Conan: Goodbye, Brewery, I'm running away

Chapter 413: A Glimmer of Light in the Cracks 8

After playing games all night without sleeping, Natsuho Arano's eyes were a little dull. Although she knew that her host's emotions had been relatively stable after eliminating some emotional problems...

But isn't this too stable? It only took a few minutes from the nightmare to comforting herself. She was about to speak to comfort herself...

However... since the host's emotions have stabilized, she will not disturb the host's peace.

Having already done what she needed to do for Zhu Fu Jingguang, and with nothing to do but wait for her host to summon her or return to Japan, Niino Natsuho picked up the controller she had just thrown away.

Damn it, she just didn’t believe that she couldn’t pass this game!

When Akikawa Sarana came out of the bedroom after taking a bath, she just happened to see Amuro Toru coming back with a bouquet of flowers.

For a moment, Akikawa Sarana felt that the brainwashing experiments of the past few days were all an illusion.

They were actually still at home in Japan at this time. Her Zero was still the Zero who would come back from morning exercise with Harrow every day, specially pass by the flower shop, and pick out a bouquet of flowers for her to put at home.

Instead of Bourbon, who had most of his memory erased and was on the verge of losing himself.

Although after a few days of buffering, Amuro Toru is no longer the same as when he woke up a few days ago. His eyes no longer flash with subtle emptiness and helplessness from time to time, but in order to cope with the subsequent tests, he has completely turned into Bourbon.

However, when in front of Akikawa Sarana, he still tried his best to remain his true self.

"Good morning, Sarina." Toru Amuro was surprised for a moment, he thought Sarina was still sleeping.

"Good morning."

Toru Amuro suppressed his surprise and walked up to Akikawa Sarina with a smile. He took the initiative to exchange a good morning kiss with Akikawa Sarina, and then handed the bouquet to his girlfriend.

"Why did you get up so early today?" He deliberately shortened his morning exercise time today, but he didn't expect that his girlfriend had already gotten up.

"I had a dream, and after waking up, I didn't want to go back to sleep."

Akikawa Sarana simply said this, and then looked down at the bouquet of flowers in her arms. Her already adjusted mood took another step in a positive direction. Even now, looking at the gloomy weather outside, she was looking forward to rainfall in the dry season.

She looked up at the person in front of her with a smile in her eyes, "You came back so early today, did you slack off during your morning exercise?"

"Well, I was a little lazy today." He originally planned to come back and take a shower and then lie down with his girlfriend for a while, but he didn't expect that she was already up.

With a little regret in his heart, Amuro Toru smelled the fragrance of his girlfriend's bath ball and said, "I'm going to take a bath too. Breakfast is already warm in the kitchen. Please, Sarina Mori, come out."

"Well, go ahead, leave the rest to me." Akikawa Sarina stood on tiptoe again and kissed him on the cheek.

She just likes to mess around in the kitchen and likes to get ideas when cooking. If it's just about serving the cooked food and bringing it to the table, she has no problem with the process.

After Amuro Toru left the living room, Akikawa Sarana did not go to the kitchen immediately, but found another vase. She put the bouquet in her hand into the vase carefully, and then took the vase to the sun room and placed it on the table in the sun room.

Although the gloomy weather outside makes the sunroom look a little depressing, after putting fresh flowers in it, new vitality is added to the originally dark room.

Akikawa Sarana clapped her hands, "Well, it's much more comfortable to watch this way."

[Sui Sui, what do you think? ]

After finally completing the game, Natsuho Arano just happened to hear the voice of her host. [Great! ]

------

After breakfast, Akikawa Sarina told Toru Amuro that the two of them needed to meet Vermouth and the person sent by the organization to confirm Bourbon's condition tomorrow.

"I thought they would be one more day late. It seems that Vermouth also wants to resolve this matter quickly."

When Toru Amuro heard the news, there was no change in his expression, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone when he spoke.

