Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

In the utility room next to the emergency passage on the first floor,

Hondou Eisuke and his team, who had successfully reached the first floor a few minutes ago, should have walked out of the fire scene and welcomed the fresh air outside and the kind care of medical rescue workers.

However, this group of people are now crowded into this room which is filled with a lot of things and has very limited storage space.

As for the reason, it is naturally related to Hondou Eisuke.

In a room full of junk,

The core members of Mingjing, who huddled together in a corner to leave more space, looked at the tender expression on their boss's face and felt as if all the bowls, spoons, pots, pans and seasoning bottles in the kitchen had been overturned.

After a series of crackling sounds, I looked at the mess on the ground, confused and dazed.

How could things have come to this?

Hondou Eisuke was also confused about this question.

More than a month ago, after finishing the nightmare-like code name assessment, Hondou Eisuke stepped over the corpses of his competitors, half of his body stained with blood, carrying the mission item that meant he had passed the assessment.

Got the code name Daiquiri.

During the first three days of becoming a code member, Eisuke Hondou woke up from nightmares every night and had trouble falling asleep the whole night.

Later, after his recuperation period, he began to engage in seemingly endless tasks.

As soon as the old task was completed, a new task appeared in his mailbox.

The constant running around day and night left him no time or energy to think about internal friction, and he gradually got rid of the nightmare.

When Hondou Eiyuto received the action plan for this mission from Rum, he was still on the streets of Idari.

By the time he flew back from Italy, it was already early this morning.

Two or three hours didn't give him much time to think, except for a slight jet lag.

therefore,

It wasn't until the woman grabbed his wrist and he saw the face of his mother's old friend with his own eyes that Hondou Eisuke truly realized it.

Why did Rum, who had many subordinates, let him, who was still Yi Dali at the time, to carry out this mission?

However, after knowing this, he felt only pain.

Before arriving at the first floor of the Fuyu Hotel, Hondou Eisuke actually struggled and hesitated in his heart, but...

Looking at his mother's old friend who was carefully dismantling the bomb device in the computer bag, Hondou Eisuke let out a sigh of relief.

Who would have thought that after reaching the first floor,

This old friend of his mother actually gave him an injection of muscle relaxant, then held up the sliding computer bag with one hand and dragged him to the utility room with the other hand.

Then they carefully checked his entire body and searched out all his weapons, equipment and communicators.

The choking smell of cigarettes kept drifting in through the cracks in the door and windows, making the already narrow space seem even more depressing and stuffy.

At this moment, a core member of Mingjing who was covering his mouth and nose with a wet cloth suddenly heard the sound of approaching footsteps outside the door.

"somebody is coming."

The member shouted softly, and the woman who was dismantling the critical part frowned and looked up at one of the subordinates.

Being stared at by such gazes, the Mingjing member hurriedly looked down at the small signal jammer in his hand and raised his hand to indicate that there was no problem with the instrument.

As soon as he confirmed that the computer bag in Hondou Eisuke's hand was a disguised bomb, he activated the signal blocker.

According to the display screen, the signal blocker is still working normally.

Upon seeing this, the other core members of Mingjing put their minds at ease.

But then, they became nervous again, and even more so than before.

If it was in the air before, now it is above the clouds, the kind that can come out of the throat in the next second.

It was because the footsteps that were getting closer and clearer enough for everyone to hear stopped exactly at the door of the utility room.

"Boom! Boom~"

"Excuse me, is there anyone inside?"

The silence in the room made the sudden knock on the door particularly irritating.

The questions that followed made the hearts of the Mingjing members in the room tense like a thin string stretched to the limit.

If you look closely, you can see beads of sweat on some people's foreheads.

"Someone, is it the police?"

"Great, then quickly open the door and rescue us. We are trapped in the utility room and this damn door won't open."

Hearing the excited shouts coming from inside the door, Kiku Masamune held his cell phone in one hand and a gun in the other.

On the external speakerphone, Chaoxiang, who recognized the police's identity, paused deliberately and said:

"I'm sorry, I don't have any lock-picking tools with me. For your safety, I'm going to force the door open.

