Chapter 611 – Yuzurina’s Dilemma

　　”What kind of people took her?”

　　”It looks like a few gangsters, they had been squatting at the entrance of the shrine, and then ……”

　　Black Hitomi described the images captured by the monitor from beginning to end, although the picture quality was a bit blurry and some things happened far away from the monitor, but it could barely restore the situation at that time.

　　”After capturing that girl, they took a car to the suburbs on the west side of the city, there was very little surveillance coverage over there, plus there wasn’t enough time, and then I lost track of them.”

　　For Black Hitomi, using her ability to search for Yuzu Rina in these short seconds to understand what happened and then tracking them all the way to the west side of the city was already the limit, if the time to use her ability was a little bit longer, she should be able to narrow it down further.

　　Lin Qiye listened to Black Hitomi’s description and his face gradually darkened.

　　”I see.” Lin Qiye nodded and looked at Hong Yan, “Go to the west side of the city where they were last seen, then we’ll search there a little bit.”

　　Warehouse.

　　Yuzurina weakly collapsed in the small dark room in the corner of the warehouse, her hands tied behind her back, unable to move, and her body was covered in shocking bruises everywhere.

　　In the darkness, she endured the pain while endeavoring to observe her surroundings in the darkness.

　　Judging from the furnishings, this should be an abandoned warehouse management room, with a small space, several rusted iron frames leaning against the walls on both sides, covered with cobwebs and dust, no windows, and nothing left but a few rotting cardboard boxes.

　　Yuzurina took a deep breath and curled up, moving a little closer to the iron door of the administration room.

　　She pressed her ear against the surface of the iron door and held her breath, listening carefully to the sounds outside.

　　There were vague sounds of laughter and anger coming from outside the door, but it was a long way from this door, probably at the location of the warehouse’s main entrance, and by the sound of it, there were three or four people, who should be guarding there on Iwamai Yusuke’s orders.

　　After a moment’s hesitation, Yuzurina opened her mouth and spat out a large piece of pink bubblegum from within her mouth, as if it were a combination of two pieces of bubblegum chewed together.

　　She rolled over her body and grabbed this piece of bubblegum with her bound hands behind her back, breaking it open and peeling a small section of a hobby knife blade out of it.

　　She solemnly pinched this blade in her fingertips and leaned her body against the wall, her eyes on the iron door, and little by little she used the blade to cut the thick rope around her wrists.

　　This wasn’t the first time Yuzurina had been brought here; before this, she had been brought here a total of two times. The first time was when Iwamai Yusuke’s men first approached her, at that time she didn’t dare to resist and was brought all the way here, then Iwamai Yusuke took out the note to force her to pay back the money for her father, and after giving her a deadline, he released her.

　　Yuzurina returned home, thinking about how she could come up with the money while looking for another place to live outside, as she knew full well that her address had already been revealed, and if she continued to live there, she would surely be approached again.

　　Yuzurina herself wasn’t afraid of them, but Grandma Tsuru was old and definitely couldn’t afford to be frightened like this, and she didn’t want to worry her old man, after temporarily settling Grandma Tsuru in the container, Yuzurina went back to her home and searched through everything in the house, trying to find precious items that she could sell, but she didn’t find anything.

　　At that exact moment, Iwamai Yusuke’s men broke in again, took Yuzurina away, and then rummaged through the house again, and this second time she was caught in the act, she still didn’t have any money on her, and then she suffered a severe beating.

　　After that, Yuzurina never went home again, just living in a container with Grandma Tsuru, trying her best to avoid the sight of others, living a life of hiding like a rat.

　　What she didn’t realize was that she ended up being targeted, but this time, she learned her lesson.

　　In that grocery store at the shrine, Yuzurina used the fifteen hundred yen she had on her to buy four lollipops, five black raincoats, a bag of extra-spicy chili powder, and two pieces of bubblegum and an artisanal knife blade, the first two to confuse the group into fleeing, and the last three as a precautionary measure, not realizing that she’d already have used them by now.

　　Yuzurina cut the ropes on her hands and feet, stood up from the floor, and tiptoed over to the door.

　　The structure of this warehouse was very simple, with the only exit being the front door, which meant that if she wanted to get out of here, she would have to break in. Yuzurina thought, wait until it was a little later in the day, when those punks were resting and slacking off, and then sneak out ……

　　But her hopes were ultimately dashed.

　　Outside the door, Iwamai Yusuke’s voice sounded again, and was rapidly approaching the area.

　　”Drag her out to me, this time, I will make her talk!” Iwamai Yusuke’s voice was icy cold.

　　Yuzurina’s heart fluttered, and she suddenly panicked a bit as she stood in the doorway and quickly turned back to look for something in the dimly lit room.

　　Once Iwamai Yusuke entered the door and realized that she had broken free of the rope, he would inevitably beat her severely and then lock her up in some other way, so that all of her preparations would be in vain.

　　This was her last chance.

　　Yuzurina’s eyes shimmered in the darkness.

　　Iwamai Yusuke opened the door, it was pitch black inside, and he had just taken a step inside when a cardboard box snapped over his head!

　　Then something hit him and ran out the door, and backhanded the door heavily, leaving him alone and locked in the small room.

　　Iwamai Yusuke ripped the cardboard box off his head, fresh from the outside and into the darkness his eyes couldn’t adjust to his surroundings and he couldn’t see anything, but at the moment he realized what had happened and cursed angrily as he groped for the door knob in the darkness.

　　Yuzurina, dressed in a tattered black cherry blossom kimono, rushed out of the small room, pulling her legs out and frantically rushing towards the door of the warehouse, the gangsters first froze at the sight of this scene, and then a snarl came from inside the room:

　　”Let me out! No …… stop her for me first!!!”

　　A few punks darted forward, trying to stop Yuzu Rina, but Yuzu Rina’s body was just too flexible, coupled with her small size, she actually dodged two or three people’s blocking attacks one after another, and with her hand she swung up a bottle on the floor, flinging it at the last punk in front of her, and under the bursting of the bottle, she smashed a blood scar on his forehead.

　　The gangster screamed miserably and covered his forehead.

　　Yuzurina dashed all the way out of the warehouse’s door, and was about to leave when the portal that held Iwamai Yusuke was kicked open with force!

　　Iwamai Yusuke, who was filled with rage, saw that Yuzu Rina was about to escape, a fierce color emerged in his eyes, he pulled out a revolver from his pocket, the black hole of the gun was aimed at Yuzu Rina, who was gradually moving away, and pulled the trigger!

　　Bang-!

　　The muzzle of the gun erupted into a flash of blinding fire, and a sharp gunshot echoed in the sky.
