After a not long wait, Shuichi Akai dialed Judy's phone.
"Hello? Xiuyi?" It was Judy's voice on the other end of the phone, and she could hear the faint sound of rain.
"Judy, where are you now?" Shuichi Akai got to the point directly and asked.
In the back seat of the car, Mamiya Shin didn't speak, just listened quietly. He was in a bad state now, and if Judy noticed, she would be worried again.
"We're still on the way to the municipal building, what's wrong?" Judy asked doubtfully on the phone.
"Is that helicopter still following you?"
"Well, it keeps following me and I can't get rid of it no matter what."
"Listen to me, change direction immediately, don't go in the direction of the municipal building. That is a trap deliberately set by the organization to induce you. There is likely to be an organized ambush on that road..."
Briefly, Akai Shuichi and Judy explained Mamiya Kokoro's speculation.
"I see... But don't worry, we did encounter attacks from the organization just now, but they have been repelled by us."
"Repelled?!"
Hearing Judy's words, Akai Shuichi and Mamiya Shin were both stunned.
"when did it happen?"
"Just a few minutes ago, the organization's vehicles were ambushed at an intersection. Fortunately, we discovered it in advance, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous..."
"Really, then Judy and the others are still on their way to the municipal building?"
"Well, that was my original plan, but since there will be an organized ambush along the way... Xiuyi, where are you now? Where should we meet?"
Akai Shuichi did not answer immediately, but glanced at the silent Mamiya Kokoro behind him.
They guessed that the organization would set up an attack on the road, but they never expected that Judy and the others could repel the organization's attack.
And judging by Judy's relaxed and plain tone, it seemed like they didn't put in much effort in the process?
"Judy, did Regel show up?" Mamiya Shin suddenly asked.
On the other end of the phone, Judy's voice paused for a moment before replying:
"No, he hasn't appeared yet. We have found no trace of him."
"This is unreasonable..." Mamiya frowned slightly after hearing this.
According to his speculation, if Regel noticed his disguise while the female high school student was talking to him, and started to redeploy his cadres to chase Judy and the others.
Even if Regel took ground transportation, the time until now should be enough for him to get there, but why hasn't he shown up yet?
Where did Regel go tonight? Have you always been directing from behind the scenes?
But if this is the case, then why did the organization make such a big mistake in setting up an ambush halfway?
According to Judy's tone, the organization did set up an ambush on the way to the municipal building, but the cadre responsible for the ambush made a mistake, so that the agents there noticed it in advance and easily repelled it.
At a time like this that could determine the life or death of both parties, Reger would actually send such an unreliable cadre?
This couldn't help but make Mamiya feel a little... surprised.
"Judy, is Mr. James with you now?" Mamiya Shin asked again, raising his hand and pressing his eyebrows.
"Mr. James was injured in the attack just now and is still in a coma. I am in charge of command now. What's wrong?"
Judy replied again, her tone was calm, and the two of them were just like a normal conversation between friends.
However, in her words, Mamiya was keenly aware of something unusual.
【wrong……】
He suddenly felt that something was wrong with Judy.
With her eyebrows furrowed, Mamiyashin took the phone from Shuichi Akai's hand, her eyes gradually becoming serious.
There are two things wrong.
First, although James is Judy's superior, their action team, including Judy, prefers to call James directly by his name. The title "Mr. James" is actually Mamiya Shin's personal name.
And just now, Judy unusually followed him and said Mr. James.
Secondly, it was only at this moment that Mamiya Shin suddenly noticed that from the time he spoke until now, in the communication between the two, Judy had never called his name at all, not even once.
Not only that, but Judy didn't express any concern for his condition at all.
This is not because Mamiya Kokoro has too much self-awareness. He knows very well what kind of personality his girlfriend has.
There's something...so wrong about this.
Deep in Mamiya's heart, a trace of fear appeared for the first time, and his expression became extremely solemn.
Is this person on the other side of the phone really Judy?
If not, then who could she be?
Gradually realizing an extremely terrifying possibility, Mamiya's hand holding the phone trembled slightly.
Seeing Mamiya's abnormal reaction, Akai Shuichi also vaguely noticed his thoughts, and the expression on his face was extremely solemn.
"What's wrong?"
It seemed that they had been silent for too long, and Judy's voice spoke again on the other end of the phone.
"We shouldn't be able to go to the municipal building, right? The organization will definitely not give up so easily. What should we do next?"
Listening to "Judy"'s tentative inquiry, Mamiyaxin didn't answer. He took a gentle breath, then let out a long sigh, forcing himself to calm down.
Then, he tentatively said in as calm a tone as possible:
"You...are Regel?"
After the words fell, the other end of the phone fell silent for an instant.
At the other end of the city, Bai Heqing was standing in the rain, holding his mobile phone. There was a hint of surprise on his face behind the mask, and then he sighed helplessly.
"Sure enough, pretending to be someone else is really difficult to do without careful investigation..."
In an instant, Bai Heqing understood that there must be some flaw in what he just said, and the person on the other side of the phone noticed it.
There was nothing he could do about it. After all, he didn't know much about Judy's speaking habits. No matter how hard he tried to disguise it, people close to him would notice the abnormality.
What a pity. He originally wanted to use this phone to lure out the opponent's position and wait for another wave, but he didn't expect the opponent to be so sharp.
After hearing Bai Heqing's answer, which was a disguised admission of his identity, Mamiya felt silent.
He suppressed the panic in his heart and continued to say in a calm tone:
"My colleagues, how are they doing now?"
He did not mention Judy's name specifically, but instead used the word colleague.
"Well, he's almost dead."
As if he was chatting, Regel's tone was very relaxed.
"Let me think about it, except for little Judy, the driver, and an old man who I don't know whether he is dead or not, everyone else is dead.
Sorry, I just lied to you. In fact, our ambush was very successful. I personally think the results were very fruitful. What do you think? "
