Chapter 76 Leaving
Chapter 77 Departure
"Bing... don't... don't leave me alone... ah!" Shiho's soft snort broke the silence of the bedroom. Feeling the darkness beside her, she let out a sigh of relief. "Is it a dream?" Shiho laughed at herself. In the dream just now, the boy who had always protected her was shot dead by Gin, and she was the culprit. Because of Gin's jealousy, Bing and Gin had a fight, which led to Bing's tragic death under Gin's gun.
The next day, when Shiho woke up, it was already afternoon, but the lights in the room were not on and the bedroom door was closed, so the room was still as dark as night.
After calming down, Shiho, who had just woken up from a nightmare, closed her eyes again. Suddenly, she felt a hint of sweetness in the air. She habitually leaned towards herself and found that the boy who always made her jealous was gone. With a slight tremor in her heart, Shiho opened her eyes and turned on the light. What she saw was a bright red rose next to her. Recalling the dream just now, before Bing left, he also left a bright red rose.
"Ice..." Shiho's pupils shrank. She quickly stood up from the bed and walked outside. Just as she walked into the hall, a very familiar voice rang in her ears.
"Ah, Shiho, you're awake." A black-haired boy was sitting in the living room, chewing a piece of steak. Looking at the smiling boy, Shiho's heart calmed down a little. Then he raised his eyebrows and shouted at the boy. "Asshole, you left without telling me."
I looked at Shiho with amusement. "I just went out to get some food. Are you that nervous?"
"You... Humph." Shiho was speechless and had to change the subject. "Why put a rose next to it?"
"Hmm..." I didn't answer her directly, but looked at her intently. "83..."
"Huh?" Shiho looked at me in confusion.
"Well... although I'm a little bit inferior to Sister Jingliu, but at my age now, I'm already in a good range." I said with a grin, showing my white teeth.
Shiho raised her eyebrows and looked down hastily. It seemed as if her face was like a kettle of boiling water, steaming out. She found that one of the buttons on the front of her pink pajamas had been opened, revealing half of her fullness.
He quickly turned around and buttoned up his shirt, then looked at me with a murderous look on his face. "Bing...you will die miserably today!"
"Wow... Help me!!! Please spare me, Queen..." I begged loudly. I really shouldn't have played such a joke on Shiho. When Shiho got angry, she was so scary.
Two hours later, I finally got Shiho's forgiveness in exchange for kneeling on the washboard and not doing it again, as well as a ruby worth tens of millions. I sighed in disappointment, fortunately, I had a lot of money to make from previous missions, otherwise this ruby would not be so easy to get.
After waiting for Shiho to finish her meal, I looked at the time again and it was already past four in the afternoon.
"Bing, how's your wording?" Shiho wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue and asked me.
"Well. It's almost there, but there are still some parts that I can't express well. How about this, Shiho, you go and help me with a few things first. Then when you come back I will tell you everything." I took a glass of ice water and drank it all.
"Okay, what do you want me to do?" Shiho looked at me seriously.
"Well. Listen carefully. What I am going to say next must not be known to anyone else. Not even Sister Mingmei. Do you understand?"
"...Yeah." Shiho frowned, but still agreed to my request. Although Akemi was relegated to the periphery, Shiho is still a core researcher in the organization anyway, and she will always have the opportunity to see her sister, so it's not abrupt for me to say this.
"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." Shiho thought about it and nodded to me.
"Second, how many people know about the experiment on mice with cell degeneration?"
"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~" I smiled happily at Shiho.
"Stop talking nonsense. What exactly do you want me to do?" Shiho looked at my happy expression and curled her lips in disdain.
"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. One last thing. Do you still have the medicine that was made at the same time as Kudo Shinichi?"
"There should be more, in my laboratory. I was very disgusted by the fact that the organization used that drug without my permission, so at my strong request, they have taken back the remaining drugs. Why are you asking this?" Shiho was a little confused. Everything I said from the beginning was related to APTX-4869.
"Well. Go to the lab in a moment and do the two things I just said. Then secretly take out the drugs that were taken at the same time as Kudo. If there are no left, take out the drugs that were taken recently." At this point, my expression had become serious. "Take it out... Do you want to..." Shiho's sensitive senses seemed to have sensed my thoughts.
"Shiho. I know you have a lot of things to ask. But don't ask first, okay? Please trust me." I grabbed Shiho's shoulders and looked at her very seriously.
