"Haha, let's stop using these low-level provocations. So, the woman sitting next to you is Grenache?" Gin raised the brim of his hat and glanced at Renata.

"It's her, no doubt... How are you going to arrange it?"

"There is still a demand for people who can infiltrate the scene and carry out missions. I will make the necessary arrangements when you return."

"The FBI has arrived in Japan. I want to hear your plan." Winette pinched the cigarette from Gin's mouth with her hand, "Sorry, I hate the smell of cigarettes."

"When the prey can no longer hold back and comes out of the cave, that's when the hunter takes action." Gin was not angry at Winnet's actions, but instead reminded her, "You should behave yourself recently. Rum has a lot of opinions about you. I am not interested in internal conflicts."

"Oh, you actually reminded me?"

"There's no need to be stingy with praise for outstanding people." Gin grinned.

Although it was described in a positive sense, Winnet did not feel any kindness from him at all.

In other words, she should be more obedient recently.

Winnet and Gin had no topic to talk about, so after talking about recent events, she prepared to leave. Gin's words clearly meant that she should suspend any actions related to the organization, as if he was planning something and excluding her, which made her imagine that this matter was related to Shirley, but she could not mention Shirley in front of Gin.

When the conversation just started, Gin taking out the medicine made by Shirley was an intentional guidance. Although she didn't know what they were up to, she couldn't fall into the trap.

……

After Winnett left, Gin treated Renata to a glass of Gin.

During the conversation, there were no new customers in the bar. Renata guessed that after she and Winette came in, the bar's sign changed to "Closed for Business", and this was also an insignificant base of the organization. In the years she worked in the organization, she had witnessed the power of the organization more than once, and her cognition gradually became normal.

"Grenache," Gin asked as he lit a cigarette, "You've been with her these days, right? Has Abbes done anything strange?"

"Strange movements? I don't understand what you're asking."

"Then let me ask you in another way. During the time when you were in contact with Abris, did she secretly meet with anyone or plot anything?" Gin continued to ask.

Renata felt her nerves tense.

She felt that Gin's question was ill-intentioned. If her answer favored Winnet, he would most likely reduce the chances of them meeting and cooperating.

"Probably not." She answered, "From what I remember, she only had a good relationship with her driver, who should also be a member of the organization. Moreover, she helped me deal with the assassins sent by the CIA to hunt me down, and cleaned up about twelve CIA spies in total. I don't think she has any ulterior motives towards the organization."

"Of course, I never doubted it." Gin exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Then why do you ask this?"

"Women always have some extra sympathy, don't they?"

Renata was frightened by Gin's eyes.

He threw a phone and an envelope to Renata.

"Here are the things you need. Settle down in this city first. If there are any missions assigned, I'll let you know... Well, missions are not routine, Cohen and Chianti will contact you on their own initiative. Tokyo has an organized training base and weapons depot, which I think you will need. Then, it's time for us to leave."

Gin twisted the cigarette butt into the ashtray and signaled Vodka with his eyes.

The two men walked out of the bar before Renata and got into the car. Vodka started the engine in the driver's seat.

He was a little confused about Gin's arrangement, so after starting the car, he asked Gin: "Brother, why did you specifically give that drug to Abby?"

"Last time at the airport, she went too far. The police conducted a thorough investigation of the bomb channels and destroyed the underground organization's hideouts everywhere in Dongdu. Many gang members were affected. Although it will not affect the organization, it will hinder the organization from using some channels and will also have a significant impact on our work. Giving her these drugs is just to tell her that if she wants to take action, she must kill the target silently like that pill, and without leaving any clues." Gin lit another cigarette with the cigarette lighter. He always focused on answering vodka's doubts.

On the one hand, he wanted to help Vodka grow, and on the other hand, he wanted to make his dull mind more active, so as to avoid making serious mistakes and even losing his life. After all, he was a subordinate who had followed him for many years, so he was not so heartless.

"So that's how it is...Brother, are we just going to leave that new member alone?" Vodka mentioned Renata.

