Chapter 186 Sisters Reunite

Day 12 of the Highway Survival Game!

"Shiho! It's been a long time." Miyano Akemi looked at her younger sister, who looked like she did when she was a child, her expression a mix of worry, sadness, and sigh.

Looking at her older sister, who was also childish but looked like an 8 or 9-year-old girl, Shiho Miyano was a little hesitant, even though she had heard from Shinichi Kudo about how he saw her sister for the last time.

This led to the assumption that it was a gamble with life and chance, but there was also a constant worry that luck might really favor my sister.

Moreover, she is much older than her sister and has never seen what her sister looked like when she was 8 or 9 years old. Even though she feels that the person in front of her looks a lot like her sister, she still can't believe it.

Akemi Miyano naturally knew about her sister's personality, which had been shaped by the organization's long-term exposure to her. After seeing her sister remain silent after her initial incredulous call, she guessed what her sister was thinking.

He then asked, seemingly jokingly but also with a hint of seriousness, "Thinking back, the last time I saw you was several months ago when we had coffee together. So, have you found someone you want to date? I noticed you seem to care a lot about that Kudo-san. Do you think he's a good match?"

"Are you really alright?" When Shiho Miyano heard her say that, she remembered the conversation she had with her sister the last time she saw her. Her sister had advised her to find someone she liked and date, and had also mentioned that Conan was a special child.

This finally made her decide to add Shinichi Kudo's name to the list of deaths from research drugs within the organization's servers. Although she was under the organization's watchful eye during that meeting, she was not under close surveillance.

Therefore, the conversation was not overheard by the organization. The fact that this girl, who looks very much like her sister, could say this indicates that she must be her sister herself, rather than the organization recruiting someone who looks similar to deceive them.

Moreover, regarding the effects of APTX4869, after the Vermouth incident, she vaguely sensed that, apart from Vermouth, none of the people in the organization she knew or had heard of were aware of the drug's effects before her recovery.

However, the older members of the organization, like Pisco, seemed to know that after APTX4869 was restored in their hands, their research focus shifted from eliminating the effects of gene cell suicide on the aging and death of human tissues and organs to rejuvenation.

However, what he and his colleagues at the research institute discovered was only a chance to rejuvenate the test subjects, and once they rejuvenated, their bodies would remain in a stagnant state and stop growing...

In short, under these circumstances, unless Vermouth doesn't want to hide the secret of APTX4869's effects from the organization's members during this operation, she is unlikely to use a child who looks like her sister to deceive herself.

As Shiho Miyano was thinking about these things, Akemi Miyano nodded and then shook her head: "It's not that I'm completely safe. My current appearance gives me a certain level of security, but the organization has photos of people my age, so I still need to keep my whereabouts hidden."

"Where did you go after that incident at the port? Why are you here at this time? Don't you know it's very dangerous here?" After confirming that it was her older sister, Shiho Miyano couldn't help but ask a series of worried questions.

Upon hearing this, Miyano Akemi remained nonchalant, as if no problem could stump her, and explained, "You don't need to worry. I had secretly prepared several safe houses beforehand. After escaping the scene that day, I went to live in one of the safe houses."

.

"Then why are you here?" Shiho Miyano wasn't surprised that her sister had a safe house in addition to her usual residence. After all, her sister had secretly told her that if she couldn't reach her through the usual methods, she could leave a message on the phone at that safe house.

That's why she couldn't help but miss her sister. When she called that number, she attracted the organization's pursuit, which led to the Twin Towers being destroyed by the organization. She never expected that her sister had other safe houses besides that one.

At this moment, instead of asking her sister why she hadn't told her the locations of the other safe houses or how to contact them, she asked about her sister's biggest worry and then anxiously urged her, "The organization's people are on this train right now. Get off at the next stop as soon as possible."

“I know.” If she hadn’t known her sister was in danger, she wouldn’t have risked getting close to the people in the organization. Miyano Akemi lowered her voice and explained quietly, “I only intervened because I noticed that Bourbon seemed to have found your trail and wanted to take action against you.”

"Have you met Bourbon? Do you know who he is?" As sisters, Shiho Miyano always knew that her older sister was actually very outstanding. In the eyes of the organization, her sister was someone who failed to inherit their parents' scientific research talent.

Lacking the qualifications of an outstanding member, they are only fit to be ordinary members of the organization at the grassroots level. The reason they receive preferential treatment from the organization is entirely because their scientific research talent is valued by the organization's boss.

