Chapter 136 Thirty Cats

Fūya's pupils trembled.

Today he was indeed acting towards the goal of investigating the specific intelligence of the drug, but he has achieved his goal without doing anything yet.

First of all, the truthfulness of the words spoken by that witch with superb acting skills has to be discounted. What's more, the person asking the question is the store manager. Even if it is Vermouth, it is impossible for him to make up a lie to deceive his future boss, right?

The night vision of cats and dogs is several times that of humans. Even though they were in a pitch-black suitcase, the three of them could see each other's changes in expression. The two undercover investigators simultaneously had blank expressions on their faces, but Conan subconsciously revealed an expression of 'as expected'.

Indeed, Shirley is the main developer of the drug, and she certainly knows what she is researching. So it is not surprising that she would tell Conan, a victim who suffers the same disease as her, everything in private.

Doesn't this just prove that what Bermode said is very likely true?

At this time, Kougu also recalled how his boss introduced him when he first came to him: a psychedelic drug that violated human nature and was likely to disrupt social order.

With this connection, turning humans into their peers or turning uncontrollable cats into dogs is indeed contrary to human nature and disrupts order.

But it is so different from what they imagined, right?!

After calming down, the public security elite saw the same shock on the calm face of their old enemy as they did at the moment.

From the information currently known, it is still unknown whether the drug can turn ordinary people into the same kind as them. Another effect has indeed been achieved, and it has also shortened the ages of Conan and Shirley.

Emotional organizations have been studying for half a century how to turn all the cats in the world into dogs?

The Siamese cat in the suitcase gasped.

It's really a far-reaching and evil goal... Even if this kind of thing is reported back to the public security, he will immediately be suspected of being instigated by the organization!

Unlike the two adults who learned this information for the first time, Conan had already been bombarded with information from Shirley. Bermode's words only made him more certain of the truth of what Shirley said and more determined to stop the organization's actions.

The store manager, who was lying on the suitcase handle, obviously had no idea what kind of information shock the cats and dogs he brought were experiencing. He understood the ultimate goal of the organization after a slight change of his thinking.

The vast majority of creatures in this world will reject the "special existence" around them. People like them who are influenced by the world consciousness and have two forms will suddenly go from being important figures in the world to being the group that is naturally excluded.

The simplest, crudest and most effective way to resolve this situation is to reverse the situation on both sides, just like what the organization wants to do. As long as people of the same kind are no longer rare, pure humans will become rare instead. Then they will naturally no longer be excluded.

However, this approach only shifts their crisis onto others and does not really solve the problem.

The organization's ideas, or rather, Karasuma Renya's ideas, are worthy of being called that. Even though Karasuma Renya in this world has no life on his hands, he is essentially a cold-blooded egoist.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with being selfish, but once a person wants to benefit himself by harming others, this person is doomed to failure in the future.

Even if Akae had not come to this world on a mission that month, Conan and the others would have certainly prevented Karasuma Renya from achieving her goal. In a sense, from the moment the old man wanted to change the status of his peers through drugs, he had been making one wrong step after another.

And regarding the actions that Karasuma Renya took for that purpose, Akae Nazuki also had a lot to complain about, the first thing that came to mind was...

"Grandpa showed me the internal documents that he needed to review." The store manager looked at Bermode with an incomprehensible look. "The group has deep interests tied to political parties in various countries and circles. It also has many partners and supporters in the government. Moreover, the group is richer than the three Suzuki companies combined, not to mention that the research department can even develop such an 'unscientific' drug."

"With so many chips already in hand, why choose to spend another fifty years researching that drug? You could have used your peers to infiltrate these forces from the beginning, subtly making everyone accept their existence and extinguishing the voices of dissent... You could have even chosen a more violent method, as long as your goal was achieved."

The store manager's attitude was still so gentle, and his voice was filled with an indelible smile. He looked at Vermouth with his clear and innocent eyes and asked puzzledly: "In that case, wouldn't it be fifty years earlier than now to build the 'paradise' you want?"

