Chapter 527 Huihara Ai, Bankai! Revealing the Secret Again
After a long time, Vermouth suddenly sighed softly and put out the burnt lady's cigarette.

"Since you won't do anything, let me ask you two questions, how about that?"

Neither Haibara Ai nor Shimizu Koji said anything. Although Shimizu Koji had even thought of taking down Vermouth and using her beauty to rise through the organization in the past, that was just a man's bored fantasy.

Vermouth is a woman who is ten times more dangerous than Akai Marie, and Koji Shimizu will never underestimate her.

"Kouji-kun, you joined the organization because of her. Do you plan to destroy the organization?"

Vermouth asked on her own, not caring whether Shimizu Koji agreed or not.

And the "she" she mentioned was no one else but the current Haibara Ai. In Vermouth's understanding, the purpose of Shimizu Koji, who was deeply involved with her, joining the organization was nothing more than this.

But the reason why she asked this question was because she had always had a feeling, until now, that is, Shimizu Koji's purpose was definitely not just that.

Otherwise, Koji Shimizu would have countless opportunities to kill her. Oh, no, he couldn't kill her first, but there would be absolutely no problem in killing those other people first, such as Gin and Vodka.

Vermouth believed that with Koji Shimizu's current strength and the cover of his identity, he could kill Gin and Vodka and the others silently without leaving any suspicious traces.

But Shimizu Koji didn't do that. Sometimes, he even seemed to be thinking about the organization and looking at her with an aggressive look.
It can't be that he wants to take over the organization for himself, right?

"It shouldn't be hard for you to guess, Vermouth. It's good to wipe out such a powerful organization, but it's better to keep it and use it for my own benefit."

Without even the chance to laugh at themselves, Vermouth and Haibara Ai were both stunned.

However, Shimizu Koji spoke calmly about this shocking idea which they thought was absolutely impossible.

"Erasing the organization only eliminates a potential threat to Ai, but if we keep the organization, it can solve a lot of problems for us."

"I've never told Shiho before, that is, the organization is working on drugs that can reverse aging, and it has already shown results. After so many years, it's impossible that no one is targeting you."

"And in fact, my guess was correct. After just a few missions, I came into contact with many people who have in-depth knowledge of the organization's secrets."

As Shimizu Koji spoke, the images of Fujiko Mine, Rena Mizunashi, Mari Akai, and Shuichi Akai flashed through his mind.
These people may have various different purposes for the organization, but Shimizu Koji believes that the ultimate purpose of their investigations and even undercover activities, that is, the purpose of the forces behind them, is aptx4869.

Or rather, it was the 'Silver Bullet' that Shiho had mentioned, which had already been developed once by her parents.

Money is certainly attractive, but compared with human life, it is nothing. Equipment and medical technology that can prolong life are highly sought after, and those big capitalists will not blink an eye when faced with hundreds of billions of funds, let alone this kind of drug that can almost be called a dream.

Even though Koji Shimizu has experienced so many worlds, although they were all short-lived, he has hardly ever seen any magical power that can reverse time.

"So, it is certain that Shiho is not only being pursued by your organization, but the hyenas behind your organization are probably flocking to her even more. Once there is any disturbance, they will rush over and tear our peaceful life to pieces."

There was a hint of strangeness in Vermouth's eyes, but it was only a hint. Every word Shimizu Koji said made sense, and it could almost be said to be completely true. She was not surprised that Shimizu Koji could think of these things.

But when she thought about what Shimizu Koji had just said about taking over the organization for his own use, she felt a little strange.

Although compared to what Shimizu Koji said later, it didn't seem like a big deal, but in Vermouth's heart, it was inexplicably ridiculous.
What's so funny about this?

Vermouth didn't understand either, and she even fell into a brief moment of contemplation.
Of course she didn't understand that her life, her entire body and soul, had long been swallowed up and melted by the organization. Her sights were forever limited to that tiny corner of the organization's wellhead. Even though she danced on the blade in the flames of blood and fire, she had never exceeded the organization's scope of action.

Just like slaves who have been kneeling for too long, when someone tells them to stand up and kill the master who is oppressing them, and gives them guns and ammunition, they tremble in fear of being punished by the master.
Not completely, but there are some similarities. It is difficult to reflect on yourself, and Vermouth fell into deep self-doubt.

However, compared to her, it is much easier for a girl like Haibara Ai, who is still in her 18s or 19s, to accept the pie in the sky drawn by her man.

Haibara Ai gave Shimizu Koji a rare gentle and grateful smile, and Shimizu Koji also touched her head in response.

The two of them flirted right under Vermouth's nose, but Vermouth didn't react at all.

"Tell me about your story. I'm quite curious." Shimizu Koji put down the gun. His intuition told him that no, there was no need for intuition. Now Vermouth was the fish on his chopping board. Even if she screamed, she couldn't escape from his palm.

He said this to Haibara Ai, because he felt that Vermouth would ignore him, but the development of things is always unexpected. Vermouth retracted her scattered thoughts, took a deep look at Shimizu Koji and Haibara Ai opposite her, and slightly opened her flaming red lips.

"There's no story between me and your little Shiho."

Words like "Shiho-chan" seemed a little too sensitive to Haibara Ai, and she frowned all of a sudden. She was no longer afraid at all, and perhaps she was thinking about how to teach Vermouth a lesson.

"Oh?"

"Her parents."

"Silver bullet." Haibara Ai said with certainty. It's not like she hasn't heard those rumors, and she has also investigated them herself.

Vermouth paused and nodded, "Thanks to your parents who died early..."

Haibara Ai's eyes widened suddenly, "Vermouth!"

"Sorry - uh, I didn't realize it before, or rather, you look really cute now, no wonder you made my little Sarco so obsessed~~."

"Let's be serious, Vermouth." Shimizu Koji said seriously.

"Well, I'm going to die, can't you let me have a joke? Well, or, Koji-kun, if you want to satisfy your unsatisfied desires here, that's fine too."

Vermouth tried to provoke the anger of Shimizu Koji and Haibara Ai at the same time, and she almost succeeded, but Haibara Ai was not such an irrational person. She naturally saw that Vermouth did it on purpose.

"You seem unwilling to say, so let me tell you the rumors I heard." Haibara Ai had a cold face, and when Vermouth heard this, she silently lit another cigarette, and her eyes became very cold.

As if she could see the change in her mood, Huiyuan Ai also felt a sense of revenge in her heart. She looked teasing. The situation was completely reversed. She never thought that one day she would be able to look down at Vermouth.
Looking down, okay, she still had to look up, even if she was sitting on Shimizu Koji's lap.
Uh, wait, if I ride on Shimizu Koji’s head—

Haibara Ai's face turned red for a moment. In fact, she had ridden him many times, but she usually did it from the front on the face and never gave Shimizu Koji any face.

"I heard that the drug you took was still a semi-finished product. According to rumors, you gained eternal youth. But that's just nonsense. No one knows better than me what the effects of a semi-finished drug will bring. At least, it will never bring eternal youth."

"So you probably only got some unspeakable side effects - for example, loss of 'human' functions? Emotional cognition? Or physical impairment?"

"Sharon Wynyard, or should I call you by your real name, Chris Wynyard?"
