7 Chapter VII
Chapter 7: Stand-ins: A stand-in must be found
I went back to my room, lay down on the bed, thought about it and felt something was wrong - what was the situation?
Gin Boss definitely didn't mention Belmode for no reason...... But Belmode isn't in Japan lately. When I went back to Japan, she sent me off the plane.
If you want to talk about the task...... There's no need for Belmode lately, right? If you really need someone to help you change your appearance or act or pretend to be someone to come up with an alibi, I'm still here, and I've been pretty idle lately......
When you can't figure it out, you have to be good at finding foreign help.
I thought about it for a moment and got up and called my standard foreign helper: "Hey? Vodka? β
Probably because there are many similar situations, vodka became alert before I asked, and was the first to conclude: [I don't know anything! γ
ββ¦β¦ Your weakness is too obvious. I sighed, "Is vodka really okay?" It feels like you'll be able to spit out the organization's secrets as soon as you're caught. β
Don't curse me. Vodka complained, "Also, cocoa...... I've been tempted to ask before, do you have any opinions about me? γ
"No, I don't have that much of a problem with you."
γβ¦β¦ After you came back, my sunglasses changed a lot more often. γ
"It was just a little prank, a sign of our good relationship! Otherwise, why would I only play pranks on you and not others? You're right? β
After vodka was silent for a long time, he said quietly: [This is the PUA method you said before, right? γ
"I said so much useful trivia, why do you only remember this useless thing?" I complained, and kindly explained, "I seriously think you're good, and you're a necessary presence for me." The relationship between me and the gin boss is just right, and it will be crowded if you change people. β
[I don't think that's a compliment to me at all, right?] γ
"Is there one? It's a lot of heart. I said perfunctorily, "So, you mentioned me to Gin Boss today, right?" What was said? Why is Belmode involved? β
Although I didn't like to say vodka, I knew him too well, and he wasn't a person in the city who could hide things, and I was coerced and lured to learn about Gin's plan.
"Are you trying to throw me at Shirley's institute......" I couldn't help but frown after I hung up the phone, revealing a look of unhappiness.
It's not that I don't like Shirley, but I have a good relationship with Shirley. After all, we were together when we were studying in the United States, and I knew her sister.
Shirley's real name is Shiho Miyano, she's seven years younger than me, and I've seen her when she was in her mother's womb. At that time, when her parents and Miyano couple first joined the organization, my parents went to meet with Miyano and his wife according to the boss's order to find out. After all, they are also research talents in the husband and wife combination, and they are also dragging their families, and the eldest daughter of the Miyano couple is the same age as me. This similar combination of ours is the easiest to get involved with when we first meet.
Shirley's sister Akemi Miyano is a very cheerful little girl, and she is also very nice, even if I had a little weird temper when I was a child, she didn't care, and pulled me to play with me like an ordinary person.
Then, the same year, my parents were killed in a car accident. After that, I was cultivated in many places, and finally smashed into the hands of the gin boss...... Ah no, cheap gin boss.
Not long after, the Miyano couple also died in an accidental fire, and it wasn't until Shirley was discovered by the organization that she inherited her parents' talent and was sent to the United States to study by the organization, and we officially met and became acquainted.
Of course, although the circumstances seem to be the same, the two of us are quite different in nature.
My parents have been mixed for a longer time, and they have long known what the nature of the organization is, and they used to be the leaders of organizing a certain scientific research project, but because of my performance, plus I have been following the gin boss behind...... The BOSS has never doubted the loyalty of the gin boss.,I think there's also a little bit of love for the house and Wu.,I think I'm a kid who has been alive next to the gin boss for so long.γI'm the second generation of the organization.,There's no need to doubt my loyalty-this also leads to my fact that my degree of freedom is actually quite high.,In addition to the boss's orders, I can play tricks if I don't want to do it.γ
Of course, there are very few people who can't think of ordering me.
You must know that the last person who couldn't think of it has been destroyed by the gin boss, and there are no consequences;
Rum, who couldn't think of it at first, was bald and had given up;
Now the only one who can't think of it and struggles may be the gin boss himself.
And Miyano Shiho is different - there are still many doubts about the cause of death of Miyano and his wife, and the fire destroyed most of the information, and it seems that there are some shadows of other forces behind it.
Judging from the unexplained fire in the Miyano couple's laboratory, the fact that Akemi Miyano is still being watched, and the attitude towards the Miyano family that Belmode occasionally revealed, it doesn't seem like the organization will fully trust the family.
At that time, when I went to the United States to connect with Shiho Miyano, the boss also asked me to observe the assessment.