He still remembered several codenamed members in the organization with whom he had worked in the past, but that was all he remembered.

Unlike Sarina, who moved his heart every moment when he opened his eyes, those people were also like a thin veil in his memory, as if he was looking at other people's memories from a third-person perspective.

Over the past two days, Sarina has helped him reorganize the information of those codenamed members based on his memory, so there will be no major problems in dealing with the organization's investigation and testing tomorrow.

"Not only does Vermouth want to resolve this matter quickly, the boss also wants to see the results of this quickly."

This kind of problem will arise when two people are together for a long time. The sarcastic tone of their words is almost the same. Akikawa Sarina feels sick when she thinks of that old man Karasuma Renya.

"But it's better to solve it as soon as possible so that we can go home quickly. Many things are inconvenient here."

Hearing her say this, Toru Amuro turned around and a hint of unknown emotion flashed in his eyes, as if he had thought of something...

He wanted to pretend nothing had happened and end the topic, but the voice deep in his heart jumped out to warn him not to do this, and warned him to tell Sarina what he was thinking.

This voice was not the first time it appeared. It had been popping up since the first day he woke up. Part of his trust in Sarina also came from this voice.

Although he had suspected it before... Could this sound also be one of the results of that experiment? Sarina was the one who controlled this experiment, and her behavior in front of him was to make him let down his guard...

But he had a vague intuition telling him that he should not doubt like this, otherwise something would definitely happen that would make him regret for the rest of his life.

Convinced once again by the voice in his heart, Toru Amuro turned around and looked at Akikawa Sarina who was looking down and thinking about which fruit to eat.

"Sarina..."

Akikawa Sarana, who was considering whether to eat an orange or an apple, heard her boyfriend just call her name and then nothing else. She looked up at Amuro Toru in confusion, with a question mark almost written on her face.

Seeing her expression, Toru Amuro was once again convinced that his previous suspicion that Sarina was lying to him was because his brain was damaged after the experiment.

But at this time, Amuro Toru also felt that there was no need to ask the question he just asked...

But his not asking did not prevent Akikawa Sarina from guessing his thoughts from his silence. Akikawa Sarina smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, it's okay."

As for Vermouth, after confirming that Bourbon has forgotten what he should forget, she will just watch coldly and do nothing. At most, she will help him when his life may be in danger, or simply add fuel to the fire and silence him.

It's not yet time to silence someone, so Bourbon just needs to behave normally tomorrow.

The only thing that might be a concern is that Gin might create the impression that the brainwashing experiment has completely failed, which might cause a little trouble for the public security department in wanting Bourbon to further gain the trust of the organization...

However, this problem is not unsolvable. Even if the brainwashing experiment fails, Bourbon has lost most of his memory. Now Bourbon is indeed loyal enough to the organization, and the organization will not do anything to Bourbon just for this reason.

The rest depends on Bourbon to deal with the situation himself.

"only......"

Akikawa Sarina reached out and picked up the apple and handed it to her boyfriend who had already stretched out his hand in front of her. After watching him take the apple and skillfully peel it and cut it into a bunny shape, he continued: "You used to want to go further in the organization, so tomorrow you..."

Toru Amuro stopped peeling the fruit, and the two looked at each other, both understanding what was expressed in each other's eyes.

......

In the basement of a research institute in Los Angeles.

Akikawa Sarina and Amuro Toru were walking in the underground passage of the research institute with Vermouth who came to pick them up. Vermouth was bored because it was them who came, so she came out to pick them up in person.

This was also the first time for the two of them to come to this research institute. Walking in the passage without forks, Akikawa Sarana turned her head to look at Vermouth with a mysterious smile on her face, and asked directly, "What does this research institute do?"

Since the two of them were allowed to come in directly without being searched, it means that this is not a research institute that needs to be kept secret.

As expected, Vermouth glanced around casually, "Some unimportant research on brain wave nervous system. We chose this place because the equipment is newly added and it is closer to you."

