Eh?
This might be one way to go.
But then Lin Che thought of the mysterious and unpredictable Kogoro Mouri.
"Let's not cause trouble for ourselves for now. Xiaolan is such a good girl, there's no need to make things difficult for her for the time being."
Lin Che drove home with a mix of thoughts in his mind.
Curaçao is not here this time; he is probably wrapping up an arms deal.
Lin Che had complete faith in her abilities, so he simply went to bed.
The next day.
When he woke up, Lissell had already sent an email praising him for being as efficient and decisive as ever.
For Lin Che, who is at level 22, 5 experience points are not enough, but two million US dollars can make up for it.
He changed his clothes and knocked on the door next door. When no one answered, he opened the door and went in.
Curaçao lay on the bed sleeping in a very well-behaved position, with the blankets neatly arranged.
This task seemed quite easy for her; she even took a shower before bed and looked to be in excellent condition.
After a period of recuperation, the marks on both of her wrists have almost healed.
Lin Che sat on the edge of the bed, carefully examining her.
Of the two women he had already been intimate with, he preferred Curaçao.
At least he would prefer to live with Curaçao long-term, which would be absolutely unacceptable with Lisál.
As she watched, Curaçao suddenly opened her eyes slowly, a brief look of confusion flashing in her heterochromatic pupils, followed by a gentle smile.
"You're awake. I'm sorry I got back late yesterday. I'll get up now and prepare breakfast for you."
Lin Che gently pressed Curaçao's upper body, which had just slipped off the mattress, back onto the bed, then lay down beside her. "It's okay, I want to sleep a little longer. Stay with me."
“…Mmm!” Curacao suppressed her shyness and lay down to hug Lin Che.
The two did nothing extra; they just rested together.
After a while, Curaçao suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Oh right, I've hidden the rest of the weapons. Can I take you to see them this afternoon?"
Lin Che ruffled Curaçao's hair. "You've worked hard this time. Is there anything you want? I'll give it to you."
Curaçao pondered for a moment, then buried her face back in her arms. "I can't think of anything I want."
She has already gotten everything she wanted, including Lin Che.
Lin Che suddenly asked, "You don't want your original memories either?"
Memories from the past?
Curaçao paused, then stammered, "I don't want to regain my memories anymore. I just want my current life to continue indefinitely."
[Dyeing successful!]
[Rewards: 5 experience points, Curaçao's loyalty +100, favorability +100, skill: Brainwashing (lv1).]
Lin Che's eyes widened.
How did the staining suddenly become successful?
Is it because Curaçao has abandoned the past and is very satisfied with the present situation?
Affection level is capped at 100 points; no matter how much you increase it, it will always be capped at 100.
But these 100 points of loyalty unlock a completely new panel.
There aren't many people who are loyal to Lin Che.
Curaçao 100 points.
Lisael has 20 points.
Ai Haibara: 95 points.
Koizumi Akako: 80 points.
It's perfectly reasonable for Lisael to have low loyalty, because she's not the kind of person who's willing to be subservient to others; her relationship with Lin Che is just that of business partners and running buddies.
If Lin Che upsets her, or fails to satisfy her desires, she will naturally find someone else.
But Lin Che didn't expect that Ai Haibara and Akako Koizumi would be so loyal to him.
Ai Haibara, in particular, is almost at max level.
Let's take a look at the new skills.
[Brainwashing (lv1): Long-term use of this skill on a target can slowly increase their loyalty (efficiency varies with skill level and target resistance)]
Great skill!
Lin Che's consciousness returned to reality, and he stared into Curaçao's eyes, saying calmly, "If I could help you regain your memories, would you be willing to try?"
Chapter 149 Unmasking Rum and Binga
Curaçao's expression became somewhat complicated upon hearing this.
She didn't want to regain her past memories, but she did always have this matter on her mind.
"What if I turn against you after regaining my memories? What if I hurt you, the Doctor, or Ai?"
"You won't." Lin Che gently touched her lips. "I believe you."
Curaçao remained silent.
She was somewhat conflicted and hesitant.
But the warmth that enveloped her ultimately led her to make a decision.
