It was getting close to evening, and the light in the spacious presidential suite was dim. Pisk stood up and turned on the chandelier.
He had been on the phone with Makoto Sakaki for almost an hour, recounting his memories from 19 years ago from his own perspective.
Through his narration, Sakaki Makoto gradually understood what happened 19 years ago and found out the whole story.
"Just like that, two years passed in a flash..."
Pisk's voice came:
"Two years later, you are already 7 years old, and Ryunosuke has firmly established himself as the second-in-command of the organization."
"The APTX project, thanks to the efforts of the Miyano couple, has made rapid progress, achieved breakthroughs one after another, and is getting closer and closer to the silver bullet goal."
"But at this moment...an accident happened."
Snap!
On the other side of the microphone, Pisk lit a cigarette and seemed to be thinking about how to get to the point.
Sakaki Makoto was not in a hurry either. He waited quietly without urging anyone.
After a while...
"One day, the Miyano couple suddenly contacted Ryunosuke and me and told us that the first product of the silver bullet had been successfully developed. We were overjoyed and immediately rushed to the secret research institute."
Pisk said:
"When we arrived at the institute, we saw the pill named Silver Bullet. It seemed to have a magical power that bewitched people. Once we saw it, we had an irresistible urge."
"At this time, the Miyano couple told us that the pill was just the initial version of the silver bullet, which had only been tested on mice. It was very dangerous and had a success rate of only 15%."
"but..."
"To further improve the Silver Bullet, human experiments are needed."
At this point, Pisk hesitated:
"In fact... at the beginning of the planned research, many people had already taken unfinished drugs. Under the strong side effects, very few people survived."
"This time the Silver Bullet is no exception."
"The organization spent a lot of money to select 10 volunteers and let them take the silver bullet. The result is..."
"All 10 volunteers vomited blood and died."
Sakaki was stunned for a moment, he thought...
The Silver Bullet will be successfully trial-produced.
"After research, the Miyano couple discovered that the silver bullet was extremely toxic and would destroy human organ cells. The initial version of the silver bullet was declared a failure."
"Later, as Japan's economy took off, fewer and fewer people were willing to serve as test subjects for money. It was impossible for the organization to go out and capture men every day, as this would arouse suspicion from the outside world..."
"As a last resort, the Miyano couple had to reduce the dosage of the drug and began long-term observation of the test subject."
"A woman who had taken drugs before and survived came into their sight."
With his eyes narrowed, Pisk said quietly:
"She was originally a low-level member of the organization. Because she made an unforgivable mistake while performing a mission, she was sent to the institute and turned into a test subject."
"What no one expected was that this woman actually survived the experiment. The Miyano couple discovered during regular checkups..."
"She actually stopped aging!"
A woman who stopped aging...
After thinking about it, Sakaki Makoto thought of someone.
Sharon Wynyard.
"Originally, she should have died, but she managed to crawl back from the brink of death!"
Pisk was so excited that he even spoke incoherently:
"She was one of the first drug testers 19 years ago, and she is the only woman who survived!"
"Because she didn't die after taking the medicine, Boss forgave her mistake, kept her by his side, and disciplined and valued her."
"Two years later, 17 years ago, after the Miyano couple discovered that she had stopped aging, Boss favored her even more and regarded her as a real silver bullet!"
Sakaki Makoto suddenly felt a little strange.
If you say...
Vermouth stopped aging because of the APTX plan...
He should be tortured.
Just as he had guessed before, he was imprisoned, tied to the experimental table, used as an example, wearing a thin white T-shirt, and locked in a dungeon without seeing the sun.
Can...
The last time he saw Vermouth, she seemed very free, even Gin gave her some room.
What on earth had happened to cause her, who was originally unforgivable, to sit in this position today?
"Pisk, the woman you are talking about..."
Sakaki Makoto pondered and said:
"Could it be Vermouth?"
"It seems you know her."
Pisco breathed a sigh of relief:
"Yes, this terrifying woman is Vermouth."
"Don't be fooled by her appearance that she is less than 30 years old and beautiful, but in fact..."
"She is almost 50 years old this year..."
"If you could stop aging..."
Sakaki Makoto asked doubtfully:
“Does age still matter?”
“This is where I’m going to talk to you next!”
His tone suddenly became serious, and Pisk said word by word:
"Although Vermouth's body cells have stopped aging, the cost is the sacrifice of organ activity and the squeeze of the body's vitality!"
"It's like a gift from the devil. Her beauty remains forever, but her life span is greatly shortened!"
"The cells in a normal human body are constantly dividing and proliferating, but after Vermouth took the drug, her body cells began to grow inversely, that is, the main cells constantly devour other similar organ cells to extend their own lifespan. This completely subverts the laws of life science!"
Sakaki Makoto understood.
