Gin doesn't want to work hard

Chapter 219 Shooting

"Da da da……"

Shuichi Akai walked down the stairs.

His brow furrowed slightly, and the pain emanating from various parts of his body made his breathing gradually become rapid.

Fortunately, there weren't many people walking around outside the hospital late at night.

This saved Shuichi Akai the effort of avoiding crowds.

He arrived at the hospital entrance without incident.

Watching the occasional vehicles passing by on the road, Shuichi Akai hesitated for a moment before finally turning into the alley next door.

He was still wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown.

It's not noticeable inside the hospital, but it looks rather strange from the outside.

"Click."

A crisp sound came from the quiet alley.

The next moment, a gun was pressed against Shuichi Akai's forehead.

Shuichi Akai paused, looking up.

"Long time no see, Rye!"

Vodka grinned, but his grip on the gun didn't loosen at all.

"...Vodka."

Shuichi Akai called out his code name, but his gaze went past him and looked elsewhere, as if he were searching for something.

Vodka snorted and pointed the muzzle of his gun at Shuichi Akai's forehead as a warning.

Stop looking around!

I'm all alone here!

Upon hearing this, Shuichi Akai finally turned his gaze away and looked directly at Vodka.

If it were just Vodka alone, then things might still turn around.

But before that, he needs to figure out why the vodka is here.

Shuichi Akai pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked a question.

"Did Gin send you?"

Shuichi Akai didn't think he could find this place with just vodka.

Vodka chuckled.

"My brother had already guessed that you would go to the hospital."

“There are people staking out every hospital in Beika Town. You can’t escape, Ray.”

Judging from this, the other party is unaware that Kurosawa helped him.

Shuichi Akai was relieved.

The next moment, his gaze sharpened.

Vodka sensed something was wrong and quickly pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

With a gunshot, a faint flash appeared from the muzzle.

But Shuichi Akai was nowhere to be seen ahead.

Vodka's eyes instinctively searched left and right, but a gust of wind came from below him.

But it was Akai Shuichi, who had just crouched down, who attacked him with his elbow.

Vodka jerked back in a panic, involuntarily taking a few steps backward.

Before anyone knew it, Shuichi Akai had a gun in his hand.

After Vodka managed to regain his footing, Shuichi Akai's gun was already pointed at him.

Vodka's pupils contracted sharply, but out of trust in his older brother, he did not dodge, but instead chose to raise his gun and fight back.

Upon seeing this, Shuichi Akai pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"boom!"

Gunshots were fired.

Shuichi Akai's pupils dilated slightly as a bullet pierced his shoulder, drawing out a few drops of blood.

His pistol jammed.

Is it because of the impact of the previous explosion?

Vodka grinned maliciously and, without giving him time to react, immediately raised his gun and fired again.

……

"boom!"

In the deserted alley, a chase is unfolding.

Vodka kept up with the man ahead, who was staggering slightly, firing a couple of shots every now and then.

Shuichi Akai was breathing rapidly, and each breath caused his chest to rise and fall, bringing with it a sharp, stabbing pain.

The penetrating wound in his shoulder was still bleeding, and Vodka's relentless pursuit left him no time to treat it.

Shuichi Akai's vision was already blurry, and the pain coming from all over his body indicated that his body had reached its limit.

This was the first time he had ever been so disheveled.

Nevertheless, Shuichi Akai's gaze remained remarkably calm.

He kept scanning his surroundings, trying to find a way to escape.

In fact, compared to gin, vodka is far inferior in both firing frequency and accuracy.

This is why Shuichi Akai was able to run for so long despite his physical condition.

To be honest, if it had been Gin who came, Shuichi Akai probably wouldn't have run away in the first place.

Instead, they would try to find a bomb on Gin and take him to hell with them.

Vodka wouldn't have driven him to this point.

However, this can't go on any longer.

As he felt his limbs becoming increasingly out of control, Shuichi Akai became acutely aware of this.

A corner appeared ahead in the alley.

Shuichi Akai narrowed his eyes, deciding to take a small gamble.

He suddenly accelerated and quickly turned the corner.

At this point, Vodka was still behind, giving Shuichi Akai about five to six seconds.

Instead of continuing to run forward, he used a lever to climb over the wall.

Climbing over the wall, an action that would normally be incredibly easy for Shuichi Akai, has now become quite difficult.

Just the act of climbing onto the wall made Shuichi Akai feel dizzy.

But he didn't have time to stop and immediately jumped to the other side.

To minimize the sound of his landing, Shuichi Akai slowed his movements as much as possible.

"Click it."

The moment he landed, his legs buckled uncontrollably, and his ankle twisted instantly, making a crisp sound.

Shuichi Akai frowned slightly as a sharp pain shot through his ankle.

But he couldn't care less about that at the moment; the footsteps coming from the other side of the wall were getting closer and closer.

Shuichi Akai immediately slowed his breathing and listened attentively.

The hurried footsteps disappeared the moment they turned the corner, and then became hesitant.

Clearly, Vodka discovered his "disappearance".

Shuichi Akai held his breath, waiting for Vodka's next move.

Vodka didn't realize he was best off climbing over the wall.

If he discovers this, he can take advantage of Vodka's climb over the wall to launch a counterattack.

He couldn't use the gun anymore, but he still had a small knife.

It can also play a significant role when used unexpectedly.

Shuichi Akai gripped the knife in his other hand, ready to strike at any moment.

The footsteps were sometimes light and sometimes heavy, clearly indicating that Vodka was lingering on the other side of the wall where Shuichi Akai had disappeared.

After a while, the footsteps stopped, followed by the sound of keys being pressed.

Vodka seemed to be preparing to contact someone.

The image of Gin instantly flashed into Shuichi Akai's mind.

Vodka might not realize his own little trick, but Gin certainly will!

It was clearly impossible to leave so easily.

Shuichi Akai gave a bitter laugh, but his hand tightened around the knife.

Just then, he heard soft footsteps behind him.

These deliberately lowered footsteps...

The person is not good!
