Chapter 1136 Raki Indeed Has Pica
Chi Feichei was unfazed by Gin's sudden excitement, ignoring it. With a calm expression, he raised his hand, tearing off Jodie's disguise mask and clothing disguise. He walked to the alley entrance, used his finger to dab the bloodstain on the wall, considered for a moment, and decided to taste it.
He wanted to confirm whether those two were genuinely injured or had used some animal's blood to fake it…
There was a warehouse nearby that raised fish; getting fish blood shouldn't be difficult.
Amuro Toru hadn't yet sorted his thoughts when he inadvertently looked up and saw a certain blond and blue-eyed Young Man standing by the wall, his head lowered as he tasted the blood. He was stunned for a moment.
He'd worry about Akai Shuichi's problem later. The key now was the Advisor…
Being mixed in with an organization where everyone was mentally ill made integration easier, that was true.
But would the Advisor's already unstable mentality really not suffer if this continued?
Chi Feichei tasted the blood, then used his finger to dab another bloodstain on the wall and tasted it again.
They were two different kinds of blood.
One had a slightly crisp herbal scent, but it also changed into various flavors, seemingly with a hint of strong liquor.
The other had different levels of faint sweetness, bitterness, and spiciness.
Animal blood wouldn't be this complex and layered. It could be confirmed that Jodie and Akai Shuichi were both injured.
The blood he initially tasted should have been Akai Shuichi's; the one he tasted later was Jodie's…
So, the question was, would the blood of the Organization's people all have a lingering smell of alcohol?
After realizing he could taste these flavors in the blood, he hadn't yet tried collecting blood samples from the Organization's people. He felt it was something worth researching.
Gin finished his arrangements, looked up at Raki standing by the wall tasting blood, and suddenly remembered the video of Chi Feichei biting small animals to death one by one.
In that video, Raki was in his original appearance with black hair and purple eyes. This time, he was wearing a fake face with blond hair and blue eyes. But no matter which face, the same calm and serious expression gave people a strange feeling that was indescribable and unclear.
That fellow Raki…he really does have pica.
Considering Bourbon, someone he wasn't close to, was nearby, Gin didn't make a sarcastic remark as usual, choosing to ignore it.
The two people behind Amuro Toru kept their eyes downcast, pretending they hadn't seen anything.
Every time they acted with the core members, who were all abnormal, they would feel their own normalcy made them stand out. They were used to it.
…
In the narrow alley, Akai Shuichi and Jodie hid behind a Container, using torn cloth strips to stop the bleeding from their wounds.
Jodie's gunshot wound was on her shoulder blade. After simple bandaging stopped the bleeding, her forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat. She turned to ask Akai Shuichi, "How are you? Are you alright?"
"In my forearm, not too bad."
Akai Shuichi spoke in a relaxed tone, but his heart was even more vigilant.
Their injuries were all concentrated on the left side and upper body. In other words, those five people had aimed for either the head or the heart, and their shooting skills were all very strong.
With just a slight deviation, the wound on his arm and the wound on Jodie's shoulder blade could have become fatal wounds piercing the heart.
Tonight, he had more than once felt like he had brushed past Death God.
On the bus roof, he had dodged a sniper rifle bullet. A second before the car exploded, he guessed the Sniper might blow up the fuel tank, and he immediately jumped out of the car with Jodie and Cameron. This was the third time…
He knew that a person's luck and crisis awareness couldn't last forever, and it was impossible to repeatedly save them from death in such a short time.
This injury was a reminder that if this continued, they would eventually die because of carelessness or slow reactions.
Therefore, he had to be fully alert to get through this period.
"The injury is on the left arm, it should be quite troublesome, right?" Jodie looked at Akai Shuichi's injured left arm and took out her Mobile Phone. "I'll ask Cameron how much longer he needs."
"Well, although my right hand isn't my dominant hand, but switching to using a gun with my right hand…" Akai Shuichi said, noticing Jodie staring at her phone, stunned, and stopped the topic. "What's wrong?"
Jodie breathed a sigh of relief and put away her phone. "No signal, they probably did something to it."
Akai Shuichi looked towards a Factory Building in front of them. "But at least we achieved our Goal…"
They had risked splitting up to collect things. After collecting the things, he entrusted them to Cameron for preparation, while he and Jodie went out and separately set up small mechanisms along the way. These mechanisms would make noise to lure all the Organization's people to a specific Location.
It was all the Enemies, not just those in one Direction.
That's why he and Jodie had to risk running in different directions. After setting up the mechanisms, they met again at the previous meeting point.
Although there was a bit of an Accident, judging from the present Outcome, almost all the people in the Organization's encirclement would be lured over.
"Also Correct, they haven't even used those mechanisms, and they've already gathered," Jodie chuckled, cheered up, got up, and said, "Let's go, we still have a way to go. If I had known, I wouldn't have rushed to stop the bleeding. Using the blood should have been easier to lure them over."
