Chapter 109
So, the next day.
Bai Yun waited there as agreed, carrying a huge musical instrument case on her back, and at the same time she was thinking in her mind how she could cleverly pretend to be a fake child.
First of all, as a pseudo-child, his essence is an adult.
Uchiha Sasuke's personality varies greatly at different stages of his life.
According to Bai Yun's hint to Gojo Satoru not long ago, the current "Uchiha Sasuke" should be a male mother uncle who has become smaller for some unknown reason...
But before that, Bai Yun always thought that "Uchiha Sasuke" was the reincarnation of modern Indra who was shrunk by the Black Organization and had a blood feud.
——Because this setting is the least troublesome.
But when Gojo Satoru asked him yesterday, he was a little lax because the main storyline was progressing well and Bai Yun was close to completing his mission and leaving the world. The bond between the Second Uchiha and their best friend was really strong...
So when Bai Yun got emotional, he forgot about this matter.
This also results in a situation where all kinds of settings are mixed together, and no matter which side you go on, it feels like there is a discord.
Bai Yun wiped his face fiercely, trying to fabricate a script that turned the bug into a legend.
——Or just take it one step at a time.
At this time, a commercial vehicle stopped quietly beside Bai Yun. He broke away from his thoughts and got into the car. Then he found that the person sitting in the driver's seat was the disguised Vermouth.
When the other party saw that Bai Yun was just a child, there was well-concealed scrutiny and malice in his eyes.
Vermode is one of the few people who knows that drug A can turn people back into children. He had previously tried to take action against Haibara Ai in order to avoid the possibility of Conan Edogawa being implicated and exposed.
Bai Yun, who was just trying to show off that she was a fake child: "..."
He calmed down and comforted himself: It doesn't matter if I wait a little longer. I will still have enough time to start performing after getting off the car.
Bai Yun made this decision, but Bermode did not intend to let him go so easily.
She started to walk slowly, and casually asked, "Did you do all this?"
Bai Yun tilted his head at the other party's signal.
With the help of the science BUFF, the road has been almost cleared and is open to traffic again.
But there are still some charred marks on the road, and from time to time young people who heard the news come over to watch the show take pictures everywhere.
“You are really young and capable.”
Vermouth chuckled and hinted, "Even if Gin was your age, he wouldn't be able to do this."
Bai Yun interrupted, "It doesn't matter what happens."
Bermode observed him for a long time through the rearview mirror, then smiled: "It seems that you know exactly what you want to do."
Neither of them spoke for a while. The car drove away and finally stopped slowly at an abandoned factory.
Bai Yun jumped out of the car with the violin case on his back, and followed Bermode to quickly find Gin, who had dark circles under his eyes.
This model worker of the organization has not slept all night and has been busy since she separated from Bai Yun yesterday.
He first asked Fūya Zero to produce corresponding evidence to prove the authenticity of the information he said, and then arranged for Vodka to investigate the background of "Uchiha Sasuke".
The former was stuck in a stalemate because Rei Furuya evaded the issue by saying that he had secretly hidden something before being caught.
The latter also found nothing, which was understandable considering the other party's status as a child soldier.
Gin thought about it for a while, and because the situation with Bourbon was indeed no small matter, he finally went to report to the boss.
When the boss heard that the gears of his destiny that had been stuck for half a century were finally starting to turn, his blood pressure went out of control for a moment.
At this time, Karasuma Renya could only lie on the hospital bed and rely on various instruments to communicate with the outside world.
Every day he could feel his body aging, like a black and white TV with poor contact. Occasionally, he even felt that he could hear the sound of snow.
This feeling of pressure made Karasuma Renya more and more anxious, so she completely lost her composure when facing Gin's report this time.
Karasuma Renya orders Gin to confirm whether what Bourbon said is true at all costs.
If it's true, then Bourbon can give him anything he wants. If this is just an excuse made up by the other party to avoid punishment...
Karasuma Renya didn't speak for too long. His hoarse voice seemed to come from hell: "I want him to live a life worse than death--!"
Gin took on the task, and later when he wanted to ask "Uchiha Sasuke" how to deal with it, Karasuma Renya was already too emotional, so he waved his hand and refused to talk anymore.
Just like that, all matters concerning "Uchiha Sasuke" were decided by Gin, and he did not change his previous idea - as long as it was useful, it would be fine.
At the same time, Gin also knew that "Uchiha Sasuke" would definitely not refuse any task assigned to him, no matter how dirty or tiring the job was, as long as it could lead to his advancement, he would take it on without hesitation.
That's what "Uchiha Sasuke"'s eyes told him.
"When are you leaving?"
Gin, whose train of thought was suddenly interrupted, glanced at Bourbon, who was starting to annoy him again, and replied coldly, "After someone picks up the phone."
Gin doesn't trust Bourbon, and Bourbon obviously doesn't like Gin, who does not hide his suspicion and disgust. He even points out explicitly or implicitly that he doesn't want Gin to get directly involved in this intelligence.
They had been in a stalemate for a whole night, and considering the seriousness of the matter, Gin made a rare compromise and let Vermouth bring the people here instead of sending them directly to brush up their performance.
Furiya Ling raised an eyebrow: "Who? Vermode?"
Gin didn't answer directly.
Because even though Vermouth will come, the one he really places his hopes on is actually "Uchiha Sasuke".
