Chapter 215: IUD-CHAPTER 215 LUPIN THE 4TH
(From here on out, I will release 1 extra chapter if I receive 10 new reviews and 100 Power Stones.)
"Xiū Xiū Xiū Whoosh————!"
The sound of bullets breaking through the air echoed through the entire night sky.
At least, in Fang Li and Aria's ears, this sound was extremely ear-piercing.
Among the many breaking sounds, a bullet mixed in with the gunfire, maneuvering its way through a barrage of assault rifle bullets as if its path had already been meticulously calculated. It flew unimpeded toward Aria's direction.
"————!"
Fang Li almost instantly noticed the bullet.
However, just as Fang Li was about to take action, Aria's ponytail trembled slightly, and without any hesitation, she performed a low somersault at ultra-low altitude, evading the bullet that was hurtling toward her.
"Thud————!"
The bullet landed on the deck, flicked by sparks, and turned into a ricochet, disappearing into the night sky.
"Beautiful!" Fang Li couldn't help but praise.
Aria probably hadn't even seen that bullet coming just now.
However, this descendant of Holmes sensed danger purely by intuition and instinctively dodged it without any hesitation.
Perhaps Aria's earlier words weren't just casual remarks.
Her intuition was indeed accurate.
"Even without the family's innate deductive ability, being the descendant of a famous detective, is it possible?"
Hence, Aria's intuition was so precise.
Without knowing what Fang Li was thinking, Aria raised her dual pistols and shouted at Fang Li, "Look over there!"
Hearing this, Fang Li immediately followed the direction indicated by Aria's guns and looked toward the top of the oil tanker's cabin.
There, a figure turned around and walked in, disappearing from Fang Li's sight just in time.
"Fang Li!" Aria saw this scene and was pleasantly surprised.
Fang Li also slightly lifted the corners of his mouth and said, "That's likely the Butei Assassin!"
In other words, the continuous serial killer, who had remained hidden, was finally revealing themselves.
Without a hint of hesitation. Fang Li and Aria stood up simultaneously, using their agility to dodge the bullets' spray while rushing into the cabin.
…
On the sea surface, the large oil tanker "Martya Maritime" was speeding extremely fast, heading deeper into the sea.
Around the oil tanker, speedboats armed with assault rifles followed closely, surrounding the entire oil tanker.
This scene was reminiscent of the bus hijacking incident, replayed on a grander scale. Only this time, it wasn't a bus being hijacked, but an oil tanker, and the vehicles equipped with assault rifles weren't open-top cars but speedboats.
Upon closer inspection, on the top deck of the oil tanker's cabin, a young girl sat on the railing facing the sea. She swung her little feet, humming a melodious tune.
The waves became her accompaniment.
The moon became her backdrop.
The girl seemed to be singing her joyful mood to the sea, and her pleasant singing echoed incessantly on the deck, creating an atmosphere that suddenly turned somewhat dreamy.
"Bang————!"
Not long after, the door leading to the cabin was forcefully kicked open.
Inside the cabin, Fang Li and Aria simultaneously rushed in.
As the girl sat on the railing with her back to the door, swinging her little feet and continuing to sing as if oblivious, Fang Li and Aria had completely different reactions.
"You… you are…" Aria was utterly astonished.
"...!" Fang Li's eyes widened slightly, and shortly afterward, he fell into silence.
In this instant, the girl with her back turned to Fang Li and Aria finally stopped her movements.
"A scent of gunpowder."
"A longstanding vendetta."
"The sweetness of champagne."
"The attraction of the opposite sex."
"It's truly a wonderful night."
Speaking such words, the girl stood up directly on the railing, turned around, and faced Fang Li and Aria.
"Been waiting for you for quite a while, Olmes' partner."
As if enhancing the ambiance, a brisk sea breeze swept by, causing the girl's radiant golden hair to flutter like the sun as the ruffled lace hem of her princess-like dress swayed gently.
That remarkably beautiful face, illuminated by the moonlight, was so familiar to Fang Li that he couldn't be more familiar with it.
Seeing the girl, Aria muttered.
"Mine-Riko…"
It was unmistakably Riko.
The Riko who hadn't appeared since bidding farewell to Fang Li that evening was now here.
In response, Riko wore her usual cute smile, yet her eyes revealed a ferocity akin to a Berserker as she delivered a single line.
"I am Mine-Riko, but under the current circumstances, you'd better call me by my full name. I specially permit you to address me as Olmes."
"Full name?" Aria blinked in slight confusion.
"That's right, my full name." Riko lifted the hem of her skirt as if in a curtsy, rose on her tiptoes, and slowly spoke.
"Mine-Riko-Lupin IV, that's my full name."
"Lupin?" Aria widened her eyes when she heard this name.
Because the surname elicited this kind of reaction from Aria.
————Lupin.
To be precise, it should be Arsène-Lupin.
That was the Phantom Thief gentleman active over a hundred years ago. Known for his intelligence, meticulous planning, charisma, and immense wealth, he often stole from wealthy individuals to aid the poor, earning him the monikers of both a rogue and a Phantom Thief. He was a renowned character in France.
Aria's reaction to this name wasn't surprising at all.
Because over a hundred years ago, the famous United Kingdom detective Sherlock Holmes had crossed paths with the renowned French Phantom Thief Arsène-Lupin, and the encounter had ended in a draw.
This was a famous event mentioned in Butei High's textbooks.
Now, Riko took on the name Lupin and referred to herself as the fourth generation of Lupin. The significance behind this needed no further explanation.
"You…" Aria glared at Riko and exclaimed loudly, "Are you the great-granddaughter of Arsène-Lupin?!"
"AhahaHaha!" Riko burst into laughter.
But it wasn't her usual cute laughter.
Although due to her vocal tone, this laughter was unusually pleasant, it wasn't the kind of laughter a typical student should possess. It was the laughter of a warrior.
"You've finally realized? Sherlock Holmes' great-granddaughter!"
"That's right! I am the great-granddaughter of Arsène-Lupin!"
"Over a hundred years ago, our great-grandfathers fought to a draw!"
"Over a hundred years later, we've finally met!"
"So, Holmes the Fourth, it's time for you to meet your demise here!"
"Today, I'll definitely defeat you!"