"Don't be silly, intentionally created bloodstains may not fool them, and it might even make them sense an Abnormality," Akai Shuichi got up and followed, vigilantly observing the surroundings as they walked. "Leaving traces of our Activity is enough for them to chase after us."
Jodie thought that their plan was almost a Success. Even if they couldn't escape, Andre Camel could still escape, so the Pressure wasn't that great. "By the Way, that person who looked exactly like me just now…was that Woman called Belmode back again?"
Akai Shuichi thought of the indifferent Face he had seen before and denied Jodie's Speculation. "It's not her. That Woman, even in that situation, could look at us with a sincere Smile. But that person…had a very cold Expression, not the kind Belmode would show. That Expression was more like the person who fought with me in the Car."
"It's also Possible that Belmode helped him with the Disguise…" Jodie speculated.
She wanted to confirm whether Belmode, her father's killer, had returned.
"Perhaps, perhaps not," Akai Shuichi didn't rush to confirm or deny. "At least he can imitate your voice and Expression perfectly."
The reason he had been stunned just now, giving the Organization's people a chance to appear and shoot, was because that person had imitated Jodie's anxious demeanor and voice too well. It was so similar that he couldn't tell whether it was Jodie or not. In that Moment, he subconsciously suspected the Jodie beside him, and considered the question of 'two Jodies, which one is real and which one is fake'. His Attention was completely diverted. By the time he stopped thinking, the muzzle was already pointed at them.
"You suspect he also has the Disguise Technique?" Jodie asked.
"There's that Possibility." Akai Shuichi pondered.
That person's Acting Skills and voice mimicry were no worse than Belmode's. He had to suspect that the other party also had a Disguise Technique that could perfectly complement 'Performance' and 'Voice Mimicry'.
…
The two moved along the Alley.
After Stout and Yingqu Yan Nan arrived nearby and took over the Security Confirmation work from a High Place, Gin and the others at the Alley Entrance also entered the alley, following the traces while having Vodka lead people to form an Encirclement.
As the Encirclement tightened, Akai Shuichi and Jodie were soon trapped near a Sewage Treatment Plant.
There was a large Open Ground behind the Sewage Treatment Plant. Jodie and Akai Shuichi hid in the Wall Corner.
Andre Camel had just bent down and emerged from a Factory Building on the other side when a bullet grazed his sleeve. He quickly lowered his Body, moving to join Akai Shuichi and Jodie.
"A third FBI agent appeared. Find the other two from behind the western wall," Stout, observing from a High Place nearby, reported in a low voice. "It's not easy to hit the Goal from here; I missed…"
He was telling the truth.
There weren't any particularly high places nearby. The Altitude of his Sniper Point wasn't enough. Those three were moving, crouching behind buildings, and he could barely Aim.
Of course, he had also let them off.
Initially, he had intentionally taken the bait, pretending to Snipe the Goal, shooting the coat they had thrown out, exposing his Location to them.
The FBI's Silver Bullet was indeed keen. After probing his location, they chose hiding places that guarded against him. As long as those people didn't foolishly run into the Open Ground, it would be difficult for him to hit them.
This was all he could do. If the other side made a Mistake and moved into the range of his muzzle, then he could only Aim and shoot…
"Keep staring!"
Gin said, looking towards the Cement Platform shrouded in Shadow in front of them, and sneered, "The Activity Space is completely blocked here. Let's see how long they can last!"
On the other side of the Cement Platform, Vodka and his men hid behind the Wall, eager to try. "Boss, let's force them out from our side!"
"Let's solve this quickly. We've been busy all night," Amuro Toru put on an air of watching a good show, silently offering Akai Shuichi his condolences in his heart.
In this Situation, the FBI agents couldn't even escape, let alone move freely. They could only use the Platform and Flower Bed for Cover. As long as they further tightened the Encirclement, they could kill them with random gunfire.
In this dead end, he could only go with the flow, unless Akai Shuichi's previous Subtle Move took effect…
Gin didn't rush to respond to Vodka's Proposal, also thinking about the FBI agents' previous Abnormality.
Choosing this Cold Weapon Workshop, splitting up, and the third person appearing only at the end…
He didn't believe the FBI agents weren't planning something. However, if there were difficulties, then they would overcome them. There were always ways to bypass Traps.
Why not work backward? What kind of Trap could there be here?
In this Open Ground, if they suddenly ran, they would have almost no Cover…
After a moment of Silence, Gin suddenly laughed. Under the Illumination Lamp of a nearby Factory Building, his teeth were white and chilling as he held a Cigarette. "No…wait for Raki to come over, and use Bombs to force them out!"
Andre Camel, behind the Cement Platform, vaguely heard Gin's words and became anxious. He turned his head to look at Akai Shuichi.
Akai Shuichi shook his head at Andre Camel, signaling his Teammate not to worry.
They had been busy collecting things and hadn't properly cleaned up the traces. It was normal for Gin to sense the traces of their split-up search and become vigilant. It was within his expectations. However, if the Organization's people used Bombs, they would have to guard against being blown up.
Raki…was that the person who fought with him? Going to get the Bombs?
