There was silence.

All I could hear was my own heartbeat and breathing.

"..."

The woman's face looked unusually haggard, and her eyes, which had lost their color, were even darker.

She was handcuffed next to the gas pipe, and her legs were almost numb from kneeling for so long...but it didn't matter anymore.

Anyway, I will be killed soon.

(elder sister.....)

During the four hours of imprisonment, what constantly appeared in Miyano Shiho's mind was, as expected, the gentle smile of her sister Miyano Akemi.

Miyano Shiho learned of her death two days ago.

At first, she hadn't seen her sister for too long, and her weekly call time was gone. Even no matter what messages she sent, they fell on deaf ears... Realizing that something was wrong, Shiho Miyano went to question Gin, but what she got was Gin admitting that he had killed her.

At that moment, Miyano Shiho felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave.

She even remembered the cold look and tone in Gin's voice when he said this, and when she asked why, Gin turned away without even bothering to answer.

As for the time after that, the woman didn't know how she spent it...

She was in a daze, like a walking corpse, and the researchers she led in the development also lost their direction, and the entire research project came to a complete standstill.

Later, Miyano Shiho decided to protest to the organization by interrupting her research and wanted to find out the truth. However, this act of resistance was absolutely not tolerated by the organization - Gin detained her in the gas chamber and issued a disciplinary decision to the higher-ups.

At that moment, Miyano Shiho understood.

Unless I beg for mercy before being punished, I will probably face the same fate as my sister...

Finally, recalling the scene when she last saw her sister with nostalgia, Miyano Shiho took out the APTX4869 she had hidden on her body and swallowed it directly.

The bitter irony of a researcher being poisoned by the drug he himself developed is so bitter that it's hard to laugh out loud.

Next second,

Intense pain surged through the woman's limbs and bones, and she let out a scream as if her whole body was being torn apart and dissolved.

-------

The sky tonight was darker than usual, with thick clouds completely obscuring the moon.

Boom--

Suddenly there was thunder.

The sky flickered for a moment, and then rain began to fall.

It was just a drizzle at first, but soon the rain started to get heavy, and the heavy rain made the scenery in the distance blurred.

Breathing heavily, the shrunken Miyano Shiho, wearing a white coat that dragged on the ground, walked with the help of the wall.

Her mind was a little fuzzy.

I actually escaped...

Even though there had been precedents, Shiho Miyano still didn't feel it was real when she discovered that the drug she was researching actually had the side effect of making people smaller and it had happened to her.

However, the cold rain that wet my hair and clothes told the truth.

"Ha ha....."

Miyano Shiho was breathing heavily.

In the rain, her breath was slightly misty, and she felt weak and uncomfortable every time she took a step outside.

My body temperature seems to be higher than normal...

Is this a side effect of my body shrinking? Or am I running a fever?

She completely forgot that she had no appetite to eat anything after learning of her sister's death.

(We need to get out of here quickly... Kudo Shinichi's house is in this direction--)

There were no pedestrians on the streets on the rainy night.

Fortunately, since the last defection of the researchers, Gin has been extremely strict about the entry and exit of the institute's personnel. Both researchers and security personnel are prohibited from going out during this period.

Miyano Shiho plans to go to Kudo Shin's family.

She no longer had any ties to this world. The only person she could think of was the high school detective who, after swallowing APTX4869, had transformed into a child and shared her "same fate." If it was him, perhaps he would understand her? At the very least, she should at least warn him of the dangers of the organization.

She walked laboriously in the direction of her memory.

As she turned a corner, she noticed a silver Mercedes parked there.

Miyano Shiho didn't want to pay any attention, but the car door suddenly opened, and a slender figure walked out, instantly making her feel like she was falling into an icy cave.

Cointreau!

With a gentle smile, the incredibly delicate man stood there holding an umbrella.

He looked down at me with pity.

"...People who get wet in the rain are kind of pitiful."

Miyano Shiho only felt that her expression must be very stiff at this moment.

She only felt that the person standing in front of her was surrounded by a black aura, blending into the rainy night and the sound of thunder.

A flash of light appeared among the dark clouds.

The face of the man under the umbrella flickered for a moment, and he just looked at this side quietly.

Did Cointreau recognize itself?

Maybe not...

Miyano Shiho's mind was in a state of confusion. The tension and fear of escaping death, coupled with her cold, made it almost impossible for her to think.

Cointreau probably doesn't recognize his shrunken self...

However, I was wearing this white coat, and he seemed to be an extremely powerful detective...

