Chapter 598: Onmyoji, you finally came after all!
Amuro Tooru crouched in front of the fire hydrant box and took a deep breath.
"Thankfully, I discovered this detonation device."
"With so many connections, the organization probably installed quite a lot of explosives."
"They might have used every bomb in Tokyo."
"As long as I dismantle the activation device, those bombs will lose their effect; I must finish before they detonate them."
Amuro Tooru held his phone in his mouth for light, then took out his tools and used tweezers to clamp a thin wire.
First step, cut this wire...
Gin paced beside the cockpit, reached his hand into the pocket of his long coat, looked at the computer screen, and took out the detonation switch.
He looked down at the Ferris wheel from the cockpit window and opened the cover of the detonation switch.
"Heh heh, let me show you some fireworks!"
Gin smiled grimly and pressed the button.
Beep.
The moment the lead wire was cut, the detonation device emitted an electronic sound, and the indicator light turned on. Amuro Tooru jumped up in surprise.
"Oh my god, it detonated after cutting just the first wire; why am I so unlucky?"
He looked at the detonation device in despair.
The LCD screen above displayed the words "Signal received, activating."
However, everything around was quiet; nothing happened.
Amuro Tooru looked dazed.
What is this thing?
Isn't it a detonation device?
How come there wasn't even a sound after activating it?
Click, click, click.
On the helicopter, Gin's smile stiffened.
He pressed the button on the detonation switch repeatedly.
But looking outside from the cockpit, there was no change to the Ferris wheel.
Because those bombs had long since been claimed by Akaso.
"Bastard!"
Gin, with his lips curled upward, threw the detonation switch onto the floor and crushed it into pieces.
From his trembling feet, one could feel the incomparable anger in his heart.
A familiar feeling of frustration welled up in his heart.
Did you intervene again? Onmyoji!
He shouted frantically: "Let them taste the rain of bullets, Korn!!"
Chianti, holding the control stick, laughed out loud upon hearing this.
"Now is not the time to be smug! Hurry up and do as I say!"
"I understand!"
Korn pressed the switch on the control handle, and the machine gun extending from the belly of the aircraft immediately spat tongues of fire; countless bullets sprayed toward the Ferris wheel.
The Ferris wheel's LED screen sparked and emitted a large amount of smoke.
A large crowd of tourists below screamed and looked up at the Ferris wheel; Officer Megure and others, who were working on crowd control nearby, also looked up in surprise.
"What happened? Did a war break out?"
Akai Shuichi, standing on top of the Ferris wheel, held his sniper rifle and looked down at the military helicopter firing wildly with its machine gun.
"It doesn't look good from above; I can't find a weak point at all."
Akai Shuichi jumped toward the narrow passage below.
The moving target immediately attracted Korn's attention, and dense bullets chased after him.
"Damn it, as soon as I move even a little, I'm targeted immediately; I can't do anything like this."
Akai Shuichi leaped and bounded along the passage; his night-vision sniper scope was even smashed.
"Their target is me! Hiding like this, I'll be dead sooner or later."
Curacao, hiding in a corner, muttered to herself.
She tore off her tight skirt and stood up.
On Vodka's infrared surveillance screen, a white figure appeared, moving and jumping at high speed.
That shadow moved toward the bottom of the Ferris wheel at a speed unexpected by ordinary people.
"This speed, and this posture... absolutely correct! It's Curacao!"
Korn aimed at the figure that looked like Curacao and began to fire wildly.
The whistling sound of bullets rang out again; Akai Shuichi, hiding behind a pillar, stood up immediately.
"The attacks are all concentrated in that one place."
Compared to the random shooting at every part of the Ferris wheel before, this time the machine gun began to concentrate its fire on one spot.
Who was being targeted?
Curacao accelerated and ran along the passage.
Behind her, bullets followed immediately, piercing countless holes in the passage.
Just then, the passage ahead suddenly collapsed.
Seeing no way forward, Curacao kicked the ground hard, leaped up, and landed on a passage several meters away.
Crack, crack, crack...
The already damaged passage broke due to Curacao's weight and fell away.
Curacao lost her footing and could only jump again.
She lost her previous speed, and the high-speed, dense bullets finally caught up to her figure.
Countless flashing trajectories rushed toward Curacao.
"Akaso-san, I'm sorry~"
Under the illumination of the bullet flashes, the girl was covered in tears.
【Ding, Curacao has developed affection for you; current affection level is 4.】
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
The dense barrage of bullets suddenly disappeared before her eyes.
A pitch-black gate stood in front of her.
Akaso Kaze walked out from behind the gate.
He used the Wind Pillar Technique to suspend himself in mid-air, caught the falling girl, and held her in his arms.
Akaso Kaze smiled and said, "What you owe me can't be settled with just an 'I'm sorry'."
"Akaso-san, run! They can destroy the Space Gate!"
Seeing him, Curacao called out urgently.
She remembered everything.
The records in the secret files, the special equipment Rum bought from abroad, and various powerful weapons—they all appeared in her mind.
This helicopter was completely equipped to deal with Akaso Kaze.
"Destroy the Space Gate?"
Akaso Kaze's eyes narrowed slightly.
High in the sky, Gin widened his eyes, looking at the familiar Space Gate.
His heart was filled with hatred and fear, as well as a morbid excitement. ===== CHAPTER 600 =====
