Chapter 269 Crime movies are all about plot twists
Hyacinth rarely confronts Heart Moon Fox like this.
Even at their first meeting, she used the tentacle monster to control him, and afterwards she completely hid behind the monster and his companions, acting as the commander, giving him very few opportunities to ambush her.
Now that he finally had the chance to fight Xin Yuehu, it was somewhat different from what he had imagined—
"Let's have a gunfight, and we'll bet on the ropes they're wearing."
The golden fox said with a smile.
Hyacinth clenched her fist, glanced at her companions hanging from the edge of the mall rooftop not far away, and then looked back at the golden-haired fox girl in front of her with a delighted smile.
Although she had a charming smile on her face and wore an Inari fox mask on her head, that smile made him feel like he had a thorn in his back.
Why not confront her head-on?
When it comes to close combat, I absolutely won't lose to Heart Moon Fox! Especially since everyone is forbidden from using magic!
But Xin Yuehu seemed to have seen through his thoughts, using hostages to threaten him into a confrontation on another level, perfectly avoiding his initial idea.
"...Okay, I'll compete with you."
After taking a deep look at her companions on the rooftop, Hyacinth fixed her gaze on Heart Moon Fox in front of her and nodded.
The fox spirit laughed happily.
The familiar moved a table over and slammed two Glock pistols onto it.
"Miss Hyacinth, do you like the shooting game I've prepared for you?"
Xin Yuehu said with a smile.
Hyacinth remained silent for a moment, then frowned deeply.
"Enough talk, let's get started."
"Hehehe, looks like you're shy. Or are you just so sure you can beat me, Fox, in a gunfight?"
The two exchanged a glance. Hyacinth glared fiercely at the golden-haired fox girl in front of her, but did not utter a word in response.
The pistol was placed on the table, and the two of them each conjured a magic bullet and placed it on the table, silently looking at each other.
The hyacinth was a little nervous.
If they want to save Nightingale, Iris, and the others, they must play this strange gunfight with Heart Moon Fox.
But what if I lose...
The girl shook her head, dismissing the dangerous thought from her mind.
No! How can you think about these things!
"Are you ready, Miss Hyacinth?"
"……bring it on."
The two men picked up the Glock pistols in front of them, skillfully disassembled them quickly, and placed them in front of each other.
Slide, recoil spring, barrel, main body, magazine, plus a magic bullet.
Glock doesn't have many quick-release parts, but winning in the speed-testing assembly phase still tests a shooter's familiarity with the pistol.
But Hyacinth has plenty of confidence when it comes to hand speed.
Xin Yuehu's true combat strength is not considered strong; her speed and strength are far inferior to mine. She wins entirely by relying on her ability to summon monsters and her strange little gadgets.
As long as I can confront her head-on, I will definitely win!
With this confidence, Hyacinth looked up again at the smiling golden fox girl in front of her.
"--start."
The familiars beside them gave clear commands, and the two of them simultaneously grabbed the parts scattered on the table and began to assemble the gun.
Hyacinth grabbed the gun barrel and inserted it into the slide, preparing to install the recoil spring, when she suddenly caught sight of Heart Moon Fox's movements, which were just as fast as her own:
She installed the recoil spring even faster than I could!
Isn't Xin Yuehu supposed to be weak in combat? Why is she displaying such incredible speed?
Is this really the level of hand speed she should have?!
We have to be faster! Faster than her!
Only by winning this gunfight can I save both the Iris Flower and the Nightingale.
Hyacinth felt that her gunfight speed had reached its limit.
The recoil spring is installed, the slide is engaged, and the magazine is engaged—all of this is completed almost in an instant!
Just as he was about to press the release button, a clear voice suddenly came to his ear:
"Snap!"
The hyacinth's movement stopped at the moment of pressing and releasing the air lock.
The golden-haired fox girl raised her pistol, the bullet already chambered, the dark muzzle pointing directly at herself, almost revealing the golden magical bullet poised to be fired in the chamber.
Hyacinth stared blankly at Heart Moon Fox, who had a radiant smile on her face.
