Chapter 721 Personality Mask Arachne
Chapter 721 Personality Mask-Arachne
"Why, why do you want to hinder me! My empire, my great cause-why, do you want to hinder me!"
Below them, on a building that was burning and collapsing in flames, Mio Tokiwa, who was covered in golden ornaments and whose makeup was full of inhuman shadows, was roaring unwillingly and fearfully, and various types of ammunition that were continuously fired were hitting the Phantom Thief crazily. On the plate where the group lives.
Coupled with the sirens reverberating in the sky and the cracks caused by the collapse of the buildings below, a symphony of death made of metal was struck in the world that only the Phantom Thieves could see.
"No, it's obvious now..." Zhu Fu Jingguang stood up and took two steps forward. The short silver hair on his head was blown randomly by the air current, "You are hindering my steps!"
"Senior-" Asai Naomi, who reached out to stop him from walking out of the bunker, just raised his hand, and his voice got stuck in his throat.
The invisible air wave formed a pale golden shield in front of Zhu Fu Jingguang, intercepting all the incoming bullets in mid-air.
With one foot on the sharp corner of the plate protruding in front, he directly raised the sniper in his hand, and with the stability of his knees, he aimed at Mio Tokiwa, who was standing on the bud-like golden throne below.
His fingertips touched the trigger, and a melancholy, thin, but slightly crazy female voice sounded in his ears.
"Mock at fate and raise a sharp knife to the gods."
Following this voice, the golden shield in front of Zhu Fu Jingguang slowly showed its true form.
It is a network woven by countless tiny threads with a subtle fiber structure.
The muzzle of his gun was continuously wrapped and wrapped by silk threads, and the golden lines seemed to wrap the gun in a golden cocoon.
"If they laugh at your arrogance..."
Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was not focused on anything else, kept his eyes tightly on the scope, and used the golden crosshair to aim at the extremely luxurious and spiked palace master below.
A silver-gray mask grew out of the threads and covered his scope.
"...Then tell Him that defeat is also the way to resist fate!"
"Call my name and embrace the entanglement of death and sacrifice!"
"I am——"
"Arachne...!"
The next second, the bullets carrying air waves pierced several holes in the threads and pierced the silver-gray ice. Like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, with azure fire, it penetrated the shadow of Mio Tokiwa's scepter. sphere.
Xingchuan Hui, who had sharp eyes and quick hands, followed the bullet without hesitation, passing through the side of the shadow at an incredible speed, and grabbed the bright golden ball in his hand.
The miniature building phantom flashed past in the ball. Hoshikawa Hui, who succeeded in the attack, let out a loud whistle, then grabbed the erratic thread hanging from above and was pulled back into the sky.
"No, no! My empire, my scepter!"
Amidst the shrill screams of the shadows, the several phantom thieves clutched the secret treasures they had obtained and immediately retreated.
The monstrous firelight and air waves disappeared in an instant, and the cold wind of the night blew on the face again, making Zhufu Jingguang, who was immersed in a certain atmosphere, return to his senses.
"Holy shit, Widowmaker..." Karasawa, who was lying on Miyano Shiho's shoulder, feeling at ease being carried away by his sister, blurted out immediately when he saw the camera footage relayed by Noah.
"What Widowmaker?" He raised his hand and touched the silver eyepiece on his face uncomfortably. Zhufu Jingguang asked Tang Ze on the other end of the headset in confusion.
"Nothing, I just mean to compliment you on how handsome you are, senior." Tangze blinked innocently, and at the same time he mentally praised Zhu Fu Jingguang's Phantom Thieves, and at the same time confirmed that there really were no traditional Phantom Thieves in their group. idea.
Zhu Fu Jingguang's eyes were wrapped by a pair of silver-gray eyepieces with a very technological sense. The golden lenses outlined the outline of the eyes. The black tights and the cross belt made of bullet belts were very superhero-like. In line with his positioning as a sniper, two chains with hooks hang from the equipment around his waist to his knees. This is a flexible prop that is very suitable for a sniper, and it also looks very much like a cat's tail, which perfectly matches his image.
The only fly in the ointment is that this very technological look makes Karasawa always feel that he will say something like "The tactical eyepiece is activated" or "I see you" in the next second...
