"Can you find the gem of eternal life? The Philosopher's Stone, Pandora?"

After flipping through the documents in front of him, Belmode put aside the shiny, complicated and gorgeous photos of handicrafts, and instead picked up a record that was obviously handwritten. He read each word carefully with a sarcastic expression on his lips. smile.

"It's nonsense." He raised his head and glanced at Tang Ze who was sitting opposite, and Bermod replied decisively, "A gem that can give people eternal life? Why would anyone believe in such a thing."

Tangze lowered his eyes, stirred the coffee at hand nonchalantly, and replied in a neutral tone: "Who knows. Maybe it's true."

"...Why, do you also believe that this kind of thing sounds ridiculous?" Belmod turned his eyes and paid careful attention to his expression.

Considering only his acting style and behavioral logic, Kumail is undoubtedly a lunatic.

But even a madman looks ordinary and gentle compared with those who are afraid of death, fear disappears, and are unwilling to give up a good life.

Belmod has met many of them.

It is a taste that is influenced by the desire for power. It is the limit of human desire, arrogant and ridiculous.

If she could, she really didn't want Kumel to be tempted by some illusory goal and fall into a situation of no return.

Tangze snorted and took a sip from the cup of bitter coffee: "Before someone studies and discovers it, can you believe that there is such a thing as X alloy in the world? What about cognitive science?"

For him, who has a strong craving for sweets, this cup of black coffee is pure medicine, but when he swallowed it, Tang Ze remained completely calm.

After recovering his memory, Tangze quickly realized that even if he had no memory of his previous life, he was still the same as him in the past eighteen years. His living habits and many tiny details were very similar to his current self. .

After discovering this problem, Karasawa consciously corrected these problems. When he acted as Akechi Goro or Kumail, he would deliberately change his eating habits, handwriting, and habitual movements to reduce the possibility of being involved in gangs.

Black coffee is one of them. Compared with the ones that fit his tone, it can make Karasawa feel clearer.

"So, are you the one who believes it?" Belmod gave him a subtle look, "I really can't tell. You don't seem to be a romantic guy."

She looked normal when she said this, but her heart couldn't help but sink.

Others don't know what Kumel represents, but Belmod, who is deeply involved in the organization's experiments, or is himself part of the experimental product, knows it all too well.

Although this guy probably knows nothing about the so-called theory, he is the most specific "product" that can really influence the direction of the organization's research.

If he said that such a thing existed, the direction of the organization would definitely tilt accordingly.

...Or maybe Kumail deliberately showed this tendency because he knew this.

"Of course I don't want to believe it. But you also saw it," Karasawa clicked on a line in the report, "This 'Scobin' is not just an ordinary killer. I believe that there must be others in that organization." There are more people like this. Their pursuit may not be correct, but it must be meaningful.”

Belmod glanced at those harsh words, frowned, and glanced at Tang Ze reflexively.

She didn't say anything, but Tang Ze understood the meaning of her look, and then explained: "Don't worry, I am still irreplaceable. But at the same time, each of them is irreplaceable. If, I That is, if..."

His speaking voice became lower and lower, and in the end, it was as low as talking to himself in front of a cup. Even Belmode, who was sitting opposite, spent a lot of effort to hear these words clearly.

"What if 'Pandora' is not some madman's imagination, but something more concrete."

As he spoke, he raised his eyes, and the pupils under his contact lenses lit up with a slight golden light.

What he said was not serious and his tone was erratic, but Belmode suddenly tightened his fingers.

She probably guessed what Kumail wanted to say.

It's like APTX4869, which has created countless miracles and tragedies, and it's like an organization that suddenly decided to collect X alloy...

If these people really have special powers and are not just magic sticks, then their words, even if they are raving and talking in sleep, have a certain meaning and cannot be underestimated.

"Instead of letting them move around outside without knowing what they are planning, and doing some unknown actions in secret, it is better to be more direct." Putting down the cup, Tang Ze pointed to the photos, "Eliminate them, or control them. It is much easier to eliminate them by locking them in the laboratory than letting them roam outside. "

At this point, Tang Ze stopped pretending, and no longer used the soft tone, and expressed his request directly.

"Report these in detail. Don't let them have an easy time. I believe the boss will be interested in these things."

Of course Karasawa needs to pass these reports to the organization, but he and Bourbon are still theoretically Rum's subordinates, and the information they send back cannot go beyond Rum's authority.

As for Rum, there is a high probability that he also harbors evil intentions and is a slippery person. He is obviously the type who will include private goods when uploading and distributing.

It would be a real sin if the boss's interest in the zoo was reduced because of this.

At this point, Belmod completely understood his thoughts and looked at the photos for a while.

In addition to the treasures of the Romanov dynasty, there are also a large number of jewelry mixed in. The bright light falls on the table, like a set of gorgeous splicing paintings.

It is not difficult to see that although the number of the two is not proportional at all, the price of these precious gems may not be much lower than that of the collection next to it.

To be more precise, this is the real work content of the thief as "Scobin". The part of the Romanov dynasty that the world knows about her is a completely personal interest.

...Then again, nothing happened at my job, because I got caught by an amateur fisherman, and was caught by a more savvy hunter, who squeezed out all the information about the organization behind it...

If the organization that calls itself the zoo could know the ins and outs of everything, the first thing to do might be to sneak into the organization and kill Scobin.

Belmode smiled. This time she did not refuse, but silently gathered everything into the document bag.

"Okay, considering that this is a group of guys who need to be dealt with, you gave me a good strategy." Belmod packed his things and changed to a more relaxed sitting position, "Everyone will be satisfied. You look for me, Is it just for these things?”

