Chapter 715 Hunting Test
Early Morning, 0:49.
The sound of a whistle came from Training Base No. 0331, and a Man's voice announced: "Number 1011 on the 10th Floor has escaped. Everyone, grab your weapons, the Hunting Test begins! Remember, no killing, capture them alive! My final reminder, do not approach the Outer Perimeter Wall of Factory Area, or you will bear the consequences!"
The Guards all retreated to the Outer Perimeter of Factory Area to prevent anyone from escaping in the chaos.
The men and women living on the 10th and 16th Floors, some who hadn't slept yet and some who were awakened by the whistle, had a surprisingly uniform reaction. One by one, like Wild Animals joining a late-night carnival, they excitedly opened their Room Doors and rushed towards the Elevator.
Some of these people were driven by the Enjoyment of Hunting Fellow Birds, some had been cooped up in the Training Base for too long and wanted to rush out for a breath of fresh air, and some wanted to try to escape in the chaos.
Everyone was infected by that feverish atmosphere; those who were Crazy became even more so, and those who weren't Crazy also went Crazy.
"Hunting Test, huh? This is the second time, right? It's really exciting!"
"This time's Prey is mine."
"You're still planning to snatch it from me? My Test has always been first!"
"Let's rely on Ability, whoever catches it gets it!"
"10th Floor? This time's Prey is a Woman..."
A Group of People engaged in a battle at the Elevator Entrance. Those who could seize the Elevator by Ability took the Elevator Downstairs, while those who couldn't seize the Elevator quickly ran Down the Staircase.
Building Rooftop, Chianti stared at the Figures in the Infrared Scope of her Sniper Rifle, her eyes filled with fervor. "They're out, what a lively bunch of Fellows. It makes me want to put a hole in their heads!"
"One person watch one direction, I choose the East," Calvados walked to the east side of the Terrace, turned his head and smiled, "Chianti, want to team up? My Luck has been good recently, there will definitely be Gain in the East!"
"I don't believe in your Luck," Chianti observed the Outside and replied, "I believe more that there will be Gain in the South!"
Korn turned his head and Looked at Chi Feichei, noticed that Chi Feichei didn't seem to intend to choose first, walked to the other side of the Terrace, and said sullenly, "The West is mine."
Hissashi, hiding under Chi Feichei's Clothes, sighed softly, "Humans are really complicated."
Below, A Group of People were searching for Prey, and above, A Group of People were also expecting Prey. Those who thought they were Hunters were also being aimed at as Prey. It couldn't help but observe the Above, afraid that someone standing even higher would see it and its Master as Prey.
Uh-huh, it seems that no matter what kind of Snake, it needs to have a Master who stands tall...
Chi Feichei picked up the Sniper Rifle, walked to the north Terrace side that was left over, and observed the Factory Area through the Scope.
He retracted his previous thoughts. This Place is different from Aoyama Fourth Hospital. The people here are the real Crazy ones.
However... Vicious Criminals = High Bounty = A large Amount of Money. He Saw a few familiar Fellows, all piles of moving Bounty. 450,000... 900,000...
Vodka saw Gin Go To Chi Feichei's side, and followed, lit a Cigarette, and heard Chi Feichei seemingly murmuring, curiously pricked up his ears to listen.
"1.25 million... 2.12 million..." Chi Feichei added up the Bounty Amount of that Group of People Wild Run below in a low voice. If he could wipe them out in one go, he could gather a Home Delivery Service worth a lot of Money.
Vodka was silent for a moment, and silently moved to Calvados's side. Boss is neurotic, Chianti is neurotic, Raki is definitely abnormal, Korn is strangely sullen, Calvados is still a bit more normal.
"Bang!" A gunshot echoed in the Night Sky.
"First!" Chianti's lips curled up, and she said triumphantly with a smile, "Calvados, it seems my Luck is better than yours!"
Calvados continued to Stare at the Direction he was responsible for, waiting to see if anyone would try to escape from the east, "I can always wait for one..."
After a moment of silence, Korn said with a wooden face, "They are Afraid."
