Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

How could it be alive?

How come Champagne is so lucky that he can survive such a huge explosion?

How good would it be if this were the way to die?

Looking at the information in his hand, Rum was surprised and couldn't help but ask three questions in his heart.

As the head of the intelligence team, Rum was naturally one of the first to receive the news.

However, this news is obviously not good news for Rum.

He would rather receive news of Champagne's death than Champagne's life.

Originally, he was thinking that since there was still no news at this time, the champagne was either lying in the hospital morgue waiting for someone to claim it, or it was blown to pieces and could not be picked up.

Or they may fall into the sea and become a feast for marine life.

In the past two days, in addition to privately handing over the evidence that Karasuma Soshin has private power and manpower in Neon to Karasuma Renya.

Rum has been fanning the flames behind the scenes and has killed Karasuma Soshin. He has repeatedly attacked members of the organization and the news of disobeying Mr.'s orders has spread throughout the organization.

His purpose was to use the momentum he had created to make that gentleman issue a punishment decision against Whiskey as soon as possible.

However, after seeing that there was no movement from the other side, Rum realized that the person who was waiting for Champagne's life and death decision would use this to determine the final punishment for Whiskey.

After all, the nature of injuring a core cadre and killing a core cadre is completely different.

The former can be attributed to private infighting among the top leaders of the organization. As long as no obvious malicious casualties are caused, not only will the boss of the organization not intervene, but other people will mostly not care except for a few sighs.

But if it is the latter, or the act was done intentionally out of selfish motives, then the nature of the act is much worse.

Killing a colleague of the same level solely out of personal selfishness is a blatant violation of the rules set by the leader of the organization when it was first established. Isn't this clearly a disregard for the leader of the organization and a slap in the face of the leader?

To put it in a broader sense, since they can violate the rules set by the leader today, who knows whether they will openly rebel tomorrow, or whether they will feel that the position of leader of the organization is more comfortable than that of a core cadre.

Rum also thought about whether he should send someone to infiltrate the search team. If Champagne was dead, everything would remain the same. If he was not dead, then he would be sent on his way.

However, considering the current situation that is already in his favor, and if Whiskey becomes suspicious afterwards, with that kid's clever brain, he might find him through clues from some unexpected place.

Maybe the blame for Champagne's death would be turned back on his head.

Then there was the possibility that he would fail to steal the chicken and end up losing the rice. In the end, Rum gave up this tempting idea with regret and reluctance.

And then, until now, we have received the news that Champagne is not dead.

After turning off the screen of his mobile phone, Rum, feeling a little regretful, sighed again that Champagne was really lucky, and no longer paid attention to what was happening over there.

The life and death of champagne has been finally determined with this news. I think that gentleman will soon issue a punishment announcement for whiskey.

I hope that after this punishment, Whiskey will be able to stay quiet for a while and not continue to cause trouble for him and his men.

When Rum thought of the batch of drugs that was lost, the subordinates he lost, and the punishment that would fall on his head at some point, his face suddenly turned ugly again.

suddenly,

"Ding ~"

On the computer screen in front of Rum, which had been lit all the time, a notice with a crow seal on it appeared on the homepage of the organization's mission forum.

For a moment, the entire organization was in an uproar again.

Even though they were mentally prepared, many people couldn't help but gasp when they saw the content of the notice.

Some people, after gasping, rubbed their eyes subconsciously, then looked at the announcement and gasped again.

Less than half a year later, the notice with the complete crow pattern printed on it reappeared on the market, causing gasps and keeping countless people awake all night.

The gossip forum was more lively than ever before, almost causing the forum to collapse.

Everyone was enthusiastically discussing the content of the notification on the task forum.

At the same time, a topic that had been discussed by countless people but no one dared to mention due to the strong rise and ruthless methods of Karasuma Soshin was once again brought up from the corner.

Although I still dare not mention any names, but some things can be understood without words.

S experimental area, inside the first level observation room.

Vermouth, wearing a black dress embroidered with silver patterns, sat elegantly on the only chair in the observation room, her beautiful blonde hair falling softly on her shoulders.

In front of her, there was a transparent wall made of explosion-proof glass, separating her from the surgical laboratory on the other side of the glass wall.

But it also clearly displayed every move of all the people in the surgical laboratory in front of her.

At this moment, the experimenter, with only a pair of eyes exposed from head to toe, is making final preparations.

However, at this time, Vermouth's attention was all on the mobile phone in her hand.

She looked down at the eye-catching announcement on the homepage of the mission forum, without looking away for a long time.

The content of the announcement was as concise and clear as ever, without a single superfluous word.

But just these few short lines made Vermouth, the Thousand-Faced Witch who had seen countless storms, feel terrified.

He had already learned that the photo of him and Kudo Yukiko was taken by Rum's men.

The personnel information of the Kudo family and the Mori family, as well as the evidence of sending people to look for the remnants of the church and the inducers, and acting alone to find the trace of Mori Ran, were sent to Karasuma Renya.

Vermouth expected that she would be recalled to the organization and face a series of interrogations and punishments.

For Vermouth, she has long been accustomed to these methods.

But she was very concerned that during the time she was imprisoned in the organization, Conan and others failed to fulfill the bet set by Whiskey, and her Angel would be dealt with directly by Whiskey.

So, in order to save her angel and to ask Karasuma Sonobu to spare Mao Li Ran's life, she sent an email to Karasuma Sonobu.

He said he could ask her for anything, just to let the girl named Mao Lilan go.

Karasuma Soshin agreed, and then unceremoniously asked for the right to transfer all of Vermouth's personnel in Tokyo.

Then make full use of these characters.

