Ke Xue: I have a knife, and you still dare to fight me?

It tastes awful, extremely awful.

He forced himself to swallow the whole thing, suppressing his nausea.

Then I quickly found a small bottle of sweet water to send over.

The smell is like a dead rat that has been fermenting for seven or eight days, mixed with the smell of some kind of weeds, and there is also a faint metallic smell.

It left a slightly spicy feeling after drinking it.

It took him a while to recover.

Is it because you don't drink it yourself that you don't need to consider the taste at all?

If you remove the effects of the treatment, it's really to the point where you could use it for torture to extract a confession...

Chapter Ninety-Seven: Testing Each Other

Not long after taking Ai Haibara's drug.

Kurokawa Saki felt a bit hot, and he even began to wonder if the first ingredient in the medicine was baijiu (Chinese liquor).

Before long, the fever subsided.

Kurokawasaki Tsukino could clearly feel that he was slowly recovering his health.

An hour later, he was fully recovered.

He felt he could pull off another bourbon act.

Sure enough, the situation is completely different when there's a nanny and when there isn't.

Kurokawasaki felt he could go and cast an illusion spell on Gin for a bit of fun.

I'll just use a couple of potions beforehand and clear the game without taking any damage.

.........

Amuro Tooru's work is not finished yet.

He then received a text message from Gin, telling him to return to base immediately.

Could something big have happened?

Amuro Tooru dropped everything and sped back to the base.

He returned to the base.

He saw Vermouth sitting in a chair, watching him with interest.

Belmode?

What's this woman doing here?

Before he could even utter a word to probe,

Gin then opened the door to the room next door and walked out.

He said coldly, "Bourbon, you're a little late."

Amuro Tooru had nothing to say. From receiving the text message to speeding back to the base, it probably only took him about ten minutes.

Gin gave him no room to explain.

"I've brought you back because I have a mission for you to cooperate with. I need you to cooperate with Pisco's operation to assassinate Shigehiko Tonguchi. That guy seems to have forgotten the organization's help to him. I personally despise traitors who forget the organization after receiving its benefits."

As he spoke, he glanced around at Bourbon and Vermouth in front of him.

"Hey, Gin, what do you mean by looking at me like that?"

Vermouth chuckled and asked.

Bourbon seemed a little guilty, but his face remained impassive.

Gin didn't explain, and continued.

“Pisco will contact you then to discuss how to eliminate him before he comes into contact with the police.”

After saying that, Gin got up to leave.

That's it?

Bourbon's lips twitched. This was something that could have been done with a text message, yet he was called back?

"Gin, I don't think I'm part of the action team. How come I'm the one who has to cooperate in this kind of thing?"

Hearing Bourbon's words, Gin turned to look at Bourbon again, staring at him for a while before saying, "If you have any questions, go find Rum. But until he takes you back, you have to follow my orders as long as you're under my command. Do you have any other questions about that?"

Damn capitalists.

Seeing that he was alright, Gin took the vodka and left.

Amuro Tooru sighed helplessly.

Vermouth had a smile on her face.

After Gin and Vodka had gone far away.

Amuro Tooru didn't leave because Vermouth was still sitting there, and he wanted to probe her purpose in returning to Japan.

Seeing that Bourbon was still sitting there, Vermouth wasn't in a hurry to leave. She wanted to test him to find out how much Bourbon had secretly investigated about the person Gin was looking for, and whether he had investigated her darling at all.

Neither of them spoke first, yet both were waiting for the other to speak.

An eerie silence fell over the scene for a moment.

In the end, it was Amuro Tooru who spoke first. After much deliberation, he decided that it was best to get straight to the point.

"Vermouth, do you have a mission to take you back to Japan?"

She finally spoke; she had thought Bourbon was only planning to stay there for a day.

Vermouth still had a faint smile on her face: "Bourbon, this is not something you should know. Don't get yourself into trouble."

Trouble brewing? Could it be a mission personally assigned by the BOSS? Is the organization planning something big?

Amuro Tooru secretly speculated.

"I was just curious what could make you leave those FBI agents in the US and come back to Japan."

Would you believe me if I said it was for someone?

"Oh? Who is he?"

Vermouth chuckled and said, "The one who can turn Gin into a mummy."

Amuro Tooru's face didn't show much change in expression, but in his heart, a warning bell was ringing.

Did she return from the United States to investigate Kurokawasaki Tsuki?

If that's the case, then Kurokawa Saki should really be on guard, since this woman is really too unpredictable.

Amuro Tooru recalled Vermouth's title as the Thousand-Faced Witch.

If Vermouth were to impersonate someone else and approach Kurokawasaki Tsuki, there would indeed be a risk of exposing him.

It seems I'll have to warn Kurokawasaki Tsuki to be careful of this woman.

Amuro Tooru pondered for a moment.

Alarm bells were ringing in Vermouth's mind.

Did Bourbon really find something out?

No, we absolutely cannot let darling come into contact with the organization so easily.

"What's wrong, Bourbon? Have you found out already? I'm actually quite interested in that person."

As she spoke, Vermouth moved closer to Amuro Tooru.

Amuro Tooru sneered inwardly as he watched Vermouth approach.

Want me to give you inside information? Don't even think about it!

"No, we haven't found anything yet. There are just too few clues. But I guess you'll be disappointed, because I suspect that person might not be Japanese, or at least he probably doesn't live in Japan."

"Oh why?"

"It sounds complicated, but I figured it out myself."

Amuro Tooru said with great confidence.

Vermouth was already laughing inwardly when she heard this answer. It's good that he's not in Japan, and it's even better that he's not Japanese. It would be best if he went to investigate in another country.

She didn't press Bourbon's reasoning further; she was already satisfied with the answer. If she asked Bourbon to explain his reasoning again, and he realized it was wrong and overturned his guess, it would be a loss for her.

"He's not in Japan? That's such a shame. I came all this way for nothing and ended up having to help Gin on a mission for no reason."

Vermouth looked regretful.

Amuro Tooru breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't ask any further questions, otherwise he really would have had to make up a reason.

But judging from her regretful look, she couldn't possibly have really come back to Japan just for Kurokawasaki Tsuki, could she?

Amuro Tooru thought about it and vaguely felt that something was wrong. Vermouth couldn't be that boring, could she?

He was still more inclined to believe that Vermouth had returned to Japan on the orders of the Boss, and that the organization might really be planning something big.

We should make sure the police take note.

Amuro Tooru thought quietly.

Both of them had achieved the results they wanted from their probing.

Both of them were in a good mood.

Just as the scene fell silent once again.

A series of hurried footsteps approached.

It was Gin, and his driver, Vodka.

The two were about to go out and grind some more missions.

However, when Gin saw Bourbon and Vermouth sitting in the chairs looking relaxed...

Gin's already gloomy expression turned even more unpleasant.

A bunch of parasites in the organization!

Gin said coldly, "Why are you two still here? Don't you have any missions to do?"
