Sake: [Obviously, they're just a bunch of jealous people who think that even though they're both code members, the gap between them and Vermouth-sama is too big. They don't even think about it: can humans and dogs be compared?]

Marga: [Who's jealous? If I could, I'd like to be Vermouth-sama's most loyal dog.]

Prosecco: [I knew it wouldn't work. It's always like this, nothing but empty talk. It's no fun anymore, everyone go away. I'm logging off anyway.]

Looking at the speeches of many codename members, Rum was speechless. If Vermouth was gone from this organization, he would probably only have himself and Gin left.

At most, a few useless idiots and a bunch of undercover agents.

How did she do it? How did the obscure Fujimine family grow to this level in just 22 years?

I have been investigating, but I just can't understand it.

Chapter 167: I thought it was something else, just this?

"Ah~ Shirley~"

Miyano Shiho, who was observing the changes in the experimental subject, was startled by Gin's sudden voice and her body began to tremble involuntarily.

Turning around, he saw Bai Mu holding a cell phone with an audio file playing on it. His face instantly darkened.

"What are you doing?"

"Haha... Since you seemed really scared of Gin, I used a voice changer to record this line, hoping to scare you once. Apparently, it worked pretty well. What do you think about using this as your ringtone?"

"... "

Miyano Shiho stared at the white screen as if it were something dirty, took a half step back with a look of disgust, and asked in a deep voice:

"What do you want from me? Are you here to inquire about the progress of the experiment? Humans are very different from animals. To reduce the mortality rate, I'm still testing each variable one by one."

Although she wanted to curse, years of experience taught her that the best way to deal with pranks was to ignore them.

As long as you act indifferent, the other party will become bored and lose interest.

On the contrary, the more exaggerated you are, the more excited the other party will be.

"No, I'm here to give you a gift and borrow it for fun. I'm only good at using it, not researching it. But if it were you, you might be able to figure out the principles behind it and even come up with something more."

"Who to borrow?"

"Is this what you're most concerned about? People who are too kind aren't suited to scientific research. However, this isn't bad either. Being able to stick to the bottom line isn't a bad thing."

Bai Mu smiled and said:

"I want to borrow Miyano Akemi for a while. Don't worry, I just want her to be my driver for a day."

"Don't you have a driver? There are so many people in the Fujimine family. I don't believe you can't even find a driver."

“The places we’re going to and the things we’re going to do today are not for those people.”

"Oh, this is my sister's own business, you can just go find her."

As he spoke, Miyano Shiho stretched out his right hand and said concisely:

"Where's the gift?"

"You're so rude. I thought you would refuse."

"Hmph...! I don't think I deserve it."

"Very good. I like decisive people."

Bai Mu stretched out his right hand and shook hands with hers.

Miyano Shiho was startled and was about to pull her hand back when she suddenly felt something special inside her body and she froze in place for a moment.

After a few seconds, Bai Mu finally reacted when he let go of his hand.

He looked around and quickly walked to the laboratory table on the side.

On the experimental table, a death row prisoner who had already fallen unconscious was tied up.

Although I feel a little bit reluctant about this out of human instinct, after reading the other party's criminal information, I don't have any sympathy.

He picked up the scalpel and cut the back of his left hand, and the blood started flowing out instantly.

"hiss…"

Because of the pain, Miyano Shiho gasped, stretched out her right hand, and gently pointed her index finger at the unconscious subject.

The next moment, the back of her left hand returned to normal, and a scar of the same size appeared on the back of the subject's left hand.

"What is this? A super power?"

"That's right. I can grant others superpowers through contracts. These powers are pseudo-random, usually closely related to each person's subconscious wishes.

It seems your ability is to transfer pain. Can you transfer your own injuries to others who come into physical contact with you? Perhaps it's because you subconsciously fear getting hurt.

Is that right?

In addition to injuries, I seem to be able to transfer illnesses to others.

But at the same time, I can also transfer other people's injuries to myself.

Now that I think about it, could it be that I subconsciously want to be a savior?

Miyano Shiho suppressed the thoughts in her heart and couldn't help asking:

"What exactly is this? How did you get the superpowers that allow you to grant abilities to others?"

"Hmm... Do you know Lelouch of the Rebellion?"

"do not know."

"This is an old anime. In the anime, there's a special ability called Code. Those who possess this ability can sign a contract with others, granting them superpowers called Geass.

After a Geass user fully masters their abilities, they can inherit the other person's Code.

The holder of the Code is immortal and can be regenerated quickly even if burned to ashes."

"So, the settings in the anime are based on reality, and you also have Code's abilities?"

"That's pretty much it."

"What is the origin of the ability?"

"I don't know, which came first, the chicken or the egg? This is a serious question. If the chicken came first, then the first chicken could have evolved. If the egg came first, then the first chicken could have been a mutation. Both are reasonable and plausible."

"... "

In other words, is it passed down from ancient times?

The ability to be immortal and ageless, plus the panacea that prolongs life and the philosopher's stone that can bring the dead back to life, are all the ancient myths and legends true?

As a scientific researcher, Miyano Shiho really doesn't want to admit this unscientific thing, but her newly acquired super powers keep reminding her that the supernatural does exist.

"Wait a moment, I'll go too."

"ah…?"

