Chapter 91 Chapter 91 Go get rid of that guy in the woolen hat...
Are you concerned?
That's easy.
The most terrifying people are those who have nothing to worry about. But Shirley obviously doesn't fall into this category. She has a weak spot - her sister.
Olga leaned back against the wall, raised her head, and stared at the pale light on the ceiling with her eyes slightly narrowed. The phone, which had turned off, spun a circle between her fingers.
"——Miyano Akemi."
Olga silently read out the name she had seen in the file. After a moment, she suddenly smiled. She thought of the thing she would use to threaten Shirley.
Vermouth once warned her not to provoke Shirley, but Olga obviously turned a deaf ear to her words.

"Dong-dong-dong-dong"
Three unhurried knocks sounded at the door. Shirley, who had just sent a text message to Miyano Akemi, didn't even bother to check if her message had been delivered. She instinctively turned off her phone.
Then, before Shirley could say anything, the door of the laboratory was pushed open from the outside.
Sure enough, it was Arthas who had returned.
At that time, Shirley put her phone back into her pocket, hurried back to the laboratory operating table, picked up a test tube, and looked up at the person who came, pretending to be calm.
"Anything else?"
Perhaps out of nervousness, Shirley took the initiative to start a conversation, a rare occurrence. Although her voice still sounded calm.
Olga withdrew her hand and let the door close automatically. After a dull thud, she shrugged and said with a smile, "No big deal."
Shirley instinctively sensed danger at Olga's fake smile. She frowned, placed the test tube back in the rack, and cautiously avoided answering.
Olga seemed unaware of Shirley's nervousness. She walked to the other side of the operating table, picked up a bottle of reagent, and studied it with great interest without saying a word.
The atmosphere remained tense. Of course, Shirley was the only one who was nervous.
After a while, Shirley seemed to finally be unable to tolerate Olga's riddle:
“——”
"How is your sister doing lately?"
Olga noticed Shirley's expression from the reflection of the reagent bottle in her hand, and spoke before she could say anything.
Olga's casual, seemingly casual remark instantly brought the atmosphere in the lab to a freezing point. She could almost guess Shirley's expression without even looking, and her voice was icy.
"What's the meaning?"
"Don't be so nervous," Olga finally put down the reagent bottle in her hand. She then leaned over the lab table, her hands on her chin as she looked at Shirley with that chillingly innocent smile on her face. "It's just a normal greeting."
Shirley took a step back, leaning against the wall with her arms folded. This was a typical defensive move. She observed Olga from a higher vantage point, but she didn't feel any psychological advantage.
"There's no gossip about my sister worth talking about, so don't bother yourself with it."
"Oh? Really? Is that so?" Olga brushed off her sleeves, stood up straight, and stepped back to lean against the wall. She stuffed her hands in the front pockets of her sweatshirt, then looked at Shirley and said slowly, "I thought her love life wasn't going well."
Shirley didn't say anything, only frowning slightly. It was obvious that she didn't quite understand what Olga meant.
"What's your sister's boyfriend's name?" Olga pretended to think for a few seconds before finally saying a name in Japanese, as if suddenly understanding something. "Ah, Akai Shuichi."
The confusion in Shirley's eyes was even greater, and she seemed to be completely unfamiliar with the name "Akai Shuichi".
It's not acting.
Olga observed Shirley's expression with interest. "Or to put it another way—Lei? Moroboshi Dai?"
Olga finally saw the change she wanted on Shirley's face. Obviously, Shirley had heard about Lei's "betrayal" of the organization and was well aware of the consequences of being involved with a traitor.
"They have broken up." Sulli said this almost immediately, as if to clarify.
"Really?" Olga still spoke in that slow and intriguing tone.
Shirley narrowed her eyes slightly. She was observing and trying to figure out all the possible meanings behind Olga's question.
But her understanding of Arthas in the organization was still too little. Even the smartest person would not be able to deduce the result when there were almost no known conditions.
So, after a few breaths, Shirley suddenly sighed deeply, raised her hands symbolically, made a slightly perfunctory gesture of surrender, and took the initiative to admit defeat in this round to ease the atmosphere.
"Tell me about it."
Olga smiled. She tossed the phone to Shirley.
Shirley caught it reflexively, and then realized that the phone was not locked, and there was an interface similar to a text message on the screen.
Arthas had been prepared for this. Shirley realized it immediately. Had she anticipated my reaction?
However, before Shirley could think about Olga's behavior logic for another second, the moment she saw the content on the phone screen, her mind was almost blank.
Olga saw Shirley's pupils suddenly shrink, and admired her pale face, tense jaw, and trembling hands. Then, as if it wasn't enough, she deliberately said:
"It seems that Miyano Akemi already knew that Lei was an undercover agent."
silence.
