Chapter 257: Full Moon, Unexpected Intruder
Bourbon used the moonlight to see the dark figure rushing towards him. Although the young face was tense with fear, his eyes were full of determination and decisiveness.
Isn't this girl the one from the Maori family?
Why is she here?
Bourbon was stunned for a moment.
Mao Lilan was extremely scared at first, but after she really rushed out, she calmed down.
The words that Kudo Shinichi once said kept echoing in her mind: "Hey, Ran, do you know? The speed of a rifle is about 1000 meters per second. In comparison, a pistol is only one-third of that, about 350 meters per second."
"If you want to hide, you can only hide from the gun, not the bullet. That is to say, before the opponent shoots, shoot away the bullet's flight path, and then dodge, giving the opponent that 0.3 seconds to react. You can use this time to hide or grab the gun. Of course, the premise is that the distance between the two sides is far enough or close enough."
I can do it! Mao Lilan stared at Bourbon's gun-holding hand. She only needed to sprint to reach his face.
Although I don’t know what Shinichi and Yuya have planned, Mio is in danger now.
You is not here, and Teacher Judy is injured. I am the only one who can protect her!
That Vermouth is still nearby... hurry up!
Bourbon's momentary distraction was accurately captured by the concentrating Mao Lilan. She suddenly burst out with force and rushed in front of the opponent in the blink of an eye.
Bourbon was shocked. This girl is so fast! She is not as weak as she appears!
but···
Bourbon's eyes flashed, and his hand that subconsciously counterattacked was suppressed by him. The next moment, the gun in his hand was chopped away by a palm knife from Mao Lilan.
Immediately afterwards, Mao Lilan pushed her palm towards Bourbon's chin.
Bourbon's eyes narrowed, and he leaned back slightly to avoid the attack, then swung his left fist towards Maori Ran.
Ran Mao Li instinctively clasped her arms in front of her chest to block the opponent's attack, but she underestimated the opponent's strength and was knocked back two steps by the punch. She felt a sharp pain in her arms, as if they were going numb.
Bourbon narrowed his eyes slightly, made a click of the tongue, and stepped forward to attack Mao Lilan.
Suddenly, there was a "bang!"
Bourbon's eyes suddenly widened, his forward steps stopped abruptly, his body swayed twice, his eyes rolled up, and finally he fell to the ground with a "thump".
"Huh?" Mao Lilan looked at Judy who suddenly fell to the ground in surprise, and a huge question mark appeared above her head.
What happened? Why did it suddenly fall down?
She looked forward and was shocked to see a strange-looking girl standing there, her right hand shaped like a knife, looking coldly at Judy who was lying on the ground - it was obvious that it was this girl who had knocked Judy unconscious.
Who is she? Mao Lilan was shocked. Isn't it Mio-chan?
But that outfit was indeed what Mio-chan wore today, what's going on...
"Bourbon?" Vermouth's puzzled voice came.
Ran Mouri was shocked. Without thinking too much, she ran forward and grabbed Miyano Shiho's hand, and led her to the gap between the containers in her surprised eyes.
When Vermouth heard the sound of fighting behind her, she quickly left Judy and ran back. She was shocked to see Bourbon lying on the ground motionless.
Killed? Impossible?!
She subconsciously raised her gun and aimed at the two fleeing figures, but the hand that pulled the trigger immediately froze in mid-air - that hairstyle... Angel?
"Blast!" A gunshot rang out, and the bullet hit the container, splashing out a spark.
Vermouth suddenly raised his head and shouted into the headset: "Stop, Calvados!"
Calvados had already put Ran Maori's figure into his crosshairs. He was a little confused when he heard Vermouth's voice, but he always regarded Vermouth's words as "imperial edicts". In the end, he did not pull the trigger and let the two disappear.
Of course, even if he fired, with Mao Lilan's European emperor attributes, he would not be able to hit.
Vermouth's eyes were filled with shock.
