Chapter 88 Thirty-nine Shotas
When Bourbon learned that Bermode had taken A away, the other side was already on the way to the manor.
For the sake of concealment, she would not be stupid enough to drive on the main road. Bermode's plan was to take A to the nearest base first, and then carry the child through the secret passage.
Inside the car, the female star who had already torn off her underwear lazily rested her elbows on the car window. She glanced at A, who she had placed in the passenger seat, and didn't want to meet his open eyes directly. Her eyes were clear.
Bermode was very sure that the injection she received was from the research institute. Generally speaking, this dose is enough for an adult to sleep for half a day, so she was also startled by this glance. The tires of the sports car left fresh marks on the road.
During this time, the boy who was 'kidnapped' by her in a terrible way not only did not cry or make a fuss, but also looked up and looked back at her obediently when she looked over. Even though there was no expression on his face, it was enough to make people soften their hearts.
Vermode's resistance was stronger. She still remembered that this child was a resurrected person who had died twenty years ago in the boss's mouth. Although she actually thought that the boss was looking for trouble and made up a child who looked like Kaluuya and said that he was resurrected, but on the surface, she had to pretend that she believed in the boss.
Subordinates do not need to question any opinions of their leaders, they just need to execute them. Otherwise, even Vermode would not have been able to survive smoothly in this organization until now.
Therefore, even though Bermode felt a little sorry for this child who looked no more than five years old but was about to fall into the hands of the gentleman who was getting older and crazier, her action of drawing the gun and pointing it at the child's head was clean and neat.
Then she slammed on the brakes. The female star figured that this was a remote and deserted mountain area, so she temporarily parked her car on the winding mountain road. Then she turned her head and carefully observed A, who was awake and silent.
"Ah, you woke up so quickly, you're really an amazing kid." Bermode said affectionately, "In that case, do you have anything else to say? Considering your age, maybe I can help you pass on a message to Bourbon and the others."
"Thank you, but it's not necessary." A was silent for a moment, then said politely, "I don't have any extraneous relationship with them."
Bermode kept smiling, and secretly lowered the suspicion of Bourbon and the other two.
It sounds like Bourbon and his friends raised this child on purpose after learning about Kalua... But we can't just conclude that. Then, the child said something that made Bermode's pupils tremble.
He raised his hands and barely grasped the cold muzzle of the gun, but did not let Bermode put it down. He just moved the muzzle of the gun to a position so that he could see Bermode's face more conveniently. The latter also moved according to his movements as if possessed by a spirit.
A said in a calm and confident tone: "Sure enough, I know you."
"You must be the other survivor of the Chronos Project, sister." A said firmly, "That's why the former master asked you to take me back."
Vermouth was stunned, her eyes suddenly turned cold, she really wanted to kill A at this moment.
To be precise, it was not only Sake, the person in charge of the Chronos Project, who made Vermode what it is today, but also the "contributions" of the Miyano couple and Shirley who later joined the organization. Therefore, she hated these researchers and the project.
Especially in this situation, when he suddenly heard the name of the plan coming out of A's mouth, even though Bermode knew it was impossible, he couldn't help but think about A's origins in other directions.
Could it be that this is also a byproduct of that plan? That's why A is still a child after so long, and was just pretending to be dead twenty years ago?
She stared at A's eyes and expression for half a minute, and gave up her guess.
No, A's mental state is simply not what a person who has maintained a child's body for twenty years would have. Not to mention those clear eyes, which can only appear in a real child.
She was just about to say a few perfunctory words to get more information out of A, but A took the initiative to explain what he had said.
"You said that you are her best friend in the organization." A looked at her seriously and said so.
Bermode's hand holding the gun stiffened for a moment, and this time she even took off the mask of smile.
She did have a friend named You, but for Bermode, she was more accustomed to calling that person by his code name, Cherry Brandy.
However, Cherry Brandy betrayed the organization along with her husband Red Label nearly ten years ago, and her brother Black Label blew up the plane they were on.
Bermode remembered that she knew that betraying the organization would result in death, but she still harbored deep hatred towards Black Label. So on the day when Black Label was promoted for completing the mission perfectly, she specifically told her sister-con that "Cherry Brandy was also on the plane."
