Chapter 78 Chapter 78 An Unexpected Path
So the one who's been active these days is actually Arthas in disguise as the "Silver-haired Sharkman Demon"? No, Arthas just returned to America today.
Matsuda Jinpei immediately thought of the member of the organization known as the "Thousand-Faced Witch" - Vermouth.
He had never seen Vermouth, but when it came to disguise, he could only think of these two people.
Olga disliked the silver-haired shark demon at first sight. Before Matsuda Jinpei's hand even touched the car to open the door, she stopped him and raised her chin towards somewhere behind the factory.
"Here, you drive him and follow me."
There were no streetlights in the entire industrial park. Matsuda Jinpei turned his head and barely made out the outline of a car where Olga had pointed.
"Yes, yes, Miss." He caught the car keys thrown to him by Olga, and dragged the silver-haired shark demon Mr. to the back of the factory with helplessness.
There was indeed a car parked behind the factory, but it wasn't the zombie car that Jinpei Matsuda had imagined. Instead, it was a well-maintained SUV, the kind perfect for robbing people and stealing goods.
Matsuda Jinpei sighed and put the silver-haired shark demon into the trunk.
A Lamborghini Urus—you can tell whose taste it is at first glance. It must be said that the organization is indeed wealthy, and Olga is unambiguous in spending the organization's money.
*
Olga didn't say where she was going, so Matsuda Jinpei kept driving behind her, and even had time to send a text message to Furuya Rei.
Olga then parked her car on the side of the road outside an alley. She got out, walked over to the car driven by Matsuda Jinpei, and knocked on the window.
Matsuda Jinpei opened the car window and saw the apologetic-looking silver-haired shark demon face speaking in Olga's voice: "Wait here. I'll call you if I need anything later."
"Yes..." Jinpei Matsuda drawled lazily.
Olga walked deeper into the alley, but Matsuda Jinpei didn't bother to find out what she was going to do. He had more important things to do.
Furuya Rei quickly replied to his previous text message. It was obvious that the guy must have stayed up late again.
Tsk. Sometimes, Matsuda Jinpei really envied this guy Furuya Rei—he could still be so energetic after staying up all night!
Ever since Olga rescued him from the exploding Ferris wheel, Matsuda Jinpei's health has deteriorated considerably. He's not as out of breath as he was when he first woke up, but staying up late...
He yawned again, turned his head, and happened to meet the gaze of Mr. Silver-haired Shark Demon.
*
Olga disguised herself as a silver-haired shark demon and walked through the intricate alleys.
She had repeated this fishing behavior countless times without success. But this time, Vermouth told her with a solemn oath that Akai Shuichi was here with his FBI colleagues.
There were no streetlights in the alley, and it was completely dark. At that time, a light drizzle was falling from the sky.
Olga habitually wanted to put on her hood, but she remembered that she was now playing the role of a silver-haired shark demon, and her costume did not include a hat. So, she had no choice but to continue wandering in the cold night in this uncomfortable outfit, feeling a little irritated.
After wandering around for a long time, not to mention Shuichi Akai, Olga didn't even see a ghost.
So, she simply found a clean corner, leaned against the wall with her arms folded, and began to stare blankly.
Vermouth's plan is to kill Shuichi Akai here today as the Silver-haired Shark Demon, and then dump the Silver-haired Shark Demon's body here to create a scene where both sides suffer losses.
As for why she didn't come in person?
Olga sneered. Vermouth was currently on Broadway, accompanying Kudo Yukiko and the others backstage.
Olga rubbed her arms; her shirt was soaked through. After she stopped walking, she began to feel a little cold.
Olga didn't know why Vermouth cared so much about Kudo Yukiko. Did she really desire and cherish friendship? Forget it. Just thinking about it made Olga feel a chill.
With nothing to do, Olga's thoughts began to wander. She thought, even if Akai Shuichi really showed up here, she wasn't sure she could kill him.
Oh, she'd probably be attacked. After all, with her current frail body, she'd start panting after just a few steps, and her heart would ache if she did any more intense exercise. Her left hand, which she used to be her dominant hand, was completely powerless...
Tsk, now that I think about it, there's a high possibility that she will be defeated by Shuichi Akai.
Olga couldn't help but start to speculate darkly, is Vermouth just trying to get her killed by Akai Shuichi? Otherwise, why would she rather go to the theater with Kudo Yukiko than come and hunt Akai Shuichi with her?
After waiting for a while, the rain got heavier and heavier, and Olga's patience was completely exhausted. She called Vermouth, but the phone kept showing "the other party is busy."
She suspected that she had been blocked.
Olga's mood became even worse.
