Chapter 514 Vermouth: Then I'll Die

"Shin, what's wrong with Shinichi?"

Ran Mouri gasped, covering her mouth, and brought her pretty face even closer to the screen.

Qi Ming was the one who was injured, so why is it Shinichi who is the one who collapsed?

However, it was because Shinichi Kudo collapsed that Ran Mouri was able to see Vermouth chasing after him.

"That's... Miss Vermouth?"

Ran Mouri's eyes widened.

Could it have been Vermouth who fired the shot?

However, Ran Mouri quickly shook her head and dismissed the speculation.

But there was no blood on the ground, so there shouldn't have been any gunshot wounds...

Before Ran Mouri could think any further, Qi Ming's voice rang out.

"Well done, Alan! You successfully calmed Shinichi down. Thank you for saving us!"

"Yes, is that so?"

Hearing what Qi Ming said, Ran Mouri's worry disappeared, and she blinked her eyes in confusion.

What did she do to calm Shinichi down?

"Alright, Alan, my signal seems a bit weak, so I'll hang up now. See you later."

"Okay, sure."

While Ran Mouri was still somewhat confused about the current situation, Qi Ming said a few words and then immediately hung up the phone.

He came up to Shinichi Kudo and smacked his lips.

Today I truly witnessed what it means to be so angry that I fainted just because Ran Mouri was showing me normal concern.

"What are you looking at?"

Just as Qi Ming squatted down and started applying makeup to Shinichi Kudo's face with a marker, a faint voice came from behind him.

This is Vermouth, who was ignored by the two of them.

"What's wrong? Do you want to draw a few strokes too?"

Qi Ming, focused on his art, spoke without looking up.

He seemed to faintly hear Vermouth grinding her teeth.

"It's happening again, it's happening again..."

Vermouth clenched her fists.

"She's already fainted, and you're still worried about her! Can't you even look at me?!"

Qi Ming paused, looking at Vermouth with a strange expression.

Shinichi Kudo's jealousy stems from romantic love, so why is Vermouth starting to indulge in these things too?

"Hey Bei, can you find something else to be jealous of? Your persona is starting to crumble."

"Aren't you the Thousand-Faced Witch? Is this kind of thing, love and concern, something you should be thinking about? Can't you broaden your perspective a bit?"

Qi Ming kept rambling on about his stereotypes about Vermouth.

However, he was so engrossed in what he was doing that he didn't notice Vermouth's increasingly gloomy face.

Vermouth's body also began to tremble violently and uncontrollably, and her pupils shrank to pinpoints.

That was the ultimate humiliation and anger!

"shut up!!!"

Vermouth screamed, her voice echoing through the room.

Then, she quickly walked to Qi Ming's side, the sound of her high heels clattering.

Then, as if to vent her anger, she stomped hard on Shinichi Kudo's leg again, her high heel digging several inches into his flesh.

"Well!"

A muffled groan came from the mouth of the boy who was lying on the ground.

Then, Shinichi Kudo suddenly opened his eyes with a furrowed brow.

Qi Ming glanced down at Shinichi Kudo, who was hitting his elbows on the ground as if trying to get up, and then smacked Shinichi Kudo on the forehead.

"It's okay, go back to sleep."

Shinichi Kudo rolled his eyes and fell asleep again.

Qi Ming turned to look at Vermouth Education.

"Why are you yelling so loudly? People are sleeping, why are you waking them up?"

Vermouth stared intently at Qi Ming, her pupils as red as when Shinichi Kudo heard Ran Mouri express concern for Qi Ming.

"What do you know?! What do you know?!"

Vermouth shouted at Qi Ming, spinning on Shinichi Kudo's leg in her high heels, and pointed her submachine gun at Qi Ming with her right hand.

However, upon closer inspection, it can be seen that the submachine gun's barrel is a few centimeters off from Qi Ming's position.

In fact, she really wanted to step on Qi Ming's chest with her high heels and then press the gun to his forehead.

But when she thought about the possible consequences of doing so, the fear in her heart was subtly balanced by the jealousy amplified by the fog.

So I'll just use Shinichi Kudo to vent my anger.

As for why Shinichi Kudo dared to attack Qi Ming...

Nothing more than boundless love.

"A thousand-faced witch? What thousand-faced witch? Those are all masks! They're just tools for survival!"

Vermouth screamed hysterically at Qi Ming.

"I'm a woman too! A living, breathing woman who feels pain, hatred, and jealousy! Why can't I have desires?! Why can't I have normal emotions like a woman?!"

A few tears finally slid uncontrollably down Vermouth's cheeks, but she didn't care at all now.

"What am I to you? Just because I wear a mask, you treat me like a cold-blooded old monster?!"

After her hysterical screaming, Vermouth suddenly calmed down again.

Although her originally exquisite makeup was ruined, it didn't look ugly at all; instead, it had a kind of broken beauty.

"I understand."

Vermouth lifted her foot, finally ceasing her torment of Shinichi Kudo.

She threw away the submachine gun in her hand, walked past Qi Ming, and picked up the dagger that had fallen to the floor.

Vermouth raised her short blade, but instead of Qi Ming, she aimed it at her own neck.

"Since I have no meaning to any of you... then I might as well die here!"

"!!"

Qi Ming threw away the marker and stared at Vermouth in shock.

No, this poison is way too potent!

The Thousand-Faced Witch was drugged and turned into the Jealous Witch, and now she's so jealous that she's started to give up on herself?

"..."

The two stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity. When Vermouth saw that Qi Ming made no move, she hardened her heart and prepared to slash with her dagger.

Seeing this, Qi Ming also stood up and spread his hands helplessly.

"Alright, alright, Beibei, stop playing around. Come on, let me knock you out with a slap on the back of your neck, and this will be over."
