Chapter 269 The immortal witch, deliberately trying to please you.
One is the organization's future top killer.
One is the Thousand-Faced Witch who will organize the future.
What kind of sparks will be created when the two meet?
The answer is——
They are tired of each other.
That's right, Gin hated this woman from the first time he saw her.
The same is true for Vermouth.
When they were in the basement, neither of them cared much about each other's existence. There was no sympathy between them, they just knew that each other existed.
Gin assumed the man had died in the lab long ago, or had been released—either way, it had nothing to do with him. Lin Xi had said that in a long life, one only needs to remember the important things and not waste extra brain cells.
Unexpectedly, not only did he not die, he also got a code name like him.
Why does Lin Xi like to rescue people from experimental subjects so much?
Do you think the fledgling complex and the suspension bridge effect make them more likely to be loyal?
Does she think she is some kind of professional savior?
Gin was disgusted by his own thoughts.
The woman in front of him was as obedient as a rabbit in front of Lin Xi, but in reality, her mind was as cunning as the holes in a beehive. When facing Lin Xi, her expression could make Gin pinch a fly to death between his eyebrows.
And where Lin Xi couldn't see, those eyes were full of arrogance and indifference, and they made no secret of their subtle hostility towards Gin.
Although her abilities are far superior to those rubbish, it's still annoying to work with her.
After accurately hitting the target's heart, Gin put away his gun and thought expressionlessly.
He walked out of the room and happened to meet Vermouth who was coming out of another target room.
One has a blank expression, the other has a bright smile. The atmosphere seems harmonious but is actually solemn.
"I didn't expect you to be so quick." Vermouth said, shaking the empty syringe in her hand, "I just coaxed him to sleep in heaven, and you're fine."
The remaining liquid in the syringe was clear and transparent. Gin knew that it was not a sleeping pill, but a deadly poison that would kill instantly upon injection.
The suggestive words made him sneer.
"Only fools care about the means of completing a mission," Gin said. "I only care about efficiency. Using your soft-spoken killing method won't earn you a good rating from her."
The two looked at each other, and sparks flew between their eyes.
The standoff was broken by the noise coming from the corridor. The girl came running over like a cannonball, happily elbowing each of them with her arm, causing them to stagger.
"I've got it, guys," Lin Xi said excitedly, his arm resting on their shoulders. "The bombs are installed! I've set the timers, and they'll go off in sequence, with the first one to go off being the one on the electrical box. As soon as the power goes out here, we'll leave!"
The competitive atmosphere between the two suddenly burst like a balloon, extinguished by the girl's enthusiasm.
Gin frowned and began to reflect on why he was bickering with Vermouth in the corridor like a child; Vermouth quickly adjusted her state and followed suit: "I will follow your command, Boss."
"So, let's go to the banquet hall first, right?" Lin Xi pulled out two invitations he had just found from his pocket and stuffed one into each of their pockets. "Today isn't just a social dance. I heard there's going to be a special program later."
Vermouth and Gin looked at each other.
What show? Gin wanted to frown again. That was clearly...
Vermouth obviously also remembered what the special program of the ball was.
She was eager to stir up trouble: "Okay. But I think we need to find a quieter place. Coincidentally, I found this in the target's room—" She took out the access card for the second floor of the ballroom, "Want to go to the second floor to watch the show, Boss?"
"Okay, okay, Vermouth, you're so thoughtful!"
Gin's fingers moved, wanting to pull out the gun, but he held himself back.
...This woman is so annoying.
Their mission today was to kill people. They just needed to kill the two targets. The bomb was mainly used to destroy the bodies.
After killing someone, this woman still had the leisure to search the room, and she actually found something that Lin Xi was interested in.
Haha, deliberately trying to please.
"Since you want to watch it, don't waste time." He pressed the brim of his hat. "The show is about to start."
…
The lights dimmed.
Well-dressed men and women moved to the edge of the ballroom.
Lin Xi noticed that some people had left, mostly ladies.
She touched her chin in confusion, not paying much attention.
The bomb she had planted consisted of four parts.
The first part is in the electrical box.
When the bomb in the electrical box explodes, the lights in the entire building will go out.
The second part is on the top floor.
The explosion of a bomb would inevitably cause a tremor, dust and debris would fall from the ceiling, and people who heard the noise would scatter.
The third part is in the banquet hall.
Lin Xi just disguised himself as a waiter and stole a large lobster from the banquet hall that no one touched because people thought the eating manners were unseemly. He then replaced it with a bomb and hid it in the lobster's head.
As for where the lobster tails went?
Hmm...that's hard to guess.
The fourth part is in the lounge.
This is where Lin Xi and the others just came from.
When the first three waves of bombs have almost driven away everyone, the bomb in the lounge will explode, blowing up the bodies of the two targets and destroying the evidence.