*
Matsuda Jinpei, who had also been waiting in the car for a long time and was about to fall asleep, suddenly saw Olga coming out of the alley. She had returned to her original appearance.
She looked unhappy and got into her car angrily without saying a word to Matsuda Jinpei.
Jinpei Matsuda could almost hear the sound of the poor Lamborghini Aventador SVJ in front of her being kicked by her.
Wow, you have quite a bad temper.
Therefore, Matsuda Jinpei was very conscious not to offend Olga, and just quietly watched the sports car disappear from his sight with the roar of the engine.
He checked his phone. It was 7:40 PM and there were no new messages.
*
Vermouth was originally visiting the backstage with Kudo Yukiko, Kudo Shinichi, Mouri Ran, and the staff of the "Golden Apple" musical, when suddenly, her cell phone rang.
Kudo Yukiko politely asked her to answer the phone quickly, but Vermouth only glanced at the phone screen and turned off the ringtone.
After that, the ringing stopped.
Vermouth thought Olga had changed her personality today, but she didn't expect that in less than ten minutes, a familiar figure rushed into the backstage almost angrily.
"B-Sharon Wynyard! I quit! Do it yourself!"
Olga appeared in front of everyone like this - her long crimson hair was wet with a faint trace of moisture; her black sweatshirt was fine, with only a few spots stained by rain.
Not to mention Vermouth, Kudo Yukiko and the others, the actors in the troupe were the first to exclaim.
“I didn’t expect to see the famous Olga Kriss here!”
“It turns out Olga Kriss and Sharon Wynyard know each other!”
“Kriss, I love the music you wrote so much!”
"Kriss, why don't you continue playing the violin? Ah! I don't mean to say that it's not good for you to switch to vocal music, but we music fans are all waiting for your next concert!"
…
Olga seemed to have only just realized that there were so many other people present. The more people talked, the more unhappy she looked, especially when someone mentioned the "violin."
"Arthas?" Vermouth frowned and quickly reminded her before she showed any signs of further anger.
Her chest was heaving violently, and Vermouth could see that her face had become even paler than at the beginning, without a trace of blood left.
Suddenly, she forced a perfect smile: "I just lost my composure, but I have something to do with Sharon. Can I borrow her for a few minutes?"
Naturally, everyone agreed.
*
Vermouth left in a hurry, saying that she had something to do, and asked Olga to continue to accompany Kudo Yukiko and the others to visit the backstage.
Kudo Yukiko naturally had no objection, and Kudo Shinichi didn't care either.
So, the backstage trip continued.
During this time, Kudo Shinichi had been observing Olga. He felt something was odd, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong. As a child, he had naively believed Sharon and Arthas were parent and child, but now it was clear that wasn't the case.
Olga was trying to tie her hair up with a rubber band she had found from somewhere, but she was obviously failing.
However, she didn't need to worry about tying her hair, because since a while ago, people kept volunteering to help her tie her hair, as if they didn't care at all about the cold expression she had when she first arrived.
And what about Olga herself?
The amazing thing is that even though Kudo Shinichi could clearly feel the impatience emanating from her, she still had a gentle and polite smile on her face, completely different from how she looked when she first appeared.
Although his mother is a professional actress, Kudo Yukiko retired from the film industry after Kudo Shinichi was born. Therefore, he would always be amazed every time he saw this person who changed his face faster than turning the pages of a book.
In the end, it was Yukiko Kudo who helped Olga put her hair up.
"Oh, I've actually always wanted a daughter." Kudo Yukiko clasped her hands together as she admired her masterpiece and said excitedly, "If I had a daughter, I could dress her up nicely!"
As she said that, she glared at Kudo Shinichi again, "Not like Shin-chan, not cute at all!"
Kudo Shinichi: “…”
Kudo Shinichi tries to ignore the memory of Kudo Yukiko trying to dress him in a little skirt when they were little.
*
After that it was boring time to watch TV series.
Olga sat in the audience with her head supported by one hand, with Kudo Yukiko on her left and Kudo Shinichi on her right. This seating order made her feel very uncomfortable.
Of course, the most uncomfortable performance is the "Golden Apple" currently being performed on stage. In today's world where retro and innovative trends are at odds with each other, this musical resolutely embarks on an unimaginable path - it blends Greek and Hebrew mythology!
Olga felt her head buzzing. She suddenly remembered that she had written the most important piece of music in the musical... Now that she thought about it, why would she write music for such a script...
Maybe it was because Gin had reported her to the boss, so she was "short on money" at the time, so she tried to earn some pocket money...
Oh! Gin, the root of all evil.
Olga's thoughts wandered for a long time. Just as she was about to drift off to sleep, a white mist began to fill the theater. Suddenly, she saw a red beam of light piercing the mist, connecting the stage to the balcony.
