"Do you know why the Boss calls the FBI ace Shuichi Akai, who poses the greatest threat to the organization, a silver bullet? Later, this name was vaguely inherited by Ji Xing Lacquer Heart, who directly and indirectly brought huge trouble to the organization many times.
But he didn’t give Ji Xing Qixin a brand new title.”
"Silver bullets, also known as silver bullets, refer to bullets made of pure silver or silver-plated. In popular Gothic novels in the 19th century, they were used to deal with werewolves, vampires, witches and other supernatural creatures, with the ability to kill with one hit.
Effectiveness!”
"Boss, that gentleman, or my adoptive father, is actually a 'vampire'."
In Ji Xing's biological laboratory, Conan lamented to Haibara: "Last night, that woman, Rumi Wakasa, threatened me badly and said this to me after asking for my identity."
"Vampire?" Haiyuan said in surprise: "The kind that feeds on human blood and has an infinite lifespan..."
"It's not the kind of creature in the story. How could such a monster exist in reality?"
Conan recalled what happened last night and continued to imitate Rumi Wakasa's tone.
"It started 50 years ago.
Passionate about collecting art, when he was 90 years old, he acquired his long-held goal, a special gem named Pandora.
It is said that the gem can bring eternal life to people, probably because it contains some special substance that can greatly slow down the aging rate of the human body.
In order to test the effect of gems, he began to collect orphans from all over the world, of different genders, different races, and different ages. At first, there were probably a few hundred, including me (Wakasa Rumi), Sharon (Belmod), and some
Tolisso…
About a year or two later, there were only seven orphans left with him. What he told us was that the others had been adopted. He did not have the ability to take care of so many people when they grew up, but the seven of us, since
This is his child.
Now that I think about it, those other children must have died without knowing it."
Haiyuan Ai's expression changed slightly.
Conan also showed a sad expression.
"We were unknowingly fed Pandora's gem powder in batches. I'm afraid we are the only seven children who can withstand it and have the anti-aging effect."
Is it similar to the shrinking effect of APTX4869? Haihara Aixin said, no, it may be... the root of APTX4869.
"That ignorant childhood was the happiest time in our lives. He taught us how to read and write, and taught us to sing the nursery rhyme "Song of the Seven Sons" together, which made us feel the warmth of home.
But the good times didn't last long. He was getting older and weaker, and he still couldn't find anything in common between the seven of us. He didn't find a safe way to use Pandora, and he started to get anxious.
What's more, even if he finds it, his aging body may not be able to resist Pandora's 'medicine'. How to take the medicine in a gentler way? He thought of filtration and dilution."
"Filter through our seven bodies!"
"Our bodies and blood still have medicinal power, so he took some of our blood and even our bone marrow as an excuse to check our bodies.
After various experiments, when he was 99 years old, he tried for the first time to take a life-extending medicine made mainly from our blood. In the same year, apparently, the wealthy Karasuma Renya passed away."
"It's such a vampire." Haihara Ai whispered: "Using human blood as medicine? No wonder, when I first came into contact with APTX4869 drug information, I always felt something strange. It turned out that the original experimental sample was human blood.
"
Conan nodded: "What happened next became obvious. Renye Karasuma, who had tasted the sweetness, could not get rid of the human blood medicine. He established an organization to study the drug that could completely return him to his youth, while taking the human blood medicine.
Hang on to your life.
The human body's hematopoietic function is not weak. If nutrition is sufficient, the blood of four people can circulate to supply Karasuma Renye's needs. Therefore, at first, the seven children who also did not want Karasuma Renye to die were willing to pay.
Among them, Belmode, who was most suitable for the effects of Pandora, and Wakasa Rumi and Tolisso, who had superior personal talents, were dispatched by him and each became an important cadre of the organization.
The other four people stayed with Karasuma Renye for a long time, taking care of him and providing him with blood."
Having said this, Conan looked at Haibara Ai hesitantly and said: "This situation has lasted for more than 20 years. Because the body has gradually developed drug resistance, four people are not enough. Karasuma Renye is going to recall Tolisso.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred."
Hui Yuan Ai had some guesses and was slightly dazed.
"My father and mother?"
"Yes. At that time, it was your parents who were forced to join the organization who were researching drugs for rejuvenating people. They noticed Karasuma Renye's secret and felt that such things and people should not exist.
Secretly changed the ingredients of the human blood medicine shipped to Karasuma Renye, and called that batch of medicine 'silver bullets'!
This almost killed Karasuma Renye."
Huihara Ai: "So...did the fire that killed my father and mother happen later?"
"Ah." Conan sighed: "Wakasa Rumi doesn't know exactly how Karasuma Renye survived. She only knows that in order to survive that time, Karasuma Renye gathered four people who had been supplying blood to him for a long time.
Three brothers and sisters died.
The remaining one also became a madman.
Renye Karasuma herself has begun to become strange and frightening to her and Belmode!"
"No wonder...that woman from Belmod has always been deeply hostile to me, even when she was in the organization." Haihara Ai murmured softly.
"Rumi Wakasa also wanted to kill you for a time, but was stopped by Renya Karasuma."
Conan shook his head and said: "That incident was an important turning point. Renye Karasuma no longer had any sympathy for the bodies of his adopted sons and regarded them as consumables... Although he told Wakasa Rumi and others
Yes, the organization will research a drug that can resurrect the dead. Even if all seven of them die unfortunately, as long as I am still alive, I will definitely resurrect them and reunite the family!"
"The ultimate goal of APTX4869 research is indeed to bring the dead back to life." Haiyuan lamented.
Conan nodded: "After that, Renye Karasuma had Tolisso brought back, but he did not recall Rumi Wakasa, who was Rum's substitute, nor Belmod, who had already gained the reputation of the Thousand-Faced Witch.
Two people came to donate blood.
Naturally, the physical condition of the two people was getting worse day by day. The crazy adopted son died eight years ago, and a year ago, Wakasa Rumi was granted leave by Karasuma Renya.
This means that Tolisso's life is coming to an end soon, she will be next, and Belmod will be the last one.
Pandora's anti-aging effect is particularly obvious on Belmod, so Karasuma Renye pays special attention to Belmod. Even if Belmod is brought back to the United States, Karasuma Renye does not give up rescuing her.
After knowing the truth about Belmod’s arrest, I deeply resent Ji Xingqi’s heart for catching Belmod.”
"I see." Haibara lamented: "Rumi Wakasa...is she telling you this because she is afraid of death?"
"Well, she said that she has been living in a contradiction over the years. She is grateful for Karasuma Renye's kindness in raising her and the warm childhood she gave her, but she also does not want to become Karasuma Renye's 'blood food'."
"But..." Conan's eyes flashed under his glasses: "Perhaps, after the organization fell to this point, Karasuma Renye didn't call her back to her because he wanted her to explain everything.
It was Ji Xingqi Xin who caused the organization to collapse, but now, Renya Karasuma's only slim chance of survival is probably Ji Xing Qi Xin."
Huiyuan Ai was startled and nodded in understanding.
"Jixing Qixin has passed away?"
"Probably almost there."
"Then... all of this will finally come to an end..." Haiyuan Ai murmured softly.
