101.

The weather is still good today. Along the way, you can see the colorful flowers planted by people around you... It's perfect for a walk!

Although walking on the street in a black dress might attract some attention, Chiyoya Saori still maintained a cool demeanor and walked towards the research institute disguised as a certain company as if no one was around.

Don't ask her why she didn't take the bus. The reason is that she had no money and the organization's salary had not arrived yet.

Damn it! If the bike wasn’t so cheap, she would really want to just race past it!

By the time Chiyoya Saori arrived at the research institute empty-handed, it was three o'clock in the afternoon and Vermode's examination had already been completed.

The black-haired woman took off her sunglasses from a distance and replaced them with another pair in her pocket.

Vermouth was leaning against the door, holding a cigarette casually in her hand. There were obvious pinholes on the back of her right hand, and her face did not look very good.

But when he saw Chiyoya Soori coming over, Vermode still greeted her with a seductive smile.

"Ah, it's finally here. I've been waiting for a long time."

She approached her directly, like the closest sister, and hugged her from the back. The cigarette in her hand burned quietly, forming a curling white snake in front of Chiyoya Sayori.

The smell of tobacco was a bit acrid, but she wasn't in a good mood for coughing.

The scorching heat and the faint scent of perfume came over her. Chiyoya Soori's back stiffened and she said helplessly, "Vermode."

"Hey, why is your voice so hoarse? Have you smoked too much?" Bermode poked the collar around her neck.

When her fingers touched the pale skin on the neck, the blonde girl subconsciously retracted her hand, shocked by the unusually cold body temperature.

It was a little painful, but still within the acceptable range. Chiyoya Saori said calmly, "I got hurt in a fight."

Bermode raised his eyebrows: "Who are you fighting with? Are you still fighting now?"

"Myself."

Bermode smiled. She lifted a strand of her long hair. The white hair in the darkness was like stars wrapped in the night, scattered and boundless. "Hmm, it looks like there are more of them."

Chiyoya Hayori's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she pulled back the strand of hair: "It's just irrelevant."

"I hope so..." She said meaningfully, "Junior sister, don't die too quickly."

"At least now, I still like you quite a lot."

#Thank you, but we are not suitable. #

Chiyoya Saori was playing up her character, and in her heart she gave Vermouth a nice guy card for refusing to confess, and removed her restless arm from her shoulder.

She frowned, coughed lightly twice, and walked straight in through the door.

This research institute is the organization's fixed base, responsible for many types of experiments. Talents coming from unknown channels are transformed into cold working machines with few expressions.

It seems that the purpose of their existence is to conduct experiments, calculate data, and observe various reactions of animals or living human subjects with an expressionless face. Even human nature is suppressed to the extreme.

Even after three years, Chiyoya Saori still hates this place, and her hatred for the organization deepens.

However, the organization is not just a few real sake employees as shown in the comics. Its strength fluctuates. It has been lurking in Japan for too long, involving various industries.

The focus of boys' comics is naturally on the protagonist, and the audience also determines that the evil side will not be fully exposed.

But fortunately, the ending will definitely move in the direction she wants to see, and she just needs to take advantage of this opportunity and make a concerted effort.

Chiyoya Hayo walked around two rooms and came to the innermost part, where a woman dressed in white and wearing a mask was sitting there. There was a racket hanging on her chest with the word "Mizumoto" written on it.

It wasn't the first time the two met, so naturally there was no awkwardness between them, but they weren't very warm either. Compared to those researchers outside, she was more trustworthy.

Seeing her come in, Dr. Mizumoto called out, "Shinso, give me the information."

“No.”

Maintaining a cold attitude, Chiyoya Saori sat opposite her, casually and lazily.

Dr. Mizumoto pushed up his glasses, and without asking any questions, he took out a black disk from the computer next to him and motioned for her to enter the password.

Chiyoya Saori lowered her head slightly and typed. Soon, the computer lit up and data popped up.

Clearly everything is here, but we still ask her to bring it every time. Isn't this unnecessary?

