The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

Of course Tang Ze knew about the silver bullet.

The original meaning of this word is literally a silver bullet. In many Western legends, this is a weapon that can kill vampires and werewolves, representing holiness and purification.

From this, the silver bullet has derived the meaning of "good medicine" and "ace killer move", similar to metaphors such as the magic weapon to end darkness.

At the same time, this can also refer to a cocktail, which is an image that is very suitable for the distillery. It was used to name the drug developed by Miyano Atsushi and Miyano Elena.

It is very possible that the strange phenomena on Belmod's body, such as her ageless appearance, are caused by this drug.

Karasawa knows all this, and not only does he know it, he can even happily count the characters that can be associated with this image, and write you a short essay to argue the scriptures.

However, whether Kumel knew, how much he should know, and how much Belmod wanted him to know is another question.

"Silver bullet..." Tasting the information about the super game carefully in his heart, Tang Ze raised a hand to hold his chin and assumed a classic thinking posture, "What do you mean? If you are talking about cocktails, then I have indeed heard of it.”

Belmode squinted his eyes, scanning his flawless face inch by inch, and a smile slowly bloomed: "Ah, it seems that you know a lot. It's really interesting."

Belmode is not good at reading micro-expressions, but she is very familiar with the silver bullet, which is closely related to the organization's true purpose, and is also familiar with the reactions that all kinds of people will give when they mention this name.

In this way, Kumel is not so much thinking about the meaning as he is thinking about how much he can tell himself and what his purpose is in proposing this term.

He shouldn't have such a subtle expression if he had no idea what she was trying to say.

Kumail did know about Silver Bullet, or at least he knew about the existence of a project named after it in the organization.

"I do know a lot." Tangze raised an eyebrow, his expression became playful, and asked, "So, when you mention it now, do you want to ask me anything?"

"Cunning boy." Belmode was not surprised by his counterattack, and just tapped his face with his index finger. "You have been acting as Tang Zezhao for such a long time, and you have come into contact with many people who are related to Tang Zezhao." Regarding the news about the Ze family, you must have made some guesses about your code name."

Well, Belmode is saying that the Karasawa couple are also connected to the silver bullet, and he speculates that Kumail heard the news from this angle.

It can't be wrong.

"Ah, indeed, compared to your code name, 'Kumel' is not that famous. It is a wine that is only used in certain areas...it is also one of the formulas of Silver Bullet." Karasawa pointed out Pointing to his face, "I think this must be inseparable from 'this'. Are Mr. and Mrs. Karasawa also involved in the research on the 'Silver Bullet'?"

"You do know about this project. In terms of time, they may not be involved, but their project and what Shirley is doing are all extensions of it."

It’s also my haunting nightmare.

"The KA series of projects were developed under the guise of being special tranquilizers used for mental treatment. They were said to be able to mildly suppress the mental trauma problems caused by many experiments... But in fact, from the beginning, it was designed to Developed to control the sequelae of the 'Silver Bullet'." Looking at Kumail's face at this moment, Belmode couldn't help but smile sarcastically.

If the Miyano couple were the knife wielders who directly caused her endless nightmare, then her hatred for the Karasawa family would be more complicated.

It was true that the organization was interested in Karasawa Ikawa's theory of cognitive world, so it provided him with research funds and recruited him into the laboratory. However, when it first recruited him, the organization did not have any understanding of this theory. With high hopes, he is not the only scientific research talent they have recruited from academic circles in various countries.

It was the KA series of drugs that really brought him into the organization's field of vision.

Yes, she knew very well that the purpose of making it was to treat their children. The original intention was not bad, and it also helped her to some extent, bringing her many peaceful nights of sleep.

But she resented their insensitivity if they knew anything about the truth, and resented their naivety if they knew nothing about it.

"The sequelae of 'Silver Bullet'. Therefore, Silver Bullet is also a special kind of drug." Karasawa raised his eyebrows and pretended not to know, "A drug that some people insist on taking even if it brings sequelae. . Let me just say, the situation of that guy Kudo is the effect that the organization hopes APTX can achieve, right?"

Belmod didn't answer, just raised his hand and slowly touched his cheek with his fingertips.

Through the disguise mask, her fingers could not directly touch her skin, but she could still feel its smoothness and flawlessness.

Ageless appearance and eternal beauty are the gifts that many people dream of... and the curse that makes her never sleep peacefully.

"To be honest, after I became aware of Cool Guy's situation, I started to make some guesses about how that woman escaped from the organization's sight." Avoiding Karasawa's question, Belmod finally said what he mentioned about Silver The point of the bullet is, "Believe me, protect that child and let that woman die before the organization discovers her true situation, die outside everyone's sight, smash her bones into ashes, and leave no trace... It's more innocuous than blowing up a few The laboratory is much more effective, Kumail."

There was no change on Tang Ze's face, but the hand holding the edge of the bed secretly tightened.

