A strange smile crept across Kakutani's face. "I want to be with Chikako..."
“This…” Ota Katsuyuki was taken aback.
Kakutani quickly added, "If you mind, Ota, just pretend I didn't say anything."
“That bitch has been with who knows how many men. I was just playing around with her,” Ota Masaru said calmly. “But whether Chikako will agree… is hard to say.”
Kakutani chuckled evilly, "Does she even need to agree to something like this?"
"what do you mean……"
"Blindfold Chikako!" Kakutani said expectantly. "By then, it'll be too late even if she notices!"
Ota Katsu immediately nodded: "That's a good idea!"
Soon,
The sound of conversation could be heard again in Ota Masaru's room.
"Ota, you've recovered your strength pretty quickly this time!"
Blindfolded, Chikako Ikeda lay sprawled on the bed, a cigarette between her fingers. "Hmm...not bad...better than before...it's really no fun when you're limp."
Standing by the bed, Ota Katsumi was outshone by Kakutani and felt a little embarrassed, but for the sake of his 'revenge' plan, he could only say, "N-of course, I'm the type who gets stronger the more I fight..."
After a while, seeing that Chikako Ikeda was shouting louder and Masaru Ota's face was getting worse, he leaned close to Kakutani, whispered "tell Takahashi a message" and left the room.
Ota Masaru had no idea that after he left the room, Ikeda Chikako's voice suddenly became quieter.
Chikako Ikeda took a drag of her cigarette, exhaled, and scoffed, "Heh, Ota is really boring, he ran away so quickly."
Upon hearing this, Kakutani paused, "Chikako, could it be that you..."
Chikako Ikeda tore off the strip of cloth and gently patted Kakutani's face. "If I had known you were this good-looking but useless guy, I wouldn't have gone after him."
Kakutani, having received praise, worked even harder, like an ox that had been fed grass.
Completely oblivious to the cold smile that Chikako Ikeda was hiding at the corner of her mouth...
Chapter 102 A Chaotic Web of Relationships
At 4:45 p.m., the rain was still drizzling, and the sky was dim.
The lights were already on in the room in the garden.
Sonoko, Ayako, and the martial arts fanatic Ran all had their eyes on the same person.
"This kind of thing actually happened?"
Chu Zhong sat cross-legged on the ground and raised an eyebrow.
Five minutes earlier, he returned to the villa and found it brightly lit but quiet, with no one guarding the stairwell. So he went directly to the garden room to inquire about the situation.
I never expected that Ota Katsumi would be so troublesome. He was only gone for a little over an hour, and he has already launched one 'revenge plan' after another.
They even went so far as to claim that their previous attempts to take advantage of others were baseless and that they had been coerced into confessing under duress.
They even planned to deliberately let the bandaged man go upstairs and commit violence, harming Sonoko and others...
A fierce glint flashed in Chu Zhong's eyes.
He used to treat Ota Masaru like a human being...
Sonoko said angrily, "That shameless bastard is disgusting!"
"He should be torn to pieces by the bandaged man!"
Ayako, somewhat exasperated, changed the subject, "By the way, Chu-kun, have you found out the origin of the bandaged man?"
The martial arts fanatic Xiaolan hugged Chu Zhong from behind, wrapping her arms around his neck, and asked expectantly, "Have you found an even more powerful enemy?!"
Feeling the pressure behind him, Chu Zhong nodded and took out his route notebook: "The location has been confirmed. We'll begin the operation after we deal with the 5 o'clock attack!"
The bandaged man's footprints were extremely winding, as if he was deliberately going in circles.
Chu Zhong followed the footprints and walked for nearly an hour before finally finding the base camp.
Fortunately, I had taken notes along the way, and I took a straight line back to the villa, which only took about ten minutes.
"What's the situation over there?" Ayako pressed.
Chu Zhong kept everyone in suspense: "You'll find out when we all go together."
"We're going too?" Ayako asked in surprise. "Can we be of any help?"
Chu Zhong nodded, then said no more.
His gaze then fell on the two glasses temples on the floor; if he wasn't mistaken, they were likely eavesdropping receivers.
"What's the current situation with those three people?"
"Why don't you monitor their movements?"
As Chu Zhong spoke, he casually picked up a pair of glasses and placed them next to his ear.
"Don't……"
Sonoko tried to stop them, but noticed Chu Zhong pause for a moment, realizing it was too late. She blushed slightly and explained, "Ota and Ikeda Chikako... started more than half an hour ago..."
Chu Zhong understood.
So he was just shy. No wonder he didn't listen in even though they planted a bug.
but……
"Are you sure it's Ota?" Chu Zhong asked doubtfully. "This man's voice sounds a bit like... Kakutani?"
A deep male voice called out "Chikako" through the temple of the glasses; Ota's voice should have been thinner.
"No way..." Sonoko blushed as she picked up the other eyeglass arm. After listening for a while, she was speechless: "They really changed it to Kakutani! This..."
As they spoke, Sonoko looked at Ayako with a complicated expression.
"Ahem," Ayako's face fell slightly, and she quickly waved her hand, "I don't know about that..."
