Chapter 650 Neon and Sparks
"So, what you are saying is that APTX4869 can indeed rejuvenate a person's body, but it cannot change the real 'core' of a person, so even if it really changes from an old man to a As a young person, the inside will also rot. "
The neon night view of Tokyo was reflected on the window. Haibara Ai nodded slowly while looking at the light and shadow outside the window.
"I am not the real inventor of APTX4869. When you saw Belmode, you may have already guessed." Taking a deep breath of the leather-scented air in the car, Haihara Ai relaxed and leaned against Among the soft leather seats, "I was probably not even born when Belmod took similar drugs."
"Yes, although you are a unique genius, there is no doubt about it, but unintentionally Offended, just based on the few years you have worked in the organization, it is still impossible for you to independently develop such an amazing drug." Karasawa, who was still dressed as Akechi Goro, nodded while holding the steering wheel.
Haibara Ai agreed with Karasawa's guess and explained: "Well, according to the information I have come across, the practice of organizations poisoning assassination targets with drugs while observing symptoms has long existed. Kudo can only be ranked second on the list. The last few. I initially thought that the direction of my improvement of drugs should be to reduce mortality, but their attitude is very subtle. "
It's true.
If nothing else is mentioned, I will mention it in the future. The Haneda Koji case, which is closely related to Rum, happened 17 years ago, when Miyano Shiho was probably just born.
Karasawa has always understood Bermod's hatred for Miyano Shiho as a continuation of her parents' feelings and an ongoing hatred for this drug research and development line.
The existence of the ageless witch Belmod itself is excellent evidence for this argument.
"They don't seem to care whether the drug will kill people. In our second-phase animal experiments, the mortality rate was close to 100%, which is intolerable in ordinary research and development, but their focus is more on the overall drug response of the dead animals. "I once thought that their purpose was to develop a murderous drug that was not easy to detect."
Haihara Ai lowered his head and carefully looked at his little arms and legs that were now children.
That's why she was so surprised after discovering the degeneration of the experimental mice and the disappearance of Kudo Shinichi.
Looking back now, she, the conductor of the experiment, was probably the one who was kept in the dark.
"So, do you think the reason why Belmode hates you so much is because she has experienced the side effects of this drug?" Tangze said, raising his eyebrows in amusement.
There is no doubt that Bellmode is younger, at least younger than the Sharon Wynyard she once played.
When Sharon appeared in the public eye, she was similar to the age of Chris Wynyard, who she is currently using, indicating that she was already a user of APTX, or silver bullet, decades ago. .
Super Game spoiler Karasawa knows very well that unlike survivors of new drugs such as Conan and Miyano Shiho, she has serious side effects, including but not limited to insomnia, nightmares, pain, etc. Although she She looks young and beautiful, and has unlimited glory, but no one knows how much a heavy price has been paid.
"It's more than that. Tang Ze, when a person gets old, his entire physiological system is actually completely different from when he was young." Haiyuan Ai opened his five fingers, raised them in front of his face, and looked at The light passed through her small palm, "Metabolism, endocrine, blood circulation... Have you heard that when people reach a certain age, their sleep time will become shorter and shorter because melatonin levels will continue to decrease. Organs will begin to fail. The organization begins to age. This is the final chapter of life. "
Stopping at a traffic light intersection, Tang Ze turned his head and looked at the little girl who was smiling at the shadow of his palm.
The fragile confusion and childishness faded from her face, and she looked at her hand, as if touching something invisible through it.
The person speaking at this moment is Miyano Shiho, who is omnipotent in his own field, just like Athena.
Although she has a lot of weakness and pessimism in her personality and behavior, as a true young genius, she certainly has her own arrogance and self-control.
“I understand now. The effect of APTX is like reversing the continued shortening of telomeres and forcibly turning the scale of life counterclockwise, but these traces of aging have already caused trauma to them. Just Like Belmode, as far as I know, her sleep is so short that it can be ignored. Even if she barely relies on medicine to fall asleep, she can hardly sleep peacefully..."