It seems that Belmode has discovered Xiao Ai's identity faster than he expected.

What really troubled her was not catching Haibara Ai herself, but how to kill Miyano Shiho without letting the organization discover the fact that she had shrunk.

She really doesn't want the organization to achieve its goals and hates the scientific research status of the organization.

However, this is just fine.

"I don't expect that destroying a few laboratories will really stop the organization's scientific research progress. It's just venting anger, and you understand it." Tangze shrugged casually, seeming to be concerned about what she said about Xue. Li has no problem with her murderous intention. "Once the news that APTX4869 may actually be effective is known to them, I will be in trouble. I still want to be free for a while, and I'm not that stupid."

This sentence was a little risky to say, but Tang Ze thought about it again and again and said it directly.

Based on Belmod's previous description and the information he obtained from the information about Haibara Ai and her parents, Tangze guessed that the main line of this world organization must have been inherited.

If silver bullets and APTX are the magic that leads to immortality and escapes aging and death, then what's the next step? Will they be satisfied with the continuation of life and stop grabbing resources and pursuing power?

Cognitive knowledge may come in handy at this time.

It is the world of the soul, the real power to control the world, and the sharp sword that can create endless wealth and seize life and death.

So what Karasawa means is that once the organization really passes the research on the silver bullet, he, an excellent sample that represents the organization's success in cognitive psychology, should become the next experimental subject, dragging Go back and chop it up carefully to make the dumplings.

"Very good, as long as you understand, I don't like dealing with idiots." After confirming that Kumel was still thinking clearly and was not becoming impetuous because of his increasing importance in the organization, Belmode was relieved a little.

If Kumail is so easily blinded by status and fame, then she’d better act first before the people she cares about are dragged down.

Confirming that the colluded accomplice was just here to confirm his position and give him a proper warning, and that he was not suspicious because of the problems in the laboratory, Tangze felt relieved.

Then the desire to gather some information and do something happened immediately reared its head.

"If I were a fool, I wouldn't have lived to become 'Kumail'. You can rest assured." Tangze sneered, making a disgusted expression and even bared his teeth. "They won't think that I Are you complacent about becoming the 'ace'? The code name itself is a sharp knife hanging over my head."

"That's right." Belmod relaxed and crossed his legs.

Yes, Kumail, who knows the true nature of the organization, will not be carried away so easily.

The organization can only ask for and use from anyone, but there is no such concept as a "precious trump card".

Being part of the Silver Bullet is not only not a compliment to Kumail, it can even be said to be a reminder, a reminder that his specialness will bring about his own disaster sooner or later.

The pace of the conversation slowed down slightly, and the warning that Belmod wanted to convey had been finished.

Now that the atmosphere is in place...

Karasawa kept thinking about his words, then changed the topic and said bluntly: "So, what is the situation of Gin who is 'lucky' to be a part of Silver Bullet like me?"

————

"Gin is also an experimental subject undergoing tissue transformation, are you sure?" Hearing Karasawa relay the newly acquired information in a normal tone, Toru Amuro almost dropped the glass he was cleaning into the pool and looked at Karasawa with wide eyes. .

"If I had only a slight guess before, now I am very sure." Karasawa held a fork in his mouth and spread his hands. "Belmode said it herself. She said that Gin was actually blond."

This was when Karasawa tested Curacao, and he had already received certain corroborating news.

Gin and Curaçao’s hair colors are not strange in the two-dimensional world, but in reality, they are a bit difficult to evaluate.

The case was solved, and the reason why Gin was mainly active in Japan was found. In Tokyo, which is full of people in strange clothes, his hair color can only be regarded as ordinary visual kei, and it cannot even be called chuunibyou.

You must know that in the real world, people with naturally silver hair do not exist. Unless they suffer from a rare disease of pigment deficiency, humans generally rarely have such a specific hair color.

After Karasawa saw it with his own eyes, Gin and Curacao's hair was not platinum gold that looked almost silver in the light because it was too light, but it was genuine silver with a metallic color.

Joker's hair is so weird because the real hair in his Phantom Thief form is the result of the high-temperature silk wig meme. What about Gin?

He just looks like Sephiroth, but he's not really Sephiroth.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the world view on the P5 side.

Don't tell me, there are silver-haired people in the world view of the P series - the velvet dwellers born in the Sea of ​​Hearts are all silver-haired.

Including Leon, although his hair color is a bit blond, when you pull him out and put it under the sun, you can clearly feel that his hair has a platinum silvery feel.

At this time, Tang Ze had to make strange associations.

——His Velvet Assistant is a living person who can really be taken out of the room and can be discovered and seen by others! 【tremor】

Don't tell me that another wild in the world is Karasuma Renye, that's too outrageous, don't want to be hot!

After confirming that Gin was at least once a human being, Karasawa breathed a sigh of relief.

