Rewind to the day before in Mika City,
In the living room of Yizhu's house.
"Vermouth, what exactly are you fantasizing about?"
"Izuki Karuta is dead!"
Gin said ominously, "Hand over Miyano Akemi now."
"I must kill her this time!"
Chapter 168 Vermouth's Brainwashing
On the day that Itachi Karuta and others were adrift at sea in a rubber boat, they were unexpectedly caught in a storm and tragically went missing,
The people sent by the organization to track and observe the situation then reported the findings to their superiors.
That evening, Vermouth received the news.
He immediately used his satellite phone to make contact, hoping to confirm whether Itake Karuta was still alive.
As a result... they couldn't get in touch with him.
Then the storm at sea grew stronger and stronger, raging in the area where Izuki Karuta and the others disappeared.
Search and rescue teams are simply unable to take action.
Four days have passed now, and there's still no news.
"It's also possible that they're deliberately not contacting us."
"Izuki Karuta had previously experienced an avalanche that nearly killed everyone."
"He was completely unharmed."
Vermouth snorted coldly: "Gin, I advise you not to go looking for trouble."
"Akami Miyano is his person."
"If you really harm her, when Izuki Qingtian returns, no one can protect you!"
After Itake Karuta disappeared
Vermouth vaguely sensed that Gin's gaze was a little off.
Sherry is very important to the 09 organization now, and Gin most likely won't dare to touch her.
I'm afraid that Gin will blame Miyano Akemi for the harm that Izuki Karita caused before.
"Vermouth, I think you've been brainwashed."
"They actually thought he could come back?"
"The last avalanche is completely incomparable to this sea storm."
Gin's words were full of sarcasm: "Vermouth, you wouldn't happen to have fallen for that kid, would you?"
"It seems necessary to report to the boss and arrange anti-brainwashing training for you."
The day after Itake Karuda was shipwrecked,
The analysts in the organization all believed that the probability of Izuki Karuta surviving was less than one in ten thousand.
The intensity of this sea storm is unprecedented.
Even a massive ship weighing tens of thousands of tons can be prone to accidents in such a storm.
Moreover, the boat that Izuki Karuta and the others were riding in was just an ordinary rubber boat, which would definitely be capsized by the waves.
No matter how strong a person is, if they fall into the sea, they cannot survive a storm.
Not to mention, the storm has been going on for several days.
Vermouth, however, still believed that Izuki Karuta was alive.
"Unless the BOSS gives the order personally."
"Otherwise, no one will be able to take Miyano Akemi away!"
Vermouth stopped arguing with Gin and instead warned him, "Once Akemi Miyano dies, Sherry will definitely not let you off the hook either."
"It is even less likely that we will cooperate with the organization to continue the research."
It wasn't that Vermouth didn't believe the analysis of those people in the organization.
However, Izuki Karuta cannot be judged by common sense.
Moreover, Gin's actions are utterly unreasonable; no matter how you look at it, it's a lose-lose situation.
"If Shirley dares not cooperate, I have every reason to punish her!"
Gin revealed a morbid smile: "Wait until I put a gun to her head."
"Sherry will definitely be willing to cooperate!"
After saying that, Gin turned to leave.
Since Vermouth wouldn't talk, he would use the organization's intelligence network to find her.
Although Vermouth was skilled in disguise, it was impossible for her to leave no trace whatsoever.
Gin, don't think you can use death to threaten everyone!
"There are things in this world more terrifying than death..."
"Moreover, Izuki Karuta is no ordinary person..."
Vermouth gave Gin her final advice before he left.
Gin's steps never faltered.
Gin left.
Vermouth remained seated in the living room.
In the evening, around the time she finished get off work, Shirley returned home.
"Gin is here again today?"
Shirley could guess what was going on just by looking at Vermouth's expression.
Vermouth nodded and asked softly, "Izuki Karuta... he should still be alive, right?"
“He won’t die no matter who dies,” Shirley said calmly. “But don’t forget that witch.”
When Sherry saw Koizumi Akako off last time, she already knew that there were powers beyond reason in this world.
"I know."
Vermouth nodded.
She was also present at the time and saw Koizumi Akako riding a broom and flying into the sky.
However, Izuki Qingtian had instructed that this matter must be kept absolutely secret and must not be revealed to anyone under any circumstances.
Vermouth dared not defy the indelible fear in her heart and did not report to the organization.
This is why Vermouth still believes that Izuki Karuta is alive.
“By the way,” Vermouth added, “Gin has already mobilized people to search for Akemi Miyano.”
"Is the location where you hid truly foolproof?"
Vermouth was somewhat uneasy.
What if Gin really finds Akemi Miyano and something unexpected happens?
When Izuki Karuta returns, it's probably not just Gin who will suffer.
In fact, Miyano Akemi was not transferred by Vermouth.
Instead, Sherry made the decision based on her own judgment, following the contingency plan left by Izuki Karuta.
"Anyway, you don't need to worry."
"Don't even think about asking any more questions."
After Shirley finished speaking, she turned around and went upstairs.
But instead of going back to his own room, he...
Instead, they went into the reception room.
After closing the doors and windows, Shirley looked at the painting hanging on the wall.
The painting is completely blank; there is nothing there.
“Sister…” Shirley murmured softly, gently stroking the painting, her eyes filled with longing and worry.
Three more days passed.
The storm at sea has stopped, but the rescue team has found nothing.
Gin still hasn't found Akemi Miyano's hiding place.
Vermouth and Sherry have been placed under house arrest and are no longer able to return to the Izuku family home.
