146.
The lights were bleak, and there were combination doors and laboratories everywhere. The corridors had been carefully mopped, but there were still black stains that could not be cleaned away, like a sin that could not be washed away.
The unknown corridor puts a lot of psychological pressure on people. Even Chiyoya Hayato can't help but take a deep breath to relieve her inner anxiety.
Shinsou has never been to this base, or rather, her gloomy and cold personality means that she is unable to take the initiative to explore various areas.
There was no other way. After all, she had another account that she had to log into frequently. If "Shinso" was too active and someone discovered the pattern of switching between the two accounts, that would be a real disaster.
However, judging from the smell of blood and disinfectant in the air, it should be an inhumane place.
Chiyotani Hayato secretly gritted her teeth, wondering how many rat holes the organization had.
She was now being dragged forward by Gin's hand, while Vodka was left at the door to guard it, like a very pitiful tool. Oh no, the word "like" should be omitted.
At least Chiyoya Saori has never seen such a ruthless Code member. She is not even as useful as the weak Chianti...
But Vodka happened to be a frequently appearing supporting character - forget it, she couldn't understand it.
However, except for a few special ones, the main and supporting characters in this comic all have their own methods, so it is not easy for her to stand out.
After turning a corner, Chiyotani Hayori couldn't help but gasp for air as she felt a sharp pain in her right ankle. She gripped Gin even harder, causing the latter to give her a cold look.
Chiyoya Saori pretended not to see and stared at the floor.
Gin never held back on her, and he really hit her just now, but she had used a lot of force to control her strength.
Now I think, if I had known earlier I would have beaten him harder, at least pull out a few strands of his waist-length silver hair, for letting him do such a thing!
Chiyoya Saori cursed in her heart and switched to the forum to take a look at her own battle damage value.
——7%.
It's not high, it's within her acceptable range.
The customer service came out timidly, as if he was used to being confronted. He didn't try to sell me anything this time, but just asked, "Dear, don't you want some painkillers now? You must have hurt your bones, right?"
Nonsense, with Gin's strength, it's a blessing that her legs are not broken.
[It’s not the right time yet.] Chiyoya Saori gritted her teeth and said, [Shut up!]
Painkillers have a time limit, one tablet for every 2 points of high light, and each time only lasts for half a day. If she can't even bear this little pain, how much money will she have to spend later...
Thinking of the sunglasses with an adjustable degree of up to 10 o'clock, Chiyoya Saori's murderous aura became even stronger.
The moment the atmosphere around him changed, Gin naturally noticed it.
Shinsou's murderous aura was unsurprisingly focused on him, like a snake spitting out its tongue, ready to retaliate secretly at any time if its foot was stepped on.
But the silver-haired killer just sneered and didn't say much.
This woman's self-esteem is so strong that even though she looks like she can be defeated with just one hand, she always provokes him again and again.
I hope...she will still have the leisure time to do this.
147.
This is Shinsou's third year in the organization, but it is not her first time to enter an interrogation room. She had already gloriously entered an interrogation room when her background was exposed and the whereabouts of the secret information were still unknown.
However, she had not yet been affected by the side effects of the drugs, and her research value had increased a lot, so after just enduring two rounds of truth serum, she was gently handled and put into another project.
And now, she once again entered this cold and bloody scene, bringing with her a wolf that could barely stand, and a hungry wolf next to her staring at her with interest.
The lights in the room were very bright, bleak and blinding, and they fell from the ceiling, stretching people's shadows on the wall and turning them into hideous monsters.
The black-haired woman squinted her eyes slightly, as if she couldn't bear the glare of the light. She sat upright on the chair, casually put her hair that had fallen to her shoulders behind her head, and said indifferently, "What do you want?"
Gin slowly bandaged his still bleeding wrist with a bandage placed beside him and chuckled, "It's nothing."
"Shinso, although the reasons for your mission failure are reasonable, I still have a few questions that I need your explanation for."
Gin walked up to her, pushed the hair on her forehead back, and held her chin with one hand, forcing her to raise her head. Her grey eyes involuntarily widened a little, and became a little blurred.
