After hearing Bourbon's words, everyone had different expressions.
Bermode was fine, she was simply surprised by Bourbon's actions. After all, although she knew that the relationship between Bourbon and Johnny Yingjia might not be as good as the relationship between superiors and subordinates under normal circumstances, but looking at their performance on the cruise ship that night, she thought that at least the relationship between the two was not bad.
As a result, this is what happened to Bourbon.
If it was a narrow-minded or over-thinking boss, Bourbon would have been on his assassination list by now. But is that really the case? As an intelligence officer, Bermode boasted that in some ways, she knew Bourbon's nature better than anyone else present.
The seemingly innocent young man is actually a hyena who is loyal to his own desires and interests.
She looked at Bourbon meaningfully, and seemed somewhat interested in his purpose.
As for Gin, he raised his eyelids and sneered meaningfully when Bourbon said something to the effect of "Johnny Winchester is a weak non-combatant".
But since Johnny didn't say anything, there was no need for him to correct it - maybe this was just another little game that Johnny played in front of his subordinates?
After all, even the little FBI mouse thought Johnny was a weak rabbit until he was discovered.
Gin is not interested in Johnny's way of hiding himself. Although he has made rapid progress in physical skills, he is still the guy who ruthlessly entered the chaotic Namimachi for his friend three years ago. It is reasonable for him to use some disguises to cover up his dangerousness.
Sawada Tsunayoshi was silent for two seconds and then forced a smile.
This sounds like a forced smile.
"Since you seem to be very interested in this," seeing that Johnny Winger and Gin had no objection, Bermode moved to the side with the intention of watching the show, "Then please."
Bourbon walked out of the darkness. For some reason, at this moment, Tsukichi Sawada felt that something heavy had been weighing on this junior, like a dark cloud that made it hard to breathe.
He watched as Toru Amuro walked to the side of Vermode, and the blonde woman skillfully entered a code into her side, and the barrier between them and the gem was removed, and the gem shone brightly under the light.
Furuya Rei hesitated for a moment.
"Don't you need me to go into that facility over there?" he asked.
Belmode shook his head.
"That's just equipment used to strengthen the connection and quantify the data. If it's just a rough test, you can do it as long as you hold the gem."
Seeing this, the blond young man hesitantly took the red gem handed over by the other party.
"Relax, Bourbon," seeing that he was a little nervous, Bermode gave him loving advice, "It's just a gem. It doesn't matter if you damage it. After all, when Gin first tried it, he accidentally used too much force and broke one."
She shrugged, not really optimistic about this possibility.
After all, there are many people in the organization who have participated in the experiment, but so far, Gin is the only one who can achieve this step.
Bourbon frowned upon hearing this and turned his head to look at the killer who caused the incident, but the other party didn't care at all. A brown-haired young man was pulling out of the black coat. He was his boss.
The boss came over and said something, but Gin actually smiled in a scary way.
To be honest, the fact that Gin smiled at him is still one of the most terrifying things Bourbon has ever seen in his life.
He frowned, and Bermode looked in the direction he was looking. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and asked a question.
"Are you guys whispering something behind our backs?"
The charming superstar Chrissie has never been rejected by ordinary people, but the two people here are not ordinary people. One of them didn't even look at her, and the other one pinched his cheek and showed a very un-mafia smile.
Bourbon pulled away from the brown-haired young man's very deceptive smile and lowered his eyes, not realizing that he looked a little pitiful.
When he turned around, Sawada Tsunayoshi couldn't help but touch Gin again.
"You haven't answered my question yet, Gin," he muttered, "Do I really look weak? Even worse than an intelligence officer?"
Tsunayoshi Sawada felt that he was still better than the intelligence personnel.
After all, he had been educated by the world's number one killer ten years ago. Apart from anything else, rock climbing with bare hands is something that most people cannot do, not to mention the daily training and fighting for ten years. If you were to say that the tenth generation Vongola was weak and unable to take care of himself... then probably at least half of the Italian mafia would show a nauseated expression.
But when he listened to what Bourbon and Bermode said, he always felt that he was being underestimated.
But what if that's really the case? After all, when he and Gin were sparring, he was sometimes beaten by the other party, and even Andrea had "accidentally" defeated him.
Thinking of this, the Godfather couldn't help but pinch the flesh on his belly.
Very good, still muscle, not softened into fat by the Scottish mother.
And Bourbon over there also retracted his eyes.
