    Rum vomiting, final positioning

    Only half an hour after the turmoil at the doctor’s house subsided, the rapid encrypted communication sound rang again. The ringtone was particularly harsh in the quiet night, showing a solemn tone that could not be delayed.

    The caller was Jiang Guling.

    “Rum has made a move.” The voice on the other end of the phone was very low, but it contained unconcealable excitement and solemnity. “He couldn’t bear it anymore and told everything he knew.”

    Akai Shuichi’s fingertips suddenly tightened, and just when he was about to ask, Gin had already taken the communicator, his dark green eyes instantly darkened, and his tone was cold and straightforward: “Tell the important point, the whereabouts of that gentleman.”

    “The hiding place of that gentleman is deep in the mountains of Nagano Prefecture. It is a secret stronghold that was transformed from the Kirigakure Shrine that has been abandoned for many years.” Rei Fukiya’s voice paused and his tone became more serious. “Rum explained that the defense there is extremely tight. They are all the last diehard members of the organization. At least three sets of backup underground passages have been dug specifically for emergency evacuation. It is difficult to completely contain it.”

    “Is the location specific? Do you have precise coordinates?” Mary’s voice joined from the side, with the rigor and precision unique to MI6.

    “The full name of the shrine is the Kirigakure Shrine in the mountains of Nagano. The surrounding terrain is complex and easy to defend but difficult to attack.” Rei Fukiya responded in a deep voice, “But Rum has never seen the true face of that gentleman. He has only heard his voice handling affairs and seen his vague back. No one in the stronghold has seen his true appearance. They all act according to orders.”

    Gin was silent for a moment, and a flash of confusion flashed in his eyes.He has followed the organization for many years, and knows better than anyone else how cautious and suspicious that gentleman is. Even if the Kirigakure Shrine is really a stronghold, it is only one layer among the layers of disguise, and will never be his final destination. But even this layer of clues is the only breakthrough to defeat the organization at present.

    Akai Shuichi immediately made arrangements, with sharp eyes like an eagle, and a firm tone: “Inform all three parties to secretly gather at Tokyo Station in one hour and set off for Nagano in a unified manner. Gin, you will act with me; Fukiya, you will lead the main force of Japanese public security and be responsible for the frontal breakthrough; Mari, you will take Masumi to the back mountain, cut off all underground evacuation channels, and prevent anyone from escaping; Conan, you will stay at the doctor’s house, monitor the communication signals of the shrine through remote equipment, and provide support at any time.”

    “Understood.”

    “Roger that.”

    Several people responded at the same time, and the encrypted communication was immediately cut off.

    The atmosphere in the room instantly became tense, the oppressive feeling of an impending war filled the air, and everyone’s expression became serious.

    Gin leaned against the table. The wound on his left shoulder became more painful due to the previous running, but he didn’t care at all. Instead, he raised his eyes to look at Akai Shuichi, with a trace of imperceptible worry hidden in his eyes, and asked softly: “Can your wound still hold up?”

    “It’s a small thing, you can hold on.” Akai Shuichi took a step forward and gently held his hand. The warmth in his palm was transferred steadily, with a comforting power. “Compared to ending all this, this injury is nothing. I will accompany you until the end.”

    He lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on the back of Gin’s hand. There were no unnecessary words of love, but the most firm promise was hidden, which was the peace of mind of fighting side by side.

    An hour later, Tokyo Station was bustling with people. The hurried passengers did not notice at all that several groups of people in the corner were quietly and secretly converging.

    Akai Shuichi and Gin stood side by side. They put on light combat uniforms and hid their weapons deep in their backpacks. They looked just like ordinary travelers, but the aura around them was calm and sharp.

    Mari and Sera Masumi were neatly dressed and fully equipped. Their eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly, always on guard against emergencies.

    Fangtani Rei and several public security members disguised as ordinary passengers were scattered around, observing the surrounding environment calmly to ensure that the team would not be exposed.

    Conan was sitting in Dr. Agasa’s car, staring at the computer screen in front of him, monitoring the signal fluctuations in the direction of Kirigakure Shrine through a remote device in real time, and tapping the keyboard quickly with his fingertips.

    “I have blocked some of the regular communications around the shrine to prevent them from sending messages to the outside world.” Conan’s voice came from the earphones, with the calmness of a young man, “But they also have a dedicated backup channel, which I am trying my best to crack. In addition, I have detected that they have recently strengthened the defense of the back mountain. They are obviously prepared in advance.”

    “They are waiting for us to come to the door.” Gin said coldly, with a firm tone, “Rum has been arrested. They have long expected that we will follow the clues to find him. This is a confrontation that has been prepared for a long time.”

    Fang Gu Ling nodded in agreement, raised his hand and glanced at his watch, and said solemnly: “The time is up, set off separately, act according to the plan, be careful.”

    The four groups of people immediately dispersed, like a large airtight net, slowly closing towards the deep mountains of Nagano Prefecture.

    Three hours later, the vehicle stopped at the foot of a deep mountain. Further ahead, there was a rugged forest road. Driving into it would only reveal its traces.

    “From here on, we can only move forward on foot. Everyone, lower your voices and don’t alert the patrolling organization members.” Fangtani Rei warned in a low voice and got out of the car first.

    Everyone got out of the car one after another, loaded up their equipment, and quietly entered the dense forest.The mountain road is rugged and slippery, and thick leaves cover the road. If you are not careful, you will stumble and slip.Gin deliberately slowed down his pace and walked beside Akai Shuichi, reaching out to help him from time to time, carefully avoiding movements that could easily cause wounds, and silently protecting him.

    Akai Shuichi did not refuse, but quietly held his hand back, their fingertips intertwined lightly, and the warmth in his eyes dispelled the chill around him.