What followed was a series of routine tests, and she successfully contributed several tubes of blood that would yield absolutely no research results.

Chiyoya Saori stretched out her hand somewhat wearily and tugged at the collar around her neck. A few lines of blood oozed out from the back of her hand, which was quickly blocked by Dr. Mizumoto with a cotton swab.

The latter said helplessly: "Don't treat yourself so casually."

As the two people got closer, Dr. Mizumoto clearly saw a trickle of blood emerging from the collar on her neck, which gradually slid down and was covered by the black clothes.

"How did you get hurt?" She subconsciously wanted to touch it, but was stopped by the black-haired woman with one hand.

"Don't move."

Her voice was hoarse and filled with careless fatigue, and the string of blood meandered along with the vibration of her vocal cords, like an indelible mark.

Is it...can't be picked?

Shui Ben paused, sat up straight, and wanted to say something, but his sunglasses blocked him from even looking at her.

After a while, she just sighed and said, "Remember to collect the blood."

"Um."

After the blood test, there were a bunch of meaningless questions, and Chiyoya Sayori answered them perfunctorily with meaningless "um", "oh" and "ah". But on the surface, her answers were concise and to the point, and there were no mistakes.

Even though she had a computer, Dr. Mizumoto was still quickly sketching on paper, as if she didn't want to waste time. After asking questions, she walked to the window and closed the curtain.

The room suddenly became dark, and only the faint light from the instrument screen could be seen. The young-looking researcher pushed his glasses and gently took off the sunglasses of the person in front of him, revealing a pair of cold and pure black eyes.

It seemed still a little too bright, and the curled eyelashes blinked nervously, and finally narrowed slightly, with his gaze fixed on Mizumoto's face.

"Can you see my badge clearly, Shinsou?" Mizumoto took two steps back and pointed to the work badge on his chest.

The black-haired woman was a little slow to respond: "Yeah."

She took another step back and continued, "What about this?"

"Um……"

"Are you a little confused?" Mizumoto sighed, "Did you take the medicine I prescribed?"

“…”

There was no answer, but the attitude seemed to say it all.

"That won't work. If your eyesight deteriorates further, even the specially made sunglasses won't help." Mizumoto had a headache. "Why can't you find any results?"

I've used all kinds of neurological examination instruments, and nothing seems to be abnormal. But every time I test it, it goes down. If it's a mental problem...

Well, the organization doesn't provide psychiatrists.

Mizumoto pushed the instrument again, intending to do another accurate test: "Let's try again."

Because it is such a virtual thing, it would be a miracle if anything could be found out.

Chiyoya Saori answered calmly in her heart.

In order to prevent Karasuma Renya from dissecting her as a finished product, she racked her brains to add debuffs to her character, and even had to gradually destroy her to make it more realistic. It was extremely difficult to act.

She didn't understand what was going on inside the body, and if she pretended to have other diseases, they would be easily detected, so Chiyoya Saori had to start with obvious places - and it had to not significantly affect her life and ability to move.

So it was only natural to pretend to be blind.

Not really blind.

In the past, I was a little nervous about acting out that kind of confusion, but now I find that she looks quite confused when she reads the forum, which is just perfect.

So, while Dr. Mizumoto was having a hard time, Chiyotani Saori went to the forum to slack off.

"Can you see this clearly?"

"ah."

"What about this?"

"No."

Taking some time to glance at the progress, Chiyoya Sayori went to look through the updated comics.

The comic did include her appearance, but it was not obvious, and it could even be said that there were only two small frames.

[At the entrance of the research institute, Vermouth held a cigarette in his mouth and tilted his head to look at the shadow in front of him with a familiar and friendly smile.

"I finally waited for you."

Next to her is a bubble that says: "My peers."]

The second scene is when Vermodei holds her neck and says, "Junior sister, don't die too quickly."

She had her back to the camera, revealing only her black clothes and slightly gray long hair.

