Chapter 270 The One-Eyed Single Rye
Figures mingled, fingernails dug tightly into collars, two similar faces.
Between his fervent breaths, only deep hatred and anger were being released.
Mary Akai instinctively sensed that this was not a good thing and struggled desperately. Long-term use of drugs had weakened her strength; she could bite Akemi's lips and tongue with her teeth and tear them apart like a wild beast, but recovery was only a matter of a moment.
Akemi Kurogami only came to her senses when she let go and let Mary Akai cover her throat and slide to the ground.
"Cough cough cough! Akemi..."
Mary Akai, propped up on the ground in agony, questioned her niece, trying to rouse her from the last shred of reason: "It's okay if you hate me! But do you really want to give in to that person? The organization murdered Elena and her husband, and imprisoned you and your sister. Do you think he'll let you go?"
Locked in by her resentful gaze, Kuromon Haruya smiled but remained silent.
A hand gently cupped her accusing index finger, and Akemi Kuromiya knelt beside the fallen Mary Akai:
“Aunt Mary, haven’t you seen it yet? We’ve been living in hell for a long time.”
"..." Unable to believe what she had just heard, Mary Akai gasped and shakily raised her head.
In the darkness shrouded by her falling hair, those sapphire blue eyes were clearer than ever before, coldly gazing down at her. Within them, besides resentment and guilt, lay a trace of sober pity, a result of careful consideration of gains and losses.
"Cough cough, you're conscious..." Meeting that gaze, Akai Mary understood everything. Even coughing up blood, she still shouted angrily, "You bastard, you chose to betray us!"
“Have you read Sherlock Holmes?” Yoya Kuromon, sitting next to him, suddenly interjected. “In *A Scandal in Bohemia*, the world-famous detective once said something like this: ‘When a house is on fire, people will run straight for what they care about most.’”
"You started this fire; she was simply deciding which treasures to hold onto tightly and which to discard."
"You think I'm coercing them? Don't be ridiculous, they chose this themselves."
Kuromon Haruya glanced at his watch, noticing the 30 seconds had passed, and looked displeased. He stood up and walked to Mary's side, lifting his knee and pressing the heel of his shoe against her back, slowly applying pressure: "You talk too much. Enjoy the effects of Drug A."
The moment her internal organs were squeezed, a sudden, intense pain erupted from deep within her bones! Pain, twisting, torment! A burning sensation, like being engulfed in acidic steam, gripped and squeezed Akai Mary tightly. She was like a waterlogged sponge, the sound of bones rubbing together echoing clearly in the room.
"Ahhh-"
White steam rose from part of the torso, just like when Conan and others shrunk after taking the drug.
As he observed, Yoruichi Kuromon sorted through the conjectures in his mind.
Aptx4869 and "Silver Bullet" are different products from the same branch, and their mechanism of action is spontaneous apoptosis of cells, but they target different cells.
After the latter was fully developed, Elena Miyano stopped researching the former, and therefore, he had no way of knowing the final effect of the completed drug A.
"On one side is a targeted poison for immortals, on the other is a miraculous elixir of youth; we'll see how Akai Mary performs."
Regrettably discovering that Akai Mary seemed to be alive, Kuromon Haruya ordered those behind him, "It's about time to bring the dolls over."
“Okay.” Miyano Akemi turned and walked towards the door.
The squeezing sounds gradually subsided, and as the steam dissipated, a small body lay limp in a pool of blood. The pristine white lab coat was soaked with blood, and the little girl lay on her side, breathing painfully.
"Ok?"
Kuromon Haruya noticed something was wrong and used the tip of his shoe to lift her onto her back, revealing her crimson right side of her body—her calf and forearm had melted away, her right eyelid was noticeably sunken, her eyeball was missing, and her hair had turned somewhat white.
"The shrinking and erasure processes are working simultaneously!"
This is a completely new phenomenon that has never occurred before!
Kuromon Haruya watched in astonishment as the wound gradually healed, then picked up the doll-like girl and examined her closely: "What's going on? Could it be that rejuvenation and dissolution are two completely different drug mechanisms?"
Three years ago, after Mary Akai was drugged and fell into the river, Haruya Kuromon was deeply disappointed when he saw the adult woman being pulled out of the water, and even made the decision that Conan Edogawa would never appear again.
Unexpectedly, the rejuvenation effect was just a bit late! This is a rare discovery!
Thinking about the potential breakthrough in Drug A, Kuromon Haruya jumped out of bed with joy, pulling out her phone: "As expected of a sister from outside this realm! This is amazing news, I have to tell you about it right now..."
Looking at the two pinned posts labeled "[Big Son (Unable to Contact)]" and "Good Daughter (Unable to Contact)", the smile gradually disappeared from his face:
"I almost forgot. In order to create the illusion that the boss has been detached from the organization for a long time, and to make everyone focus on scheming for power, I haven't messaged Bei-chan or Jin-chan for several months."
"..."QVQ
Snapped!
Kuromon Haruya tossed his phone onto the bed, glanced at the unconscious Akai Mary, and barely suppressed the urge to leave the base to spy on his children, continuing to play the role of the boss.
"...After this farce is over, I will absolutely, absolutely take a long vacation for hundreds of years!"
After the boss's unknown emo moment, Akemi Kurogami quickly arrived pushing two refrigerated carts.
She took out a special sampling container from the freezer, and after a slight surprise at the shrunken aunt, she continued to collect samples of blood, hair, bone marrow, etc., and sent them to the testing window on the wall.

Staring at the flashing sparks at the tip of the stun gun, Kuromon Haruya smiled and pressed it directly against Akai Mary's chest.
"Well!"
The young girl jolted violently like a carp leaping out of its shell, and just as she was about to get up to fight, she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
She instinctively sat up, then realized her perspective was off, and turned her head to look at her right hand pressed against the ground...
Akai Marie:!
"Yes, parts of your body have already dissolved under the effects of the drug."
She looked up, and the man who had always treated her coldly suddenly became gentle, speaking to her in a tone like a neighbor's older brother:
"Congratulations, Ms. Mary Akai."
I originally planned to get rid of you as soon as you met my daughters-in-law. But considering that you've deliberately increased your value, I'll let bygones be bygones for your past curses against my little crows and spare your life this time.
As he spoke, he clapped his hands lightly: "Come on, Mingmei. Bring out the dolls and tell Aunt Mary about their origins."
"Yes."
Bowing respectfully to the departing Haruya Kuromon, Akemi Kuromiya, with her hands under Jodie's armpits, laboriously pulled her out, explaining their background as she did so: "This is Shuichi's ex-girlfriend from the FBI..."
Listening to the aunt and nephew catching up in the background, Kuromon Haruya put his hands behind his head and let out a long yawn at the ceiling light: "Aww~"
As originally planned, he intended to enjoy Akai Mary's mournful wails a little longer, but then he remembered Gin and the others...
"We can replay this on the Ark later, but let's go back soon and see what my little crows are up to~"
As they reached the door, Kuromon Haruya suddenly remembered something and, without turning around, ordered, "Single rye whiskey, remember to transplant your left eye to her!"
"Yes, sir."
