"You ......," Gin looked at Belmode, a little bewildered. Do you say you ......?"

Belmode just nodded.

"You...... How much longer? Gin finally asked. Also, doctor, how much time do I have? ”

Belmode did not answer directly, but looked in the direction of Kazuo Ota.

"Based on the available information, it will be about one year or so, after which you will need to stay in the hospital." Kazuo Ota paused for a moment before replying.

"Then I may have more time than you," Belmode later gave his own answer. "Hmm...... It should be more in comparison. ”

"Oh yes," Kazuo Ota said again. "We might have another option, maybe you'd be more inclined to that."

……

Gin opted for a more drastic approach to the treatment of the drug, which would keep him in full bloom for a longer period of time, but also shorten the rest of his life, and he should have had noticeable symptoms a year later (1994) around mid-September, but until then, he would still be the one who was able to make the most of every ounce of his energy.

And after he was treated with banned drugs, everything changed about him, he was more cold in the world, and his fighting methods were more brutal, transforming himself from an ordinary sociopathic cold-blooded murderer into a tireless bloody machine.

He even chose to break up with Belmode and completely suppress his human side. After that, he was left with only one goal at one point - to defeat Shuichi Akai and prove that he was stronger than him.

But in February, he met Shirley.

……

"Can you help me?" Gin turned around and looked at Shiho Miyano with a gloomy face. "What do you mean by that?"

"Literally, I might be able to develop a medicine that will help you with your ailment," Shiho Miyano put his hands in his white coat with a faint smile. "I also have a very good drug here, but due to the lack of experimental materials, it is difficult to find volunteers for late-stage clinical trials."

"If you don't have enough experiments, you should go to a higher department—" Gin subconsciously made such a suggestion, but quickly reacted. "Wait a minute, your medicine won't be ......"

"Yes, highly lethal drugs, the selling point is that it is almost impossible to find traces of the drug from toxicological tests." Shiho Miyano nodded. "Would you like us to go and see the last batch of experiments?"

"You said you could help me, and now you mentioned to me that you have trouble finding experiments, you don't want me to do just to help you find someone, right?" Gin didn't refuse, but asked. "This kind of thing is not what I'm good at, you should go to those smugglers, there are a lot of goods there."

"I don't need to provide a batch of experimental samples, and I've done the results many times on mice. If you need a sample size for the human body, it's basically enough for you to try it out for me while you're doing things - you probably wouldn't mind having more subtle tools, but in that sense, it's more like taking what you need? Shiho Miyano glanced at him. Let me explain in advance that the research progress on our side is very unstable, so it may not be able to help you, but if it can really help you, you will make a lot of money. So from that point of view, it's a good thing for you and me, and maybe you'll be able to shake the unexpected jackpot. ”

"No problem," Gin nodded after a moment of thought. "But I want you to tell me about the progress of drug development at a reasonable frequency – otherwise I find it hard to believe that you would specifically develop this drug for orphan diseases."

"I don't mind telling you that I haven't developed a direct cure for your disease, but I have a drug in development that may help you avoid the dangers of the disease." Shiho Miyano is not taboo either. "But you should also know that drug research is not that simple, so I hope you can be patient."

……

A few days ago.

"Your plan is to make me smaller?" Gin looked at the research report that Kaede Hoshino gave him, and said this - this report is from the Gregorian research group (that is, the experimental group of Belmode mentioned in Chapter 409) "The way is...... Let me take that medicine? The kind of APTX-4869 that poisoned a large number of people? ”

"Hmm," Kaede Hoshino probably expected Gin's reaction. "But...... The stakes aren't as great either—thanks to the new computer, we've dismantled some of the genes that are resistant to APTX-4869's active ingredient. According to our test results, while your genes are not as good as those of Icewine and Shirley, at least there is no problem at the step of becoming a child. According to our examination of the physical condition of the two of them, although the principle is unknown, after taking the drug, although the organic defects that occurred during the growth period have not recovered, the organic hyperplasia and cell aging will regress greatly or even regress, that is to say, the cancerous changes in your body should also regress to the appearance of a few decades ago, when you were only a few years old, that is, basically completely healthy. (For example, Qianyu and Gray Yuanai, who have become smaller after taking medicine, have a full set of permanent teeth in their mouths, and a scar on Da Qianyu's hand has faded, but the missing part of one of the permanent teeth is only reduced in equal proportions.) ）

"So, when will it start?" Gin nodded. "Is the success rate high?"

"It's not very high, but the key question is, do you have any other options?" Hoshino Kaede asked rhetorically.

"Hmm......" Gin nodded thoughtfully. In that case, postpone the project for a moment, and I'll need to get through this mission first—let me ask first, can a scar without an organic defect heal? For example, large scars and the like. ”

"Yes, yes, but why, you ask?" Kaede Hoshino frowned.

"Shuichi Akai is still here, do you think he won't come if they were going to launch a general attack? Have a break with him here, even if I suffer any serious injuries, it shouldn't affect the success rate of that drug, if it succeeds, I can still recover all the damage on my body, what is there to worry about? ”

……

Shuichi Akai covered his heart and slowly fell to the ground, and right next to him, Gin also lay on the ground, not even having the strength to look at Shuichi Akai.

[It won't be a big problem, right?] Gin suddenly felt a little worried about this problem. [Although it is said that many injuries can be recovered, in case they can't solve the other invaders...... It's not going to die right here, is it? 】

At this moment, the voice that reassured him came.

"Gin, you're—" Cohen's voice rang out. "I found him, he's here! And Shuichi Akai! ”

Immediately after, gunshots rang out.

And with this gunshot came the end of tonight's battle.

It is also the end of everything.
