Chapter 58: Meeting
"In which direction is she? Which building is upstairs? Li Su suddenly broke free from Ema who was hugging him, grabbed Mimi's hand and asked loudly.
Mimi was stunned by his sudden attack, and subconsciously said: "Southeast, red brick building, third floor." Li Su turned his head suddenly, but there was a sea of people as far as his eyes could see. Tonight's Takamagahara, which is crowded with celebrities from all walks of life, is tantamount to wishful thinking to cross the hall in a short time.
He looked around the circular hall of Takamagaha and found another way.
Take a half step back and run and jump. Jumping up to the height of a person, he found a support point at the moment when he fell with all his strength, and stepped on a wall more than ten meters high. He began to run, using the wall as his path, as if he were walking on the ground. The enthusiastic celebrities thought that this was a new performance of Takamagahara and applauded one after another. Soon he was passing through the ballroom, and at last he landed in front of the nanmu-rimmed door at the entrance, pushed open and left.
He ran down the hallway, and he left behind the signs in the hallway. Eventually, he kicked open the gate and stood on the rooftop of Takamagahara, the piercing air raid sirens blaring over Tokyo.
It's raining. Or rather, it's not rain, it's a prelude to the tide. A thunderous roar came from the sky, covering up the other sounds between heaven and earth, and it didn't go away for a long time. It was the sound of the tide. The sound of the tide on the coastline 10 kilometers from Shinjuku City.
The ground began to shake violently, and the giant named "Earth" began to flip its body. The sound of glass colliding in the ballroom below was heard through the floors, along with the unsteady vibrations. The building began to shake by tens of centimeters, like the wind passing through the bamboo forest, and the shadows of the leaves were swaying.
The clouds are also starting to move. The black, heavy cloud pushed in like a huge wall and disappeared in an instant. The sky was gone, and torrential rain was falling from the sky.
Li Su couldn't care about this, and he searched anxiously through the neon lights all over Shinjuku District. He quickly found the red mansion and the girl on it, drenched in the rainstorm but still with a sniper rifle. The rope gun rang softly, and a hook made of special metal was embedded in the wall of another building. He jumped from the roof of the Takamagahara building, swung across the wide street at the entrance of Takamagahara, and landed on another building, repeating himself. The distance between the two is rapidly decreasing.
Away from the main street, most of the rest are sheep gut lanes, and there is no need for rope guns anymore. He leaps between tall and low buildings, as if charging the world.
He is indeed charging against the world, the world of the tide. It's not just the sound of the tide, it's the real tide. The sea has spread to the feet and is devouring the steel maple forest layer by floor. The tsunami was so sudden that rescue teams had no time to prepare, and the only thing they could do was pray that every civilian would be able to save themselves.
But someone is still ready, Fierce Ghosts. Wearing rubber coveralls and riding rubber boats with the tide, they are far more relaxed than ordinary people struggling to survive in the water. The dinghy's engine didn't turn on, meaning that they were moving completely silently, silently forcing into the snipers set up on the roof of the Snake Eight family, who were still engrossed in staring at the lighthouse-like Takamagahara.
"Get down! Kotono!! He was fifteen meters away from the girl, and the narrow field of view of the scope and the sound of the sea tide covered everything. She found neither the approaching Li Su nor the approaching rubber boat. But the dinghy was only five meters away, and it was carrying eager frogmen and powerful military shotguns! The moment he jumped out, Li Su shouted loudly, and the domain expanded violently.
Kotono hears it! She heard this voice after a long absence! Although she hesitated for a moment, she still chose to trust him, and immediately lowered herself behind the protruding concrete guardrail on the top floor. At the same time, several shotguns fired at the same time, forming a deadly barrage, but the barrage lost its target. The cement fence was cracked and shattered, but that was the end of it. The steel balls were deeply embedded in the guardrail, but they did not penetrate.
At the same time, Li Su arrived. The difference in height of the three-story building allowed him to jump right onto the skiff of the Fierce Ghosts. At the moment of landing, the dinghy was carried by the huge kinetic energy and sank more than ten centimeters, and each frogman's movement stiffened for a moment. Enough is enough, Li Su put out his hands with both hands and arrows. Within seconds, a bloody arrow shot from each frogman's neck, clutching their necks and flopping feebly, falling backwards into the raging water.
The sound of military shotguns rang out in all directions, and all the rest of the snipers were pulled out at the same time. The "decapitation team" in charge of the other directions all heard Li Su's yell. The engines are hot, and the dinghies are approaching from all sides.
"Jump off!" Li Su looked up at Kotono, who poked out a small head, and opened his arms to the sky.
Kotono suddenly smiled, with the joy of "you're finally here" in her smile. Ignoring the approaching frogmen with their shotguns held high, she sniper rifle slung behind her back and leaped from the rooftop.
The shotgun fired, and a rain of bullets enveloped her in all directions.
Unlike shooters that are talked about by ordinary people who have never touched a gun, shotguns are not meant to be fired within ten meters of the opponent. Modern shotguns retain the ability to restrain bullets while retaining the surface strike, allowing these weapons to be lethal at ranges from 20 to 50 meters. With a single bullet, the gunner can even attack targets from a distance of 100 meters. Kotono jumped off and into a deadly rain of bullets.
But she's not the only one here.
Li Su jumped up from the rubber boat with force, and a series of popping sounds came out of his mouth. The air around him shook, and the wave-like film expanded around him, and the laws of physics within the film quietly changed.
The air became paint-like and viscous, almost congealing. The high-speed rotating steel ball slows down, and the kinetic energy returns to zero. Li Su reached out and hugged the falling Kotono, and countless steel balls were suspended around them. Each steel ball was illuminated by the nearby advertising screen, shining as bright as the stars in the sky.
"You're so pretty." Staring at the girl in his arms, Li Su spoke softly. The "starlight" illuminated her fair and ruddy face, and her big black eyes that flickered. Her long, waterfall hair fluttered in the air, and her slender body was in her arms. Her scarlet lips were less than twenty centimeters away from her, and Li Su didn't know if she had thought about it, only that she lowered her head and kissed it.
Then, before anything could happen, they fell into the water together.
