As he watched the men unloading things from the ship, this was the first thought that popped into Guangyou's mind.
"Luckily, there were only five."
Kaito breathed a sigh of relief. Five people weren't too difficult for him, but the more people there were, the easier it would be for him to infiltrate, but the greater the risk would also be.
Guangyou said, "There should be seven."
Besides the five people we can see now, there's the man in the old house, and the captain of the boat.
Suddenly, Kwang-yu raised an eyebrow: "There are six now."
Just now, two men carried something onto the deck and then threw it into the sea.
The thing clearly resembled a person.
It didn't look like an internal conflict, so the five men on the ship were ruled out. The dead man must have been the captain who was steering the ship.
It's likely they just found another innocent bystander who was unaware of the situation, and then silenced them once the matter was over.
"Tsk, how cruel."
Kaito smacked his lips; he merely sighed, not feeling particularly sorry for the man.
"So, does this mean I can now just stand by and watch?"
Kōyū looked at Kaito with curiosity and a hint of anticipation on his face. If Kaito could handle it by himself, then there would be no need for him at all.
"certainly..."
Before Kaito could finish speaking, he saw the man take several handguns out of a box and immediately changed his mind, "Of course not."
They can't bring in a lot of rifles, but there are ways to bring in pistols if they are disassembled and transported separately, especially since the current controls aren't so strict.
Having a gun as a criminal and having a gun as a police officer are two different things.
Police officers cannot arbitrarily shoot and kill prisoners, but these people don't care about that.
"I have three, you have two."
Kōyū got up and stretched, then said to Kaito.
Kaito thought for a moment, then shook his head: "It's not a matter of who or how many people are together. They're all grouped together now. How are we going to separate them?"
"Yes, I do need to think about it."
Seeing that they didn't seem to be planning to split up, Guangyou said, "Then let's not separate."
After the group finished moving their things, they relaxed.
They approached the old house, chatting and laughing. They knew how many people were inside and what kind of people they were.
They really didn't think this operation was difficult at all.
"We need to hurry, emergency measures are necessary."
Kōyū took out the flashbang that Kaito had prepared and threw it down the mountain.
"What the hell are you doing?"
Kaito was startled by Kouyu's behavior.
“Their target is that house. If we don’t draw their attention, the people inside will become hostages. We might as well lure them over here first.”
Guangyou knew he had successfully attracted their attention simply by looking at the people through his binoculars.
"If you gave me a spear, perhaps I could take them down directly, but..."
Guangyou glanced at the miniature tranquilizer gun in his hand and rubbed his forehead.
It's not that this thing in his hand is unusable, it's just that the range is too short. He's not the kind of sniper in anti-Japanese war dramas who knows how to flick his gun and blow Japanese soldiers' heads off with a machine gun from 800 meters away.
If he had that ability, wouldn't it be better to make two steamed bun bombs?
If you get hungry, you can still eat it, with Peiling pickled mustard tuber, wouldn't that be wonderful?
Of the five people, three arrived, and the other two stayed in front of the house to watch over it.
"You go and take care of those two at the door, I'll handle these three."
Kōyū said to Kaito, and immediately after speaking, he entered the woods and headed straight back in the direction they had come from.
Kaito watched Kōyū's departing figure and said, "You go and hit the door, you..."
"Stop dawdling! The forest is mine, you get to the gate!"
Kaito felt a sentence stuck in his throat. Watching Kouyu's figure completely disappear, he sighed and said, "Your tranquilizer gun only has two bullets..."
In the pitch-black night, the forest was shrouded in darkness, like a giant beast with its mouth open.
This time, there were no fireflies to light up the atmosphere, and the entire forest was enveloped in an eerie ambiance.
Guangyou bent over, trying to step on the mud as lightly as possible.
There was still some distance between them; after all, it wouldn't be good to wait until they were right in front of us before making preparations, because by then it would be too late.
The other three people who entered the forest were advancing slowly in a triangular formation. They did not believe that the intense flash of light was a natural phenomenon.
They came to retrieve the golden screen that had been hidden on the island a few years ago.
Guangyou's breathing rate had slowed down considerably, and as his breathing slowed, he could clearly feel his heartbeat.
Moonlight filtered through the leaves into the forest. The three people walked slowly, paying no attention to the dry leaves on the ground, which made a soft "crunching" sound under their feet.
In this silent forest, the sound was amplified several times over.
Guangyou knew that this operation had to be quick, the faster the better. If they were even a second slower and fired a shot, it would not only affect Kaito on the other side, but the accomplice in the house would also be at a disadvantage to Xiaolan and the others.
The key point is to prevent Guangyou's location from being seen by them.
"Do you think it might have been done by that phantom thief?"
"Maybe, who knows? Anyway, let's not say anything for now, and be careful."
The three men had very serious expressions on their faces, and the guns in their hands were ready to fire.
But they didn't notice a hand holding a pistol sticking out from the bushes on their left.
