Isn't it very scientific to use the Death Note to kill people?

Without waiting for Professor Agasa to speak, she took off running out of the restaurant.

But before she could run out of the restaurant, she bumped into a figure running towards her—

"Ai?"

Ran Mouri stared at her in astonishment.

Ai also stopped abruptly, staring intently at the girl in front of her, her face pale: "Where's Hayashi Yoshiki?"

"Jia Shu and I just broke up."

Xiaolan answered instinctively.

After she and Lin Jiashu came out of that room, they carefully observed the surroundings, only to find a corpse lying in the corridor—the body of the armed man who had taken them there to be imprisoned.

Lin Jiashu quickly guessed that something had happened, so he and Xiaolan cautiously went to the restaurant. Not long after, they saw two guys wearing gas masks standing outside the door firing at the restaurant.

After the group left, Lin Jiashu, confirming that the restaurant seemed safe, let Xiaolan return while he went to check on the dangerous individuals.

"That's great, everyone's alright... By the way, Yoshiki-san said there aren't many bacteria on this ship at all, and the rash is actually just a skin allergy caused by raw lacquer!"

Skin allergy?

Upon hearing this term, Ai Haibara could hardly describe her feelings at that moment.

She stood there, her empty eyes seeming to regain their light... She suddenly grabbed Xiaolan's hand.

"Are you serious?"

She looked at the red rash on Xiaolan's hands.

"Yes, that's definitely true."

Unexpectedly, the child's reaction was so strong, but Ran had never understood Ai before... She nodded gently, then looked at Nakamori Ginzo and his police officers who rushed up in a hurry, and anxiously reported that Hayashi Yoshiki had gone to follow another group of armed men of unknown origin.

"..."

Ai Haibara could no longer hear the anxious reactions of the police officers around her.

She only felt happy.

The countless emotional ups and downs, from hell to heaven, made her feel that this moment was unreal.

It's good that Cointreau is alright...

Following Gin would be perfectly fine for him, given his status, right?

That's what she was thinking.

Meanwhile, Gin was already informing Chianti to retreat.

Agave is very irritating.

Unable to confirm Hayashi Yoshiki's safety by not finding him, he was quite upset with Gin.

Finally, Gin coldly rebuked, "Foolish, don't you understand? This is just Jundo entertaining himself."

"What's the matter?"

Gin was about to explain, but just as they were crossing the corridor to meet up with Chianti, they saw a figure already standing there.

Lin Jiashu.

Dressed in a suit that still exuded sophistication, he smiled gently and gestured to Gin and the others:

Good evening, hello~

Chapter 420: Thank you, Shiho

Boom boom boom boom

The sound of the propellers was deafening high in the sky.

Upon receiving the retreat signal, Vodka piloted the armed helicopter back to land above the airship. After lowering the rope ladder, Gin and his group were safely back on the helicopter shortly afterward.

"What about Cointreau?"

Vodka was somewhat surprised not to see Lin Jiashu.

Gin, with a dark expression, took off his gas mask, startling Vodka.

No, why does my brother look so pale? Could something have happened to Jundu?

He unconsciously swallowed.

You know, what my brother values ​​most is Cointreau. If Cointreau really meets with misfortune... I'm afraid I'll be facing a long period of high-pressure life.

"He's not dead."

Upon seeing Vodka's trembling silence, Gin immediately realized what he was thinking.

Vodka was still hesitant to speak.

"That guy always makes such a big deal out of his own fun. It would be interesting if he actually messed things up one day."

"Hmph... Fortunately, it wasn't a wasted trip."

Gin calmed down a bit after pulling the glass test tube containing the green liquid from his pocket.

Vodka understood.

This is another case of Cointreau having a meltdown, creating a big news story and then killing people for fun, and these people actually believed it and eagerly sent armed helicopters to their rescue...

No wonder my brother looked so grumpy.

"So this is the deadly bacteria that's been making headlines all over the news?"

Chianti, sitting in the back row, looked curiously at the test tube in Gin's hand.

"Yes."

Gin looked at the test tube and gave a cruel smile.

Biological weapons are far more terrifying than firearms. Once leaked, they could threaten the lives of tens of thousands, or even millions of people.