Seeing Bai Mu subconsciously glance at the experimental table next to him, Miyano Shiho slowly spoke:

"The experiment is currently in the tedious process of eliminating variables. There is too much data, so we can only try one by one and there is no way to take shortcuts."

"At a time like this, it doesn't matter if I'm not here."

"I didn't say no, I'm just a little surprised." Bai Mu smiled, "In that case, then you can change into casual clothes."

"it is good."

When Miyano Shiho went to change clothes, Bai Mu also found Miyano Akemi chatting with the front desk clerk in the pharmaceutical company.

Knowing that she was going out with her sister, although she didn't know what it was about, Miyano Akemi didn't hesitate at all and agreed directly.

Shiho cares too much about her research results and has been staying in the laboratory. It’s always a good thing to go out for a walk.

Soon, the Miyano sisters, who had changed into casual clothes, met Bai Mu at the stairs at the end of the corridor.

Because he had discussed it with Bai Lan in advance, after Bai Mu put his hands on the shoulders of the two men, the space changed and the three of them instantly arrived at the door of the Fujimine family's mansion.

Looking at the coolly dressed Miki, Suzu, Tifa, and Shinano, and the business car on the side, Miyano Akemi was stunned for several seconds before she reacted and couldn't help asking:

"Where are we going today?"

"Well... let's go through all the stores that Miss Mingmei frequents first, mainly the women's stores. They don't know much about women's products, so I specially called Miss Mingmei, who is very good at fashion, over here, hoping to teach them. I'll also pay for all your expenses today."

"ah…!?"

Miyano Akemi was filled with astonishment, and Miyano Shiho was speechless.

The two sisters looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

They thought they were going to do something bad, or something big, and both of them secretly prepared themselves to go along with it.

I didn't expect it to be just like this?

"For this kind of thing, can't we just find someone?"

"No, fashion sense is still very important." Bai Mu said with a smile, "Actually, I originally wanted to find Yukiko, but she's pregnant and doesn't want to go to crowded places. I thought about it carefully, and among the people I know, you are the only woman with a good sense of fashion."

"Is that right?"

Being praised like this, Miyano Akemi felt a little overwhelmed, but she quickly recovered and said hesitantly:

"When it comes to dressing, it all comes down to personal taste. Everyone has different preferences."

"No, you're definitely better than the other four. Miki's outfit is completely student-like; she wants to look more mature. The outfits of the other three are also a bit bland and lackluster."

Hearing this, Tifa felt a little uncomfortable. I have also seriously considered what it means to be mediocre.

However, Miss Mingmei's outfit is indeed very beautiful, with a unique beauty.

Fashion? It's a word that sounds wonderful.

"Thank you for your help, Sister Mingmei. I used to live in a village in the countryside and just moved to Tokyo not long ago. I'm not very familiar with the fashion here."

"I'm almost there too. I'm new here, so please give me your guidance." Shinano nodded slightly.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with my clothes. I choose clothes based on lightness and flexibility, focusing on practicality, not appearance." The bell girl paused, then smiled and said, "But if it looks a little better, it wouldn't matter."

"I'm 17 years old this year, but because I'm short, I'm always treated as a child. If possible, I want to be treated as an adult, the kind that people can tell at a glance."

Miki held her head high and chest out, trying to compare herself with the others, but even when she stood on tiptoe, she was still the shortest among them. She couldn't help but sigh dejectedly.

? ?

Miyano Akemi was slightly startled, but quickly reacted.

So, you're not from Tokyo? No wonder...

"In that case, leave it to me! However, I may have to go to many places today. Can you hold your patience until the end, Mr. Baimu?"

Seeing that her mood seemed to be getting better, Bai Mu smiled and said:

"Don't worry, I will risk my life to accompany you today, and I will accompany you to the end."

Although Suzuna and Shinano are both very powerful, their looks are too outstanding. They will instantly attract the attention of all men when standing on the street. Bai Mu is really worried.

It's just shopping. Given my physical condition, I think there should be no problem.

I just hope I don't meet Conan.

Chapter 168 If you want to be a hero, then hurry up

"Qiangqiang...Finally, I highly recommend this place—the Beihua City Hall Building. It has a wide range of entertainment facilities, including a movie theater, a department store, women's clothing chains, and so on. Many young women like to come here for dates with their lovers."

“A perfect day would be to walk around the entire building and spend the rest of the day in the cinema.”

"You don't have to go to too many places. Upstairs you can find both luxury stores and affordable shops. You don't have to spend too much, and you don't have to spend too much guessing what your girlfriend likes."

"After all, all the entertainment facilities that can be found elsewhere can also be found here."

"After spending the whole day here, I've gotten to know a few of you better."

"Tifa has a slender waist and long legs, and a perfect figure. She's only 15 years old this year, and she'll definitely grow a lot taller in the future. She should choose tight-fitting clothes that show off her waist as much as possible..."

"Because I'm tall, there's no need to wear high heels. Flat shoes are actually fine too. If necessary, a little heel will do."

"As for Miki, there's no need to worry about height or anything like that. I think you're best suited for a cute look, and dresses are perfect for you..."

By the evening, Bai Mu also smiled as he listened to Miyano Akemi's eloquent commentary.

At this moment, I suddenly felt someone grabbing the corner of my clothes tightly, and I subconsciously looked back.
