Chapter 55 'Vampire' Renye Karasuma
"Do you know why Boss called the FBI ace Shuichi Akai, who is the biggest threat to the organization, the Silver Bullet? Later, this name was faintly inherited by Ji Xing Qixin, who had directly and indirectly brought huge troubles to the organization many times, but Did not give Ji Xing Qixin a new title."
"Silver bullets, also known as silver bullets, refer to sterling silver or silver-plated bullets. In popular Gothic novels in the 19th century, it is a killer weapon against supernatural creatures such as werewolves, vampires, witches, etc. It has a one-hit kill effect!"
"Boss, that gentleman, or my adoptive father, is actually a 'vampire'."
In Ji Xing's biological laboratory, Conan mourned to Hui Yuan: "Last night, that woman, Rumi Wakasa threatened me viciously. After asking me about my identity, she told me this."
"Vampire?" Hui Yuan said in surprise, "The kind that feeds on human blood and has an infinite lifespan..."
"It's not that kind of creature in the story, how could that kind of monster exist in reality."
Conan recalled the situation last night, and continued to imitate Rumi Wakasa's tone.
"It started 50 years ago.
Keen to collect artworks, at the age of 90, he obtained his long-standing goal, a special gem called Pandora.
It is said that the gem can bring people eternal life, probably because of some special substance contained in it, which can greatly slow down the aging speed of the human body.
In order to test the effect of gemstones, he began to collect orphans from all over the world, of different genders, races, and ages. At first, there were hundreds of them, including me (Wakasa Rumi), Sharon (Bermod), and Toliso...
About a year or two later, there were only seven orphans left with him, and what he told us was that the others were adopted. He doesn't have the ability to take care of so many people growing up, but the seven of us have been his children since then.
Now that I think about it, those other children died without knowing it. "
Hui Yuanai's expression changed slightly.
Conan also showed a sad expression.
"Unknowingly, he fed the powder of Pandora gemstones in batches. The ones who can withstand the anti-aging effect are probably only our seven children."
Is it similar to the shrinking effect of APTX4869? Huihara murmured sadly, no, it might have been... the root of APTX4869.
"That period of ignorant childhood was the happiest time of our seven lives. He taught us to read and write, taught us to sing the nursery rhyme "Song of the Seven Sons" together, and made us feel the warmth of home.
But the good times didn't last long. He is getting older and weaker, and he still hasn't found the commonality of the seven of us, and he hasn't found a way to use Pandora safely, so he is starting to get anxious.
What's more, even if he finds it, his aging body may not be able to make him resist Pandora's 'drug power'. How can he take the medicine in a gentler way? He thought of filtration and dilution. "
"Filter with our seven bodies!"
"There was medicine left in our bodies and blood, so he took some of our blood and even bone marrow as an excuse to check our bodies.
After various experiments, when he was 99 years old, he tried for the first time to take a life-extending medicine mainly made of our blood. In the same year, on the bright side, the wealthy Karasuma Renye died. "
"It's such a vampire." Hui Yuanai whispered: "Using human blood as medicine? No wonder, when I first came into contact with the APTX4869 drug information, I always felt something strange. It turned out that the first experimental sample was human blood. "
Conan nodded: "What happened afterward was obvious. Renye Karasuma, who has tasted the sweetness, has been unable to get rid of the human blood medicine since then. While establishing an organization to let people study the medicine that will make him completely return to youth, he is taking the human blood medicine. Hang your life.
The human body's hematopoietic function is not weak, and with enough nutrition, the blood of four people can circulate enough to supply Karasuma Renye's needs, so in the beginning, the seven children who also did not want Karasuma Renye to die were willing to give.
Among them, Belmode, who is most suitable for the efficacy of Pandora, and Rumi Wakasa and Toliso, who have more superior personal talents, were sent out by him, and each became an important cadre of the organization.
The other four stayed with Renye Karasuma for a long time, taking care of him and providing him with blood. "
Speaking of this, Conan looked at Hui Yuanai hesitantly, and said: "This situation has lasted for more than 20 years, because the body has gradually developed drug resistance, and the four people are not enough. Renye Karasuma is going to recall Toliso, And at this moment, a sudden change occurred."
Hui Yuanai had some guesses and was slightly dazed.
"My father and mother?"
"Yes. At that time, it was your parents who were forced to join the organization who were researching drugs for the organization to rejuvenate people. They noticed the secret of Renye Karasuma and felt that such a thing and such a person should not exist. Secretly changed the composition of the human blood medicine shipped to Renye Karasuma, and called that batch of medicine 'Silver Bullet'!
This, almost killed Renye Karasuma. "
Hui Yuan Ai: "So... the fire that caused the death of father and mother happened later?"
"Ah." Conan sighed, "Rumi Wakasa doesn't know exactly how Karasuma Renya survived, she only knows that Karasuma Renya gathered around him for a long time to supply blood for him in order to survive that time. Brothers and sisters, three died.
The remaining one also became a lunatic.
Karasuma Renye herself has also become strange and scary to her and Belmode! "
"No wonder...that woman Belmode has always been deeply hostile to me, even when she was in the organization." Hui Yuanai murmured softly.
"Rumi Wakasa also wanted to kill you at one point, but was stopped by Renye Karasuma."
Conan shook his head and said: "That incident was an important turning point. Renye Karasuma no longer has any pity for the bodies of her adopted children, and treats them as consumables... Although he told Wakasa Rumi and others Yes, the organization will research the medicine to bring the dead back to life, even if all seven of them die unfortunately, as long as I am still alive, I will definitely resurrect them and reunite the family!"
"The ultimate goal of the APTX4869 research is indeed to bring the dead back to life." Hui Yuan said sadly.
Conan nodded: "After that time, Renye Karasuma had someone bring back Toliso, but he didn't recall Rumi Wakasa who was Rum's stand-in, nor did he recall Belmode who had already become the Witch with Thousand Faces. Two people come to give blood.
Naturally, the physical conditions of the two were getting worse day by day. The adopted son who had gone mad had died eight years ago, and a year ago, Rumi Wakasa had been allowed by Renye Karasuma to take a vacation.
This means that Tolisso's life is coming to an end, the next one will be her, and the last one will be Belmode.
The anti-aging effect of Pandora is particularly evident in Belmode, so Renye Karasuma attaches great importance to Belmode. Even if Belmod was brought back to the United States, Karasuma Renye did not give up on rescuing her, and from the undercover FBI Knowing the truth about Belmod's capture, he also deeply hated Ji Xingqixin who captured Belmod. "
"So that's how it is." Hui Yuanai said: "Wakasa Rumi...did I tell you this because I was afraid of death?"
"Well, she said that she has been living in contradictions all these years. She is grateful for Renye Karasuma's kindness in nurturing her and the warm childhood she gave her, but she doesn't want to be Renye Karasuma's "blood food"."
"However..." Conan's eyes flashed under the glasses: "Perhaps, after the organization has fallen to this point, Renye Karasuma hasn't called her back to her side yet, and she wants her to explain everything.
It was Ji Xing Qixin who caused the organization to collapse, but now, Karasuma Renye's only slight chance of survival is probably only Ji Xing Qixin. "
Hui Yuanai was startled, and nodded in understanding.
"Ji Xing Qixin has gone?"
"Probably coming soon."
"Then... all of this is finally coming to an end..." Hui Yuanai murmured softly.
