"APTX-4869 induces programmed cell death, but at the same time strengthens the activity of telomerase, thereby increasing the proliferation ability of cells. The drug in the test phase generally causes the death of the user, but there are special cases. Under the accidental effect of the destruction program, all the cells of bones, muscles, internal organs, and hair except the nervous system have degenerated to the childhood stage..."

Xu Mo was sitting at the desk in the business suite of the hotel, sliding the mouse with his hand, and the screen was scrolling the report about Hirota Masami—that is, Miyano Akemi’s [-] million yuan robbery case. He contemplated for a long time on a photo of the scene , at the scene of Mingmei's "suicide", there unexpectedly appeared a boy with glasses, surrounded by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, with a gloomy and sad expression. Perhaps ordinary people would think it was a passing child who was frightened, but Xu Mo But he couldn't help thinking of what Miyano Shiho said, and the owner of that room in Mihua Town - that Sherlock Holmes fan.

He has seen the photo of Kudo Shinichi before, his photographic memory makes him recall that face is familiar and profound, now it gradually overlaps and overlaps, he rubs the bridge of his nose, stands up from his seat, turns around and stands in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows .

Thinking of the last thing he gave to Miyano Shiho that day—the capsule he stole from her safe and called "APTX-4869" by her, as if she had a premonition, it happened in a strange way. On the day Miyano Shiho began to show resistance, destroying all records and silently suspending all experiments, he took away the medicine, or, it was Miyano or his final salvation.

He remembered what he said to her, either release or rebirth.

What is the end result?He didn't know, he didn't get any news for several days, and he was still staring deeply at the news report that he had frozen on the screen... Among Miyano Shiho's many reports, this kind of miracle is only one case, will it happen again?

Miyano Shiho and him, perhaps, are of the same kind. However, similar backgrounds also have differences. In the end, he began to gradually understand the so-called bondage. When he had a place in his heart, Miyano who taught him to understand was lost. The last point of life is the last ray of hope.If it was him, would he exile himself like Miyano Shiho did?When he lost everything, he was ignorant, so he could still choose silence and dormancy calmly, but...

There is already a fetter in his heart, he needs to be guarded or prey, no matter what, in the end, it still affects and influences every step he has made, which is a concern he has never had in those years of his life before, such as All kinds of things were unclear and confusing, he unconsciously thought of Tao Youran again.

After he brought her out of Miyano's laboratory, he never saw her again. That ignorant, fearless, kind and innocent girl, after arriving at a safe place, still trusted him and cared about him, and also cared about being locked in the experiment. Shiho Miyano, even though she has been questioning the connection between Akemi Miyano and her father's death...

She is like a rainbow in his gray and white world. Although he still can't imagine the beauty of a real rainbow, it is a light in the dark, and he takes it very seriously. However, this light is always It cannot be tolerated in the dark river.

What should he do...

The door of the room seemed to be kicked open violently, and a loud noise echoed in the empty corridor. The person who came was a gust of wind, with strong steps, bringing his black coat and long silver hair, flying up and down again.

"Ares, it's not easy to find you."

With a deep hoarse voice and a harsh tone that seemed to be a warning of danger, GIN looked at Xu Mo with a deadpan expression on his face, but his perverted eyes were determined to put him to death.

"What's up?"

"Tell me, where did Sherry go?"

In a word, Xu Mo was stunned for a moment, but then smiled lowly in an instant. If GIN doubted it, then he was missing, and then a miracle happened again. It is really a mysterious and interesting secret. , the upward arc of Xu Mo's lips gradually deepened, and the smile with an unknown meaning also gradually became stronger...

"Is it unreasonable for your people to ask me?"

"It is said that you were the last person to see her."

"Oh? So you think I should let her go? I walked out of the lab right under your noses."

"With a girl?"

"That's mine! Or, should I ask why the burly gentleman next to you took her to Miyano's laboratory?"

Yes, that's right, that day he firmly believed that the people from the organization in black would not do anything to him, so he walked out of the laboratory graciously holding Tao Youran's hand. The man Vodka stopped him. However, after all, Vodka has no position or right to stop Xu Mo's every move, not to mention the girl who was taken away by Xu Mo is very important for the cooperation between the organization and BS. He can bring guards, but he cannot Hurt her one iota.

He has even heard about Ares. According to the rumors, he is not as gentle and polite as he appears on the surface. He has no way of predicting what extraordinary abilities he possesses. He cannot easily move or offend, so he has no choice but to Choose to promise to let go.And, that day...

"Vodka, it was your idea to do something stupid on your own, or... GIN?"

"Vermouth?"

That elegant female voice reverberated over the laboratory, but she was nowhere to be seen. Xu Mo guessed that she was not in the laboratory. However, thinking carefully, she might be spying on everything here. .But Vermouth, in Xu Mo's eyes, she may be the most special and mysterious person in this organization, he can't tell whether it's an enemy or a friend.

