Chapter 508 Escape

Chu tu tu tu——

bang bang bang-

The flashlight had fallen to the ground sometime earlier.

The light was directed at the wall, casting only a faint glow, yet the dark space was as bright as day.

Because within this passage, the jet of energy and the flames from the gun barrels never dissipated.

It was naturally Qi Ming who created it.

Actually, after the first two machine guns emptied their magazines, Nail Mouth was already riddled with holes.

However, Qi Ming had his eyes closed and couldn't see anything at the time.

Then he just kept pulling out all sorts of weapons and throwing them forward, physically vaporizing the nail mouth.

He's whipping a corpse—no, he's whipping the air now.

"..."

Vermouth and Shinichi Kudo's faces flickered in the firelight, their fear having completely dissipated two minutes earlier.

Shinichi Kudo pointed at Qi Ming's back and looked at Vermouth with a confused expression, asking her a question.

"Has he always been like this within the organization?"

"……Roughly the same."

Shinichi Kudo paused for a moment, glanced at Vermouth, and then tentatively asked.

"So what exactly is the background of your organization's leader? He recruited such a restless person as Qi Ming. Can he really control him?"

Shinichi Kudo always felt that the mastermind behind the brewery was probably not a simple person either.

Vermouth shrugged.

"...Who knows?"

The former boss said that his background was both very powerful and not very powerful.

After all, Japan's richest man is indeed very powerful to ordinary people, but he probably has no effect on Qi Ming.

If I told Shinichi Kudo that Qi Ming was the boss, would he believe me?

in front of you.

Qi Ming finally stopped drawing his weapon.

He opened his eyes, turned on his night vision, and breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the battle-damaged ventilation shaft in front of him.

The nail-like mouth has disappeared without a trace.

"Phew... You scared the hell out of me! Wasn't it supposed to be a wild beast? What the hell is this?"

He picked up the flashlight and glanced back at the two people behind him.

"Why are you staring at me?"

Shinichi Kudo chuckled and flattered him.

"It's nothing, I just think you're really strong, brother, you killed that thing so easily."

Despite his outward praise, Shinichi Kudo was actually holding back something he hadn't said.

So what are you doing here?!

Do you even need to search for fuses?

Do you need to be this cautious all the time?

Putting aside your laser cannon, were just a few high-explosive grenades enough to destroy that broken door?

Are you looking for trouble?!

When Qi Ming heard Shinichi Kudo's praise, his face did not show a smile; instead, it became somewhat stiff.

It was only then that he realized he had said he was going to play seriously when he came in to play.

But what did I just do?

Did he break the rules right away?

No, but it's not his fault!

Who told this dog to look so creepy that it triggered his stress!

Qi Ming sighed and rolled his eyes at the two of them.

"Why didn't you tell me to run? Did you want me to kill it? How could you be so heartless?"

"..."

Vermouth and Shinichi Kudo did not want to reply.

You mean you're holding several machine guns, with a few electromagnetic cannons hovering beside you, and then you see a rabbit and try to run away, right?

Seeing that the two did not reply, Qi Ming sighed again, picked up the flashlight and spoke to them.

"Never mind, let's go find the last fuse first."

The first encounter is always the scariest.

Qi Ming had already seen it all, so he was no longer afraid of anything.

"what?"

Shinichi Kudo and Vermouth exchanged a glance.

Do we still need to look for the fuse?

Meanwhile, in the monitoring room...

Emiya Masayoshi stared at the screen with a solemn expression, repeatedly replaying the scene from earlier.

His fists clenched slightly involuntarily, and his brows furrowed tightly.

However, after only a short while, Emiya Masayoshi's brows slowly relaxed again.

He seemed to have suddenly figured it out, and muttered to himself.

"Actually, it makes sense. If there's a sword, then there must be a gun. Besides, I knew all along that the Beast Path couldn't do anything to him."

However, despite saying that, Emiya Masayoshi immediately slammed his fist hard on the table with a grim expression.

"What's reasonable about this? How the hell is this reasonable?!"

……

Ten minutes later, at a corner in the maze.

"I'm sure this thing wasn't here before; it must have appeared out of thin air!"

Qi Ming rolled his eyes as he looked at the fuse on the ground.

Shinichi Kudo frowned deeply.

During this time, he had already constructed a map of the maze in his mind, and he was also quite certain that there were no fuses here originally.

Without further delay, Qi Ming picked up the fuse and prepared to leave.

Qi Ming suddenly stopped and turned to look at the two of them.

Do you remember where the fuse holder is?

"..."

"I'll lead the way."

Shinichi Kudo raised his hand.

Now he understands.

Qi Ming can be really reliable when he's reliable, but when he's unreliable, he can be truly speechless.

Qi Ming nodded and handed the flashlight to Shinichi Kudo.

This included the fact that the flashlight actually started flashing.

Shinichi Kudo swallowed hard and immediately shone the flashlight forward.

Ahead, amidst the flickering lights, a dark figure loomed in and out of sight.

It seems this is the setting of the animal realm: the monster will appear when you are just one more stick away, and it will appear again when you find the last stick.

The lights flickered, the shadows approached, everything was just like before.

The only difference was the expressions on Vermouth's and Shinichi's faces.

They were no longer as fearful as before, and simply took a few steps back to stand behind Qi Ming.

"...What are you doing standing behind me?"

"Isn't it because I'm afraid you'll accidentally hurt me?"

Qi Ming scratched his head in confusion.

"What accidental injury? I'm trying to escape right now... So you're planning to run away?"

The two didn't immediately grasp the meaning behind Qi Ming's words, but they nodded.

"Okay, ready."

"Alright, let's go!"

Then... they saw Qi Ming turn and run away.

"Eh?"

After realizing what had happened, Shinichi Kudo looked at Vermouth with a puzzled expression.

Why did he run away?

"...I don't know either?"

"Hoohoho!"

Nailmouth let out a beast-like roar, and Vermouth and Shinichi Kudo were filled with immense fear as they watched Nailmouth running towards them. They turned and ran after Qi Ming.

As they followed Qi Ming's footsteps, the two cursed inwardly.

Why are we still running away?

Can't you just fix that nail head?
