At present, Haiyuan Ai has not been able to create a complete antidote, but he has developed several antidotes with different side effects and durations.
The one she just picked was the one with the shortest lasting effect and relatively mild side effects.
This medicine was chosen because Haihara Ai felt that it would be best for her to return to the body of a child as soon as possible after climbing upstairs.
After all, if Pisk is detained in time, then other members of the organization present have not yet received the information that "adults have become smaller", so naturally they will not pay too much attention to a child. After she escapes, even if she no longer lives
Entering Dr. Ali's house can also escape to other places.
Naturally, Jiang Xia, who had seen and was familiar with her two forms, was not included in the "other organization members" in Hui Yuan Ai's mind.
Every time she classified, she would subconsciously distinguish "Jiang Xia" from "organization members." Although to her, the two exuded similar auras, there were other things about Jiang Xia that the members of the organization did not have.
Things, this makes Haihara Ai still unable to look at the two together.
She mustered up the courage to take the medicine and subconsciously glanced at the laptop placed on the wooden table.
This should have been left by Pisk, and it contains countless valuable information.
But at the same time, Haiyuan Ai, referring to her previous life experience in the organization, suspected that the computer contained a locator, and taking it away would be a disaster. Moreover, she did not have a medium with which she could copy the data...
Hui Yuan Ai looked away regretfully, then quickly walked towards the door without pausing.
Her target was the cardboard box on the cleaning truck next to the door. On the edge of the cardboard box was a set of janitor's clothes - when she got older, the children's clothes she was wearing now would no longer be wearable.
When walking around in the wine cellar just now, Haihara Ai noticed this box. She may have subconsciously had the survival instinct of "getting bigger and escaping down the chimney". From now on, she has been paying special attention to the clothes in the box.
Once he decided to escape, he immediately thought of the location of his clothes.
However, when dragging out the set of clothes while enduring the intense heat as her body grew larger, Haihara Ai suddenly felt a little heavy in her hands.
Then a "pop" sound was heard.
——There seemed to be something heavy weighed on the cleaner's clothes. As she dragged the clothes away, the thing fell gently to the bottom of the box.
Hui Yuan Ai stepped forward in confusion, tiptoed on the edge of the cardboard box and looked inside.
When she saw what was inside clearly, she was stunned.
...This turned out to be a body armor.
However, what made her stunned on the spot was not the special protective clothing, nor the strange circumstances in which the clothing appeared, but the piece of paper hanging on it.
...It turned out to be a piece of paper with a "Z" pattern printed on it. The pattern was complex and simple, very familiar!
Hui Yuan Ai hesitantly picked up the clothes and took a closer look at the piece of paper. She had seen the same shape of tattoo on Xiao Bai's neck, and there were similar tattoos under the anonymous lady's eyes.
Why is there such a mark here?!
Could it be that she guessed wrong, that the person who stunned her and captured her here was not Pisk from the black organization, but someone from Anonymous?
...No, this speculation should be wrong, something is very inconsistent.
If Anonymous wanted to arrest her, there was no need to wait until now.
And she remembered that the hand that held her was very old, dry and full of wrinkles. According to Conan's speculation about the Anonymous organization, Anonymous seems to be an organization composed of APTX4869 victims, and there should not be such old-looking members in it.
.
Also, although Conan hesitated to admit it, his words seemed to reveal that the Anonymous Organization is an organization that is very...well, very focused on appearance. People like Conan wanted to join, but were rejected...
Of course, this inference is very imprecise and can only be regarded as evidence like rumors. After all, Kudo was rejected for other reasons, such as the anonymous people found him annoying... But in short, various circumstances indicate that it is necessary to arrest her in the cellar.
That person's style is completely different from that of the Anonymous Organization, and I always feel that they are not accomplices.
Having just taken the antidote, coupled with the impact of the piece of paper with the "Z" on it, Haihara Ai's body temperature was getting higher and higher, and the thoughts in her mind were becoming more and more confusing.
She gradually became unsteady and panted violently, and bursts of strange steam-like white gas began to emit from her body. Then, with several violent contractions of her heart, she felt that her body, fingertips, and even every cell seemed to be violently
It swelled and seemed ready to explode from the inside at any moment.
