Chapter 389: Sound East Strikes West
Catherine didn't know what was going on, and after she was woken up by her sister, she thought it was Lilith attacking, picked up the cross sword standing next to the bed, and jumped to the roof of the opposite building with No. 33 and Jiang Chanji.
She drew her sword and looked around, looking around, but she didn't see Lilith as she had imagined.
She didn't dare to be careless, because if it was Lilith, she could be so fast that she could pounce on another building in the blink of an eye.
"What's the situation?" she asked in a low voice.
No. 33 didn't expect Jiang Chanji and Catherine to run out, she was standing on the edge of the roof, looking at the possibility of falling from the building by a gust of wind at any time, but she could only stand here, because she thought that the peeping was by the window of a certain floor.
Her gaze swept over the windows under her feet, and she said casually, "Someone is peeping." ”
"Voyeur?" Catherine clearly thought crookedly.
Number 33 didn't know how to answer, she didn't know who was peeping, and the possibility of voyeurism was there.
It wasn't late at night, and some of the residents of the apartment building and the residential building at their feet were lit up, and there were many cars and pedestrians in the streets, and the occasional car horn sounded.
Suddenly, there was an extremely faint sound in the night sky, not from under their feet, but from behind them, and if it weren't for the fact that they were concentrating on the enemy, it was likely that they would not have noticed the subtle sound of breaking wind.
"What people!"
Catherine's eyes were quick, and her cross sword had the advantage of length, so she turned and swung her sword to block the incoming object.
There was a clink, and something resembling a piece of metal fell to the roof.
"Shuriken!"
Jiang Chanji exclaimed.
He had seen her use this unique hidden weapon in the battle between No. 33 and Kari, and he recognized it at once, there are many styles of shuriken, and the one in front of him is exactly the same as the style of shuriken used by No. 33, which is a special system for ninjas.
Catherine had never dealt with ninjas before, and it was the first time she had seen Shuriken, a strange Chinese word that she didn't realize what it was.
But whatever it was, at least she could tell from its sharp edges that it was some kind of long-range throwing weapon, and that it was coming from behind, proving that the enemy was also coming from behind.
She held the cross sword and waited in the direction where the shuriken was flying, but at this time, No. 33 ran in the other direction, and so did Jiang Chanji.
Catherine was stunned, not knowing what they had discovered, and hesitated to follow her.
Jiang Chanji took a big step, braked his body urgently, turned back to Catherine and said, "Catherine, go back, be careful that the other party diverts the tiger from the mountain, and wake Yiyi up by the way." ”
Catherine did have this kind of worry, once all three of them left, leaving Arabella and Chen Yiyi, it would be too weak.
"Good. ”
She nodded, watched as the two of them disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye, then bent down to pick up the shuriken on the ground.
Looking down at the shape of the shuriken a few times, she seemed to understand that such a peculiar shape would make the shuriken like a boomerang, through high-speed rotation and wind resistance, so that the shuriken was not the actual location of the voyeur, but just a plan to strike east and west.
It is possible that by the time they jumped out of the window, the voyeur hiding in the shadows had quietly thrown the shuriken, and when they landed on the roof, the shuriken came around in a circle.
The peepers are delicate, quick to respond when they are discovered, and calculate their landing points correctly.
Due to her lack of experience, she had never seen such a strange oriental secret weapon, and Catherine was fooled, while No. 33 and Jiang Chanji were not fooled.
The lights in Chen Yiyi's room came on, and she probably woke up to the crisp sound of the shuriken colliding with the cross sword.
Arabela's room was still dark, because it didn't make sense to her whether the lights were on or not.
Catherine jumped to the roof of the apartment building with her shuriken with her shuriken with some chagrin, and then returned to her room to explain the situation to Chen Yiyi and her sister.
No. 33 had already judged that it was a shuriken by the familiar sound of breaking the wind before Catherine shot down the shuriken, but unfortunately she was now wearing the uniform of Momiji Academy, and there was no place to put her own hidden weapon, otherwise she could use the shuriken to shoot down the shuriken.
Just as the shuriken was shot down, in the bright moonlight, she saw a blurred light and shadow move, running in the opposite direction of the shuriken attack.
