Chapter 78 Dark Clouds, Dark Clouds, Go Away - Spinning in Circles 004753...
Miyano Shiho took the candy apple from Lin Xi's hand.
She had often seen these candied apples on the street when she was taken shopping by her sister.
This is done by washing the apples and coating them with melted rock sugar. Sometimes they are sprinkled with chopped nuts and colored sugar grains.
She had seen it but had never tasted it - she always felt that the sugar shell and apple juice would taste weird, so every time her sister asked her if she wanted it, she would shake her head.
The crystal clear candied apple in his hand, which was stuck with a bamboo stick, looked particularly delicious.
My sister said that we shouldn’t waste food. Isn’t it a shame to throw it away like this?
Xiao Shibao's heart began to waver.
Then she saw the girl in front of her, as if to prove that the candy apple was not poisonous, took out an identical one from somewhere and took a bite.
The candy shell was crushed by the tiger's teeth with a crunching sound, and the juice splashed everywhere. The girl's face showed a satisfied expression as if she had been fed.
It seemed as if the candied apple in her hand was really a rare delicacy.
That expression reminded Shiho Miyano of the hamsters she raised as a child. When she fed them, the hamsters would puff up their cheeks and rub their faces, trying to collect as much delicious food as possible and hide it in their cheeks.
Each time she had to lift it upside down and poke its face to force it to spit out the hidden food.
But hamsters have a very short lifespan. The little hamster died after only two years.
Life and death are determined by fate. Sometimes she felt that her sister and she were just pets kept by the organization. No, it was worse than that. We were just lab rats, whose only purpose was to be locked in cages and squeezed dry until the day we died.
Thinking about it this way, the strange girl who suddenly appeared in front of her might be a rare adventure in her life as a little white mouse, just like Alice chasing the big white rabbit that suddenly appeared and fell into the rabbit hole. Maybe she will have a strange and interesting dream soon.
A strange urge arose in Miyano Shiho's heart, driving her to take a small, harmless adventure in her calm and depressing daily life - for example, to taste the candied apple in her hand.
She thought so and did so. The sour and sweet juice and sweet sugar burst in her mouth, and the taste was surprisingly good.
She took a bite, chewed it, and when she looked up, she met Lin Xi's smiling eyes.
Her green eyes looked at him intently, as if they were not strangers meeting for the first time, but rather family with whom they had formed a close bond...
It's baffling, Miyano Shiho thought. If such a thing really existed, it must have happened in another time and space.
"Where did you run from? I'll take you back." Miyano Shiho asked calmly.
If she sneaks out, we must send her back quickly before she is discovered.
This experimental subject does not look like a low-level experimental subject. He is neatly dressed, looks energetic, moves normally, and has no obvious external injuries on his body. He should be a high-level experimental subject with a certain degree of freedom of movement.
And you know her name, I guess you saw it from somewhere?
I'll ask this guy later where he stole the candy apples from...
Hmm, it’s delicious.
"Oh, the office, it's over there in the corridor." Lin Xi pointed behind her. Her thoughts were completely disconnected from Miyano Shiho's. She was still thinking about her ice cubes and asked, "Shiho, you should know where the kitchen is, right?"
Miyano Shiho: ...
This guy has no sense of propriety! How can you just call someone by their first name? And in such an intimate way!
Only her sister called her that!
Humph, you can’t bother with a drugged experimental subject.
"What are you going to do in the kitchen? This," she said, raising a half-eaten candy apple in her hand, "is this something you took from the kitchen?"
Lin Xi blinked: "Hey, didn't I just say that I bought it at the snack street?"
And I bought it with you after you grew up... and then shrunk again.
"This place is over 20 kilometers from the nearest snack street, and it takes quite a while to drive. By the time you bring it here from the snack street, the candied apples will have melted."
Miyano Shiho said this and took another bite.
Lin Xi: Oh, Xiao Ai is so cute when she is serious.
She laughed foolishly for a while, looked at the end of the corridor, and directly took Miyano Shiho's hand and led her behind the wall.
Miyano Shiho was startled, her body subconsciously tensed up, then quickly relaxed.
She sensed no ill will.
"Shh..." Lin Xi put her finger in front of her lips, "Look over there, is that the person following you?"
Miyano Shiho looked over and saw the men in black.
They were dressed all in black, which made them stand out from the researchers in white coats.
She frowned in disgust.
She disappeared from their sight for just a moment, and then they started looking for her everywhere.