"Because of his skills that shocked the gods, he challenged Minerva, and finally lost and transformed into a spider..." After witnessing the entire process of Morofuku Kageguchi's awakening, and also hearing the name shouted by the other party, Asai Shige Shi Shi thought of the half-human, half-spider mask he had seen at a glance, and shrugged, "I can't tell that you also have such a side."
"You can't be an undercover agent without the determination to challenge the gods. Challenge the impossible as a mortal, right? This is the fun of being an undercover agent." Tang Ze laughed twice and casually made another rumor for the undercover agent.
"Being an undercover agent is no fun." Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled bitterly and touched his short silver hair uncomfortably.
Due to the habitual disguise when he came, he still uses the identity of Sanada Akihiko, so his phantom thief form also maintains the silver-haired state.
It does distance myself from my own image, which is not bad...
"Okay, you can finally feel our experience yourself. Have you thought about your code name, senior?" Karasawa reminded Miyano Shiho, who was staggering away from the stairs, breathing violently, "Time." not much."
With the skills given by Mao Lilan coop, without taking the temporary antidote, Haibara Ai can briefly become Miyano Shiho for 20 minutes.
This short transformation time is usually very useless, and it is not even enough to support Miyano Shiho to check her transformed body, but at this moment, a Miyano Shiho who can appear and disappear at any time becomes crucial.
This will be a perfect target that can attract Gin's attention, and it is also convenient to restore to the original state when the goal is achieved.
Now, she has run along the stairs to the 66th floor, consuming seven or eight minutes of transformation time.
In front, the moment when she is about to step onto the communication bridge is the perfect time to show up.
"... I think it's better to keep it simple." While the aftereffects of awakening have not subsided, a faint golden light shines on Zhu Fu Jingguang's eyepiece.
Spying in the dark and lurking in the shadows is his profession, and it is also what he looks like when he dies.
Three years later, he still cannot stand in the sun, and is still destined to break away from ordinary life and walk on the forefront of the intelligence war.
This was once his shadow, and even more so his brand. It is an identity that will accompany him throughout his life and may continue until who knows when.
"Just call me Spy."
————
After confirming that there was no one in the elevator going down again, Vodka put down the high-powered telescope in his hand, walked around to the other side lightly, and raised it again, not daring to disturb Gin who was concentrating.
I don't know how the eldest brother judged it, but in short, he thought from the beginning that Shirley could not take the elevator downstairs in a dignified manner.
The original words of the eldest brother were: "The little mouse living in the dark, mixed with another group of guys in the gutter, can only learn to hide her head and show her tail, and be mysterious. She dare not show up directly."
So, when Vodka observed the escape route of tourists in the venue and gave a reference, Gin did not hesitate to change the direction of the sniper and firmly stared at the communication bridge on the 66th floor that they were about to pass.
In an emergency, the overly tall building has few options. If they don't want to move forward in this dangerous building, they must go through the communication bridge to the other side, which is relatively safe at present.
Gin checked several people on the list given by Bourbon, and was ready to wait until the last person passed through the passage and reached the bottom floor of Building B, and then he would send out the bullets in the barrel to make them shut up forever.
"It seems to be the last wave of people..." Vodka looked back and forth at the dark building through several windows, and reminded carefully.
"Be patient." Gin's muzzle was locked on the corridor leading to the communication bridge without wavering.
He saw several policemen pulling the panicked woman forward, which should be the last wave of escapees.
Bourbon, whose hair color is very conspicuous, was mixed in with them, holding a child in his arms.
While holding the child in his arms firmly on his shoulders, he kept turning his head to look at another tall man holding a child, sprinting at the front of the team.
He played the role of a detective who stayed at the end to take care of the old, weak and disabled. He did not see that he was the culprit of all the disasters.
Gin commented on Bourbon's acting skills in his heart, and then continued to wait patiently.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
He waited for the anxious profile of the last policeman to leave the window, and waited for a while until Bourbon ran to the other side of the bridge. Suddenly, a thin female figure finally appeared in the window.
Her fluffy brown hair was messily attached to her cheeks by sweat. Her face was covered with sweat. I don't know if it was because of running or fear, but she was panting heavily.
