Chapter 216 Memories, Escape!
Chapter 217 Memories, Escape!
"Sherry!"
A thunderous sound filled my ears, startling me. When I came to my senses, I found that Bing, who had gone out to investigate, had returned to the cafe.
"Why are you so loud!" I said unhappily.
"Um... I've been calling you for a long time." Bing scratched his head and said helplessly. "What's wrong, Shiho? I rarely see you in a daze and can't hear me calling you."
"Well... I'm thinking about something." As I said that, I raised the coffee cup beside me and took a sip, only to find that the coffee inside had already gone cold.
"What are you thinking about?"
"I wonder how many things you are hiding from me." I gave Bing a resentful look. "It's been nearly three hours since you left. Does it take you that long to investigate someone?"
"Hey, sorry, sorry. Let's go back then." Bing apologized. It seemed that I was not in a good mood at the moment because of the shouting just now, and Bing's strange state today made everything unpredictable to me. However, no matter what, we have to go back first, after all, the investigation has already produced results.
I was a little tired after returning to the base. Two days of reversed day and night made me not in a good mental state. When I returned to my room, Bing gave me his room card before saying goodbye to me. I just rolled my eyes at him and went back to my room. After washing up in the evening, I thought about it and took the room card, opened his door, walked into the bedroom, and lay down beside him.
"Ah, didn't Her Majesty the Queen say that she wouldn't come today?" Bing sensed my arrival and said in a relaxed tone.
"I came here to see if you, a pervert, are asleep. If you are, I will stab you to death." I said hatefully.
"My dear, are you really willing to stab me to death?" Bing said teasingly.
"Who is your dear? Pervert. Don't touch me." I knocked away his hand that was about to wrap around my waist. Then I played with him. After a day of tension, I could only relax at this moment.
"Bing, will you tell me everything tomorrow?" After a fight, I snuggled up to him and asked softly.
"Well, but before that, I need you to help me with something. But let's talk about it tomorrow. It's time to go to bed." Bing closed his eyes first without paying attention to me. Seeing how tired he looked, I couldn't bear to pester him any more, so I rubbed against his arms. Then I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
The next day, when I woke up, it was already afternoon. Bing was not beside me. When I walked out of the room, I saw Bing eating his meal carefreely and joking with me. It seemed that he was not disturbed by what happened yesterday.
"So, what do you want me to do?" I asked him while eating the food Bing brought back.
"Well. Listen carefully, what I am going to say next must not be known to anyone else. Not even Sister Mingmei, do you understand?" Bing thought for a while and said to me.
"Yeah." Although I was a little confused, I still agreed to him.
"Well, first of all, I want to ask you, Kudo Shinichi's information is still recorded as "unknown", right?"
"That's right. What's wrong?"
"Well, that's the first thing I want you to do, change his message to 'death'. And it's best not to be discovered by others."
"why?"
"Haha. I have my reasons. Besides, aren't you also very interested in him?"
"Indeed...Okay. I promise you." If Kudo Shinichi's special case is confirmed, then this murderous poison may open a new door, provided that such a special case is within our control.
"Second, how many people know about the experiment case on mice with cell degeneration?" Bing continued.
"Probably not. I was the only one present when this experimental case occurred that day, and out of curiosity, I only recorded this information in my personal file."
"Haha. Shiho, you are really my good Shiho~" Bing said with a smile.
"So, what do you want me to do?" Looking at Bing Xiao's expression, I couldn't help but feel helpless. He was always so playful.
"Hehe. Erase this information. Can you do it?"
"Of course. But such important information..."
"Don't feel sorry, just erase it."
"...Okay. But what are you going to do?"
"I'll tell you when you come back. The last thing. Do you still have the medicine that was made at the same time as Kudo Shinichi?" Bing didn't give me a chance to ask questions and continued.
"There should be more, in my lab. I was disgusted by the organization's use of that drug without my permission, and at my strong request, the remaining drugs have been taken back. Why are you asking this?" I seemed to have guessed what Bing was going to do. But... This is too much, isn't it?
"Yes. Go to the lab in a moment and do the two things I just said. Then secretly bring out the drugs that were produced at the same time as Kudo. If there are no left, bring out the drugs that were produced recently."
"Bring it out... Do you want to..." I seemed to really understand Bing's thoughts.
"Shiho. I know you have a lot of things to ask. But don't ask first, okay? Please trust me." Bing grabbed my shoulders and looked at me very seriously.