Bai Yun came in at this time, and the moment Jōgōu Rei saw him, his expression became a little out of control.
In order to seek protection, Conan Edogawa took the initiative to reveal his true identity to him, so Furuya Rei is also one of the people who knows the special effects of drug A.
He resisted the urge to look in Gin's direction, and instead frowned deliberately, asking in disgust, "Why did you bring a child with you?"
Gin explained casually, "It's a disguise for you."
"You walked out in public yesterday. You don't think you can walk out like this today without getting noticed, do you?"
Although he was suspicious of Bai Yun's identity, he didn't want to drag any children into this, so he asked back, "Wouldn't it be enough to just change your appearance?"
"You don't care whatsoever."
Gin lit a cigarette and laughed, "But if you do get caught again, he'll be responsible for getting the stuff back."
Bai Yun listened quietly to them arranging her affairs, pretending that she was just a beautiful decoration without any emotions.
Seeing Bai Yun's appearance, Fōtani Ling felt that the other party must be no simple person, so he stopped refusing and planned to observe him carefully in the next mission.
So after finally driving Gin away, Bai Yun and the others finally dressed up as a family of three.
Due to time constraints, they did not have time to make a complete set of human skin masks and could only make minor adjustments based on the original ones.
Because "Uchiha Sasuke" was the only one who was not famous, Vermouth simply slightly adjusted his own and Furuya Rei's facial features towards his, and then changed their conspicuous skin color and the deep facial features as foreigners.
In other people's families, children look like their parents, but in this fake family, the rule is completely reversed.
What's even more outrageous is that, I don't know if all beautiful people look alike, but after putting on a black wig and colored contact lenses, Vermouth actually looks a bit like Uchiha Mikoto.
Countless images flashed through Bai Yun's mind uncontrollably; they were memories of "Uchiha Sasuke".
The matching degree climbed uncontrollably and rapidly, and the picture became more and more real, until the once lively mother collapsed to the ground, with a pool of blood beneath her that swallowed her like black oil in the moonlight.
Bai Yun felt a familiar force surging towards his eyes. In order to avoid glaring at his Sharingan, he quickly lowered his head.
But this obvious abnormality was not ignored by the other two smart people present. Vermouth paused as he was dressing Furutani Rei, and no longer dressed her roughly as he had originally planned, but instead dressed her up in a meticulous manner.
Thus, a 60% lookalike of Uchiha Itachi was born.
Bai Yun: “…”
If what surged up in his heart when he saw "Uchiha Mikoto" before was sadness and pain, now it was mixed with hatred.
The vest itself was in the stage after the clan was exterminated, but Bai Yun himself knew the inside story clearly. Reason and emotion collided and mixed together violently at this moment, and finally turned into inexplicable soreness in the eye sockets.
Whatever the truth is, at this moment, "Uchiha Sasuke" was indeed as helpless as a seven-year-old child.
Furutani Rei was silent for a while, but Vermode's heart was hard.
It is common sense that if you want to obtain intelligence, you must first break down the other party's psychological defenses.
The same is true when cracks appear in the disguise and it is necessary to seize the opportunity and pursue the victory.
So, on the way to get something, Bai Yun was trying hard to calm himself down and did not dare to look up at all, for fear of seeing the two people around him. It was not until he was stopped by a passerby that he realized something was wrong.
This is a technology exhibition, and because of their looks, Bai Yun and his friends have been staring at their staff coming up since they entered the exhibition hall.
"Welcome everyone to visit. We have many interesting projects here. If you are interested, you can try them."
At this point, she stole a glance at Bai Yun and said, "For example, the equipment we have here can simulate what our guests will look like ten years from now."
Her tone was very enthusiastic, and she was almost saying: Show me what this little beauty will look like in ten years.
"I see. This is really advanced technology."
Bermode, who had come for this purpose, exchanged a few pleasantries with the staff, then turned to look at Bai Yun, as if to seek his opinion: "What do you think? Do you want to try it?"
As far as she knew, people who were shrunk by drugs would not be recognized by this machine.
Although it is simple and crude, it is still a very useful method of distinction.
Likewise, it doesn't matter if she's rejected. As the Thousand-Faced Witch, Vermouth is a skilled master of disguise. Her mastery of micro-expressions allows her to get the answer she wants without the need for a direct answer from "Uchiha Sasuke".
After hearing this, Bai Yun slowly raised his head and looked at the instrument with a slightly confused look, somewhat hesitant.
In fact, logically speaking, this is indeed a good opportunity to hint that "Uchiha Sasuke" is actually an adult.
But if you really test it, it feels somewhat inconsistent with the character setting.
At this time, "Uchiha Sasuke" was not in the mood to play.
So in the end, Bai Yun remained completely silent to express his refusal.
"Really? Never mind."
After bidding farewell to the staff with what seemed like regret, the expressions of Vermode and Furuya Rei both turned cold.
"Uchiha Sasuke" just hesitated. But that hesitation was neither from not wanting to know what he would look like in ten years, nor from fear of exposing his identity.
For a moment it was obvious that he wanted to try it.
But in the end, something stopped him.
In his mind, Rei Furiya simulated countless descriptions, and finally retained the one that he felt was the most vivid.
Just like "Uchiha Sasuke" knows his future, but also has a bit of unrealistic imagination about that future.
