Chapter 264

At the door of the room, Mouri Ran shook Akaso Kaze's hand, acting a bit spoiled.

Akaso Kaze smiled and stroked her small horn.

"Be good, listen to me; it's raining outside, and your cold just got better, you can't catch a chill again."

"And it's too late now; there's a serial killer around here, anyway, we're staying here for a few days, so how about we go out together tomorrow?"

Mouri Ran nodded obediently and went back to bathe and sleep.

Akaso Kaze returned to his room and focused his attention on the other side.

"Are you ready, Bourbon?"

On the roof, a rough, low, and hoarse voice sounded slowly.

A man with long silver hair wearing a tan jacket lay on the roof railing, holding a mobile phone in his hand.

Although it was also silver hair, it was definitely not Gin.

That silver color looked like it was dyed, and there wasn't much hair, tied loosely in a ponytail at the back of his head.

This appearance was exactly that of the terrifying Silver-Haired Serial Killer; of course, it was Vermouth in disguise.

"Preparation complete."

Bourbon's voice on the other end of the phone was deep, "Be careful yourself, Vermouth. There are too many houses there; I don't think I can help much."

Vermouth sneered at the phone, still using her disguised voice: "Have a little more confidence in me; this rain is very timely, most suitable for destroying the evidence..."

Vermouth, known in the organization as the Thousand-Faced Witch, but except for core members, basically no one knew her true appearance.

The origin of this title was her superb disguise technique.

Bourbon was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone and suddenly said: "I saw that man; he got off the car on the west side of the street and is heading toward you."

Vermouth, disguised as the serial killer, curled her lips slightly and immediately said: "Then, let's contact after it's over."

Hanging up the phone, Vermouth stuffed the phone into the inner pocket of her jacket.

"Black long hair, knit cap, is this person Akai Shuichi Akai?"

Vermouth watched from the railing for a while and saw the target approaching.

She had only seen this man in photos; this was her first time seeing him in reality.

"So this is the person who fooled Gin? That's really interesting," Vermouth curled her lips.

In her cognition, Gin was ruthless toward traitors.

Every time he discovered a traitor, Gin was almost the first to rush up and shoot them; it was rare for him to miss.

Vermouth didn't realize the seriousness of the problem yet.

She was observing from upstairs, just wanting to see Akai Shuichi Akai's language and movement habits first, and find some targeted measures.

She remembered that Akai Shuichi Akai was left-handed.

Just as Vermouth was squinting her eyes to observe carefully, Akai Shuichi Akai suddenly looked up toward her side without warning!

Vermouth was startled and quickly pulled her body back.

"What powerful perception!"

She was at least a hundred meters away from the other party; how could he have discovered her just by looking a few times?

Gin wouldn't be much better than this.

Pitter-patter.

The rain curtain had a tendency to get heavier.

Vermouth frowned slightly and slipped into the interior of the abandoned building.

It was a pity; she had originally planned to launch a sneak attack.

Now that the other party had noticed her, she could only compete in patience.

Stairwell combat was a good choice.

Fortunately, she still had a certain advantage.

She knew all the information about Akai Shuichi Akai, but Akai Shuichi Akai didn't know her identity.

Tick, tock, tick, tock.

The sound of dripping rain entered Vermouth's ears.

Her cold eyes slowly opened in the darkness.

"It took five minutes to walk over; is he so sure I can't run away?"

This man Akai Shuichi Akai was too conceited.

Vermouth felt a kind of contempt from Akai Shuichi Akai's actions.

Tap, tap, tap...

The sound of footsteps coming upstairs got closer and closer.

Vermouth leaned against the wall, holding her breath.

Three floors left, two floors, one floor...

Boom!

A clap of thunder suddenly rang out in the sky outside.

Vermouth only heard the footsteps pause, then continue walking up at the same pace.

Very close.

Only five steps left!

A hint of an evil smile appeared on her disguised face.

Akai Shuichi Akai, you stay here forever!

Vermouth had even planned to replace Akai Shuichi Akai.

"Go to hell!"

When the footsteps reached the same platform as her, Vermouth shouted in her disguised, hoarse voice.

She suddenly revealed her ferocious, disguised face from behind the wall and aimed at the stairwell.

Just like a real serial killer.

However, the stairwell was pitch black, and there was no figure that should have been standing in the hallway.

Vermouth froze for 0. seconds while holding the gun, immediately reacted, lowered the muzzle, and fired at the ground.

But another handgun pulled the trigger a step earlier, and a scorching bullet pierced directly through Vermouth's lower abdomen.

Vermouth's body shook, her wrist trembled, and the bullet deviated from its direction.

A black shadow leaped up from the ground, and a flash of lightning illuminated his appearance.

Akai Shuichi Akai.

"Alright, I think you have nowhere to run now."

Akai Shuichi Akai aimed his silenced handgun at Vermouth's head.

"Why don't you chat with me about what relationship you have with those black-clad guys?"

"Hmph!"

Vermouth let out a cold snort using her disguised voice, suddenly flashed behind the wall to dodge the next bullet, and fired back at the same time.

Then she didn't hesitate to dive into the complex hallway.

A few minutes later, Vermouth's footsteps inevitably slowed down.

Her strength was not inferior to Akai Shuichi Akai's.

But taking a bullet made her lose the initiative, and her movements were no longer as agile as before.

Vermouth found that no matter which corner she turned into, Akai Shuichi Akai could follow closely behind and fire at her position.

The hallway was pitch black, and she didn't see the man wearing night-vision goggles; how exactly was he aiming?!

"The only one who can see things clearly in the dark is Gin!"

Vermouth suddenly realized that she might have really underestimated this person.

In fact, Akai Shuichi Akai wasn't that powerful; he was just confirming her position based on his super-strong intuition and the reflection of a small mirror.

The chase lasted for nearly ten minutes in the hallway.

Vermouth began to have symptoms of dizziness due to blood loss from the gunshot wound to her abdomen.

"No, I can't drag this out any longer."

Vermouth gritted her teeth and set her sights on the window of the building opposite.