He now has complicated emotions towards Johnny Earnja. Before he can decide how he should treat him, it is better for him to reduce direct communication with Johnny Earnja.
So the young man lowered his eyes and examined the gem carefully.
There is a reason why Vermode could put the gem directly into his hands without any hesitation.
Whether from the appearance, feel or weight, this is just an ordinary ruby. Even the quality is not high, just above average.
And Vermode's attitude also showed that this was not a test sample that was too precious to be wasted - in other words, it was most likely a replica that could be quantified.
Thinking of the possibility of being quantified, Furuya Rei's heart sank even deeper.
If this is some kind of unknown weapon with unknown and quantifiable effects, the organization's possession of this weapon means that they have the confidence to threaten Japan and even the entire human race.
If this is the case, not only will the safety of the Japanese people not be guaranteed, but the entire world will fall into the hands of the evil organization.
Thinking about this possibility, Furiya Rei's heart continued to sink until it reached the bottom.
"Congratulations."
Before he fell into the abyss, Bermode leaned over to look at the gem in his hand and said in praise, "Sure enough, Bourbon, you can also resonate with gems."
The blond young man was stunned and lowered his head to look at the flickering flames.
It's a... very strange feeling.
He thought a little dazedly.
Violent and reckless, this was the power he felt from the gem.
However, this violent energy was generated when he was thinking about how to better serve as a member of the public security and how to protect the people.
This strange feeling made him feel a little at a loss as to what to do. Seeing the femme fatale smiling at him, he subconsciously put on his mask and revealed a villain smile.
"It's your turn next." He tilted his head, his golden hair framing his cheeks, and the young man softly called someone's name, "Johnny wins."
Not the Boss.
…
…
"Mr. President, please!" The young man with long black hair stood in front of the president of a well-known magazine in the industry, which was also the magazine that recently published "This Thing", and clasped his hands together.
"You're welcome," the pot-bellied president patted his belly and laughed, "Hagiwara-kun, you're a trainee editor recommended by the police officer who saved my life, and you came here especially for our teacher. Our magazine is looking forward to people like you."
The young man - Kenji Hagiwara looked at the other person, blinked and smiled.
Yes, of course you hope for it, he thought, after all, you are asking for a favor and you don’t ask for any salary... Everyone would want to be a tool like this.
But there was still a smile on his face that made people feel approachable.
"Yes, thanks to the president, I have the opportunity to get close to the teacher," he said, looking like a young man who has just entered the society and loves to show off. "Since the teacher is the sun and the moon, I want to be the teacher's planet. Although I can't get close to the teacher, if I can get the opportunity to protect the teacher, it can't be better."
He lowered his eyes, with a somewhat melancholy look like a literary youth.
Although the president is a businessman, he actually has some aspirations towards literature, otherwise he would not have spent a huge amount of money to open this magazine. He immediately decided to let this young man have the opportunity to get close to the "teacher" he mentioned.
"Oh, by the way, which teacher in our company are you talking about?" He asked while calling his formal editor to come up and pick up the person.
Kenji Hagiwara gave a hearty smile that was 80% sincere.
"Teacher Hibari," he said, his eyes sparkling with the excitement of a true fan, "It's the teacher Hibari from 'I went undercover in a hostile organization and became the second-in-command of the organization, so if I don't destroy the organization, I will become the boss!'"
…
“A-choo!”
Sawada Tsunayoshi sneezed suddenly.
He rubbed his nose and stepped back subconsciously to avoid infecting Gin beside him with the sneeze virus.
When he raised his head again, Bourbon and Belmode in front of him were looking at him in unison, which gave him a rather weird feeling.
He took two steps towards the two people, and when his eyes fell on their similar hair colors, he suddenly realized something.
He said...it turns out that it's because Bourbon and Bermode have similar hair colors!
Suddenly, Tsunayoshi Sawada realized something and found the explanation for his strange feeling.
Correspondingly, Bourbon and the others felt that the looks Johnny received had become much more strange.
Later, the two people nicknamed "The Twin Flowers of the Winery" (not really) looked at each other, and did not find any tacit understanding in each other's eyes, so they turned their heads and looked at Johnny Yingjia who was walking towards them.
Sawada Tsunayoshi felt a little frightened by the greeting looks from the two men.
He silently quickened his pace and walked to the two intelligence officers who were not weak at all.
Bermode stepped back to give them room to maneuver.
In the red gem, the flame that Bourbon had summoned was gradually disappearing, making it look like an ordinary gem.