Below in the Factory Area, seeing someone approaching the Wall being Sniping, others who had Intention to escape also gave up the Idea, turned around and joined the searching Team, wanting to transfer the Fear of Death in their hearts to their Prey.
And among those who came for 'Hunting' from the beginning, some had already Discovered Clue. A tiny Blood Stain, a Footprint of bare Foot...
Faster than their Action was Ban Tian Yu Zhi.
In the Abandoned Warehouse beside the Building, Ubu Saika hid on the Beam, trying hard to shrink her Body, so that she wouldn't fall down, calming her Rapid Beating Heartbeat.
To Go To here, she could walk along the edge of the Railing, and she could also use a Rope to climb the Elevator, climb the Roof Beam. Things she originally thought she couldn't do, she had done them all. Next, she just needed to hide in this Blind Spot as Auntie Sakata Said, hide until the search Outside ends, and she would be able to find an Opportunity to leave here...
"Click..." In the Darkness, a Black Shadow wearing Tight Clothing and Long Hair tied behind her head flipped into the Warehouse from the Window, quietly Stepped Forward, while walking towards the center of the Warehouse, she Looked up and sized up the Beam.
Ubu Saika held her Breath, stiffened motionless on the Beam, stared with wide Eyes at the person who came, until the person came under the Beam, she could finally See the Appearance of the Other Party by the faint Light coming in from the Window, "Auntie Sakata?"
"Shhh..." Ban Tian Yu Zhi put her left Hand vertically in front of her lips, lowered her voice, and said with an anxious Expression, "Things have changed, it won't be long before someone finds this Place. I'm here to take you away, quickly come down and follow me, I'll take you to a safer Place!"
"Okay..." Ubu Saika became nervous, responded in a soft voice, tied the Rope in her Hand to the Beam, and was about to grab the Rope to climb Downwards when she suddenly Stunned.
In the Darkness to her front side, a small Red Point was lit. It's a Surveillance Camera! She hadn't actually Noticed that there was a Surveillance Camera in this Warehouse before, didn't that mean she had already been Discovered by the people Monitoring her?
"Ayaka, What's Wrong?" Ban Tian Yu Zhi, holding a Dagger in her right Hand, kept it behind her back, seeing Ubu Saika Stunned on the Beam, anxiously urged, "Hurry down!"
She had to Kill Ubu Saika before Ubu Saika was Discovered, otherwise, her Matter of instigating others to escape and wanting to pass the Test by this Method would be Discovered.
Although the Person in Charge of Supervision Said, no killing was allowed, and they had to be captured alive, but as long as Ubu Saika died, would anyone be angered by a Corpse and Kill her regardless of her Value?
This Girl seemed to have Relationship, but being sent here was enough to prove that Relationship wasn't good. Once people are Dead, they have no Value!
Of course, she might still die, but if she didn't think of a Method, when the Test day came, she would also be sent to the Laboratory to become a Test Subject and die miserably, and even her Corpse might not be preserved after Death.
One side was certain Death, and the other side was Possibility of Death, of course she would Take a Gamble.
Moreover, even if she had to die, being able to take a Girl who might be valued with her would be considered not a Loss in Death...
"Ayaka?"
"Ah..." Ubu Saika Recovered in Ban Tian Yu Zhi's call, lowered her Head to Look at Ban Tian Yu Zhi below, her Mind was still a bit Stunned, opened her mouth, but couldn't make a Sound.
Ban Tian Yu Zhi listened to the Movement Outside, her Heart became more and more impatient, Looked up and Saw the Rope hanging down from the Beam, her Eyes lit up, jumped on the Pillar to borrow strength, grabbed the Rope with her left Hand, and while flipping onto the Beam, the Dagger in her right Hand also stabbed fiercely towards Ubu Saika.
Ubu Saika was frightened Stunned in Original Place, her Pupils shrank tightly, watching Ban Tian Yu Zhi's ordinary-Appearance Face enlarge in her Line of Sight, that Face now had no trace of peace and Kind, but was ferocious and cruel, frightening.
"Bang!" At the same time as the Gun sounded, a cluster of Firelight also emerged from behind the Wooden Box in the Dark Place of the Warehouse.
