Chapter 98 Useless Snacks
"I'm all done!" Bertrand skipped down the stairs and headed towards Gin, who was sitting on the sofa smoking.
Gin glanced at him, extinguished his cigarette, and stood up. "Let's go."
"Huh? You won't let me eat?" Bertrand followed behind him with a miserable face.
"The vodka is ready for you."
Gin casually remarked.
Bertrand happily trotted after him, "Oh! Fu-chan is so nice!"
After getting into the car and arriving at the experimental base, Vodka handed the steamed buns and milk he had bought to Bertrand.
While eating, Bertrand followed Gin to the room where Sherry had been previously held captive.
With his cheeks puffed out, Bertrand looked around the room, which looked rather oppressive.
The handcuffs that had been binding Shirley lay forlornly on the ground, while Shirley herself seemed to have vanished into thin air.
The room had only one ventilation duct besides the tightly closed door.
However, the ventilation duct was only wide enough for a small child to pass through.
Even someone as small as Bertrand couldn't fit inside, let alone Sherry.
Bertrand: ? I'll kill you! (crossed out)
After finishing her milk, Bertrand licked her lips with the tip of her pink tongue and glanced at the person in charge of guarding Sherry with an arrogant and disdainful look.
He deliberately used a cloyingly sweet, boyish voice to say something full of malice and nasty: "You guys can't even protect a girl who can't even kill a chicken, you're all so useless~"
The members hung their heads, none of them daring to utter a sound.
Bertrand walked into the room with his hands on his hips, the sound of his shoes hitting the floor clearly audible in the quiet room.
He walked around for a while, finally stopping in front of the ventilation duct. "If we rule out the possibility that she left through the door, then she can only have left from here."
“But…isn’t this ventilation duct only big enough for a small child to pass through?” one of the people in charge of inspecting the site asked cautiously.
Bertrand glanced at him, snorted, and didn't speak kindly to them at all, "Stop questioning me, you bunch of useless idiots aren't as good as me."
"What are your thoughts?" Gin looked at the arrogant and malicious baby-faced man, ignoring his actions, and asked in a calm voice.
Bertrand placed his hands together in front of his chin, tilted his head, and smiled as he spoke, "Hey, Koto-chan, what if Sherry had secretly hidden some medicine intending to commit suicide by taking it—and it just so happens that the medicine she hid might turn her into a child? After all, there are many drugs whose effects are not even clear, right?"
Gin narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this, then turned to Vodka and coldly ordered, "Investigate. Whether it's an adult or a child, don't let anyone who resembles her escape. Once you find her... kill her immediately."
"Yes, brother." Vodka nodded and turned to do it.
Shrugging, Bertrand ignored the room and grabbed Gin's sleeve. "Hey Gin-chan, let's go check out Sherry's lab again~"
Gin glanced at him, understood his thoughts, and nodded.
Bertrand happily dragged him to the laboratory.
APTX-4869 had been a project that Shirley had been in charge of, but research on the drug was suspended when she decided she didn't want to continue.
After glancing at the laboratory, Bertrand clicked his tongue and walked straight to the computer, even instructing Gin to collect all the items related to Drug A.