Even if she still didn't want to regain her memories, she would do it since Lin Che wanted her to.
“Okay.” Curaçao nodded, staring into Lin Che’s eyes. “I’m willing to do anything for you.”
Lin Che was about to get up when Curaçao pulled him back down.
She pouted and said, "Before I regain my memories, I think..."
Lin Che laughed.
This is making it seem like we're about to unleash our final shot.
Come then!
The morning flew by.
Once again, and then again, how many more times will come?
It's really outrageous that the woman doesn't have a CD.
Lin Che was genuinely curious about what the woman's experience was like during the process, and how she could keep wanting it.
Curaçao went to take a bath.
After dawdling for a while, he finally followed Lin Che to the study.
"here?"
Curaçao was puzzled, but then it dawned on him.
She lost her memory here, so it seems reasonable for her to come here now to try and regain it.
Lin Che pointed to the stained glass in the dome, "Try staring at that. If it doesn't work the first time, try a few more times. I'm not 100% sure you can regain your memories through this."
Curaçao looked up and asked, "What's the principle behind this? What does my amnesia have to do with this?"
Lin Che nodded. "The organization brainwashed you in a special way; color is the key."
"At first, I imprisoned you here, and after one night you lost your memory."
Curaçao couldn't help but think back to her "first meeting" with Lin Che.
So when can we have a re-release?
That feeling was really exciting, being tied up and unable to resist, and then...
Lin Che suddenly raised his hand and tapped her head, "What are you thinking about? You've drained me all morning and you're still not satisfied?"
Curaçao smiled shyly and didn't dare to reply, while also staring intently at the dome.
She stared at it, lost in thought.
It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly.
Sunlight shines through the stained glass, creating a dazzling display of colors.
The light was not dazzling.
Lin Che also took a look, but after a couple of glances he lost interest and simply went to the side to wait quietly.
Curaçao was bathed in various colors of light, like a nun in devout prayer.
The matter was not complicated.
Before long, she entered a state of deep concentration, her consciousness sinking into a dark, chaotic space. When she looked up, she saw several "card walls" of different colors standing in front of her.
And then Rum's terrifying, processed sound appeared, 360 degrees surround, as if it were everywhere.
"You can be any color of Curaçao, but right now you are pure black, representing the organization, you..."
A series of directives followed.
Curaçao initially had some headaches, but the pain quickly subsided, and her emotions stabilized as well.
"I no longer represent the organization's black side."
She stared at the wall of cards and muttered to herself, her ears automatically blocking out Rum's voice, her mind filled with Lin Che's image instead.
At the same time, various memories related to the organization also came flooding back.
For Curaçao, it took a long time to retrieve her original memories.
But for Lin Che, it actually took less than two minutes.
"Is this good?"
Lin Che saw Curaçao turn around and look at him, asking with a hint of expectation.
Curaçao's expression was cold, just as it had been when they first met at the logging camp.
But the next second, he reverted to the look that Lin Che was familiar with.
She walked back to Lin Che and bowed slightly. "I've regained my memories. I did overestimate the impact these memories had on me."
That's the power of 100 points of loyalty.
Lin Che walked behind the desk and sat down. "Then tell me about the organization. Tell me everything you know."
Curaçao suddenly asked, "Do you want me to regain my memories just to gather information?"
This is just a superficial problem.
What she really wanted to ask was: Are you treating me like this just for the sake of intelligence?
This is very important to her, even if Lin Che is willing to just lie to her verbally.
As Curaçao regains her memories, she also rediscovers a richer way of thinking and a calmer version of herself.
The refreshed mental state allowed her to temporarily break free from mindless attachment and trust, which led to the questions she is raising now.
However, the answer to the question did not actually affect her attitude towards Lin Che.
She just wanted to ask, she wanted an answer.
That's it.
Lin Che quickly understood Curaçao's unspoken message and chuckled, "Wasn't this made very clear from the beginning?"
"I had ulterior motives for keeping you by my side from the beginning, otherwise why would I be nice to you for no reason?"
He got up again and walked up to Curaçao. "But people change, you and I are no exception."
This was an answer that would satisfy Curaçao.