Ban Tian Yu Zhi's right Hand was penetrated by a Bullet, the Dagger in her Hand was knocked to the ground, and her whole Body also fell off the Roof Beam due to pain and impact. She finally managed to grab the Rope and land safely, covered her bleeding right Palm with her left Hand, stared at the Black Shadow behind the Wooden Box, and slowly retreated, moving away from the Wooden Box.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three Lights in the Warehouse turned on, illuminating the Warehouse brightly.
A Black-Clothed Man walked out from behind the Wooden Boxes all around, and someone was also standing quietly at the Warehouse Entrance.
The Person standing in front of the Entrance, who was also the Manager here, coldly Looked at Ban Tian Yu Zhi, "I Should have Said, do not Kill, capture them alive!"
Ban Tian Yu Zhi's Gaze flickered, and she didn't Say anything.
The Manager no longer paid attention to Ban Tian Yu Zhi, Looked towards Ubu Saika who was stiff on the Roof Beam, "Bring the person down!"
Raki and Gin had anticipated that Sakata would strike to Kill, and he had also anticipated it, so Raki arranged for him to lie in wait here. Long before Ubu Saika secretly arrived here, they had already been waiting here.
This Girl cannot die yet!
Ubu Saika did not resist, and was blankly taken down by a Man who jumped onto the Roof Beam to bring her down.
The Manager was just about to Speak when he Notice the Mobile Phone vibrating, took out his Mobile Phone and Glanced at an Email, Looked at the Man who was supporting Ubu Saika, "Send her to the 5th Floor, Raki wants to see her."
"Raki?" Ubu Saika Recovered, still a bit dazed.
...Arriving at the Fifth Floor, Ubu Saika was sent into the Monitoring Room.
The Man who sent Ubu Saika here did not stay long, Turned Around and went out the Door, closing the Door.
Ubu Saika Looked up and Looked Towards the Front. There were no Lights turned on in the Monitoring Room, and rows of Display Screens hung on the Wall behind the long Table.
In front of the long Table, a Figure was sitting in an office chair facing the Entrance. The Light from the Display Screens behind him cast onto the Other Party's Back, outlining the Outline of Golden Shaggy Hair, while the Other Party's Face and those blue Eyes in her Memory were hidden in the Darkness, making it impossible to See clearly.
"Scared silly?" That Sound was still hoarse and unpleasant to hear, and the Tone was also strangely calm.
"Raki..." Ubu Saika had sorted out her Clue on the way here, closed her Eyes, took a deep Breath, and Looked up at the Figure she couldn't See clearly but gave her a great sense of oppression, "Can you let me leave here?"
Chi Feichei Looked at Ubu Saika, the Girl still had a flamboyant Red Long Hair, and the slanted Bangs faintly blocked one Eye, a very cool Hairstyle, but her Clothes covered in Dust and Stain, her palms with broken skin, and her nervous Expression were not so cool. He reminded her, "Back then, it was you who wanted to join the Organization."
Ubu Saika lowered her Head in Silence. She regretted it, she wanted to live peacefully. But she didn't dare to Say these Ideas out loud, she was worried that Raki would Think she was playing with him, worried about being thrown under the Muzzle.
This Man who she once regarded as a Cat, seemed to also have a very high Status and say here, and was probably not a Cat. Thinking about it now, Raki could Intervene and hurt people back then, and Look at other people's Blood and painful Expressions with a calm and Indifference Face. He was not a good person in the first place. It was ridiculous that she thought that was cool at the time.
Chi Feichei casually picked up Things on the Table, Got Up and Stepped Forward, startling Ubu Saika.
Ubu Saika Subconsciously took a step back, leaned against the Door, and Looked up at the Figure who was much taller than her Approaching.
"You don't like this Place?" Chi Feichei stopped at a distance of two steps away from Ubu Saika.
Such a distance still made Ubu Saika feel so oppressed that she couldn't Breath. She Nodded, and opened her mouth with difficulty, "Yes, I can do Other Things, but... but Murder is not okay, I really can't do it."
