Chapter 38
The safety of too many people was at stake, especially since more than half of them were of high status. The police arrived at the scene quickly. They first communicated with the person in charge of the Amy Auction, and then asked several plainclothes officers to confirm the existence of the bomb.
Soon, the plainclothes officers brought a positive reply. The person in charge felt shocked. He had just taken office for a short time, and he had to encounter such a thing?
"For the safety of the people, please notify them immediately, suspend the auction, and cooperate with us to evacuate the people."
The person in charge nodded quickly, and then arranged for someone to notify the auctioneer, and at the same time mobilized most of the staff behind the curtain of the auction table to participate in the evacuation of the people.
Gin was not far from the auction. He saw the arrival of the police. One of the teams was obviously bomb disposal by the way they were dressed.
The bomb was discovered, and he had no idea about it. He had other ways. Gin contacted Vermouth.
At this time, there were only three items left before the auction of the finale of the aging cell regeneration agent. The tense atmosphere spread in the hearts of some people. Antoine began to glance at the staff holding the key to the safe from time to time.
Outside the curtain, bidders were bidding one after another, and the auctioneer was distracted to listen to the notification from his superior in the headset.
The installed bomb was discovered, which was really unexpected.
After a while, he heard Gin's countermeasures from another headset. After knocking on the headset twice to show that he understood, he said to the microphone:
"Dear guests, I am very sorry that due to sudden unforeseen circumstances, this auction has to be temporarily suspended. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to everyone."
As soon as the voice fell, a policeman in police uniform quickly came out from behind the curtain and stood in front of the microphone:
"Please keep quiet, follow the instructions of the staff, and leave the scene in an orderly manner from the safe passage..."
Before he finished speaking, a gunshot rang out, and then the huge chandelier above his head fell down and shattered on the auction table. If the police had reacted slower, he would probably have died here.
"Mr. Police Officer, are you okay?" The auctioneer stepped forward to help him and put the gun back into his gun bag.
"It's OK, thank you."
The sudden gunshots and the darkening environment after the lights were gone made many people scream. They pushed and shoved to run out, but were blocked and unable to move.
The time has come.
The first to take action was Madam Red. She waved her folding fan at the four mirror images in front of her. After a while, the four people behind the curtain fainted one after another.
The second was the auctioneer. He directly lifted the curtain. After seeing the few people falling to the ground, he was stunned, and then quickly snatched the key from the only remaining stunned staff member.
"You..." A gun was pressed against the back of the staff member's head, and he stopped talking. The gunman was Phantom.
The police also came in. Through the dim light, he could see Phantom's threatening look. He quickly took out the gun and pointed it at Phantom: "Who are you?"
Phantom didn't speak, and held the staff member in front of him with his hand. In this way, the police couldn't do anything to him, and the two sides were deadlocked.
Toru Amuro, Kil and the others flexibly turned over the seats one by one and headed towards the curtain; Subaru Okiya was faster than them. After seeing the auctioneer successfully open the safe, he went forward to fight with the auctioneer without thinking.
The auctioneer was no match for him and soon fell behind. Subaru Okiya took the time to take the potion in his hand. Just as he was about to leave, a fist with strong wind hit his face.
He dodged, and Toru Amuro continued to move forward. The two fought back and forth.
Seeing that she couldn't get in, Kil set her sights on the only auctioneer who was still alone. She didn't know that the current auctioneer was Vermouth pretending to be Gin, who didn't tell her.
So she approached the auctioneer suddenly, trying to knock him out, but she heard the auctioneer leaning close to her ear and saying: "It's me."
Vermouth! Kil's hand that wanted to chop with a knife suddenly lost its strength. The two looked at each other, and then Vermouth covered her to knock the police unconscious, and Shadow also knocked out the staff with a shot.
The situation was not good for Subaru Okiya, but fortunately Judy and the others arrived at the critical moment. He threw the potion to Judy, and then continued to restrain Amuro Toru. Amuro Toru wanted to get rid of him and chase him, but he couldn't.
Gil and Vermouth chased Judy, but two FBI agents blocked them, which made Judy temporarily escape to the crowd queuing up.
She breathed a sigh of relief and didn't notice the shadow getting closer and closer to her, five meters, three meters, one meter...
Judy only felt a pain in her wrist, and then the potion in her hand disappeared. She looked astonished and turned back suddenly. The shadow ran several meters away from her nimbly, and she went forward to chase.
The two came to the second floor, and the shadow directly smashed the window and jumped out of the window. Judy gritted her teeth and jumped down.Go, and ended up hurting her foot, and it hurt so much to move.
She watched the other person run away.
This scene was seen by Susan who was waiting here.
[Mysterious Man from the East (Susan): The potion is on the Shadow, Bangbang, Night Watchman, Photographer, you hold Gin and the others, I'll go deal with the Shadow.
French Duke (Photographer): I'll come first, so it'll be more fun for you to face the unlucky ones.