    It was eerily quiet in the depths of the forest, with only the rustle of the wind blowing through the leaves and the suppressed and steady breathing of everyone. The atmosphere was extremely solemn.

    Suddenly, Conan’s voice came from the earphones, with a hint of urgency: “Be careful! There are traps in the woods ahead. They are infrared sensing devices and mines commonly used by organizations. Don’t move forward rashly!”

    Everyone immediately stopped and held their breath on guard.

    Gin raised his eyes and scanned the woods in front of him, his eyes accurately focused on the hidden dangers, and made arrangements in a deep voice: “There is a trip mine five meters to the left, and an infrared sensor line ten meters to the right. The road in the middle is camouflaged by branches, and there are pressure trigger traps below, which are the usual methods of the organization.”

    “Can you accurately identify the location?” Jiang Guling asked slightly surprised. These traps are extremely hidden and difficult for ordinary people to detect.

    “I have been in the organization for many years, and I am very familiar with these layout techniques.” Gin said calmly, quickly assigning tasks, “Shuichi, you go around from the right side and cut off the infrared induction line; Fanggu, you go to the left side to dismantle trip mines; Masumi and I go in the middle, clear the pressure traps; Mari, you climb up to a high place and set up a sniper rifle to cover us the whole time.”

    “Yes!”

    Everyone acted quickly and cooperated tacitly without any panic.

    Shuichi Akai quietly walked around to the right side, and accurately cut off the hair-thin sensor wire with his fingertips in a neat movement.

    Fangtani Ling squatted on the left side and carefully removed the trip mine. His technique was professional and the mechanism was not triggered in the whole process.

    Gin and Sera Masumi walked slowly into the middle path, tapping the ground with their toes, feeling the subtle undulations of the ground, crushing the pressure trigger points hidden under the fallen leaves one by one, and safely clearing the hidden dangers.

    Mary climbed up the tall tree trunk with great skill and skill, set up the sniper rifle, and scanned the surroundings through the scope, always alert for emergencies and escorting everyone.

    After a few minutes, all traps were cleared and the road ahead was completely safe.

    Everyone continued to move towards the top of the mountain, with steady steps, approaching step by step the Kirigakure Shrine hiding endless darkness.

    As the distance gets closer, the outline of the shrine becomes clearer.It was an old and dilapidated shrine. The wooden buildings were mottled and faded, and the walls were covered with vines. It looked desolate and dilapidated, but it exuded an oppressive weirdness. Under the dilapidated appearance, there were countless murderous intentions hidden.

    At the entrance of the shrine, two members of the organization were patrolling with their backs to the crowd. The guns in their hands were slowly turning, and their eyes were scanning the surroundings vigilantly, without any awareness of the approaching danger.

    “Get started, solve it quietly, don’t alert the people inside.” Gin ordered in a low voice.

    Akai Shuichi took the lead and accurately shot one of them in the neck with an anesthesia needle. The man instantly fell to the ground without making any sound.

    Fangtani Rei also acted at the same time, quietly walking around behind the other person, accurately hitting the back of the other person’s neck with his elbow, instantly knocking him out.

    The two were quickly dragged to the side and hidden behind a tree, leaving no trace.

    Everyone continued to get closer and finally arrived at the main entrance of the shrine.The thick wooden door is tightly closed, with complex dark patterns engraved on it. It is the organization’s exclusive encrypted door lock.

    “This is a special encrypted door of the organization. It requires a password and the fingerprint of an insider to open it.” Gin took a step forward, gently slid his fingertips on the dark lines, and said in a calm tone, “Rum explained that the initial password here is the date of establishment of the organization.”

    He quickly entered a series of numbers and pressed his fingerprint on the sensing area.

    “Dip——”

    There was a soft sound, the door lock was unlocked, and the heavy front door was slowly pushed inwards.

    A cold breath hit his face, with a dusty musty smell and a bone-chilling chill.

    The lights inside the shrine were dim, and the two sides were neatly lined with organization members holding weapons. Their eyes were cold and stern, staring at the people at the door, and their whole bodies were full of murderous intent.

    On the high platform in the center, there was a man in a black windbreaker sitting, his back always turned to everyone, his figure was slightly stooped, exuding a gloomy aura.

    That is the man behind the entire black organization – that gentleman.

    “It’s finally here. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” The person on the high platform turned around slowly, his voice was hoarse and dry, with a playful sneer, “Akai Shuichi, Gin, Fangya Rei, and the Akai family, you finally arrived.”

    He wore a cold silver mask on his face, covering his entire face, revealing only a pair of sinister eyes, staring at the people in the audience with undisguised malice.

    “The end of the organization has arrived.” Shuichi Akai raised the gun in his hand, his eyes firm, and his whole body was full of determination.

    “The end of the world?” The gentleman sneered, suddenly raised his hand and waved, his tone was cruel, “Wrong, it’s your end!”

    As soon as the words fell, the secret doors on both sides of the shrine suddenly opened with a bang, and countless diehards of the organization armed with weapons rushed out from the darkness, instantly surrounding everyone, leaving no escape route.

    A final battle involving life and death has officially begun.

    The sound of gunshots, explosions, and brief struggles instantly resounded throughout the Kirigakure Shrine, breaking the silence deep in the mountains.

    The people of the tripartite alliance and the last loyalist of the black organization launched a desperate struggle. Every step was a life and death contest.

    Gin and Akai Shuichi always stood side by side without flinching. Their guns were aimed at the gentleman on the high platform at the same time.

    They have only one goal – to uncover the silver mask, find out the real culprit behind the scenes, and completely end this dark organization that has shrouded the world for many years.