"It's not just these things." Tang Ze looked at her eyes that became unfamiliar again after the disguise. "Of course there is a reason why I tell you this. I believe that people in this organization will not be determined for no reason. They are so convinced that the existence of Pandora must have a source. "

"……so?"

"So, have you heard of Dusk Villa? When did the boss start collecting X-alloy and pay attention to these 'rumors' and 'legends'? Was it after that funeral?"

————

"Dong dong dong..."

After searching around but unable to find the doorbell, Koshimizu Nanatsuki grabbed his hair and had no choice but to ignore the etiquette issues and walked directly into the door. He raised his hand and knocked on the door in front of him.

And almost the moment she put down her hand, the door in front of her was opened.

"...You're really scary like this." Looking at Hoshikawa Teru, who was standing in the shadow of the door, and could barely see his expression under his bangs, Koshikoshi Nanatsuki patted his chest, "Have you been squatting at the door? Someone is there? The door will open immediately upon knocking.”

Xingchuan Hui glanced at her without saying anything, turned around and led her inside.

"It's quite big." Koshimizu Nanatsuki, who was visiting the Phantom Thieves' stronghold for the first time, looked around and commented, "It looks like there is no shortage of money. So why not install a doorbell? The curtains are also drawn like that. It’s so tight that you can’t tell from the outside whether anyone lives here.”

Please...you...collect_6_9_书_Bar (Six//Nine//Books//Bar)

"Because there is no need. It is normal for the secret base not to be discovered."

"Eh? Then how do you usually go out? You all leave. Do you want to go over there?"

"Yeah. Convenient."

"What if someone comes to your door?"

"Someone discovered it when you came here. This is the base of the Phantom Thieves, and not just anyone can come in."

With a faint sense of death, Xingchuan Hui kept his dead eyes and answered the half-baked detective's continuous questions.

He knew where the other person's familiar tone came from, and this wasn't the first time he had come into contact with the other person.

For Nanatsuki Koshizui, the member of the Phantom Thieves she is most familiar with is the joker, who also has a social identity as a detective. In her understanding, Hoshikawa Teru = Akechi Goro = joker, so it is natural for her to treat those who are not playing the role as a matter of course. Xingchuan Hui regarded the other party as his real daily state.

Although the difference is a bit big, Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who has experienced the mask user state, can still understand it to some extent.

When she stands in that kind of world, she will have a completely different sense of detachment from the past. To a greater or lesser extent, her personality will be different from her daily state, at least for her.

Xingchuan Hui understood her thoughts, but he really wasn't in the mood to play cosplay, and he couldn't imitate Karasawa's speaking style, so he simply chose to remain silent.

Koshizui Nanatsuki, who has awakened his power but has not become a formal member, is technically an intern. Naturally, it is impossible for an intern to know company secrets. It is impossible to tell her about Karasawa's identity. This scapegoat can only be Xingchuan Hui continued to carry it.

In the war room, Morofushi Jingguang, who was helping Miyano Akemi sort out financial documents, raised his head and was about to call Hoshikawa when he saw the person coming in behind him and immediately swallowed the call keenly.

"...This is Miss Yueshui. Is there anything going on when you come over here suddenly?"

The two of them knew about the existence of the Phantom Thieves. Due to their natural abilities, Karasawa had reserved them as "reserve members" and would not come here under normal circumstances.

Regardless of his identity as a quasi-mask user, Haga Kyosuke's most important social identity is that of a musician. He has just escaped from the family case and is still busy dealing with litigation issues. Koshimizu Nanatsuki is working with his best friend. We have just settled down in Tokyo and are still very busy.

The considerate leader of the Phantom Thieves would not disturb other people's personal lives at this time, unless he was really too busy or really needed their identities, otherwise he would just keep a low-frequency daily greeting with them.

Normally, as smart people who know what's interesting, since Tang Ze did not take the initiative to introduce other members of the Phantom Thieves to them, the two of them were very tactful and did not disturb the daily lives of the Phantom Thieves without authorization. Even if they knew the address here, they never took the initiative to visit.

There must be a reason why Yueshui Nanatsuki came here.

"Ah, didn't he tell you?" Yueshui Nanatsuki looked at Xingchuan Hui who was curled up on the sofa unexpectedly, "The leader told me that if I encounter this situation, let me take the initiative to tell him, if he doesn't reply, then come to the base to explain this matter."

"Hmm?" Zhu Fu Jingguang frowned, looked at Xingchuan Hui questioningly, and saw the same confusion on his face.

Karasawa, who was mainly busy with Rena Mizunashi some time ago, said that he would give the CIA and FBI some space to talk, and then he led the group to Osaka to experience the limited-time event of Kaito Kid cosplay.

Karasawa did tell them something about this rare female high school student detective who had just joined the team.

"That's it, the invitation letter." Nanatsuki Koshimizu took out an invitation and shook it, "You said that if you receive any vague letter that specifically invites multiple detectives to come, you must be notified as soon as possible, and you must not act rashly. Yesterday morning, Xiaoxun saw this in the mailbox of the office. You have been in Osaka for several days, so it has not been delivered to you at all."

As she said this, she handed the invitation letter in her hand to Hoshikawa Teru, obviously, she meant that the invitation also included Akechi Goro.

Hoshikawa Teru frowned and took the letter.

————

"Where did you hear this name?" Vermouth's fingertips trembled, and it took some effort to put the teacup in her hand back on the table steadily.

She really took a lot of effort to control the trembling of her voice.

Because Kumail asked about the Dusk Villa, he undoubtedly paid attention to the legend surrounding it, about the single rich man, Karasuma Renya, who died mysteriously decades ago.

And this also means that Kumail may have investigated something very extraordinary, and he is learning about the real identity of the boss.

Compared to anything else, the stone of immortality, which is unknown whether it exists, this is the real Pandora's box that should not be touched...