Later, Black Label went crazy, and Bermode watched him defect and die at the hands of Gin. After that day, she picked a sunny day to buy a grave for Cherry Brandy, and smiled as she broke the news of Black Label's death at her old friend's grave.
In Bermode's eyes, she and Cherry Brandy were not close friends. It was just that their experience of surviving the Chronos Project together made them more tolerant of each other. As for her act of avenging her friend, it was just what she did at her own will and had nothing to do with revenge.
However, when she heard these words from A, she was still speechless.
How did A and Cherry Brandy know each other? She didn't even know he existed before.
Moreover, the time actually doesn't match. If this was just an ordinary child, he would definitely not know anything far beyond his date of birth, especially this secret that is currently only known by Bermode and the researchers involved!
Could it be that... this is really a dead person who was resurrected from twenty years ago?
Chi Jiang Na Yue could see that after hearing his words, although Vermode's murderous intent became stronger, he also showed signs of wavering.
This was his purpose. He did not expect that he could make Vermode turn against him with just a short verbal attack. He also knew that they had never met in this world. The only ones who could make Vermode see the light and hope from the darkness were the childhood sweethearts one year later.
He simply wanted to give Belmode a few more reminders and hints to make her more suspicious of Karasuma Renya's mental state, so that she could be more vigilant and at least try to escape successfully before the police arrested her.
The Belmode of this world is already in a bad situation, so why not stop being tied to this crooked tree of the organization? Wouldn't it be better to defect as soon as possible? Even if you fail to escape, you can be smart and use intelligence to trade with the public security.
After all, this Belmode is not the teacher Sharon that Chijiang knew that month, so it is enough for him to do this. Belmode is a smart man. After pointing her in the right direction, she knows what to do.
As for whether Vermouth would be provoked too much by him, A's position in her eyes would be changed from "the only sun" to Shirley...
The cool and soft touch brought Bermode back to her senses. She looked at the child with complicated feelings. The child seemed to know nothing about her mood. He only carefully grasped her hand holding the gun and looked up at her with a relaxed expression of attachment.
Even though in fact A still has that expressionless face.
"When did you meet her?" Vermouth was silent for a moment, but instead of pulling his hand away, he asked this question.
A thought for a moment, gave a specific date, and said frankly: "I only met her once, but I like her very much."
There was real pain in the boy's delicate features.
"It would have been great if I had been the one who died at that time," he said.
This was what Chijiang Nayue really thought. He always believed that acting was a mixture of truth and falsehood so that he could deceive the highly skilled Vermouth.
Bermode did not comment on this. She looked at A deeply, as if to judge whether he was lying. Her red lips opened and closed as she spoke sharply, "Then why are you telling me all this? Honey, I will not let you go just because of a dead person."
Chi Jiang Na Yue held Bermode's hand and put the muzzle of the gun back to his forehead. He lowered his eyes and answered the question irrelevantly: "She told me that you were very beautiful."
Bermode's hand trembled again, and she stared coldly at the child who was clinging to her palm like a lamb.
Chijiang Nayue did not hear any response from her, he just felt another injection in his body. Then Bermode restored him to a sitting position and started the car again.
Chijiang Nayue knew that she had succeeded.
Ah, the feeling of playing the second round with a guide is too unchallenging... But he was a little surprised that Sharon in this world was soft-hearted towards him because of Yuu-chan.
Teacher Sharon is a flower of evil that grows in the darkness. Just as Teacher Hongye told him, people like them can only take root in the mud and survive. However, Chijiang Nayue always felt that Teacher Sharon was never purely evil. At least to him, she was one of the most important people.
Well... in a way, he and his own disciple have the same "mother"? Wow, this generation division is so weird!
Chijiang Nayue cooperated very well and pretended to be unconscious. He also adjusted his breathing and facial expression to that state. As he pretended, he couldn't help but feel sleepy.
I went to Curacao yesterday and had a breakdown. I can’t suppress the curse and now I’m so sleepy… Is it okay if I just take a nap for a while?
Anyway, let alone where Karasuma Renya lives, he even knows exactly how many glass panels the chandelier on the ceiling of Karasuma Renya's bedroom has. The old man will always wake him up when it's time to look for him.
So when Belmode finally brought the child to the manor, she found that A was sleeping soundly.
She looked at the study door where the boss who was waiting to meet A was, and then looked at the little boy sleeping in her arms.
Bermode fell into deep thought.
