Illimitable Until Death Chapter 195

Chapter 195

Next day, early morning.

Due to Shirayuki’s departure for the training camp at Mount Osore, it was natural that the Yamato Nadeshiko wouldn’t be waiting for Fang Li outside the boys’ dormitory today.

However, just like before, Shirayuki sent an SMS on time to wake up the soundly sleeping Fang Li and prompt him to get ready for school. Although this was something an alarm clock could easily handle, Shirayuki seemed to enjoy playing the role of an alarm clock, making Fang Li feel too embarra.s.sed to set an alarm on his own cell phone.

Thus, after being awakened by Shirayuki’s SMS, Fang Li yawned and began to freshen up. As always, Fang Li took precisely ten minutes to wash up and came out of the dormitory on time.

Originally, he could take the bus to Butei High, but Shirayuki preferred leisurely walking, claiming it was to exercise her body. But in reality, she just wanted to spend some quality time alone with Fang Li, as she accidentally let slip one time.

“If we take the bus, then there’s no way we can enjoy our time together, right, Li-Kun?”

And so, Fang Li had never taken the bus to Butei High, even when Shirayuki wasn’t around.

Today was no exception.

“Butei a.s.sa.s.sin, huh?” While walking on the road to Butei High, Fang Li muttered to himself as he recalled the SMS he received last night. “Is this a criminal warning or a threat?”

The SMS clearly informed Fang Li that the Butei a.s.sa.s.sin had set their sights on him.

“But the Butei a.s.sa.s.sin has already been arrested.”

This was common knowledge among all Butei High students.

“In that case, could it be a copycat?”

Fang Li leaned more toward this theory.

According to rumors, when the Butei a.s.sa.s.sins targeted someone, they usually installed a bomb on the target’s means of transportation to restrict their movement. Then, they used a remote-controlled vehicle equipped with a submachine gun to threaten and relentlessly pursue the target.

In such a scenario, the fate of the target usually had only two outcomes.

One: Death by the bomb explosion.

Two: Shot to death by the submachine gun.

Of course, there was also a third possibility: encountering a traffic accident while being pursued and ultimately being chased to death.

This had been the modus operandi of the Butei a.s.sa.s.sin.

“And if the attack I experienced yesterday evening was indeed carried out by this so-called Butei a.s.sa.s.sin, then it could only be a copycat.”

At least, Fang Li hadn’t heard of the Butei a.s.sa.s.sin training wolf packs to attack their targets.

“In any case, it’s certain that I am being targeted.”

Sooner or later, the mastermind behind this would make their move against Fang Li.

“Fortunately, Shirayuki is away at the training camp.”

That way, Fang Li wouldn’t need to worry about innocent bystanders being affected.

However, reality mercilessly shattered Fang Li’s thoughts.

“Ding Ling Ling!”

Just as Fang Li was about to put away his cell phone, it suddenly rang.

The caller ID on the cell phone displayed the name of the a.s.sault Division’s instructor.

“Ranbyou?”

Fang Li frowned and answered the call and as soon as he picked up, Ranbyou’s impolite voice came through the phone.

“Head to the rooftop of the a.s.sault Division’s building right now!”

Hearing this, Fang Li understood the situation.

The Incident had occurred.

The next moment, Ranbyou’s voice confirmed Fang Li’s thoughts.

“Hurry to the Butei High’s bus; it’s been rigged with a bomb. It’s running on the road like an untamed horse. Get there quickly and prepare to take action!”

…

Inside the elevator of the a.s.sault Division building, Fang Li pressed the b.u.t.ton to go to the rooftop while recalling the conversation he had with Ranbyou earlier.

“The hijacked bus is a Butei-exclusive school bus, and all the pa.s.sengers are Butei. However, a bomb that detonates when the bus slows down has been installed. It seems there are other long-distance controlled vehicles nearby, monitoring and pursuing the bus. If I’m not mistaken, those vehicles should be armed.”

“First, they install the bomb, then they use a vehicle equipped with weapons to chase the target. And the target is Butei. Without a doubt, it’s a copycat imitating the Butei a.s.sa.s.sin.”

“However, on our side, there’s someone who seems to have been chasing this imitator for a while now. They are familiar with the long-distance control signal the imitator uses. This time, that person intercepted the signal, predicting the event in advance, allowing us to respond in a timely manner.”

“Now, the Butei who intercepted the signal is ready to take action. Hurry over there and join her in the operation.”

Recalling Ranbyou’s words, Fang Li furrowed his brows deeply.

“Butei a.s.sa.s.sin, huh?”

Indeed, the modus operandi of this incident closely resembled the Butei a.s.sa.s.sins as rumored.

However, if that’s the case, what about last night’s wolf attack?

“Could it be that both sides aren’t actually the same person?”

While thinking about this, the elevator reached the top floor, and the doors opened.

“Hū——!”

A strong wind immediately blew in, causing rainwater to splash onto Fang Li’s body.

Unknowingly, it had started pouring outside.

And in the midst of the heavy rain, there was a person standing with her back to the door, facing the wind.

It was a girl who stood just above 140 centimeters tall, unusually pet.i.te in size. The girl had very eye-catching pink long hair tied into twin ponytails, with the tips of her hair fluttering in the wind and rain.

She was wearing TNK’s bulletproof vest, along with a helmet reinforced with hard plastic and fingerless gloves. Several tightly wrapped belts were strapped around her body, and a holster for a pistol and a few spare magazines were attached to her pouch.

Fang Li was very familiar with this outfit.

It was the attack outfit Butei wore during missions, known as the C Equipment. Incidents involving the a.s.sault Division were usually dangerous, so they were often instructed to wear this outfit during operations.

The C Equipment had excellent defensive capabilities, even reducing the impact of bullets that hit it, surpa.s.sing the bulletproof vests worn by Butei High students by several ranks.

However, this Equipment, which was more suited for Counter-Strike, was now worn by this pet.i.te girl with twin ponytails, creating a somewhat incongruous feeling.

Unaware of if she sensed someone approaching from behind, the girl turned her head to look at Fang Li and at that moment, her face entered Fang Li’s field of vision, the girl looked cute to the point where one might mistake her for a doll.

However, with such an incredibly cute doll-like face, the girl looked at Fang Li with a scrutinizing gaze, her pupils crimson like red jewels.

Then, the girl spoke.

“Are you the Gun Magician?”
