Chapter 163: Chapter 122: Storm, Tokyo, Bloody Auction (Part 7)
"Am I... still alive?"
Su Zimai silently murmured to herself, slowly opening her eyes from the darkness.
She belatedly raised her head, staring at the Queen’s Statue bound by restraint belts. The cold blade was inches away; the dagger was about to pierce into Su Zimai’s head.
Su Zimai was momentarily stunned and realized she seemed to be lying in a puddle, the floor beneath her wet.
A moment later, she blankly lifted her head, seeing a shadow through her tear-blurred vision, holding a novel with a calm demeanor.
"... Brother, brother?"
Looking at the figure wrapped in restraint belts, for some reason, she subconsciously uttered these words.
In the dead silence, everyone’s eyes in the auction hall were drawn to the pitch-black figure dangling from the ceiling. Even amidst the battlefield, constantly threatened by collateral damage, he unhurriedly read his book.
"Is that..." Lan Duoduo was stunned.
"Black Cocoon." Oda Takashige squinted, slowly enunciating the intruding guest’s name.
"Did he save Xiaomai?" Lin Zhengquan raised his thick and short eyebrows, murmuring.
"He said ’collaborator’? Could it be... he’s the captain’s collaborator?" Xu Sanyan pondered.
Xia Pingzhou lifted his eyes expressionlessly, silently gazing at Black Cocoon’s face.
At this moment, Black Cocoon closed the book "My Little Sister Can’t Be This Cute."
Then he abruptly tugged the restraint belts constraining the statue’s arms, distributing the weight, and lightly landed on the Queen’s Statue’s shoulder.
Reaching out a restraint belt towards the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, he extended a hand to Su Zimai.
"Let’s go, Miss Su Zimai," Black Cocoon shrugged, casually saying, "I have a meeting with someone. If you die, he might take it out on me."
Su Zimai was slightly stunned, finally realizing hazily that this person wasn’t her brother, but the big moth!
Coming to her senses, she mustered all her strength, reaching her trembling hand upward, meeting the icy gaze of the Queen’s Statue, and received the wrapped palm of Black Cocoon’s hand.
"That’s more like it. I thought you wouldn’t grab my hand even in death."
Black Cocoon teased, firmly grasping Su Zimai’s right hand. At this moment, his restraint belt was already entangled around the chandelier.
Holding Su Zimai in his arms, he clutched the restraint belt, stepping on the Queen’s Statue’s shoulder, leaping upwards.
Oda Takashige looked up quietly at the scene.
"Can’t let them escape. The captain is very interested in Black Cocoon, perfect to take him to the captain."
With those words, Oda Takashige’s form suddenly disappeared into the shadow under his feet.
Instantly, he appeared on the shadow where the chandelier was cast on the ceiling, emerging from it.
Raising the katana in his hand, he slashed horizontally at the back of Black Cocoon’s head!
As if anticipating Oda Ryuuei’s action beforehand, before he could strike, Black Cocoon sitting atop the chandelier calmly said:
"Ninjas are treacherous creatures... Shouldn’t there be some bushido spirit among the Japanese to confront openly, and if defeated, commit seppuku?"
Immediately, just as Oda Takashige’s katana was about to touch the back of Black Cocoon’s head, his figure suddenly vanished from the spot!
[Has released the superpower stored in the restraint belt—transporting oneself and a touched target to an unknown place 50 meters away (Superpower Source: Superpower User "Ryukawa Yamato")]
This was the superpower of the yakuza driver Black Cocoon attacked on the Maybach, unexpectedly coming in handy now after casually stealing it.
"Vanished?"
Oda Takashige was slightly stunned, swinging the katana into the air, tumbling down.
"Did Black Cocoon take Xiaomai?"
Xu Sanyan frowned, scanning around.
Originally, both he and Lin Zhengquan were struggling to handle Lan Duoduo alone. Seeing the Auction Brigade gained another member and the captain didn’t return from the movie screen, he knew continuing was futile.
It was even... highly possible they might die here together with Lin Zhengquan.
So Xu Sanyan made a decisive move, raising an umbrella, dispersing a mist from the tip that swiftly enveloped him and Lin Zhengquan, then moved towards the auction house’s entrance.
In the fog, Xu Sanyan signaled Lin Zhengquan with his eyes: "Go."
Lin Zhengquan, though reluctant, gritted his teeth, choosing to retreat from the auction house with Xu Sanyan.
Oda Takashige, Xia Pingzhou, and Lan Duoduo stood motionless outside the fog.
They all knew the enemy’s Celestial Driver could manipulate "fog"; recklessly charging into it would be dangerous, so they quietly waited for the fog to disperse.
Not long after, as the dense fog dissipated in the auction house, both Xu Sanyan and Lin Zhengquan were gone.
"They got away?"
Lan Duoduo muttered, resting an elbow on Xia Pingzhou’s shoulder, glancing at the Deep Mountain Yeti kneeling on the ground, "But these two are strong enough to beat my Yeti like this."
"Should we chase?"
Xia Pingzhou turned to ask Oda Takashige, as the Queen’s Statue slowly walked back to his side.
"No need to chase," Oda Takashige said expressionlessly. "Our mission is complete. Next, head back to the Mirror Auction, see if the captain handled the enemies..."
Saying this, he suddenly realized something amiss, glancing around and asking, "Where are the young lady and Vampiress?"