After saying this, she turned her head and talked to Tang Ze looked at each other and smiled brightly.
"That's why they need cognitive science. They need to literally change the 'soul'... just like you're doing in the lab.
"I was thinking, they It is impossible to have such magical power as you. How did you guess that cognition can in turn affect reality and achieve a feat similar to 'resurrection'? Now I understand.
"The time given by APTX and the new life brought by cognitive learning, Tangze, this is their purpose, 'Reverse the flow of time and bring the dead back to life!'"
At the moment when the traffic light changed, the display screen at the intersection finished playing the last advertisement and the screen suddenly lit up.
The bright white light shone along the car window and onto Haihara Ai's face, illuminating her lovely and delicate face clearly.
With a high smile on her lips.
Tang Ze was stunned for a few seconds, then at the urging of the vehicle behind him, he released the brakes and started forward.
Always treating her as a little sister who still needs his care, he almost forgot——
Although Miyano Shiho is a girl with a gentle personality and no power to restrain a chicken, He was also a general who scolded Fang Qiu in the laboratory.
Now, it seems that she has finally grasped her own weapon and found the killer move that can deliver a winning blow.
"They have lost their uncle and aunt and have nothing else to rely on. Wearing delicate skins cannot change their nature. Give me some time and I will catch them, Karasawa!"
Retract Looking at the girl's peripheral vision, Tang Ze stepped on the accelerator, quickly changed lanes, and also raised the corners of his mouth.
She is so beautiful like this.
————
“Go, get some rest early.” Looking at Haihara Ai, who was excited and still had a smile on her face, she jumped out of the car like a real little girl. , Tangze asked, "Don't work too late, sister Mingmei will worry."
"...They say I just look like a child." Haiyuan Ai, who was about to run towards the house, paused and muttered in a low voice, "I used to work like this, my sister loves to worry too much."
Even though she and Haibara Ai knew each other's existence and could chat with her sister every day, Miyano Akemi had no intention of removing the high-power telescope upstairs.
As long as there is no real day and night contact, my sister should still be worried.
This should be called, elder sister is like mother? In other words, Miyano Akemi was suffocated by her past life of less gathering and more separation?
In short, using high-powered telescopes to determine her sister's daily routine is something Miyano Akemi likes to do these days. Unless Karasawa really has an urgent need to work overtime, she basically doesn't allow Haibara Ai to stay up late.
"That only means that your previous job was even more unhealthy. Well, have a good sleep. Everything will come in time. There is no need to rush."
"I know..." Haiyuan Ai began to say goodbye, hesitating. After a moment, he turned back and asked carefully, "Well, what do you think of the plan I proposed before?"
"It's a bit risky. To be honest, even if you haven't become smaller, you are not Her opponent." Tang Ze patted the steering wheel and said this. Seeing her face stiffen, he softened his tone and said, "But it is indeed a good plan."
"You mean, you agree with my idea?" Haiyuan Ai's eyes lit up.
"Don't worry. No matter how many problems arise, I'm still here." Tang Ze leaned out and rubbed her head twice.
After breaking away from Tang Ze's rubbing hands, Haiyuan frowned, closed the car door, turned around and ran towards the doctor's house: "You are also an arrogant maniac. Good night, Tang Ze!"
< br>"Good night." Waving in the direction she ran away, Tang Ze turned his head with a smile, restarted the car, and said to himself, "What do you mean 'ye'..."
Vehicle Passage Pass through the alley in the 2-chome residential area and get on the city road again.
Karasawa doesn't have his own car - oh, not counting the flashy sports cars in the stronghold, which are too eye-catching, but the Phantom Thieves' public car - he drove to pick up Belmod and Naturally, the car that took Haiyuan Ai home was borrowed from someone.
After using it, he has to send it back properly.