But an 80% mortality rate is still too high.

The ideal goal of the winery's virus research institute is to reduce the mortality rate of viruses or bacteria under development to about 50%, and then sell their specially developed vaccines to governments around the world after these things have gained momentum... This will create an absolutely lucrative business.

Although the bacteria we obtained this time are unrelated to this business, they may become a new research topic in the future.

hum~bum~

Gin's phone vibrated.

When he picked it up and saw that the sender was Jun Du, he snorted coldly—this kid didn't even bother to act; his phone wasn't even confiscated.

Coindus: "Although I don't know if you'll actually use it, I'll let you know anyway. That bacteria sample is fake, and those mercenaries didn't bring any bacteria in the first place."

"..."

Gin, holding a test tube in one hand and a phone in the other, froze for a moment.

So he really made a wasted trip?

Damn it!

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

By the time Nakamori Ginzo led his subordinates to the surface of the airship, the two armed helicopters had already made their escape.

Lin Jiashu also returned to the front of everyone.

"Brother Jiashu!"

"Brother Jiashu!"

"Oh dear, I'm currently suffering from a bacterial infection."

Facing the garden and several children who ran up to him, Lin Jiashu smiled and spread his hands.

"Don't try to scare us. Sister Xiaolan already told us that the rash is a skin allergy."

"so."

"I'm so glad you're all alright. We were terrified just now."

Sonoko placed her hand on her chest and let out a deep sigh of relief.

The same applies to the others.

At this moment, Ayumi looked at Ai Haibara, who was standing silently to the side with her eyes fixed on Yoshiki Hayashi, and said, "Ai must be the one who is most worried. She was acting really strange just now."

"Yes."

"And just now he apologized to Professor Agasa, and then he was about to run after those horrible people."

Hearing what Genta Kojima said, Ai Haibara's expression changed.

"……Yeah?"

Lin Jiashu looked at her.

The girl pursed her lips, one hand resting on her arm, which exposed the bloody marks on her other arm from being pinched. In addition, her bitten lip was also very noticeable.

"When I came over just now, I noticed that the child did seem a bit off."

Ran looked at Ai Haibara with a hint of pity.

She didn't know what was going on with the child, but she could tell that she cared a lot about Lin Jiashu...

Of course, she didn't feel jealous. She just felt that the child must have encountered something bad and then been helped by Jia Shu, otherwise there would be no reason for him to be like this... She felt a little sorry for him because of this.

"I'll take her for a walk."

Lin Jiashu said.

Without waiting for Ai Haibara's reaction, he bent down, picked her up, and left the restaurant.

The girl tried to struggle, but Lin Jiashu pressed her head down: "Alright."

"..."

Dr. Agasa breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the two leave.

Hayashi Yoshiki led Ai Haibara to a lounge and stood in front of the glass porthole, looking at the scenery outside.

It was already evening.

The sunset seen from the airship was very different from that seen from the ground. The orange sun seemed to be lower, and the orange-red clouds were almost within reach.

"So you were planning to run away and reveal your identity so they would take me with them for treatment?"

"..."

"Thank you."

Ai Haibara kept a straight face and remained silent, but Yoshiki Hayashi smiled.

He smiled gently at her, who was in his arms, and gently lifted her up a little. With this action, the closer distance allowed him to smell the faint scent of shampoo in her short coffee-colored hair.

Ai Haibara, who had expected to be reprimanded, felt a shiver run down her spine.

Her deliberately tense young face softened at this moment, especially when she looked at Lin Jiashu's gentle and as elegant face as ever. The feeling of having regained what she had lost surged up again, making her eyes red.

However, she didn't shed any tears.

She simply said stubbornly, "No matter what, I don't want you to die."

"Of course, I'm not—"

"You never listen to me!"

"……oops."

Lin Jiashu looked at her in surprise.

The girl with red eyes seemed to forget that she was being held, and she stared at him intently with her eyes as if she were staring at him... But after a few seconds, her lovely face softened, and she even looked a little weak.

"Please, Cointreau..."

"..."

"I don't want to experience something like today again."

Lin Jiashu paused for a moment.
