Chapter 56

Nan Lixiang, wearing a lightweight bulletproof vest, crossed her arms and said impatiently, "Alright, I'm here. Stop beating around the bush, are you really planning to go like this?"

"Let's get in the car first."

Nan Lixiang sighed in frustration and sat in the driver's seat, while Pingye sat in the passenger seat, staring obsessively at the police sniper rifle.

Pingye fell back into his manic mode: "DSR sniper rifle, .30 caliber, high precision... amazing, this gun!"

Nan Lixiang, driving the car, glanced at Pingye with a murderous look: "I said, don't touch my treasure. This gun has been with me for years."

"Ah! Sorry, sorry." Pingye quickly put the sniper rifle back and sat properly in his seat, not daring to move.

Lin Yifan, sitting in the back, leaned against the seat and took out an MP5 submachine gun from his backpack, handing it to Saya: "Saya, just follow Lixiang."

Taking the submachine gun, Saya turned her head away: "Hmph, I know, I won't cause you any trouble."

Lin Yifan threw another M4 rifle he had picked up earlier to Pingye, who was originally well-behaved, instantly jumped up in excitement, hitting the ceiling before sitting down.

"M4! M~4 carbine!" Pingye shouted excitedly, but under the stern gazes of the others, he calmed down a bit.

Lin Yifan threw two magazines over and said, thinking about the items he had obtained from the bodies last time, they were enough for the fight. It seemed they didn't need to go to the yard to retrieve the weapon box for now. These current weapons were sufficient.

After rummaging through his backpack, he also threw a silencer for the M4 and a lightweight bulletproof vest to Pingye.

Lin Yifan then looked at Tohsaka Satsuki and asked curiously, "Satsuki, did you turn in the pistol I gave you to the authorities?"

"It's still with me." Tohsaka Satsuki slightly lifted her skirt, revealing the holster on the outside of her thigh.

Lin Yifan sucked in a breath. This way of concealing a gun was too exhilarating.

Compared to the other students' ultra-short skirts, Tohsaka Satsuki was more conservative, still wearing the knee-length skirt that hadn't been modified.

Knee-length skirts were the school standard, but some Japanese schools turned a blind eye to girls shortening their skirts.

"Do you need a bulletproof vest?"

Tohsaka Satsuki shook her head and raised her Muramasa blade: "A bulletproof vest would hinder my movement, increasing the chance of being hit."

Lin Yifan didn't argue and put on the vest himself. A lightweight bulletproof vest was like a piece of paper folded in half against the machine gun of the bald, muscular man, making no difference.

Nan Lixiang tapped her fingers on the steering wheel and, after driving onto the street, turned back and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Pingye, you lead the way."

"Got it!"

The car headed towards the construction site, with the fully armed group, Lin Yifan in the middle, wearing a bulletproof vest.

At first, no one paid attention, all focused on the plan. But after the plan was discussed, Lin Yifan, sitting in the middle, noticed the subtle atmosphere.

Saya looked at Tohsaka Satsuki with some dissatisfaction because she was sitting too close to Lin Yifan. Tohsaka Satsuki, holding her Muramasa blade, raised her head and glanced at the young lady of the Takagi family.

It seemed that Saya had been unhappy with her from the moment they met.

After a while, Tohsaka Satsuki spoke directly, "What's bothering you?"

Her attitude of not looking at her face made Saya very angry, and she reached out to hold Lin Yifan's hand, "Hey, what did you say to me this afternoon?"

"What did I say?" Lin Yifan, caught in the middle, couldn't remain invisible.

"What did you say? What did you promise my dad? Tell me!"

Lin Yifan stroked his chin and said without hesitation, "To take you away. Mr. Takagi told you to listen to me and stay by my side. Is there a problem with that?"

"Even in this situation, you're still hanging around with Sempai Tohsaka!" Takagi Saya put her hands on her hips and leaned in, her face full of jealousy.

Saya's words made Tohsaka Satsuki unhappy, "Takagi, your words are a bit misleading. Lin and I are just practicing martial arts together."

"Huh? What a joke. Does anyone fight to the point of kissing? Shouldn't that be done in bed? That's more like bed skills."