The bombs installed in Tokyo and Yokohama ports, the unknown time difference between the Sanjiaohui and Gekkueiguan, the evidence obtained by the reporter of the drug deal, and Rum's isolation from all this information.

And then there was the poisoning of Gekkeikan before the explosion, the anonymous phone report of the location of the elite team, the confrontation with Iris and Rum's men in coordination with Kuroba Kaito...

Although, Vermouth knew nothing at that time.

But when she agreed to lend manpower to Karasuma Soshin, she knew that Whiskey was bound to make a big move this time.

But she never expected that the whiskey wave could pull down rum and champagne together.

When Vermouth learned about Karasuma Soshin's series of actions from her subordinates, she had just finished the last round of interrogation and got her mobile phone back from the interrogator.

When he opened it, he saw that the constantly vibrating phone was filled with various electronic messages from his subordinates, followed by Rum who began to spread rumors crazily on the organization's forum.

At first, Vermouth was also wondering why the whiskey made such a big noise, but it seemed like there was much ado about nothing, and now it seemed that only the champagne was unlucky.

So, Vermouth sent an email to Gin, intending to ask him how much he knew. Unexpectedly, Gin had just come out of a cave deep in the mountains where the signal was cut off, and knew even less than she did.

But now after seeing the content of the announcement, she no longer thinks so.

There are three announcements in total, and the total length is no more than two hundred words.

But only the third one concerns whiskey.

The first two, one is about rum and the other is about champagne.

Except for the code name and department, all other content is copy and paste.

Effective immediately, the intelligence team leader Rum is demoted to deputy leader and acting leader, and his authority is downgraded to S-level.

The research team leader Champagne was demoted to deputy team leader and acting team leader, and his authority was downgraded to S level.

To be honest, when seeing these two pieces of content, Vermouth almost rubbed her eyes.

Position downgraded, authority downgraded.

Although he is temporarily acting as team leader, he can still be called the head of the department, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to see that this is just a superficial statement.

Compared with core cadres like Gin, he is indeed a level lower.

The most important thing is that in this way, the positions of core cadres will be truly vacant.

In an organization, the easiest way to determine a person's status is to see what kind of authority he or she has.

The reason why the core cadres' status is superior to that of many code members is that, apart from the fact that they are the heads of various departments, the most important thing is that they have SS-level authority which is only second to the leader of the organization.

This is the identity of core cadres and also the authority they hold.

Fennel was previously the deputy leader of the scientific research group and also the deputy leader of the direct team. In terms of status, her status is equivalent to that of Vermouth, the deputy leader of the intelligence group.

But in the eyes of Gin and other core cadres, in terms of importance, Fennel is completely inferior to Vermouth, who can recommend subordinates for promotion to A-level, eat meat from the rum bowl, and possess an SS-level decoding device.

When he got some power from Champagne and his authority was promoted to S-level, Rum and others began to take him seriously.

But now, having lost the SS-level authority that only core cadres can have, how can Rum and Champagne be considered core cadres even if they are still called boss by their subordinates.

The most important thing is that if we remove the word "agent", today's rum and champagne, Vermouth and fennel, are on the same starting line.

We all have S-level authority. If you can be the acting team leader, why can't I?

Although at this time, the only one standing on the same starting line with rum and champagne is Vermouth.

But she believed that as long as nothing went wrong on Fennel's side, it wouldn't be long before Fennel got the SS decoder that only core cadres could have.

By then, the four of them were truly standing on the same starting line.

If you ask Vermouth whether she wants to be the head of the intelligence team, of course she does.

It’s just that Rum was once the second-in-command of the organization, and his position was deeply rooted. Even if he made mistakes repeatedly, he was still easily exposed.

Even if she wanted that position, it was just a thought.

After all, she has another identity. She is the blood descendant of that gentleman and the best test subject in his hands who can help him achieve his ultimate wish.

She can now walk in the dark under the code name Vermouth, and relying on the title of being favored by the master, she has a status and authority in the organization that is superior to ordinary code members.

She appeared in the public media's eyes and in the sun under the names of Sharon Wynyard and Chris Wynyard.

It was all she could get.

At a superficial level, the operation of an organization relies on a stable framework structure formed from top to bottom and from the inside out by senior code members.

In fact, it is driven by core cadres.

Simply put, the authority held by core cadres can directly affect the core operations of the entire organization.

Once something happens to the core cadres, especially if they fall into the hands of official forces or develop rebellious intentions, the operation of the entire organization will be seriously affected.

If it is not resolved quickly, the organization may become unstable and seriously damaged at best, or may decline and fall apart at worst.

Therefore, all those who can take core cadre positions are personally selected and determined by Karasuma Renya.

Vermouth has always been clear that she can leave the laboratory, gain the respect of core cadres, and have many privileges that code members envy.

But the only thing she cannot have is the power that could possibly affect that gentleman's rule.

There is a glimmer of possibility that can allow her to truly escape from the darkness and break free from his control.

She is Vermouth, but she can only be Vermouth who always depends on Karasuma Renya.

Therefore, even if one day we learn that a guy recruited from outside is directly parachuted into the position of a core cadre.

Vermouth never expected that one day she would become the leader of the intelligence team.

But now, Rum's authority has been downgraded, and the position of core cadre has become vacant, and she is really only one step away from that position.

Really, don't you want to fight for it?

Vermouth lowered her eyes, a glimmer of ambition flashed across her eyes, but no one noticed.

Tokyo A01 Base,

When he opened his eyes again, he was still in a dark and silent environment. Karasuma Soshin blinked, and thoughts in his mind kept surging and jumping.

Pieces of information flashed through my mind quickly, and were quickly covered by new information.

But in the end, it all came together into one sentence.

Sir, I still win this bet.