"...I understand. I'll do it right away, but Bing...you have to promise me not to do anything dangerous..." Basically, at this moment I have determined what Bing wants to do. That medicine should be the last guarantee for him to implement his plan. So, without thinking too much, I went to the organization's research institute. After avoiding everyone's sight, I came to the data room, took out my personal data file, threw two pages of data paper into the shredder, and at the same time modified Kudo Shinichi's options in the computer and death records, and finally found the batch of problematic drugs. There are four pills in total, but if all are taken away, they will be discovered. So, I only took two from them. After doing all this, I also followed Bing's instructions and began to clean up my own operation traces. When everything was over, it was already night. I hurried back to Bing's residence. I saw Bing sitting in the room waiting for me with a calm face.
"Welcome back Shiho." He said to me with a smile "Did you bring the things?"
"Yes." I handed the small box in my pocket to Bing. "Well, I have two pills left from the same period as Kudo Shinichi. Is that enough?"
"That's enough." Bing confirmed, and then he picked me up and pulled me to his bedroom. After that, he told me what he was thinking. He wanted to escape from the organization.
————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home &Angel wings, devil wings, guardian wings————
"No!" After hearing his idea, I immediately objected. "You are the gold medal in the organization, you should know that the only way to leave the organization is to die. Otherwise, no matter where you run to, the organization will always hunt you down!"
"Well, that's why I asked you to help me do these things." Bing said calmly. "You, you really want to..." As for Bing's idea, I can only think that he is crazy. He wants to rely on that special case to escape the organization's pursuit. After all, no one would think of turning an adult back into a child. And not many people have seen Bing's appearance when he was a child. If Bing can really turn back to his childhood, then as long as he is careful, the chance of being discovered by the organization is almost zero. However, all this is based on the fact that such a special time will appear in him. The number of people poisoned to death by the organization with APTX-4869 has already exceeded hundreds. Cases like Kudo Shinichi are less than one percent, which is too risky.
"Haha. Shiho, I didn't want to do this at first. But... I have a reason to do this now." Bing put his hand through my neck and touched my forehead with his head. He said softly. "Shiho. I just want to say one thing to you now. You have to remember that I have always loved you deeply."
Bang!
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a sharp pain in my neck and lost consciousness in an instant. The last image in my mind was Bing's gentle face, but with a look of farewell. Then, my eyes went dark and I fell down.
When I woke up again, I didn't know what time it was. It was not Bing who was beside me, but Mary. Mary said that Bing gave Mary an order to come back and take care of me immediately. In other words, Bing had already left at this time. His way of saying goodbye was a parting letter. A rose, a small Magnum that he had given me but was damaged by Gin and was repairing. Also, a delicate little box. The letter described all of Bing's plans. Nothing else mattered. What mattered was that the amount of information in his letter was very large. First, he escaped from the organization by blowing up the institute and then faking his death, and the drug was only his last resort. Secondly, he said that within one to two months, something big would happen in the organization. Although I don't know what he was plotting, if he is really sure that he can control what will happen in a month, then I don't think that this plan was a temporary idea. After that, he asked me to hide the remaining pill close to my body, which means that this medicine may be able to help me. Although I don't know why he believes in this medicine so much, since he said so, I did it. Things have come to such a point that there is no way to reverse the situation.
What's left is Bing's confession to me and a shining ring. [MarryMe] Oh, if I can really escape from this hellhole, what's the harm? But... What will happen in the next month?
————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home &Angel wings, devil wings, guardian wings————
"Sherry." The day after the incident, Vermouth came to me. "Have you heard about it?"
"Are you referring to the bombing of the research institute, or the fact that you killed Bing?" According to Bing's words, I had to pretend that I knew nothing about everything to everyone in the organization, including my sister. So now when I faced Vermouth, my tone was only cold, without any emotion.
"...before he died, he asked me to help him fulfill his last wish." It was rare for Vermouth to say anything bad.
"You don't even dare to call his name?" I glared at Vermouth, and she frowned at me. She ignored my words and continued talking. "He said that in the next two months, I will be responsible for your safety."
"What does that mean?" I said calmly, without any expression that would let Vermouth see the flaw. But I secretly guessed in my heart that two months was exactly the time when Bing said that a big event would happen. Could it be that he really calculated the knowledge two months later?
"What I mean is, from today on, no matter what happens, call me." As she said that, Vermouth threw me a new cell phone, which should be used specifically to contact her.
"Is there anything else? If nothing else, I have to go to work. The research institute was destroyed and the data was lost. I don't have much time to waste with you." I took the phone, but still spoke coldly to her.
