Chapter 110: Alchemy after the Club Closes. On a dark and windy night...
Shiho took the vial and examined it carefully. "This needs to be tested thoroughly. Extensive testing in a controlled environment."
As expected of a scientist like Dr. Miyano, he's meticulous. He thinks twice before he acts, a testament to Aiden's professionalism. The DNA moved. It was the familiar laboratory queen.
"We may not have time to conduct large-scale trials." Vermouth's expression tightened. "I only have a few weeks, not years."
B: Time is life, my friend (not)
Only a few weeks left... Is this the beginning of some terminal illness literature? (Though it might be a cure)
As for "a few years"? I'm afraid I won't even be able to wait until Conan turns back into Shinichi (laughs)
"You're not seriously considering..."
Shiho: There's something wrong with you. There's something very wrong with you. Pupil earthquake.jpg
"That's exactly what I suggested." Vermouth took the bottle back. "Tonight, right here. You'll monitor the entire process."
Sister Bei: Yes, it is me. "Here tonight"... Sister is so anxious.
"This is crazy."
Shiho: My mind tells me this isn't right, but...
After seeing this, the old thief 73 has to say: You guys really know how to have fun.
"It's absolutely necessary." Vermouth's tone hardened. "Shiho, I'll use this formula with or without you. The only question is whether you can ensure the experiment works properly."
"The only question is, will you come and help me (and have a relationship at the same time)?"
Translation: I've got you, Miyano Shiho.
Isn’t this just an organizational variation of “The Domineering President Falls in Love with Me”?
That ultimatum, between them, reshaped Shiho's approach to the experiment. She considered Kudo's warnings, Agasa's concerns, and her own scientific principles, which needed rigorous testing.
Kudo: A-choo. Who's talking about me? (Famous background of Beika Town)
Doctor: My dear granddaughter, please don't be fooled by this bad woman. (Too late, hands spread out)
Isn’t this the classic “Sense and Sensibility” that Jane Austen would have known for a while?
But Shiho also remembered that kiss. She remembered the formula that could change medicine forever. She remembered the woman before her, brilliant, desperate, and captivating.
"That kiss"... the element is detected. Here comes the point.
Shirley, what a dangerous statement! It's over, I'm trapped. This woman is poisonous.
Translation: She smells so good, I can't resist her.
Seriously, from a psychological perspective, this "dangerous attraction" often stems from a desire to explore the unknown and taboo, as well as a reflection of one's own repressed side in the other person. Ahem, I can't make it up anymore, it's just that I'm lusting after her body.
"If I agree to help," she said slowly, "we have to do it my way. Be fully prepared. And you have to tell me everything... no more secrets."
Shiho: I can, but you have to listen to me. The queen's aura is fully open.
"No more secrets"... This is something couples would say, right?
Take back some of the initiative. You're worthy of being you, Miyano Shiho. Let's set three rules first.
The wild psychologist of Beika Town is online: Shiho is trying to establish a boundary of trust, which is also a self-protection mechanism, and she is madly testing the edge of losing control.
"No more secrets," Vermouth agreed, looking relieved. Was it a controlled gesture or a genuine expression?
"Tonight, after the club closes."
Bei Jie: The plan works. Hehehe.
"After the club closes"... Hmm? Yewshan Hill Club still does this? (Pointing)
It’s a dark and windy night, it’s... ahem, a good time to do experiments.
This "relief" is quite interesting. What other plots does Masaka have?
"What about Kudo? He must be looking for me."
Tool man male supporting role, online again (dog head)
Shinichi: I was terrified, but I was still solving the case. Don't cue me, I'm busy. I haven't even graduated from Hawaii Technical School yet.
"Then let him see." Vermouth once again showed her dangerous yet seductive smile. "By morning, I'll either be healed or dead. Either way, the worries in Detective Kudo's clever little head are irrelevant."
Sister Bei's smile is both beautiful and crazy. From the sound of her voice, she seems to be planning something big. Exciting.
Kudo: I'm just a passing detective who happens to be able to fly planes, ships, and Gundams.
The unintentional mention of her possibly dying caused Shiho to shudder, "Don't say that."
Shiho felt bad. She felt bad. It was just that she had been the one who had spoken out so bluntly just five minutes ago.
Subtext: "I won't let you die." (Shock)
I'm addicted. Damn possessiveness and protectiveness.
