Chapter 721 Persona-Arachne
“Why, why do you want to hinder me! My empire, my great cause-why do you want to hinder me!”
In their Below, on the building that was burning and collapsing in the fire, Mio Tokiwa, whose body was covered with golden accessories and whose makeup was full of inhuman shadows, was roaring unwillingly and fearfully. Various types of ammunition that were continuously fired were beating crazily on the place where the Phantom Thieves lived. on the plate.
Coupled with the sirens reverberating in the sky and the cracks caused by the collapse of the buildings below, a death symphony made of metal was struck in the world that only the Phantom Thieves could see.
"No, it's obviously..." 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.
Stepping on the sharp corner of the plate protruding in front of him, 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.
And 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 ridicule your arrogance..."
Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was not distracted, put his eyes tightly on the sight, and aimed the golden crosshair at the pole below. The master of the palace who is full of luxury and has spikes all over his body.
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 quick 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 hit, 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 shadow's shrill screams, several monster thieves clutched the secret treasures they had obtained and immediately retreated. Got out.
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 earphone without knowing why.
"It's nothing, I just mean to compliment you on how handsome you are, senior." Tang Ze blinked innocently, and at the same time he praised Zhu Fu Jingguang's Phantom Thief in his heart, and at the same time confirmed that their group was There’s really no idea of a traditional Phantom Thief.
Zhu Fu Jingguang’s eyes are wrapped in a pair of silver-gray eyepieces with a very technical sense. The golden lenses outline the outline of the eyes. The black tights and the cross belt made of bullet belts are very stylish. The flavor of a superhero is very consistent with his position as a sniper. Two chains with hooks hang from the equipment on his waist to his knees. This is not only a flexible prop that is very suitable for a sniper, but also very much like a cat's tail, which matches his The image fits perfectly.
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 A skill that is enough to alarm the gods, a mortal who challenged Minerva, and finally lost and turned into a spider..." After witnessing the whole process of Morofuku Kageguchi's awakening, and hearing the name called out by the other party, Asai Narumi remembered Jinghong glanced at the half-human, half-spider mask and shrugged, "I can't tell you have such a side."
"You can't be an undercover agent without the determination to challenge the gods. "Challenging impossible things 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 habit of disguising himself when he came here, he still uses the identity of Akihiko Sanada, so his phantom thief form also maintains the silver-haired state.
It does distance me from my own image, which is not bad...
"Okay, you can finally feel our experience. Have you decided on your code name, senior?" Tang Ze listened. Miyano Shiho, who staggered away from the stairs, gasped violently, reminding him, "There is not much time."
With the skills given by Maurilan coop, without taking a 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 conduct a round of inspections on his changed body. But at this moment, a person can appear at any time and at any time. The disappearance of Miyano Shiho becomes crucial.
This would be the perfect target to attract Gin's attention, and easy to return to normal when the goal is achieved.
Now, she has run down the stairs to the 66th floor, spending seven or eight minutes transforming.
Ahead, the moment you are about to step onto the Contact Bridge is the perfect time to show up.
"...I think it's better to be simpler." Before the awakening power faded, Zhu Fu Jingguang's eyepieces lit up with a faint golden light.
Peeping in the dark, lurking in the shadows, this is his profession, and this is what he looked like when he died.
Three years later, he still cannot stand in the sun. He is still destined to break away from ordinary life and be at the forefront of the intelligence war.
This was once his shadow, and it was also his brand. It was an identity that would accompany him throughout his life, and might last for an unknown period of time.
“Just call me Spy.”
————
After confirming that there was no one in the elevator going down again, Vodka put down the high-power lens in his hand and gently He 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 elder brother judged it, but in short, he thought from the beginning that it was impossible for Shirley to take the elevator and go downstairs majestically.
The eldest brother's original words were: "The little mouse living in the dark got mixed up with another group of guys in the gutter. She could only learn to hide her head and tail and play tricks on her. She didn't dare to show her face directly."
So, in Vodka After observing the escape routes of the tourists in the venue and giving them reference, Gin changed the direction of his sniper attack without hesitation, keeping his eye on the communication bridge on the 66th floor that they were about to pass. Faced with an emergency in a building that is too tall, there are not many options. If they do not want to move forward in this dangerous building, they must go through the communication bridge to the other side, which is currently relatively safe.
Gin quickly confirmed several people on the list given by Bourbon, and prepared to wait until the last person passed through the passage and arrived at the bottom of Building B, and then sent him out of the barrel. bullets to shut their noisy mouths forever.
"It seems to be the last wave of people..." Vodka reminded carefully as he observed the dark building back and forth through several windows.
"Be patient." Gin's gun was locked on the corridor leading to the communication bridge without wavering.
He saw several policemen dragging the panicked woman forward. They should be the last wave of escapees.
Bourbon, who had very conspicuous hair color, was among 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, and sprinted to the front of the team.