Thinking of this, I called Shirley: "Hey, little Shiho? β
[I said, don't call me that.] The girl's immature voice has a bit of calmness that doesn't match her age, [What's wrong? γ
"You're back a month before me, aren't you? Now that you're ready for the job? I smiled and asked, "Is it your parents' legacy of research?" β
[Hmm.] Shiho Miyano replied lightly, [It's the development of a new drug, called APTX4869, and I'm still in the stage of familiarity. Are you suddenly interested in this? γ
"No, just ask." I sighed, and I changed the subject: "Are you used to the new institute?" Also, how about Akemi? β
[She's very good, and she has a boyfriend. γ
"Heyβthat's good." I said casually, "It's your sister, in case her boyfriend scumbags her, we can directly let the people of the organization retaliate without any psychological baggage." This is also a rare organizational benefit~! Well, it's a great benefit for girls, right? β
[Can't you think of something good?] Miyano Shiho's voice was mixed with a hint of depression, and then he spoke, [Speaking of which, sister, she wants to invite us to dinner and introduce her boyfriend to us, do you have time? γ
"Huh? I've been free lately, so you can just tell me when you set a time. β
I asked the other party about the situation in the laboratory again, and after chatting for a while, I hung up, and the expression that was still smiling instantly collapsed - damn, drug research and my major are not right! Is it serious to throw me over?! Gin Boss just wants to throw me away and don't want to see me! What the hell does this man mean!
I didn't fall asleep, but the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, I sat up, put on my strawberry bear slippers, and walked out with heavy steps.
Gin Boss is no longer in the living room, but standing on the balcony smoking - it's not that he's used to smoking at home so well, it's just that I don't like the smell of smoke at home, and then the smoke alarm in the living room has been modified to increase the sensitivity, so that he can't smoke at home.
He was angry, but finally relented. Because he didn't know how to retrofit the alarm back.
I didn't go to the balcony, but I just stood in the doorway, and the coolness of the night breeze cooled my face, which was already a little hot from the effects of alcohol. Even if you don't wear a jacket, you will feel a little cold.
Of course, now go back and put on your coat, and I'll lose the momentum.
I closed the door that was originally open halfway, and just maintained the posture of pulling the door frame with both hands, poked my head to look at the silver-haired young man who looked at the balcony with questioning eyes, and shouted with an unhappy expression: "Why did you want to throw me out so soon?" We've just finished two years apart! I won't be able to go home every day if I go to Shirley's! β
"Put this artificially look away!" The gin boss frowned and commented unceremoniously in a cold tone, "This is not your home either. β
β¦β¦ What to say about this person! Do you think this is still your home after I invaded?! Keep your eyes open and see, most of this home is my stuff, the appliances are all modified by me, and my room is still the master bedroom! There's even a Snoopy doll on the couch that I found yesterday!
I stared at him, pouting and muffled, showing a non-violent and uncooperative attitude.
Every time my life was in danger, Gin would come to my rescue...... And, as if telepathically, you can always know in time. However, I can also detect that the organization's intelligence system is okay, but it is not as sensitive and sophisticated...... How did Gin Boss know?
And he never put me in danger, and he didn't want me to stay next to him for too long......
Although he swore before, he said that this was his true love that he resisted very much...... But it's also because I've been following each other, and I know very well that I'm not a love brain, and my insight is not weak, and I don't really have a number in my heart.
It's just that there's really no clue and can't think of a plausible explanation. I don't even think of an unreasonable explanation.
I opened my mouth and hesitated for a moment, I don't know if it was because of the effects of alcohol tonight, a question that I had thought about many times before but didn't speak, and said at this moment: "Ah Zhen, why do you come to save me every time when I am in danger?" β
"......," Gin Boss looked up, his tone flat, "That's because I haven't figured out a way to kill you yet." β
I quieted down, bowed my head slightly, pursed my lips and didn't speak.
The other party's tone was quite serious, and based on what I knew about him, I could tell that it was true.
I kept my head bowed, and asked in a long tone, "Hey, Gin, you're so cold, what do you think of me?" β
To my question, the other party also replied slowly and quickly: "Cumbersome." β
Well...... How to put it, in fact, it is not unprepared. It's okay to play stupid, just like before.
As long as I continue to play dumb and ignore all the weirdness as before, I can still stay under the protection of the other party and live happily.
But......
"In other words......" I said as I walked out onto the balcony, looked up at him, and said with a serious face, "It's okay for me to like other people, right?" β
The other party raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised. But he didn't mean to take it seriously at all, he seemed to be in a rare mood, the corners of his mouth hooked, he sneered, and his attitude was contemptuous and a little perfunctory: "I can't ask for it." β
I stared at him blankly, and after a few seconds, I gave him a quick kick in the calf, then turned around and ran into my room.
After closing the door, I still felt more and more angry the more I thought about it, and opened the door and shouted to the balcony: "Don't look down on people!" You'll see! I was definitely in three days...... No, find your replacement in two days! β