But this was enough. Chiyoya Saori flipped through the comments section and, as expected, there was a crowd of excited plot fans.

[Ahhh, the main plot, it's the organization main plot! As expected, there are new characters on the red side, and there must be new characters on the black side too! From the back, she's a pretty lady!]

[Vermode's junior sister? Does she mean someone who is learning disguise? Black Feather Thief is just a brick, he can disguise himself wherever he goes]

[Again, it’s the same kind, and it’s also about not dying too quickly. It looks like it’s also a test subject… Another old monster.]

[What are you talking about upstairs?]

[Alright, alright, the organization won't appear so soon. The police academy group is still in its growth stage. I guess they are just released for us to have some fun and see if we don't quarrel.]

[I wonder if it’s mixed with water like Sister Bei…]

If you turn the pages further, there is no more story about Chiyoya Saori, and it talks about Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda going to Ekoda Town.

The two prepared a lot of things this morning and pretended to be visiting college students to research strange news. They successfully relied on Hagihara Kenji's eloquence to get information about the "Chiyogaya House" from the locals.

"That family's house is still deserted and full of evil spirits!" the locals said. "You'd better not get involved, or you'll get into trouble. People nearby are gradually moving away, and there are only a few families left."

Hagiwara Kenji asked, "Is it because of the rain doll summoning spirits? I heard that the family seems to have another son."

The locals were stunned for a moment and waved their hands: "I don't know, maybe there is. There seems to be some rumors in recent years that every year on the day of the fire, a young man will come to give a bouquet of flowers or something, but he won't tell you who he is when asked."

"It's just a rumor. I've never met the person."

"Is it certain that their daughter also died in the fire?"

Locals: “…It’s hard to say. The fire was so big that it alarmed the leaders, who moved everything in a mess!”

"It seems like they are looking for something. They searched very carefully. I don't know what kind of heirloom it is..." The locals were a little regretful. "They don't have any relatives. They have to hand it over to the country."

When he saw that Hagiwara Kenji and the others wanted to ask more questions, he immediately became alert: "Are you paparazzi?"

The two of them ran away in embarrassment.

Then Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji went to the old house and looked around a few times, but they didn't find any clues. Under the abandoned building, besides insects, they could only see a bunch of withered dried flowers that were pressed down.

"It's really hard to find clues. The one who presented flowers should be Toru, right?" Matsuda Jinpei sighed, "Toru might have been fostered somewhere else at the time, so these people don't know him."

Hagiwara Kenji responded and thought, "It still feels wrong. After the fire is put out, we save people first, and then judge the property damage... How can so many people be alarmed to come over and look for things?"

"Who is looking for what?"

"This fire was obviously not caused by a gas explosion." Matsuda Jinpei said firmly.

"We have observed the surrounding area. It is not far from the pond or reservoir. There are neighbors around. If it was a simple gas explosion, it would not be possible to burn out the entire house and no one inside could escape."

He concluded: "This was murder."

Hagiwara Kenji murmured, "For money and murder?"

"There's no reason why the police couldn't figure out what we could see, so there must be something that forced them to just rush the case."

"Hey, Hagi, do you think Toru knows the truth?" Matsuda Jinpei turned to look at his childhood friend, "He came to the police academy, is he still thinking of revenge?"

Hagiwara Kenji: “…”

After a pause, he said, "Let's look for more clues and see if we can figure out what we were looking for back then, and which police officers were in charge of this case."

[Help, I knew it couldn't be an ordinary fire. He was trying to find something, and then he started a fire. Do you think this routine is familiar?]

[I gave you a hint at the beginning. This is probably related to the organization.]

[No, is it possible that the Police Academy Team has already joined the main storyline so early this time? Are Matsuda and the others not going to the Explosives Team?]

[Who knows whether to go or not? It’s better not to go, so as to avoid having to distribute lunch boxes]

[So Toru actually has a blood feud with the organization, so he must want to go undercover in the organization and defeat it, but he has met Gin before, so he doesn't know it!]