Number 33 is finally completely sure that the other party is also a ninja.
The light and shadow melted almost perfectly into the shadows under the moonlight before it moved, and it seemed to be leaning under an air-conditioned outdoor unit, and if she didn't move, it would be difficult for Number 33 to spot her in a short time.
But she could only move, because there were three people on the other side, as long as they conducted a carpet search on the exterior wall of this side of the residential building, they would find her sooner or later, and at that time she would be completely passive, so she still decided to take the initiative and use the shuriken to confuse the enemy, and run in the opposite direction by herself.
The light and shadow are very faint, if it weren't for the bright moonlight tonight and the condescending No. 33, he might not be able to see this light and shadow, just like Jiang Chanji didn't see the figure of No. 33 when they met for the first time.
The ninja ran in front, No. 33 and Jiang Chanji chased behind, the other party was very cunning, and found that Jiang Chanji's speed was very fast, so he did not jump on the roof, but walked the streets and alleys, shuttling between pedestrians and traffic, although it seemed that he could hit people or cars at any time, but in fact, he was at ease, just like a swimming fish could easily avoid the reef in the river, and sometimes he stopped and turned sharply, using the eaves and canopy to cover his body.
Several times, she threw off No. 33, which is not to say that her physical fitness or anti-tracking skills are much stronger than No. 33, but the escapee always takes the initiative, but Jiang Chanji is like a maggot attached to the bone, he can't get rid of it, he will occasionally be deceived by her feints, but the general tracking direction has always been correct, so even if she distances herself, she will soon catch up.
No. 33 and Jiang Chanji had been jumping on the roof, and gradually sandwiched her from the left and right, so that she could not turn around, but could only run straight forward, and soon ran from the suburbs where the apartment building was located to the sparsely populated suburbs.
In the empty suburbs, pedestrians and vehicles have been greatly reduced.
Jiang Chanji was full of energy, suddenly accelerated and jumped high at the same time, pulled the bow in the air, accompanied by a terrible scream, a sharp arrow was inserted into the soil in front of the light and shadow, which was undoubtedly a warning to her, if she ran again, the next arrow would not have long eyes, although she might dodge, but he still had many arrows, she could not run away while dodging the arrow, and she would soon be caught up, so for the sake of the dignity of both sides, it was better to stop obediently.
Sure enough, she stopped.
When the light and shadow returned to stillness, she was barely visible.
"Call the caller!"
No. 33 held the sheep's horn double knife, she was reluctant to fight against her colleagues, but the other party made the first move, and the other party may be a latent traitor, there is nothing to tolerate in the face of traitors, and the thought that the sect master may be injured in the hands of these traitors, she burst out full of anger.
Jiang Chanji maintained the posture of taking a bow, standing aside and watching the changes.
"Who is she?" the ninja finally spoke, "And what's the matter with your Momiji Academy uniform? When I saw you on TV, I thought you didn't join Momiji Academy, but now it seems that you have betrayed your lord for glory?"
No. 33 was slightly embarrassed, although she had a clear conscience, but being accused by her colleagues in front of her still made her very uncomfortable.
"You don't care what I wear, but I can tell you that I'm wearing this for ease of movement, and I've gotten the approval of the Sect Master beforehand. Number 33 said.
"Heh~ Anyway, now that the whereabouts of the sect master are unknown, don't you just say it?" the other party said sarcastically.
Number 33 struggled to recall the serial number from the other person's voice, which she must have heard before, but they were not familiar with each other, or at least certainly not from the same training camp.
"Believe it or not, I don't have to explain it to you. Number 33 pointed his dagger at her, "Now it's your turn to explain why you're spying on me in such a sneaky way, or I'll treat you as a traitor." ”
"Heh~ If you were me, wouldn't you have a lot of eyes when you see the most popular colleague who is currently the most popular and almost debuted in the C position in society but is wearing the uniform of other organizations in private?"
The other party sneered at each other, and suddenly got to the point, which made No. 33 speechless.
Indeed, if they transpose each other, No. 33 will also be suspicious, and eighty percent will secretly observe before deciding on the next move.
