Riverwood, with his extensive battlefield experience, immediately understood, reached for his waist, and pulled out a grenade.
Although cooperation is important.
However, in dangerous situations, her primary task is to ensure Shirakawa Natsu's safety, and throwing a grenade before entering a room where there might be enemies is the most common tactic.
Creekwood gripped the grenade tightly, preparing to pull the pin.
Suddenly the door was opened halfway.
Arishima Akasaka, his eyes still heavy with sleep, appeared in the doorway and looked at Shirakawa Natsu: "Ah, it's not four o'clock yet."
She was yawning and rubbing her eyes as she spoke.
Shirakawa Natsu, Miyuki, and Keiki looked at each other in bewilderment.
Goodness, how do you manage to sleep like that?
Arishima Akasaka then noticed Riverwood standing to the side, seeing her carrying a submachine gun and holding a grenade. After a brief moment of surprise, he resumed his polite smile.
"Hello, you must be the helper Mr. Shirakawa mentioned."
As she spoke, her gaze lingered on the woman's gear, and she exclaimed in admiration, "So professional."
She extended her hand: "My name is Arishima Akasaka, nice to meet you."
Xi Mu, who followed Yamagishi Hika to make a living, was quite knowledgeable, but she was still confused at this moment, her fingers still on the fuse.
What do you mean by reaching out your hand?
To display magnanimity?
Ximu silently put away the grenade and reached out to touch her hand briefly.
They can remain calm and composed when faced with a grenade that is about to be pulled.
This beautiful woman is also a ruthless and powerful figure.
Shirakawa Natsu put aside her contempt; Arishima Akasaka was indeed the man who had come to kill the yakuza chairman.
Being able to sleep under such circumstances and remain calm in the face of a grenade is a composure that few can match.
"Come in, let's talk." Arishima Akasaka waved to the group and then took out his phone, intending to send a message to the director.
But they found there was no signal.
"What a nuisance." Arishima Akasaka put away his phone; in the Eastern Country, it was extremely common for phones to have no signal.
Several people sat down.
"Due to the special circumstances, I will not entertain you." Arishima Akasaka knew that Shirakawa Natsu already knew that this was a script.
She no longer felt any psychological pressure, and now she just relies on their mutual understanding to perform freely.
"Let's get down to business." Shirakawa Natsu sat up straight, already considering Arishima Akasaka as a negotiable opponent.
“My men have arrived and are all outside. I plan to take advantage of the Jiyi Society’s lack of preparedness tonight and crush them in one fell swoop.”
"Shall we take action tonight?" Arishima Akasaka frowned upon hearing this.
She was quite tired after traveling all day.
However, her basic professionalism as an actress kept her alert, and she asked seriously, "How many people did you bring?"
“We have 20 professional soldiers,” Shirakawa Natsu replied earnestly. “They are all on standby outside.”
Arishima Akasaka frowned.
When he mentioned 20 people, I knew he was making it up. It's already quite impressive that he could find one female military enthusiast in such a short time; where would he conjure up 20 people?
Arishima Akasaka glanced at Shirakawa Natsu with a hint of reproach in his eyes.
Although everyone knows it's all an act.
But you should have underreported the number. You started with 20 people. How are we supposed to respond? And won't it be exposed when the camera starts filming outside?
Seeing the obvious displeasure in her eyes, Shirakawa Natsu quickly explained, "Although there are only 20 people, they are all mercenaries who have been on the battlefield. Their equipment is overwhelming for these gangs, so completing the mission will not be difficult."
After he finished speaking, he nodded to Riverwood: "Tell us about our weapons and equipment."
He knew nothing about military affairs and dared not reveal anything that might expose the truth.
Riverwood nodded and said to Arisaka Arishima, "We are equipped with assault rifles, precision rifles, two snipers, two small military reconnaissance drones, and a small grenade launcher with five small grenades. Of course, the grenade launcher can only be used as a last resort."
Shirakawa Natsu was astonished. Good heavens, no wonder they are Hikaru's elite mercenaries.
This equipment is already at the special forces level.
He noticed, however, that Akasaka Arishima did not show any surprise on his face; instead, he frowned.
"Miss Arishima, isn't all this equipment enough to wipe out those gangsters?" Shirakawa Natsu failed to show off.
This is quite puzzling.
“If we're just dealing with ordinary gangsters, that's enough,” Arishima Akasaka said seriously. “But our opponents are not ordinary people!”
A big question mark appeared on the river log.
Shirakawa Natsu shuddered and looked at Miyuki, seeing the same astonishment in her eyes.
Others may not know, but they are well aware that monsters truly exist in this world.
Although they were so rare that he often overlooked their existence.
However, the upper and lower limits of monsters are extremely exaggerated.
Mi no Kumi has dog demon blood, but her only advantage is her keen sense of smell.
Foxes can affect human vision, thus achieving a state of invisibility.