Vermouth smiled and glanced at Limu, whose expression had obviously turned ugly after hearing about the brain wave nerve research. "It's different from what you think. The research here is more orthodox, mainly focusing on brain death and slow consciousness disorders."

Slow consciousness disorder is one of the academic names for vegetative state. Akikawa Sarana changed the concept in her mind and felt a little relaxed.

In accordance with his character, he had a little bit of sarcasm in his eyes, and at the same time relaxed his facial expressions.

Toru Amuro, who had been basically silent since they met, with no emotion in his eyes, glanced at his girlfriend, whose aura was completely different when they were alone together.

Although I have seen this kind of sarcastic and hedgehog-like Sarina in my memory, what I saw in my memory is different after all. Seeing my girlfriend acting like this on the spot...

In the dim corridor, neither Vermouth nor Akikawa Sarina noticed the subtle gleam that flashed across Amuro Toru's eyes.

The passage was not very long. After turning a corner, the dim space became bright, and what came into view was the most common laboratory layout in the organization that Akikawa Sarana was very familiar with.

The three of them stopped, and Vermouth looked at Amuro Toru, "Bourbon, Lab No. 3, someone is waiting for you inside."

While she was speaking, she also predicted Akikawa Sarana's movements and reached out to grab Akikawa Sarana's wrist, "Limu, come with me here."

Akikawa Sarina looked back at Vermouth, her expression becoming colder, "Vermouth..."

Amuro Toru raised his hand and touched Akikawa Sarina's head, "Don't worry, I can go by myself."

"Limu." Vermouth simply called Akikawa Sarina's code name, with a warning in her voice that could not be refused.

Hearing Vermouth calling her like that, Akikawa Sarina, who had not planned to go along with them as planned at home last night, turned around. Her eyes revealed obvious grievance and resentment as she looked at Vermouth.

The two looked at each other, and finally Akikawa Sarana compromised.

Seeing that she agreed, Toru Amuro gently reached out and tidied up her hair which he had just messed up a little.

When he looked up at Vermouth again, his eyes were completely different from the coldness when he looked at Akikawa Sarina. He said to Vermouth calmly, "Then I'll go first."

Facing Bourbon like this, Vermouth raised an eyebrow with interest and watched his back as he left. After seeing him enter Laboratory 3, he spoke: "It seems that this experiment has indeed made a little progress. Bourbon's current condition looks much more normal than Curacao before."

The previous Curacao was like a mission machine, compared with the current Bourbon...it turns out that Curacao is more likely to betray the organization in his current state.

Vermouth retracted her gaze and looked at Akikawa Sarana who remained silent, "Let's go, let's go to the monitoring room and watch them."

The two of them walked into the monitoring room in silence. Akikawa Sarana had already checked several rooms in advance, so she was not surprised at all to see Gin at this time.

After she entered the monitoring room, she casually pulled a chair and sat down.

Gin, who had seen what happened outside through the surveillance, ignored Akikawa Sarana. You know, he was almost nauseated by Limu and Bourbon just now, and even now he still felt a little nauseous.

He didn't say anything directly to Limu because he saw the look Limu gave Vermouth. It was that look that made him confirm again that Limu could become his partner in the future.

Gin rarely showed a little kindness and took into consideration the feelings of his future collaborator.

As for Akikawa Sarina, even though the two of them had rehearsed what might happen today at home yesterday, they were still a little nervous.

Her current silence and sullen face were only covering up her nervousness. She had to let the organization see her disgust for this experiment. The disgust had to be greater than her worry about Bourbon, otherwise some things would be difficult to carry out later.

After seeing Bourbon lying back on the bed in the laboratory through the surveillance, Gin pressed a button in front of him. Akikawa Sarina carefully observed the button through the system's God's perspective.

The system that was watching the entire process had come to the conclusion that, "Sarina, this is remote communication."
