The sky and the earth are all white, and the cold air seems to freeze everything.

The cold wind blew, and a mass of snow suddenly fell from the branches and fell to Jing Baiye's side. He looked up subconsciously.

There were only a few crows in sight, and they flew from the branches together. This creature is active all year round and never rests. With a few rattling sounds, the shadows swept across the white snow and soon disappeared without a trace.

Jing Baiye retracted his gaze and landed on the system map floating around him. The red dot of the target character, Yamao Keisuke, was still moving forward without any change in speed, apparently unaware that he was being followed.

But something went wrong on the Scottish side. Rangji Nakata's white dot left the wooden house and went to wander around the reservoir. After the call was over, he had to notify Scotland.

There was no other movement around, and Apello's voice came from the other end of the phone.

In addition to his persistent pursuit of beauty, he is also a reliable partner during the mission. At least he has never been a riddleman, and he explained his plans in the most concise words.

"……That's it."

As expected in Jingbaiye, Apello's plan had nothing to do with bombs.

He is indeed the best blasting expert, but it does not mean that he can only use bombs, especially the geographical environment here is special, and a slightly larger movement is likely to cause avalanches. Their mission this time to recover the bombs made by Apello and clean up the people who stole his bombs is not to cleanse the people here. Apello, who grew up here, will inevitably adopt other less influential methods.

For example...with the help of the special environment here, an "accident" was achieved.

"Are you sure?"

After listening to the other party's words, Jing Baiye asked hesitantly.

"You... hate him so much?"

With countless lives in his hands, he was not afraid of Apello's suggestion, and he would not reject it if he really wanted to, but he was just a little surprised.

There was the sound of the door opening and the car starting from Apello's side, but this did not conceal the low sneer in his voice.

"Just do as I say, Angstra."

"—The most cruel punishment should be given to the betrayal."

"You who have executed traitors in the past should understand my feelings the most..."

————

Zhu Fu Jingguang stopped at the intersection, and suddenly his back felt cold.

This coolness came too suddenly and too terrifyingly, as if something was giving him a hint. Before Zhu Fu Jingguang's stiff body could relax, his cheeks were also cold.

He raised his hand and wiped it, his fingertips wet. He looked up, and the sky began to snow again.

... The coolness just now was because of the snow?

The sky was a gloomy gray, and Niigata Prefecture was much colder than Tokyo and more like his native Nagano. Before coming, Zhu Fu Jingguang did a lot of preparation work to understand the climate and geographical environment here, and determined that this was just a light snow that would stop soon.

He was carrying a small backpack that contained an Angstra-modified rifle that could be quickly disassembled and assembled. In addition to the gun and the survival tools in the wild, he also carefully covered the strange yellow cloak on top. As long as he opened the bag, he could pull it out with a single pull.

Angstra gave him the cloak by Lake Sawajiri, and the two separated. Angstra went to the woods, which were more dangerous and might be infested with wild animals, to carry out a killing mission, while he, an adult, went to a relatively safer job. He was even told before parting that if there was an accident, he would immediately Come and help him.

If it was last year, Zhu Fu Jingguang would still feel uncomfortable; but after getting along for more than half a year, he has gradually become accustomed to Angstra's... almost captive shelter.

He walked along this common tourist route to the reservoir alone. He didn't know whether it was because the explosion at the hotel scared the tourists, or because of the upcoming 5th anniversary event of Xinbei Zhisawa Village, there were only a few visitors to the reservoir.

As soon as he looked back, he saw several tourists coming from the front.

They looked like they were in their early twenties, and they were dressed and tempered like college students who didn't know much about the world. One of the young girls complained to the boy next to him: "Really, it made us run away for nothing."

"Next time you've done your homework, come back again!" A chubby boy said as he walked away sweating.

"How do I know that the reservoir is not open today? The website clearly states that it will only be closed on holidays!" The boy who was complaining one after another by his companions couldn't help raising his voice.

Another girl touched her chin: "Probably because of the 5th anniversary event, some reservoir employees went down, and there were fewer cars in the parking lot than when I went there last time. Because of the shortage of staff, it was temporarily closed to tourists. That sign Apparently it was put there temporarily..."

They chatted and walked past Zhu Fu Jingguang. Zhu Fu Jingguang looked back at them, and after confirming that they were just ordinary tourists, he continued to walk forward.

After walking for about 5 minutes, when he looked up again, he saw a wooden house standing quietly among the snow.

This is the destination of his trip.

...

The snow gradually stopped.

Zhu Fu Jingguang walked towards the wooden house not far from the reservoir. After confirming that no one was around, he went to the window and carefully hid his figure, leaning there to listen to the movement inside ~lightnovelpub.net~ The sound insulation of wooden houses was average. After listening for a while, he noticed the sound of walking or talking in the house. , there seems to be no one inside.

...is it out? Or did he go to the forest with Yamao Keisuke?

Zhu Fu Jingguang slowly stood up straight, he leaned against the window, and boldly glanced in - it really was empty.

The fire of the fireplace was not extinguished, and the light of the fire illuminated the dim wooden house. The furnishings in the wooden house are quite simple. A single bed is placed in the corner, and a hammock is tied between the pillars not far away. There are indeed two people living here.

Various tools were placed on the wooden shelf, and Zhu Fu Jingguang swept to the bottom two grids of the wooden shelf at a glance. Before setting off, Angstra showed him pictures of the bombs that Apero had lost, and he recognized at a glance that there were bombs made by Apero.

Those bombs were not large, similar in size to the bomb at the opening ceremony of the subway, and similar to a laptop charger, but the internal structure was extremely complicated, and the most troublesome point was that it was a new type of smart bomb.

Zhu Fu Jingguang counted the number of bombs above, and frowned gradually.

Angstra said that the number of bombs lost by Apero was quite large. In addition to these and the ones found on the subway yesterday, the number is obviously not correct...

At this moment, he felt the phone in his pocket vibrate for inter-organizational communication.

He glanced inside the house, then looked around, and quickly answered the phone.

"Scotland! Nakata has run away, the bomb he planted in the cabin is about to detonate - run!!"
