Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

The fire was quickly extinguished, but the experimental samples and research data on the test subject were burned beyond recognition, and some advanced equipment that the organization had purchased at a high price was also damaged by water. Gin was not a staff member of the laboratory, but he knew how much damage this had caused.

"Shirley, you're asking for it!"

Gin said angrily.

"That's right, I'm courting death, kill me!"

"I can say that," Shiho Miyano said calmly.

She never intended to survive by doing this. She knew very well that although she didn't know why Miyano Akemi had defected, her foolish older sister would not abandon her and would definitely come to save her. She also knew the strength of the organization and knew that her sister coming to save her would be a dead end. Only by dying herself could her sister give up saving people and live in peace. That's why she deliberately provoked Gin and used Gin to kill her.

"you!"

Gin was furious, but he didn't dare pull the trigger.

Recently, the higher-ups have been considering abandoning Sherry because her research progress has been slowing down and her resistance has become more and more obvious. However, this is just an idea and has not been implemented yet. At least for now, Sherry is still one of the top scientists in the organization, and her talent and ability are far beyond what others can match. Therefore, even Gin, the second or third in command of the organization, does not dare to kill Shiho Miyano without the BOSS's permission.

"Vodka, lock Sherry up and let her calm down."

Gin put away his gun and said to Vodka.

"yes, Sir!"

Vodka obeyed, and Shiho Miyano did not resist, letting Vodka take her away.

The biopharmaceutical company didn't have any rooms specifically for holding prisoners, so Vodka could only lock Shiho Miyano in a storage room. To prevent her from escaping, he handcuffed one of her hands to a water pipe in the storage room.

"Sherry, you should go inside and reflect on your actions!"

Vodka said to Shiho Miyano.

"Vodka, I have something to tell you."

Shiho Miyano was completely unfazed by Vodka's rude attitude, and instead smiled and said...

"What is it? Let me tell you, I will not let you go, and I will never betray my brother! No amount of temptation will work on me!"

Vodka said with a righteous expression.

Shiho Miyano: "..."

After a moment of silence, Shiho Miyano said to Vodka, "Vodka, actually, every time I see you, I find your stupidity hilarious!"

Vodka was stunned for a moment, then immediately flew into a rage. He hated it most when anyone other than his older brother said he was stupid!

Vodka really wanted to pull out his gun and shoot Shiho Miyano, but his older brother had said that he couldn't kill her yet, so Vodka could only hold back. As he held back, Vodka still felt very wronged, covered his face with his arms, and ran out crying.

"Sherry, you just wait, I'll definitely get my brother to kill you!"

Shiho Miyano: "..."

Damn coward!

Making that idiot Vodka cry didn't make Shiho Miyano happy. She originally wanted to provoke Vodka into killing her, but who knew that Vodka, despite his big size, had such a low psychological defense, and was actually broken down by just one sentence. It's true, Gin always calls him an idiot, but he doesn't seem to care!

With a sigh, Shiho Miyano reached into the pocket of her white coat with her uncuffed hand, pulled out a red and white capsule, and swallowed it.

Neither Gin nor Vodka dared to make a move, so she had no choice but to end her own life. In fact, dying from the poison she herself developed was quite fitting for her life's way of dying.

After taking the medicine, Shiho Miyano smiled peacefully and quietly awaited her death.

The medicine took effect quickly. Shiho Miyano's heart started pounding, and then she felt a burning sensation all over her body—not the kind of fever you get with a normal fever, but the kind of heat that feels like it can melt you.

During a period of high fever, Shiho Miyano quickly lost consciousness and fell into a coma.

Not long after Shiho Miyano fell into a coma, the door to the storage room where she was being held was suddenly kicked open, and Li Xin burst into the storage room.

The origami crane fluttered over, and Li Xin looked at it with a puzzled expression as it landed on an unconscious child.

He took out a photo and compared it. Although the unconscious child looked very similar to the girl in the photo—hair color, hairstyle, and facial features matched—the problem was that the body size was too different! This was not what was advertised!

Chapter 137 Children's Tickets Half Price

Although it was strange that the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in the photo had become this little girl who looked only seven or eight years old, Chika's origami crane had indeed landed on this child dressed in adult clothes, so he could only take the child back first and then think about other things.

Who are you?

A man in a black suit noticed the commotion in the storage room and rushed over. Seeing Li Xin holding a child, he pulled out a gun from his pocket and pointed it at Li Xin.

He was a member of the Black Organization left behind by Gin and Vodka to guard Shiho Miyano. He had just gone to the restroom and was urinating when he heard a noise, which caused him to urinate on his hand. Now, seeing Li Xin, a man he didn't recognize, in the storage room, he immediately raised his gun and questioned the man's identity.

Li Xin ignored the member of the black-clad organization, wrapped the child in his clothes, and left on his own.

Without hesitation, the black-clad organization member fired a shot. The gunshot rang out, but the bullet missed its target. By the time the black-clad organization member reacted, he felt a sharp pain in his neck, his vision blurred, and he collapsed to the ground.