(Prediction of the barrage) Will the next sentence be "What should I do if you die?"
"So? What? A woman with nothing left who is about to leave this world?" Vermouth approached again, her rose perfume enveloping Shiho. "I am what you see, not a woman with nothing left."
The Queen speaks. "I'm not the kind of woman who has nothing" (because I'm about to have you)
This oppressive feeling, this enveloping aura, etc., is so good.
(Sherlock Holmes reference) Bayonetta is playing on Irene Adler's "The Woman." "That Woman" was unique to Holmes, and Bayonetta wants to be like that to Shiho? (Serious Nonsense.jpg)
Her alluring lips brushed against Shiho's again, though briefly, with obvious intent. "Brushing," not "kissing," this subtle teasing was the most deadly.
"Tonight," she whispered against Shiho's lips, "we make history, or we become history."
This line is both cheesy and catchy. As expected of Vermouth.
"Become history" (physics) or "become history" (love story)? Choose the latter.
The atmosphere is so exciting now. If I don't do something, I'll be doing a disservice to the moonlight. (Want to see GIF)
These words, though they should have sounded exaggerated, evoked a terrifying conviction in Shiho's heart. This was because the speaker was Vermouth, and she meant what she said.
Shiho: I believe you, you're such a bad woman. But... damn charming.
This is the charm of the actress with many faces, which can bewitch people's hearts invisibly.
Shiho nodded, closing the distance and pressing his lips against hers, confirming their contract.
The contract was established. Flowers were scattered. Locked. Locked. Key swallowed.
(The barrage philosopher forced himself to elevate) This is a resonance of souls, a promise that transcends the mundane. …I can't go on, I just want to see them clinging.
Science requires evidence, and logic requires caution.
Miyano Shiho, a scientist whose sanity hangs on a shaky string.
Something deeper, something she couldn't articulate, demanded that she see this through to the end... no matter what the outcome.
"Something that cannot be explained"...a universal license to cheat in the world of science.
But she gave too much.
It's love. It's XP. (No)
Translation: My heart and my body have made their choice.
Isn’t this the most primitive impulse and attraction of love?
If Aoyama drew this part, he would probably use a meaningful close-up of the eyes to express this "it's hard to explain", and then let Conan continue to stand next to him with his small eyes as a background board.
Shiho-kun, repeatedly teetering on the edge of reason and emotion, was ultimately swallowed by the black hole called "attraction." I bow to you first.
"Which is more addictive, science or love?" Shiho has already given the answer.
Ding Dong, multiple choice question:
Shiho, there is a bottle of medicine that "won't make you turn into a child or ascend to heaven directly". Vermouth volunteers to try it. What will she do?
A. Adhere to scientific principles and try it on Dr. Agasa's mice first.
B. Let Sister Bei go directly, since she is already prepared for life and death.
C. Send a text message to Kudo: Come and deal with the crazy woman in the organization.
D. The two people kiss three times first to see if the magic of love can serve as an antidote (a scientific antidote rule).
The best answer will receive a "Psychological Shadow Area Medal" from Beika Town.
Faced with Vermouth's "crazy" invitation and extreme temptation, what was the main reason why Shiho, the always rational and calm scientist, finally chose to "take a gamble"?
A. To advance medical development and benefit all of humanity, and to see what this charming woman can come up with. (The scientist's final stubbornness)
B. Vermouth gave me too much. (Mental stimulation and physical stimulation... ahem, Mina-san understands)
C. The opportunity to "do it again," whether it's a drug experiment or a certain experience, is not something that everyone can easily come across. (In the adult world, excitement is enough.)
D. Kudo Shinichi's triggering event is too powerful. If I don't find something exciting to do, I'm afraid I'll become a victim of the case. (Studying science and metaphysics is the most important thing to save your life)
.
After midnight, the Yew Slopes Club took on a whole new look.
The midnight show is the main movie, those who understand will understand.
Zishan Slope, the name, sounded like the kind of place where a "billion-dollar accident" could happen. Usually, clubs like this were either Black Organization bases or future crime scenes (dog head).
Chinese translation: It’s closing time, time to start making things happen.
The jazz quartet left the stage, the guests left one after another, and the retro lights dimmed, emitting a mysterious glow.
The BGM has been changed, the atmosphere team is off duty, and it's the suspense team's turn.