The scientific research organized by the organization is already very good at Tongtiao Group, so don’t overdo it, thank you.

"So, Gin, like Curacao, is a killer created by the organization through experiments?" To avoid being shocked by the new violent theory and actually smashing the plate, Toru Amuro put down the dish towel and walked up to Karasawa. , "Then I'm a little confused about the purpose of the organization."

Gin's abilities are indeed impressive, but no matter how powerful he is, he doesn't show any superpowers.

Curacao, on the other hand, has some unusual talents such as extraordinary memory.

Is this really to the point where it is necessary to rely on experiments to create it? Or is the organization really unable to recruit capable subordinates and is completely driven crazy?

"I think they have a deeper purpose." Karasawa, who had seen Dynamax Gin with his own eyes and was almost beaten flat, said seriously.

"What deeper purpose?" Toru Amuro, whose understanding of cognitive psychology is still limited to some more advanced psychology, frowned strangely and couldn't help but whisper to himself, "Or organization, already To the point where the only way to be sure of a person’s loyalty is through this method?”

Judging from the news from Karasawa, at least this is indeed the case in Curacao...

Well, it’s no wonder that after six years of hard work, he still couldn’t really get into the core of the organization and come into contact with deeper secrets, such as the identity of the boss himself, etc…

The status in this organization is really not easy to mess with.

Tang Ze choked on a mouthful of noodles and almost lost his temper.

Considering that the organization is about to become a training base for special intelligence agencies in various countries, don't say it yet, you really don't want to say it.

Look at the current state of the boss. In an identity round, there are all traitors and rebels. It took a long time to catch him blindly, but not even a single loyal minister was found.

Suddenly, there was a picture of Karasuma Renye lingering on the bed, surrounded by enemies, isolated and helpless, and the country was about to collapse.

"Huh? So, you mean, the reason why you gave me this code name is because I really look like Gin?" Before he couldn't help but tear up the newspaper in his hand, Akai Shuichi put it down restrainedly and looked at it strangely. He glanced at Tangze who was standing outside the counter, fumbling around with his body armor, "...if you want it, just take it away and stop scratching it."

Since establishing a friendly and mutually supportive relationship, Tang Ze has been given the freedom to use equipment freely. For some reason, this kid has never done any serious registration. Every time he comes to the model store, he has to act like he is shopping. Same thing, take a few things back with you.

That beaming gesture really reminded him of some of his colleagues who were keen on spending money and making extra money in clever ways.

What exactly did Bourbon teach Karasawa...

Tangze smiled sheepishly and began to fumble for the fastening buckle of the body armor with his hands.

There is no way, I always feel tasteless when I apply seriously. I have to choose ready-made products like this when I buy them, so that I can have the pleasure of free prostitution.

"Ahem." Tang Ze stood up reservedly and began to take off the body armor from the mannequin with smooth movements. Mao was so embarrassed that his face was not red and his heart was not beating. He even had the leisure to continue, "That's what I meant. After all. , in the recipe of 'Silver Bullet', rye whiskey can be substituted for gin as the base liquor."

This guess is a little bolder than Gin being an experimental subject.

However, after several rounds of merging similar wine products, not giving up until he played with homophonic jokes, and being obsessed with naming meanings all day long, there was no room for Tang Ze to have any more speculations about the naming method of this weird pro version organization.

"It's hard to say. Although the next words are all my guesses, I don't think there is much problem with my logic." After stuffing the body armor into his bag, Tangze walked back to the counter and said solemnly, "Gin, considering his age and the time he has played for the organization, I am inclined to believe that he is probably the first 'successful' subject who has shown characteristics that satisfy the organization in some direction... So, He will become the 'base wine'."

The time when Curacao and Hoshikawa Teru underwent drug experiments coincided with the time when Karasawa's parents entered the organization.

But Gin is closer to Belmod on the timeline, and considering his experimental project, maybe earlier than Belmod.

He, this unexpected success story is likely to be the starting point for organizing this series of scientific research.

"This kind of experiment must be very difficult to replicate, otherwise I wouldn't have shown some special learning abilities, and the organization couldn't wait to give me such a code name." Tang Ze pondered, and continued, "They have been doing it over the years. They must have tried many methods to reproduce the successful case of gin, but judging from their progress in related research, they have achieved little success."

"...So, the reason why I was absorbed into the organization..." Akai Shuichi listened, slowly understanding what Karasawa meant, and his expression became increasingly weird.

Tangze looked at his slightly stiff expression, crossed the counter, and patted his elder cousin on the shoulder sympathetically.

If an organization wants to reproduce the experiment, they will definitely try to control the variables. So what they are most likely to do, and what they want to do most, is to find the "second gin" and study the relationship between the experiment and the subjects.

Thinking about it this way, the evil attributes of Tang Ze and his wife had already begun to emerge at that time.

"Yeah, what do you think the reason my parents wrote for you to recommend is?"
