Chapter 94 The Antidote [VIP]

"...I don't know."

"I see. Then find out who seriously injured Cecil. You have a week. If you can't find out, I think you'll be in big trouble." Karasuma Renya's words were laced with threat.

"yes."

Cheng was led out after being put on a black cloth strip.

On the bus, Cheng felt that the medication was causing him a lot of side effects; for example, he felt dizzy and wanted to vomit.

Return to the central base in Beika Town.

As soon as Cheng got off the car, he tore off the black cloth strip and went to find Furuya Rei. He took a small bottle from the lounge and used the knife he was carrying to cut his arm.

Furuya Rei was startled: "What are you doing?" In his vision, Cheng You came to him aggressively, rummaged through his things without saying a word, took a small bottle, and then started to hurt himself with a knife.

He rushed forward, but Cheng stopped him, saying, "Wait a minute." He was drawing blood, and after collecting the blood in a small glass bottle, he handed it to Furuya Rei.

"What are you doing?" Furuya Rei exclaimed in surprise. "I don't have this kind of special fetish."

Cheng shook his head, took out a signal jammer from his pocket, and then said with relief, "I just went to see Karasuma Renya."

"What?"

"Then, he injected me with a drug."

"And now?" Furuya Rei looked at him with concern.

“It’s alright, but I feel that this drug can control people. He said he also injected it into Gin, and there’s another person who might also be someone in the organization, Rum or Kujo Kosuke.” Cheng Youdao said, “My body has good resistance, so I should be able to hold on for a while. Have someone give my blood sample to Yuichi, and he should be able to develop an antidote.”

With the antidote available, we can give it to Gin and Rum Kujo. With their support, taking control of this organization will be just around the corner.

Jiang Gu nodded, took the first-aid kit from the table, and reached out to help Cheng You bandage his wound. Cheng You did not refuse, but his complexion was not good. He probably bled too much and was a little anemic recently.

"You bled without making a sound, it was terrifying," Furuya Rei remarked.

"Hmm, I am indeed a bit anxious. Karasuma Renya wants me to find out who seriously injured Cecil. How should I explain it?" Cheng asked humbly.

Rei Furuya thought carefully: "He might want to win him over."

Cheng nodded: "I'm going to take action."

Rei Furuya understood what that meant and asked, "When?"

"A week from now, Karasuma Renya will take me there to ask about the investigation. I'll place a hidden locator there, although there might be no signal..."

Before Cheng could finish speaking, Furuya Rei interrupted him: "If the locator is discovered, you'll be in great danger. He'll definitely scan you with a metal detector when he takes you there. Did you sense anything when you arrived?"

After a moment of thought, Cheng described his feelings upon arriving there: "It was mostly forest, quite humid. It was probably around two or three in the afternoon. We walked for about five hours, stopping along the way. Our speed varied, with a lot of time spent on the highway, but it's possible they deliberately took a longer route. There was no sunlight, which means we were in the east. There was a wooden cabin; I remember we went up the stairs. It must have been a fairly large cabin."

Furuya Reiichi wrote down: "Based on the speed, excluding the time spent waiting at traffic lights, it's about 150 to 500 kilometers away from here. I'll explain this to Kazami and have him check it out."

This is so nauseating that even with some information, it's not easy to find out the exact details.

After bandaging him up, Furuya Rei contacted Kazami: "No matter how many suspicious points he finds, I will divide the work with the FBI, and we will set up several teams to ambush at each suspicious point."

Cheng smiled and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Five days later, Furuya Rei brought the antidote developed by Yuichi: "Yuichi and Haibara researched it, and he said the ingredients are not mixed. I have to say, these two young people are really amazing. The antidote for Drug A that they developed is already perfect. Kudo last took it and it lasted for a whole month. If they refine it a bit more, he should be able to fully recover. The progress of extracting the drug from Cecil's blood has begun, and we will have results soon."

Cheng You: "Those two are working so hard."

Suddenly remembering something, Furuya Rei smiled and said, "Yuichi and Haibara both took the antidote for Drug A. Do you want to see Yuichi turn back into a seventeen-year-old boy?"

Cheng You recalled seeing Youyi at the amusement park not long ago; he was seventeen years old, very thin, and looked like he wasn't doing well. He waved his hand helplessly: "I'm Potter now, how can I go to the police station to see him?"

Rei Furuya took out his phone, scrolled to the photo, and handed it to him: "Here, Hiro took this."

The picture shows Yuichi, Haibara, Kudo, and Ryuzaki, who are seriously discussing their research.

Cheng You took a look and saw that Youyi was now fair and tender, much stronger than when they met at the amusement park. Her face was rosy and she looked healthy.

After looking at the photo for two seconds, it automatically disappeared. Cheng You handed the phone over, saying, "You've gained a lot of weight." His tone was unconsciously filled with happiness.

Rei Furuya laughed and said, "Is that so? I remember it too. The first time I saw you was at the dessert shop. Yuichi was very thin back then. But now he looks so healthy and happy."