The organization has been established for more than a hundred years, a whole century? All it has done is to shift the risk, but it has been paying taxes for a century, and its most egregious behavior has only been in the gray area.

Although Chijiang Nayue knew that the organization's approach could maximize the guarantee that if the goal was really achieved, they could get a stable paradise life more quickly...but you all want to change the human beings of the world, why do you still have to be so disciplined and law-abiding? Don't conform to the rules of this world where animals think less than humans in strange places!

The smile on Bermode's face froze.

She seemed not to hear clearly what Kaluya said... No, she actually heard it clearly, but was Kaluya serious?

Vermode remembered that the child had only been awake for more than two months, and suddenly realized: I really shouldn't let the child go out to roam freely! In such a short time, what on earth has Kalua learned from humans?

Five minutes later, Akae Nayue was sitting alone in the lounge, staring at the book that Bermode had hurriedly handed to him before leaving the laboratory.

The cover of the book reads: "Constitution of Japan".

Chijiang Nayue fell into deep thought.

—

After Vermode left, the store manager had no plans to stay in the lounge any longer. He figured that he could take advantage of this time when no one was bothering him to go to Shirley's office and get the information he wanted.

However, he still remembered the friends he had packed in his suitcase. Bermode and the others probably thought he had brought back something confidential, so they all politely did not ask. But he certainly could not bring them with him when he went to the laboratory.

After all, the suitcase would be out of his sight for a while, and if someone wanted to check if he had brought back any dangerous items...

Are two gorillas in cat and dog form and a little detective who can use a chandelier to kick an osprey considered dangerous goods?

Fortunately, someone helped the store manager make a decision before he was about to communicate with his colleagues in the suitcase who were shocked and speechless.

Someone knocked on the door of the lounge, and after the manager asked him to come in, a familiar person appeared in front of him.

It's rum.

Yes, it seems that he has never seen Rum since coming to this world.

The main reason is that Rum was said to have been on a business trip abroad for the past two months and had just returned to China not long ago. Before today, the two of them were still in a situation of "only hearing of him but not seeing him in person". This can be said to be their first meeting.

The store manager theoretically didn't know what Rum looked like, so he just looked at the person at the door, tilted his head slightly, with a confused look on his face, and then his eyes passed over Rum's shoulder and saw the person behind Rum who was blocked by the door.

The store manager suddenly realized.

"Good afternoon, Kalua." Rum smiled and greeted the store manager.

"Good afternoon." The store manager yawned and responded without taking it seriously, "Mr. Rum and Mr. Gin."

Hearing the latter title, not only Rum froze, but also the three in the suitcase. On the other hand, Gin, who was addressed as such, looked like he was used to it, and his expression did not change at all.

The store manager felt a trace of regret.

He actually wanted to shout Uncle Rum and Uncle Gin to see if the two men's expressions would collapse at the same time, but he didn't want to be taken advantage of in this way for the time being, so he could only change his words regretfully.

Rum was indeed the second-in-command of the organization. He quickly recovered from the shock brought by Kaluya. He cleared his throat and stated his purpose: "The boss asked you to go with me to the action team's department first. It won't be too late to get a physical examination after you come back."

Action team? The action team in this cat world?

The store manager's eyes lit up.

It has to be said that Chi Jiang Na Yue was also really moved. He was anxious to know what the action team had done to be targeted by official organizations such as the public security department since they had not violated any laws or regulations.

Even he couldn't directly infer the answer to this question just by looking at it!

So, the store manager, who had moved to another place with Rum with great interest, was now standing outside the one-way glass window. His expression remained unchanged on the surface, but he was actually staring blankly at the things inside.

"Is this the interrogation room? What is that?" the store manager tried to argue.

Rum smiled and introduced him: "That's another undercover agent that Gin caught when Lei defected not long ago."

To be precise, the place that Rum took the store manager to visit was the interrogation room and the detention room within the group, but because of the presence of Gin, the head of the action team, it was located on the floor of the action team.