Holding the unconscious child carefully, Li Xin quickly left the place.

Not long after Li Xin left, Gin, who had just reported what had happened to the organization's BOSS, rushed back to the storage room with Vodka.

Given Gin's sensitivity to gunshots, the gunshots that had just rang out naturally did not escape his ears. So, upon hearing the gunshots, he even hung up the phone with the BOSS and ran over as fast as he could.

The organization member lying at the door was dead, his head rotated 360 degrees. Any normal human being would be completely dead if their head were rotated once.

In the storage room, Shiho Miyano had naturally disappeared, leaving only a silver handcuff attached to the water pipe.

Gin scanned the scene with a cold gaze, trying to find any clues, but unfortunately, even with Gin's keen observation skills, he could not find any relevant clues at the scene.

It was done by professionals!

Gin made a quick judgment; no one but a professional could possibly do that.

After carefully examining the dead organization members, he twisted their heads 360 degrees – a feat of strength that few could achieve – which further confirmed Gin's suspicions.

Gin stood up, picked up his phone, and dialed a number: "Boss, I'm sorry, Sherry has been rescued."

A deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "No wonder Akemi Miyano dared to defect. It seems she has already made contact with the 'Silver Bullet'."

"Silver Bullet" is the name given to Shuichi Akai, the undercover agent who once came close to the organization's core, within the Black Organization. In Western legends, evil creatures such as werewolves and vampires are afraid of silver objects. Shuichi Akai is called "Silver Bullet" because even the organization's boss felt that the man had the potential to destroy their organization.

Now, Sherry, an important scientist in the organization, has been rescued on the eve of her arrest. The most likely suspect is Shuichi Akai, who has a close relationship with Akemi Miyano.

It seems that after two years, that "silver bullet" has finally been fired again.

Gin nodded slightly and said, "I think so too, Boss. I'm sorry, it was my oversight at work."

Despite having kept a close watch on Miyano Akemi for the past two years, she still managed to secretly contact Akai Shuichi without his knowledge. His biggest mistake was letting Miyano Akemi know where Miyano Shiho was, giving Akai Shuichi the opportunity to rescue her.

The deep voice said, "It's not entirely your fault. I also agreed to the plan to lure out Shuichi Akai using Akemi Miyano. Now that things have turned out this way, we shouldn't keep arguing about who should take the blame, but should immediately take remedial action."

"Boss..."

A hint of emotion flashed in Gin's eyes.

He had thought that after making such a big blunder, the BOSS would punish him severely and even doubt his loyalty. But the BOSS just let it go so easily, showing his complete trust in him. How could this not move Gin?

“Your current stronghold has been compromised. They didn’t go all out to rescue Sherry this time, but now that Sherry is out, they have no more scruples. I think they will attack here soon. Abandon this place and don’t leave them anything useful.”

"Also, Miyano Akemi could never have found out Sherry's whereabouts on her own, so there must be a traitor among the organization's members in Tokyo who is tipping off Miyano Akemi. Gin, you know what to do, right?"

The BOSS methodically assigned the tasks, and Gin nodded, saying, "I understand, BOSS."

This short "I understand" signifies that the Black Organization's Tokyo branch is about to unleash a bloodbath—Gin, the Black Organization member who despises traitors the most, is about to go on another killing spree.

Ten minutes later, the biopharmaceutical company burst into flames. The fire was extremely intense, and the firefighters who arrived later did their best to prevent it from spreading to other places. The biopharmaceutical company itself was completely burned to the ground, leaving nothing but a few walls.

Fortunately, it happened at night, and the pharmaceutical company did not have a habit of working night shifts. Therefore, only the body of a security guard, suspected to be on duty, was found at the scene of the fire. The cause of the fire was eventually determined to be the security guard's negligence in lighting a cigarette in the laboratory where fire was prohibited, which caused some of the medicines in the laboratory to catch fire and led to this tragedy. The security guard himself paid the ultimate price for the fire.

The fire at the biopharmaceutical company naturally didn't affect Li Xin. He carried the child back to the third floor of the base, where Miyano Akemi and Chikara were waiting for his successful return.

"Shiho?"

Looking at the child in Li Xin's arms, Miyano Akemi exclaimed in surprise.

The girl in front of her was naturally her younger sister, Shiho Miyano. Before the organization sent Shiho Miyano abroad to study, she had always taken care of Shiho Miyano. How could she not recognize Shiho Miyano? But the question is, why did Shiho Miyano become like this?

"Is she really your sister? But why does she look different from the photo?"

Li Xin asked Miyano Akemi.

The girl in the photo is about sixteen or seventeen years old, and Miyano Akemi said that the photo is from two years ago, which means that Miyano Shiho should be eighteen or nineteen years old now, about the same age as herself. How did she become such a little girl?

"I do not know either."

Akemi Miyano asked blankly.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, the girl's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"elder sister?"

