Model worker and his little darling

"The Zoo is a multinational organization, mostly staffed by magicians who use animal-themed code names. Recently, they've had some friction with us, and we'll likely have more opportunities to clash with them in the future."

Sila: ...

He didn't want that opportunity.

Seeing this, Hirakiyoshi, who had been watching Sila closely, had a flicker in his eyes and made some guesses in his mind. The problem probably lies with Japan.

"There's nothing much going on here for now. You can go back to Japan to recuperate."

"it is good."

Sila had no objection to this; returning to Japan would be better, since it was the place they were most familiar with, and everything would be more convenient.

Just then, another person appeared behind him. Xila's lips twitched. He remembered this devilishly handsome man, especially his captivating peach blossom eyes.

Du Bai smiled and looked at Ping Qing, "Long time no see!"

Watching the two figures leave, Xila raised an eyebrow. It seemed the two were quite familiar. Last time Du Bai came here to discuss plans with Gin, Xila assumed he was one of Gin's men, but it turned out he was one of Yu Shi's.

He then looked at the three silent men beside him, including Vodka, and said, "Pack up, we should head back to Japan."

Vodka nodded and took out his phone to report his itinerary to Gin.

Having listened to the accounts from several people from different perspectives, Ping Qing's expression grew increasingly grim. After a long silence, his clenched fists slowly relaxed before he finally spoke: "Any news from the zoo?"

Du Bai smiled slightly, "Of course I have the information, but I can't guarantee its authenticity." The fact that he can receive such information speaks volumes about its veracity.

"I heard that they recently found a gifted little girl who has caught the eye of that gentleman, and he's going to nurture her well."

Upon hearing this, Ping Qing's eyes narrowed. The little girl? She's been valued?

When did you receive this message?

Seeing this, Du Bai was surprised. This information was actually useful. "I found out yesterday."

Hirakiyo narrowed his eyes. Haibara?

Given their methods, they must have already learned everything about APTX-4869 from Haibara. They seem more interested in finding Pandora than in science.

But now that they have Haibara as a living example, and have already achieved their goal to some extent, would they give up on Haibara so quickly? So what is their purpose in releasing information about Haibara now?

Seeing Ping Qing's furrowed brows, Du Bai asked curiously, "Is this little girl very important?"

Ping Qing gave a light "hmm." If it really was Haibara, he certainly wouldn't let someone take her away so easily. Besides, Haibara was still useful.

……

Her wrist, which Gin was gripping tightly, was already turning red. She looked up at Gin, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Pingqing blinked and leaned against Gin. "Gin, I'm back." He didn't expect Gin to wake up so quickly. He was caught by Gin as soon as he got back.

Gin sighed and reached out to hug the person in front of him. No matter what had happened, Pingqing always made him soften. Feeling Pingqing's presence, Gin finally relaxed. When he woke up and didn't see Pingqing, he thought it was just a hallucination caused by his nerves being too tense lately.

"Thankfully, this isn't a hallucination."

Upon hearing this, Pingqing looked at Gin and said softly, "I'm sorry, this will never happen again."

This absurd world, this absurd script, is ultimately not as simple as he thought. Fortunately, he has the ability to change the status quo.

Seeing Hirai's resolute expression, Gin gripped Hirai's hand tighter, "What are you going to do?"

"I want to resolve things here quickly and return to Japan as soon as possible. Right now, all I need to do is bring Sherry back."

Upon hearing this, a hint of impatience flashed in Gin's eyes. Sherry? A woman who's nothing but trouble. If it weren't for Taira Kiyoshi protecting her, he would have sent this whole family to hell long ago.

……

Strolling along the narrow and winding streets, the ancient buildings on both sides tell tales of the vicissitudes of time, and the traces of history are clearly visible in these buildings.

As I walked up to the bridge, it was as if I could see the scene of Gin falling off the bridge that night. I sighed softly and looked at his reflection in the water.

At this moment, a handsome man in a suit walked up to Ping Qing.

"Yu Lu, are you interested in discussing a collaboration?"

Pingqing glanced at Spider with a half-smile; Spider was dressed up quite properly today.

"You? What qualifications do you have to talk to me about cooperation? Besides, do you even think there's any possibility of us cooperating?"

Even when mocked by Ping Qing, Spider remained calm. "I'm here on behalf of that gentleman. He thinks highly of you and hopes to get to know you better. After all, we share the same goal. Besides, having enough leverage naturally makes one qualified to cooperate."

Although he didn't know the reason, he vaguely sensed from the man's words that the Imperial Deer seemed to be related to the goals their organization was pursuing. Thinking of the blood moon that night, Spider glanced at Ping Qing beside him; he was indeed no ordinary person.

Ping Qing raised an eyebrow. He was quite curious about the gentleman at the zoo, wondering what kind of old monster he was. Unfortunately, these kinds of old monsters were very mysterious and wouldn't easily reveal their whereabouts, making them very difficult to approach.

"The same goal? Do you really think Pandora exists in this world? Scientific advancements have enabled people to explain and deal with various phenomena more rationally. The rise and popularization of science has replaced magic and mysticism as the dominant force in explaining the world."

"Magic is something beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and naturally it also has energy beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Although magic is gradually declining now, there are still many families in this world who have practiced magic for generations and are unknown to outsiders."

Thoughts raced through Ping Qing's mind as he looked at Spider. "Darkness prevails, order is lost, and ultimately, desolation ensues! I've always been curious about this statement."

Spider looked at Pingqing meaningfully, "I think only you can understand these words." He remembered that the gentleman had said that these words were about Yu Lu.

Ping Qing's eyes flickered. "Really?"

Zoos and magic, how interesting!

Just then, someone appeared on the bridge with Ai Haibara.

Seeing Haibara cowering with her head down, Hirai clicked his tongue and said, "Is this what you call cooperation?"

"We invited Miss Shirley to visit so that she could understand the real world we live in. However, Miss Shirley is a little timid and doesn't talk much."

Watching Haibara walk step by step towards Hirai, Beaver's face grew increasingly grim. The person he brought back was simply being sent back. And Spide, who had clearly angered the master for his incompetence, yet somehow managed to regain the master's trust.