Hui Yuan Ai tightly squeezed the piece of paper in his hand, let out a dying cry of pain from his throat, and knelt down against the wall.
…
One minute later.
Hui Yuan Ai silently got up again and changed into cleaner's clothes without incident.
...Although the antidote has not been tested on humans, it seems that the medicine she made is quite reliable so far. It will be fine after the period of change...It is just that the physical sensation at that time was really terrible. I thought I was going to die just now.
.
Haiyuan Ai put on her clothes, glanced at the body armor and paper in her hand with complicated eyes, hesitated for a moment, put on the body armor as well, and put the paper away close to her body.
Then she didn't climb the chimney immediately, but quickly walked to the open desktop computer on the table and typed a key at random.
The screen lights up, and an interface with a familiar format is refreshed.
...is the interface of the organization.
In this case, the person who captured her should indeed be a member of the organization. And judging from his old skin, that person was not Jiang Xia, not Ginjiu, or Ginjiu's big follower... Given that she only knew that there was one person present at the moment
"Pisk", let's call him Pisk first... Haiyuan Ai thought to himself.
After confirming this, she did not waste time to crack the code. Instead, after hiding the original children's clothes, she quickly ran towards the chimney, preparing to escape.
Without the interference of the uncomfortable state before becoming bigger, Haiyuan Ai's thinking is much clearer than before - time is running out, no matter who is the person who brought her to the wine cellar, or whether Pisk is a member of the organization or an anonymous person
Someone, or an undercover agent sent by Anonymous to organize... In short, the only fact that can be clearly seen now is that Anonymous put the body armor and the piece of paper representing their identity into the box.
The body armor is adult size.
If Anonymous was secretly observing the progress of the antidote, he must have known that she could turn back into an adult.
Combined with the chimney in the wine cellar here...this shows that the anonymous people seemed to support her escaping along the chimney.
Helping her tactfully in this way instead of directly rescuing her may be because of the inconvenience of being anonymous, or maybe... this is the test Anonymous gives her, the one where she will be accepted if she passes it?
As soon as this thought popped up, it was like a spark hitting hay, amplifying suddenly, making Hui Yuan Ai feel that his confused future was suddenly illuminated.
——Pisk may not be caught by the police. Even if he is caught and imprisoned, he may not pass on information to the organization through certain channels.
The organization has information on "Shirley" from childhood to adulthood, which of course also includes photos of her as a child. Once the information about her shrinkage is sent back to the organization, there will be endless pursuits waiting for her in the future. Even if she escapes,
After a while, or maybe one day in the future, those bloodthirsty and terrifying crows will suddenly find the doctor's house and kill everyone.
But if you follow Anonymous... Anonymous has never shown any fear of the black organization, and their information is so well-informed that it often makes people panic. In addition, they also have a good understanding of the organization, and even know the existence of APTX4869.
On the other hand, the Anonymous' behavior seems to be very different from that of the black organization. They are both mysterious organizations, but the Anonymous' methods are much gentler. In addition, they clearly know Haibara Ai's position, but they have never taken any action that is detrimental to
Her measures, perhaps even considering her mood, they sent Xiaobai to contact...
The more Hui Yuan Ai thought about it, the more excited she became.
She subconsciously began to evaluate herself, trying to convince herself that she was worthy of this organization-she was a scientist and was very knowledgeable about APTX4869 and drugs in related fields. As for some other unique requirements...
Haiyuan Ai thought about his own face that he had seen in the mirror, and felt that he should be able to meet the standard.
After this thought came to her, her cheeks turned slightly red and she felt a little ashamed. After living so long, she thought she only relied on her talent to make a living, but she didn't expect that she would have to rely on her face in the end...
No, in addition to her face, it probably also depends on her will to survive. This may be one of the reasons why Anonymous did not show up to save her and only left her body armor.
...If she performs well, will Anonymous want her?
Hui Yuan Ai touched the rough inner wall of the chimney, took a deep breath, tried to support himself with his hands and feet, and moved upward slowly.
She had just gotten used to this strenuous posture. Suddenly, she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to hear the heavy sound of leather shoes falling on the ground in the silent and empty corridor outside - it seemed that someone was walking towards this side step by step.
