Chapter 96 - Chapter 96: Escape (2 more)

"He's drifting around the corner so fast! I can't keep up!" Akemi, driving the red Mazda, watched as the black sedan drifted away with a stylish flourish.

She could only watch helplessly as the distance between them grew wider and wider.

Regarding this, Baishi Hui commented, "Who can't accelerate in a straight line? Being fast on a curve is what really matters! Forget it, don't chase him."

"I understand, I'll practice my driving skills diligently from now on!" Akemi gave up on pursuing the other party, slowing down to turn around while secretly resolving to improve her driving skills.

On the way back, Miyano Shiho said with a somewhat complex expression, "Is this how you solve problems?"

"What's the problem?" Baishi Hui threw the four-barreled rocket launcher out the window.

"You just threw it away?" Miyano Shiho's eyes widened as she involuntarily looked at the discarded weapon.

"It's too big, it's inconvenient to take into the city, so I had to throw it away." Baishi Hui found a somewhat acceptable reason.

"...I have a question." Miyano Shiho couldn't hold back any longer, even if it was impolite, she had to ask: "Where did you get so much ammunition?"

"I hid it all." Baishi Hui said as he closed the window.

"Where? Why didn't I see it?" Miyano Shiho said, puzzled, she didn't think there was space in the car to hide ammunition.

Hearing this question, a smile flickered across Baishi Hui's lips, and he teased, "Open your legs."

Miyano Shiho didn't listen to the other party's words, but instead moved both her feet in the same direction.

At this moment, she was surprised to find that there was still some ammunition under her feet!

"Huh? Why didn't I notice just now?" Miyano Shiho said, somewhat surprised.

Baishi Hui saw that his teasing had failed, but he wasn't annoyed. He said, "I hid it very well, you couldn't see it from that angle just now!"

"Really?" Miyano Shiho was skeptical about this, but the things were right there, and she didn't know how to refute it.

So she couldn't help but think about how the other party did it.

At this moment, Baishi Hui spoke, "Take the small road ahead."

"Okay." Although Akemi found it strange, she still followed the other party's instructions unconditionally.

After the vehicle went down the small road, the road changed from asphalt to dirt.

The vehicle's ride was no longer smooth, and it would occasionally bump when it ran over small stones.

After Baishi Hui saw the fork in the road, he said, "Stop."

"What are we doing here?" Akemi asked as she slowly stepped on the brakes, bringing the vehicle to a stop.

"Change cars." After Baishi Hui got out of the car, he turned and went into a small path.

Soon after, he drove out in a black maybach.

"Huh? You already had a car prepared here in advance?" Akemi got out of the car, saying with great surprise.

As Miyano Shiho got out of the car, she couldn't help but marvel at the other party's "prudence" in her heart.

She originally thought the other party was reckless, but unexpectedly, he was so thoughtful!

After Baishi Hui parked the car and got out, he casually threw a time bomb into the red Mazda. Then he waved to Miyano Shiho, signaling her to come to him.

"Something wrong?" Miyano Shiho frowned, but still walked forward.

Then she suddenly found that the other party actually reached out and pinched her cheek.

She was stunned at the time... The other party was actually teasing her at this moment?

Not only Miyano Shiho, but even Akemi was startled and said, "Excuse me... This... Why is this?"

"Checking." Baishi Hui pinched her cheek with a righteous air, saying, "To see if you're being impersonated... I just feel like this is going too smoothly!"

Akemi understood and explained to her sister, "When we were trading with Gin and Vodka before, someone was impersonating them."

"So that's it. But... Is this called smooth?" Miyano Shiho felt that her understanding of "smooth" seemed to be different from the other party's.

She accepted the other party's cautiousness and ruled out the possibility that the other party simply wanted to pinch her cheek.

"Hmm, looks like it's really you." Baishi Hui was satisfied and withdrew his hand after he felt he had pinched enough.

He pointed to the trunk and said, "You two hide inside, I'll drive back now."

Neither of the Miyano sisters had any objections to this; it was safest for them not to show their faces.

Fortunately, the maybach's trunk was large enough, and they didn't feel crowded after lying down.

After Baishi Hui got into the car, he took off the azu mask and changed his clothes. Then he started the vehicle and returned to the main road.

He pressed the button and detonated the red Mazda.

There was a loud boom!

The red Mazda sports car, worth a million in the system, was blown into scrap metal.

In the trunk, Miyano Shiho, seeing that she was idle anyway, quietly inquired about the situation, saying, "Akemi, how did you get to know Azu-sensei?"

Akemi didn't hide anything and said, "I was also lucky enough to be chosen by him..."

So, she told Miyano Shiho how they met and collaborated.

After learning the ins and outs of the matter, Miyano Shiho let out a long sigh of relief.

The other party was not the kind of cold-blooded executioner who killed without batting an eye, but had his own moral bottom line and would not harm ordinary people.

Just this point alone put Miyano Shiho's mind at ease.

She grew up in the Organization and had seen ruthless and cruel individuals.

Killing is not difficult, as long as you overcome the moral and physiological discomfort.

But controlling yourself not to kill indiscriminately is not easy.

Miyano Shiho had already thought about it: if the other party was no different from the people in the Organization, she would find a way to take Akemi away.