Inside the suitcase, Akai and the other two all looked shocked: What did the store manager see? What could have made the store manager, who could handle an explosion with ease, even tremble in his voice? What was going on in the interrogation room?

They silently began to worry about the manager's condition, especially Akai. After Rum finished speaking, Akai immediately realized that the undercover in the interrogation room was exposed because of him, and his mood suddenly became very complicated.

I only heard the store manager's trembling voice outside, as if he was enduring something, saying: "I can tell who he is...but..."

"But why the interrogation with catnip and chocolate?"

Chijiang Nayue looked at the Russian Blue cat in the interrogation room behind the glass. The cat was tied to a small stool and looked drunk. There were a lot of cat mints scattered around it and a row of sweet-looking chocolates in front of it. She almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

Regarding Kalua's identity, Rum knew less than Belmode, but he thought the same as Belmode, such as that Kalua was of the same kind.

So after receiving the boss's request to bring Kalua here, Rum did not hesitate or hide it. Now facing Kalua's question, he calmly explained: "Because this is the easiest and most efficient way. In fact, these are special species specially researched by the group's research institutes in various places. For safety reasons, the action team is often needed to bring them back safely."

Chi Jiang could almost imagine that after receiving this mission, the police and the FBI would definitely think that the cat mint and chocolate on the surface were disguised, and that they were actually hiding smuggled drugs, guns and ammunition, and they would secretly take them out for inspection. However, they could never find evidence to intercept these actions of the organization.

Because these are actually real cat mint and chocolate, at most they are concentrated and the effect is several or even dozens of times stronger.

Chijiang Nayue was filled with awe: It seems that the organization is truly an evil existence!

At the same time, he secretly pressed the end button of the recorder with his hand hidden in his pocket.

On the surface, the store manager tilted his head and asked curiously, "So, what's the use of doing this?"

Of course, the large amounts of concentrated cat mint and chocolate could not be used just for interrogation. What other purpose could they have?

"Of course we have. The goal is to eliminate those guys who will hinder the group." Rum said solemnly, "It's okay for humans to eat these, but most of our kind can't eat this kind of food, so we have to use these to deal with the interrogation and eliminate our enemies."

As Rum was talking, he suddenly remembered that Kaluya in front of him was still a two-month-old cub. He paused and quickly ended the topic. His smile turned kind again: "Haha, of course, this is all for the sake of the boss and the group!"

No, what kind of righteousness is this? !

The store manager snapped his face and turned away. Rum and Gin couldn't see his expression from their angles, they could only see his shoulders shaking slightly. Rum's face changed drastically: Did he scare the cub to tears? The boss will want to kill him!

Fortunately, the store manager turned around again soon. His cheeks moved, and it was obvious that he was eating something. He smiled brightly at Rum and the others in surprise: "This chocolate has a liquor filling. It's delicious!"

...Oh, you were just eating chocolate secretly, that's okay.

Rum wiped the sweat off his forehead quietly.

They are only affected by these things when they are in their original form. The human body has some instincts at most, such as resisting chocolate, which threatens the life of the original form. In this light, it is really surprising that Kaluuya likes this chocolate.

The store manager over there threw another chocolate into his mouth, chewed it and asked lazily, "Well, why don't you just research poisons, or smuggle some guns or something and kill them?"

No one spoke for a while.

The store manager suddenly frowned and stuck out his tongue sadly: "Uh, I hate hazelnut chocolate..."

When the black-haired young man turned around unhappily to rinse his mouth and look for a trash can, Rum took the opportunity to turn his head and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He whispered to Gin: "Has Kalua always been like this?"

Gin: “…”

Rum chose his words carefully before adding, "Has he always been so... uh, scary? No, quick-thinking? Hasn't the boss taught him a lesson yet?"

Gin said in a deep voice, and emphasized again: "Including today, he has only come back three times in two months."

Rum was silent.

“…I understand.”
