Chapter 112: The Price of Scientific Breakthroughs. The logic is clear...

Kudo looked at them and was overwhelmed by the sudden scientific enthusiasm of the movie queen and the scientist.

Washing Machine: Who am I? Where am I? I'm surrounded by beautiful women, but they seem to be talking about something new?

"This is insane. What are you talking about... a mystical exchange of life forces? This isn't science, this is alchemy."

Shinichi's scientific perspective has been challenged once again. The game played by these stunningly beautiful ladies is a heart-pounding one. It's a high-end game.

"Many scientific breakthroughs remain mysterious until they are understood," Shiho replied absentmindedly, mumbling to herself as she read Eleanor's notes. "Electricity. Radiation. Cell fusion experiments."

The leisure of a top student. Even when Mount Tai collapses, he remains calm as he reads his notes. Is this the demeanor of a strong person? (Starry eyes)

Cell fusion, what kind of lewd language is this? Are they trying to stir up trouble? (I like it. More of it. Modo Modo GKD)

"So you believe her now?" Kudo asked, his face etched with anger. "After everything you've been through?"

That's a very insightful question. Tsk, tsk, tsk, I smell a slightly sour smell. Is that an illusion?

Shiho raised her head and met his eyes. There was a clarity in her eyes that she hadn't felt for several days.

Is it relief? Is it determination? Or... the radiance of love? (Whatever, I'll just eat it first.)

"I believe in science. I also believe that the road of science is bumpy, and some risks are worth taking."

Famous scenes are guaranteed. But, but, Xikasi, is this "risk" even a serious one? (dog head.jpg) Why do I smell a hint of charging for love, sacrificing myself for love?

The subtext is: "For the sake of an important 'her', I am willing to do it."

"Don't take the risk." Kudo stepped forward and grabbed her arm. "Shiho, please..."

The protagonist's classic attempt at a win-win situation is belated but effective. (Hidden trait revealed.) Kudo's behavior at this point is caring, but also tinged with a touch of male dominance and insecurity—he wants to snatch the little wild cat back to his side.

But is Shiho the kind of woman who can be easily restrained? Obviously not.

"Enough, little detective. This is not something you can decide." Vermouth's voice was as tough as steel, magnetic and pleasant, and it was both cool and charming.

The Queen spoke and Bayonetta slayed the whole audience.

This sentence shows the girlfriend's power at max. "It's none of your business to meddle in my Shiho-chan's affairs."

"That's not your decision, Sharon," Agasa interrupted. "Miyano-kun, as your academic advisor, I strongly suggest that you reconsider. The potential applications of this research are indeed extraordinary. If successful, it can benefit mankind on a large scale. But if you start the experiment, you need a proper plan and extensive testing..."

Doctor: I’m just an ordinary academic dissuasion tool…

"That's why I volunteered to be the first test subject," Shiho said calmly.

Shiho: Stop arguing and let me do it.

Using the calmest tone, she says the most outrageous things. That's Miyano Shiho. A-ha!

The room fell silent again, and everyone's eyes turned to her.

A highlight. The center of the world. Ms. Miyano Shiho.

"What?" Kudo asked in a low voice.

Kudo: The wind was so strong I couldn't hear you clearly. Miss, could you please say it again? (Pupil trembling.gif)

Kudo... the most sober atmosphere group in the whole audience (but in fact it can't stop the yuri progress bar at all).

"Not as a catalyst," Shiho clarified, looking directly into Vermouth's beautiful face, "but as the main experimental subject."

This gaze, savor it. Savor it carefully. How much electricity is sizzling inside?

The weight of these words. Shiho is giving herself over completely.

Vermouth's previously strong composure suddenly collapsed. She was actually a little overwhelmed. The only person who could make the Thousand Faces Movie Queen lose her composure instantly was Miyano Shiho.

"That's not the plan."

Bei Jie: Wait. Qiaodou Madai, that's not the script. How can my little darling take such a risk? (Inner OS)

"When new data comes out, the plan will change." Shiho put down Eleanor's diary.

Xuebazhi is online. It has clear logic and is well organized.

"Your body has been damaged by the original formula, and its cellular structure is unstable. If something goes wrong during the reversal process, the damage will be catastrophic and irreversible."

Every word is about feeling sorry for Miss Bay. This is no longer a simple scientific analysis, every word is full of love (broken voice)

The main point is that Sister Bei has already taken a weakened version of this drug, so her body may have developed resistance to it. It would be best to have someone who has never taken the drug do this experiment.

"And you are a blank slate," Vermouth realized, her scientific understanding clashing with her emotional resistance. The subtext: "I can't bear to see anything happen to you."