Chu Zhong didn't take it to heart. "It's not a bad thing that they have something to do. It's better than them plotting some bad idea again."
Given the prevailing atmosphere in Japan, coupled with its strict hierarchical system, chaotic relationships within university clubs, and numerous scandals involving coercion, imprisonment, and persecution, it's no secret how many times they've been exposed.
People like Ayako, Sonoko, and Ran, who are virtuous and self-disciplined, are actually a minority. However, under the influence of their surroundings, they are bound to be aroused by curiosity.
As they were talking, the time was almost up. Chu Zhong and the others left the room and went to the stairwell to prepare for the next wave of attacks.
At 4:55, everyone gathered near the stairwell on the second floor... except for Ota Masaru, Kakutani, and Chikako.
Having learned about the situation from the wiretapping, Chu Zhong and the others roughly guessed what was going on and were too lazy to knock on the door.
At 5:00 PM sharp,
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
None of the eight bandaged men who were supposed to attack were seen.
Xiao Lan, the martial arts fanatic who was guarding the first floor, turned around and gave Chu Zhong an inquiring look.
"What's going on?" Conan couldn't help but ask. "Did Brother Chu take care of the bandaged man on his way back?"
However, Chu Zhong shook his head, looking equally puzzled.
Could it be that someone is secretly manipulating things, instructing the bandaged man to hide...?
Sonoko guessed, "Could it be that Ota is up to something again?"
"We can't rule out that possibility..." Chu Zhong said, telling Wu Chi Xiao Lan to continue guarding the stairwell, and then he went to the door of Ota Katsu's room and knocked.
Sonoko, Ayako, Conan, and Takahashi followed behind.
"what happened?"
The door was quickly opened, and Kakutani appeared shirtless, with a shirt simply tied around his waist to cover himself.
"When did you get back?" Kakutani was clearly surprised to see Chu Zhong.
Chu Zhong ignored him, "Where is Ota Katsu?"
A glance around the room revealed Chika sitting on the bed, covered with a sheet, smoking.
Before he could even take a second look, his view was blocked by Kakutani. "I don't know where Ota is. Let's look for him in another room."
After saying that, he closed the door.
Just as Chu Zhong was about to have everyone open their respective doors for inspection,
"It smells... like blood!" Conan suddenly said.
As it spoke, it sniffed the air and moved its feet like a bloodhound.
Chu Zhong also believed in Conan's sensitivity to the smell of blood, and immediately followed behind him.
Soon, Conan stopped at the door of Kakutani's room, reached out and turned the knob, and found that the door was not locked, so he pushed it open.
A strong, pungent smell of blood wafted over.
Suddenly, a green figure flashed out from inside the door, wielding a large axe that swung down at Conan, who was standing in the doorway.
The sudden attack startled Conan, leaving him completely stunned.
"Ha ha……"
Chu Zhong sneered, and without any panic, grabbed Conan by the back of his collar and pulled him.
Bang-!
The bandaged man's attack missed, and the heavy blow caused the axe blade to embed itself directly into the wooden floor.
Taking advantage of the man's bent-over posture, Chu Zhong kicked the bandaged man to the ground.
Before any further action could be taken, another bandaged man rushed towards the door from inside the room, brandishing an axe and hacking at Chu Zhong.
"careful!"
The sudden appearance of the bandaged man startled Sonoko and Ayako, who both screamed in fright.
However, it soon became clear that the worry was unnecessary.
Chu Zhong remained completely calm, effortlessly throwing the bandaged attacker to the ground one after another with an over-the-shoulder throw.
The doorway to the room was narrow, so Chu Zhong only had to face one bandaged person at a time.
The bandaged man who fell in front blocked the way behind him.
Chu Zhong even had time to pick up the axe that had fallen to the ground, chop off the head of the bandaged man who had fallen, and finish him off.
Despite the extremely dangerous situation, Chu Zhong exuded a calm and composed aura, a contrast that left Ayako, Sonoko, and Conan completely stunned.
Little did they know, Chu Zhong was paying a heavy price for his show-off act:
[Consumed 300 Spirit Points, Avatar Skill cooldown refreshed]
[Consumed 300 Spirit Points, Avatar Skill cooldown refreshed]
……
Fortunately, the spiritual energy gained from dealing with a bandaged person is about 300, so the income and expenditure are basically balanced.
At that moment, Takahashi, who had been following at the back, suddenly raised an axe high, aiming it at the back of Ayako's head.
"Watch out behind you!" Conan noticed the projection that suddenly appeared on the floor and immediately shouted a warning.
Chu Zhong had already raised his hand to cast a freezing spell before Conan could even speak.
He had always been wary of Takahashi, and naturally kept a close eye on him, and sure enough...
dong dong dong——!
Hearing the rapid footsteps rushing up to the second floor, Chu Zhong quickly put his hand down again.
"drink--!"
With a side kick, the martial arts fanatic Ran knocked Takahashi, who had almost struck Ayako, to the ground.
Chu Zhong glanced at Gao Qiao lying on the ground and ordered, "Tie him up with bandages first."
