Zongman: Beginning and Snow under the Rain Escape from Raccoon City

Ai Haibara was taken aback. When did she start calling her Ai Haibara?

Her real name is Shiho Miyano.

"Isn't that right? Could it be that Ye Hai remembered it wrong?"

"Ye Hai told us that before you fell into a coma, you told him that your name was Ai Haibara."

Yukino Yukinoshita said, somewhat confused.

"He's not mistaken, my name is Ai Haibara."

Shiho Miyano—oh no, Ai Haibara—had a flicker in her eyes. It seemed that even in her dazed state, she had subconsciously made up a false name to protect herself.

But this is good too. In the future, when she goes out under the name Ai Haibara, she won't be easily targeted by the Black Organization.

Yukino stood up, patted Ai Haibara's head, and said in a light tone, "That's good, Ai. You won't be cold wearing these."

"Let's go get some breakfast later. There are sandwiches and milk on the table; it's takeout that guy ordered."

The battle raged in the master bedroom until late last night, so naturally no one got up to make breakfast this morning, and we had to order takeout.

Ai Haibara looked down at herself. Her white long-sleeved shirt and denim shorts fit her surprisingly well, and her over-the-knee socks were keeping her warm.

"You can come out now~"

After leaving the bathroom, Yukino Yukinoshita called out towards the master bedroom.

A short while later, the door to the master bedroom was pushed open again, and Ye Hai came out, holding a tablet in his hand, with a lazy expression on his face.

He plopped down on the sofa, crossed his legs, expertly swiped open the tablet screen, and looked down at it.

Ai Haibara sat next to Yukino, her gaze fixed on Ye Hai.

She subtly moved closer to the sofa, distancing herself from Ye Hai, pretending to adjust her knee-high socks, but actually secretly observing Ye Hai's movements.

This guy seems to be a perverted lolicon.

He was staring at his own young, naked body without any attempt to avoid suspicion.

It's better to stay away from him.

Immediately afterwards, the master bedroom door opened again, and Yukinoshita Haruno came out.

She was wearing a loose silk nightgown, her long dark hair casually draped over her shoulders, exuding a languid air as if she had just woken up.

She yawned, glanced at the three people in the living room, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips: "Oh, it's so lively this morning?"

Ye Hai didn't even look up. He tapped the tablet a few times, then held up the screen and waved it at Yang Nai: "Yang Nai, can you do me a favor? Can you help me look up this person's information?"

The screen displayed a photo of a woman in a bank employee uniform, with a gentle smile and refined demeanor.

Ai Haibara glanced over unintentionally, and her pupils suddenly contracted—it was Akemi Miyano! Her older sister!

Although she was wearing light makeup and thin-rimmed glasses in the photo, disguising herself as "Hirota Masami," Ai Haibara recognized her at a glance.

Her heart was racing, but she forced herself to remain calm, pretending to fidget with the hem of her denim shorts while secretly listening to their conversation.

How could this be... how could they be involved with my sister?

She bit her lower lip silently, her heart churning with turmoil.

Yukino Yukinoshita leaned over to look at the screen, raised an eyebrow, and said with a hint of surprise, "Oh? Isn't this the bank employee? I saw her when I was doing business with her before. Her name is... Hirota Masami, right? She's a very gentle person."

She paused, glanced sideways at Ye Hai, and said in a teasing tone, "Hey, why are you investigating her? Don't tell me you're looking for a fling because she's pretty, or are you planning to go out and play the field again?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Hai chuckled, revealing a set of white teeth, and waved his hand, saying, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm a respectable person."

He leaned back lazily on the sofa, but glanced at Ai Haibara with a subtle, enigmatic smile: "I'm just a little curious and want to know more."

Ye Hai was genuinely just curious; he was curious why the plot was unfolding differently from what he remembered.

In the story, Ai Haibara only appears after Akemi Miyano's failed attempt to rob a bank worth 1 billion yen, which resulted in her death, and she escapes from the control of the blacksmith's company.

But right now, Akemi Miyano is still working a normal job at the bank.

The lack of news reports about the 1 billion yen bank robbery suggests that the incident has not yet occurred.

But how did Ai Haibara shrink and leave the Black Organization?

As is well known, there is a high probability of death after taking APTX-4869, and it is the kind of sudden cardiac death with no identifiable cause. There is only a very small probability that it will cause the body to shrink.

So what made Shiho Miyano decide to take the medication to shrink?

Ye Hai glanced thoughtfully at Ai Haibara again.

Ai Haibara's fingers tightened slightly, her fingertips digging into her palm.

She tried to maintain a calm expression, pretending to stare intently at the breakfast bag on the coffee table, but her mind was in turmoil.

Ye Hai's eyes... what does he know?

Why the sudden investigation into her sister?

Could it be that I said something I shouldn't have before I lost consciousness?

Ai Haibara is starting to question the meaning of life.

She has absolutely no memory of the time before she fell into a coma!

Yukino noticed Ai Haibara's subtle movements, gently patted her shoulder, and said softly, "Ai, sit down and have something to eat (by Nozhao), don't mind those two guys."

As she spoke, she nudged Ai Haibara's small shoulder, gesturing for her to sit down at the coffee table.

Ai Haibara nodded and obediently sat down on the sofa, picking up a sandwich and taking small bites, but her gaze kept drifting towards Ye Hai's tablet.

Why would Ai Haibara take APTX-4869 on her own initiative?

Of course, it was because she had a flash of inspiration and successfully developed a drug version that could shrink mice to a juvenile state.