Bei Jie: She did it for me... (touched to the point of being speechless)

Key point. Sister Bei's feelings for Ai-chan are so strong that they're beginning to overwhelm her decades of rationality and planning. Isn't this what love looks like?

Vermouth's acting talent and decades of habitual behavior are finally broken through by Shiho's "science", and her love-brain attribute begins to emerge.

"That's right." Shiho walked to the workbench and picked up the bottle of liquid, which seemed like a token of love. (It's not)

"I'll make the formula. You'll be the catalyst. If it works, we can prove the concept of this formula without risking your already precarious situation."

What kind of domineering declaration is this, that no one else can do it but me?

The last sentence directly engraved "I love you, so I want to protect you" into her DNA. Shiho's control attribute is fully utilized, and in dangerous moments, she is the most able to control the situation.

Announce that this bottle of liquid is their "cup of wine." Who is in favor and who is against?

Ding dong, plot prediction! Next up, Shiho's power awakens. Liquid down the drain, the experiment begins, and the Shura field transforms into a "heart-pounding scene"... Either the scientific research results will shine (and a happy ending, by the way), or everyone will cry their eyes out.

Ding Dong, multiple choice question. Kudo, at this time will:

A. Silently enjoying lesbian sex in the corner, and taking a small notebook to write down every sweet word they said.

B. Playing the bad guy on the spot, he raised his hand and suggested: "How about I have a bite too?"

C. Immediately open the B station live broadcast: "Lily Research Shura Field, watch it live."

D. continued to hold Shiho's arm and cried: "Please, don't be a blank slate, leave some color for me."

When Vermouth heard Shiho say, "You act as the catalyst, and I'll be the main object," her true inner thoughts were closer to which of the following?

A. "Oh no! It's a heart-pounding feeling. This little kitty (referring to Shiho) actually wants to protect me? I'm a little overwhelmed."

B. "The plan worked. It saved me the risk of being a guinea pig, and I got to observe the kitten's stunning beauty up close. Killing two birds with one stone."

C. "Kudo Yukiko, you're a blockhead. Learn from Miyano Shiho. That's what it means to be responsible for love. I recommend you memorize the entire text."

D. "Wait. Did this kid misunderstand something? I just wanted to play 'life force exchange play' with her. I didn't want her to take any real risks."

"What if we fail?" Vermouth's voice actually sounded a little fragile.

Oh no? Even the ever-popular actress, Bayley, can be so insecure? Is this the sun rising from the west?

She, a Hollywood enchantress and a winery executive (the slacking version), had seen it all, yet she was so vulnerable in front of a little girl? The power of love was terrifying.

She was pretending, she had to be pretending. How could Vermouth be so vulnerable? Unless she was facing Yukiko (crossed out) and Shiho, the heroines of the love-hate dramas of their youth.

"This way you can finally get the answer after decades, and you won't lose another Charlotte." Shiho's smile was soft, but quite determined. "This way, science can get the data it needs for the next attempt."

Shiho's smile is as gentle as a knife, but each one is deadly. However, Vermouth is only 29 years old, so if she says "decades ago", she sounds like she is at least 40 or above.

And does "data required for the next attempt" refer to the experience points for conquering Vermouth?

"This is crazy," Kudo protested, his English, a Cockney accent, breaking down and reverting to a Japanese-English accent. "Dr. Agasa, stop her."

Kudo continued to serve as a background and atmosphere creator.

Washing machine: Stop fighting. Oh no, stop being a lesbian. I don't understand, but I'm deeply shocked.

But why would a perpetual elementary school student (college student version) butt heads in the affairs of a young couple (?).

However, Agasa looked at Shiho with a complex expression that was both worried and proud.

"It's her choice, Kudo-kun. It's always been her choice."

Dr. Agasa: I hit you, I hit you. My granddaughter (?) has made great progress.

The doctor's eyes showed the typical sense of relief of "My daughter has grown up, and the cabbages can finally support the pigs (crossed out)".

Masaka, have you seen through everything? The hidden CP leader is you.

This is the Queen's choice, and no one else has the right to object.

Vermouth moved closer to Shiho and looked closely at her face. "Why would you take this risk? For science? For me? For what?"

Oh, oh, oh. The classic three questions. Closer. Closer. Where is the head-pressing squad?

Bei Jie's OS: What's this little girl up to? She's doing this for me? I'm a little excited.

"Because of all the reasons you mentioned." Shiho stared at her intently, her eyes clearly glaring at her. "And some questions can only be answered by asking directly."

For example, "Will you be with me?" (dog head) This wave of direct balls is perfect. As expected of you, Miyano Shiho.

Translate Shiho's words: It's all, but mainly for you. (Tsundere face)

As expected of the high IQ group, they are so stream-of-consciousness even when it comes to love.

