Chapter 108 The famous vixen (crossed out) The fishing sister,...
"Wynyard...she is famous." Dr. Agasa took off his glasses and wiped them nervously.
What kind of reputation are you referring to? Is it "a beautiful woman with evil intentions" or "an arsonist"? (I guess the latter, hehe)
The doctor was so nervous that he had to wipe his glasses, which shows that Wynyard is definitely a tough guy.
"She has been trying to get her hands on Beckmann's research for years. Most people think she's just a collector looking for a rare manuscript, but there are rumors..."
"Collector"? I'm afraid he wants to "collect" a certain scientist too. (Dangerous statement, but it's a good idea)
"What's that rumor?"
Shiho pressed on. She pressed on. Rumors. I love hearing rumors. Tell me now, tell me now.
As expected, the little scientist became interested in this "dangerous woman".
"She's looking for the formula itself. She wants to complete it." Agasa put his glasses back on.
Anyone who understands Beijie's obsession with APTX4869 (or something similar) will understand. So is this... an academic confidant? Or the prelude to a love-hate relationship? (The latter.)
"Five years ago, something happened in Cambridge. A promising biochemist, after collaborating with Wynyard, disappeared. His research disappeared with him."
High energy ahead. Is the knife coming?
The end of working with a beautiful woman is like... (trembling but a little excited, what's going on?)
Sister Bei is indeed cruel and ruthless, but... so exciting.
Shiho felt a chill run down her spine.
Was it fear? Or... some kind of terrifying "attraction" to this woman's methods?
Shiho OS: There’s something about this woman.
Ding Dong, multiple choice questions.
What is the most likely real reason why Shiho felt "shivered all over" after listening to Professor Agasa's story about Vermouth's "dark history"?
A. Scared. After all, she's a ruthless killer, so saving my own life is paramount.
B. Frozen. The lab air conditioning is set too low. Put on more clothes.
C. Exciting. "Oh? This woman is quite interesting. She's caught my attention." (The Queen's prey radar is on.)
D. Hungry. Thinking is too much, so I want to eat eel rice. (Then I successfully activate the Karasuma Genta dungeon plot)
"Why did it disappear?"
Good question. Did he vanish from the face of the earth or... (I dare not think)
Shiho's calm questioning was worthy of a woman who had experienced many ups and downs.
"No one knows. But his last known research focused on the cell channels you are studying now." Agasa pointed to her notes.
Ah, the red thread (black thread?) of fate has been tied.
The feeling of nemesis is full. Soul resonance (dangerous version).
"Shiho-kun, I want you to stop this line of research. It's unsafe."
Doctor: Daughter/granddaughter, please listen to my advice. There is an abyss ahead.
...Not only is it unsafe, it's like sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth. (I want to see the details)
"Science is the pursuit of truth, wherever the path leads."
Queen's Speech +2. It's on fire.
Shiho: I won't listen. I'm going to play with fire.
For the sake of "truth" (and the entanglement with the beauty), I will go forward even if there are thousands of people against me.
Ding Dong, hidden attribute: "Little Expert in Seeking Death" has been activated.
"Wisdom is knowing which truths should not be pursued." Agasa stood up.
Is this wave of PhD students "academic PUA"? (No)
It's a philosophical battle. Who wins, "curiosity" vs. "seeking profit and avoiding harm"?
The doctor tried to persuade her earnestly, but her rebellious daughter/granddaughter wouldn't listen (dog head).
"I'm running late for a faculty meeting. When I get back, I imagine you'll still be working on your approved dissertation research...that's all."
"That's all"... Subtext: "Don't think about that dangerous woman anymore. Do you hear me?"
Doctor: That's all I have to say. You can do whatever you want. (The tired old father)
But the flag has been raised high. Shiho will definitely not just stop there.
As for old man Agasa, he appears to be concerned, but in reality he is "stern like an old father" and "helpless in helping the protagonist pursue her yuri career."
After he left, Shiho sat motionless, her thoughts swirling.
No need to ask, he must be thinking of Chris Wynyard.
This little drama in my head has been going on for eight hundred episodes now. All about that woman.
Kudo warns that Vermouth is a con man who specializes in rare documents.
