Sakaki Makoto has disappeared!

In the short second when he fell into self-doubt, Sakaki Makoto, who was supposed to stay in the middle of the path, disappeared!

"Sachio! He ran into the woods!"

The hunter behind reminded:

"Do you want to chase him?"

"What do you think?"

Yukio Hirai said with a gloomy face:

"We have no way out now. It's obvious that our eldest brother has fallen into their hands. Maybe our second brother has also betrayed us. If we can't deal with them during the heavy rain tonight, prison is the only thing waiting for us!"

"And where are his companions?"

"He must have escaped first. He wanted to sacrifice himself to protect others. But don't forget, this is our home ground!"

With a sneer, Hirai Yukio gave the order:

"Send five men to chase after him, and the rest follow me into the mountains to kill Sakaki Makoto!"

The hunters looked at each other in dismay, their hearts trembling with fear. There was no doubt that Yukio Hirai had gone bloodthirsty, and he would shoot without hesitation no matter who stood in front of him.

They were already sinking deeper and deeper into trouble. Shooting Sakaki Makoto was a declaration of war, and there was no turning back.

Bang!

Suddenly there was a roar in the forest, followed by screams. Yukio Hirai and a few others rushed over to the sound, only to see a hunter lying on the ground holding his thigh. His thigh was covered in blood from shotgun bullets and bleeding. The shrill wails seemed strange and eerie in the forest on a rainy night.

Bang!

Before the hunters could react, gunshots were heard not far away.

One of the companions fell down, also injuring his thigh, and lost the ability to pursue.

At this time...

Yukio Hirai finally realized that something was wrong.

At first, he thought he was the hunter and Sakaki Makoto was the prey, but after what happened to both sides, he realized...

The situation is just the opposite.

Sakaki Makoto is hunting them!

There were only 11 people in the team going into the mountain. Excluding the two Hirai brothers, there were only 9 people left. As a result, Sakaki Makoto only took one minute to reduce their number by a quarter. If they dared to act separately at this time, the only outcome would be death!

What is the rear guard?

Just kill all the pursuers!

“Impossible, impossible!”

The hunters gathered together and shouted:

"He's a foreigner, how can he know the terrain better than us?!"

"It's A-Qing..."

Hirai Yukio tightly grasped the handle of the gun, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he uttered a few words coldly:

"The only one who knows the terrain of the mountains better than us is Qing. He is helping Sakaki Makoto! He has come to seek revenge on us!"

The hunters looked around in fear. Their greatest advantage was gone. The twisted and rugged trees were hidden in the darkness like hideous evil spirits. The whistling wind sounded like the devil's mockery. The hunting rifles in their hands lost their effect in an instant because they could not see where the enemy was at all!

"Xing...Xingfu...let's retreat..."

The hunters, enveloped by the aura of death, lost their confidence in the fight and began to retreat:

"Let's go back to the village first...there will always be a way!"

"withdraw?"

Yukio Hirai turned around and looked at the hunter who was speaking. The hunter was frightened by his red eyes full of madness.

"We still have the advantage in numbers, why should we retreat?"

Hirai Yukio spat on the ground, his skinny face had distinct muscle lines and veins throbbing:

"There are still Domon Yasuteru's bodyguards in the village. They are all trained members of the Self-Defense Forces and their professionalism is far superior to ours! Going back would be tantamount to surrendering! Where's the dog? Bring the dog here!"

“There’s only one left…”

A hunter came forward, leading the last yellow-haired Shiba Inu:

“I don’t know where the other two went.”

The trembling Shiba Inu huddled at its owner's feet, with its tail between its legs. Its dark eyes were filled with fear. It had been frightened by the pack of black bears and no longer had its previous majestic demeanor.

Yukio Hirai grabbed its fur and forcibly lifted the Shiba Inu up. Its legs were hanging in the air and it kept kicking in great pain.

"Find him! Smell the scent he left behind!"

Grabbing the Shiba Inu's neck with one hand, Hirai Yukio fiercely ordered:

"Find him for me!!!"

The poor Shiba Inu couldn't understand any human language, but it seemed to understand what its owner meant. As a hunting dog, its mission was to find prey.

"superior!"

Yukio Hirai untied the Shiba Inu's rope and threw it to the ground.

The Shiba Inu turned around on the spot, lowered its head, and looked for a smell that was different from that of its owners.

Soon, it locked on a direction and ran towards the west.

"Hurry up and follow me!"

Leaving behind his two injured companions, Yukio Hirai led the remaining six people and rushed into the forest following the Shiba Inu.

“Woof woof! Woof woof!”

Hearing the barking of a dog behind him, Makoto Sakaki took out the cigarette soaked by rain from his mouth and threw it on the ground.

That's about it, he thought.

Ai and the others should be almost at the village. In other words...

The defeat of Yukio Hirai and others is already inevitable, and they now only want to kill Makoto Sakaki to vent their anger.

This kind of enemy is the most terrifying. They will risk everything, burn their boats, and fight to the death to bite off a piece of your flesh...

Makoto Sakaki walked out from behind the tree slowly, holding a MK23 in his left hand and a double-barreled shotgun in his right hand.

Death is sometimes a kind of mercy. The crimes committed by Yukio Hirai and others are too numerous to list. Making them spend the rest of their lives in prison is often more cruel than killing them.

“Woof woof woof!”

The Shiba Inu roared and rushed up the hillside, showing its sharp teeth, biting towards Sakaki Makoto.

Sakaki Makoto lowered his head and glared at it. The Shiba Inu braked suddenly, its fur exploded. Its animal nature made it sense the deadly danger in this man, as if Sakaki Makoto would shoot it if it dared to bite.

With a whimper, the Shiba Inu turned around and ran away spinelessly, refusing to look back no matter how its owner called it.

Yukio Hirai ignored the running Shiba Inu. All he had eyes for was the man standing on the hillside.

When their eyes met, Yukio Hirai suddenly smiled, and Makoto Sakaki also smiled.

The next second, seven shotguns were raised and fired bullets upwards. Sakaki Makoto dodged and hid behind a tree. Wood chips flew everywhere, but not a single bullet hit him.

"spread!"

Hirai Yukio shouted while firing a series of suppressive shots:

"Kill him!"

Killing is a common method used by hunters when dealing with large animals. They surround the prey and shoot at it. In this way, no matter how the prey struggles, it cannot escape their pursuit. Once the encirclement is formed, the prey cannot fly away.

Seeing the encirclement getting smaller and smaller, excitement shone in the hunters' eyes. They could almost see Sakaki Makoto lying in a pool of blood!

Sakaki Makoto had a blank expression on his face. He pricked up his ears and listened to the footsteps coming from all around him. He pulled the trigger and a siege formed in his mind. The positions of the seven prey flashed in the siege.

Just as the war was about to break out...

Bang!

The sound of a gunshot from the 9th person hit everyone's heart hard.

The bullet hit the tree trunk behind Hirai Yukio. He turned around suddenly and saw a group of figures appearing in the distance, including Miss Miyano, Conan, Hattori Heiji, Kid, Domon Yasukuni, and the bodyguards....

Led by...

It turned out to be his father!