"...I understand. I'll do it right away, but Bing...you have to promise me not to do anything dangerous..." A trace of worry flashed in Shiho's eyes.
"Yeah. Don't worry, don't you know me? I won't do anything I'm not sure of."
"Okay, wait for me, I'll be back." After getting my affirmative response, Shiho left my room with a look of worry.
After Shiho left, I took out my phone and dialed a number. After a few simple words, I hung up. Then I picked up the rose that Shiho had just placed on the table and smiled faintly. "Sorry, Shiho, if everything goes well, we'll see each other in a month or two. As elementary school students."
————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————
When Shiho came back after completing my request, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Actually, it was not Shiho's fault that she was too slow, but this job took a lot of time to complete. On the one hand, she had to delete the data, and on the other hand, she had to be careful not to be discovered by the staff around her. So it was difficult to wait for everyone to leave.
"Bing..." Shiho returned to my room, breathing heavily.
"Welcome back Shiho." I looked at her with a smile. "Did you bring the things back?"
"Well, there are still two pills left of the same medicine I took as Kudo Shinichi. Is that enough?" Shiho handed me a small box and calmed her breathing.
"Yeah. That's enough. Thank you for your hard work, Shiho." After taking the box, I walked forward and gently hugged her.
"Ahh... what are you doing?" Shiho was startled by my sudden action and subconsciously put her hands around my neck.
"Don't you want me to tell you everything? Come to my bedroom and I will tell you everything." I smiled faintly and walked towards the bedroom holding Shiho.
After putting Shiho on the bed, I sat beside her, gently ruffled her brown bangs and smiled. "Shiho, before I tell you everything, tell me first, do you believe me?"
"Hmm..." Shiho gave me the answer without even thinking.
"Haha, then you will listen to what I say, right?"
"Didn't I listen to you and do what you wanted to do?" Shiho looked at me with some resentment.
"Hehe, that's true. Then just listen to me... Even if I'm gone, you have to live well on your own."
"Bing...what exactly do you want to say?" Shiho's eyes were full of anxiety at this time, and she seemed to understand what I meant.
"Shiho. You should know the significance of these things I asked you to do for me, right?" I reached out and hugged her delicate body.
"Although I'm not sure, I can guess it a little bit... But I still want to hear it from you yourself. And I hope my guess is wrong." Shiho looked at me worriedly.
"Well, I think you are right. I want to escape from the organization." I looked at Shiho seriously. After hearing what I said, Shiho's body trembled slightly.
"No! 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 escape to, the organization will always hunt you down!" Shiho grabbed my clothes tightly and said loudly.
"Right. That's why I asked you to help me with these things."
"You mean... you want to..."
"Shh..." I interrupted Shiho again, not letting her continue.
"Impossible. That's too dangerous! Bing. I won't allow you to do that!" Tears flashed in the corners of Shiho's eyes.
"Hehe. Shiho, I didn't want to do this at first. But... I have a reason to do this now." I wiped the tears from the corners of Shiho's eyes and said softly. "Shiho. I just want to say one thing to you now." I stretched my hand through Shiho's neck and pulled her head towards me. Finally, I gently touched my forehead to Shiho's pink forehead.
"Shiho. You must remember that I have always loved you deeply."
"Hyo...don't..." Shiho's tears welled up again. "Don't leave me alone..."
"Silly girl... How can I bear to leave you alone..." Without saying anything more, I gently kissed Shiho's soft lips. With this kiss, it was as if time stood still and it was as if the world was eternal.
"...Hmm." With a muffled groan from Shiho, I gently chopped Shiho's neck with my hand. Shiho's eyes gradually lost focus, and finally she fell softly into my arms. I reached out and carried Shiho back to the bed, tucking the quilt for her. Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, a feeling of heartache could not help but emanate from me.
"I'm sorry, Shiho. I have paved the smoothest road for you. In the next one or two months, everything depends on you." I kissed her forehead gently, turned around and walked out of the room, put a piece of paper on the table, pressed it with a short Magnum on the lower right corner, and pressed it with a rose on the upper left corner. I took out a capsule from the box that Shiho gave me and put it in a box with a ring, and then put the box into the necklace. Similarly, I put another capsule in a slightly smaller box and pressed it on the paper. Finally, I looked at my room affectionately, smiled faintly, and with the sound of the door opening, I left this room where I had lived for ten years without a trace of regret.
