Isn't it very scientific to use the Death Note to kill people?

Vodka gave a dismissive snort.

As a member of the distillery, he did indeed feel a sense of superiority over this small-scale organization.

Gin lost interest in paying attention.

But the next second...

He then suddenly looked at the announcement on TV from the red Siamese cat that all the hostages had been taken into custody.

Is Cointreau on that airship?

"Huh?" Vodka was taken aback. "...It seems so!"

Chapter 418: The Winery in Action

With the roar of its propellers, a black armed helicopter swiftly passed through the clouds.

"I see that airship, brother."

"I'm in the driver's seat," Vodka said loudly.

"Approaching the past."

Gin gave the order in a cold tone, monitoring the airship with radar and detection cameras.

Chianti in the back row was furiously wiping her gun.

"Where did this bunch of scoundrels come from? Watch me blow their heads off with one shot!"

"..."

Gin remained silent, focusing instead on Vermouth's voice in his earpiece.

"Don't you find it a little strange, Gin? There aren't any police helicopters following this airship."

That was Vermouth's voice.

The armed helicopters that came this time weren't just the one piloted by Vodka—Vermouth, Cohen, and Tequila were following behind.

"It's nothing more than receiving a warning from the perpetrators, threatening to kill the hostages if a helicopter approaches."

As a more ruthless criminal, Gin immediately understood the predicament the police were currently facing.

"In that case, they must have someone monitoring the airspace around the airship."

"Send me the information about the Suzuki Group's airship."

Gin immediately replied.

—Given Suzuki Jirokichi's flamboyant personality, this first Suzuki airship has been the subject of numerous leaks and photos since its construction, with pictures of the airship's exterior from various angles readily available online.

Gin completely ignored the radar installed on the airship, because both armed helicopters were coated with minerals from the Kingdom of Vespania, so there was no need to worry about them being detected by radar... In this way, all that was needed was to avoid being observed by the naked eye.

"Found it. The airship's observation deck is in this location. Approach it from a blind spot where it can't be seen from the observation deck."

Upon receiving the order, Vodka immediately controlled the armed helicopter to approach from a specific angle.

Gin can ignore the lives of ordinary hostages, but if Jundo is also among the hostages, then he cannot ignore him.

Before the operation, he did not call or text Lin Jiashu to confirm the situation, because the latter did not send him any messages. After all, no matter how much he thought about it, the criminals would take away the hostages' communication devices after taking control of them, and Jundu, if he really encountered danger, would not be so stupid as to not say a word... So there is only one answer: his phone was taken away by the criminals.

With Vodka's steady piloting, the armed helicopter quickly arrived directly above the middle of the airship and began to descend.

The pilot of the other armed helicopter behind was Cohen.

His piloting skills were far inferior to Vodka's, but he still hovered steadily above the airship, though he had to be much more careful about altitude and distance.

"The rope has been lowered."

Vodka loudspeaker.

Gin opened the hatch directly, and the sudden gust of wind made his black trench coat flutter loudly. He squatted down and grabbed the soft rope descending from the helicopter with his gloved hand, then fell directly onto the surface of the airship through the rope.

Chianti followed closely behind.

Next up are Vermouth and tequila.

"The scenery is really beautiful."

Vermouth reached out and touched the blond hair that was swaying in the wind, and exclaimed with a smile.

Chianti glared at her fiercely: "You're really taking it easy!"

"What's the point of you just worrying here, Chianti?"

Vermouth laughed.

Although she said that, Vermouth was actually extremely anxious inside—she knew that not only Hayashi Yoshiki, but also Ran and the others were on this airship.

"Don't make a sound."

Just as Chianti was about to unleash her thorns, Gin's cold voice rang out.

Then, the four of them braved the strong winds at high altitudes to search for an entrance on the surface of the airship, and soon they made a discovery.

"Put on your gas masks and prepare for action."

OK~

After all, the people from Red Siamese Cat claimed they were going to release killer bacteria into Osaka, and nobody knows what the situation is like inside the airship now.

The four men nimbly infiltrated the airship.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

It's almost time.

Looking at the time on his watch, Lin Jiashu felt a sense of joy.

"Brother Jiashu..."

