Vermouth took out an electromagnetic card, then stuck it to the lock on the door and started fiddling with it.
"Too slow."
[Tsukasa Shishio thought this method was too slow; if they solved it this way, that guy named Kozo Akizuki might have already escaped.]
As for the alarm triggered by forcibly breaking in, it'll go off anyway if someone notices we're using that electromagnetic stun gun to get in, so let's just hurry up.
Thinking this, Tsukasa Shishio strode forward and forcefully slammed a powerful slap into the specially made glass in front of him.
Then, to Vermouth's slightly surprised gaze, the specially made glass in front of her began to crack, and then shattered on the ground with a loud crash.
Vermouth was certain she couldn't possibly let this specially made glass fan shatter her defenses.
[As the glass shattered with a powerful punch from Tsukasa Shishio, the alarm immediately went off.]
"Hehehe, get out of here right now."
[The two security guards, seeing Tsukasa Shishio and Vermouth, immediately pulled out stun batons, waving them at the two while shouting at them.]
"Snap."
"Snap."
Without even glancing at them, Tsukasa Shishio stepped forward and delivered two powerful blows to the two security guards.
The speed was so fast that the two guys didn't even have time to react. The areas where they were slapped immediately became red and swollen, and drool kept dripping from the corners of their mouths.
"Don't worry, he's not dead. I controlled my strength; he just passed out."
[Tsukasa Shishio looked at Vermouth and said.]
"There probably aren't any other security personnel on this floor; I can go up by myself."
"I'll be right here to meet you."
Tsukasa Shishio didn't say anything more.
[After Vermouth went up to the second floor alone, she saw four security personnel rushing towards her.]
"It's been a while since I've used my strength. Although I don't really like using violence, it's good to stretch my muscles occasionally."
[After speaking, Vermouth twisted her neck, making a cracking sound.]
Vermouth first fired two tiny electric shock devices, each about the size of a twist-top, from her special equipment, the "Widow's Sting."
[Vermouth's Widow's Sting is a piece of equipment specially created for her by S.H.I.E.L.D. technicians based on her combat style.]
The widow's sting can fire bullets, micro-bombs, tear gas balls, and stun/paralyzing weapons, and also has a hook.
The first security guard to rush over was also electrocuted, his body convulsing and going numb before he collapsed to the ground.
The other two security personnel attempted to flank Vermouth from both sides, but Vermouth easily saw through their simple intention.
He leaped onto the wall with his right foot, then used the miniature suction cups on his suit to attach himself to the wall.
Before the two security guards could react to Vermouth's stunt, they heard a beeping sound at their feet. Looking down, they saw several small white spheres, with red dots flashing continuously at their centers.
Then, with a muffled thud, the two security guards, their bodies blackened, collapsed unconscious on the ground.
[Those small bombs were thrown by Vermouth when they weren't paying attention as she was attaching herself to the wall.]
The remaining security guard looked at the gruesome sight of his three fallen colleagues, then glanced at Vermouth, who had already climbed down the wall.
[Gritting her teeth, she fell to the ground and pretended to be dead. Looking at the security guard who had been hit and killed, Vermouth simply stepped over him.]
Hearing the footsteps fading into the distance, the remaining security personnel felt safe and, upon looking up, triggered a small trap that Vermouth had set.
The security guard was then electrocuted, his body convulsing, before he lost consciousness.
"Someone has broken in."
[Akizuki Kozo, seeing the notification that suddenly popped up on his computer, knew his location had been exposed and he couldn't stay there any longer. He immediately activated all the drone units that hadn't yet been launched.]
The exhibition is now thrown into further chaos by the activation of this drone force.
"Now every single drone group is operational, and they're using a programming language I've never seen before."
[A staff member at the exhibition's backstage, looking at the computer screen displaying all the drones activated, said to Shiho Miyano beside him.]
"Wait a minute, I'll use Jarvis to help."
[Shiho Miyano, standing to the side, had no better solutions to this problem; the quickest way to resolve it was to let Jarvis solve it.]
"Jarvis, help me decipher these programming languages."
[Shiho Miyano held a data cable, connecting one end to the phone in her shop and the other end to the computer in front of her.]
