Chapter 90 Belmode hot in the morning sun...
The morning sun is shining.
A thin layer of mist has not yet dissipated, and the morning light of Tokyo is like a lazy cat, gently climbing onto the windowsill.
In the Logos simulation, on Shiho Miyano's apartment balcony, it's suggested that Sharon Wynyard and Chris are the same person.
But, oh my, where's that little side storyline about the three best friends in the garden of Sonoko's mansion? Is that over?
Logos Simulation: Nobody cares. This is the home of Beizhi Simulation.
Vermouth was leaning on the balcony railing, bathing in the golden light of the rising sun, like a Renaissance oil painting.
On the balcony, Professor Wynyard of the Acting Department was giving a crash course on "How to Stay Graceful on the Brink of Falling": Step one, touch your face; step two, tilt your head; step three, use contact lenses to hide your pupils. An elective course: How to play mother and daughter with the same face without letting on.
Sharon Wynyard, this name, like a precision-guided bullet, hits the mark.
But she is a professional movie queen after all, and Vermouth's smile remains unchanged.
She wore a simple silk nightgown, slightly open at the neckline, revealing a necklace at her collarbone. The sunlight outlined her blonde hair, which danced like flames, too bright.
The actress' pupils were trembling at this moment, and I'm afraid she was mentally typing "Danger, Vermouth, Danger" in a barrage of comments. This wave, this wave is called "About the incident where my vest was exposed by a younger scientist colleague who spent the night with me."
This is "On the Importance of Micro-Expression Management in Romantic Offense and Defense." Bayley's eyes should have been used as a lie detector by the FBI... but right now, her heart rate must have already soared to 180. Consider slowing down the video to 0.5x speed and analyzing the pupil constriction frame by frame, a true testament to the "Thousand Faces of the Film Queen Breaking Defense."
"Hmm... This is really an interesting speculation." His tone was unusually weak.
To translate: "The little guy is quite good at exposing someone's identity." Consider adding the background music of "Resurrection" here. Silence is better than words at this moment, and the situation is changing.
Saying "interesting" is roughly equivalent to "You successfully caught my attention.jpg"
"It's not speculation, it's biological analysis. The same facial features, the same little habits, always likes to touch the left ear when planning some dangerous scheme." Miyano Shiho-san, wearing loose white cotton pajamas and standing barefoot on her balcony, added confidently.
Miyano's Observation Notes, Page 108: How to Capture a Dangerous Sister Through Micro-Expressions (with a Case Study of Romance Psychology)
Shiho gently put down the cup again, "Also, the molecular formula of APTX-4869 that fascinated you last night."
Biology Princess's Scientific Eyes. Consider renaming it "The Detective's Microscope Girl." In ancient times, she'd be able to see through Empress Wu's wig.
Okay, at this moment, the BGM automatically switches to "There is Only One Truth (Sulli Special Edition)"
In the early morning, the air was quiet. Although the sun was shining brightly on the balcony, I felt quite nervous.
Vermouth, call her Sharon or Absinthe, who cares... Stripped of her vest, she slumped lazily in her chair, the corners of her lips slightly raised, as if she were actually quite happy. Her golden hair, in the rising sun, was dazzling.
"The Thousand Faces of the Movie Queen's Sitting Philosophy"... seemingly lazy, yet actually tense, like a cheetah. The upturned smile is comparable to that of the Mona Lisa.
"Oh, my smart little scientist. I thought I was smart enough." At this point, there was no point in quibbling, so Vermouth admitted it generously.
I don’t know if it was to relieve the tension, but Vermouth suddenly switched to Kansai accent.
The class "How to Say Love Words in Kansai Dialect" is now open. The comments might be "Orange is in great shape" and "Sister, kill me!" Consider giving the voice actor twenty chicken legs.
"You're certainly astute. I just happen to be familiar with the effects of these special compounds," Shiho said calmly, but there was a hint of bitterness between the lines. "After all, I also contributed a lot."
A scientist's occupational hazard: reciting molecular formulas during arguments. This bitterness is tinged with a hint of stubbornness, like a programmer forced to work overtime saying, "I wrote this bug."
"Sherry," Vermouth called softly, using this code name to convey a little intimacy, "I've been looking for you."
Continue to showdown. Danger alert. When Medusa starts talking in a breathy voice, she is either going to petrify you or kiss you (or both).
"Obviously. However, your investigation methods... are truly unique."
Translation: Your way of courting your wife is to run into her at the London Opera House and then chase her to my lab in Tokyo? Consider this a candidate for "Most Hardcore Proposal of the Year." With this level of tsundere, Shirley might have evolved from Haibara Ai to Haibara Niuhuru Ai.
"Why, you prefer to organize those old-fashioned routines?"
As soon as the words fell, a tacit laughter broke out between the two of them. It was a tacit laughter that only members of the organization who had experienced the vicissitudes of life and were accustomed to darkness could make.