The tool man comes online and provides background information. "Swindler"... the kind that cheats people but not their money?
Agasa mentioned a missing scientist. These clues, when put together, are extremely terrifying.
The more dangerous, the more charming. Shiho is about to fall for him. (A delightful sight.)
What is Shiho's most likely next move?
A. "Scientific research is life-threatening." He went into the laboratory overnight with Wynyard's formula, and imagined the fragrance of the mysterious woman's hair while doing experiments.
B. "Moral self-discipline", forcing himself to sit up straight, pretending to be a rational scientist, but in his heart he began to frantically recall every time he looked into Wynyard's eyes.
C. "Hold a meeting calmly" and write an email to report Wynyard. He appears to be righteous, but in fact he secretly writes down her cell phone number.
D. "Just go for it." Send a WeChat/LINE/WhatsApp message to Wynyard: "Are you free tonight to chat about research and... other interesting topics?"
Behind all this was the look in Vermouth's eyes when she spoke of Eleanor and Charlotte. Shiho briefly caught a glimpse of the sincerity of her carefully crafted allure.
Is this the "sincere emotion" of the multifaceted actress? Or perhaps it's a new peak in her acting skills.
Shiho picked up the phone and dialed the number on the business card in her pocket.
The phone rang twice before Vermouth answered.
It's OK after two rings. I thought I had to put on makeup, strike a pose, and then use a voice changer to choose a loli voice.
So efficient? You're probably holding your phone and waiting, right? (Rubbing hands together)
"I knew you would call me." Her voice was like when she just woke up in the morning, a little hoarse, magnetic, yet a little intimate, which made people imagine a lot.
"We need to talk."
Shiho went out with an English A. Straight to the point. As expected of a researcher, she's just that direct.
"There are many things we need to do, Shiho. Talking is just one of them."
That's a lewd, lewd comment. Something's wrong with Miss Bay. Is this something you can listen to for free? "Do a lot of things," elaborate? Like, let's go to Hawaii together and learn to fly a plane? Or maybe learn to shoot a gun? (Conan: A-choo.)
Humph, I seriously suspect that Beilu Modou was driving, and I have evidence.
"Yew Slope. Noon."
Yew Hill. Yew Hill again. London's famous dating (fighting, trading, and sending heads off) holy land. Can the Black Organization move to another location?
At noon, in broad daylight, a secret meeting between (former) members of the Black Organization? Shouldn't the FBI and the police hold a meeting there?
"You're asking for a lot." Vermouth's smile was clearly audible even through the phone. Shiho felt like she could see her beautiful smile. "What makes you think I'm always at your service?"
Bei may say no, but his body (and voice) are honest. What's with that doting tone?
Could you elaborate on what services are available? (Sudden color change. Gif)
"Because you wanted something from me. And now, I want something from you."
Equivalent exchange, Alchemist Shirley is online.
They take advantage of each other and fight with each other like masters.
Shiho: I want your information. Bei Jie: I want your... (knowing glances).
"What is that?"
Sister Bei: You have aroused my curiosity.jpg.
What else could it be? Your heart, of course. (crossed out)
"truth."
Shirley: I want to hear the truth.
Secret Woman actress Bayonetta: Honestly? What is that? Is it edible? (Tilts head)
Is it wrong to seek the "truth" in the Conan universe? Here, there are only clichés, smokescreens, and "ah-ha-ha."
Shiho is too naive. To be honest with a movie queen with a thousand faces, it would be better to expect Conan to turn back into Shinichi for more than three minutes a day.
On the phone, there was a moment of contemplation: "The truth is rarely as simple as people imagine."
Bayonetta is starting to riddle people again. As expected of you, riddle people, get out of Beika Town. (bushi)
Translation: I'm about to start fooling you, so stand still.
"Then give me your version of the truth. Noon."
When it comes to "your version", Shiho has a good EQ. She knows that there is not much truth in Sister Bei's mouth, so she settles for a "limited edition of the truth".
Once again emphasizing that it was noon, it seemed that Shiho was really anxious to pursue a career (or a partner?).
Before Vermouth could answer, Shiho hung up the phone, her heart pounding.