"Keep it like this for now and see if she is in close contact with Abis. Although I hate factions, it's better to use someone you can trust."

"But brother, don't you believe that Ibis won't betray the organization?" Vodka asked.

"Yeah... Abris is the kind of person who enjoys killing people, and the organization is a suitable platform for her. In a peaceful world, there is no place for such a person. However, this does not mean that she will put the interests of the organization first. She is the same as Vermouth, a self-centered woman. There is no need to be overly wary, but we can't trust her completely."

Vodka suddenly realized that every move of his elder brother was well thought out and his analysis of people was extremely thorough. However, he still had a concern and didn't know whether he should tell his elder brother.

Gin saw his expression and asked directly: "Do you have any other questions?"

"Brother..." Vodka was a little embarrassed after being seen through. "Look, Shirley's case. It's been half a month, and she's still protesting. She hasn't resumed her drug research work, and she only eats food that barely sustains her life every day. It seems that the 'Abbes' death' that we fabricated didn't have any actual effect, and she doesn't seem to accept this result."

Gin opened the drawer of the car and took out a stack of photos.

"Here is forged evidence. If 'Ibis's death' and 'Akai Shuichi who killed Miyano Akemi' can't move her, then she can only wait. In the next period of time, test whether there is a researcher who can take over her research. If there is one, then she will no longer be irreplaceable, and the result will not matter."

Vodka glanced at the photos in Gin's hand. They were photos of Abis who was seriously injured and dead. The pixels were a little blurry, but it was clear that it was her.

However, they had met Abbes at the bar just a few minutes ago. These photos left Vodka completely confused.

1. The

Is it synthetic?

After a little thought, Vodka felt that after seeing these photos, Shirley would no longer doubt the death of Ablis, but it was still unknown whether this could make her feel that "great revenge had been achieved". If this could not make her change her mind, there was indeed only one way to wait - wait for her real punishment.

"Brother, is this photo a composite?" Vodka exclaimed, "Recent imaging technology is really advancing by leaps and bounds!"

As a high-quality programmer who is proficient in various software and programs, Vodka could not see any signs of modification in the photos. If he could fool even him, then fooling a pharmacist like Shirley would be no problem at all.

"The photo is real," Gin said.

"what?"

"But the person above is Vermouth." Gin added.

"You are indeed a big star. I can't tell the difference between you and the real you..."

She acted like that. Vodka thought, but Vermouth and Abis have a close relationship, so it's natural that she knows Abis very well. She even plays two roles... There is also a person named Akai Shuichi holding a gun in the photo, but it's even more blurry, and only a vague figure can be seen.

The background is Japan?

"Vermouth has already arrived in Japan?" Vodka was surprised.

"Well, we need her help to take care of Pisco's affairs. After all, neither we nor Ablis have any connection with that famous director, so it's naturally difficult for us to sneak into the scene." Gin replied, "Hmph, let's go see Shirley and give her these photos to 'view'."

"Okay, big brother!"

Vodka followed with a vicious smile.

He drove to the research institute where Shirley was imprisoned and walked into the building holding Gin's photo.

Gin had no companions.

If he was traveling with Vodka, given Shirley's sensitivity, it would be easy to suspect whether this was a conspiracy, but Vodka gave people a simple feeling.

Vodka took the key and opened the laboratory where Shirley was imprisoned. There was an unpleasant and dull smell inside. Some fallen and rotten vegetable leaves were on the ground. The room was very dark. Shirley, who was kneeling on the ground, did not even look up at him.

He turned on the light, threw the photo at Shirley's feet, and spoke in the same sarcastic tone as before.

"Shirley, I've brought the 'evidence' you wanted." Vodka laughed sinisterly, "When our people arrived, Abris had already died. Although some of the FBI guys were killed by Abris, Akai Shuichi still managed to escape. It's a pity..."

There was no trace of regret in his tone.

Shirley lowered her head with her eyes hidden in her bangs. Although she didn't want to pay attention to Vodka, from her angle, she could see the photos scattered on the ground.

He was shot in multiple places and blood was flowing everywhere.

