In the laboratory, Miyano Shiho looked at the man who showed up to casually look through the research records, his eyes showing a disgust that he would never have seen before.
Ever since Brandy changed her parents, relaxed her supervision, and moved human experiments out of her sight, this girl who has always been like an ice cube has finally shown a trace of performance that is in line with her current age. .
"call."
She took a deep breath and reminded herself not to be deceived by Brandy's behavior. Even if her parents were cadres of the organization, she couldn't just give in. She was now conducting research for the organization just to allow her sister to live more freely outside. It was definitely not for her. Complicity with the organization.
"Brandy, the experiment has been carried out according to the schedule. If nothing happens, please stand aside and watch."
In the past, she would never dare to talk to Brandy like this.
Seeing her stiff expression with a straight face, Asakura really felt that the work during this period of time had finally achieved some results.
Miyano Shiho's current attitude clearly understands that with her status in the organization, it is impossible for Brandy to cause trouble for her over such a trivial matter.
The way she used to be frightened when she saw Gin and the others actually put her under house arrest. To put it simply, she was not the same person as the organization.
Now, she unconsciously equated herself with the code name Shirley, and had a tendency to regard herself as a member of the organization.
Of course, this trend is not yet obvious. If you want to expand it, you can only wait for the power of time to reveal it.
"..."
Asakura Zhen put down the information in his hand and showed an awkward but polite smile.
Then he walked aside and sat down on the chair: "Since you won't let me see it, then tell me what stage of progress I have reached in the month I left."
Miyano Shiho put down the utensils in his hands, washed his hands, lifted up his hanging hair and tucked it behind his ears, and picked up the material read by Asakura Makoto with one hand.
"The progress of the experiment is still slow. Because the original data is damaged, I want to reproduce it..."
At this point, she paused slightly, as if to calm down her emotions while speaking, and frowned slightly before continuing.
"It is still difficult to reproduce the research direction of my parents. During this month, the main activity is to eliminate unfeasible solutions."
"So, it's almost equivalent to gaining nothing?"
Asakura Makoto tilted his head and asked.
"..."
Miyano Shiho was silent, and deliberately retorted that this was a narrowing of the target range, but she hesitated for a while, feeling that there was no need to argue so much professional content with the martial arts faction who likes to use knives and guns.
However, after a while of silence, she still explained: "Compared to a month ago, we are closer to the final result now."
"Yeah?"
Asakura shrugged without comment.
Knowing the future, he knew very well that the final result would not be considered a prototype until several years later.
Regarding the result of no progress, he was mentally prepared when he asked.
The urging now is just a routine thing to express your dedication to the project.
"I will go out this time and find some clues." Asakura said.
"The completed drug will produce a reduction reaction with the influenza virus and a kind of wine called Baigan, causing the rejuvenated person to return to his original appearance."
The poison version of APTX4869 has been completed, which shows that Shirley's research has reached the point of success. Knowing some of the ingredients of the antidote, Asakura truly believes that Shiho Miyano, a designated scientist in the world of science, will be able to deduce the drug from it. constitute.
"Um?"
Due to the instinct of a scientist, Miyano Shiho did not want to believe such an unknown source of information, especially when the person who told this was a layman who knew nothing about scientific research.
But after thinking about it carefully, the difference in strength between the two sides made her think that it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.
After explaining this matter and checking that Shirley was not slacking off, Asakura Makoto had achieved his goal.
He rested for a while and got up to leave.
Before leaving, his eyes stayed on Miyano Shiho's clothes.
"The aesthetics are good. It seems that you are doing well during this time."
In the past, Miyano Shiho's standard clothing was a white coat that was no different from that of a doctor. Otherwise, he was as clean as a piece of paper.
But Miyano Shiho, who now appears in front of Asakura Makoto, has changed to a certain extent.
There is a white rabbit hairpin on her head, and a hand-knitted colorful bracelet on her wrist. The glass used for drinking water has also changed from the most ordinary style to a cartoon panda. The two black ears on the cup lid look inexplicably cute.
"..."
Noticing Brandy's eyes, Shirley suddenly felt a little shy - like an employee caught fishing for money by the leader, or a distracted student caught by the teacher.
She was obviously forced to do research by a criminal organization, and she was obviously mentally prepared to die if the other party attacked her sister. However, these gadgets hand-picked or made by Miyano Akemi clearly revealed to her a somewhat mysterious secret. The cruel truth——
Aren't you having a pretty happy time?
She hurriedly turned around, pretending not to hear anything and was immersed in research. At the same time, she felt that she must stop her sister from treating her as a dress-up model next time.
It all affects her work!
Extract the key words in her thoughts at this moment - definitely next time.
Asakura walked out of the laboratory, walked all the way to the parking lot and drove away.
The current organization has initially put an end to internal and external troubles.
Inside, Rum was beaten and couldn't make waves for a while.
Externally, on the one hand, it has reached cooperation with the CIA, and on the other hand, the zoo has become a target of major intelligence agencies. Overall, the number of enemies has been reduced.
In such a situation, Asakura really has more free time again.
And you can imagine what he will do when he is bored...
On the road, Asakura Makoto held the steering wheel with one hand and held the mobile phone to his ear with the other.
"Bourbon, come out and see you if I need anything."
…
On the other side, Scotland is still doing his job as Minister of Intelligence under Koji's attention.
“Organizations need to supplement their technical staff in explosives.”
Following Brandy's order, Koji piled a bundle of files on the desk in front of Scotland and said, "Among these people, I hope you can pick out the right ones to absorb."
Having said that, he didn't understand why Brandy asked him to do this.
This kind of technical personnel can be cultivated slowly by the organization, but recruiting them from outside is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there may also be loyalty issues.
And importantly, organizations now have no shortage of manpower in this area.
"Yeah?"
During this period, Scotland carried out several more tentative missions, killing people who had previously only been able to watch with impunity.
After these experiences, he has been able to control his emotions well and integrate into this work.
However, despite this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the names on the file.
"How is this going!?"
I saw Matsuda Jinpei's name clearly written on one of the files.
