The end of the banquet
The pouring rain washed away the smell of blood in the air. The robbers lying on the ground, unable to move, had their faces covered with cold rain. They could not tell whether their companions were corpses or alive. Their hands and feet had lost the ability to move, and they could only crawl on the ground.
"Hit—" The dry retching sounds of the two people came into the robbers' ears, making their faces look even worse. It sounded no different from the whispers of the devil. They didn't know what the two devils had to vomit. It was obviously they who should vomit. Now they were piled on top of each other, and they had no idea whether the liquid flowing on their bodies was blood or rain.
The earthy smell spread with the rain, dispelling the lingering smell at the tip of her nose, and finally making Shi Yu Yueling feel better. Although she had seen blood before, it was still too hard to accept so much of it. She waved at Luxia next to her with shaking hands, and the blood stains that splashed onto Luxia's body dispersed in the air.
The two of them supported each other and walked under the eaves to look at the heavy rain outside. Everything was submerged in the rain. Everything had been dealt with, but they hadn't heard the sirens yet, which made Shi Yu Yueling a little disappointed.
"This rain comes at the perfect time." Lucia twisted her wet hair and looked at the rain curtain that submerged everything breathlessly. The rain was so heavy that everything was covered in white, and even the flowers and plants originally planted in the garden could not be seen clearly.
"Yes, magic, rain." Shi Yu Yue Ling, who was also breathing harder than Lucia, answered and looked at the distant place submerged in rain.
"Magic rain?" Luxia was puzzled. She unexpectedly turned around and asked Shi Yu Yue Ling beside her: "Did you do it, Yueyue?" It couldn't be such a coincidence that someone else was casting magic rain, right?
Shi Yuyueling nodded, barely catching her breath when Lucia, puzzled, asked, "Why did you do that?" She looked down at her soaked dress. If it hadn't rained, wouldn't she have been soaked like a drowned rat? Now, she felt even more miserable than if she'd been hunted down!
"Someone ran away." Shi Yu Yueling said concisely. She squatted under the eaves and looked at the puddles of rain on the brick floor outside. Transparent bubbles were rising from the puddles one after another.
"What?" Lucia didn't understand. Someone ran away? Who ran away? What did running away have to do with the rain?
"It was someone from the organization, but we're not sure who it was." Shi Yu Yue Ling finally regained some strength and took out the [Water] card to dry their clothes. She stood up on her knees and said, "That person reacted very quickly. When we caught Seral, he realized something was wrong and left immediately."
"——The robbers wanted to kill us by setting fire. This shows that they didn't know about the bomb. Otherwise, they wouldn't have used arson. If the fire had set off the bomb, the robbers wouldn't have gotten far and would have been killed."
"You mean, the robbers and the people who installed the bomb are two different groups?" Lucia also reacted and looked at the distance covered by the pouring rain. Serral's action will be tonight. The people in the organization will definitely be on the scene to monitor the progress of the matter and make sure that the idiot Serral has no intention of betraying them.
They suddenly appeared and took Seral away. Regardless of whether Seral was in trouble or not, they sent a message to the organization that things were not going well today. The person who stayed at the banquet hall immediately chose to retreat and observed the progress of the situation from a distance.
That person's reaction was too fast, so fast that Lucia was a little puzzled. She couldn't understand the organizer's train of thought at all. She shook her head and said, "That's too cautious. Don't you want to find a way to save the situation?"
"Perhaps the priority of this matter is not that high, and it is not worth the organization members to take risks for it. Before determining where the robbers are, I released a gust of wind. The gust of wind that spread out with this place as the center automatically dissipated after encountering a person standing on the rooftop a hundred meters away, and the magic failed. We confirmed that the person was a member of the organization and did not leave the surroundings. There were even snipers on standby in the distance." Shi Yu Yueling stretched and turned to look at Lucia who was standing beside him.
"That person was likely aware of the robbers' presence, after all, they could have been Serral's doing. The bomb planted early on also suggests the organization was on guard against Serral's backstab and was prepared to do so. He took the bomb's detonator with him and flipped the switch, but stayed at the scene to ensure it exploded and destroyed all evidence."
The two figures disappeared from their original position and returned to the reception room on the second floor of the banquet hall. Lucia adjusted her dress, but she still felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to take a shower. She stood instead of sitting on the sofa and sighed, "We are such friendly allies who love each other, but you are guarding against me and I am guarding against you."
"There is also a sniper at the scene. I'm afraid he is using it to snipe Serral in case the bomb fails to explode." Shi Yu Yueling didn't care about that and sat down on the sofa. She finally felt relieved that a troublesome matter had been solved.
"So that's why you let it rain here, to force the organization's snipers to retreat?" Luxia suddenly realized and finally understood Shi Yu Yueling's good intentions.
"Hmm." Shi Yu Yue Ling nodded, indicating that Lucia was right. At the same time, the heavy rain also obscured their figures. Even if the organization wanted to find the culprit who caused the failure of this mission in the future, they would never suspect Lucia Sofield, a young child.
"Yueyue, you are so terrifying. You have taken everything into consideration." What impressed Lucia the most was the command ability that Shi Yu Yue Ling revealed in this incident. It was hard to imagine that she grew up with rabbits. However, some people are gifted, and Yueyue might be a genius. It is much easier to accept when you think about it this way.
After finally dealing with the bomb, Fūya Rei ran upstairs and pushed open the door of the living room. He scanned the room and finally his eyes fell on Shi Yu Yue Ling who was sitting on the sofa. After making sure that she was okay, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked in to close the door.
"Mr. Albert went to clean up the gasoline in the corridor and calm the guests in the banquet hall. How are things going on your side?" Furugaya Rei walked in and stopped one meter away from the two of them, asking about the progress of the matter.
"Don't worry, Yueyue has handled it, but why haven't the police arrived yet?" Luxia picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table. It had been more than an hour since Shiyu Yueling contacted the outside world, so they should have arrived by now.
"Maybe it's because of them." Shi Yu Yue Ling pondered, not sure what the cause of this little accident was. She curled up her left hand and rubbed her lips, while Jōgō Rei stared at her.
"It's okay, the signal at the scene has been restored. Call the police again and I will let Albert contact the police. Yueyue, what about you? Do you want to leave now? Or rest here? I will arrange accommodation for you." Lucia held the mobile phone, looked at Shi Yu Yue Ling and Fūya Ling, waiting for their reply.
Lucia's voice interrupted his thoughts, and Shigure Yueling looked up at Furuya Ling and said, "You go first."
Excluding him again? Furuya Rei felt a subtle sense of dissatisfaction and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"This is Ayu's home. It's natural for me to stay here. What's wrong with me playing here for a few more days?" Shi Yu Yueling really didn't know why Jiang Gu Ling asked this question.
This answer left Fūya Ling speechless. He even wanted to say that he could stay here and play, but thinking about his classes during the day, he had no choice but to accept the arrangement.
"Oh yes, there is something I need to discuss with you." Just before Jōgu Rei was about to enter the teleportation mirror, Shigure Yueling called out to him again.
