Chapter 609

~5 min read 937 words

Her fingers seemed to be moving, using a code to transmit information: "Two minutes later, rendezvous at the back door of the commercial building in front."

Calvados hesitated for a moment, did not notify Gin, shouldered his sniper rifle, and ran toward the back of the commercial building.

Akai Shuichi watched Camel and the others leave, leaning himself against the wall at the entrance of a small goods store, the muzzle of the gun in his hand pointing upward.

His deep green eyes remained fixed on the window from which the bullet had just been fired, his brow furrowed.

"The person who fired just now was a woman. Was it Chianti?"

"I heard she was one of the accomplices who helped Gin attack the Ferris wheel before. If that's the case, Gin must be nearby too."

"If they are both aiming at me with sniper rifles from the surroundings, that would be quite troublesome."

Akai Shuichi pondered, then suddenly raised his pistol and fired two consecutive shots toward the muzzle where Chianti was, waiting for Chianti's response.

In the blink of an eye, half a minute passed, and Akai Shuichi did not see any response from the other side. His heart suddenly trembled, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

563 "Strange, why didn't they continue to snipe at me? Could they be planning to bypass me and snatch Vermouth directly from Camel and the other two?"

"But Camel is no weakling, and there is Vermouth as a hostage. Once a firefight starts, if I rush over to support, I will definitely get bogged down in a stalemate. They might all get dragged here and be unable to escape. Unless..."

Akai Shuichi suddenly thought of a possibility, turned his head to look at Camel, who was dragging Vermouth in the distance, and his heart couldn't help but jump.

At the same time, Camel, dragging Vermouth, happened to escape to the front door of a commercial building.

Swish, in an instant, the lights of the entire commercial building went out simultaneously.

Screams from countless people rang out in the darkness, and it was a scene of chaos.

Camel was distracted by the sudden change and turned his head to take a look.

In the time it took for that one glance, his hand suddenly loosened, and Vermouth had already broken free.

She slammed into the glass door beside her.

After the crashing sound, Vermouth's figure disappeared into the dark commercial building.

Not long after, in the alley behind the commercial building.

Vermouth rushed out from the back door.

A car screeched to a halt beside her; the driver was covered up very tightly, making it impossible to see their face.

Vermouth opened the passenger door and sat inside.

The car sped away, leaving the dangerous area.

Vermouth let out a long sigh of relief.

Thinking that Chi Chufeng had only helped her turn off the lights in the commercial building and helped her open a Space Skill door leading directly to the back door, she couldn't help but feel that this deal was a bit of a loss.

Looking at the direction the car was driving, Vermouth was slightly stunned.

"Calvados, what are you doing..."

Vermouth turned her head and suddenly her eyes narrowed.

The person driving the car took off their disguise and smiled slightly at her.

"Vermouth, we meet again."

"Jodie! Why is it you?"

Vermouth was taken aback.

Before she could make a move, a pistol was already aimed at her.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the pier.

Jodie pointed her gun at Vermouth and came outside the car.

Looking at the moon in the sky emitting an eerie glow, Jodie said coldly:

"This is just as round as the moon in America twenty years ago, isn't it, Vermouth? Or should I call you Chris, or Sharon?"

Vermouth's eyes narrowed, "Who exactly are you?"

"Who am I?"

Jodie raised her finger to her lips.

"Remember? A secret makes a woman more beautiful! That was the last sentence you left for me!"

"You said this to me, told me my father was asleep, let me stay by his side, and then burned down my house with a fire!"

Speaking of this, Jodie slowly narrowed her eyes, as if recalling those blurred, painful memories that sometimes made her wake up from nightmares!

"Hoo."

Jodie, who had caught her breath, widened her eyes again.

"But, you didn't kill me at the time; perhaps that was the biggest mistake you made back then."

"I thought my mom and dad were both asleep and wanted to do something for them, so I ran out to buy things!"

"Hehe." Vermouth flipped her long golden hair, "So you were that little girl, a cute little sister."

"Little sister? That's right, twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. In front of you, I really am just at the age of a little sister."

Jodie adjusted her glasses,

"Do you still remember these glasses?"

"Twenty years ago, in order to fake the scene and make it look like my father committed suicide, you put the glasses that had fallen on the floor onto him."

"Unfortunately, you inadvertently left fingerprints on the lenses. If it were you now, you certainly wouldn't make such a mistake."

"After catching you, I conducted a comparison. It's truly unexpected; that fingerprint was exactly the same as yours!"

A strange light flashed in Jodie's eyes.

"In other words, the one who killed my father twenty years ago was actually you! This conclusion surprised me because you are so young."

"So, are you Chris..."