Shirley shuddered.

If it was just a photo, she would still be skeptical. Winnet couldn't possibly die so easily - she always believed in this, but this belief was shaken and collapsed at this moment.

At the junction of the back of Winnet's hand and the palm, that is, the soft part that is pressed down underneath, there are traces of text.

Although the blood coagulated and blurred on the edge of the hand, and the words were opposite to normal, so it was not clear, but...

Shirley, with the train of thought of a detective novel, looked carefully at the patterns in the picture and was able to see a little bit of information -

Shirley, I'm sorry.

How can it be! ?

She became unbearable and unable to suppress the changes in her mood. She wanted to throw the so-called disguise behind her - she was simply insisting on a completely meaningless behavior, and everything had lost its meaning.

Winnet is going to die?

Shirley couldn't believe this from the bottom of her heart.

Even when facing the fully-armed villains in the research institute, she killed them all with ease, as if she was the deepest and most terrible evil, and nothing could stand in her way.

No matter how seriously injured she was, her movements were not hindered at all, and she was always able to successfully complete the organization's tasks and come back.

The important thing is, she promised herself.

Made a promise.

Why did you leave me alone and go away? Did you hate me?

Just leave me alone?

The photos scattered before me turned that terrible assumption into reality.

How to endure?

She couldn't bear it.

Although despair was brewing in her heart, Shirley said nothing. However, the answer could be found in her lifeless eyes. She had completely lost the desire to live and could not face everything that filled the reality in front of her. Without Winnet, what was the meaning of staying in the organization? She felt that she could not look towards the future at all. It seemed that only by embracing memories could she feel a trace of warmth different from the bone-chilling cold.

This sad answer made her body stiffen.

Can't even cry.

After the mind is cleared——

This is only natural if you think about it.

Surviving in a dangerous place like an organization, it is only a matter of time before encountering an accident. No matter how strong or powerful Winnet is, they cannot avoid such an ending.

Just like human beings will eventually die.

Why...why at this time!

They didn't face everything together, but just compromised with this reality, and the result of this compromise...

It's so sad.

Shirley was immersed in sorrow.

If this is the outcome, then perhaps escaping from the organization and spending some beautiful memories in an endless life of escape would be the right choice for them. But now, it is just a shattered bubble.

At this time, Shirley couldn't hold back and began to sob.

But the sound turned into a shrill laugh as soon as it came out, as if mocking Winnet's easy death.

To Vodka, that's what it sounded like - a hysterical, crazy grin.

"Shirley, you'd better think about it carefully...I don't need to say more about the fate of the resistance organization." After saying this, Vodka left the room. The laughter made his back chill.

He felt that even if Shirley agreed to continue her research, she might have become a lunatic.

After the door was closed again, Shirley cried like a kindergarten child, murmuring repeatedly in a low voice, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have bothered Akai Shuichi." She kept saying this over and over again.

Shirley thought that she was too dependent on Winnet.

Just like when I was in the United States, I was emotionally dependent on my sister.

However, this kind of dependence became a reality in Winnet, and her expectations also became a pressure for Winnet, and even existed as a curse. She had long been aware of her sick part.

But there was nothing that could be salvaged.

After her tears dried up, Shirley gave up thinking completely.

I don’t know how long it was before Shirley’s hand trembled slightly.

Finally, I said sorry.

The person she said sorry to was her sister.

She believed that under Winnett's arrangement, her sister would be safe and would be able to live an ordinary life somewhere in the world - that was her dream.

Her apology was selfish, for she intended to go after Winnet.

If she didn't do so, she would just spend the rest of her life like a puppet, helping the organization to commit more and greater crimes. This was something she didn't want and was unwilling to accept.

Even though she hated Shuichi Akai, she knew that Winnet was the "evil" and stood on the opposite side of "justice".

"The result... is really ironic."

She took out the ATPX4869 that she had secretly hidden, a drug developed by her personally, and put it into her mouth and swallowed it.

heat.

Searing pain.

But soon, the heat seemed to have crossed the critical point and turned into bone-chilling cold.