Otherwise, she would just be falling from one pit into another!

After learning that the other party had principles and a bottom line, she felt much more at ease.

————————————

Inside the villa, in a study room.

Rum sat in front of a screen, his face fluctuating between light and dark.

He didn't expect the other party to turn hostile so quickly; they were just talking and laughing a moment ago, and suddenly they attacked!

Fortunately, he had always been cautious and would not easily come into contact with dangerous people.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been his double whose head was blown off, but himself.

"It's a pity, it's rare to find such a suitable double." Rum said with a slight regret.

At this time, the walkie-talkie next to him rang: "Boss, this is bad... The two helicopters we sent for support have been shot down!"

"Where did he get the ammunition?" Rum frowned deeply, completely unable to figure it out.

While the other party was inside the villa, he had already had people check the car inside and out, and no guns or ammunition were found in the car.

After confirming that he wasn't carrying any guns or ammunition, he subconsciously thought that the other party had the intention of negotiating, so he installed a tracker in the car.

If he had known this guy dared to make a move, Rum would have simply had someone install a bomb.

Just blow this bastard to death!

After Rum calmed himself down a bit, he finally understood the situation Gin was facing.

Fierce!

That guy was just too fierce.

Ordinary weapons were useless against him!

Without bringing out equivalent weapons, it was impossible to defeat the other party.

While thinking, Rum noticed that the red dot on the screen suddenly left the main road, drove on a small road for a while, and then stopped.

As a master of counter-tracking, Rum knew that the other party had most likely changed cars there!

Sure enough, the red dot quickly disappeared.

Rum knew his judgment was correct and that he could no longer continue to track the other party.

He picked up his phone, hesitated for a moment, and then put it down again.

Rum had planned to arrange some police officers for a temporary inspection at the entrance of that road.

But he thought about it and temporarily gave up.

There were many roads leading into Tokyo, and he couldn't send people to check every single one.

Since the other party changed cars in advance, it meant that they were prepared.

Not to mention changing cars, Transfiguration was also possible.

The other party might even not enter Tokyo at all and go directly back to their hiding place outside the suburbs.

Acting rashly like this would easily alert the enemy and make the other party realize that he had people in the Metropolitan Police Department's traffic system.

Thinking of this, Rum had to give up the idea of tracking.

The most pressing matter now was how to explain to the boss.

Also, Sherry had escaped, and he had to find a replacement to be responsible for the development of the A-drug.

Thinking of this, Rum got up and left the study, saying to the bodyguard at the door, "Clean this up, don't leave any trace."

The bodyguard respectfully said, "I understand, boss."

Click.

The trunk opened, and Baishi Hui had put on the azu mask again. He looked at the beautiful Miyano sisters who were squeezed together with their legs bent, and said, "We're here, get out."

"Okay." Akemi got up and came out of the trunk.

When it was Miyano Shiho's turn, she suddenly pressed her calf and showed a painful expression, saying, "Ah... Cramp!"

Seeing this, Baishi Hui picked her up.

Akemi went up to help with a smile, slowly stretching the cramped muscle, and said, "Shiho, it seems you need to exercise more..."

"I... I know." Miyano Shiho said somewhat awkwardly.

After a few stretches, she felt better and was about to speak when the other party put her down.

"Thank you." Miyano Akemi said politely.

"You're welcome." Baishi Hui said, waving his hand to signal the two to follow him.

Miyano Shiho followed along, looking around, and found herself in a private garage.

Coming out of the garage, there was a spacious living room.

Baishi Hui walked and introduced, "This is my safe house. The supplies inside are enough for you to live here for a month without going out."

"There is a monitoring room here. If someone breaks in, the alarm will automatically sound."

"There is also a makeup room here. Akemi, you should learn Transfiguration as soon as possible. Once you can change your appearance, you won't have to worry about going out."

"..."

Transfiguration is not difficult to learn. Many movie special effects personnel can create fake faces that are indistinguishable from real ones, and the CIA has long mastered this skill.

The reason Vermouth is called the Thousand-Faced Witch is not because her Transfiguration technique is so amazing, but because she can imitate the target person vividly.

She can thoroughly imitate everything from personality, way of speaking, to habits.

Only by mastering Transfiguration, voice changing, and acting can one become the Thousand-Faced Witch.

Although Yukiko is also proficient in Transfiguration, she is not good at voice changing.

Her acting skills, having retired from the screen, have also declined significantly.

The purpose of learning Transfiguration is different for the two, resulting in different effects.

Yukiko simply learned it for acting; if she made a mistake, she could just reshoot.

But Vermouth learned it for assassination and intelligence gathering. One mistake in such matters could cost her her life.

Therefore, even though they were taught by the same master, the effort they put in was different due to their different purposes, leading to vastly different results.

"Okay, I understand! I will learn Transfiguration as soon as possible." Akemi nodded and promised.

"Then I won't disturb you sisters' reunion. Goodbye." Baishi Hui was not long-winded and left through the back door after waving goodbye.

"Shiho, let's go! Let's see the new house!" Akemi happily pulled Miyano Shiho's hand and started wandering around the room excitedly like a child.

Miyano Shiho also let Akemi pull her along. After walking around, she realized that this so-called safe house was a large villa.
