Although still somewhat dazed, the commander picked up the walkie-talkie and put it to his ear...
Listen carefully to the information being conveyed.
"This is Q1, H3 please speak, over."
"Target spotted, parachuting towards area B1. What should we do now? Over!"
"H3 is Q1. Take it down, no matter what."
The man's attention was completely drawn away by the walkie-talkie.
"Report Q1: The target has become ineffective, but it seems to have been a corpse to begin with."
"What! How is this possible!"
Upon hearing the message transmitted over the walkie-talkie, the man who appeared to be the leader couldn't help but burst into a tirade of curses.
However, he quickly discovered the blind spot and made a shushing gesture.
They cautiously approached the two corpses lying on the ground.
"I knew it! How could it just vanish into thin air? Trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain won't work."
The gun was pointed directly at the two corpses, and the man looked smug.
"You have 5.1 seconds to get up, or I'll shoot."
Three, two, one—
Seeing that the countdown had ended and there was still no reaction, the man pulled the trigger without hesitation, but...
Boom! Everyone was so frightened by the loud noise coming from the tall buildings in the distance that they retreated in fear.
"You did it, senior!"
"Of course, it seems the final arrangements have come in handy."
Kanzaki Teru originally intended to use a parachute to leave the scene, but the situation was worse than expected.
The enemy had already deployed snipers; if they used this method, they would be sitting ducks.
Chapter 422: The Perfect Disguise
Moreover, since everyone's attention has been drawn to this, Kanzaki Teru made another choice without hesitation.
"Plan changed. Tie the two bodies up with ropes and then put parachutes on them."
Then use a rope to attach a flashbang, once the other side opens the door.
The vibrations from the booby trap at the entrance would cause the two corpses to fall, thus deploying their parachutes.
After the parachutes open, flashbangs will be thrown out, and we'll use that time to blend in with them.
"But isn't this plan too dangerous?"
"Danger!? What you're doing isn't dangerous?"
Do you know why the Yankees always manage to win?
BANSHEE was stunned for a moment when he heard Kanzaki Hikaru's question.
"Um... I don't quite understand..."
"Answer me! Do you know why the Yankees always manage to get 23 wins!?"
He repeated the question again, this time with an unwavering tone.
Perhaps startled by Kanzaki Teru's imposing manner, BANSHEE's voice trembled slightly as she answered.
"Because they're Mickey Manto again?"
"No! It's because the other teams are always staring at their striped jerseys!"
People are always drawn to more attractive targets and can only see what they are looking at.
This gift was enough, as the two corpses flew down.
Those monitoring from the outside would certainly be drawn to the situation, but without instructions from their superiors, they would not easily take action.
However, during this time, they are blinded by the flashbangs and are powerless to respond.
And when they finally come to their senses, they'll be drawn to the information coming through the walkie-talkie.
This was entirely within Kanzaki Teru's expectations; in fact, everything went too smoothly.
"However, once they realize that's not their target, their attention will definitely return to the room."
But by then we had already left, and that wasn't the most important thing, because we still needed to leave them a gift.
They then placed booby traps on the corpses lying on the ground, which would be triggered if the other party touched the two corpses.
"The other side will definitely notice these two corpses. Once they trigger the booby trap, it will give us more time to escape."
-
"Everything is exactly as you predicted, senior! It's simply amazing!"
Seeing that things were progressing exactly as Kanzaki Teru had predicted, BANSHEE looked at him with admiration.
"May I ask you a question?"
Upon hearing Kanzaki Teru say this, BANSHEE's eyes lit up with anticipation.
"Of course! But after you ask, you must tell me your name, senior!"
"no problem."
Taking a deep breath, Kanzaki Teru subconsciously clenched his fists.
"Why were you deliberately captured back then?"
"Um... senior? What do you mean? I don't quite understand?"
Seeing BANSHEE still pretending to be stupid even at this point, Kanzaki Teru couldn't help but admire him.
"BANSHEE, no—Ms. Suoh Amane, what exactly is your purpose?"
"—As expected of DEADEND, they were exposed so quickly?"
Upon hearing the name spoken by Kanzaki Teru, BANSHEE—Suoh Amane—underwent a complete transformation in both her demeanor and posture.
"Now that you know, why don't you just get rid of me?"
There's no reason, it's just a gut feeling.
"Oh, this is the first time I've ever met someone who can tell my real name and identity just by intuition."
"Aren't you going to act that silly side of yourself anymore?"
"Heh, now that we've been discovered, there's no point in pretending anymore."
As if she had given up on herself, Suoh Tenon's tone became much rougher.
"Are all members of the Department of Defense's Special Response Division (DODSR) like you?"
"Has the investigation progressed to this point? What exactly do you want to achieve by the end of 863?"
"I won't do anything because you're not my target, it's that simple."
"What did you say!?"
As if she couldn't believe her ears, Suoh Amane stared at Kanzaki Teru with a face full of shock.
"Your purpose is nothing more than to investigate my true identity, which I already knew a long time ago."
Although the disguise was quite good, he was ultimately just a novice.
Eye contact, tone of voice, intonation, breathing... all of these have been done to a near-perfect degree.
Unfortunately, you only achieved a "near" level, not true perfection.
There are many parts where the performance is too unnatural. As an assassin, the first rule is not to tell others your name.
But you were too eager to extract information from me, which is why you did this.
While it fits your original persona, in my opinion it's just too clumsy.
Chapter 423: Number Ten
Of all the people Kanzaki Teru has met, putting aside other aspects, there is almost no one more perfect than her in terms of disguise alone.
Even Hikaru Kanzaki would find it difficult to immerse himself in a character so perfectly, but just because I can't do it doesn't mean I can't discover it.
Ultimately, this is just a disguise, and there are many things that are difficult to cover up through disguise.
Whether you look directly at the other person during a conversation, the number of times you blink, the degree of dilation of capillaries, pupil contraction, breathing, heartbeat, and sweat.
These are things that are difficult to completely conceal, but it is said that during the war at that time...
It had a large number of excellent spies, but in the end almost all of them suffered from mental illness.
After all, they are playing other people almost all the time, and gradually these roles will become real.
"You're not good enough to be an assassin, but you think you're top-notch as a spy."
Kanzaki Teru also spared no praise, saying that she was indeed a rare talent.
"Then, for this reason, could you please tell me your name?"
"John Walker."
"This doesn't sound like a Japanese name at all."
"Actually, I've always lived abroad."
"Fine, fine, I know you won't tell me, but just you wait, I'll expose your true colors sooner or later."
After leaving those words, Suoh Tenon turned and left without looking back.
However, just as Kanzaki Teru had predicted, she died that very day.
There's no way Kanzaki Teru would leave anyone who knows what she looks like alive. As for what happened afterward, only she knows the truth.
-
"Me? My name is Number Ten. What's yours, big brother?"
Upon hearing her name, Kanzaki Teru's brows furrowed slightly, but only for a moment.