"Let them go."

"Ares can go, but this girl..."

"What's the problem? Or do you think they have the same ability as me to make Sherry change and escape?"

Xu Mo remembered that Vermouth had a title called "The Witch with Thousand Faces", which seemed to be a kind of magic, she could change into any person or face she wanted, huh, what an interesting ability, compared to those with super powers People are much more interesting.

"Vodka, don't make me repeat!"

"Brother! There is an order from above. Neither Ares nor the girl can move, and after they left that day, Sherry was indeed still there..." At this moment, Vodka seemed to remember something. He took a step forward and approached GIN to persuade him in a low voice.

"Huh... I don't know? But it's okay, I just want to know where Sherry is now?"

"Then I don't know either."

"Oh, is that so?" Then GIN took out his phone, tapped a few times, and showed a screen facing Xu Mo.

It is a picture of a monitor. The environment in the picture looks like a hospital, but it is more like a laboratory. The room is not too big or small. The windows are clear and bright, and there is only a rusty iron frame bed in the middle. , lying on the white quilt was a girl who Xu Mo was so familiar with, her eyes were closed as if she was fainting, her hand was pierced with a needle and connected to an infusion tube, and there was indeed a transparent bottle of infusion on the infusion bottle holder beside the bed. liquid medicine.

Xu Mo frowned involuntarily, raised his eyebrows, squinted and asked with an extremely dangerous look,

"What did you lose to her?"

"It's still an ordinary nutrient solution at the moment. I don't know about it later... Queen? It's ridiculous. Since it's so powerful, why doesn't your BS use her for experiments? What else do you need the research results of that old Miyano?"

Xu Mo knew that the Miyano that GIN was talking about was Sherry's father, Koji Miyano, the legendary mad scientist, and the information about the medicine that BS had always wanted to bring people back to life. Miyano Shiho is carrying on as if inheriting his legacy...

It is an agreement that the two sides want to go hand in hand to stand at the top for many years, but it is also a contest in which both sides have been fighting openly and secretly for many years. As far as the organization is concerned, it is almost in vain. Xu Mo thought that this was almost the last time he hoped that they could maintain a temporary harmonious coexistence, but even Koji Miyano's heir disappeared, hehe...

It's time to wake up from this sea-deep nightmare.

Looking up at GIN's customary dark transactions, to be honest, going back to the source, the irreversible situation today is due to the ignorance of the violent man in front of him.However, Youran...Tao Youran...

Xu Mo clenched his fists involuntarily. It's not that there is nothing he can do. With his ability and firepower, the people in front of him may not be his opponents, but is Youran really safe now?No matter what the plan is, the Queen can't wake up yet, the best thing is, never wake up...

A burst of hurried footsteps approached from far to near in the corridor outside the door. Although the hotel was covered with thick carpets, Xu Mo could hear the sound of kicking and tapping very clearly. It was high-heeled shoes, and it was a woman. He secretly laughed and listened to this movement He had already guessed who it was.

"GIN!"

Sure enough, it was Vermouth.

"How many times do you have to stumble on this matter to be satisfied?"

"Vermouth, you want to join in again?"

"No, just to tell you, don't bother Ares, this matter ends here."

"Hmph... I didn't mean to bother him, but Sherry..."

"You should personally explain this matter to that gentleman, including the private execution of Akemi Miyano... Also, Rye, no, there is no Rye anymore, but FBI agent Shuichi Akai, what? Except Miyano No Mingmei, you have the deepest contact with him, I think you should explain it well..."

"Heh... Sherry, I will definitely find it. As for Akai Shuichi, all those who betrayed the organization will end up just like Akemi Miyano!"

GIN left angrily, and Vodka had no choice but to keep up.Watching the two deep black shadows leave, Xu Mo looked at Vermouth without any surprise, as if expecting her to appear, and looked at each other with a faint smile.

"From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. Go back to your BS. It's best to never forget that there are people like us in the dark. Don't worry, I won't touch your people. Tao Youran will be sent back safely."

After finishing speaking, she turned gracefully and walked to the door, then suddenly looked back, stared at Xu Mo for a long time, then smiled brightly and charmingly, her eyes were full of playfulness,

"How on earth did Sherry escape from the lab?"

Xu Mo moved his footsteps slightly, remained silent, and just smiled.

"Hush!" Vermouth didn't seem to care whether Xu Mo would tell her, raised his right hand, put his slender and beautiful index finger in front of his lips, and then hissed, "Let it be a secret forever."

"Tao Youran is with me, she is safe. - Akai Shuichi"

In the end, only Xu Mo was left in the room. He looked back out the window, and the sky was exceptionally clear. Even though his world was still black and white, it seemed that he had seen the most lingering light, driving away the A dark nightmare.
