In the early morning night, a pickup truck was driving on a mountain road in the countryside with its lights on——
However, the vehicle was driving a little slowly, as if it was looking for something along the road.
In the car, several men in black were crowded on the seats, including the man sitting in the passenger seat, who complained like this -
"I originally thought that being brought here by my employer would make it look like we were doing serious work. Why now...it seems like we are still doing some irregular work?"
"you shut up!"
And after hearing the man complaining like this, he was driving a vehicle while observing the men around him, and finally couldn't help but refute:
"Just tell me, did your employer break his promise last time? We can get such a good salary now, and we don't have to live in a stable place like before. Aren't you satisfied? Complaining about this and that all day long, what do you want?
How's it going? With your attitude towards doing things, if it were another employer, how could you have been able to make a living like you are now? I would have driven you away a long time ago!
"Besides, if you are really dissatisfied, just resign and leave as soon as possible! I won't have to listen to you complaining all day long. In this way, you can also leave this place of right and wrong directly! You don't have to worry about whether it is illegal or not..."
"I'm not saying I won't do it..."
In this regard, after hearing what the man in black who was driving the vehicle said, the man sitting in the co-pilot couldn't help but said a little to make up for himself:
"It's just... I didn't know who the employer was before. Now that I know the identity of the employer, I feel like something is wrong... If they hire us in this capacity, they don't want us to take the blame anytime, right?"
"Isn't that normal?"
But in response to this statement, the man driving the car couldn't help but reply:
"This is how we work in this industry. As long as the employer gives us a starting price, what's wrong with taking the blame? Moreover, the employer has also promised us that we will not let us do anything too excessive... Regarding this, don't you think
Are there any other dissatisfactions?"
After saying this, the man sitting in the passenger seat couldn't help but fell silent. The man driving the car then shouted loudly and said to everyone sitting in the car:
"Okay! Cheer up, everyone! The employer said, just find the car that went down the mountain on this stretch of road, and then get it back up! Give me a good look at everything! I found that car
Tell me as soon as the car is ready!"
"yes!"
Hearing this, everyone else in the car responded angrily to the leader's order.
In response, the leading man couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to drive the car with concentration...
…
And just as these people were driving slowly on this mountain road in the pickup truck, they were also walking towards the mountain road here. Hanada Emi and Gao Yuan, who were holding flashlights and torches respectively, were already walking.
A lot of distance——
Since the two of them had taken a taxi before, and now there was no available transportation in the wilderness, they had no choice but to walk as fast as possible towards their destination.
However, fortunately, the whole journey was not too far. After walking for about forty minutes, the two of them arrived at the foot of the destination mountain, and then began the more difficult end of the journey——
climb mountains.
And on such a night, facing the evening breeze in the countryside, although the two of them had walked for forty minutes, facing the temperature at this moment, Gao Yuan and Hanada Emi could still clearly feel the cold.
Among them, Hanada Emi, who was holding a flashlight, was shaking involuntarily and pulled the clothes he was wearing——
It seems that when she went out, she didn't think much about the wind blowing outside for so long at night, so the clothes Hanada Emi wore were actually a little thin.
In response, Hanada Emi trembled while looking at Gao Yuan beside her, looking at the long windbreaker he was wearing, seemingly thoughtful, but after thinking about it, she did not speak after all -
Takato noticed this because his clothes were at least thicker than Hanada Emi's, and there was still a trace of heat from the torch in his hand.
Therefore, subconsciously, Gao Yuan wanted to take off his trench coat and put it on Hanada Emi. At least this was considered a normal gentleman's behavior.
However, before Gao Yuan actually took action, Gao Yuan suddenly remembered——
I must never take off this dress in front of Hanada Emi!
Because of the relationship with the original person, although I have now separated from the original person in terms of blood through the "devil" props, in appearance, I have not changed much from the original person.
Although I learned some "disguise techniques" from Kuroba Kaito and used them to modify my appearance, in essence, my face has not changed much.
Once he takes off the windbreaker called "The Hermit" and loses the cover of this prop, Takato is worried that Hanada Emi will recognize him——
After all, even though I am still a little shaken about who my original identity is because of the incident at the Mitarai family, it is basically certain that I died at the hands of Hanada Emi!
A person who was killed by Hanada Emi actually appeared in front of her. Even if she could completely argue that she had nothing to do with the person she knew, she would probably be extremely suspicious.
Under the current circumstances, there is really no need to expand the suspicion in Hanada Emi's eyes, so this windbreaker must not be taken off!
So, doing the next best thing, Gao Yuan used the torch in his hand to light another unlit torch he was carrying with him, and handed it to Hanada Emi——
"Take a warm one."
"Ah...thank you!"
In response, Hanada Emi rubbed her hands and turned off the flashlight, as if to save some power. Then she took the torch and used the flame on the torch to warm her hands by warming them up. Then she said:
"Let's keep walking...sigh..."
Before he finished speaking, Hanada Emi looked toward the mountain and let out a surprised cry——
"What's wrong?"
Slightly surprised, Gao Yuan also looked towards the mountain and saw vaguely, car lights flashing on the mountain road above -
"A car is passing by!"
Surprised by this, Hanada Emi said this.
"Then let's go up quickly! Maybe we can ask the other party for help!"
Gao Yuan nodded and replied.
Immediately, the two of them hurried towards the direction of the light on the mountain, fearing that the other person's vehicle was traveling in the same direction as the two of them, so they drove away directly.
However, after a while, although the two of them had not yet reached the direction with the lights on, they noticed that the car with the lights on seemed to be parked somewhere and did not continue driving.
Upon seeing this, the two of them quickened their pace and soon arrived at a location on the mountain road, not far from the car with its headlights on.
As the two of them got closer, the shape of the car gradually appeared in their eyes——
That's a pickup truck.
Next to the pickup truck, a group of men in black were standing, looking a little bewildered and looking down the mountain.
However, when looking at these men in black, Gao Yuan's eyes couldn't help but change -