Although no higher-level animal or human experiments have been conducted yet.

Unable to endure the organization's oppression any longer, Shiho Miyano decisively took the new version of the drug she had developed and successfully escaped to the outside world through the ventilation ducts of the underground laboratory using her shrunken body.

She originally planned to go directly to her sister and inform her to escape this place together as soon as possible, but the high fever caused by the side effects of the medication caused Ai Haibara to faint in front of Ye Hai.

Chapter 120 Miyano Akemi

Yukino Yukinoshita leaned back on the sofa, casually tossing her long, dark hair that hung over her shoulders, and glanced sideways at Ye Hai: "So? What exactly are you investigating this Hirota Masami for?"

"Aside from her pretty face, I can't think of anything about an ordinary bank employee that could attract you."

Wait, there seems to be another possibility.

Yukino turned to look at Ye Hai, who was also looking at her. When Ye Hai saw Yukino turn to look at him, he immediately raised an eyebrow.

Seeing Ye Hai's winking and gesturing, Yang Nai immediately understood.

He glanced at Ai Haibara with a meaningful look, so she was one of them too.

"Alright, I've got nothing better to do anyway. But don't cause any trouble, or I don't want to clean up your mess."

Yukinoshita nodded and said.

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara's heart skipped a beat.

Go to the bank?

To see my sister?

Countless thoughts raced through her mind: the organization, her sister, Ye Hai's motives...

She gritted her teeth, suddenly raised her head, and said in a clear but urgent voice, "I want to go too!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that her tone was a bit urgent, so she quickly lowered her head to hide the panic in her eyes, and her little hands unconsciously clutched the edge of her denim shorts.

The three people in the living room were stunned at the same time, and their eyes all fell on Ai Hara (Gray 970).

Ye Hai raised an eyebrow, but a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips: "Hey, little one, what are you going to do? A bank isn't an amusement park."

I knew you couldn't resist.

Ai Haibara bit her lip gently, forcing herself to calm down. She knew she couldn't show too many flaws, so she lowered her eyes, her small figure shrinking slightly, and her voice lowered, carrying a hint of pitiful vulnerability: "I...I don't want to be here alone."

She paused, looked up, her eyes clear but tinged with unease, "I don't know anyone here... I'm scared."

Ai Haibara deliberately made her voice sound a little choked up, as if she was really frightened by the unfamiliar environment.

Years of laboratory life taught her how to hide her true emotions, but now she does feel genuinely lonely—after all, she is no longer Shiho Miyano, but the all-alone Ai Haibara.

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly, a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes.

She crouched down, looking directly at Ai Haibara, and said gently, "Ai, don't be afraid. You collapsed on the street all by yourself; you must have encountered some trouble, right?"

She paused, as if remembering something, then turned and glared at Ye Hai. "Since you don't want to be alone, then come with me. We're going out anyway."

Yukino stood up, patted Ai Haibara's head, and continued, "Perfect timing. When we pass by the police station, we can ask the police to help you check your family's information. A little kid just collapsed on the street, we need to find out what happened."

Ai Haibara's heart tightened. The police station? She couldn't let the police get involved.

Once her identity is investigated, the organization may immediately realize it.

But she dared not show any weakness on her face, and simply nodded slightly, saying softly, "Um... okay."

"hey-hey--"

Ye Hai just chuckled and didn't say anything.

……

"Strange, why would Gin contact me on his own initiative and want to discuss the specific details of the plan with me?"

Akemi Miyano, who is now disguised as Masami Hirota, held the phone she had just hung up with a puzzled look on her face.

Previously, Gin had always been indifferent to Akemi Miyano.

The initial idea for this billion yen heist was proposed by the organization, which also promised Miyano Akemi that if the mission was successful, Miyano Akemi and her sister Miyano Shiho would be allowed to leave the organization.

However, when it came to the actual implementation, the organization did not provide Miyano Akemi with any assistance whatsoever.

Even weapons and personnel had to be procured by Akemi Miyano herself.

It seemed as if they didn't care at all whether the heist would succeed.

This gave Miyano Akemi some uneasy thoughts.

But no way.

Akemi Miyano knew she had no choice.

I can only try to trust the organization. (acej)

And the other end.

Gin and Vodka stood at the entrance of the underground laboratory with gloomy expressions.

"Boss, how about we wait until Miyano Akemi finishes her mission before taking her down? I think she's already planned everything out, and we can make our move in the next couple of days."

"Wouldn't it be a waste to kill her now? That's a billion yen."

Vodka, dressed in a black suit just like Gin, said with a reluctant expression.

Gin glared at Vodka with a gloomy look: "Damn it, Sherry is gone, so she has no value whatsoever."

Do you think our organization is short of one billion yen?

Don't you need it?

Vodka recalled Gin's old sports car, wondering why Gin loved driving it so much, as the repair costs were always higher than buying a new one.

Gin used a lot of the funds allocated by the organization to repair his car, so much so that their weapons haven't been updated in a long time.

However, Vodka, being the underling, dared not question his boss's decision and could only obediently shut up.

……

At 2 p.m., sunlight streamed through the glass curtain walls of Tokyo's streets, reflecting a blinding glare.

Ai Haibara followed beside Yukino Yukinoshita, her small figure wrapped in a white long-sleeved shirt and denim shorts, her over-the-knee socks making her look like an ordinary elementary school student.

Ye Hai walked at the front, casually dangling his car keys in his hand and humming an off-key tune.