That was someone sent by the organization to follow her. Of course, it was called protection, but in fact it was surveillance.
Actually, it wouldn't be a big deal if they found out, but there was an experimental subject behind her.
She didn't want this guy to be punished because of her.
We have to send her back first.
"Come with me."
Miyano Shiho took Lin Xi's hand in return and walked into a small door nearby. After the footsteps of the man in black faded away, she brought Lin Xi out and walked towards the back of the corridor with a clear goal.
She knew that was the area where the organization stored experimental subjects.
She didn't have permission to enter yet, but she often saw lively test subjects coming out for physical examinations—yes, lively. The best among them would be trained to become organizational killers, just like in the novels.
Of course, they may also need to use a series of auxiliary means such as hypnosis and brainwashing to make them obedient.
This is all Shiho Miyano knows about the experimental subjects.
Because of her outstanding talent in drug research, she has attracted much attention despite her young age. While learning more about the organization's underground research, she has also lost her freedom - the two men in black are proof of this.
She was a little anxious. She held Lin Xi with one hand and held the candy apple tightly with the other hand. She ran to the experimental area in a hurry, wanting to quickly "return" Lin Xi to the researcher in the experimental area. As a result -
"Isn't she here?" Miyano Shiho was a little surprised. She turned her head and looked at Lin Xi with suspicion again.
No way, this guy's name isn't on the list of experimental subjects... Where did she come from? She's wearing a white coat, but no name tag, and she's saying such nonsense... Could she not be an experimental subject, but some poor social animal researcher driven crazy by work pressure?
"Um, we don't have any test subjects with red hair and green eyes. Ms. Miyano, do you remember her test number?"
Miyano Shiho: ...
How would she know this guy's number?
At this moment, the previously silent Lin Xi turned to the researcher who was searching for information: "Really? Search again. I remember my number is 004753."
"Oh," the researcher pushed his glasses and tapped on the keyboard, "It is indeed the experimental subject..."
The girl with red hair and green eyes appeared on the screen.
It's strange. There are only so many experimental subjects in total. The girl's characteristics are so obvious, how could I not remember such a person?
Is it because of staying up late that memory loss occurs?
The researcher thought about this and touched his half-bald head.
"004753, as an S-rated experimental subject, the organization should have assigned you a mission after leaving here," the researcher said. "The organization's mission is confidential, and I can't find it here."
Miyano Shiho looked up at the red-haired girl beside her, only to see her bright eyes turning to her again.
"Little...Shiho," Lin Xi whispered, "Let me be your bodyguard, okay? I can knock those two men in black following you away with just one punch. I've been practicing in the lab for two and a half years, and I can sing, dance, rap, and kill people."
"You just heard it. My rating is S, the best among the experimental subjects. Oh, and I'm also pretty, pleasing to the eyes." The girl touched her face, lifted her curly red hair, and winked at Miyano Shiho. "You can't choose to suffer losses, and you can't choose to be deceived."
Miyano Shiho: ...
I have never seen anyone eager to promote their useful experimental subjects.
"Is this your mission? To approach me and monitor me?" she asked bluntly.
Somehow, being spied on by the red-haired girl made her more angry than being spied on by the two men in black.
The girl's face suddenly fell. "If you don't want me, I'll be assigned to someone else. I don't know what they'll do to me then. As an experimental subject, I can't resist..."
Lin Xi knew exactly how to get the wary Miyano Shiho to accept her. "I'm here to protect you" would definitely be considered a hypocritical lie, so it would be better to just admit it and then act pitiful to show that she had no choice.
The experimental subject information that the researcher had just found was all input by her secretly tapping the screen with her hands behind her back and asking Noah to enter it on the spot.
If she doesn't have an identity, she will create one. Anyway, her dear friends all know what kind of person she is and will not expose her.
Miyano Shiho was shaken.
She hesitated: "If I don't choose you, will you be assigned to someone else?"
If you think about it carefully, the girl is indeed more acceptable than the two big men in black.
Moreover, he is indeed her best choice.
No wonder she was so unscrupulous in getting close to her. Miyano Shiho thought of the candy apple she had just eaten and thought, at least that candy apple was not easy to get.
Lin Xi nodded.
Miyano Shiho sighed like a little adult.
"I can't help you. Come on—hey, wait!"
Before she could finish her words, Lin Xi picked her up and spun her around in the air.
"Put me down now! You bastard!"
Seriously, she wanted to take back what she had just said!
