Zhou Lin - Chapter 206 Pulp Fiction (Part 2)

December 3, 2219, Sakura no Mansion, Ise.

After coming out of Ise Station, Axiu and Yan Wushang stopped a taxi and headed south.

Many years ago, Sakura Mansion’s service industry was world-famous, but now, it is only average.

Take the taxi that Axiu and Yan Wushang took for example. It had neither a clean and tidy interior nor a well-groomed driver. Instead, it only had an ordinary car condition and an ordinary service attitude.

What’s even more outrageous is that as soon as the car started driving, the driver chatted with the two people in the back seat and asked them if they wanted to visit Ise Jingu Shrine. If so, he knew a very cost-effective Bu0026B. You can take them there directly and make sure they have a satisfactory stay.

Yan Wushang emphasized to him three times that they didn’t want to stay in a Bu0026B or visit any scenic spots, so the driver shut up in displeasure.

By the way, let’s prepare our guns now. About ten minutes after the car drove, Axiu suddenly said this, and as he spoke, he opened the handbag he was carrying. A pistol was taken out from inside.

Generally speaking, it is impossible to bring things like firearms on the Shinkansen, but because Axiu is there, he can change the perception of the staff who checked the scanning equipment to Firearms are not prohibited when passing through the security check. product,” so they put the gun in their bag and took it to the car.

Oh…you mean the prop gun for tomorrow’s rehearsal, right? Yan Wushang’s reaction was also very quick. He deliberately raised his voice slightly and said this to the driver in front of him. At the same time, he bumped it with his elbow. He touched Axiu’s arm and winked at him.

Ha… Axiu smiled, Don’t worry, before I said that sentence, I had already modified the driver’s perception. Now, no matter what we say, he will think that we are discussing the plot of a movie.

Huh… Yan Wushang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and continued, Speaking of which, your ability is really useful. If you become a Cowherd, you will be invincible.

Hahaha… Axiu laughed even louder, I have indeed heard similar suggestions more than once.

It shows that this is correct. Yan Wushang said, Also… I thought about it out of boredom when I was on the train. If you directly use your ability on our target this time, such as ‘holding your breath means breathing’, If this concept is implanted in her, wouldn’t she commit suicide immediately? In that case, we don’t need any weapons at all. As long as we find a way to get her into your range, we can complete a perfect assassination.

Hmph…it’s not that easy. Axiu handed the gun to Yan Wushang, then took out a photo from his bag and stretched it out in front of Yan Wushang, You see her Are those two men around you?

The photo in his hand was not very clear. It looked like a small piece taken from a certain street surveillance picture.

In the photo, there are three people, a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old wearing a dress, and two adult men in suits and leather shoes, with sunglasses covering their faces. That little girl is their target this time – Prince Morimiya Masako; and those two men are both Masako’s bodyguards.

The scarred one on Masako’s left is called Sanada. He is definitely an esper, but the type and level of his abilities are both a mystery. After Axiu handed over the photo, he continued, This Sanada has been Masako’s guard since she was a child. , is a typical dead soldier, the kind who will not let his master break a finger even if he is cut into pieces… No matter whether our assassination is successful or not, there is a high probability that we will confront him. When the time comes, we will definitely It’s up to you to deal with him…

Understood. Yan Wushang looked at the photo and continued, If his ability is very difficult to deal with, I will be able to resist him. At least I won’t be killed instantly.

Axiu nodded and continued: As for the guy on Masako’s right, you may have heard of him, his name is Solid Wilson, nicknamed ‘Old Soldier’; he captured Sakura Mansion and Masako in the ‘Sixth Empire’ After becoming the governor here, Solid was sent by the Anti-Cross to Masako’s side and became her second personal guard… He paused and then said in a deep voice, This guy is even better than Sanada. Tricky; take the plan you just mentioned as an example. Even if I really succeed in modifying Masako’s cognition so that she can no longer breathe on her own, Solid can still save her…because of Solid’s ability ‘Mortal Bones’ , is one of the few abilities that can nullify my abilities. Of course, the premise is that Solid must first deduce that Masako’s condition is caused by ‘cognitive correction’ and roughly understand it. logic.

But to take a step back, even if Solid cannot crack my ability immediately, with his ability, he will still make other effective responses immediately after discovering the abnormality; such as grabbing a pen nearby. Tool, remove the pen holder, insert it directly into Masako’s trachea for emergency treatment, and then call for reinforcements and medical assistance… In short, he will never let the target he is protecting die so easily.

When Yan Wushang heard this, he asked suspiciously: So…how are you going to deal with this Solid?

Simple. Ah Xiu responded, If we face Solid, I will directly use my ability on Solid and change ‘Masako is the target that needs to be protected’ to ‘Masko is the target that needs to be killed’ With this understanding, when Solid kills Masako, you are responsible for suppressing Sanada. After he said this, he also took a gun from his bag and hid it in the inner pocket of his jacket, As for me, I will keep a gun on standby to see if there is anything I need to do…such as stopping the ordinary bodyguards of the Shenwu Association.

Well… Yan Wushang is also a very considerate person. He thought for a while and then said, I still don’t understand… Masako, as the governor of Yingzhi Mansion, the leader of the Shenwu Association, and The person in charge of the Sixth Reich’s Pacific Defense Line Plan, why did she come to Ise with only a small number of subordinates as if on a patrol incognito, and was coincidentally photographed by a street surveillance camera… Isn’t this possible? Is it some kind of trap?”

