Chapter 333 Ring "Don't tell me your name"
No matter who faced the tearful Lin Xi, no one had the heart to blame her anymore.
Besides, she was just afraid of being discovered by Karasuma Renya. What did she do wrong?
Miyano Shiho grabbed Lin Xi's shoulders and said, "I don't mean to blame you! From now on, you won't be alone anymore. I will always be with you. You can think of me as a friend, a friend who will never disappear!"
"I'm not an illusion, I really exist. It's just that they can't see me. Only you can see me. Don't cry, okay?"
"But, but, you just said you were ignoring me..."
"No, uh, I was just kidding. How could I possibly ignore you?"
"I'm so scared that you'll ignore me... Sister, please don't ignore me, okay? I'll be very good..."
"Even if you don't behave, I won't ignore you." Miyano Shiho hugged her, "Never! I came here just for you. Pat your head, don't cry. You're a very good person. In the future, you'll have many friends, you'll be free, and you'll have everything you want!"
"Really?" Lin Xi lowered his brows slightly, suppressing all his emotions, where she couldn't see him. "Will I really have everything I want?"
"Of course," Miyano Shiho said, "You're worth it. The guy who hurt you will pay the price one day. You won't lose your memory either. I brought a potion that can make you remember what you want to remember."
"Potion?"
"Ah." Miyano Shiho released her. "You still don't understand what that man—Karasuma Renya—is planning to do to you. He wants to implant his consciousness in your body and then take it away from you. To do this, he'll gradually weaken your consciousness. The brainwashing and drugs he administers to you every day are all preparation for this."
Lin Xi pursed her lips.
"You mean... he wants to take over? Take over?"
"That's right." Miyano Shiho nodded.
"But this body of mine originally belonged to him." Lin Xi's expression was a little bewildered. "If it was the body he wanted, why didn't he just implant his consciousness in it from the beginning?"
"Huh?" Miyano Shiho also began to feel bewildered. "It was originally his? What does this mean?"
She didn't know Lin Xi came from another world, nor did she know that Karasuma Renya had used over 4,000 resets to defy the plot. She thought Lin Xi was an experimental subject, and that Karasuma Renya wanted Lin Xi's body simply because she was a rare and high-quality experimental subject.
Vermouth never told her that Lin Xi was the boss she was loyal to, so Miyano Shiho thought that Karasuma Renya was the boss of the organization.
"I'm a completely independent experimental subject," Lin Xi said. "I was mixed with Mr.'s genes and cultivated. My number is 004753. Aren't you from the future? Don't you know that, sister?"
Miyano Shiho's eyes widened.
And so on.
Mixed with Karasuma Renya's genes?
No wonder she looks a bit like that man.
No, that's not the point.
Lin Xi was right. If she was truly bred by genes, then why wasn't her consciousness implanted from the beginning? Obviously, the younger she was, the weaker her consciousness was, making it easier for her to possess someone else's body.
She also has to keep taking medication and brainwashing her every day...
"Strange, I don't understand." Miyano Shiho murmured, "Why didn't he implant consciousness earlier? A twelve-year-old child, and a test subject, should be easy to possess... Are you really a test subject?"
"Why do you ask?" Lin Xi tilted her head. "I have a number on my body, right on my back."
The string of numbers on her back was like a stamp, firmly branded on her back, constantly reminding her of the humiliation she had suffered.
"But..." Miyano Shiho couldn't understand. "Forget it. Anyway, no matter what he wants to do, he won't succeed."
She held Lin Xi's hand lightly: "Shall we go?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is—"
"Shh." Lin Xi raised her index finger and shook her head: "Don't tell me your name. Or do you not want me to call you sister?"
Miyano Shiho was stunned.
Soon she remembered the cat that had been named.
Is Sister Lin afraid that after knowing the name, she will become like the cat?
"Okay," she said.
After leaving the stone pond, Lin Xi first went to the city, met with the old man, took medicine, clean clothes and bandages, and quickly returned to the cave.
Akai Tsutomu sat in his original position, his upper body naked, with hideous wounds across his waist and abdomen, which looked like they had been disinfected.
Lin Xi handed him the medicine and clothes: "I don't have much time. Now tell me everything you know about the organization."
Akai Tsutomu took over: "That will take a while to finish."
"Then tell me about Karasuma Renya."
"Karasuma Renya..." Akai Mutake paused. "He was the head of the aristocratic Karasuma family in Kyoto, Japan. Twenty-one years ago, he was murdered due to family unrest."
"Murdered twenty-one years ago?" Lin Xi repeated.