"First, why would you choose to message Canadian Whisky when there were only two stops left in the program?"
"Second, why did that voice message happen to play automatically and be heard by the police academy students passing by?"
"Third, where were you when the police cadet was defusing the bomb?"
The man slowly and methodically enumerated the tiny doubts one by one, like a spider weaving a web, trying to completely catch its prey. His tone was calm, but the strength of his hands involuntarily increased.
Shinsou gave a slightly twisted smile, and said sarcastically, "Is this difficult to understand?"
"It's not difficult to understand, but there is no word 'coincidence' in my dictionary." Gin leaned down unceremoniously and forced his gaze into those eyes that were overflowing with tears under the stimulation of the light.
"After all, according to the information I received, Councillor Masaki Omori canceled his afternoon tea plan by accident, and before that, he received a call from the police. So who leaked the Canadian whisky operation?"
"Or did he carelessly let the information out again?"
Gin emphasized the word "careless" and carefully observed the expression of the man in front of him.
"What's the point of asking me?" The woman was breathless due to the severe pain in her jaw. She spoke word by word, "He is just a piece of trash!"
The woman's pale face was full of irritation and anger, but she suppressed it because of necessary procedures. Otherwise, she would have kicked Gin long ago.
I can't tell.
There is absolutely no sign of a flaw in his expression.
Gin doesn't think that Shinsou, who would get furious even if his sunglasses were stepped on, is a person who is good at disguise, but there are indeed too many doubts about this matter.
Especially the police academy student who looks 80% similar to Shinsou, why is he the one who caused the trouble?
At this moment, Gin no longer felt that Chiyodani Toru was a part of the Metropolitan Police Department's conspiracy. Too many similarities diluted the deliberate element, like a light exposed in the dark that could be seen from a long distance.
It does the police no good to expose such an excellent police officer under the nose of the organization.
His suspicion turned to another direction, such as the blood relationship between Shinsou and Chiyodani Toru.
If it was the blood bond that prevented the woman from doing the thing, Gin would not be surprised.
But...Such a weak and unrealistic emotion should not remain in Shinsou.
Thinking of the latter's great resilience and her killing moves without any murderous intent, Gin felt that if all her potential could be brought into play in a short period of time, it would surely be a great help to the organization.
"One last question then," he said, "You really don't know Chiyodani Toru?"
Shensuo sneered: "Why wouldn't I know him? After all, he is the one who will die at my hands."
"Don't evade the important point." Gin let go of his hand and said condescendingly, "But you will know the truth soon, so you can just keep talking nonsense for a while."
He tied the man to the chair roughly, making sure that he had no strength to struggle or resist, then walked to the side and took out the medicine that was refrigerated in the cabinet.
"Although that gentleman has entrusted all power to me, I think he should still retain some interest in you."
Gin put on gloves and introduced the medicine into the syringe. The light blue potion looked a little dreamy, like the surface of a shimmering lake.
But there is no doubt that too many victims and experimental subjects have drowned in this "lake water".
Chiyoya Saori subconsciously opened the forum interface, switched to her own warehouse bag, and found the [One-time Elimination Capsule] from a pile of messy items that could eliminate the effects of medications taken within three hours.
The potion she saw this time was different from the truth serum she had taken orally before, and Chiyoya Saori was not sure about its effects.
If it was just truth serum, she wouldn't be panicked at all. If it was something else...
"What is this?" She tilted her head and chose to ask directly.
Gin seemed to be somewhat pleased by her fearful question, and actually gave an answer: "It's just a truth serum. Those useless idiots in the organization wanted to develop something that could have a brainwashing effect, but now it seems that's all it is."
"Among so many examples, there is only one successful brainwashing case."
The man narrowed his green eyes and said jokingly, "There's about a 0.1% chance, Shinso, do you think you'll be the lucky one?"
Chiyoya Hayori: "..."
She still felt that she was quite lucky. After all, so many people died, but she could still get lucky and do another sit-up.
But - brainwashing.
It seems like there are some tricks to play with.
The moment Chiyoya Saori heard Gin say that the congressman had cancelled afternoon tea, she knew there must be a mole in the police force, otherwise the news would not have been delivered so quickly.