She had somehow donned an Inari fox mask and whispered to herself:
"You lost, Hyacinth."
Xin Yuehu said with a smile.
Hyacinth looked incredulous and said to Heart Moon Fox:
"This...this is impossible...!"
"Why...why so fast? What exactly are you...?"
"Hehehe, ever since Miss Hyacinth got close to me last time, you don't think that I haven't made any progress at all, do you?"
Su Tianqing answered with a smile.
"As a righteous magical girl, you must never underestimate your enemy, do you understand, Miss Hyacinth?"
Maintaining her aiming posture with her gun raised, Xin Yuehu's smile remained unchanged.
"If you fail because of your carelessness and underestimation of your opponent, do you think you can bear the consequences?"
silence.
Hyacinth remained silent, not daring to respond to Heart Moon Fox's words, nor even meeting her burning gaze.
"—As punishment for failure, Miss Hyacinth, are you ready?"
Gunshots.
Hyacinth kept its eyes tightly closed.
But instead of feeling the pain of the bullet hitting him, he heard a cracking sound—
"Crack!!"
"?!"
The Glock pistol in Xin Yuehu's hand suddenly shattered and scattered!
The magical shield protected her hands from the exploding shards. The two of them turned to look north, meeting the gaze of the tanned figure on the rooftop who was raising a sniper rifle.
Wheat Ear, located inside the North Building, is responsible for fire support!
Her original sniping position couldn't cover the mall rooftop, so she must have made an emergency move to the rooftop, which allowed her to deliver the fatal blow at this crucial moment!
Seeing this, Hyacinth decisively abandoned the pistol in her hand that only had one bullet left, and threw a punch, attempting to take down Heart Moon Fox on the spot with close combat.
But the fox girl's movements suddenly became exceptionally swift. As she stepped back to dodge the jab, she kicked the table in front of her, sending it hurtling head-on towards the hyacinth.
"Snap!!"
The wooden table broke, and the hyacinth seized the opportunity to pursue it.
We must not waste the opportunity that the wheat has created for us!
Her incredibly accurate sniping destroyed the pistol in Xin Yuehu's hand. What I need to do is to quickly regain control of the cable from her to prevent Iris and the others from falling to the ground and turning into a pile of minced meat!
"Hahahaha! A perfect sniper shot! Miss Wheat Ear!"
Xin Yuehu let out a joyful laugh, completely disregarding whether Mai Sui could hear him, and laughed recklessly towards the building to the north.
"This is exactly the effect I wanted! If everyone just followed the rules and did things the way they did, there would be absolutely no fun! Hahahaha!"
"Halt! Heart Moon Fox!"
Hyacinth sped up its pursuit, and while it was at it, tied the ends of the ropes used by Iris and the other two to the railing in a tight knot to prevent them from falling.
After a brief rooftop chase, Xin Yuehu stopped at the edge of the rooftop, as if there was nowhere left to escape.
She turned to look at the hyacinth that was relentlessly pursuing her, smiled, lifted the mask on her face to reveal half of her pretty face, and her smile remained unchanged.
"You have no way out, Heart Moon Fox, raise your hands and surrender!"
"...Are you that sure?"
"Where can you run to! We can't use flight magic, you can't just jump off the roof, can you?"
Hyacinth said through gritted teeth.
Although I really didn't want to admit it, I did lose to Xin Yuehu just now, and I only managed to win because of Mai Sui's accurate sniping.
Now that he has pressed his advantage and expanded his gains, and it looks like he can capture Xin Yuehu on the spot, what other changes could there be?
"——————!!!"
however,
A deafening roar of an engine echoed in my ears!
Outside the building's rooftop, two coaxial rotors slowly rose behind Xin Yuehu. Cheshire Rabbit's gaze, peering through the cockpit window, turned Hyacinth's serious expression into one of shock, followed by astonishment and terror.
—Ka-52, the Alligator attack helicopter.
"Come on, Miss Hyacinth."
"This is a surprise gift that Bunny and I prepared for you~"