She couldn't help but start to wonder if she and Akai Tsutomu were talking about the same person.
The man who calls himself Mr. looks to be in his early thirties. He became the head of the family twenty-one years ago. How old is he?
And he was murdered...was his death faked?
"That's right." Akai Tsutomu tried to discern her knowledge from her expression, but failed. "The Karasuma family was the original sponsor of the organization, and as the head of the family, Karasuma Renya was the boss. But twenty-one years ago, there was a power shift within the organization, and the boss position changed hands. Karasuma Renya faked his own death to escape, and fled to Hong Kong with the remaining forces."
"He developed his business in Hong Kong, built a secret laboratory here, and cultivated some experimental subjects," Akai Tsutomu said. "You are one of them."
"You mean, I'm just an experimental subject?" Lin Xi smiled. "But I've never seen any other experimental subjects besides you. Moreover, the master treated me like his own child, taught me to read and write, and hired famous teachers to be my teachers. Even my name was given by the master. Moreover, the master is still young. I'm afraid his age doesn't match that of the person you mentioned?"
Miyano Shiho glanced at her.
That's not what this person said just now.
Akai Wuwu looked at her in surprise.
If she was truly loyal, why would she let him go and bring him clothes and medicine?
"There's no shortage of ways to achieve immortality in this world," Akai Tsutomu said. "As for you, honestly, I don't know what he meant by training you. Perhaps you really are the most special one."
Lin Xi sneered in his heart.
The most special one? She is indeed the most special one.
Because she is not from this world at all.
So, is it because she is a foreigner that Karasuma Renya values her so much?
And that organization... The current Karasuma Renya and the new leader of the organization are not the same person. If she uses the power of the organization to attack Karasuma Renya...
"Little friend, I've already told you about Karasuma Renya. Now, can you tell me where you heard the name Akai Shuichi?"
"Don't worry, it's not from Uramaru Renya." Lin Xi said.
She returned to the outside of the cave, sprinkled the powder along the way, dealt with the smell, and returned to Painter Ruan's courtyard.
Unexpectedly, I met Karasuma Renya right at the door.
His eyes were sinister: "Xiaoxi. Where have you been?"
Lin Xi raised his hand naturally, holding a hare by its ear: "I saw a hare in the mountains and hunted it back."
The hare's throat had been cut and bled, and the strong fishy smell and blood of the beast covered up the smell on Lin Xi's body.
Karasuma Renye, who has a mysophobia, frowned.
"Go pack up," he said, "and come back to the house with me."
"Yes." Lin Xi nodded, put the rabbit in the Ruan family's kitchen, went to the study and said something to Master Ruan, then packed up and left the yard.
After returning to the house, Karasuma Renya took her to the second room again, injected her with drugs and made her lie in the brainwashing machine.
After coming out of the second room, Lin Xi drank a pot of wine with a pale face and walked into his own room.
"Are you okay? Karasuma Renya hasn't been implanted with the system yet, so I can't turn the things I'm carrying into physical form." Miyano Shiho placed her hand on her forehead, "Otherwise, you wouldn't have to work so hard..."
Lin Xi wrapped the eavesdropping device on the cabinet with a quilt, then pouted:
"not good."
"What?"
"I said I'm not okay." She sniffed, "I need a hug to get better."
She usually behaves very maturely, and only now, when she pouts in grievance, does she show some childishness.
Miyano Shiho was in a daze: this person was so calm and restrained in her daily actions that people almost forgot that she was only a twelve-year-old child.
She hugged Lin Xi: "Hug, hug, hug."
Lin Xi quietly enjoyed the almost empty embrace. This ghost, which only she could see, had brought her great satisfaction recently, but... it wasn't enough.
"Sister, can you tell me about the future?" she asked in a low voice.
"I also want to tell you everything, but..." Miyano Shiho was embarrassed.
Before leaving, Noah told her that she couldn't drastically change the plot of the past, otherwise it might cause a disruption in the timeline...
If Sister Lin knew now what she would do in the future, would it create dangers for her that would not have occurred otherwise?
"It's not about me." Lin Xi said, "I want to know about you."
"You haven't told me yet what our relationship will be like in the future? What will your career be? Will we live well in the future?"
Miyano Shiho smiled.
The child version of Sister Lin is so cute.
She poked Lin Xi's cheek and said, "We are family and friends. As for my profession, well... although I haven't officially worked for any company, I should be considered a pharmacist. In the future, we have experienced some minor difficulties, but they have all been resolved. As long as we can successfully get through these nine years, you will be able to see the real me!"
