Chapter 160 Akane'S Confession
A bullet hole appeared right in the center of Fujiwara Mieko's forehead, and her face went through a transformation from a smile to astonishment.
At her final moment, she couldn't understand why Kirigiri Shimizu had fired the gun.
Was it because she had sent someone to assassinate Li Xia? Even though they could have talked, didn't she know the trouble it would bring to kill oneself?
I can't die. My political ideals. I want to change this corrupt world.
Fujiwara Mieko's thoughts lingered in this moment. No matter how grand her ideals were, with a hole in her head, none of it mattered anymore.
"Madam!" Souichiro no longer had that calmness. He reached out from behind and held Fujiwara Mieko's collapsing body in his arms.
He didn't choose to attack, but instead held her like this.
"Why?" Chen Huijie stared in disbelief, turning her head to look at Kirigiri Shimizu, her eyes filled with confusion and perplexity.
"The task cannot be completed anymore." Kirigiri Shimizu's voice was calm as she retracted the gun. "By skipping the task and directly killing the target, there will be consequences. This is an experiment."
"I didn't ask you for a task!" Chen Huijie suddenly reached out and grabbed Kirigiri Shimizu: "Why did you kill her so easily? We need to at least find evidence that she appointed someone to kill, before we can take action!"
"No need for evidence." Kirigiri Shimizu held a long knife, her voice icy and devoid of any emotion.
"You..." Chen Huijie felt a dangerous aura emanating from her, as if she were being targeted by a dangerous beast, as if her throat would be ripped apart in the next second. She involuntarily took a step back.
Mizusawa Ryo's face didn't look good either, but she didn't say anything, squinting at the others.
"Kill me." Souichiro's voice came faintly, as he held Fujiwara Mieko's body, not looking at anyone. "Otherwise, I will kill all of you."
Kirigiri Shimizu raised her gun again, and a gunshot echoed through the quiet night in the room.
Kirigiri Shimizu, Chen Huijie, and Mizusawa Ryo left Fujiwara's mansion together, with none of them speaking.
Komachi Kurenai appeared in front of everyone driving a black car. Her eyes darted around, sensing the tense atmosphere. She didn't dare to speak and shrunk her head, cautiously opening the car door. After everyone was seated, she started the car and quietly played her role as a tool.
At the same time, the three individuals received a notification from the system.
"Ding, the system has detected the premature death of the task target. The 'assassination' task has failed."
"The task is terminated prematurely, with no rewards or penalties for all participants."
"The system has detected that player Kirigiri Shimizu prematurely killed the task target. Now, the punishment will begin."
"Please select a punishment for the task: 1. Randomly apply a DEBUFF. 2. Randomly deduct a skill."
This system notification echoed in the minds of the three individuals, unsure if it was a warning from the system to them.
Kirigiri Shimizu didn't pay attention to the expressions of the other two. She carefully looked at the two choices. She knew what DEBUFF meant, especially considering the thorough examination it received from a group of female researchers on Chen Huijie.
If Kirigiri Shimizu wasn't there watching, these female researchers would most likely wait for Chen Huijie to wake up and become friends with her.
After all, it's pretty absurd to be close to 30CM.
Kirigiri Shimizu doesn't mind carrying a DEBUFF, but it's not okay if it affects combat effectiveness.
After weighing the pros and cons, she chooses punishment 2, randomly deducting a skill.
"Ding, punishment in effect, random deduction of skill: No one can defeat me in my BGM."
"The speed competition is over, I wish everyone a pleasant game."
As the system sound fades away, Kirigiri Shimizu's panel skill disappears from four to three, Tyrant's Eye, Divine Fall, White Album's Scene (unbound).
Kirigiri Shimizu frowns slightly, no one can defeat me in my BGM, this skill is the most practical of her four skills.
But she quickly relaxes her brow, she had already considered many possible consequences in the instant she fired the gun, being deducted a skill was within her expectations.
Komachi Kurenai drives quickly, as a qualified tool person, she remembers the residence of the three people.
The car stops below Chen Huijie's apartment building.
Chen Huijie didn't immediately get off the car. Suddenly, she turned around and looked at Kirigiri Shimizu, saying:
"You know that with Fujiwara Mieko's influence, it's impossible to find conclusive evidence, so she had to be killed in order to protect Li Xia from further attacks.
This way, everyone will know the importance of this young man to you and won't dare to act rashly.
At the same time, all attention will be focused on you, and no one will care about an irrelevant university student.
That's why the risk of being punished by the system was taken to kill Fujiwara Mieko first, right?"
The system has a certain blocking function, so they speak in this way without worrying about being heard by Komachi Kurenai.
Kirigiri Shimizu glanced at her, her voice without any fluctuation: "This is an experiment, and under the current situation, it's the best choice. There's a chance of obtaining a reward by directly killing the target, and even if punished, we can understand the system's mechanism."
After listening to her words, Chen Huijie's face became even more unpleasant. She gave her a deep look and then gritted her teeth before getting off the car.
As the car started again, Mizusawa Ryo suddenly crossed her legs, her expression carrying a hint of mockery.
"Hey, our dark reaper, when did you start explaining yourself for your actions? So rare."
Kirigiri Shimizu didn't even bother with her and started to relax with closed eyes.
"Hey, I arrived first!" Mizusawa Ryo immediately protested.
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Akane pulled back her foot and directly reached into Li's little boot, her eyes curving into a crescent moon as she smiled. "Li, want me to clean it up for you?"
Li Xia, not in the mood, glanced at her. "Don't point at your mouth, please use a warm towel."
"Oh~" Akane smilingly picked up a nearby towel and went into the bathroom to run hot water.
Li Xia watched her full of energy and shook his head.
Akane was strong, but very gentle in taking care of people. Using a warm towel to wipe Li Xia made him very comfortable.
"Akane, you should know, I don't have romantic feelings for you, your efforts make me feel ashamed."
Li Xia knew that saying this would hurt her, but he didn't want to be an anime protagonist, nor did he want to be a central air conditioner that was good to everyone and wouldn't let go.
At first, he didn't confront Akane because he couldn't win. After being together for so long, Li Xia thought that Akane wouldn't be ashamed and angry enough to slap him to death, so he dared to confront her.
"Haha~" Akane didn't feel the slightest disappointment, her voice still cheerful: "Love, as long as you're involved, it's meaningful, regardless of whether there's an outcome."
"But we won't have a result." Li Xia thought Akane was naive, even in love, it's not without reservations like this.
"The moment you fall in love with someone, it never disappears, it stays in your memory forever." Akane picked up a towel, looked up and smiled playfully at Li Xia: "It becomes the courage to live on, it becomes a glimmer of light in the darkness."