He vividly performed the image of a detective who enthusiastically stayed at the end to take care of the old, weak, and sick, without the slightest hint that he was the culprit of all these disasters.
Gin made a few comments about Bourbon's acting skills in his mind, and then continued to wait patiently.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Waiting until the last policeman's anxious profile left the window, he waited for a while, until Bourbon had already arrived. At the other end of the communication bridge, suddenly, a thin female figure finally appeared at the window.
The fluffy brown hair was messily attached to the sides of her cheeks with sweat. Her face was covered with sweat. She didn't know whether it was because of running or fear, but she was panting heavily.
A simple sleeveless black skirt and shawl formed an elegant little dress. It seemed that to facilitate movement, she kicked off her shoes like the first few women who were dragged away. Running barefoot.
That face, that hair color, Gin will definitely recognize him.
"Shirley...!" Gin gritted his teeth and showed a cold and cruel smile, "Finally, I've been waiting for you!"
Vodka, who saw this scene through the lens, also Surprised.
Miyano Shiho is now in a very dangerous situation.
Not only did she defect from the organization with so many scientific research secrets, but after she left the organization, she even got together with the Phantom Thieves of the Heart.
Soon after, the organization's major laboratories began to suffer losses one after another. Although no matter how they investigated, it could only end in accidents or coincidences. However, considering the elusive methods of the Phantom Thief of the Heart, many people still believed that it was Shirley. It has caused immeasurable losses to the organization.
For her now, it is very dangerous to appear in public. When a disaster occurs, she should cover her head and face and try to blend into the crowd and leave. She will be left behind inexplicably, which is somewhat suspicious. .
However, the child lying on her shoulder, with messy clothes and hastily wrapped in cloth, who seemed to have lost consciousness, seemed to explain this.
Being soft-hearted and kind without any ability will really only kill yourself.
Adrenaline was rising, and Gin, who had completely entered the hunting state, had no energy to care about how the little brother next to him was feeling about life.
He glanced at the wind direction and speed, adjusted the muzzle, and turned on the infrared sight, preparing to give the hiding mouse the final blow.
The red laser point came quickly, across the dim corridor, across the glass of the window, and landed on Miyano Shiho's beautiful profile.
Not only was he ready to kill her, he was also ready to shoot the little devil on her shoulder with his head hanging down.
It is easy for a sniper bullet with extremely strong penetrating power to penetrate two heads. At the last moment of her life, when she saw the same blood splattering on the child she had desperately rescued, her expression must have been very beautiful. .
With this unspeakable malice, Gin's fingertips accurately touched the direction of the trigger.
However, just as he was about to fire his sniper rifle, Shirley, who was framed in the scope, suddenly turned her head in his direction.
The girl's brown hair was covered with sweat, flying lightly as she swung it. The tiny, shining water droplets seemed to give a different light effect to her delicate face.
What appeared on the face that had been targeted by the red dot was not panic, fear, or despair.
Miyano Shiho smiled provocatively and proudly at the death-like red laser that was about to sentence him to death.
Her lips moved, and even Gin, who was not good at lip reading, immediately understood those few simple syllables.
"I found you..."
No, it's a scam...!
Higher up the building, on the apron from the rooftop, another sniper rifle line lit up.
"Brother!" Vodka turned his head and saw the red dot that had climbed to Gin's collar, and exclaimed, "There is a sniper!"
He didn't even think about it. Thinking of it, he tilted his body and bumped into Gin.
Vodka's original intention was to knock Gin away from where he was standing and avoid the incoming bullets, but Gin happened to be preparing to dodge in the direction where he was standing.
So in such a collision, Gin, who was able to escape without any injuries, was restrained for two seconds by the backlash of vodka.
A center-to-back sniper at this distance is a matter of seconds. The moment he was hit, the bullet grazed his collar and flew past, knocking out two of the stand-up collars of his windbreaker. The hole also scratched the edge of his neck.
"Hi, damn..." Ignoring the little brat, Gin immediately took two steps back, raised his head at the same time, and looked at the rooftop of the building against the rising moon.
On the edge of the rooftop, a man with short silver hair was holding a gun and pointing it straight at him.
As if he saw his furious movements through the scope, the man removed his eyes from behind the gun, revealing his face wearing goggles provocatively.
That was a very unfamiliar face, but Gin felt an inexplicable familiarity from the smile on his lips.
Who is this...is he also from the Phantom Thieves...!
Without succeeding in one blow, the sniper on the opposite side suddenly picked up a small crossbow from his waist and aimed at them again.
What was shot this time was no longer a bullet, but a hook that was obviously connected to a tough chain.
This is simply not to prepare for a mid-range sniper, but to come directly to fight in close combat!
Infuriated by the other party's arrogant decision, Gin was about to stand up and attack this guy who didn't know the heights of the sky. Vodka, who was lying next to him behind the wall and continued to observe with a telescope secretly, let out another strange scream.
"Brother, there is one more! A-Akai Shuichi!"