Tsunayoshi Sawada thought silently about the piece in his hand. Although the organization even killed Taichi Tomisawa, who had considerable influence, in order to prevent the Fire of Life from leaking out, he was not asked to return it immediately after it fell into his hands. Therefore, he still observed it carefully when it was in his hands.
This one is quite similar to the one in his hand, except that one is bigger than the other. It was probably copied artificially by some means.
In this case, he would not be able to make a precise judgment.
After all, even if it is the flame of death, the conditions for ignition are different.
Some people - such as him and other members of the Vongola family - have the power of fire dormant in their blood. After training, they can ignite the Flame of Death without any external objects. However, some people find that they need rings, gems or other various media to ignite the flames of death on their own in order to draw out the flames of death hidden in their bodies.
Also, because the life energy of each person is different, the flames that each person can use without harming their own life are actually different. Sawada Tsunayoshi thought that this was probably the reason why the so-called "fire of life" could not produce a flame reaction on everyone.
Of course, gems of different materials will also have a huge impact on the release of flames. This is also the reason why rings are divided into various grades such as S, A, B, and C in the era of fire battles.
But after further confirmation, Sawada Tsunayoshi determined that this gemstone had a similar origin to the one in his hand, only different in size but not grade. In other words, if he wanted to further explore the so-called "Fire of Life", he had to get the ticket to continue participating in this experiment.
He thought for a moment, then lowered his eyes to look at the gemstone. The traces left by the bourbon were gradually fading, but he still remembered how magnificent the flame inside was when he first came. The Godfather pondered for a moment and gradually closed his eyes.
Although it is possible to hide one's incompetence, the monsters around him have all ignited their flames, and he, without flames, will surely be excluded from the experiment if he has no other contributions.
After all, Bermode still had something on his ear that connected him to old man Rum - if he failed to resonate with the fire of life, the old man would surely be happy to drive him away from here.
So he let out a breath, and his worries gradually turned to controlling the size of the flame.
Of course, using all his strength is not an option. Although he hasn't used fire for a while, the last time he secretly boiled eggs in the morning without Whiskey's knowledge. After turning off the fire, he found that the boiled eggs were not fully cooked. After observing that Whiskey was not on the first floor, he quickly heated them up with a guilty conscience... Ahem, in short, although he hasn't used fire seriously for a long time, he still has control over the flame of death.
Seeing his expression, Vermouth mistakenly thought that he was worried, so he repeated what he had said to Bourbon about gin destroying the gems.
After a pause, considering Johnny's new role within the organization, she added a word of comfort.
"Of course, it's normal that there is no reaction." She thought about it and found a reference that she felt was appropriate. "Many scientists in the organization also had no reaction."
...Damn it, is he actually on the same level as scientists like Shirley? !
The Godfather was almost stumped by what Bermode said.
He ground his molars and exerted force with his hands. A subtle fire ignited inside the gem. Two golden heads poked their heads over curiously, like two curious babies.
I always feel that this description is a little too cute for the members of such a heinous organization.
But at that moment, this was the only word Sawada Tsunayoshi could find to describe it, so he just let it go.
He thought for a moment and controlled the output of the flame, so the red gem became brighter and brighter, until the entire gem was filled, making it flash red light as if a bright flashlight bulb was stuffed inside, and then it gradually slowed down.
Anyway, with the example of gin, it's normal for them to make any kind of noise. But Bourbon...
Although I don’t know how many Bourbon ignited...but he has to be better than the intelligence personnel!
A strange desire to win has grown!
The Godfather straightened his back unconsciously as he looked at the two golden retrievers' faces that showed shock at the same time.
He turned his head to look at Gin, who was said to have broken a gem. The silver-haired young man still had half of his face hidden under the brim of his hat out of habit, but based on his understanding of the other person, Gin should be in a good mood.
Judging from the expressions of several people, his behavior was not unexpected - just kidding, although he had the intention to be stronger than the weak intelligence personnel, but when he was actually operating, he was staring at Vermouth's expression, so it was impossible for him to cause any unusual movement.
In short, it’s comfortable!

But even so, Vermode did not take them into deeper places.
According to the settings on the elevator, this underground base has at least one more floor. I wonder what it is used for.
If the design of the above layers is correct, then the place below is most likely the real source of the [Fire of Life].
Sawada Tsunayoshi withdrew his gaze, knowing that he couldn't act too hastily.
Apart from anything else, even old man Rum would not let him get in touch with the real [Fire of Life] so quickly.