[I am about to burst, why is this bento so unavailable? Regarding Toru's dead end]

[By the way, what is the identity of the new "junior sister"? Is it possible that she is the elder sister? And the elder sister protects Toru]

[How is it possible? She is both a test subject and a junior of Vermouth. How can Chiyoya Saori be that capable?]

[Wuwuwu, I don’t want my son to die!]

Chiyotani Saori read through the whole article at a glance and was somewhat impressed by the sharpness of Hagiwara Kenji.

Through the clues, we can barely restore the general situation of that year. If it is a small organization, it should be found quickly.

But it is the organization.

Chiyoya Saori doesn't want Matsuda Jinpei and others to be mixed into the organization. The more they know each other, the greater the risk of being exposed.

Thinking of the death of Morobuchi Jingguang in the spoilers, she couldn't help but clench her fists.

I hope that this time she has an accident, and that guy will just stay in the police station and worry about the public interest!

102.

"That's all for today. You must take your medicine. I've changed the prescription of your sunglasses for you."

"If your insomnia is still serious, I can recommend a psychiatrist for you."

Mizumoto put away the instrument and returned the new pair of sunglasses to Chiyoya Sayori. After the latter put them on, he opened the curtains again.

It was already the devil's hour, and the gorgeous sunset filtered through the window, tinting the room with a layer of crimson.

The black-haired woman pushed her sunglasses, stood up slowly, stretched her body, took the bag of medicine handed to her by Shui Ben, and stuffed it roughly into her pocket.

"Leave."

"I hope I'll have good news next time I see you."

She just snorted in response and pushed the door open and left.

The researcher, who looked exceptionally young and was wearing glasses, shook his head and looked up at the setting sun outside the window with some regret.

"It's such a beautiful view... it's a shame not to see it."

103.

After leaving the research institute, Chiyoya Saori took off her sunglasses and replaced them with a pair of the same style without prescription.

What psychiatrist? Whenever she heard the word psychiatrist, she would think of that stupid scumbag Masato Somura.

Of course, Bermode couldn't wait for her to do several hours of examination, so he left early. He only chatted with her for a few words in the text message, reminding her not to forget to report to the base.

We can get to the base today, which means we only need to be there before midnight. It's only 5:30 in the afternoon, so it's still early.

Chiyoya Saori adjusted her collar again and opened the forum to take a look.

I don’t know if having blood drawn is counted as an injury, but her combat damage value has been moved to 12%.

It's not a big problem. The month is almost over and she can still move her mouth as long as she doesn't speak loudly.

Otherwise, she almost forgot how to speak after not talking for nearly ten days.

Feeling that it was still early, Chiyoya Saori decided to have dinner first and then go to the Japanese confectionery shop to touch a slime to eat.

——Gin is even next to the police academy, so for someone like her who doesn’t even have a code name or a real face, it should be no problem for her to buy some food.

Chiyoya Saori did as she said and walked over slowly again. It was almost dark when she walked over.

I don’t know if there was a sale at the mall today, but there were a lot of people on the streets, it was crowded and a bit noisy.

Chiyoya Hayato moved through the crowd, wondering which flavor she should buy to satisfy her craving with the money she had.

Suddenly, someone next to her seemed to be squeezed and bumped into her, just in time to touch her.

Chiyoya Hayori was startled, feeling that the medicine in her pocket showed signs of loosening. She was about to turn around and elbow the thief in the face when she heard a decisive and clear voice coming from the side.

"Miss, don't move, this guy is a thief!"

The voice sounded familiar, and Chiyoya Saori turned her head to take a look.

She found the thief standing next to her with his hand in her pocket and someone holding his shoulder with a terrified look on his face.

The latter lifted his sleeves, revealing a slightly dark arm, and pressed the thief hard to the ground.

This man also looked familiar, with blond hair, dark skin and a righteous face. When he saw her looking at him, he smiled politely. It was none other than the guy from Furukaya Rei.

Hmm??? Furuya Rei!