Suddenly, like a spring breeze, flowers in the Black Organization blossomed.
But when you think about it carefully, how much helpless understanding of "being fellow wanderers in this world" is hidden in this laughter?
The famous scene of "Two-way Redemption Laughter" is expected. Consider capturing this laughter and adding it to the collection of "Dark Queen's Heart-Stirring Moments". At this moment, Li Shangyin's poem is like this: "I don't have the wings of a colorful phoenix, but my heart is filled with darkness."
"So, what's next?" Shiho asked. "Have you reported to them? The actress and assassin has once again completed the mission 'perfectly'?"
What a direct hit. But I was a little too anxious, and the initiative I had just gained was returned to me.
After all, Shiho is only nineteen years old and lacks life experience. When facing the Hollywood enchantress, she is like this both on and off the boat. She rushes to take the initiative, but loses it because of some details, allowing Vermouth to easily turn the tables.
So yesterday, Vermouth was a little worried. After the fierce fight in the laboratory, it seemed that the way the two of them got along was changing. But after staying in Shiho's apartment for a night, and regaining her lost ground in various... ways, her confidence returned.
Ginger, or the old, is still spicy. Especially for a human enchantress like Sister Bei.
At this moment, Shirley's anxious, three-part, lethal question could be called a brewery version of "Dead Woman." At this moment, the microscope girl noticed her fingers tightening slightly around the coffee cup... This was irrefutable evidence of her nervousness, her words betraying her integrity.
Vermouth stood up gracefully and walked towards the balcony railing. Her silk nightgown, tied loosely, outlined her graceful curves, and her long golden hair fluttered softly in the wind.
It looks like a cat that has just had a full meal, elegant and wildly charming.
The morning sun gradually rose higher, and the golden sunlight filled the entire balcony, giving her beautiful profile a golden edge.
Eternal beauty slowly unfolded before Shiho, and for a moment, she seemed to have an ageless face.
Those deep blue eyes, illuminated by the morning light, looked like the purest sapphires.
This is a rare look of the Chaoyang Beilu ink fountain.
This scene can only be seen by triggering the plot of spending a night with her... and having a thorough academic exchange.
Shiho couldn't help but linger on her.
Compared with the classic scene of Huiyuan at sunset in the original work, it can be regarded as a complementary couple's version.
The rising sun and the setting sun.
"What if I say that I have always been protecting you?" She turned around and looked at Shiho tenderly.
A huge barrage of "She loves her so much" should be floating here.
High-energy warning ahead. Vermouth unleashes her ultimate truth-telling, Schrödinger's confession... Consider immediately starting a lie detector, or perhaps a kiss to verify, or... a balcony bang?
After all, this is not morning light, it is clearly a spotlight on the ageless actress. You might consider applying for a patent for "capturing forbidden aesthetics with natural light."
The senior female killer of the winery launched a beauty attack online. This wave is the morning light side profile kill.
At this moment, Oscar Wilde’s spirit is possessing me: “To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance… but to love Beilu Modou is the beginning of a lifelong destiny.”
"Then I would say that your acting is even more superb than what the Oscar critics said," Shiho said coldly.
With an IQ of 180, she drank coffee and was quite sober. She wasn't easily seduced by the beauty before her, as she had been last night or on that snowy night in London, nor was she easily fooled by empty words of love. (Flag high)
"My dear, the essence of great acting may be to cover up the truth with lies." Vermouth turned and looked at her deeply. "Why do you think no one noticed your little trick? And why do you think you still had time to leisurely develop an antidote in your own laboratory?"
There must be a Leeuwenhoek microscope here. It turns out that the coffee beans in Shirley's lab are always replaced with Blue Mountain coffee. Is this actually Vermouth's doing? (Bushi, and the details are not important)
Shiho felt as if the whole world was tilted slightly: "You have been..."
"I left false clues, misled the organization's resources, and played my own long game." Vermouth's smile was filled with genuine warmth. "The organization thought they controlled me, just like they thought they controlled you. But they will never understand that the most dangerous creatures are precisely those they think they have tamed."
"On the Dialectical Relationship between Animal Tamers and Birds of Prey." The so-called tamer eventually becomes the prey; the Black Organization has become a major cat cafe without even realizing it.
"Why?" Shiho also stood up and moved closer to her. "Why would you risk everything for someone you've never met?"
"Shocked. aptx4869 actually has a blind date function." Here, Conan adjusts his glasses to reflect the light: So you formed the Rejuvenation Alliance behind my back?
"Because thirty years ago, I made a choice that granted me eternal youth, but also deprived me of something I cherished more... trust, perception, and..."