"Tell Marissa to wait for me in the HR department." Vermouth said the last words to me and then left. Judging from Vermouth's attitude, it seems that Bing really died in her hands. But in the letter, Bing told me that as long as he received the news of his death, it would prove that he escaped, but from Vermouth's eyes... Bing, I hope you are really still alive. With a thought in my mind, I went to the new temporary research institute. There are still too many things waiting for me to do there.
The next day after the transfer, Mary left me a letter, telling me that she was transferred to the periphery by Vermouth, and Taiyi, who was far away in the United States, was also transferred to an American IT company. Although I don’t know why, Vermouth should have transferred the two of them completely out of the organization. Did they want to give them freedom? I don’t know. But it’s a good thing that they can stay away from the organization. Mary didn’t mention the specific details. But knowing that they can be safe, I feel relieved. On the organization side, the only thing I can do is wait, wait until the so-called big event happens. Then I will personally experience what the so-called big event is.
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. With Vermouth's protection, every time I see Gin from the organization, he glares at me coldly and then leaves. On his face, I see a scar from a knife wound. Perhaps it was caused by the ice. But in this way, I don't have to worry about what he thinks.
In order to ensure safety, the organization transferred all of us to a new base. The backup research institute is also on track. During this period, the only thing that made me happy was that my sister's mission was basically completed. In two weeks at most, she would be able to finish all her work and come back to me. Just yesterday, she came back to see me in advance. We talked a lot. Especially about Bing. Of course, I didn't tell my sister about Bing's plan, but only told her that Bing was dead. Upon learning of Bing's death, tears welled up in my sister's eyes, but she didn't cry out loud. After all, beside her, the person who should have cried a long time ago didn't cry. How could she, as a sister, be more fragile than her sister? Although she kept comforting me, I could also read the sadness hidden in her eyes.
Soon, my sister left because she had to complete her last mission. However, the next day when she returned, I received a notice from her that her mission would be delayed for half a month. After hearing the news, I was slightly stunned. I looked at the time. Half a month later, it would be almost the time that Bing mentioned. The big thing that Bing mentioned. Will it involve my sister? I was a little worried. I prayed that the big event that Bing mentioned would not be related to my sister. But... Half a month later, my sister, who was supposed to report to me, did not come back. The only one who came back was Gin, holding the diamond bracelet that I gave to my sister.
When Gin threw the bracelet beside me, I was completely stunned. Haha, it was indeed a big event, so big that I lost my sister! And the culprit who killed my sister was Gin in front of me. I roared and asked him why he did this. But he said to me in a cold voice.
"Your sister wants to use a bank robbery and 1 billion in dirty money to buy you two sisters out of the organization."
"What?" I was stunned when I heard Gin's words. My sister didn't know about Bing, so she came up with this method, hoping that I could stay away from the organization? Sister, why are you so stupid! Why didn't you discuss it with me in advance! Tears fell silently. At this moment, I even lost the last relative who accompanied me.
"This plan was originally a good one, but unfortunately your sister's actions were discovered by the police, so I had to kill her to silence her." Gin continued.
"Shut up!" I shouted at him angrily. "Don't think I don't know you did it on purpose, you bastard!" Gin's expression became ferocious after hearing what I said. But he found that Vermouth was already standing beside him, so he restrained himself a little and glared at me coldly. "Humph, your sister's behavior has threatened the safety of the organization. In theory, you, the assistant, should also be executed, but your identity is special, so I'll let you go."
"Don't even think about it! Don't even think about letting me work for the organization again!" I shouted angrily.
"Hmph, that's not up to you." Gin left my lab without saying anything more. After seeing Gin leave, Vermouth sighed slightly and turned to me and said, "Sherry, you'd better obey orders, otherwise, I can't protect you."
"I don't need your help!" I said this to Vermouth and turned and ran out of the laboratory.
The next day, because of my protest, the boss ordered me to be locked up and wait for the decision. The person who locked me up was Gin.
"Just lock me up here for now." Gin found a small room, had Vodka push me in, and handcuffed me to the water pipe on the wall. "Sherry, if you don't obey the organization's orders, even Vermouth can't save you this time." Gin sneered.
"What do you want to do!" I looked at him coldly.
"I once fought with that guy, and I lost. Unfortunately, I have no place to wash away this shame. But my dignity cannot be trampled on, so, for you... hum." Gin threw the diamond bracelet to me. "Your fate will be announced in two days. For the next two days, you stay here and behave yourself. If you don't make it. When you go to hell, don't forget to tell that guy that I have paid off what I owe him!"
boom!
