Chapter 656: You, you let me go

Pitter-patter.

The rain curtain had a tendency to grow heavier.

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

Unfortunately, she had originally intended 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 of Akai Shuichi's information, but Akai Shuichi didn't know her identity.

Tick, tock, tick, tock.

The sound of dripping rain entered Vermouth's ears.

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 is too arrogant.

Vermouth felt a kind of contempt from Akai Shuichi'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 sudden clap of thunder erupted in the sky outside.

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

Very close.

Only five steps left!

A strange smile appeared on her disguised face.

Akai Shuichi, you stay here forever!

Vermouth had even planned to replace Akai Shuichi.

"Go to hell!"

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

She suddenly revealed her disguised ferocious 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 0.5 seconds while holding the gun, then immediately reacted and lowered the muzzle to fire at the ground.

But another handgun pulled the trigger first, 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 the flashing lightning reflected his appearance.

Akai Shuichi.

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

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

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

"Hmph!"

Vermouth let out a cold snort with her disguised voice, suddenly flashed behind the wall to dodge the next bullet, and returned fire 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 no less than Akai Shuichi'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, Akai Shuichi could follow closely behind and fire at her position.

The hallway was pitch black, and she didn't see this 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 man.

In fact, Akai Shuichi wasn't that powerful; he just confirmed her position based on his super 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.