No. A second later, Axiu suddenly replied something that made Yan Wushang confused, She should be here to eat oysters.

Huh? Yan Wushang really didn’t understand, so he could only respond with this word.

So, Axiu continued to explain: That’s it…according to our information, around April this year, there was a follower named Sakaki Wuhan around Masako. Originally, this was quite normal, Sakaki was nothing more than The personnel who were sent to monitor Masako in the early days of the cooperation between the Anti-Cross and the Kammukai, but… He paused for half a second and then continued, I don’t know why, but this Sakaki-kun does nothing else and only does trouble all day long. Masako traveled around the world to eat some rare and delicacies. Even after Masako became the governor of Sakura Mansion and stayed for a long time, he didn’t seem to stop, so Masako would sneak out for one or two days almost every week, just to eat… …”

Ah? What the hell is this? Yan Wushang asked again, Is your information reliable?

Absolutely reliable, because we also have people in the Shenwu Association. Axiu replied, But as you said, our undercover agents can’t figure out what the hell this is… His tone seemed a little helpless, I personally have two speculations: first, this action may be a cover-up, and they are using the appearance of looking for delicious food to cover up some secret activities contrary to the cross’s instructions; second, it may just be Sakaki-kun and Masako It’s just some kind of long-term bet about ‘eating’… After all, what may seem absurd to outsiders may be more important than anything else in the eyes of ‘real gamblers’.

Eh? Yan Wushang looked at Axiu, I heard, you seem to be quite familiar with this guy?

Ha… not bad, I had contact with him for a while during a mission. Axiu said with a smile, I originally wanted to take him under the command of Lord Juizun, but unfortunately he refused, and not long after that, he was stunned. I went to join the Reverse Cross… When he said this, there was a little regret in his expression, To be honest, even I am a little curious, what kind of magic power does the Reverse Cross have, so that it can win people over in a short time? There are so many masters that we all find difficult to deal with.”

When they were chatting here, their destination had just arrived.

The driver stopped the car in front of a hotel and asked them for the fare. Before leaving, the driver was still cursing and saying things like two people who were taken advantage of. It was obvious that he was resentful that the two people did not go to the Bu0026B he recommended and did not allow him to make extra money.

Axiu and Yan Wushang ignored him. They went to the hotel front desk to register, got their room cards, and carried their luggage upstairs.

According to the tip from the undercover, Masako’s room is in Room 7021 on the seventh floor. She lives in a room by herself, while Solid and Sanada live in 7022, and Sakaki Mugen lives in 7020, which just sandwiched her room in between.

As for the ordinary bodyguards and civilian personnel of the Shenwu Association, Masako also brought some, with the total number being about ten. However, it is not certain where the rooms of this group of people are. Anyway, they all have walkie-talkies to contact them, and they will be contacted as soon as they hear any disturbance. swarms of people.

After Axiu and Yan Wushang arrived at the room, they didn’t even enter the door. They just threw their handbags into the room and turned around to leave. They went down the fire stairs to the seventh floor (the elevator required a room card to activate, and could only go to the room). The floor where the card is located), in the corridor on the seventh floor, Axiu used her ability on a cleaning lady she met by chance, and asked the other party to hand over the universal room card. Then, they came to the door of Room 7021.

After a brief pause, the two looked at each other, then both took out the guns from their arms and held them directly in their hands.

Yan Wushang consciously took the responsibility of clearing the way. He gently opened the door with the key card.

They pushed open the door and walked quietly; both of them were experts in silent stealth, and made almost no sound during the whole process.

According to the current development of the situation, if everything goes well, they might be able to kill Masako before alerting Solid and Sanada, and then just run away.

The hotel room is not big, and there is no place to hide. You can see everything at a glance. The two quickly made sure that no one was in the bedroom and balcony, so the only place left was the bathroom.

At this moment, both of them understood that Masako must be in the bathroom; because when they came in, there was a card in the key card slot on the inside of the door, and the air conditioner and lights in the room were also on, so she must be there. inside the house.

The two of them held their breath and listened… In the bathroom, there was no sound of running water from the shower, and no one was stirring the water in the bathtub. However, if you listened carefully, you could hear the hum of the electric toilet seat heating…

To an assassin, it is usually unimportant whether the target appears decent at the moment of killing.

Although Yan Wushang and Axiu felt that it was a bit unscrupulous to kill someone while they were on the toilet, they couldn’t wait until the other person was in trouble before taking action. After all, only God knew what would happen in the meantime.

So, after exchanging glances again, the two reached a consensus with their eyes in silence.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Wushang kicked open the bathroom door.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang——

Two seconds later, Yan Wushang fired six shots at the man on the toilet, using up all the bullets in the gun in his hand.

Before the smoke was gone, Axiu also tilted his head out of the door frame and looked inside – he wanted to confirm whether Masako was dead.

As a result, he discovered that the person sitting on the toilet was not Masako, but a man. He also knew that man, it was Sakaki Wugen.

At this moment, Sakaki was crossing his hands in front of his face, curling up to protect his head, but he did not receive a single shot… Yan Wushang’s six bullets all hit the wall behind Sakaki, almost wiping them. Six bullet holes were left on the outline of Sakaki’s body.

Your shooting skills… Even Axiu couldn’t help but complain to Yan Wushang, You fired six shots from two meters away, and you actually…

boom–

Before he could finish his words, he heard a loud noise, and the wall behind him cracked open. A man with a face full of scars came from the room on the other side of the wall and rushed towards Axiu with a punch. The last thing I wanted to do was go away.