Come on, there's more than one person.
Hui Yuan Ai suddenly remembered the computer on the table in the wine cellar that seemed to be equipped with a transmitter. He held his breath and his hands and feet became cold.
…
a few minutes ago.
After Haihara Ai woke up from the drug, the police's investigation of the seven people holding purple handkerchiefs came to an end.
Gin's black Porsche finally rolled through the snow and stopped on the roadside nearby.
He and Vodka got out of the car on the left and the other on the right, and slammed the door. They walked towards Aimeido City Hotel with a clear goal and dialed the phone.
However, the outgoing call was not answered.
Gin quickly put down his hand and put his phone back into his pocket. He walked through the shadows that were not illuminated by the street lights, and walked into the hotel door with vodka with a gloomy face.
At this time, the main hall and corridors of the hotel were still full of reporters who wanted to get first-hand news.
Two men in black quickly passed by a group of people also dressed in black formal suits in a low-key manner, and stopped in front of a quiet staircase.
Vodka looked at the light spot representing the location on the phone screen, then turned to look at Gin: "Boss."
The positioning is flat, but the building in front of you is three-dimensional.
Gin recalled the layout of the hotel, pondered for a moment, and walked down the stairs. He remembered that there was a rarely used wine cellar underground.
This was actually not part of the organization's plan.
But Gin felt that if Pisk came up with some kind of Plan B, the wine cellar would be a good place to hide the body, hide or move.
On the way to the wine cellar, Vodka checked his mailbox again and reported: "They still haven't responded."
After a pause, Vodka came up with some personal speculation: "Could it be Uzo who killed Pisk? Pisk has always disdained to listen to our orders. Although you told him not to go to Uzo,
But if he can't hold it back..."
Vodka compared in his mind the relatively old and fatuous Pisk with the killing method that he could not see through, making Uzo particularly weird and unpredictable. He felt that if the two really had a conflict, Pisk would most likely be dead.
As for Piske, a veteran hero, killing his Uzo would definitely not be a favor to the boss. In addition, for Gin, killing teammates who had done nothing wrong during a mission was an inappropriate behavior.
It is extremely irresponsible to prioritize tasks and satisfy one's own selfish desires first. Big brother hates this bad habit the most... Haha, go ahead and do it, Uzo!
Vodka secretly cheered Jiang Xia up in his heart.
Gin glanced at him with a cigarette in his mouth and ignored him.
Today's mission is very important. He has also said many times in advance that hunting is prohibited. Uzo should know the appropriateness.
And the most important thing is that Uzo's killing method is different from that of most people in the organization. There is a guidance process, which takes a certain amount of time. Also, Uzo seems to like to pursue that kind of artistic effect. He doesn't
It will make the target die dull and boring, especially a heavy prey like Pisk, which should not be worthy of a sufficiently fancy killing technique.
And once this happens, the commotion in the hotel lobby will definitely be more than what it was just now.
In other words, Pisk should still be alive.
Since the two lost contact at the same time, it is now more likely that something went wrong when Pisk killed him, and he was targeted by the police. Uzo may have been approached by the police again, and he was acting as a detective to solve the case at this time, but
It’s not easy to sell teammates, so it’s been delayed until now.
...an old waste.
Gin let out a dissatisfied snort.
…
The stairs going down are not too long.
Before he could think of any more possibilities, an old door with a log color appeared in front of him.
Vodka glanced at the flashing signal point on the screen and compared the location: "It should be right here."
Gin nodded and turned the doorknob.
The knob made a clicking sound, but the door could not be pushed open - it was locked.
This was not too unexpected. Gin stepped back a little and raised his chin towards Vodka.
Vodka understood immediately, put away his cell phone, shot the door lock, and then pushed the door open smoothly.
The wine cellar is not very big, so the two of them took a few horizontal steps and looked at the entire room.
There is a cart with empty cartons next to the door.
Gin looked down and saw a piece of Shirley's hair falling on the ground next to the carton.
...I found enough Shirley's hair today. He didn't pick it up anymore, but continued to look forward and saw the table placed in the center of the room, as well as Pisk's computer on the wooden table.
