Yamamoto frowned as he wiped his beloved sniper rifle, its cold gleam flashing in the dim light: "Hmph, those soldiers were indeed troublesome; their reaction was much faster than we expected."
Moreover, under their close surveillance, the slightest carelessness could expose them; they couldn't remain quietly at their sniping positions, nor could they fire indiscriminately.
He paused, a hint of frustration flashing in his eyes. "The guy I was aiming at was just a hair's breadth away from being finished off, but those soldiers pushed him aside at the crucial moment. Before I could finish him off, that kid caught up with me."
If I hadn't run fast today, I probably would have ended up like those two, going straight in.
Watanabe leaned against the wall, his face grim, and said in a muffled voice, "I thought of finishing him off. But as soon as the gun went off, the crowd on the other side panicked, and I couldn't keep aiming at the box. The mission was ruined instantly."
We almost exposed our identities this time, and now all the soldiers in Kyoto are probably looking for any trace of us.
Moreover, those two are already inside; we don't know if they're dead or not. If they're not, our base might be exposed. We need to set up a few more contact points soon, and we also need to change our contact methods and passwords.”
Sato gritted his teeth: "It's all because the intelligence from above was inaccurate. Nobody said that little girl from Nandao was coming. If we had known she was coming, we wouldn't have gone with just five people. We would have gathered most of the people in the capital."
Now things are really messed up. Not only did we fail to destroy the treasure, but two of us were also captured. This is a huge problem.
Yamamoto assembled the gun, stood up, and paced around the cramped space: "What do we do next? We can't just sit here and wait to die. There are definitely spies everywhere in Kyoto these days. We need to find a place to hide."
Watanabe pulled a crumpled map from his pocket and spread it on the table: "I think we should go to the abandoned factory in the suburbs first. It's remote there, and the police won't be able to find it for a while. Once things have calmed down, we can find an opportunity to report back to our superiors."
Sato snatched the map, examined it for a moment, and nodded: "Okay, let's do it that way. However, we still need to report today's events truthfully. The organization is too determined to kill that girl. She's been staying on the South Island and hasn't come out, so it's been a bit difficult for us to kill her."
Now that she's come to Kyoto, it can only be said that even the Emperor is helping us.
Yamamoto and Watanabe exchanged a glance and nodded silently. Yamamoto frowned. "I've heard that girl is quite strange. She's ruined several of our missions. Do you think the three of us can really capture or kill her?"
Sato thought for a moment, a sinister smile creeping onto his lips. "No rush. Since we want to catch her, we need to change our plan. There's a Chinese saying, 'Take advantage of chaos to fish,' and I think that's perfect for us right now."
Watanabe: "Go on."
Sato grinned maliciously, "I didn't want to tell you this, but I received news that the Emperor will send another batch of samurai here next month. At that time, samurai who are not competent or who do not perform well in their missions may be recalled."
Tang Yue's big eyes on the rooftop suddenly lit up. Ah, she was just thinking about how to get to Japan, and now the opportunity had arrived.
It's not her fault. Although she had seen the round globe, she genuinely didn't know the exact route. She had thought it would take more effort, but unexpectedly, she got a ride.
Watanabe remained expressionless. "Is the information reliable? Where was the person sent?"
Sato shook his head. "I can't say for sure, but to be closer to the capital, I think Tsujo is the most likely option."
Yamano straightened up. "Do you want to go back? Serving the Emperor is our mission, and we will not back down."
Sato laughed, "I'm waiting to catch that little girl named Tang Yue and return to my hometown in glory."
Outside the window, the night grew ever deeper, as if it would completely engulf their crimes. However, these Japanese spies were unaware that their chances were over.
Tang Yue originally intended to come and take the three guys back directly. After all, five people committed the crime, and they should at least be reunited, right? If she took all five back during the day, it would be too difficult to explain in such a short time.
However, those concerns are no longer present. Moreover, the efficiency of the troops in Kyoto is not particularly high; a whole day has passed, and they seem to have found no clues whatsoever.
Tang Yue pursed her lips. The sniper rifles they had looked pretty good; well, she could put them away for now. The group talked inside without even turning on the lights. However, this didn't affect Tang Yue's eyesight.
With a light stomp, a large hole immediately appeared in the roof, and Tang Yue jumped right in. "Hehe, I heard you guys were trying to catch me?"
The three men were ready to fire when they heard the noise from the roof, but before they could even fire, Tang Yue jumped in when a large hole appeared in the roof.
The three men did not fire immediately. Today, the Chinese soldiers were conducting secret investigations in various places, and there was no guarantee that there were their people outside right now. Once the gunshots rang out, it would be difficult for them to shake off those guys.
The men drew short daggers from various parts of their bodies; they were actually more accustomed to using bayonets. However, bayonets were too long and easily spotted, so they had no choice but to use short daggers.
Before Tang Yue even landed, three daggers, gleaming in the moonlight, slashed horizontally towards her body. Tang Yue dodged them with a horizontal flip in mid-air.
At the same time, he stepped back, bypassing Sato and appearing behind him. With a swift chop, Fujino, who was turning around, instantly fell to the ground.
Seeing Sato taken down by Tang Yue in such a short time, Yamamoto and Watanabe felt uneasy. However, they were warriors of the Great Japanese Empire and would never give up easily. They exchanged a glance in the darkness, their hands simultaneously reaching into their pockets, a movement Tang Yue observed.