Vermouth reached out her hand, and her long, beautiful fingertips, which had been exercised all night, gently touched Shiho's jaw. "In London, I met you, so talented, yet so heartbroken. Even so, you chose to resist. At that moment, I remembered the pursuit of truth in my youth."
You can consider inserting the "London Has Fallen" BGM here, and pay attention to the mechanical analysis of the fingertips... The 45-degree angle is ergonomic, and the force of one Newton implies the threshold for breaking through the psychological defense line. He is a true master of flirting in the lesbian circle.
This...secret confession, between the two of them...is gorgeous, fragile, and has a hidden edge.
Shiho's clever little brain worked rapidly, and she came up with seven possibilities: 1. Truth 2. Lie 3. Half-truth 4. Organizational mission 5. Sudden impulse 6. Substitute literature 7. Malice of Gosho Aoyama.
How a Highly Intelligent Lady Falls in Love While Doing Scientific Research in a Winery
"This could be another form of manipulation." Shiho whispered, but her face involuntarily moved towards Vermouth's touch.
Regarding the fact that my reason and emotions have reached a consensus in the professional field of Hollywood Temptress, the scientist said no, but the pretty little face had already honestly begun to identify.
You can consider setting "Duplicity" as the scene BGM.
"Maybe. So what?" Vermouth did not dwell on this topic and expressed her "believe it or not" attitude with a rhetorical question.
After all, if the other party doesn't believe it, there is no point in wasting time talking to them, and you will only lose the initiative.
The ultimate secret of Vermouth's Thousand Layers of Tricks: transforming a multiple-choice question into a fatal question with only one option.
"Hmm..." Shiho smiled, "Although, perhaps this process isn't that pleasant."
Classic tsundere Sulli. This isn't "unpleasant" at all; it's clearly a renaissance of the "true fragrance law." Consider changing the title to "About the Villain Queen's Becoming a Lover."
"I hope you can find the key to your cage, little scientist. Then, make good use of it." Vermouth took a step back and picked up her coat.
The matter is done and I leave.JPG
As for the "key to open your cage" or something like that... this may not be an antidote, it is the password to love.
Or, what is the clue?
It would also be in line with her character. If it was just because Shiho...suddenly burst out with amazing...physical strength and skills in the laboratory, and the two of them equalized the power relationship between them, and Vermouth suddenly took the initiative to reveal all the information she knew about the aptx4869 prototype drug and the antidote, then it would be too weak.
The Queen plays the game, surely bit by bit, using bait to catch her prey.
Pleasant physical communication is one thing, and the core secrets of the organization are another.
Moreover, in Vermouth's view, she has lived two lives and experienced all kinds of thrilling situations between life and death. No matter how smart Shiho Miyano is, she is just a 19-year-old girl. Whether she can withstand the shocking secrets of those organizations remains to be seen in the long run.
After all, her own life, property, and most importantly, everything depends on this antidote.
"Wait." Shiho knew that if she tried to persuade him to stay, her aura would be weakened, but she still spoke.
Vermouth, with her back to her, could hardly suppress the smile on the corner of her beautiful mouth.
Sister Beijie’s OS: The arrogant younger scientist, who clearly knows he shouldn’t be anxious but still gets anxious, is so cute, so kawaii!
"My mission here has concluded, and I have a flight to catch. Next up, I might be starring in a thriller about a scientist who discovers the secret to eternal youth. It's kind of art imitating life, don't you think?"
The ambiguous tone of "little scientist" with a nickname is a high-level operation in the yuri Shura field. #What do you want to do by calling me a nickname?
When Bayley casually mentioned "thriller", it was actually a preview: the next movie she will star in is "The Scientist's Heart-beating Moment".
This "art imitates life" is a two-layered line. The first layer is her professional rhetoric, and the second layer is a subtle confession: "You remind me of the sincere human emotions in the long river of time." (crying)
"On the Self-cultivation of Actresses: Hiding Confessions in Movie Trailers" (the title could be "How to Trap a 19-Year-Old Genius Girl") #Advanced player of the play within the play.
As expected of Vermouth, even her goodbyes were like the heroine leaving the stage in a Hollywood romance movie, leaving behind a floor full of heartbeats.
And they clearly stayed up all night, making out and arguing, and then this morning they just drank coffee and left. Tsk tsk tsk.
It's probably a reflection of the English saying, "hot in the sheets, cold on the streets."
Hollywood's allure, this "I have a flight to catch" maneuver is a classic "give the sugar first, then run away" tactic. She also doesn't forget to show off her mysterious confidence in her eternal youth. This self-marketing is a perfect score.
The Black Organization's ultimate weapon might be Vermouth's glint in the eye, not APTX4869, which is far less deadly than the smile in her eyes. APTX4869 says: "Thank you for mocking me." (Mary knocks on a nearby hotel: "Shiho baby, are you still going to make the antidote?")