Her trust in the organization is not high, and it has even been brought to a low point because of Chiyodani Toru. It is almost impossible for her to get access to content in this area.
But if she could change her perspective and make the organization trust her completely...
【Customer service, I want to buy something. 】
Chiyoya Saori opened the mall in her consciousness.
The customer service came running out: [Okay, dear, take a look at what's available now. But if I say that you want to avoid brainwashing, you might as well take a look at this lucky clock pendant worth 1000 high light points. I guarantee that it will...]
Chiyoya Saori glanced at the products and finally found a "Bad Luck Signal" in a corner and clicked on it without hesitation.
Effect: For any probabilistic event you encounter within half an hour, you must choose the unlucky side.
It is still a two-point highlight value.
Customer Service: [??? Are your hands shaking?]
Chiyoya Saori: [Hehe, I guess I bought the wrong one, but never mind, it's all the same.]
customer service:【?】
The last time she bought the criminals was a bad luck talisman, which had the limitation of "wishing for nothing to happen", but it was not applicable in this situation.
This bad signal was also caught at a glance at that time. It seemed useless, but in this case, it seemed to be useful.
The main point is to see this silly customer service staff's defense break down, it's really quite interesting.
Otherwise, Chiyoya Hayo would never specifically call it before buying anything.
The only thing left to be coordinated is the [One-time Elimination Capsule]. This thing that was pulled out from the gashapon can completely resist the effect of this medicine.
Chiyoya Saori didn't take it in advance because she wanted to feel what it was like to be brainwashed and then act accordingly.
She turned on the forum's exclusive recording button and then told the customer service: "Give me the capsule after I've been completely brainwashed and hypnotized."
As an apparent assistant, customer service has no right to refuse if the host issues clear instructions and meets the requirements.
Brainwashing hypnosis is likely to expose forum information, so it is very reasonable for Chiyoya Saori to ask it for help.
The customer service could only agree with frustration.
The conversation in the mind only lasted a few seconds in reality.
From Gin's perspective, he could only see that the black-haired woman closed her eyes indifferently after learning that it was a truth serum, with an expression of doing whatever she wanted.
Feel confident.
He suddenly felt a little bored, but this boredom was quickly overwhelmed by anticipation.
The man came closer with a syringe in hand. Blue liquid swayed in the syringe, emitting bursts of cold air.
As the sharp cold light pierced his skin, drawing out strands of blood, he heard the woman's hoarse but smiling voice: "Actually, I am... the most unlucky person."
Pain accompanied by a feeling of numbness instantly spread throughout the body and rushed straight to the top of the head, but after taking a painkiller, it instantly disappeared.
Chiyotani Hayato closed her eyes and let her consciousness flow, but at the critical moment she locked all the secrets in her heart.
148.
The light blue liquid was quickly injected, leaving only a pinhole on the right arm, which was oozing bright red blood because there was no cotton swab to block it.
Gin looked up at the camera placed not far away. It would transmit all the information back for record keeping, and finally a copy would be handed over to the BOSS.
He was thinking about the questions he needed to ask later, but he didn't care about what Shinsou said.
The probability is one in a thousand, and so far only one experimental subject has succeeded. Although the results are encouraging, it still needs to be reinforced from time to time.
Instead of thinking about that, it would be better to think about how to make this stubborn woman spill all her secrets.
The drug flowed through her body along with her blood, and the black-haired woman who was restrained in the chair couldn't help but let out an uncontrollable groan.
She lowered her head, but her whole body was still shaking uncontrollably. Fine beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead and fell to the ground due to gravity.
Those pale and bony hands had been clenched into fists at some point, and were now firmly stuck on both sides of the chair. Strands of blood were flowing from the gaps between the fingers, leaving a row of neat and conspicuous spots.
Gin squatted down with interest and grabbed her neck again without any hesitation. The arteries were beating irregularly and rapidly, and the blood in them seemed to break through the skin, but was blocked by the pure black leather collar.
"You still don't want to scream?" He said softly, "You have good endurance."