Chinese translation: The filters are all adjusted, start your performance.
This light brings back the episodes of "The Magician in the Moonlight".
Only a handful of capable employees remained, acting with the caution of those accustomed to witnessing history from the shadows. To put it bluntly: We've seen big things, and a few deaths are nothing.
Chinese translation: This isn't just a bit part; I'm afraid he has a code name. It feels like a branch of a winery.
What kind of place is the Zishan Hill Club in the Conan world?
A. A new type of escape room experience center, focusing on excitement.
B. Another secret base of the Black Organization. Gin might be mixing drinks next door.
C. A high-end membership health club, whose main business is actually the clinical trial of APTX4869.
D. Just an ordinary club that becomes "extraordinary" after midnight.
Shiho arrived on time, her backpack filled with monitoring equipment, emergency medicines, and detailed records of the chemical structure of the formula.
This backpack is a four-dimensional pocket-level product. Professional. As expected of the developers of APTX4869.
The secret recipe will not be passed on to anyone, unless the person is Vermouth (funny).
Apart from her own conflicting emotions, she was prepared for any emergency.
The guard, dressed in a classic British-style uniform, recognized her immediately. "Ms. Miyano, Miss Wynyard is waiting in the laboratory at the back."
The security guard had a vicious look in his eyes and seemed to be an old hand.
The lab had changed since she'd last been there. Funds were burning through.
Vermouth converted a corner of the laboratory into a temporary medical station.
The all-around ACE, focusing on both scientific research and medical care. Chinese Translation: Simple operating room, perhaps even more fully equipped than Mihua Central Hospital.
The antique equipment remains, but alongside it sit modern medical monitors, IV poles, and what looks like a defibrillator. Alchemy mixed.
Retro technology style mixed with modern medicine, even a defibrillator is used, is this the rhythm of on-site rescue?
This setup might be some kind of fate-changing experiment. After all, it's Bayley's "immortality" that's at fault.
This Victorian science museum has become a surreal blend of past and present… much like the blonde woman standing in the center of the room. She is, after all, a bundle of contradictions.
Vermouth was dressed in a simple silk robe, her platinum hair tightly tied around her face.
Bayley's makeup-free (?) homewear version. A silk robe. Who can resist this?
Without her usual perfect makeup, the signs of aging are more obvious... On a young-looking woman who claims to be 29, fine lines that shouldn't appear and the age-sensing feeling of her skin suggest cellular decay.
Is the myth of “immortality” about to be shattered?
The beauty has aged (but she is still a beauty.)
It's heartbreaking, but also a little exciting.
What is the most likely reason for the "signs of aging" appearing on Vermouth?
A. I haven’t been sleeping well recently, so I have dark circles and fine lines.
B. Some unknown side effect of APTX4869, or the antidote is imperfect.
C. She is actually Kidd in disguise, and her makeup skills are not good enough.
D. The author wanted to give Bei Zhi some sweet moments, so he deliberately set up the "sick beauty" plot.
"Perfect timing," Vermouth said. Although she was nervous, her voice was calm. "Is anyone following you?"
The necessary opening remarks when the organization members meet, the DNA is moving.
"Kudo is busy with his final exams." Shiho put down her schoolbag. "And Dr. Agasa thought I had given up on this research direction."
Doctor: My granddaughter is doing mysterious alchemy, and I'm kept in the dark all day long. It's so hard for me. QAQ
"I gave up this research direction"... Chinese translation: I'm kidding, I'm still doing things secretly.
Shiho said, "Kudo is busy with his final exams." What is Kudo Shinichi most likely doing at this time?
A. I am really reviewing. After all, no matter how smart you are, you are afraid of failing the exam.
B. He is involved in another case and is currently searching for fishing line at the crime scene.
C. Go on a date with Xiaolan and enjoy the rare peaceful time.
D. I was playing games at home and sneezed loudly.
"For someone so devoted to scientific truth, lies come easily to you," Bayonetta said, hitting the nail on the head. Complaints are the most deadly. Chinese translation: You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are also starting to lie.
Shiho: In order to survive, acting is also a required course.
"Necessary omissions." Shiho began to unpack her equipment. "I brought monitoring equipment. We need to read baseline data before we can proceed."
High emotional intelligence: I didn’t lie, I just didn’t tell the whole story.
