I really can't control myself.

Chapter 4084 Recognition

Shimizu Ritsu took a rather solid hit this time, mainly because she didn't expect the kick from the guy who came after her to be so powerful.

However, Shimizu Ritsu adjusted relatively quickly, using a roll to dissipate the force and then quickly getting up, just in time to see the opponent who was about to chase after her.

Just as she was about to retaliate, Shimizu Ritsu froze completely upon seeing the person's face, standing there dumbfounded.

Of course, it wasn't just him who froze; Shimizu Mai, who was just about to give chase, also froze, because she could now clearly see the face opposite her.

"elder brother?"

"dance?"

That's right, the person who arrived at this moment was none other than Shimizu Mai. After realizing she had fallen into a trap, she thought she was doomed, but unexpectedly, instead of further attacks, she heard gunshots coming from the building she had targeted.

It seems something unexpected has happened; they've fallen into a trap, but it appears someone has helped them.

At first, Shimizu Mai didn't understand what was going on, but then she suddenly thought of He Xinchangping and for some reason suddenly felt that He Xinchangping was the one who did it.

That's right. I thought He Xinchangping was a very thoughtful guy. He probably didn't mean to run away when he said he wanted to act alone. Maybe he was the one who caused all this commotion.

At this point, she definitely had to go and provide support. Fortunately, the two buildings were not far apart. She checked the distance and decided to... jump across directly.

After greeting Akiyama Shunsuke again, Shimizu Mai rushed out. Akiyama Shunsuke thought to himself that he was really fed up; he had just run upstairs and was now going downstairs again, and then going to climb the stairs of the building next door.

Despite his complaints, he still went immediately.

Meanwhile, Shimizu Mai found her target spot and jumped directly to the building next to her. Because the distance was a bit far, she landed on a balcony on the fourth floor of the opposite building, which meant she had fallen five floors. However, thanks to her physical strength, she managed to hold on. Without checking her injuries much, she quickly climbed back up and soon reached the rooftop again.

As soon as she reached the rooftop, she saw the scene before her. She was right; He Xinchangping was indeed there. And there was a man with his back to her—the assassin who had attacked them.

The two were fighting, but it was clear that He Xinchangping was no match for him.

Although Shimizu Mai was anxious, she patiently crept closer to him. Fortunately, the other party was clearly distracted by He Xinchangping and didn't pay any attention to her.

Once she reached a position where she could launch a surprise attack, Shimizu Mai suddenly kicked out, and that's how this situation came about.

She never expected to see her brother here, whom she thought had disappeared, and she never imagined that the killer who attacked them tonight was actually her brother.

Thinking back now, it seems that some of the methods used tonight were quite similar to those of my brother. In particular, the "luring the enemy into the trap" tactic was one that my brother used to love to use. To be honest, this tactic isn't very practical; not many people would be as reckless as me and just walk right into it. But my brother just liked this kind of play.

But now she had a lot of questions in her mind. How did her brother become an enemy? He was assigned a mission to kill system holders, right? But why would her brother take on such a mission? Wasn't he a system holder himself?

This also doesn't explain why her brother went missing.

While it's normal to be out of contact during missions due to their mercenary status, the siblings had agreed to use a last resort to contact each other in truly critical moments. She had already tried to contact her brother using this last resort after arriving in Japan, but to no avail, which led her to conclude that her brother was missing, not on a mission. But what's going on now?

"Mai, what are you doing here?" Shimizu Ritsu was also puzzled. No wonder the woman's figure looked familiar; now that he saw her up close, he realized it was his younger sister, Shimizu Mai. Wasn't this a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple?

He was even a little scared. If he hadn't been trying to find the mission target and hadn't shot Shimizu Mai directly, he would have killed his sister.

"I...I came to find you." Shimizu Mai was still a little confused and answered subconsciously.

"Looking for me?" Shimizu Ritsu was taken aback at first, then quickly realized what was going on.

Yes, he had indeed been missing before. After being captured by Linton, he was quickly sent to the laboratory to help Aizen and Asuna improve the emotion detection device, and was forced to do a lot of experiments.

Shimizu Mai probably discovered he was missing and then came to Nihon to look for him.

It's impossible to contact him; he's been arrested and is a prisoner. How could we possibly get in touch with him?

He had been confined to the lab until yesterday.

Although he was imprisoned, he occasionally learned about Aizen and Asuna's research progress because he had to conduct experiments.

The detector seems to be quite complete now, and since all the mission points he had accumulated have been used up in experiments, he can no longer buy items from the store to support his experiments. Simply put, it's not very useful now.

Shimizu Ritsu had been worried about being dealt with these past few days, but fortunately, a large number of new system holders suddenly appeared.

At this moment, Shimizu Ritsu seized the opportunity to quickly offer to help with some of the issues. He dared to speak up at this time because Aizen was not present, and Linton was in charge of the laboratory at the moment.

That's right, he wouldn't dare to jump like that if Aizen were there, because it would be useless. Aizen would simply ignore him. He even felt that in Aizen's eyes, he wasn't even a guinea pig, and had no right to speak to him, so naturally he wouldn't care what he said.

However, Aizen's superior, Linton, was different.

That's right. Although he was locked in the laboratory, he didn't completely lose his freedom because they weren't worried about him running away.

Over the past few days, he has finally figured out the relationships between the people in the laboratory.

Linton is the boss; Aizen and Asuna are both his subordinates.

As for Linton, although he probably didn't treat him like a human being, Shimizu Ritsu noticed that Linton had a rather obvious characteristic, which was... laziness.

That's right, he really likes to delegate all the complicated work to others, especially Aizen and Asuna.

These two are truly remarkable working bodies, because since they were arrested, he has never seen them rest or sleep; they've been working non-stop, 24 hours a day.

Aizen was nowhere to be found at this point, and Asuna, in his view, shouldn't be considered a combat unit, as she had been in the lab working on machines. Wouldn't Linton have to deal with all these newly appeared system users?

This was a perfect opportunity for him to show off, so he volunteered to do it.