Vermouth nodded and made a decision: "Then you study it carefully, and I will take some time to think about it and decide whether to continue. According to your instructions."

Bei Jie: Okay, I'll give you a chance. But I'm going to use the strategy of procrastination.

So, is there still research to be done? What exactly is this "research"? Is it research into the great harmony of life? (Evil laughter)

You can get on the bus first and buy the ticket later, or no, try it first and then decide, that's very Vermouth.

"Let's think about it" = the highest level of safeword in the Conan universe.

Ding Dong, multiple choice questions.

What is the real purpose of Shiho Miyano’s “scientific experiment”?

A. Collect precise chromatographic data on Vermouth's blushing behavior to provide clinical support for the whitening efficacy of APTX4869.

B. Test the fluctuation frequency of Vermouth’s heartbeat at different distances and improve the “love stress response model”.

C. I just want to get up close and personal with Miss Bay. Science is just an excuse, you know. Hurry up.

D. All of the above is just acting to extract information from Vermouth. (Miyano, Infernal Affairs, Shiho)

And so, the experiment was temporarily stopped.

Shiho spent every day in the laboratory studying Eleanor's notes and doing various improved experiments, but she had no conclusion.

Then, strategic surrender... or mutual annexation? (30,000 words omitted here.) Three days later.

An indignant comment popped up:

Oh, ma'am, do you have some misunderstanding about "omission"? How can we omit something at a time like this? Thirty thousand words, I won't tolerate even one less. (Flips the table)

Three days later... Well, it seems the battle was intense, and both sides need to rest and recuperate. (Meaningful.jpg)

There is so much love, hate, and vengeance hidden in this ellipsis. Madam, please elaborate on it. Is it possible to unlock the hidden plot? (Crazy hint)

I'm familiar with this "three days later" transition. Was it because the network administrator paused the driving scene three days ago?

"Mutual swallowing" you just say "you eat me and I eat you" and it's over, the science and engineering version of the love action movie is online.

"Love-brained High IQs Swallow Each Other" is now online, and it is recommended that Beika Town give it priority support.

Whisper: Of course, you should avoid the 30,000-word section of "Driving". Minors should be careful, and adults... please be restrained.

.

In the laboratory of Vermouth's luxury apartment, Miyano Shiho was trying to induce the crystallization of a particularly stubborn protein. She immersed herself in the complex molecular formula, trying to temporarily banish the intense, rough, yet strangely romantic memories of last night.

That storm. That person.

Protein: Don’t I have any dignity? I just want to be a handsome man/beautiful woman quietly. Why should I be surrounded by you big guys and watch my crystallization?

They were "devouring each other" in the last second, and started doing scientific research in the next second. Is Dr. Miyano's energy bar blessed by the blue buff?

The air, as always, was filled with ozone, the smell of various unknown solvents, and the lingering faint despair of student days.

DNA is moving, and who wouldn't be desperate while rushing to finish a lab report? This feels damn familiar.

Advanced mathematics, final exams, lab reports, and pressure from instructors...this girl who studies science is also a worker.

What was unusual was the unique and subtle scent of expensive Parisian perfume... to be more precise, the "Twisted Time" perfume of a famous brand.

It fits with Bayley's mysterious feminine temperament. So it's a mixture of scientific wasteland style and high-end celebrity style?

Vermouth once declared that the perfume was "perfect for the pleasure of contemplating the meaninglessness of human existence, or for seducing particularly stubborn biochemists."

This perfume declares itself a Level 10 scholar in Versailles literature. The title sounds like an art film, but its purpose is clearly borderline dramatic. This perfume could be a double degree in philosophy.

Key point: "Seducing those particularly stubborn biochemists." Bei Jie, just give me Shiho's ID number. Precision strikes are the most lethal.

So now, when Shiho smells this scent, is she thinking about the "meaninglessness of existence," or has she been "tempted"? (Raises an eyebrow)

Vermouth Wynyard, in a silk shirt and impeccably tailored lounge pants, looks like she could be walking the Paris Fashion Week runway or starring in the finale of "Desperate Housewives." She's got a commanding presence.

Silk Shirt: Temptation +999, Scientist Sanity -1000.

The woman who had passionately embraced her last night, fought fiercely on the dual battlefields of soul and body, and finally defeated her.

She perched precariously on a lab stool, dressed in haute couture, sitting on that hard bench... the image was stunning. Practicality? Comfort? In Miss Bay's vocabulary, were these two words as important as "beauty"?

Experimental Stool: An innocent stool forced to witness a love scene. I endured weight and stares that shouldn't be borne at my age. But being sat on by Miss Bayonet was worth it.