"As I said, I wear this dress for ease of movement. Number 33 repeated, but his tone softened, "I'm sorry if you misunderstood something, but what I said is true, the Sect Master has already known in advance, and when you find the Sect Master, you can ask her for verification in person." ”
The other party snorted, not dwelling on the question, "Who is she? Don't let me ask a third time." ”
"A friend. Number 33 said simply.
"Friend?" the sarcasm in the other party's tone became heavier, "It seems that your life here is very comfortable, and you have time to make friends." ”
In fact, due to their uncertain whereabouts, ninjas lurk in one place to carry out intelligence gathering missions, either return to their home countries to report or are soon sent to another location to continue other missions, and they rarely show their faces, let alone make friends.
No. 33 was speechless again, since the disappearance of the sect master, she had already reflected countless times, hating herself for indulging in a comfortable life and losing her vigilance, and now she was accused by her colleagues in person, and she had nothing to say.
"Looks like I'm right, you're really comfortable living here. The other party sneered, "When I saw you from a distance in front of that apartment building, I wasn't sure if you were number 33, because you made me feel so strange, not like a ninja, and I suspected that there was someone else on TV." ”
"You made the anonymous call?" asked Number 33.
"Who else could it be?" the other party asked rhetorically, "I have to call to make sure, and when I see you on the phone, I'm sure you're No. 33, at least the No. 33 shell, I don't know if the contents of the shell have been replaced with something else." ”
The two of them spoke in Japanese, and Jiang Chanji didn't understand a word, but he could hear that the tone of the two of them was not like they were communicating amicably.
"Ahem!" he interrupted with a dry cough, "Can you speak Chinese?"
He knew that ninjas were accurate in all their main languages, so there was no reason why they couldn't understand him.
In fact, No. 33 didn't want him to interject, or even want him to be there, after all, this was an internal matter of the Ninja Academy, but even if he was asked to go back now, he probably wouldn't listen.
"Okay, I don't mind. The other party immediately changed to Chinese and looked him up and down, "Are you a student of Momiji Academy?" Or is it a ninja I haven't seen who also wears the uniform of Momiji Academy out of some 'need'?"
Jiang Chanji is really not wearing a school uniform now, but listening to the other party's words, he guessed that the other party should have seen him during the day, and he heard that the other party's tone was full of ridicule for No. 33, no wonder No. 33 seemed to be at a disadvantage in communication.
"I am indeed a student of Red Leaf Academy, as for the matter of No. 33 wearing a school uniform, your sect master knows and agrees in advance, if you don't believe it, Teacher Li Muqin of this school can prove for No. 33, if necessary, the head of the house can also vouch for Teacher Li Muqin's reputation, if you are willing to go to the school with us, you should be able to get a satisfactory result." Jiang Chanji said, "I don't know what you came here for, you can not believe me, you can not believe No. 33, but if you even question the words of the dean, then you can go home, because you will not believe what we say." ”
This time it was the other party's turn to speak, and if she didn't believe and refused to follow them, it would seem that she was suspicious and timid, and she was definitely not qualified to question the authority of the head of the house.
"Obviously, you can easily prove my words after the Sect Master's return, but you have to talk about this, do you not believe that the Sect Master can return safely?"
"Hmph, forget it, put this matter aside for now, and let me believe you. The other party's tone finally softened.
No. 33 pursued with victory, "You have asked me so many questions, as a courtesy, it's time to reveal your identity, right?"
This time, the other party didn't talk nonsense.
In the moonlight, a figure appeared in the air out of thin air, from blurry to clear, and the body reflected a colorful black, like a thin layer of grease floating on the asphalt pavement, and finally turned into pure black.
It was not the first time that Jiang Chanji had seen the scene of the ninja appearing, and he still couldn't take his eyes off it.
The other party is slightly taller than No. 33, and the chest shape outlined by the tight ninja suit is also taller - it's not that he looks at the chest and knows people, otherwise he is wrapped in black clothes from head to toe, and his body is very well-proportioned and tight, what other characteristics can he distinguish?
No. 33 stared at the other party, and after the other party completely appeared, she also saw the secret mark on the opponent's ninja suit.
"Number 22!"