Vermouth, the classic "She kills without a gun" and "a glance is more powerful than a thousand troops." #TheQueen's Killing Smile Rule
"Hashidama." Shiho grabbed her wrist. "Is all this true? London... and everything that happened last night?"
This "wait a minute" is a classic contradiction of "I don't believe it but I really want to believe it." The wrist-grabbing gesture clearly means: "Don't leave. I haven't decided whether I want to fall in love with you yet."
Vermouth did not answer, but took advantage of the height difference between them and leaned over to kiss her softly.
That kiss contained the richness of coffee, the bitterness of truth, and the charm woven from beautiful lies.
When she pulled away, Shiho caught a warmth in her eyes that he had never seen before.
The only flaw of the Thousand Faces Queen: her expression management system was broken by an 18-year-old genius girl. #Pupilquake Two-Way Version
"We wear masks to protect ourselves, but sometimes, masks can also protect the truth beneath them." Vermouth caressed Shiho's cheek one last time. "The question isn't what's true or false, but whether we have enough courage to acknowledge their existence."
Classic Vermouth quotes, philosophical killer. If you can't get confused, her efforts are in vain.
She's talking about masks, she's talking about emotions, she's playing it straight. This quote could be printed directly on the February 14th page of the Lily Literary Quote Calendar.
Philosophy exam focus: On how to use existentialism to package the confession of a tsundere sister. #DistilleryLoveDialectics
This wave of philosophical remarks directly elevated their relationship to the level of "true self and disguise".
Vermouth, still maintaining that classic Hollywood elegance, walked towards the door but then stopped.
"If you come to London again, why don't we go to that jazz bar in the West End on Thursday? I go there occasionally to listen to music when I think about... what it's like to be an ordinary human being." She switched to English. Sometimes, some emotions are better expressed in one's mother tongue. (If English is indeed Vermouth's mother tongue.)
Are jazz bars the new yuri hotspot? Miyano Shiho has one in Tokyo, and Vermouth also frequents one in London.
Sister Bei's "ordinary human feelings" = I began to doubt whether I have a heart, or is it for you (tears)
She was not leaving, she was leaving room for Zhi, leaving a secret signal, and a chance for a "fateful reunion."
Vermouth's "See you in London" move is a classic "I had a great time last night, but I have to go, but I'll be back" love story. She also flaunts her vulnerability, saying, "I have normal human emotions, too." Can Shiho handle this cute contrast? #LondonForeshadowing
The Human Observation Project adds a new experimental subject: the actress who falls in love. #Brewery team building new venue London
"Maybe I'll go there too," Shiho blurted out in English, "when I remember that there are some mysteries worth risking everything for."
On the surface: the mystery of the antidote, in reality: the mystery of the taste of the lady's lipstick. Miyano Shiho, a tenth-level scholar in Beika Town with a sly tongue and a straight body.
As for the word "despite everything"? Having said that, is the next chapter going to be about eloping?
Vermouth may be a fighter among drama queens, while Shiho is a love-brained person among rational people. One is cold and the other is hot, and their sense of fate is full.
Shiho, what will you choose next?
A. Science first, work first, antidote first, love later;
B. Book a flight now and go to a London jazz bar to meet Ms. Bayley on Thursday.
C. Study the behavioral psychology behind Vermouth’s smile;
D. Just kiss back and don’t waste any more words.
After Vermouth left, Shiho stood on the balcony for a long time, her delicate face facing the rising sun.
Closing her eyes, she saw countless possibilities: freedom, revenge, redemption. But what she saw more was the reflection of two women, who discovered something unexpected beneath each other's masks.
She thought about the details of her conversations with Belmodei during these days, the games people were addicted to, and the true feelings that occasionally surfaced.
Perhaps the most dangerous thing in life is not taking risks, but never giving it a try.
When she walked into the room, Vermouth's kiss was still lingering on her lips, soft and gentle.
Shiho raised the corners of her lips, turned around to change her clothes, and prepared to go to the laboratory to start her day's work.
She wants to complete the antidote and plan a new life. Perhaps, next Thursday night, she will be in London on a date with a mysterious woman.
After all, in the end, aren't they all just searching for a bit of reality in this world full of beautiful lies?
Thinking of this, she sighed. The reality of this world, especially in Mihua, was still full of dangers.
A pale golden light quietly passed over the East Asian metropolis that was awakening from its slumber.
Shiho let go of her longing for a date in London and regained her composure.
While changing clothes, I reviewed what happened in Tokyo.
In the laboratory, when Vermouth mentioned the "eternal youth drug", she went to get the gun herself, and then the plot... took a turn for the worse.
Although from the perspective of personal relationship, the two's...top and bottom scores were equalized, no information about the prototype of Drug A was obtained.
Next time, maybe I should listen to her calmly. Maybe I can get more useful information.
Thinking of this, she looked forward to seeing Vermouth again in London even more.