Gasping in fear, Miyano Shiho watched Hayashi Yoshiki walking towards her and couldn't help but take a step back, but her legs went weak and she fell directly to the ground.

She slumped over the cold water.

Lin Jiashu smiled and took Miyano Shiho's small body under the umbrella.

He squatted down and reached out to touch her forehead.

Very hot...

Under Miyano Shiho's tense gaze, he picked her up and walked towards his car.

Lin Jiashu put her in the passenger seat.

He took a towel from the car to wipe the rain off her head, but there was nothing he could do about her wet clothes.

Miyano Shiho was silent and looked a little frightened, just like an autistic child.

Lin Jiashu started the car.

The moment she saw that the vehicle was heading towards the research institute she had just escaped from, Miyano Shiho's face turned extremely pale and she even began to despair - but the car did not pass by the research institute in the end, but turned into another street before that.

Lin Jiashu did not forget that Vodka was very good at checking surveillance. At this time, even just passing by the research institute would feel a bit troublesome.

As Miyano Shiho saw his car driving farther and farther away, her anxious heart relaxed a little.

She seemed to have fallen asleep due to the psychological gap caused by the sudden shock and her physical weakness from being caught in the rain. The heater in the car was on.

Lin Jiashu drove quietly.

Chapter 114: Good morning, Shirley

When I woke up, I saw a white ceiling.

It's not a hospital, nor a clinic, but it's unusually simple and spacious.

With intense fear, Miyano Shiho slowly sat up.

The blanket slipped off her body, revealing that she was now wearing a cute children's nightgown.

It's even pink...

There were no cameras around, and no one was supervising me by my bed.

This discovery made Miyano Shiho feel more at ease. She realized that Jundu might have just happened to pass by and did not recognize her identity.

But it may be hard to say after a long time.

I disappeared from the gas chamber inexplicably, and this news could not be concealed. Once Jundu knew about it, I would definitely be suspected for appearing near the research institute last night in a white coat!

Realizing she couldn't delay any longer, the little girl got out of bed.

When she opened the door, she found that it was a place similar to an office - and the man was there.

He sat on the sofa and read a book.

He looked calm and gentle, and the atmosphere around him was so peaceful... However, Miyano Shiho's hairs stood on end. The familiar and terrifying aura she felt personally made her whole body tense. The dark aura that wrapped around her like a suffocating breath prevented her from even breathing a sigh of relief!

"Good morning, how did you sleep?"

“…It’s alright.”

Stopping her trembling, Miyano Shiho answered while suppressing her fear.

"That's good. You had a very high fever last night, but you seem a little more energetic now that you've slept."

Lin Jiashu put down the book and walked towards her.

Miyano Shiho is indeed very weak at the moment.

She looked at the gentle expression on Lin Jiashu's face and was sure that he really didn't recognize her...

Yes, helping a child with a fever who was wandering alone on a rainy night was just doing something that was "appropriate for one's status."

Miyano Shiho knew that some members of the organization had a glamorous appearance, such as politicians, entrepreneurs, police officers or celebrities, and they also used the convenience of their identities to cover up many things the organization did.

Just when she was congratulating herself on her good luck, she heard Lin Jiashu say with a smile:

"Now that you're awake, come with me somewhere."

"Shirley."

!!!!

Miyano Shiho opened her eyes wide in horror at the sudden call.

Even though Lin Jiashu did not write her name in the Death Note, at that moment, she really had the illusion that her heart had stopped.

Lin Jiashu looked at her gently.

After shrinking, Miyano Shiho looks extremely cute.

Her smart face has a natural sense of delicacy under her slightly curly brown short hair, and because she is relatively young, she looks like a doll.

What’s more important is that there’s a sense of “incongruity” about her as she had just become smaller.

--Yes, putting her appearance in her place, it feels like a child trying to grow up quickly and pretending to be mature.

"Are you...going to take me back to the organization?"

Miyano Shiho's expression turned sinister.

After going around in circles, she still couldn't escape this fate. Despair surged into her heart again, making her eyes dim again.

Just die.

She could no longer bear the temperature of this world.

Lin Jiashu drove Miyano Shiho out.

The latter remained silent throughout the journey, with a dead look in his eyes.

She has now given up struggling and is just thinking about how after her death, she hopes that the fact that her body has become smaller will not make the organization suspect Kudo Arata again. If that is the case, then when she goes to hell, her guilt will be even greater.

However, what Miyano Shiho did not expect was that Lin Yoshiki did not take her back to the laboratory, but took her to a somewhat old apartment.

"Ding dong~~"
