Chapter 467
There's only one mother in the world who is good, even half a mother is still a mot
This is a conversation that took place during the kidnapping incident.
"How did you transfer your original body here?"
"I still have things to finish."
In a back alley in Shibuya, Tani and Aoyagi looked at each other, the latter explaining with an innocent expression.
A few minutes earlier, the two were talking in a coffee shop when Aoyagi Akimitsu tried to get closer to observe Tani's expression, but she impatiently pushed his face away, causing his clone ability to be canceled on the spot.
Gu Shao remained silent. She looked in a certain direction and asked, "What else do you need to explain?"
"About Rum, but there's no rush. We can talk about it in the group later," Aoyagi Akimitsu said. "Aren't you going to collect Pramia's body now? I also need to check if Elenica has managed to escape. Let's go together."
Gu Shao withdrew her gaze and instead examined his face: "You're coming with me looking like this?"
"Wait a mininute."
As he finished speaking, his features melted rapidly, like burning wax, only to quickly reform and become another face. At the same time, his body also changed.
Aoyagi Akimitsu transformed into a woman.
Valley Sheath: "..."
This was the first time she had seen Aoyagi Akimitsu's face as Aniset. She looked him up and down, and her first reaction was, "Completely changed?"
“Of course,” Aoyagi Akimitsu said in a woman’s voice, as he hugged Tani Sho’s arm. “It has the whole set, including the reproductive system—wasn’t it the same when you became a man?”
Tani, whose physical gender is male and whose psychological gender is female, silently watched Aoyagi Akimitsu, whose physical gender is female and whose psychological gender is male.
She stared at the face and suddenly asked, "Whose face is this?"
Aoyagi Akihiro blinked: "Hmm?"
“You originally looked like your mother,” Gu Shao said. “Now that you’ve become a woman, whose face are you using?”
Based on her understanding of her father's enemy, it was fine to impersonate him occasionally, but if it was necessary to use his appearance for a long time, he would never use Godivasel's appearance.
She even wondered if he had been born looking like his father, would he have rubbed his face with sulfuric acid on the very first day he was brought back to the organization?
Upon hearing this question, Aoyagi Akihiro remained silent for a moment.
"Um……"
He sighed softly.
"Her? She's like... my second mother."
……
back to the front.
The moment Morofushi Kagemitsu saw the woman, his instinct was to rush over to check on her, but he forgot that Aoyagi Akimitsu was still holding his arm. The moment he moved his feet, the hand holding him tightened its grip instantly.
"Don't move."
Aoyagi Akimitsu threw back at him exactly what he had said a few seconds earlier.
Morobushi Kagemitsu felt that the hand gripping him was like an iron clamp, and he probably couldn't break free even under normal circumstances, let alone after being injected with drugs.
After a brief moment of anger, he gradually calmed down.
He looked at the woman more closely.
Then he realized he had made a mistake.
In his memory, Aniset was in her twenties, a little younger than him, while the woman in front of him looked to be in her forties, with the years having left their mark on her beauty.
Moreover, the hair wasn't brownish-gray, but raven-black. "Where is this?"
Conan Edogawa, unaware of any inside information, posed a simple question.
Even though the two adults around him told him not to move around, he still couldn't suppress his curiosity.
“Let’s go back out first,” Aoyagi Akimitsu suggested. “I’ll try to open the other door; I can kick it open with this thickness.”
Morofushi Kagemitsu looked at the metal door that had been retracted into the wall and was estimated to be more than 15 centimeters thick, and tried to persuade him: "No, the entrances and exits of this kind of base have alarm systems. If you break into the door, you will definitely be discovered. Even if you have Gin's face, it won't help."
"Shall we go in and take a look?" Conan Edogawa suggested. "The security cameras upstairs don't seem to be working. Did your friend hack in, Mr. Aoyagi?"
Aoyagi Akimitsu pressed the button on his earpiece: "She said she currently controls most of the surveillance cameras here, except for some areas that aren't connected to the internet... Okay, your side is more important, keep working on it, I won't bother you for now."
The next sentence was clearly addressed to the other party. Morofushi Kagemitsu asked, "Mr. Aoyagi, is your partner also an FBI agent?"
What does "which is more important" mean?
Could the hacker (suspected) who is helping them escape the organization's base be doing other things at the same time?
Aoyagi Akimitsu immediately denied it: "No, I met her elsewhere. She has her own job. Let's not talk about her anymore. What should we do now? Should we go in and check, like Conan suggested?"
Zhu Fujingguang frowned slightly.
There's no way back now, and we don't know how to open the other door. We can't exactly go back and cut off that bottom hand to use...
Then...
The police officer, who had previously been an undercover agent, looked at the room, which he suspected was the organization's laboratory. During his time undercover, he had never set foot in such a place.
He took a deep breath and said, "Then let's go in."
The three of them didn't just stride in; they moved forward little by little, close to the wall.
Aoyagi Akimitsu supported Morofushi Kagemitsu, while simultaneously feeling around on the walls to check for any mechanisms. He seemed uninterested in the object in the center of the room.
Morofushi Kagemitsu's attention was mostly focused there, but as he moved, he saw more.
In the center, besides the large, upright glass jar, there was a ring of machines of unknown purpose, and a metal bed placed in the space between the machines, perpendicular to the glass jar. This layout was somewhat like the power button on a computer.
Morobuchi Kagemitsu couldn't help but keep looking at the glass jar.
Even if it wasn't Anisette, this woman with a similar face is probably related to her in some way.
Conan Edogawa's attention was elsewhere; he spotted the bed and exclaimed in surprise, "There seems to be someone on it!"
Aoyagi Akimitsu finally looked away from the wall and turned to look there: "That's..."
A young woman lay on the hospital bed, wearing a hospital gown and an oxygen tube. Her features were more defined than those of a typical Asian woman, making her appear to be of mixed race.
She lay there without a blanket, just stiff and unsupported, like an abandoned doll.
"It's Miss Liya!"
Conan Edogawa recognized her: "Ichiki Takeuchi showed me the photo this afternoon. There's no mistake, she's Miss Ria!"
Morofushi Hiromitsu barely managed to tear his gaze away from the glass jar and noticed someone else on the bed next to him: "You mean Shirai Riya, the victim of the sixth medical malpractice incident at Takeuchi General Hospital? But she's not..."
In the afternoon, while he was in the hospital archives, he had some doubts, but he also looked at some of the materials. So when he heard the name, he immediately remembered who the elementary school student was talking about.
"This afternoon, her father and stepmother chose to forgo treatment and had the funeral home come to collect her body, with plans to hold a funeral in a few days."
After finishing his sentence, Aoyagi Akimitsu sighed.
"The dead are being transported to a place like this... It seems the Takeuchi family, and perhaps the Karasuma family as well, have deep connections with this organization." (End of Chapter)