Why, why is Angel here? Didn't she go to Gunma Prefecture to take a hot spring bath?
She bought the invitation ticket specially as a prize, and in order to make Angel feel comfortable in the bath, she bought the highest quality one.
What Vermouth didn't know was that in the Kusatsu Onsen in Gunma Prefecture, Toyama Kazuha was soaking in the pool alone, with a comfortable expression on her face, muttering, "It's such a pity that Xiaolan didn't come to such a comfortable hot spring!"
···
"Ran, why are you here?" Miyano Shiho grabbed Mouri Ran's arm and asked anxiously.
"I..." Mao Lilan didn't know how to explain for a moment.
"Forget it, there's no time to explain. Just hide and don't come out." Miyano Shiho looked around and finally pushed Mouri Ran into a half-open container.
"Wait!" Mao Lilan grabbed Miyano Shiho's wrist, looked into her eyes and asked, "Are you...Mio-chan?"
Miyano Shiho was silent for a moment: "I'll explain it to you later."
Mao Lilan saw that she was about to leave and quickly stopped her: "No, it's too dangerous outside, you can't go."
Ran Mao Li was so concerned that she completely forgot that this was the person in front of her and knocked Judy unconscious.
Miyano Shiho opened her mouth and felt a little headache. Aren't there too many changes in tonight's plans?
It would be fine if Bourbon just showed up, but why did Mao Lilan, who was supposed to be taking a hot spring bath, also suddenly appear?
Miyano Shiho sighed and spoke, but her voice suddenly changed: "Xiaolan, it's me."
Mao Lilan's eyes widened immediately. This voice was extremely familiar. She had heard it for more than ten years: "Are you, Yuya?!"
Miyano Shiho, no, Yuya nodded: "It's me, I'll explain the details to you later... The enemy is still outside."
He squatted down, took off his shoes, and then stomped hard on the ground.
In order to prevent Vermouth from doubting his height, he deliberately wore a pair of shoes that looked like they had thick soles, but were actually hollow inside.
Although their heights were almost the same, the shoes prevented him from moving freely, otherwise he wouldn't have been so obediently held hostage by Bourbon all the way.
Who would have thought that before he could make a move, Mao Lilan suddenly appeared and almost got into a fight with Bourbon.
Luckily, he was quick enough to knock Bourbon unconscious, as he didn't dare bet on whether Bourbon's fighting skills were lower or higher than Maori Ran's.
Fortunately, Calvados did not expect that Maori Ran would appear suddenly, otherwise Vermouth might not have time to stop her and Maori Ran would have been sniped first.
It turns out it’s not Mio-chan, it’s Yuya!
Mao Lilan let out a long sigh of relief and relaxed all of a sudden. Then she realized that her hands and feet had no strength left and she fell to the ground.
"Lan, are you okay?" You was also shocked. Could you be injured?
"I'm fine," Mao Lilan forced a smile, "I just have no strength..."
Although he rushed out in a burst of force, he was actually still very scared inside. It was just that the adrenaline may have temporarily gotten rid of the fear, but almost all of his strength was used to maintain the action just now. Now that he relaxed, he immediately lost his strength.
Yuya breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought about it, and while taking off his coat, he took out a bulletproof vest from the system space and told Mao Lilan to put it on.
"What about you?" Mao Lilan grabbed the bulletproof vest and asked anxiously, "I'm fine hiding here, so you should wear it."
"It's okay, I'm wearing two." Yuya waved his hand, and another bulletproof vest appeared in his hand.
In the darkness, Ran Mouri couldn't see Yuya's movements clearly. She just thought that he was really wearing two pieces of armor, so she put on the bulletproof vest obediently.
"Hide here and don't come out!" Youye whispered.
Mao Lilan nodded.
Even if she wanted to move, her hands and feet were weak and she had no strength left.
Youye took a deep breath, leaned sideways to look outside, and after confirming that it was safe, he quickly left the container.