This was the day Karasuma Renya was supposed to ask Potter to find out and report back to him, and Cheng was taken away as usual.

Before leaving, he went to see Gin alone, with two vials of serum hidden in his pocket.

Gin was in the lounge reviewing information about the research institute, including some data they had seized from the police.

Noticing footsteps, he slowly raised his eyes: "Potter, what's wrong?"

Cheng Youmo remained silent, walked to the last seat next to Gin, and casually picked up the documents on the table to look through them.

Gin didn't pay much attention and continued looking through the documents.

After some time, Cheng You suddenly spoke up: "I remember you were the top performer in the recent annual summaries."

Gin hummed in response, without any other expression; to him, this was perfectly normal.

"You're really putting in a lot of effort for the Black Organization," Cheng You said with a smile, looking at Gin.

Gin sensed something was wrong and questioned, "Porter, if you're just here to chat, there's no need for this. The boss is waiting for you."

Cheng You touched his neck: "A week ago, I went to see the BOSS, and he injected me with a drug. He said he had injected you with it too, you know?"

"Whoosh—"

With a swift movement, in the blink of an eye, a hand had already gripped Cheng You's neck.

Gin said fiercely, "The boss has his reasons for everything he does, what are you trying to sow discord about?"

Cheng forced out a "heh" through gritted teeth.

Gin loosened his grip, releasing the other person: "What do you want to say?"

His letting go indicates that he either remembered or witnessed the injection of drugs into Karasuma Renya.

Cheng You: "That kind of potion can bewitch people. Do you want the antidote?"

Gin fell into deep thought. In the instant he hesitated, Cheng You pounced over, took out a syringe containing the antidote serum from his pocket, and stuck it into the other man's neck.

Gin's pupils dilated, and he reached out to grab Cheng You by the neck: "What are you doing?!"

Cheng didn't stop, pushing the plunger of the syringe with all his might, finally injecting all the medicine.

Gin suddenly lost his strength, and his grip on Cheng You's neck loosened slightly.

Cheng You let go of the other person's hand, stood up, and stared at Gin's weak appearance.

After waiting for about five minutes, Gin's condition improved. Once he regained consciousness, he asked, "The antidote?"

“Yes.” Cheng You responded, taking out another antidote from his pocket. “Waruma Renya said there was another person who was injected. Do you know who it is?”

Gin nodded: "Kujo."

Cheng handed him the medicine: "Then I'll leave it to you. I need to report the investigation results to Karasuma Renya, so I'm afraid I won't have time to go see him."

After taking the reagent, Gin asked, "What's your purpose?" He had initially thought that Li Hua had joined the organization just for fun, a kind of perverse pleasure of a playboy. Now it seemed that he had underestimated Li Hua.

Cheng You smiled and said, "I also want to ask you, do you want to leave the Black Organization? Or rather, do you want to continue like this, accepting the organization's orders to indiscriminately kill innocent people?"

Gin hesitated. He had worked in this place for over twenty years. If he wanted to leave, he might really have nowhere to go. Besides, how could he ever wash away the sins on his body?

Cheng slowly revealed his purpose: "I want to be the BOSS of the Black Organization. I have cooperated with the Public Security Bureau, the FBI, and the Dongfang Bubai Pavilion. We are fighting against the research institute together. You can make amends for your mistakes. You will naturally have to pay the price for your sins, but you are still valuable."

Gin nodded: "No problem, I can support you as the new BOSS." After saying that, he left, taking the potion to find Kujo.

Everything went as Cheng had anticipated. After handling everything, he was taken to Karasuma Renya's residence.

He still didn't bring the locator; Cheng didn't intend to alert the enemy before even reaching Karasuma Renya's residence.

A short while later, Cheng was led off the car, upstairs to a room, and the door was closed.

The old man's slightly magnetic voice came through: "Potter, take it off."

Cheng removed the black cloth covering his eyes.

Karasuma Renya: "How's the investigation going?"

"We have the results, Boss."

"who?"

Cheng You: "...Who does the BOSS want me to name?"

"?!" Karasuma Renya heard the other's tone, which didn't sound like someone who had been injected with the drug. There was a hint of anger in his voice: "What? You want to defy me?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Cheng You pulled three scalpels from his pocket, rushed toward the camera with lightning speed, and stabbed the camera hard.

Cheng You lunged forward, intending to stab Karasuma Renya with a scalpel.

When he approached the other person, he found that it was indeed a mannequin, wearing a hat and loose clothing, but inside the clothes was only a skeleton and a loudspeaker, used to transmit what Karasuma Renya said.

"Hahaha, you're asking for death~ But I'm also very curious, how did you counteract the drug I was injected with?" Karasuma Renya's eerie voice came from the broadcasting machine.

Cheng's heart pounded violently. He heard hurried footsteps outside the door; Karasuma Renya had sent men to arrest him.

Given Karasuma Renya's cautious nature, he must have a considerable number of bodyguards.