Then, they switch to work mode in a split second, displaying professionalism. Scientists fall in love: first measure the data, then talk about the heartbeat.
"You are always a methodical scientist." Vermouth's smile was filled with a hint of fondness, a doting feeling that overflowed the screen, "Even at the edge of history."
The cliff and all, after all, there's going to be big news soon, the kind that might change your destiny.
One dares to stir up trouble, the other dares to accompany him in stirring up trouble, a perfect match.
The edge of history = the daily life in the world of science, where the protagonist is always dancing on the edge of a knife.
For an alchemical scientist on the edge of a cliff, the next step is emotional free fall.
"Especially now." Shiho pointed to a chair. "Sit down. I need to check your vitals."
The Queen ordered. "Sit down." This concise and powerful imperative sentence, tasted like a command, a command, a declaration of control, a declaration of "I'm the boss of your territory." It was the opening line of an S-type scientific research attacker. #ControlPowerLaMax #QueenBehavior #DominanceLiterature
As soon as I heard the word "physical signs", I knew something was wrong (a rational shell that couldn't hide the romance of my heartbeat) #Medical and logical double cultivation of lesbian routines
Vermouth obeyed, watching Shiho connect the monitoring equipment with precision. Their fingers occasionally touched lightly during the process, just a typical skin-hungry test.
With each touch, Shiho felt a wave of consciousness, but she ruthlessly suppressed it. It was a textbook example of tsundere inner drama, and the sugar began to precipitate.
Who is secretly having a romantic relationship in front of the scientific equipment? (Raise your hand to report but want to peek)
It was just a rehearsal of the first night of the female agent and the scientist in the underground laboratory. #The surveillance equipment was also watching them give sweets
"Your pulse is quickening," she said, avoiding Vermouth's gaze.
The heartbeat won't lie, but the eyes can be dodgy.
My pulse quickens, more sincere than any "I like you"... because it's data. It's a heartbeat verified by physiological indicators. #ScientificResearchSugarTheStable
"Well, is it because the formula has deteriorated, or because you're too close?" Vermouth joked, but her eyes were very serious. "Sometimes, it's hard to distinguish between chemical reactions and... other reactions."
The fishing sister's counterattack. This "other reaction" is so spiritual, it's a heartbeat. It's hormones dancing. Vermouth, you are worthy of being an artist of language, an ACE in the world of flirting. #FishingSpeech#Sister is so good at flirting#Chemical reaction or heartbeat reaction
Pun output. This sentence from Sister Bay is too cool.
Chemical reaction is an excuse, emotional reaction is the truth. She is using scientific language to flirt with scientists. #emotionalquantificationgirlfriend
"Now is not the time to flirt."
Shiho (trying to be tough): "Ahem, be serious."
Subtext: "Speak more, I love to hear it, but I have to be reserved." (The words in brackets are the real words, right?) #Standard lines for tsundere#Hard on the mouth, soft on the heart#I can cover my mouth, but I can't cover my heartbeat
Classic suppression top statement: "I'm controlling myself, but please don't be too seductive"
"On the contrary. If tonight doesn't go well, this might be my last day." Vermouth grabbed Shiho's wrist as she adjusted the screen and asked softly, "Do you regret coming here?"
This tragic qualifier instantly heightens the ambiguous tension. The question isn't about regretting coming "here," it's clearly asking, "Do you regret meeting me/being close to me?" This question is way over the top.
It's an induced emotional confirmation, the ultimate killer move for ambiguity, and a master of flirting who wants to hear you say "no." #ClassicWristGrab#High-RiskSpeech#ExtremeTug
This "last day" is simply a death flag in love (uncertainty of life and death + emotional confession double kill)
The meaning of this question far exceeded its simple wording. Shiho pondered it carefully, noticing Vermouth's gaze on her face, interpreting every little expression.
They stared at each other. A deep gaze. Vermouth's eyes were like an X-ray machine, scanning Shiho from the inside out.
#Eye Killing #Micro Expression Decoding #Emotional Microscope Activation #The Air Is Pink At This Moment
Shiho, how would you respond to Vermouth's question, "Do you regret coming here?"
A. "No regrets, I only regret not meeting you sooner." (The tough-talking techie version)
B. "Now is not the time to discuss this." (Continue to maintain a cool and aloof personality)
C. Silence for three seconds, eyes drifting, then whispering "What about you?" (ambiguity value MAX)
D. Grab her hand back: "My presence is the best proof." (Awakening of Attack Qi)
"No," Shiho looked at her and said softly, "No matter what happens, I have to stay here."