He exhaled and sat in the back seat, looking tired.
"As expected, are you feeling tired too?"
Vermouth, who was driving in place of Bourbon, said through the mirror.
Sawada Tsunayoshi rubbed his brows.
"Is it a side effect of igniting the [Fire of Life]?" he guessed.
Bermode: "bingo~"
Seeing that Johnny was as tired as the others who had ignited the fire of life, the last bit of doubt in Vermouth's heart was dispelled, and he looked particularly amiable.
"That's why I'm here to drive for you guys," she joked. "There's probably enough men from Japan to the United States who want me to be their driver."
This is not nonsense, the charm of popular star Chris Wynyard is indeed like this.
Sawada Tsunayoshi smiled and complimented her a few words, which made Vermode laugh so hard that she was shaking with laughter.
Perhaps it was because the fire of life had consumed his energy, Bourbon was silent all the way until he returned to the safe house. He then rushed into his room, locked it, set traps (Sawada Tsunayoshi:??), and buried himself in the pillow.
In a daze, Bourbon had a dream.
He probably couldn't remember the content of the dream, he just remembered that he was very hungry after waking up, so he groped his way to the kitchen in a daze, looking for the food left by his childhood friend.
"Are you awake?" Johnny appeared behind him with a pocky in his mouth. He was wearing a warm yellow T-shirt that was very casual. He didn't look like someone of their age at all. Instead, he looked as young as a student who had just stepped out of a university campus.
If he was awake, Furiya Rei would definitely sneer in his heart about where this young college student came from. But he was not so awake now, his confused mind seemed to have suffered a severe cold, and he even snorted slightly because he fell into the bed without a quilt.
Johnny looked at him, seeming a little puzzled by his condition.
The young man put down the pocky in his hand, reached out and touched his head, as if measuring his temperature.
Fūya Rei felt that he was somewhat close and wanted to get closer to him.
"You have a fever." He heard the other party say, and was obediently led to the sofa and watched the other party take out a small yellow first aid box.
Is it the same warm yellow as this person, or is it warm brown? Anyway, it's almost the same, a very bright and soft color, which doesn't match the darkness at all.
Furugaya Rei looked at the other person and couldn't help but reach out and push the electronic thermometer on the coffee table aside.
Sawada Tsunayoshi was looking for a battery for this thing, but before he found it, he heard a noise coming from behind.
Looking back, he saw that the thermometer that was originally placed on the coffee table had fallen to the ground. Bourbon, who seemed to have a fever, was sitting on the sofa, very well-behaved - if he could explain why the thermometer fell.
Tsunayoshi Sawada sighed, feeling a bit like he was back in the summer when he was taking care of the sick Rambo.
The elder brother, who had been a babysitter for ten years, knew how to deal with naughty kids during their illness. After some gentle coaxing and hugging, he got sick Bourbon to obediently apply the fever-reducing patch - the children's version that was given as a gift during a purchase.
The child Bourbon sat there obediently, looking very well behaved. Thinking of his abnormal behavior today, Tsunayoshi Sawada couldn't help but sigh.
"If only you were always as good as you are now." He sighed. "Bourbon."
The sound seemed to come from far away. Furuya Rei was originally in a very confused state, but when he heard "Bourbon", he suddenly woke up like a robot that triggered a specific vocabulary.
There was no one else in the safe house except him and Johnny. Johnny had been busy taking care of him for a long time and was now struggling to find medicine, leaving only a very homely back.
Fūya Rei closed his eyes, probably because of his physical discomfort and his relaxed mood.
He recalled the chaotic dream he had just had, a picture in darkness.
It was still the organization's underground base. A huge red gem - the body of the fire of life was suspended in the air, surrounded by snake-like flames.
Johnny Winger was standing right underneath it, and finally reached out his hand, being bitten by the fire snakes, to take the gem in the middle.
"He" hurried into the room and shouted "Boss".
The other person turned around, and the familiar face was wearing a mask. The mouth under the mask opened and closed. Although his voice could not be heard, Furiya Rei knew what he was saying.
"I am……"
Before he could finish his words, the fire snake bit into his body and devoured the brown-haired young man. Before he disappeared, the gem in the young man's hand suddenly burst into an orange flame like himself, strong and majestic.
Furutani Rei woke up in a cold sweat.
Thinking of this, he pressed his brows together. The mood after the nightmare was more complicated than the dream itself.
——Freud believed that dreams are the projection of people’s desires and thoughts. He would have such a dream...what does it represent?