To be honest, this stool is not for sitting, it is for people to twist and turn to show off their bodies.

Beilu Modou was flipping through a dog-eared copy of Advanced Inorganic Chemistry with ease, occasionally letting out a dramatic sigh of weariness.

"Advanced Inorganic Chemistry": What did I do wrong to be used as a prop by a movie queen to pose for photos and seduce a younger man? And I was even rejected.

Sister Bei: This class of chemistry is not good, I can’t lead it, I can’t lead it. Inner OS: Not even as cute as my little Shiho, huh.

It’s just a daily routine of a poor student pretending to be a top student and reading a mysterious book (bushi). Sister Bei is just experiencing life, please don’t cue her.

And "Advanced Inorganic Chemistry"? A more appropriate book would be "The Heart-Pounding Chemistry of the Human Body."

Flipping through the book is fake, waiting for Shiho to feed him is real.

After all, as a movie queen, in this kind of atmosphere, it is already very polite for her to cover her face with a book. It would also be fine if she flipped through the "Encyclopedia of Newlywed Life".

"Dear," Vermouth began, slamming the book shut with a decisive thud that shook the beaker next to her.

The poor student (fake) forcibly interrupted the scientific research work of the top student and wanted to output a wave of values ​​(bushi).

Beaker: I'm so panicked. I'm just an innocent vessel, but I can feel the thrill of love, okay?

"While I admire your dedication to molecular art, does this undertaking have to be so... banal? Without flair, without dramatic flair. If these proteins were international spies, they would have been caught and registered at the hotel using their real names."

Bayonetta is in sharp-tongued mode. She's the only one who dares to call Shiho's research achievements "mediocre" and "talentless."

Protein: I'm just an ordinary protein, why should I bear the pressure of a spy's KPI? It's too hard for me. Just because the experiment failed, how can it be framed as "spy failure"?

Are you saying it's not high enough? I suggest Shiho crystallize the whole diamond shape next time to blind her.

Shiho: I study science, not metaphysics. I don't care about style; practicality is all that matters.

"Register the hotel with your real name." Even Gin would give a thumbs-up. Bei Jie, are you implying the intelligence of some members of the organization? (Crazy hint at Vodka)

Without looking up, Shiho tilted her head from the microscope and adjusted the focus knob.

Inner thoughts: Woman, you're interrupting my experiment. No matter how charming you are, I'll remain unmoved, staring at my microscope. The main point is "professionalism."

Is this the composure of a scientific leader? He remains calm even when Mount Tai collapses before him, and never glances away even when a beautiful woman flirts with him.

"Vermouth, protein has nothing to do with spy fashion. What we care about is the accuracy of the experiment. This concept may be worth studying carefully by humans who love fashion."

Protein: Right, right, we only care about whether we can play it correctly, not the OOTD.

Shiho speaks like a philosopher. A double entendre, suggesting that some people (like organizations) should be upright and stop resorting to shady practices, especially in the bedroom. (Crazy hint)

Human: Got it. Now let's figure out how to "properly experiment" with our lives. (Then choose to lie down.)

However, the images of last night still flashed through her mind uncontrollably. The tangled limbs, the heavy breathing, and... the hot, commanding words that Vermouth whispered in her ear.

Shiho felt her cheeks getting hot, so she looked away unnoticeably.

Vermouth chuckled. "Well said, my little scientist. You're always so straightforward, which is really endearing."

This possessiveness, this doting tone. Translation: I love the way you complain about everything, even me. Is it actually Miss Bayonet herself who is being masochistic?

Vermouth slid gracefully down from the stool and, behind her, looked over Shiho's shoulder at the microscope.

"So, what secrets have these stubborn little guys been hiding from you today?"

Bei Jie: Come, let me stick to them from behind and use magic (physical) to help you ask them. (dog head)

Protein: Help! We have no secrets. We just want to crystallize quietly. Don't look at us with those "exploratory" eyes.

"Secret"? A secret makes a protein protein. A secret makes protein more protein? Bayley has started her series of adapting classic quotes again.

Shiho, how will you respond to Vermouth's close-range "offensive"?

A. "I only react to amino acids, not you." (Vice-verbal, honest body)

B. "Protein doesn't lie, so stop pretending." (Ke Xue is blunt, a little shy)

C. "...You can get closer to me, but don't spray your perfume in my reagents." (Scientist flirtation)

D. Silently turns off the microscope and turns back: "How far do you want to seduce me?" (The heroine of a cool novel awakens.)

E. "Hurry up and finish your questions and leave. Don't disturb me while I'm publishing my Nature article. You'll ruin my chances of winning the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, don't you know?"

When a cool scientist meets a mysterious spy: the heat of love is released under the microscope.
