Conan: Above force, everything is truth!

After saying this, a trace of sadness flashed in Vermouth's eyes.

But in less than a moment, this trace of emotion was well concealed by her.

Long Ye looked at Vermouth opposite, and was a little surprised for a while.

Although he had guessed the reason for Vermouth's "immortality" in his previous life, he was still a little surprised to hear it from Vermouth's mouth in person.

Vermouth put the cigarette in her hand into the ashtray and twisted it, saying self-deprecatingly: "Of course, both I and the drug are the products of 'failure'."

"APTX-4869 is a drug that can act on human cells, especially telomerase."

"Although it is impossible to verify, the original purpose of developing this drug should be what many people at the peak of power in human history pursued - immortality."

"Later, as the research progressed, the organization found that it was impossible to successfully develop this drug with the level of technology and medicine at that time."

"In addition to some other reasons, the organization changed its research direction at that time and decided to start research from 'people' themselves."

"And I... am the product born at this stage, that is, the so-called human experiment."

"..."

Under Tatsuno's solemn gaze, Vermouth told her past experiences.

She was an orphan who was 'adopted' by the organization since she was a child.

Before she was ten years old, she became 'one of the experimental subjects' and participated in the organization's research.

The experimenters of the organization continued to transform her cells with drugs.

Although she didn't know how many "experimental subjects" there were besides herself, according to the cold numbers in a later experimental report - the survival rate of '0.01%', I'm afraid that besides her...

Perhaps due to the terrible low success rate of the experiment, the organization interrupted the research.

After all, for the organization boss who cherishes his life and those who want to use this experiment to achieve immortality, the results of this experiment are not of great significance.

The experiment was therefore stopped, and the only survivor, Vermouth, also joined the organization.

From then on, she was trained by the organization and was trained to become a professional killer... until now.

According to Vermouth, there was another reason why the experiment was stopped.

That is - although she seems to be 'ageless' now, it is a defective version of 'agelessness' and has nothing to do with immortality.

At this moment, the cells and telomerase in her body maintain a delicate balance.

I don't know when this balance will be suddenly broken, and she will also usher in death.

Of course, she doesn't know when exactly.

Maybe it will be another year, or maybe it will be another ten years...

...

After sorting out the information in his mind, Ryuno frowned and said, "Then what the organization is researching now..."

"The current APTX-4869 is already a product of the 'third stage'. After all, the original organization boss and Rum are dead." Vermouth chuckled.

Hearing this, Ryuno blinked in surprise.

He really didn't expect that he could get so much explosive content from Sister Bayonet today.

After thinking for two seconds, Ryuno asked in confusion: "You mean... the current boss of the organization is no longer Karasuma Renye? Is he the same as Rum, the descendant of the predecessor?"

After hearing the name from Ryuno's mouth, Vermouth was slightly startled, and then smiled: "It seems that I still underestimated you. I didn't expect you to know this~"

"The real Karasuma Renye died forty years ago, and the research at that time was not enough to keep him alive until now~"

Hearing this, Ryuno lowered his head and thought.

If he remembered correctly, Karasuma Renya forty years ago...seemed to be over ninety years old.

Regardless of whether he was dead or not, his descendants are now...

Even if he had children later, his descendants are almost as old as he was back then, right? !

Could it be that like his father Karasuma Renya, this kid can also live so long? !

The average life expectancy of the family is one hundred years, right? !

As if she had guessed what Ryunosuke was thinking, Vermouth slowly said: "Nineteen years ago, Shirley's parents were invited to join the organization. In the second year, they and their husbands suddenly died in a fire in the laboratory..."

Without waiting for Ryunosuke to ask, Vermouth continued: "Just before that 'accident', I saw the boss with my own eyes. But after that 'accident', the boss seemed to have disappeared, completely hiding his existence."

"Although he will contact us through various means, no one in the organization has ever seen him in person again."

Ryunosuke frowned and said: "You mean... the laboratory where Shirley's parents were back then, the researchWhat did they find out…”

“Yes, that’s why I showed you the ‘Haneda Hiroshi Case’ in the beginning.” Vermouth lit another cigarette.

“After that, the boss started to find ways to recruit cutting-edge scientists in various fields. In addition to the medical field, the organization even began to recruit a large number of cutting-edge talents in the computer field. "

"Although on the surface, there seems to be no connection between the two, but..."

Although Vermouth did not finish, Ryuno also understood what she wanted to say.

Ai's parents joined the organization nineteen years ago, and both died in the 'laboratory fire' eighteen years ago.

According to Vermouth, the boss has never appeared since the 'laboratory fire'.

And Haneda Hiroshi and Amanda Hughes were killed seventeen years ago.

It happened to happen after the 'laboratory fire' and the 'disappearance of the boss'.

Although there is no connection between these things if you look at them separately, if you look at them together...

Plus what Vermouth said - 'After that, the organization began to recruit scientists in large numbers, especially scientists in the field of computers'.

For a moment, countless conjectures appeared in Ryuno's mind.

Although Vermouth and other people in the organization have never seen B in person again OSS, but since the BOSS can still issue commands as usual, and no one has noticed anything unusual...

That means the BOSS is indeed not dead, or the BOSS is indeed still the BOSS.

In this case, the two biggest possibilities are:

Either the BOSS is also shrunk by APTX-4869 like Conan and the others.

Or... uh... recruit a large number of computer scientists...

Could it be... this guy is cyber immortal? !

Just as Ryuye was "struggling with his mind", a mechanical and emotionless voice suddenly exploded in Ryuye's mind.

Unlike the slightly emotional voice of "Xiao Jia", this is the original voice of the system.

——【The final mission has been started. 】

【After completing the mission, the system will evolve to the final form. 】

Since Vermouth was still on the opposite side, Ryuye suppressed his excitement and curiosity and did not immediately call out the system panel.