The door was tightly shut, and I was the only one left in the room. I tried to break free from the handcuffs, but to no avail. Sitting on the cold floor, my mind was in a mess. My sister was dead, and Bing was nowhere to be found. This so-called big event, oh, I think it was my wrong choice that led to the current consequences. As I thought about it, I showed a sad smile. I have come to this point, why did God let me have such a change? Bing, what should I do? Now, all I can do is recall their faces and wait for death here quietly.
Thinking back to when we first met at the age of seven, I watched him rush all the way to the gold medal, and then he risked his life to escape with a drug that could very well kill him. Bing, why are you so stupid? Can't you live with me in the organization? How could you know that I just want to be with you and live together. That's enough. Why do you have to idealize the so-called freedom? Sorry, Bing, I don't think I can hold on any longer.
I reached out my hand and brushed the necklace on my chest, tears silently falling down my cheeks, feeling indescribably sad. But just as I pulled the necklace out of my clothes, a red and white capsule fell to the ground and caught my eyes.
[You must keep this capsule close to your body at all times. But please do not take it lightly, it is the last resort.] Suddenly! I thought of what Bing said in the letter. Oh, this medicine! The probability is less than one percent!
Staring at the capsule in front of me, my thoughts suddenly became clear. The organization's big event, me in a dead end, a solitary cell. If I could just escape from these handcuffs...
"Bing, you will protect me, right?" I looked at the capsule in my hand and gently stroked the necklace on my chest. After whispering something, I raised my head and swallowed the capsule.
"Haha, dead or alive? Bing, that's less than one percent chance...you really... um!" Before I could finish my words, my heart suddenly started beating violently, my body began to gradually heat up, and I felt like my bones were melting!
"Oh, so this is the poison I invented? It seems that God has not favored me." After an extremely ugly self-deprecation, I lost my last consciousness in severe pain. The dead end is set. . .
————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & Angel’s wings, Devil’s wings, Guardian’s wings————
Cold, cold floor. I can feel the coldness. Am I dead? Yeah, I guess. But what about this consciousness?
"Ah!!!!" I suddenly opened my eyes. I'm not dead?! Looking at this familiar room, but from an unfamiliar angle, I tried to think, and turned my head to see that the handcuffs were still hanging on the water pipe, but my hands had been detached from it. Why?
"Eh?" I looked at my wrists, which were slender and tender. "Have I... really become smaller?" I stood up and looked at myself. The white coat that once fit me well was now too big, and the clothes I wore inside were also dragging.
"Bing... No way? Can you really bet on a probability of less than one percent?!" I asked myself in surprise, but soon turned my attention to the situation I was facing. Escape! Get out of here! I took off my dragging pants. I only wore my top, which had covered my knees. Putting on a white coat, I found a black plastic bag, put my clothes and some cloth and paper scraps in the room into it, and then I got in. Little by little, I moved to the garbage disposal channel and jumped down. Soon, I slid along the channel to the organization's recycling truck that specially cleaned up the garbage, but I didn't dare to move, just waited quietly. Not long after, the car started. Soon it left the base and drove towards the city.
Wow wow wow…
In the car, I could already hear the sound of rain outside. After about half an hour, the car stopped. The garbage was dumped out. Then the car drove away. One minute, two minutes, one hour, two hours, the surroundings were terribly quiet. I reached out and poked a hole in the black plastic bag, and looked out. There was nothing but garbage in front of me. But there was no one. I tore the plastic bag and walked out of the garbage dump carefully. There was still no one around.
run!
I didn't hesitate, I didn't stop. I just kept running, in the heavy rain, ignoring everything, running towards the city! Running towards freedom!
"Hu...Hu..." I don't know how long I ran. I ran to a park. Here, I saw people. A group of people holding umbrellas, walking or running in the park. They were people! And they were not from the organization! I escaped, I really escaped!
Tears mixed with raindrops fell at this moment. Freedom! How desirable! However, I didn't dare to stay for too long. I wiped the tears from my face and continued to run towards the park.
There should be homeless people in the park. They use the sky as blankets and the ground as beds. Whenever it rains, they will return to the small wooden houses they built in the park. And my goal is there. Sure enough, after searching for a while, I found a wooden house. Two dirty big feet were landing outside. The homeless man was sleeping soundly in the broken wooden house, and next to the house, there was a small bowl with a few coins and banknotes. The charity given by the Japanese to the homeless would not be stolen, so these homeless people were very confident that their property would not be stolen. It was a shame for thieves. However, now, I can't care about the so-called reputation and dignity. Now, I need the money. Quietly touching the side of the cabin, I took all the banknotes from the bowl lightly, bowed slightly to the house, and then ran away quickly.
Next, the subway, Tokyo, Beihua City! Kudo Shinichi's home! If Bing was still alive, there, Bing would definitely go there!