Key Point: “I have to stay here” = I have an emotional investment in you
The rational tsundere top's disguised confession + promise, hard-mouthed but stayed. #mouth says scientific research, body says love
Vermouth's expression softened a bit: "Then let's continue."
She must have understood the deeper meaning behind Shiho's words. Should she continue the experiment, or continue the unfinished story between them?
It should not only continue scientific research, but also continue relationships, continue tacit understanding, and continue heartbeats.
#The gentle thawing moment of the cold-faced agent# From pulling the wrist to letting go, the 1 second CP feeling is overflowing
Shiho nodded, released Vermouth's wrist, and pulled out a notebook from her backpack. It was one of the romantic props for scientist couples. (The other two were test tubes and white coats, no objections.)
"I've analyzed the structure of this formula. The reverse process seems reasonable, but there is one variable I can't explain."
I calmly returned to my research (though my heart had already followed my wrist). A temporary truce was called, and I got down to business. But the pink bubbles in the air didn't dissipate.
Shiho's character is too stable, she talks big but she's not able to explain the variables, she's just unable to explain her own heartbeat.
"What variables?"
Bei Jie's cooperation is perfect. Curious baby is online.
"This formula requires a catalyst... a living catalyst." Shiho opened her notebook and saw a diagram. "Eleanor's notes indicate that reversal can't occur alone. It requires energy transfer from another living being."
The DNA moved. Is this the prelude to some classic sacrifice/redemption scene?
Living Catalyst: The electric current between you and me is like a deer beating its own drum. #Science cannot explain love, but love can trigger science
"Just like the original formula, transferring Charlotte's life to Eleanor." Vermouth said calmly.
So calm, she seems to have known something for a long time. Under this calm, there are often turbulent waves. #huge amount of information#The rhythm of history repeating itself
But after all this, it seems like they are still trying to pass on the Star-Absorbing Technique.
"Yes, but there's a key difference," Shiho said, pointing to a molecular structure. "This modification should prevent complete transfer. It should create a balanced exchange, rather than a one-way flow."
A surprising turn of events. Isn't this a one-way sacrifice, a two-way rush? Now, the 40-meter blade of BE (Bad Ending) has been temporarily retracted.
#Scientific explanation for the two-way rush#HE is scheduled (is it)
As for the "balanced exchange"? Isn't that the essence of love? (Love can't just be about giving, the other person has to reciprocate.)
Dr. Miyano, who has an IQ of 200, talks about molecules but his heart is talking about love letters. #Two-wayRunning is not a slogan but a scientific research formula
Ding Dong, which of the following plot developments is most likely to be led to by "Living Catalyst" and "Balanced Exchange"?
A. Shiho and Vermouth need to engage in some kind of "love applause" energy exchange. (Scream first.)
B. The two must hold hands and connect hearts, fighting against the forces of evil together. Energy will naturally exchange. (The pure warrior rejoices.)
C. It was actually a smokescreen; the catalyst turned out to be lab rats. (Author: You wouldn't have guessed that.)
D. Vermouth smiled faintly: "My dear, the catalyst was actually me." Then she hid her achievements and fame. (Fans of beautiful, strong and tragic characters stood up and applauded.)
"Should the experiment be stopped?" Vermouth began to drop bombshells. Was this a test, or was it her true feelings?
"Science studies probability, not certainty." Shiho looked her straight in the eye. "There are risks."
"It's aimed at the catalyst." Sister Bei: I've laid my cards on the table. The real purpose is revealed.
"We need two participants." Shiho closed her notebook, physically isolating herself, saying, "I don't want to hear your empty promises." "So we need a real biological subject, not a human..."
Tsk tsk, the subtext, if it were a human, it would be the two of them. Is Shiho's reaction an attempt to distance herself from the matter or is it truly scientific and rigorous?
"We don't have time for animal experiments." Vermouth stood up and walked to a cabinet with a small bottle of liquid in it. "And we already have a volunteer catalyst."
Here we go. The classic "out of time" cliché. The universal excuse for all the melodramatic plots and extreme maneuvers.
Shiho remained motionless: "No."
The English word "No" is concise and powerful.
