Chapter 986 The Almighty Woman in Black

In addition, there is a reel of black-tech fishing line inside the belly of the fountain pen.

Normally, the fishing line will automatically connect to the pen tip for easy recycling. However, after Jiang Xia got it, she asked Huiyuan Ai to modify it. As expected of a genius who could lead the research of APTX4869 at the age of 18, she learned the messy knowledge of Dr. Agasa and made rapid progress. Although she is still not as good as Dr. Agasa in creating black technology, it is no problem to just modify the existing props. And if you really encounter a problem, you can always ask the doctor for help.

So now, the pen that Gin gave as a gift has a few more buttons that were not there originally.

Jiang Xia twisted the pen body and turned the pen to "anesthesia mode".

Then he untied the fishing line connected to the pen tip, removed the original pen tip, found a smaller tip, and installed it.

This is a disposable shatterable pen tip, which will vaporize and disappear after a severe impact. There are currently two styles, one for electric shock and one for anesthesia. Without the fishing line, it is equivalent to anesthesia bullets and electric shock bullets with a short range.

"..."In short, this pen, rounded off, is equivalent to a gun.

…

Yuanshan Heye hid on the stage with Jiang Xia, hugged his knees and huddled beside him, curiously watching Jiang Xia fiddling with the props in his hands.

The light here was dim, and she couldn't really see what it was. She only saw a faint reflection flashing a few times, and then Jiang Xia stopped with satisfaction: "Alright."

Yuanshan Heye nodded nervously. She looked through the gap in the curtain at the full auditorium outside and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Is this really okay?"

"It's not a big problem." Jiang Xia looked towards the stage, at the "prince," "minister," and "king" wearing masks. He sighed heavily like a spiritual mentor who loves to give chicken soup:

"Only after they have experienced the horror of death will they give up these absurd ideas."... Anyway, with Toyama and Ye who "know too much" here, no one will die today. Scare them a little to get more murderous energy out. Besides, these assassination cycles are quite fun...

Yuanshan Heye listened to Jiang Xia's sad voice, nodded, and looked at the stage with a heavy expression.

…

Backstage, the two of them squatted in a row for a long time, until their legs were almost numb.

The masquerade finally reached its climax.

The stage was pitch black, with only a beam of pale light clicking in the very center.

In the beam of light, "Prince" Yabuki Atsushi and "Minister" Robert were drawing their swords and looking at each other, and then suddenly they fought with clanging sounds and began a duel.

The old "king" stood in the distance, acting as the mastermind who "sits on the mountain and watches the fight between tigers", but he was secretly excited in his heart - the scene he most anticipated was about to come.

…

The center of the duel.

Robert, dressed in minister's attire and holding a sword in his hand, was equally nervous and excited.

Originally, he was the one who played the prince.

However, after discovering that the retractable prop sword was replaced with a real sword, Robert immediately found an excuse and exchanged roles with Yabuki Atsushi, intending to take the opportunity to kill the creditor.

In this case, Robert himself is just an actor who is dedicated to his acting, and the real murderer would be the guy who changed the sword.

——Go to hell, Yabuki!

Robert stabbed out with his sword with a grim smile. The tip of the sword flashed a cold light and stabbed the "Prince" Yabuki Atsushi heavily in the heart.

…

Next to it, in the shadows backstage.

Yuanshan Heye looked at Robert's terrible strength, covered his face with hissing, and peeked out from between his fingers: "Fortunately, we have replaced the real sword with the retractable fake sword..."

As she was speaking, she heard the sound of a machine turning next to her.

——Jiang Xia pulled the trigger.

The electric bullet whizzed through the air and collided with the tip of the sword right before and after the place where Yabuki Atsushi was stabbed.

The bullet tip pierced through the clothes and touched the skin.

"Prince" Yabuki Atsushi suddenly screamed, lost consciousness, and fell to the ground with a thud.

…

Almost at the same time, in the audience seats in front of the stage.

A high school detective from Osaka showed a vigilant expression.

Hattori Heiji frowned as he looked at the motionless "Prince" lying on the ground, adjusted the earphones beside his ears, and asked the agent who asked him to come over to investigate: "Isn't this a pantomime? The scream just now..."

The agent was not as perceptive as Hattori Heiji. She sighed and said, "Maybe the actor was too nervous. Robert, who plays the role of the 'Prince', has a lot of experience in the entertainment industry, but this is his first time acting in a stage play. Maybe he accidentally forgot."

“… Forgot?”

Hattori Heiji always felt that something was wrong: he recalled what happened just now before the prince fell to the ground, and felt as if he saw a reflection that shouldn't exist.

——It was as if something shot towards Robert from somewhere else at the same time as Robert was stabbed.

…

On the other hand, "Minister" Robert also felt that things were a bit strange.

However, he was in the light column and his vision was blocked by the thick mask on his face, so he could not see Jiang Xia's "electric bullet" clearly.

He was just wondering why no blood spurted out.

Robert: “…” Could it be that the armor and costumes were too thick, blocking the blood?

Although he was doubtful, he was still on the stage. In order to play the role of an "innocent actor being used as a gun by the mastermind behind the scenes", Robert could not stop.

According to the script of "The Victory of Stupidity", after killing the prince, the "minister" has to stagger to the balcony, strike an elegant pose, and finally fall headfirst from it and "fall to death."

There will be a lifting frame under the balcony.

But just now, before knowing that "the sword has been replaced", Robert had caused the lift to be in a state of leakage in order to kill Yabuki Atsushi. After he exchanged roles and wanted to turn off the current, he found that there were staff members resting and chatting next to the lift, and he could not find a chance to turn it off.

…

So at this moment, Robert did not fall onto the lift - he was not going to electrocute himself.

After posing, he planned to lie down on the spot, and then secretly roll backstage where the lights couldn't reach: if anyone asked him about it later, he would say that he heard a suspicious sound of electric sparks.

The plan was perfect.

But before he lay down, a pitch-black ball suddenly came flying towards him from the high platform above with a sound of wind.

The moment the lights switched, Robert failed to lie down as planned. Instead, he was hit hard on the shoulder by the ball. He lost his balance with a scream, flipped over the railing and fell onto the lift.

The electric current passed through Robert's body, and his whole body was numb, and even his speech became unclear.

However, the staff did not notice the situation here, and the beam of light moved away and headed towards the last remaining king.

…

Backstage, Jiang Xia looked at Robert who had fallen, then glanced at Yuan Shan and Ye next to him: "...Good aim."

"Of course." Yuanshan Heye held another ball in her hand, raised her head proudly, and swung her ponytail in the air twice, "I have practiced it!"