The simple sleeveless black skirt and shawl formed a simple and elegant little dress. It seemed that in order to facilitate movement, she kicked off her shoes like the women who were dragged in front of her and was running barefoot.
Gin would never make a mistake with that face and hair color.
"Shirley...!" Gin gritted his teeth and showed a cold and cruel smile, "Finally, I've been waiting for this!"
Vodka was also surprised when he saw this scene through the lens.
Shiho Miyano is in a very dangerous situation now.
Not only did she defect from the organization with so many scientific research secrets, but after she left the organization, she even mixed with the Phantom Thieves of Hearts.
The major laboratories of the organization began to suffer losses one after another soon after. Although no matter how they investigated, they could only end up as accidents or coincidences, but considering the elusive methods of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, many people still believed that Shirley caused immeasurable losses to the organization.
For her now, it is very dangerous to appear in public. When the disaster happened, she should have covered her head and face and tried to blend into the crowd to leave. It was a bit suspicious that she would be left behind inexplicably.
However, the child who seemed to have lost consciousness, lying on her shoulder, with messy clothes and hastily wrapped in cloth, seemed to explain this point.
The powerless softness and kindness will only kill oneself.
With his adrenaline rising, Gin, who had already entered the hunting state, had no energy to care about what his little brother beside him was saying about life.
He glanced at the wind direction and wind speed, adjusted the muzzle, turned on the infrared sight, and prepared to give the hiding little mouse the final blow.
The red laser point quickly approached, passing through the dim corridor, passing through the window glass, and landing on Miyano Shiho's beautiful profile.
He was not only ready to kill her, he was also ready to shoot the kid hanging his head on her shoulder.
It was easy for the sniper bullet with strong penetration to penetrate two heads. At the last moment of her life, she must have looked very beautiful when she saw the blood splashing from the child she had desperately rescued.
With this unspeakable malice, Gin's fingertips accurately touched the direction of the trigger.
However, just as he was about to knock on the sniper rifle, Shirley, who was framed in the scope, suddenly turned her head in his direction.
The girl's brown hair was dripping with sweat, and it flew lightly while swinging. The tiny, shining water droplets seemed to give her delicate face a different light effect.
On the face that had been targeted by the red dot, there was no panic, or fear and despair.
Miyano Shiho showed a provocative and complacent smile towards the red laser that was about to sentence her to death, like the god of death.
Her lips moved, and even Gin, who was not good at lip reading, immediately understood those simple syllables.
"I found you..."
No, there's a trick...!
Higher up in the building, on the helipad from the rooftop, another sniper's gun line lit up.
"Brother!" Vodka turned his head and saw the red dot that had climbed up Gin's collar, and exclaimed, "There's a sniper!"
He tilted his body without thinking and bumped into Gin.
Vodka's original intention was to knock Gin away from his standing position to avoid the incoming bullets, but Gin happened to be preparing to dodge in the direction where he was standing.
So with this collision, Gin, who could have avoided it without injury, was controlled by Vodka's recoil for two seconds.
This kind of mid-door sniping at a distance is a matter of seconds. The moment he was hit there, the bullet flew past his collar, punching two holes in the stand-up collar of his windbreaker and also scratching the edge of his neck.
"Hiss, damn..." Gin took two steps back without caring about scolding his noob brother. At the same time, he raised his head, facing the rising moon, and looked at the rooftop of the building.
On the edge of the rooftop, a man with short silver hair pointed a gun at him.
As if he saw his angry movements through the scope, the man moved his eyes away from behind the gun and showed his face with goggles provocatively.
It was a very unfamiliar face, but Gin felt an inexplicable familiarity from the smile at the corner of his lips.
Who is this... is he also from the Phantom Thieves...!
After failing to hit the target, the sniper on the opposite side suddenly picked up a small crossbow from his waist and aimed at them again.
This time, it was no longer a bullet, but a hook with a tough chain.
This guy was not going to snipe at the middle door, but was going to come directly to close combat!
Gin was angry at the other party's arrogant decision, and was about to stand up to fight this ignorant guy. Vodka, who was lying on the wall and secretly observing with a telescope, let out another strange cry.
"Brother, there is another one! A-Akai Shuichi!"