Arms Dealer (Bangbang): Okay, I saw the new car that Riesling bought for Gin and the others, it's a Toyota, license plate number WA 755GTH
American Tramp (Night Watchman): I'm near that car, Gin and Vodka are in the car, but I didn't see Riesling.
Extraordinary high school student (adventurer): I saw him, he came to support Gil and the others. By the way, the auctioneer was disguised by Vermouth. Now Okiya Subaru and Amuro Toru seem to have reached some kind of agreement and are slowly moving the fighting venue. It will probably be out of Vermouth's sight in a few minutes.
Antique collector (antique dealer): Let the novelist and I just catch Riesling.
Extraordinary high school student (adventurer): Those two FBIs seem to be unable to hold on.
I love invention (mechanic): Then I will drive the robot and the antique dealer to catch Riesling, and the novelist who is more skilled in physical skills will help the FBI deal with Sister Bayonetta and the others to divert their attention.
Novel creator (novelist): I strongly agree!
Prophet (priest): Do it if you want to. I support you.
Dog-headed detective (cowboy): Hurry up, Conan wants to come behind the curtain to take a look. I can delay for ten minutes at most.
Antique collector (antique dealer): Ten minutes is enough. The mechanic and I will take the Riesling away. Novelist, you retreat. 】
The three antique dealers left the queue and went to a corner where no one was and the surveillance blind spot was not there. Then the antique dealer and the novelist took out the mask and put it on. The mechanic took out a robot from the system space and attached it. (Newly refreshed props can be temporarily stored in the system space, for example, the gravekeeper's shovel, but after taking it out and using it, it cannot be put back)
The mask has been revised. It is still a white silhouette with a black background and a Muse mark on the forehead, but the eyes are sewn with big buttons with thick thread.
Wearing the mask does not affect the field of vision. They can look out through the holes on the buttons.
No longer wasting time, the three people hurried to do their business.
In the alley, Shadow felt that he had a sure thing in this mission and sent a message to Gin, but gradually, he felt that something was wrong, as if someone was following him.
He looked back, but there was nothing. He looked back again, and an umbrella was spinning and flying towards him. His attention was subconsciously attracted by the umbrella. When he came to his senses, a man in white was already standing beside him.
The shadow was startled, and after taking two steps back, he opened his legs and ran hard. Susan was just walking, but his speed was almost the same as the shadow. He waved his soul-soothing umbrella forward, but was dodged by the shadow.
Susan simply threw the umbrella forward, teleported to a position closer to him, and switched to the Fan Wujiu state. Although the forward speed was a little slower, the umbrella was swung to hit people much faster. The shadow was hit several times, and his back hurt.
After the last blow, the shadow finally fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
To be on the safe side, Susan whipped him a few more times, successfully making the shadow dizzy.
Five streets away, the photographer set up the camera, took a photo of the clouds, and then walked through the photo to find the location of Gin and the others.
There happened to be a small stick not far away. The photographer picked it up, then walked to the new Toyota, opened the door, and swung the stick at the two people inside.
The health bars above Gin and Vodka had long been emptied, but the photographer continued to fight until the time was up and automatically transferred back to the real world.
Gin suddenly had a strange feeling, but he couldn't tell what it was. Ignoring the discomfort in his heart, he looked at the last message on his mobile phone:
The aging cell regeneration agent is in hand. I'm in the alley behind the auction. ——Shadow Mystique
"Vodka, go to the back of the auction." Gin said.
"Yes, big brother."
Suddenly, Gin felt that the temperature of the mobile phone in his hand was gradually wrong. He didn't hesitate and threw it out through the window. The mobile phone exploded in mid-air and broke into a pile of parts.
"Big... big brother, what is this?" Vodka was surprised when the newly bought car emitted a stream of black smoke.
"Get out of the car." Gin opened the door and went out, followed by Vodka. After walking to a safe distance, the car caught fire and then exploded with a bang.
Gin swiftly dodged a part that was heading for his head, and VoltkaGin was not so lucky. He was hit by the car door and his chin was burned by the hot temperature.
Vodka stood up expressionlessly, tears streaming down his face.
Although the car was gone, it was not far from the destination, so Gin decided to walk over, and Vodka followed closely.
Just less than 20 meters away, a pot of flowers fell from a tall building. If Gin hadn't pulled Vodka in time, Vodka would have been seriously injured if not dead.
Ten meters further ahead, a pot of water suddenly poured out from the store next to it, giving Vodka a chill.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sir. I didn't know what happened just now and my feet slipped. I wanted to use this water to water the flowers outside, but I didn't expect this to happen!" The owner of the store was very sincere. Vodka opened his mouth to say something, but seeing that his brother was getting farther and farther away from him, he quickly chased after him.
Five minutes later, Vodka looked even more miserable, even worse than a homeless man. Gin asked him to tidy himself up quickly and then went to the alley alone to meet Shadow.