Good job hanging up the phone. Give her a taste of her own medicine and kill her.
Shiho stood up. Let's teach her a lesson.
But, my heart is pounding. Is it because I got an A on Baylor, or because I'm too excited about skipping class? (Funny)
She packed up her notes and put them in the safe. As a former organizational scientist, she had an excellent sense of confidentiality.
Then I went back to the apartment to shower and change clothes.
A sense of ritual before a meeting? Got it, this is a date.
This was the first time in her academic career that she had intentionally missed a class.
The top student skipped classes to meet a member of the organization (and his ambiguous object?).
A historic moment. 73 owed Ai a perfect attendance award, and now, in the Logos simulation, he had made up for his absence.
The power of love (? ) is so great that it can turn a top student into a "bad" student.
Ding Dong, Shiho skipped class to see Vermouth this time, mainly because:
A. Get the "truth" about the organization (the official version, but who believes it?)
B. Further test Vermouth's true position and attitude towards him (engage in a flirtation while pursuing business)
C. I just wanted to see her and was looking for an excuse (if I did, it was real.)
D. All of the above. Adults, of course, want all of them. (Greed is the ladder of human progress.)
The Yew Hill Club, in the daytime, looked completely different than it did that night…less mysterious and more melancholic.
The sunlight, filtering through the windows that had been covered by heavy curtains the night before, illuminated the dust particles dancing in the air like molecular structures.
The day does not understand the darkness of the night. Zishanpo also has a literary and artistic side.
But no matter how artistic it is, it cannot change the fact that it is a place where high-risk cases are frequent.
So, on weekdays, this is where some secret deals or parties take place? It's terrifying to think about it.
Also, don't think you're safe in the sun, people can die in the daytime in Conan's world. (Elementary school students say there's no pressure)
The painting style is melancholic during the day, and so emo at night, right?
Vermouth, who looks good even in a sack, sits at the bar in a well-tailored trouser suit that looks like Chanel or Armani haute couture.
Somehow, it evokes 1940s glamour while still managing to evoke a modern sense of style.
Pants, very handsome.
She wore her platinum blonde hair loose today, hanging in waves around her shoulders.
40s + handsome modern power = spy 007 travels through time and space and falls in love with a scientific research girl.
This damn, nowhere-to-go charm.
As soon as Bayonetta appeared, the style of the painting immediately changed from Japanese anime to the movie scene of "Black Party Members".jpg
I'd call this hairstyle "Marilyn Monroe vs. the Black Organization." As worthy of the actress with a thousand faces, she's the queen of volume. Even Tony wants to copy her. Xiaolan's hairstylist next door could use some of this to trim her corners (not really).
She was drinking what looked like a Bloody Mary, though Shiho suspected there was neither blood nor Mary in it.
What you drink is emotional management, and what you get drunk on is the girl’s confusion.
Sister Bei: Mary is not important. What is important is that you are attracted by the way I drink.
"Exactly on time," Vermouth said without turning back. "I admire punctuality in a lovely woman. It means...precision."
These words, secretly laced with ulterior motives, were probably not about praising her for her punctuality, but about flirting.
Shiho sat down on the stool next to her and placed her bag on the bar. Does this bag contain the APTX4869 antidote formula on a USB drive, or is it pepper spray? (Manual dog head) Against someone of Bayonetta's caliber, I suggest pulling out a gun (if she has one).
"Who are you?"
Continue with A. Straight to the point, as expected of a researcher, she gets straight to the heart of the matter. Her queenly aura is on full display.
Shiho: I've finally had enough of your mysterious flirting with me every day. Give me an explanation.
"Who are you?" = "Do you like me or not?" in yuri novels.
"Still very direct. Another admirable quality." Vermouth turned and looked closely at Shiho's small face. "You look sleepy, but even when you're about to fall asleep, you still have that fascinating focus that comes with being obsessed with science."
Beijie OS: This little girl is quite interesting and hot, I like her. This look, wow, it’s so sexy.
I'm almost asleep. What kind of lewd language is this? Sister Bei, don't just drive around just because you're beautiful. Is this a tease? Definitely a tease.
Translation: You've been working on experiments all night, and your dark circles are almost falling to the ground, but that still can't stop your damn charm. Bei Jie, if you can talk, just say more.