Please stay away from the door and don't get too close to avoid getting hurt when breaking the door."

The core members of Mingjing inside the door looked at each other and retreated to the corner. Then, several kicking sounds were heard.

But they didn't know whether it was because the door was too strong or the person outside was too thin. They only saw that the door was kicked several times from the outside, but it still didn't move at all.

Instead, there was a clear and audible panting sound coming from outside the door.

"Sorry... huh... huh... I'll go... find my colleagues to rescue you... huh... please hold on a little longer..."

After saying that, there was the sound of hurried footsteps running away into the distance.

After a few seconds, it could no longer be heard.

Inside the door, the Mingjing members, with their ears pricked up, heard the silence outside return. Their hearts in their throats could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The woman who had been busy defusing the bomb also completed the most critical step of defusing the bomb at this time.

She carefully removed a solid explosive as big as two bricks from the intricately structured computer bag.

"Okay, let's go."

Lilia Callisto stood up and spoke to a group of subordinates who were looking at her.

"What about this kid?

He is a member of the Crows, are you planning to let him go alive?"

The tall and thin man holding the signal jammer asked his boss with a serious expression.

The teenager was carrying guns and ammunition with him, and it was obvious that he was not a simple victim who knew nothing about the incident.

Instead, they belonged to the same organization as the two groups that attacked them.

Even if we can't do anything about him, we can at least take him back and get some information.

Thinking back to the two companions who unfortunately died at the hands of the crow, the tall and thin man couldn't help but reveal a hint of grief and anger in his eyes.

Lilia Callisto sighed softly when asked:

"He's not from the Crows."

"How is it possible? Look at him, he is only 17 or 18 years old, but he has so many sophisticated weapons and equipment.

And that bomb structure.

Who else could it be except a killer raised by a dark organization like the Crows? "

Who else would target them like this?

The tall, thin man was filled with anger and confusion.

He didn't know why his boss would be so lenient towards a teenager who wanted to blow them all up.

Those who died in the crow attack yesterday were their companions who had supported each other all the way to today.

The tall and thin man's voice, which was almost a roar, was mixed with a strong sense of grievance and confusion.

In response, Hondou Eisuke lowered his head and clenched his weak hands at his legs into fists.

Not even a word was uttered.

“He is not from the Crows, his father is an excellent CIA agent, and his mother is a close friend whom I have known for many years.

A person who is much smarter and wiser than me, and also one of the founders of the Mingjing organization."

The bright-colored woman with delicate makeup and hair explained to her subordinates earnestly, her gentle tone just as Hondou Eisuke remembered.

But compared to memory, Lilia Callisto, who is over 40 years old, is no longer young, and no matter how exquisite her makeup and hairstyle are, they cannot hide the silver threads in her hair.

And the extremely obvious wrinkles at the corners of the eyes when she smiles gently with a nostalgic look.

"Although I don't know why he is here in this way, I believe he is definitely not a member of the Crows."

How could a child raised by such upright and kind parents voluntarily become a member of a dark organization like the Crows?

Even if it is true now, there must be some unavoidable reasons behind it.

The tall and thin man stood there in astonishment. The other members of Mingjing were also surprised and subconsciously looked at Hondou Eisuke.

Without exception, all they could see was a furry head.

"What should I do?"

Someone among Mingjing's core members asked this question.

If we don't take him back for interrogation, are we just going to leave him here alone?

What if the fire breaks out before the policeman brings his men over?

Putting aside the question of whether this guy is a member of an organization or an undercover agent, it is possible that the boss was deceived by this guy.

Even if we take a step back and say that this guy is really an undercover agent and his boss didn't misjudge him, what if the people from that organization find him before the police arrive?

When the time comes and they ask about the mission, they can't just say that they were all blind, subdued the people, used muscle relaxants, and took away the weapons.

Just defuse the bomb, then wave your sleeves and walk away.

This argument may fool a fool, but how could those crows be fools?