"Yes, Ms. Shiho Miyano."
[As Vermouth turned the corner, she saw two more security guards approaching, but because she turned quickly enough, they didn't see her.]
"Here we go again."
Vermouth fired two smoke grenades, and taking advantage of the moment when the two security guards were blinded by the smoke, she slid in, turned, and swept her leg, knocking both security guards to the ground.
Then, looking up, she saw three more security personnel rushing towards her, but unless a dozen or so could subdue her all at once, it would be pointless.
The three security guards were easily subdued by Vermouth.
At this moment, Akizuki Kozo also brought up the interface of Hikigaya Hachiman's battle armor and pressed a few buttons.
"Are you still targeting me, Hachiman?"
[Zhuge Cong asked Hikigaya Hachiman, who was pursuing them from behind.]
"What do you think?"
"Wait, wait, wait, wait."
[Just as Hachiman Hikigaya finished speaking, he saw another drone force rushing towards Zhuge Cong from directly in front of him. This encirclement left them nowhere to run; the only breakthrough was that giant globe.]
[However, a globe is not without its flaws; at the current speed, it's very difficult to react within a globe, and besides, a globe isn't stationary.]
Meanwhile, Zhuge Cong had Jarvis set the optimal flight path.
[Zhuge Cong flew out safely following the route Jarvis had set for him, but the drones weren't so lucky; countless of them crashed and destroyed.]
"Have those guys arrived yet?"
[Zhuge Cong asked Jarvis, feeling he had been delayed for a long time, "Why haven't they arrived yet?"]
"Judging from the location, it will take at least five more minutes for Mr. Ishigami and the others to arrive."
"Fine, five minutes it is. I think I can stand for five minutes."
On the other side, Vermouth also pulled out two pistols and kicked the door open, but she didn't find Akizuki Kozo. The two "nannies" that Shinomiya Un'taka had arranged next to Akizuki Kozo were now hanging in mid-air, having been strangled to death by him.
"Damn it, I'm too late."
[Vermouth stared at the large hole in the center of the room; there was no doubt that Akizuki Kozo had escaped through that hole.]
Vermouth sat down directly in front of Kozo Akizuki's computer and began working on it.
【"What are you doing?"】
At this moment, Tsukasa Shishio also appeared, seemingly out of nowhere.
"You scared me! Weren't you supposed to be watching from the first floor?"
Vermouth breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the person who arrived was Tsukasa Shishio.
"There's no one left, what's the point of me looking? Besides, I'm afraid if something happens to you, I won't be able to explain it."
153: It has already turned into the shape of Hachiman Hikigaya.
"I'm trying to reactivate Hachiman Hikigaya's battle suit."
"If we can successfully reboot it, we might be able to free Hachiman Hikigaya's battle suit from Kozo Akizuki's control."
[Vermouth explained to Tsukasa Shishio while typing on the keyboard.]
"Then why don't you just turn off the power, unplug the wire, and then plug it back in? Wouldn't that be faster?"
"[Tsukasa Shishio asked curiously, and Vermouth chuckled in response.]"
"How come I didn't think of that? You're so smart."
"Unplugging the power cord won't work. The restart I'm talking about isn't the physical way of turning the power off and on, but a program restart."
[On the other side, Zhuge Cong spoke after flying out of the globe.]
"It'll be much better if we shake off a few. Hachiman, where's your position?"
[Just as Zhuge Cong was about to look around to see where Hikigaya Hachiman was, Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly charged at him from behind with unstoppable force.]
[Hachiman Hikigaya and Zhuge Cong crashed directly into the ground from the sky.]
Fortunately, after Hachiman Hikigaya and Zhuge Cong collided, they fell into a park within the Zhuge Exhibition, where there was no one else present.
"Clang, clang, clang."
[Hachiman Hikigaya and Zhuge Cong tumbled onto a shallow stream, their steel armor tumbling and clanging as it fell.]
[Zhuge Cong got up first and rushed forward to grab Hikigaya Hachiman around the waist, trying to control his movements. However, before Zhuge Cong could make a further move, Hikigaya Hachiman grabbed him and threw him over his shoulder.]
