Chapter 4081 Trap
"It should be up here..." At this moment, Shimizu Mai and Akiyama Shunsuke had arrived at the foot of a small building that was about eight or nine stories high. Based on Shimizu Mai's previous deduction of the location, plus the calculation of suitable sniping points in the surrounding area, it should be this building.
However, at this moment, Shimizu Mai had even more questions in her mind.
On the one hand, the location of the sniper position was closer than she had expected, which was quite strange.
Yes, the snipers used special bullets that exploded into fireballs upon impact, creating a very large kill radius. In other words, this sniping didn't require extremely high accuracy.
As long as you can hit the general location, it doesn't necessarily have to hit a person. The explosion can destroy the entire room. So... why not design the sniper positions to be further away?
After all, the farther the sniper's position, the harder it would be for her to pinpoint the enemy's location. For example, it would be very difficult to clearly hear the source of a gunshot from a distance of more than a thousand meters. She didn't believe that the sniper on the other side couldn't have sniped her room from a thousand meters away, because judging from the quality of that shot just now, the opponent was definitely a master marksman.
However, the location of this building is at most 400 meters away from her rented apartment, which is not far at all.
On the other hand, there was another strange thing: although the distance wasn't far, it still took them some time to get there. But during this time, the other side didn't launch any further attacks.
She had already deduced that the other party likely possessed night vision equipment, so it was highly unlikely that they wouldn't be able to detect her movements even in the darkness. Even if they couldn't detect her movements, what about Akiyama Shunsuke, who was following her? That's right, he was a novice, completely unaware of any concept of stealth movement, yet he hadn't been attacked.
Unless this guy fires a shot and then runs away, this is very strange.
Is it possible that the other party escaped? Of course, it is possible.
She also knew that some snipers had rather unique methods; if she had to put it in a way, they were extremely afraid of losing their lives.
These snipers, once they feel their position has been exposed, will immediately abandon their sniping and leave. They are true assassins; if their first shot fails, they'll give up as soon as the enemy notices something amiss.
Shimizu Mai didn't know if the attacker was a sniper like that. Although they hadn't run there long enough for a professional sniper to retreat. They only had that one effective sniper shot; after the enemy stopped firing, they completely lost track of their position.
If the other party has already retreated, it would be unwise to pursue them now. After all, her rented house was blown up, so someone must have called the police. Even though the world is in chaos right now, the police will likely still be dispatched if the house is bombed.
If the enemy has likely already retreated, it would be a wiser choice for them to retreat as well.
But Shimizu Mai wasn't going to let this opportunity slip by. She'd finally managed to find this clue, which had led to the attack on these system holders, and she had to seize every chance she could.
"You go through the inside," Shimizu Mai called out to Akiyama Shunsuke, who was following her. Then, she sprinted forward, leaping onto the third-floor balcony of the building ahead without slowing down. That's right, she jumped up in one go, a jump of at least ten meters.
That wasn't all. Reaching the third-floor balcony, she flipped over and leaped up two more floors. Yes, she was planning to jump directly from the outside to the roof. While she wasn't sure if the enemy was sniping from the roof, the chances were undoubtedly higher. If she couldn't find anyone on the roof, she'd search downwards.
In just a few seconds, Shimizu Mai had already flipped and jumped to the rooftop. As soon as she reached the top, she quickly found a concealed position. In that instant, she thought she saw a dark figure crouching at the corner of the building in the distance, seemingly in a sniper's stance. Assuming the opponent was skilled, Shimizu Mai was extremely cautious, not daring to peek out. She shifted to a different position and peeked out briefly, spotting a gun barrel protruding from the building—clearly a sniper rifle barrel. It was a sniper rifle she was very familiar with; she could even name the model, having used it before.
It seems I found the right spot on the first try. In other words, the dark figure I just saw lying there was the person I was looking for.
Shimizu Mai felt incredibly lucky; she hadn't expected the other party to still be standing. That meant there was no way he could escape now.
The only problem now is that she can't just kill him, because she needs to get information about her brother from him.
However, Shimizu Mai was quite confident at this moment because she felt that the sniper wasn't actually that strong, and didn't seem as professional as she had thought. She was quite confident that she could capture a sniper of this caliber alive.
However, just as Shimizu Mai was slowly plotting her plan to capture the sniper alive, her figure appeared in another person's scope.
That's right, on the top of the building next door, the crosshair of a rifle scope was already aimed at Shimizu Mai's head.
"A woman?" Shimizu Ritsu frowned as she looked at the woman appearing in the scope.
The opponent had unwittingly walked into his trap. His current position, including the rooftop not far away, was entirely within his firing range, offering absolutely no cover. Simply put, once he reached the rooftop, he was doomed.
The fact is, he can now shoot the woman in the scope in the head with just one pull of the trigger.
The problem is... this woman isn't his target.
That's right, the mission he took was to target two male high school students. Who is this woman who looks like she has some fighting skills?
For some reason, this woman looked somewhat familiar.
Yes, he was indeed wearing night vision devices, but the problem is that night vision devices aren't invincible. Being able to make out a person's outline in this dark night is already quite impressive; how could he possibly see their face clearly?
However, looking at this woman's face, figure, and overall silhouette, she seemed strangely familiar. Shimizu Ritsu hadn't seen his sister for over two years, and he didn't even know she had changed her hairstyle.
"Bodyguards?" Shimizu Ritsu analyzed the other party's identity. These two system holders had already mixed up, so there might really be a warning. The high school student named He Xinchangping came from a wealthy family, so hiring a professional bodyguard or mercenary was quite possible.
So the other party didn't dare to come themselves, but only sent their bodyguard to check? Quite cautious. Shimizu Ritsu looked at the figure in the scope; since the other party was already in her grasp, she'd just wait and see if she could lure the main character out.