————
"Mr. Amuro, I put the key directly on the shelf at your door——" Karasawa walked along the stairs to the second floor. When the call was connected, he had already walked to Toru Amuro's room. in front of the door.
The restless Ireland was temporarily suppressed by Belmode, so Toru Amuro changed the car back to his beloved white Mazda, leaving several replacement vehicles idle to deal with Ireland's tracking. In the garage.
If you want to borrow a car with excellent performance and a relatively low profile, looking for him is undoubtedly Tangze's best choice now.
By the way, the cars that the FBI can provide for casual use are all bulletproof pickup trucks and the like. They have a kind of American soldier beauty that Karasawa doesn't even think about.
As soon as he finished speaking, the apartment door in front of him was opened with a "swipe". Toru Amuro, who was wearing home clothes but obviously still working, raised his head from the information in his hand and looked at Tang Ze glance.
"Come in directly, I just have something to ask you."
What are you doing? Are you ready to torture a wave of monster thieves for their identity?
Remembering what happened last time he came to the apartment, Tangze, who always felt that there was something in his words, retracted his feet alertly.
It's already very embarrassing to fall off the horse. Wouldn't it be better to save him some face and see through it without telling him?
Seeing him hunch his shoulders and run away as if the situation was not going well, Toru Amuro rolled his eyelids.
This kid probably realized that something was wrong after being deceived by him last time. There is a high probability that he has realized that his identity has been exposed.
From that day on, whenever he expressed that he wanted to talk alone about something, Tangze acted like a frightened bird, as if he was afraid that he would handcuff him away directly, or simply expose the situation.
Really, who is the guilty one? Why does he, the victim who was kept in the dark, still have to protect the face of this liar...
Cursing in his heart, Toru Amuro stretched out his hand, quickly and accurately lifted up Karasawa's collar, and pulled Karasawa, who still looked like Goro Akechi, directly into the door.
"Don't make trouble, I want to ask you about business." He grabbed Tang Ze, who was about to run away at any time as soon as he let go, and walked back to the restaurant filled with documents. "When I screened the documents earlier, I mainly focused on I focused on your father and ignored some important information."
Pushed to the chair by him, Tang Ze looked at the photos that Amuro Toru pushed in front of him.
This is a group photo of the wedding scene. Judging from the old and faded state of the photo, it seems to be quite old.
In the center of the photo is the newlyweds in formal attire. The black-haired groom embraces the blond bride. The pure white suit and wedding dress reflect iridescent reflections in the sunlight. Relatives and friends surround them. There is also a smile full of blessings on the face, a beautiful spring day.
Tang Ze recognized a few very familiar figures from the photos at a glance, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Fortunately, Akai Shuichi was still very young at that time. He was held in the arms of Akai and his wife who came to Japan to attend the wedding. He was still in the state of a baby and had no distinguishing features.
Otherwise, just like his eldest cousin, who had the same irritating bangs that he grew up with, Tohru Amuro should not have this attitude now. He would have to stick a gun to his head to force a confession.
——Speaking of which, Shuichi Akai’s spiral air bangs were actually done by him, instead of being born with them. I’m shocked.
Leaning at the table, the person who was about to ask questions one by one put away the daily mask belonging to Toru Amuro, with a serious look on his face.
Well, he should be called Jianggu Ling now. The one who is talking is obviously an undercover police officer.
"Hsushi Miyano, Elena Miyano." First pointing at the newcomer in the center, Rei Fukiya moved his fingertips twice and pointed at the two people standing on the left and right sides. "Karasawa Ikawa, and your mother, who was still called Sera Leona at that time."
"...It's really amazing. I bet, except for people of my parents' generation in your photo, Maybe our entire family has never seen them before." Tang Ze looked at the handsome young man with cat eyes and the slender blonde beauty under his fingers and sighed sincerely.
How about you join the organization as a bourbon, and those other fake liquors are all in the action team? As expected of you, Jianggu Ling.