Police will characterize the bombing as a terrorist attack for which no group has taken responsibility.
And using terrorist attacks to cover up murders... is an old tradition of their organization.
Lin Xi and the other two will slip away when the bomb explodes in the first part.
Then admire the exploding fireworks from afar.
Explosions are art!
She likes to cause trouble, hehe.
Of course, there was also a reason why she was extremely unhappy with the shareholders of Baijiu Pharmaceutical.
They were a group of old men of the same kind as Uramaru Renya, who bothered Lin Xi a lot when she first entered the dungeon.
Soft lights shone on the stage.
Lin Xi lay on the railing on the second floor, glancing down with interest.
Oh—a Kabuki performance.
The performers were all slim women, their faces pale with powder, their lips painted with bright red cherry lipstick.
After watching for a while, just when Lin Xi felt a little bored, they suddenly started taking off their clothes.
--Um? ? ?
When she realized what they were doing, Lin Xi reflexively covered Gin and Chris's eyes.
Block one on the left and one on the right.
"Minors are not allowed to watch!"
Gin: “…”
What's there to stop?
What's the difference between a woman's body and a man's body? They're all the same when they die.
Vermouth: “…Pfft.”
The boss is so cute.
Why didn’t you remember that they were minors when you killed them?
Lin Xi didn't care what they were thinking.
She was thinking about something else.
When the bomb explodes and the lights go out, they will probably be almost naked... How will they find their clothes and escape then?
The confusion on her face was so obvious that it took Gin two seconds to understand what was going on in her mind.
He snorted, pulled out his gun, and shot the chandelier above the auditorium.
The fragments of the chandelier rustled down and landed on the heads of the men who were gradually becoming excited on the ground, scaring them.
The Kabuki actors also stopped taking off their clothes.
While the people underground were still searching for the source of the gunshot, Gin put away his gun and said, "We can go now."
Lin Xi gave him a thumbs up.
Seeing the tacit interaction between the two, Vermouth secretly curled her lips.
Who just said, "I only care about efficiency"?
Is that how the Efficiency Man's gun is used? To shoot at chandeliers and scare people?
Haha, deliberately trying to please.
"Boss." She grabbed Lin Xi's wrist, "Let's go while they're looking for the source of the gunshots."
…
The subsequent missions progressed smoothly and everything went according to Lin Xi's script.
The gunshot to the chandelier was just a small episode.
After returning to the safe house, Lin Xi went straight to the kitchen.
Vermouth wanted to help her, but was driven out of the kitchen by Lin Xi.
"Get along well with Xiaoqin," she whispered. "You'll be colleagues from now on, and he'll still be your senior."
Vermouth agreed obediently while thinking to herself, what a bullshit senior.
After observing Gin for such a long time, Vermouth came to the conclusion that Gin was just a clingy little brat who had nothing but ability and good looks.
Considering that Karasuma Shigeharu also has a handsome appearance, Vermouth began to doubt the organization's selection criteria.
Could it be that he chose me because of my face?
She returned to the living room and was unsurprisingly met with a scoff from Gin.
"It seems you're the same in everything you do. You just like to do superficial work."
Vermouth smiled and shot back: "I would rather do something within my ability than do nothing like some people do."
There was a warm and pleasant atmosphere in the kitchen, but the living room across the wall was completely different - the two people almost started fighting when they looked at each other.
Gin narrowed his eyes.
"You still lack a formal self-introduction, Vermouth." He said lightly, "How did you get to know her?"
"Oh? Sorry, I don't think colleagues need to know more about each other than code names." Vermouth sat down across from him. "As for how I know her, hehe... that's a secret."
Secret. He hated the word.
If the secrets of Lin Xi made him full of desire to explore, the secrets from this woman's mouth would only increase his boredom.
"Do you think I'm interested in you?" Gin sneered, "Don't disgust me. I just want to confirm something about her."
"Since you've also obtained a code name, you should know the uniqueness of our organization, as well as her uniqueness."
Seeing the unnatural look that flashed across Vermouth's face, he sneered mercilessly, "You don't think she favors you so much that she only shows you those special things, do you?"
"Our organization doesn't have a name, but she likes to call it 'The Garden of Eden'. We are all a group of people rejected by time. Unless we actively seek death, the god of death will never reward us."
"But she's different. Time still favors her. And she's used to fooling time. Three months ago, she appeared as a researcher at Baijiu Pharmaceuticals, and has been with me ever since."
"She just said goodbye to me a week ago." Gin narrowed his eyes, "And then she showed up, and brought you with her."
"Since you want to show your affection, the most important thing is to figure out what she wants to do and what her current situation is. Don't waste time on unimportant things. She can't just look at you."
The latter half of the sentence was full of mockery.
Vermouth crossed her legs and calmly replied:
"Of course I know what's most important. Also, what did you say later? Are you reminding yourself?"