The last time he and Vodka went to watch, the experimental subjects were howling like hell, and one even died from the pain.
Gin didn't know why that gentleman allowed such an important experimental subject like Shinsou to use this drug, but now it seems that this woman is worthy of being his...prey.
Another muffled groan came from the chest, and the blood that oozed from the lower lip bitten by the teeth slid down to the jaw, leaving a conspicuous mark on the pale and delicate cheeks.
The pair of grey eyes were tightly closed, but the eyelashes trembled involuntarily as the body convulsed.
Gin reached out his hand and wiped off the bright red, leaving only a faint mark. He glanced at the time and saw that the adaptation period for the drug was almost over.
From beginning to end, this guy only uttered two insignificant moans.
“Click.”
The pointer finally merged to the position where it should be, and Gin stood up slowly, holding the unlit cigarette in his mouth.
The woman in front of him looked like she was pulled out of the water. Her whole body was tied up tightly. There were purple marks on her where she was tied up by the ropes. Her face was pale, except for her lower lip, which was startlingly red from being bitten and bleeding.
She had stopped shaking and was entering a state of unconsciousness.
"Shinso," he said, smoking a cigarette, "open your eyes."
The black-haired woman obediently opened her eyes. Her hazy gray eyes, covered with a layer of smoky smoke, were stimulated by the light, and she couldn't help but shed tears. But she still opened her eyes wide and looked at the man in front of her.
It seemed to be trying hard to see something clearly, and also like the most obedient puppet.
"Shinso, is Chiyodani Toru related to you by blood?"
“…”
"Shinso, in this mission, do you have a mission to disrupt Canadian whiskey and pass on intelligence to the police?"
“…”
The woman's lips were slightly parted, but no sound came out. She seemed to be in a period of memory blank, and even her blurry eyes showed confusion.
She seemed to be trying hard not to blink and adhere to Gin's previous order, but she couldn't help but gasp.
Gin held the cigarette in his hand and quickly noticed that something was different.
This... doesn't seem like a case of just truth serum taking effect.
"Actually, I am the most unlucky person."
The woman's smiling words before being injected with the drug once again echoed in Gin's mind, causing him to feel surprised for the first time.
He stretched out his hand in front of the woman, feeling her eyelashes trembling nervously under his hand, and the wet tears stuck to his hand like blood.
Gin tried hard to remain calm, recalling the only case of successful brainwashing.
Except for deliberately inserted information.
Another side effect is that the person's deepest emotions can be reversed. For example, the thing they love the most can become the thing they hate the most; someone who loves blood can faint at the sight of blood...
This drug is still too unstable. It works well as a truth serum, but once it encounters another situation, things become complicated.
But all he could sense right now… was Shinsou crying.
Warm tears were still flowing out bit by bit, wetting her face, but still silently.
Is this the one thousandth special one?
Gin frowned and was about to say something when he felt that the movements of his men disappeared in an instant.
"Gin..." The woman opened her mouth and uttered the first words after the injection, "Gin."
"Shinso, what do you remember?" Gin frowned even more tightly, "Is there any memory loss?"
"Nothing is missing." She said dryly, "I remember everything."
Gin asked a few more questions, and the other party answered obediently without any abnormality.
This truth serum is only effective for forty minutes, but the brainwashing effect is permanent. Gin is not sure what is going on with her, so he can only speed up and identify the doubts that he needs to know first.
"Shinso, did you pass any information to the police during this mission?" he continued to ask bluntly.
The woman said without hesitation: "No."
Under the effect of the truth serum, the originally uncooperative woman became much more obedient, but not much useful information could be obtained.
Gin couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but at the same time, he had the thought that "it's better this way".
As the effect of the drug wore off, Shensou's voice became weaker and weaker, until it was almost inaudible.
Gin never put down the hand that was across her, but before he finished, he slightly turned his cheek to the side.
Then, the woman who looked extremely weak suddenly smiled. She tilted her head slightly, revealing her fragile neck, and gently placed a light kiss on Gin's fingertips.
"Gin." She called out again, like a girl whispering love words.
The killer with green eyes narrowed his pupils and showed a shocked expression for the first time.
