need to stop them right away. Since it's not my doing, why not let the Americans die off first? Then I'll stop it. Wouldn't that be great? Whether it's those gangsters, the wealthy conglomerates and politicians, if they all die, that's a good thing. Then I'll release the 'Them' virus. Maybe with both working together, they'll die even faster.]
Tifa stared wide-eyed at Hakuto, 'How could he be so cold-blooded?'
[Uh, my Miss Yerusalem is looking at me. Her eyes are full of disbelief. Could she be guessing what I'm thinking? But even if I don't release the 'Them' virus, America is still doomed. And they're doing it to themselves. So even Tifa can't blame me for this, right?]
Tifa threw herself onto Hakuto and bit him hard.
Hakuto was dumbfounded, 'What was this Miss Yerusalem thinking now?'
"Miss Tifa, why did you bite me for no reason? Can you give me an explanation?"
"Even if this has nothing to do with you, you're definitely thinking about releasing that virus you're carrying as well, right?"
Hakuto: "..."
[They're going to die anyway. Why not let me get some mission credit? Otherwise, I can't fulfill my promise to Hastalyk. Dear Tifa, you wouldn't want to see something happen to me, right?]
Tifa's body stiffened slightly. Then she looked at Hakuto, a pleading tone in her voice. "Hakuto, could you confine the virus to just Raccoon City? You can do that, right?"
"Tifa, your request..."
"If you agree, I'll go to Japan with you."
Hakuto had been about to refuse, but Tifa's words made it hard for him to say no.
"Well..."
"If you don't agree, I'll never see you again."
Tifa bit her lip and said to Hakuto. He frowned slightly. He didn't like being threatened.
"Tifa, I hate threats. Especially when you threaten me with yourself."
[Damn it. Tifa is actually threatening me for the sake of those useless bastards. I really want to kill all those bastards.]
Tifa was also startled. Then she immediately kissed Hakuto.
"Sorry, Hakuto. I apologize for what I just said. Forgive me. Just this once. Let me be willful just this once."
Hakuto looked at Tifa's pitifully beautiful face. His heart of stone softened slightly. He looked at her and said, "I can't promise you. But for your sake, I'll try my best to control the spread of the virus. But only the virus I release. The one that broke out in Raccoon City is not my responsibility."
Tifa looked at Hakuto. "I can agree to any way of playing."
Hakuto: ???
'I'm a respectable person, and you're talking to me about this? Are you looking down on me?'
"Once isn't enough. Three times."