He is the uncrowned king of the arms smuggling market and one of the top forces in the underworld.

Lilia Callisto looked at her friend's son who was keeping silent and said:

"Take him out first."

"But if we take them out like this, will the Crows find out that something is wrong?"

Another member of Mingjing's core team spoke up.

For a mission like this, Crow would never send out just an underage boy like this.

Moreover, he was a guy recruited from outside.

Not to mention other people outside, there will always be someone to provide support or surveillance.

What would this kid do if he was seen?

"We'll discuss this matter when we get back."

Lilia Callisto made the final decision.

Even if the core members of Mingjing had other ideas, they all fell silent.

Hondou Eisuke, who was originally sitting on the ground, was helped up by a stronger member of the Meikuei member and walked towards the door.

Lilia Callisto put away her tools and walked in front.

In those gray-blue eyes, there was a determination that had already been made.

In fact, although she said she was discussing it, she had already made up her mind behind the scenes.

No matter what Hondou Eisuke planned, she would not let him return to that organization.

Sophia lost her husband, her daughter died, and even she herself had unfortunately gone to heaven.

This child is the only treasure Sophia left in this world.

No matter what, we can't fail here, fail in the hands of... the crow.

Hondou Eisuke kept his head down as he was supported and walked forward.

Just as Lilia Callisto placed her hand on the door handle of the utility room, he suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice, as if he had used up all his strength, trembling:

"Don't open the door!"

"That man just now was not a policeman."

The group of people who were walking towards the door stopped at once and looked at Hondou Eisuke.

He met a pair of red eyes that showed he had gone through a long struggle.

"The person who just knocked on the door is from the organization."

Hondou Eisuke repeated it again and then lowered his head again.

"The positioning device on me is ineffective against ordinary signal jammers."

"When that person knocked on the door and spoke, there was also a code word hidden in it."

Translated, it means don't get close to the door, there is a trigger bomb outside the door.

After hearing the explanation, all the Mingjing members broke out in cold sweats.

Only Lilia Callisto remained calm and turned to look at Hondou Eisuke with an increasingly gentle look in her eyes.

Not far from the door,

Kiku Masamune, who was standing half sideways behind a pillar, only heard the sound of a door opening, followed by a deafening explosion.

However, after the smoke cleared, a group of people covering their mouths and noses walked out unharmed.

Outside the hotel, the sound of an explosion, different from the sound of a fire, instantly drew the attention of everyone near the cordon.

The captain of the fire brigade naturally thought that the fire had burned the electrical box or the natural gas pipeline. He frowned and raised his pager to inquire about the situation inside.

Police officers including Jinpei Matsuda who knew the inside story guessed that this was a trick of the organization.

However, no matter how anxious they were, they were still stopped outside the cordon by the fire brigade.

From the moment he saw Kiku Masamune go in, Matsuda Jinpei wanted to follow him in, but as soon as he got close, he was stopped by the captain of the fire brigade who looked him up and down.

Even though Jinpei Matsuda took out his police handbook and told him that he was a police officer, he was not allowed to pass.

Even Kenji Hagiwara, who was always successful in social situations, was blocked by the other party just as he started to talk.

"Hagiwara Kenji, right? I've heard of you."

The young captain of the Mobile Fire Squad looked at Hagiwara Kenji, then at Matsuda Jinpei:

"My cousin from my uncle's family is also a police officer in the Metropolitan Police Department. He told me that there is a famous twin bomb disposal team in the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team of the Security Department.

One of them, Kenji Hagiwara, was not wearing protective clothing when he was performing bomb disposal operations, and was nearly killed by a bomb that suddenly exploded.

Just as Hagiwara Kenji showed a smile on his face and tried to get closer to the other person, his face froze instantly. Guessing what the other person would say next, he closed his eyes in despair, with a look of despair on his face.

“Although there is no danger of bomb disposal here, fire is ruthless, so people like you who are not wearing protective clothing should stay outside.

Firefighting and rescue should be left to professionals.”

"If I let you in, I won't be able to explain to the Metropolitan Police Department if something happens."