In reality, she knew very well that from childhood to adulthood, her older sister had taught her many ways to stay out of trouble and protect herself within the organization, not only when she was young but also before she was sent abroad by the organization for training.

He would always seize every opportunity to meet her after she went abroad to secretly tell her a lot of information about the organization in a casual, gossipy tone, letting her know which members of the organization could be ignored and which ones should not be offended.

I had heard from her that the organization had a member named Bourbon, and she had praised his abilities, but I never expected that my sister could find out Bourbon's real face and whereabouts. Kudo-kun only found out the name of this member of the organization and asked me about him.

"After that day, I learned that Shinichi Kudo was also investigating the organization and was also a victim. I thought about his detective skills and the fact that his father had many connections in the upper echelons of Japanese and American society."

Feeling that his existence might actually pose a threat to the organization, and that his current appearance made things easier, I kept hiding and secretly investigating the organization members I knew, hoping to uncover the organization's core intelligence.

"Maybe it will help Shinichi Kudo take down the organization more quickly..." Seeing her sister's surprise, Akemi Miyano briefly explained her whereabouts and plans during this period, and also wanted to explain to her that she had met Bourbon when she was a child.

After Bourbon joined the organization, he secretly reminded her that Moroboshi Dai was suspicious, which made her realize that someone was watching her. She secretly investigated and found out that someone she knew from childhood had joined the organization.

Before she could even explain, a large number of enormous termites suddenly emerged from all directions from the carriage where she was hiding, gnawing at everything around them. No matter how calm she was, as a woman, she had a natural fear of insects and ants.

Having never experienced such discomfort before, she couldn't help but gasp. But due to her current predicament, she forcibly suppressed the sound that was about to escape her throat...

.

Just minutes before a large number of termites appeared in the various carriages of the real dimension, after Feng Xing Shou and Gin separated, she consumed a lot of spiritual energy by forcibly using her storage space to collect and sell all the termites in the instance dimension.

This left Feng Xing Shou extremely exhausted, feeling like she could fall asleep at any moment. Fortunately, she had experienced all sorts of torment from her cold-blooded and ruthless older brother since childhood. Her Spartan-style education gave her a wealth of experience in squeezing out her potential with her willpower after being drained of energy.

In addition, this instance is different from other instances. Thanks to the presence of Hagiwara's friends and his older brother, they are fully aware of the most dangerous parts of this instance. Therefore, they can focus their energy and head straight to the freight car at the back of the train to find the instance exit.

In addition, in the dimension where the Wind Star Guardian is located, the termites along the way have already been collected and sold through the storage space's additional function, so there is no threat at all, and she can run smoothly from beginning to end.

She was able to run smoothly all the way to the cargo car at the back of the train in the dungeon dimension, but Hagiwara and the others in the real dimension were threatened with death by termites, just like the other passengers.

Even though Hagiwara, Matsuda, and Morofushi were all skilled and armed, they were still affected by the countless termite swarms and had to choose to shoot or use other tools to kill the termites.

The dead termites will immediately secrete a large amount of acidic liquid that corrodes everything around them. On this high-speed train, if the carriage is corroded, all the people in the carriage may be at risk of being run over by the carriages behind.

It was even possible that a derailment of the rear carriage could cause a major accident for the entire train. Therefore, after killing the termites twice and discovering that the termites had corroded holes in the floor of the carriage corridor, exposing the tracks underneath, they stopped attacking the termites.

They chose to avoid the termites and head towards the back of the train, but the termites were everywhere, and the corridor leading to the back of the train was crowded with passengers pushing and shoving each other as they fled.

Not only did they have nowhere to put their feet, but the path to the back of the train was also blocked by passengers. It took them more than two minutes to get through one carriage and into the next. Feng Xingshou needed to establish a physical link with them in order to communicate with them.

Given that she needed to take them with her when leaving the instance, she had to slow down and wait for them. But watching their progress, feeling the instance's countdown and her own increasing fatigue, she felt she couldn't continue like this.

We need to get them to the cargo hold at the back of the train as quickly as possible so we can leave together. How can we make them get there faster? If they could also move within the instance dimension like me, wouldn't they be immune to the termites in the real dimension, just like me?

Perhaps his physical exhaustion affected his intelligence, because when faced with this predicament, Feng Xingshou didn't think of taking the three of them into his storage space in advance and leaving the dungeon with them.