With a click, Shirley pressed the screen-off button on her phone. If Olga hadn't reached out, she would have almost hidden the phone in her pocket, as if that would seal the secret once again.
Akemi Miyano had known for a long time that Lei was an undercover agent, but she did not report it to the organization.
Moreover, she is still in contact with that person until now!
This realization almost drove Shirley crazy. At least at this moment, Shirley was the most out of control Olga had ever seen her.
Almost immediately, Shirley made her decision:
"I could try to reverse the drug, but with my sister—"
"I'll keep it a secret."
Olga felt that she had underestimated how much Shirley cared about Miyano Akemi. She stared at Shirley for a while, and seeing her worried expression, she suddenly felt a little bored.
Then, Olga retracted all the expressions on her face, threw the prototype medicine "Silver Bullet" to Shirley, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Then..." Shirley seemed to want to say something.
The moment her fingertips touched the cold, hard doorknob, Olga couldn't explain what she was thinking. Perhaps her conscience had finally come to her senses. In short, she suddenly turned around and said in a calm tone, "What are you doing?"
"Speaking of which, I will keep this a secret. However, I'm not the only one who knows about this."
Shirley's expression immediately became nervous: "What do you mean?"
Olga tilted her head, opened the door, and walked out. Shirley couldn't help but take two steps toward the door, but she couldn't catch up.
As the distance between them grew, Shirley could only vaguely hear Olga's voice, mixed with a slight echo from the corridor:
"Behave yourself, I'll make everyone who knows about this shut up."
With a bang, the door of the laboratory was shut heavily by the automatic mechanism. Shirley breathed a sigh of relief.
She had gotten Arthas's promise.
Shirley knew that Arthas was not trustworthy, but she chose to believe him anyway.
Perhaps it was because Arthas was the last straw, and she had no other choice. Or perhaps it was because...
Shirley pursed her lips and lowered her eyes to look at the red and white capsule between her fingers.
Or maybe it’s because…
No, stop imagining things. That's just a guess.
Shirley took a deep breath, forced herself to put aside the thoughts in her mind, and began to prepare the reverse work of the medicine.

Olga was not in a very good mood.
In the silent corridor, she could almost hear every beat of her own heart.
Just like Ooka Momiji said, it doesn't sound very healthy. Olga thought so and suddenly smiled, but the smile quickly disappeared.
She raised her left hand and wiped her face irritably, her weak fingertips stroking her cheek.
“Tsk.”
Olga didn't understand why she suddenly became kind.
Why would she remind Shirley... As long as Shirley successfully reverse-engineers the drug, as long as she gets what she wants, what does it have to do with her whether the Miyano sisters are dead or alive?
She would keep it a secret, but whether Gin and Vermouth, who also knew the secret, would keep silent was none of her business. Anyway, she kept it a secret, so it wasn't really a lie, right?
So, why should we remind Shirley?
Isn’t it interesting to admire the despair of others after they think they are safe?
Is it because she wants to see the Miyano sisters and the Akai family fighting each other? After all, they are relatives, and a fight would definitely be interesting...
No, no, no, they don't even know that they are related by blood. So even if they really fight, it will be very boring.
But the relationship between Miyano Akemi and Akai Shuichi is still very good.
Why not go back now and let Shirley tell Miyano Akemi that as long as she asks Akai Shuichi out and kills that annoying guy in the woolen hat with her own hands, she will forgive what happened before?
Olga thought this was a great idea.
Can Akemi Miyano kill Shuichi Akai? Or will Shuichi Akai kill Akemi Miyano in return?
That's what makes it interesting.
Olga wanted to turn around and return to the lab to bring up this interesting idea, but she paused and stood there with a frown on her face for a full half minute.
She began to think, putting aside those wild thoughts.
Then she came to the conclusion that she was influenced by the existence of Shirley.
Was it because of those unreliable rumors that she never took seriously?
The moment she lowered her head, a thick shadow flashed in Olga's eyes.
“Tsk.”
After a moment, she raised her head with a normal expression and strode out of the experimental base.
Vermouth would not reveal this secret on her own initiative. She even warned Olga not to get involved in Shirley's affairs. So, there was only one person left who knew the truth.
"As expected, we still need to find a way to make Gin shut up first."
Olga tapped her head in feigned distress, her sharp gaze suddenly directed towards a camera in the corner of the ceiling. Then, she paused and looked up at the camera, as if looking through it at someone else:
"What should we do?" She deliberately slowed down her speech, emphasizing each word. "Otherwise, we can just kill Gin."
