Once you strengthen your faith, you will no longer hesitate in your steps.
Even though he reached another fork in the road, Akai Shuichi still had no intention of stopping, but this time, the content on the sign caught him off guard.
It says--
"exit."
...
"Finally we've reached the fork in the road!"
Miyano Shiho, who was drowsy in the monitoring room, saw this scene and instantly became energetic.
I don’t know whether it was Akai Shuichi’s good luck or the inevitable choice he made. There were clearly many traps on the design, just waiting to torture those who thought they were smart.
He could actually choose the one with the fewest traps among the many routes, which was also the least effective and boring one.
While turning over the design drawings, Miyano Shiho sighed.
Of course, she could understand. After all, the purpose of the current path was to make the escapees mistakenly think that they had escaped the trap. Installing too many mechanisms would only arouse suspicion.
But isn’t this too disrespectful of the audience’s experience?
"Let's give Brandy a suggestion. If someone comes in in the future, just block the escape route and force them to break through those traps." Belmod suggested as he watched Miyano Shiho rummaging through the design drawings.
"This time, the sign actually says it directly. Do you think he will believe it?"
"It shouldn't be...right?"
Miyano Shiho flipped through the design drawings repeatedly and replied absentmindedly. She felt a little bad because there was no such a fork in the drawings, nor was there a sign marking "Exit."
"You come and look for it together to see if I've overlooked anything."
After rummaging for a moment, she said to Belmode without raising her head, "Akai Shuichi's location should be here, right?"
She pointed at an undivided pipe on the drawing and asked unconfidently.
"How could the fork in the road be at..."
The index finger of Belmod's right hand followed the trajectory of Akai Shuichi's movements and gradually stopped at the position pointed by Miyano Shiho - there was indeed only a straight pipe there with no bifurcation marks.
"Huh?" She made an uncertain nasal sound, and then asked, "How could it be possible?"
Her eyes swung back and forth between the screen and the drawings, trying to confirm Akai Shuichi's position——
"Brandy can't lie to himself!" Belmode looked solemn. What exactly had he gone through before he could falsify the design drawings?
"No."
Looking at Belmode who was still analyzing calmly, Miyano Shiho accepted the reality.
"With Brandy's memory, he shouldn't need blueprints to assist his memory, so it is very likely that from the beginning, he considered the situation where the blueprints fell into the hands of others. When they rely on the blueprints to escape from prison, they will find out the environment and the The drawings have nothing to do with it."
"..."
Regarding Miyano Shiho's speculation, Bermod thought for a moment. Compared to the former who approached Asakura as a victim, she could most of the time figure out his intentions from the perspective of a companion, and then she came to the conclusion: "Indeed."
"In short, the best result now is that Shuichi Akai ignores the exit and continues to walk on the road on the design map, and then we rush people to arrest him to avoid another accident." Miss Shirley analyzed calmly , and at the same time took out his mobile phone and made a call.
"Sister Xunyin."
"Sir Shirley, please speak."
Belmode pricked up his ears and quietly listened to the subtle sounds leaking from the phone receiver.
When she heard the name "Megurine" from Miyano Shiho's mouth, a young girl under twenty-five years old came to mind - black shoulder-length hair, wearing thin-framed glasses for decoration, often wearing Dressed in loose casual clothes, he appears to be a poor man who has no choice but to join the organization from a miserable background, but in fact he is a die-hard loyalist that Brandy found from nowhere.
A weirdo who often talks about the number 800 million.
"Wait a minute." Miyano Shiho stared at the scene on the screen. She wanted to see
After finishing Akai Shuichi’s choice, we will proceed with the follow-up actions.
at the same time.
Staring at the word "exit", Shuichi Akai's expression was uncertain.
He didn't think that there would be a pre-placed sign on the right path, and the existence of the sign only meant that he was most likely not out of sight of the organization from the beginning.
"You are watching, I gave up."
He spread out his hands and lay down on the ground, looking helpless.
"Wait a moment."
A taunting microphone was installed in the pipe, but Miyano Shiho didn't intend to use it at the moment. She looked at Akai Shuichi's movements and told the patrol voice on the other side of the phone.
After waiting quietly for a few breaths, Akai Shuichi lay down and pressed his ears against the wall of the pipe without hearing any suspicious sounds. The other side of the metal wall was as silent as a void.
no one there?
He was hesitant. First he looked at the side without the sign. There was no end as far as the eye could see, and here was the sign...
[In view of the general environment,
This choice is not difficult.
After all, this is not an arranged game. If this exit is false, then the other path leading to it must not be the real exit.
In this case, instead of betting on the unknown future ahead, it is better to bet on Brandy's character. The arrogant, conceited and bad Brandy is likely to set up a real exit in a location that is most likely to be a scam.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, stood up, and headed towards the direction revealed by the sign.
Miyano Shiho, who saw his actions, also methodically issued orders to the other side of the phone.
"Let the surveillance personnel pay attention to the area around the laboratory. Once Shuichi Akai is discovered, he will be arrested immediately."
"Yes." Xunyin followed the order and left.
"You already have the demeanor of a cadre." Bermod looked at Miyano Shiho's figure, not sure whether he was pleased or regretful.
"Huh, I can't hide it now." Miyano Shiho's brows showed a little nervousness, "What reason should I use to explain it?"
Compared with Akai Shuichi's negligible possibility of successfully escaping, she was more worried about Brandy's subsequent accusations. Of course, she also knew that the other party would not be too difficult for him, but she still felt panic in her heart.
This kind of mentality is quite similar to a daughter who accidentally messed up something her father told her to do. She knew there would be no serious consequences, but still felt uneasy.
"It's simple, just say it's my problem." Belmode is not really afraid of being known by Asakura. Anyway, her handle has been pinched, and at the same time, the handle cannot be moved, so the brandy can still affect her. how is it?
Not long after, the reply from Xunyin arrived.
"Ms. Shirley, the target has been captured by Mr. Brandy."
"Huh?" Miyano Shiho expected Akai Shuichi to be unable to escape, but the way of arrest still surprised her.
After thinking about it for a while, Belmode understood the reason, "Just like we are observing Shuichi Akai, he is also observing us. It's really funny."