"Don't change the subject." Qu raised his finger and tapped Karasawa's head, and he clicked on the photo again, "When I investigated before, I ignored the surnames of your mother and Elena Miyano. I didn’t even realize that they are actually a pair of sisters.”
Tang Ze looked at the subtle expression on his face and nodded heavily with deep understanding.
Guess what? The unscrupulous original author thought so too.
"You have the nerve to nod. So, you and Shirley are basically cousins. Miyano Akemi, the so-called Masami Hirota who died in your hands, is also your sister. "After discovering that Karasawa was playing tricks under his nose at such an early stage, and even asking him to help with the aftermath and solve Professor Hirota's problem, Rei Fukiya felt his head throbbing.
This kid's clever ideas have reached a level that is completely unpredictable. Unprecedented, he even sympathizes with Ireland who is chasing after Tangze trying to find something.
If they met every day, Tang Ze could hide him so easily from him who had often followed him behind him in the early days. Ireland would be afraid that he would be sold by this liar and would have to count the money for him.
"They are cousins." Karasawa emphasized seriously, "I'm a little older than Shiho."
"Don't change the subject." Crossing his arms, Rei Fukiya lowered his eyebrows dangerously, "It seems You lied to me a lot."
Tangze heyed twice and raised his hands to show no harm: "Not a lot, just a little, a little. Shiho's identity is too sensitive. I can't take any risks with her. Apart from her whereabouts, I haven't hidden much else. I've already handed over all the formulas she gave you. I think she poses no threat to you. . ”
Hearing Tang Ze’s statement, Fangtani Rei leaned back and reluctantly accepted his statement.
Well, quite candid.
No wonder the experimental project of Tang Ze and his wife has nothing to do with drug research and development, but Tang Ze can come up with many "antidotes" and "anti-drugs" for tissue medicine over and over again...
Even if Karasawa did not originally possess this part of the information. The information obtained from the Zero Group was processed by Shirley, a researcher who was familiar with the organization's drug routes. It was only a matter of time before the relevant drugs were produced.
"This is not a matter of threats or not..." Thinking of this, Fang Guling frowned, looked at Tang Ze's face, and exhaled, not knowing where to start.
Every journey has a starting point.
Although, after finishing the training at the police academy and officially becoming a police officer, his thoughts changed again and again, and he slowly established his current unshakable personal beliefs, it is natural that Rei Fukutani cannot forget What is the starting point for becoming a police officer yourself.
The reason he chose such a path was simple: he wanted to find someone.
In his childhood, which was full of thorns, he felt a rare warmth.
Just like getting a light in the cold night, this warmth supported him to correct his mentality and not go to the extreme path because of the violence and cold treatment he experienced.
At first he regarded his feelings as heartbeat, jokingly saying that this was his first love, but as time went on, as he grew up, other noises disappeared, and he fell in love with Elena The teacher's gratitude is indeed everlasting.
It was this small light that gave him the courage to warm others and continue to pass on this warmth, and gradually shaped him into the person he is today.
What no one expected was that after he had established a new self-order, he would find traces of the lady who gave him this spark in his undercover organization.
Elena Miyano is actually a member of the organization.
This was the starting point for him to investigate the deeper power of the organization. Therefore, he discovered the organization's layout in scientific research, as well as their deep roots in ordinary society and grabbing nutrients.
The man has passed away. Now, even if he wants to protect the orphan of Teacher Elena, the space he can operate is too limited due to the constraints of his identity.
Unexpectedly, because of the death of Tang Ze and his wife, he came into contact with Tang Ze Zhao. Out of his own heart, he wanted to protect the child who was involved in the storm, but became the real rescuer of them.
Going around and around, that weak fire was finally carefully protected and finally illuminated others.
Teacher Elena, will you be happy for us?
"...Tell me about it." Unconsciously, his tone softened. Fangtani Rei crossed his arms and did not continue to ask harshly, "How much can you tell me about the situation? What can I do? .”