With her breathless, dazed eyes, Xiaolan looked at him.

Perhaps to cherish the last remaining time, or perhaps to avoid thinking about such sad things, she cooperated with Hayashi Yoshiki's kiss.

They might even approach you on their own initiative.

"I have good news, Xiaolan."

"what?"

"The bacteria are probably fake."

Lin Jiashu showed her the watch on his left wrist.

The girl was somewhat puzzled.

It wasn't until Lin Jiashu took off his watch that she saw the red rash on her wrist, where the watch had been, was completely white.

why?

She was somewhat taken aback.

A rash caused by a bacterial infection wouldn't possibly appear anywhere other than the watch.

"It looks like a skin infection. I think it's probably something like raw lacquer." Lin Jiashu paused here, "It's probably because the towel we used after disinfection had raw lacquer on it."

Xiaolan immediately thought of the waitress.

No wonder...!

They've already disinfected to that extent, how could a simple contact possibly lead to infection... Fujioka Takamichi didn't even sneeze, and Yoshiki-san wasn't close enough to the other person.

"Then what about us?"

“There are no bacteria at all. The attack on the research institute was just a pretext for their ulterior motives.” As he spoke, Lin Jiashu walked towards the door of the room: “The most urgent thing is to get out of here first.”

He knocked on the door of the room.

The door was quite heavy, and no matter how he knocked, the sound did not elicit any response—which indicated that no one was guarding the door.

Xiao Lan's expression hardened.

"Brother Jiashu, let me give it a try."

"……oops?"

When Lin Jiashu turned around and saw Xiaolan taking a deep breath, getting into position, and rushing forward, he quickly took a step back.

The girl, moving with lightning speed, closed the distance to the door in an instant, and in that instant, she kicked out with tremendous force—

Bang!!!!!!!!

The sound was so loud that the cups in the room bounced up.

Lin Jiashu noticed that the door had visibly dented.

The next second, as Xiaolan got into a fighting stance and kicked down again, the dented door detached from the frame and slammed into the passageway with ferocious force.

The outside was empty; there was indeed no one there.

"It's a success, Jia Shu!"

"...That's really impressive."

Seeing Xiaolan's delighted expression, Lin Jiashu's smile became somewhat subtle.

"In short, let's get out of here first."

"it is good!"

Xiao Lan's expression immediately turned solemn.

The other side is a group of fully armed thugs. No matter how strong you are individually, you could still lose your life if you're not careful.

Having finally found hope of survival, Xiaolan naturally dared not relax.

Lin Jiashu smiled as he put his watch back on.

The time has come.

Chapter 419: Coindu's Self-Entertainment (Part 2)

"Calling Cat A, the smoke generator has been installed and is ready to be started at any time."

"Well done, Cat D."

"Wait until the airship is close to Nara before activating it. Before that, go and meet up with Cat E to patrol together."

“Cat D received.”

The fully armed man answered and then hung up the walkie-talkie.

He placed numerous smoke generators in several ventilation systems on the airship—now that Osaka residents are scrambling to escape, they would probably be terrified if they saw an airship billowing thick smoke flying by.

Time to go on patrol.

After confirming one last time that everything was alright, the man stood up and prepared to go find his informant to meet up.

What he failed to notice was that a sniper rifle was aimed at him from the shadows in the corner.

Diu!

Chianti pulled the trigger.

The bullet pierced the back of the man's head and exited through his forehead, causing him to lose consciousness without making a sound.

Meanwhile, Cat E, who was on patrol with a submachine gun in hand, walked relaxed down the corridor.

But just as he reached a corner—

A large, fan-like hand suddenly grabbed him, seized his head, and deftly choked his throat.

"Well--!"

The man only managed a muffled groan of pain before being unable to make any sound due to being strangled.

But the muffled groan was still noticed by the person on the other end of the walkie-talkie, which was open the whole time.

"Cat E, what happened?"

The force of the tequila nearly crushed the militant's throat. As he struggled desperately, a slender hand snatched the walkie-talkie he was wearing on his chest.

Vermouth removed her gas mask and spoke into the walkie-talkie in a deep male voice: "This is Cat E. Nothing has happened."