"Stop changing the subject." It was still a concise and straight-forward statement, without a single word of nonsense.
Shiho: Don't try to fool me. You didn't even know where I was when I was working in society (referring to working in R&D in the organization). Don't try to seduce me with your beauty. (Although it did work a little.)
Inner thoughts: This woman is so good at flirting, I can’t handle it anymore, hurry up and get down to business. Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll surrender first.
"I'm not trying to change the subject, I'm just observing." Vermouth gestured to the bartender, who took the initiative to hand her a cup of black coffee.
The bartender is really knowledgeable. The Lily Shura Field is paired with an American coffee, which is quite bitter.
"You stayed up all night studying my formula. Now you've discovered that it actually works."
"I was observing (your dark circles and inferring you've been up all night)." ... Sister Bei, you're as good as you are. Your reasoning skills are also excellent. It's a pity you're not a detective. This kind of insight would make Kudo Yusaku have to offer a cigarette.
Sister Bei's tone makes it seem like she has everything under control, and her status is at its highest point.
"How do you know?"
Shiho: I stayed up all night not for you... but for the experimental data you left behind (blushing with a stubborn face).
"Because you came at noon, not midnight." Vermouth took a sip of wine.
Reasonable analysis, precise reasoning, it’s all nonsense, that’s how confident a love-brain can be.
"If you thought it was a scam, you would have completely avoided it without saying a word. If you were unsure, you would have come back after dark and put on a half-hearted facade to try to get answers. But you came here in broad daylight, directly, to demand answers. This shows you know the formula is real."
Translation: My dear, you are in such a hurry to come here, isn’t it because my stuff is so useful that you can’t stop~ (smirk again)
This chain of logic is quite good, worthy of a woman who has lived for thousands of episodes (?).
Sister Bei: Hey, little guy, everything you do is in my script. This sense of control, wow.
"In broad daylight"... Shiho: I just don't want to stay up late anymore. My hairline is getting worse, and my hairstyle is becoming more and more like Suzuki Sonoko's. Daytime is more efficient. Plus, if there's an ambush, it's easier to escape during the day (not really).
However, if you think about it carefully, this logic sounds very powerful, but maybe Sister Bei is just looking for a scientific explanation for "I just like you".
"And this recipe is dangerous."
Shiho: Yes, it was so dangerous that I almost thought I was turning into a child again (which I didn't). It was also so dangerous that I couldn't help but want to get closer to you, a woman who is even more dangerous.
After all, it was something the winery's top brass came up with, so how could it not be dangerous? The only safe thing was a placebo.
"My dear, all important scientific research is dangerous. That's why you know it's important." Vermouth put down his glass. "But you didn't come here to discuss abstract principles of scientific ethics."
Bayern is back to being charming. That "honey" is a foul. Yellow card warning.
"This isn't about discussing abstract principles of scientific ethics." ... Bei Jie: I know you're after my body (crossed out), my formula, or me. Tell me, do you want to get close to me?
Subtext: Stop pretending to be a little sister. I know what you want to do. Be direct. Sister likes it.
Bei Jie's quote: You are not here for scientific research, but for me (shrug)
Chinese reading comprehension question online: What is the subtext of Vermouth's words?
A. I am important
B. I am dangerous
C. I am an important and dangerous romantic partner
D. All of the above
What will Shiho say next?
A. "Stop teasing me. I really can't sleep."
B. "It's dangerous, but I just want to know if you like me."
C. "What scientific drink did you drink that makes you sound so reasonable?"
D. "I called the police."
"I've come to find out if you have anything to do with the disappearance of the Cambridge biochemist five years ago."
Keep getting straight to the point, as you do, Researcher Miyano. Straight to the point, focusing on the efficient solving of a case (and flirting).
The tone seemed to say, "Confess and you'll get some mercy, baby."
Vermouth raised her finely trimmed eyebrows, her expression still confident and relaxed: "Ah. You talked to Professor Agasa."
It's a "Oh my, little prey is coming to my door?" feeling. #Anti-Routine Research Institute# Classic villain style is well understood, fishing sister, high attack and defense.