Tohsaka Satsuki's face flashed with anger, but also a hint of embarrassment.

She had indeed kissed Lin Yifan in a moment of excitement, but it was just a light peck, a few times.

Lin Yifan, watching the two women bicker, had to admit, Saya's words were truly venomous, hitting the key points.

Nan Lixiang, driving the car, laughed out loud, "Kissing? Kissing is nothing, a bunch of kids. This guy is far from pure, he toyed with my best friend's feelings and now wants to hook up with me."

For a moment, Lin Yifan seemed to become a public enemy, stared at by several pairs of eyes. He wished he could slap Pingye, a guy, for joining in the staring.

But even under the scrutiny of several pairs of eyes, Lin Yifan's face remained thick, and he closed his eyes to conserve energy, unaffected by the stares.

After a while, the group's eyes grew tired from staring, and they gave up. However, Saya's hand kept poking Lin Yifan's thigh, as if she wanted to tear a piece of flesh from him.

Lin Yifan had his own way to deal with her, saying calmly, "Don't touch me in the car. If you keep touching my leg, people will misunderstand."

Saya's face turned red, and she turned her head away, pouting.

"Alright, we're almost there. I should explain my plan. Lixiang, do you see that small hill ahead? You and Saya go there to provide long-range support. Satsuki and Pingye, follow me in."

As he spoke, Lin Yifan took out two flashbangs and shook them, and Pingye immediately shouted excitedly, "Flashbangs! They're great for enemies hiding inside buildings!"

"Right, there's only one room in the construction site. Throw one flashbang in, and keep the other as a backup for any stragglers."

Nan Lixiang parked the car by the roadside and turned back curiously, "Why did you bring us instead of calling the Self-Defense Forces?"

Seeing the looks from the others, Lin Yifan decided not to hide it anymore, as he planned to capture the survivors alive. He couldn't just knock one out and leave the rest.

Moreover, there was no need to hide it anymore, as the group already knew too many of his secrets, especially Nan Lixiang, who had even seen the appearance of the cycle travelers.

Taking out handcuffs, Lin Yifan shook them, "I'm going to take them away from this world. Don't ask why, you'll understand eventually. I'm telling you because I trust you."

Saya, who was still pouting, suddenly turned her head, her face showing surprise.

But Saya was more moved by the words "I trust you," secretly rejoicing.

"Most of you know some of my secrets. I want to capture those eight cycle travelers, the terrorists you mentioned. Of course, I also want to take you all away from this world, to another space."

The group in the car looked at each other, but most of them remained calm, being from swordsmanship families or special police. Even Pingye, a fat otaku, came from a wealthy family. None of the four had ordinary backgrounds.

At this moment, Tohsaka Satsuki extended her hand, making Lin Yifan slightly stunned, but he recovered, and the group smiled.

The five of them placed their hands together, with Lin Yifan in the middle, looking at the four present, "I will show you the true face of this world. Don't ask, but see with your own eyes."

The four nodded in agreement, trusting Lin Yifan's words.

"Alright, let's go!"

Nan Lixiang took a walkie-talkie from the compartment and handed it to Lin Yifan, "Take this. I'll not only provide fire support from the hill but also report on their movements."

Lin Yifan took the walkie-talkie and attached it to his bulletproof vest.

Saya, holding the submachine gun, followed Nan Lixiang up the hill, while Lin Yifan took Tohsaka Satsuki and Pingye towards the construction site.

It wasn't yet quitting time, and there weren't many people around the abandoned construction site, making it convenient for the group to move.

Lin Yifan and Pingye's guns were equipped with silencers, and Tohsaka Satsuki, holding her blade, followed behind, ready to burst into action at any moment.

Quietly approaching the construction site, Lin Yifan didn't act rashly but picked up the walkie-talkie, "Lixiang, what's the situation from the hill?"

"I can see two enemies on guard. Through the window, I can see a few lying in the bedroom, but the others are unclear. But I'm confident I can take out the two guards. What do you think?"

Lin Yifan took a deep breath, raised his P90, and said, "Charge!"