The girl had just woken up, and the scene before her was somewhat blurry, but she still recognized that it was her sister.

The girl smiled happily: "Is this what they call a deathbed fantasy? Even though it's just a fantasy, it's so good to see my sister again."

Miyano Akemi said, both amused and exasperated, "Shiho, it's me! It really is me! You're not dead, this isn't a hallucination!"

As Miyano Akemi spoke, she pinched the girl's soft face to bring her back to her senses.

As the girl gradually regained consciousness, she asked with an incredulous expression, "You're really my older sister? Then why have you grown so big?"

In her view, her older sister had obviously grown a lot bigger, which is why she thought it was just her imagination.

"because……"

Akemi Miyano gave a wry smile, took out a mirror she carried with her and showed it to the girl: "Look for yourself."

The girl looked at herself in the mirror, paused for a moment, and then quickly calmed down.

"I see."

The girl murmured, "So 'APTX4869' really does cause infantilization..."

"Shiho, what are you saying?"

Akemi Miyano asked curiously.

The girl, who was now shrunk, said, "Sister, you should know that I'm researching a certain drug for the organization."

Akemi Miyano nodded. Although Shiho Miyano didn't talk much about work with her (to protect Akemi Miyano), Akemi Miyano at least knew that Shiho Miyano had taken over the research from their parents and was developing a certain drug for the organization.

Shiho Miyano continued, "The development of that drug has hit a bottleneck. The drug not only failed to achieve its original effect, but also became a deadly poison. Because the drug can kill the user quickly and no toxins or cause of death can be detected, the organization used it to assassinate people who were hindering the organization in order to make use of it."

"It's so useful! Can I have some?"

Li Xin and Qian Jialuo spoke at the same time, exchanged a glance, and then looked away simultaneously.

Shiho Miyano didn't recognize Li Xin and Chika, but since they were with her sister, they were probably helping her escape the organization. So Shiho Miyano's attitude towards them was relatively good. She said calmly, "Unfortunately, I only had one of those poisons on me, but I've already taken it."

"You ate it? Then you..."

Li Xin was taken aback, then quickly realized: "You became like this because of that poison?"

Shiho Miyano nodded and said, "That's right. Although this poison caused mice to die quickly in thousands of experiments, it once caused a mouse to regress to an infant state. So, this poison may also have the effect of causing humans to become infantile. However, the probability of this is very small, because the organization used this poison to assassinate many people who hindered them. Those people died after ingesting this poison."

Suddenly, Shiho Miyano remembered something. She paused and whispered, "No, there's another person who is suspected of not being dead... Never mind, there's no point in talking about this now. Anyway, my constitution seems to be the same as that shrunken white mouse, with a peculiar adaptability to that poison, which is why I shrank."

Chika walked up to Shiho Miyano, pinched her cheek, and said, "Now that you've shrunk, why aren't you acting like you're trying to kill yourself? Speaking of which, it's so strange that you're saying such serious things with such a cute little face!"

Shiho Miyano broke free from Chikara's grasp, then rolled her eyes and said, "Do you think yelling will make me turn back? Besides, I developed this drug, so my current state is my retribution. Others have the right to complain, but I don't."

Seeing that Shiho Miyano quickly and calmly accepted the fact that she had shrunk, and spoke so logically, Chikara found it boring: "You child, you are really boring."

"She's not really a child."

Li Xin said to Qian Jialuo, "She's a proper adult, actually a few years older than Qian Jialuo, so of course she's not a child."

"Are you determined to argue with me?"

Qian Jialuo rolled her eyes at Li Xin.

"I'm just stating the facts."

Li Xin crossed his arms and said.

When Miyano Akemi learned about Miyano Shiho's situation, she felt a pang of heartache. She knew very well that although her younger sister appeared cold on the outside, she was kind at heart. The reason she researched that harmful poison was entirely because the organization was using her to coerce Miyano Shiho. She hugged Miyano Shiho and said, "Shiho, it's okay. I will find a way to turn back to normal with you!"

"no."

Shiho Miyano said very calmly, "Sister, you are just an ordinary member of the organization and do not know too many of the organization's secrets. But I am a core member of the organization and I know too many of the organization's secrets. The organization will definitely not let me go. So, the way I am now is the best way to hide myself. I think that even if I stand in front of Gin now, he will not recognize me."

Although becoming a child has many inconveniences, compared to safety, these have to take a backseat.

Akemi Miyano nodded and said to Shiho Miyano, "Okay, as long as you're safe and sound, Shiho, it doesn't matter."

It's good that Shiho Miyano has shrunk. She was sent abroad for further studies by the organization when she was about seven years old. Akemi Miyano missed Shiho Miyano's childhood, and now she can make up for it.

After speaking with Shiho Miyano, Akemi Miyano bowed to Shin and Chikara and said, "Mr. Shin, Ms. Chikara, we sisters are able to reunite entirely thanks to your help. I am truly grateful."
