Miyano Shiho has been living in Boston for a full year.
But the relaxing college life she imagined did not come true. In addition to the various monitoring devices she carried with her, she could not even live in the school dormitory.
In addition to studying in class, Miyano Shiho also works at a research base in the suburbs of Washington.
The organization seemed to hope that she could take over her parents' research project as soon as possible, regardless of the fact that she was only a fourteen-year-old child.
This weekend, Miyano Shiho took leave from the afternoon lecture as usual and came to the organization base alone.
There are many people in the laboratory, most of whom are busy with their own work and have no time to care about anything else. Miyano Shiho didn't say hello to anyone along the way.
She walked to her office in silence.
Opening the door, the air that had been sealed for a week came to my face with the faint smell of disinfectant and fermented dust.
Miyano Shiho opened the ventilation device smoothly, and the clean air circulated in the laboratory was blown out from the vents. However, the air in any corner of the base had an objectionable smell.
Ever since he entered the base, Miyano Shiho felt as if a pair of hands were tightly strangling his neck, unable to breathe freely.
When will this life end?
Miyano Shiho was leaning against the door in a daze, with no light in his pupils.
Suddenly, there was a commotion behind him.
"That tall man with long blond hair is Qin Bar?"
"The famous gin?"
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let him hear you."
Hearing that name, Miyano Shiho froze, and his hands holding the hem of his clothes couldn't help but tremble.
Gin... Gin is here? !
"Hello!"
The sudden call made Miyano Shiba jump. She shivered and backed away, almost thinking that she had been caught by the terrifying man.
However, when Miyano Shiho looked back with a wary expression, he unexpectedly saw a familiar face.
Um?
Miyano Shiho was slightly stunned.
Why is it him?
On the other side, Yue also saw Miyano Shiho.
Unlike Miyano Shiho, there was a strange alienation on his face.
"Hey, woman." Yu Jiang asked coldly, "How to get to the seventh preparation room?"
Female, female, female?
Miyano Shiho was not feeling well. She stared at Yujie in shock, her face full of embarrassment.
Ikue didn't seem to think there was anything inappropriate about calling a fourteen-year-old girl a "woman". When he didn't get a response from Miyano Shiho, he impatiently repeated the question.
Miyano Shiho raised his hand and pointed tremblingly in one direction: "Go straight and turn left."
"Thank you."
Yu Jiang turned around and left.
"Wait!" Miyano Shiho blurted out, "Who are you?"
Yu Jiang stamped his feet, but did not turn around.
"JPN Special Operations Group, Puppet." The man's calm voice fell into Miyano Shiho's ears.
Puppet does not seem to be a wine name, but this concise English word is quite consistent with the organization's code name naming format. In addition to his appearance here at this moment, Miyano Shiho already knew his identity.
Like her, he was a member of this dirty and rotten organization.
Miyano Shiho's eyes dimmed.
"No." She spoke softly, her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, "I'm asking, was that person on the bus to the Government Center a year ago, was you?"
Yu Jiang frowned: "What?"
"I……"
"Papette, you are too slow."
Ginjiu and his men walked towards Yu Jiang in a mighty manner.
As soon as he heard his voice, Miyano Shiho immediately shrank himself into a turtle. She stood stiffly by the door, her whole body shaking like a sieve, gritting her teeth to suppress the fear in her heart.
Miyano Shiho's reaction fell into Ikue's eyes, and he found it very interesting.
He thought how brave this girl who dared to beg him for mercy after the gangsters hijacked the car would be, but he didn't expect that a mere gin would make her so scared.
"Go straight to the seventh preparation room from here and turn left." Yu Jiang responded to Gin's question and mocked, "Don't you come to the United States often? Why don't you even know where the preparation room is?"
"Brother doesn't come to Boston often. We were all in New York before..." Vodka hurriedly defended his eldest brother, but before he could finish speaking, he felt Gin's murderous eyes on him and quickly fell silent.
His ears were finally quiet, and Gin's cold gaze fell on Miyano Shiho.
This time Miyano Shiho's head hung lower.
She hoped that Gin would ignore her, but it was obvious that this was impossible.
"Let me see who this is." Gin's eyes scrutinized Miyano Shiho, "Shirley, you're fine."
Miyano Shiho reluctantly raised his head, but still didn't dare to look into Gin's eyes: "If I remember correctly, you should have been transferred to Japan. No, you were originally affiliated with the Japanese action team."
"My memory is good. But you seem to have...still not made any progress over the years."
Miyano Shiho bit his lower lip and stubbornly retorted to Gin: "You too."
Ginjiu snorted coldly, turned his gaze on Shirley to Yu Jiang, and asked, "Do you know each other?"
Miyano Shiho was still hesitating how to answer this question, but he heard Yujie say in an innocent and honest tone: "I have no impression, I probably don't know him."
Miyano Shiho: "..."
The weird atmosphere between Gin, Shirley and Papert was visible to the naked eye, but Kaios chose this moment to tease the boss:
"Gin, do you have any grudges with this lady in the research class?"
Gin only glanced at Kaios coldly and did not respond.
On the other hand, Chianti laughed at him rudely: "The matter of Gin and Shirley is not something that a newcomer like you who just got the code name can be curious about. It's better for you to just shut up."
Yu Jiang, who had no interest at first, suddenly lit up when he heard these words.
He smelled melon.
Yu Jiang blinked: "Don't you want to introduce me?"
"I am a researcher in the Organizational Research Section, codenamed Shirley." Miyano Shiho introduced himself before Gin opened his mouth, "I am currently in charge of... the Silver Bullet Project."
She is worthy of being a super genius who became an MIT graduate student at the tender age of thirteen. In just one year, her professional qualities have matured enough to lead the entire research group.
Silver Bullet?
Yujiang didn't know why this research project had such a name, but he had heard of the role of silver bullets in vampire legends.
And there seems to be a cocktail called the Silver Bullet.
Um?
Speaking of which... the Silver Bullet cocktail seems to be a mix of gin and fennel liqueur.
Yu Jiang looked at Gin.
"What are you doing?" Gin frowned.
"I'm thinking that you should be a good candidate for the silver bullet project." Yu Jiang said with a smile.
"Don't you think about it, Shirley? He might bring unexpected surprises to your project."