Shirakawa Natsu's face grew increasingly grim as she stared at Arishima Akasaka: "What... do you mean by 'unusual'?"
Arishima Akasaka also lowered his voice: "Ninja!"
“?” Shirakawa Natsumi.
“?” Mi Zhi Shi.
“?” Xi Mu.
Seeing Shirakawa Natsu's face turn pale and then red, Akasaka Arishima thought to herself that he was a great actor and it was a shame he wasn't an actor. She also got into character: "Actually, the Yoshigi-kai is just a front. Their real identity is a ninja family!"
"Pfft." Ximu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Is this the kind of humor that's popular these days?"
Arishima Akasaka cast a reproachful look at him; this guy was really unprofessional.
Shirakawa Natsu and Mino Shiki both frowned.
If monsters really exist, then isn't it reasonable for ninjas to exist as well?
Seeing that the three people's gazes didn't seem to be joking, Xi Mu frowned as well. She knew Shirakawa Natsu's identity.
Could there truly be mysterious forces in this world that she is unaware of?
In an instant, she was plunged into a process of reshaping her worldview.
"I apologize, Ms. Akasaka Arishima. My apologies for being so abrupt. This is beyond our control." Shirakawa Natsu stood up abruptly and said to Ximu:
"Fall back, head back to Tokyo immediately."
He had thought it through clearly; there was no need to offend any potential supernatural forces just to establish his authority.
There are countless instances of this in novels, where fully armed soldiers are easily killed.
"Ah? Okay!" Ximu nodded and followed behind him.
"Huh?" Arishima Akasaka saw the three turn and leave, and hurriedly chased after them. They had just reached a crucial point in the performance, how could they just leave like that? "Don't go!"
As soon as she stepped out the door, she saw the corridor filled with mercenaries holding submachine guns, forming a three-three formation, protecting Shirakawa Natsu and Miyuki in the middle, preparing to leave.
Chapter 675 First Shot
In the makeshift photography studio, the assistant was woken up by an alarm clock. He rubbed his eyes, took out his phone, and saw that it was 2:30 a.m.
My mind cleared up a bit.
We're currently filming a prank show, and it's time to start the script.
He looked up at the monitor, but saw that there was nothing displayed on it.
"Strange?" The assistant turned around and walked to the director's side: "Director, director, it's time!"
The director rubbed his eyes: "Oh, is it time?"
He has arranged for staff to dress up as ninjas and gangsters and deliberately stage a gunfight outside Shirakawa Natsu's room at 3 a.m.
"Yes, but the surveillance seems to be broken," the assistant said, pointing to the monitor.
"Damn it?" The director jolted awake, immediately looking at the screen, which showed no signal.
"Oops!"
He had a bad feeling; the staff were performing according to the script at the agreed time.
If we can't capture anything, then all our preparations have been in vain.
"You carry the camera, we'll go outside and film!"
The director couldn't care less about anything else at the moment; he just wanted to shoot as many scenes as possible and talk to the man named Shirakawa Natsu to see if they could reshoot.
Although it doesn't align with the purpose of prank shows, sometimes you can't care about such things.
The two hurriedly carried the camera and ran outside.
Outside Shirakawa Natsu's room.
The narrow passageway was filled with fully armed special forces soldiers, three in a group, three in total, protecting Shirakawa Natsu and Miyuki in the middle.
"Ms. Arishima?" Shirakawa Natsu frowned when he noticed her unusual expression.
He wondered why Arishima Akasaka, who belonged to the underworld, would show such a surprised expression.
“Ah…I…” Arishima Akasaka swallowed hard, looking at the mercenaries in the corridor.
Although she was a complete novice when it came to military matters, she could clearly sense the extraordinary aura emanating from these people.
He was stared at silently by nine burly men wielding weapons.
Her heart was pounding.
For a moment, my mind went blank because of the overwhelming visuals.
Shirakawa Natsu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, while Arishima Akasaka's unusual expression made him seem like a completely different person from his previous composure.
something wrong.
His gaze grew increasingly solemn as he began to recall the memories that began when he first met her.
Once doubts arise, a sense of incongruity begins to emerge.
He didn't speak, and no one else dared to speak either.
An eerie silence fell over the corridor.
Arishima Akasaka's mind, which had stopped thinking, gradually began to regain some computing power.
Her eyes swept over the tough soldiers.
wrong!
Arishima Akasaka's eyes seemed sharp, as if she could see through everything. Could it be that she was actually the one being pranked?
These kinds of storylines are common in some prank shows.
So these people are actually all staff members.
After recovering, Akasaka Arishima looked at Natsumi Shirakawa again: "Mr. Shirakawa..."
at this time.
Suddenly, Xi Mu raised his hand and made a gesture.
The nine mercenaries around him instantly changed formation, raised their rifles, and formed a human wall in front of Shirakawa Natsumi.
Ximu quickly grabbed him and ran into the room behind them.
He also pushed the bewildered Arishima Akasaka into the room, and then closed the sliding door behind him.
