Chapter 620: The Advancing Mummy
“What’s wrong?” Yuzuriha Rinai asked, a bit puzzled as she noticed Lin Qiye’s expression change slightly.
“Someone is following us,” Lin Qiye replied, glancing at the road behind them through the rearview mirror. He added, “A lot of people, and they have guns.”
Lin Qiye’s mental energy had already covered the entire street. He sensed something was off when a dozen cars merged into the lane behind them. After a careful search, he discovered a large number of firearms among those vehicles.
The origins of this group were certainly not simple, and it was highly likely they were after Yuzuriha Rinai.
Upon hearing there were guns, Rinai furrowed her brows tightly. She leaned closer to Lin Qiye and whispered, “Is it… that gang?”
“Very likely.”
“How did they know we were here? Aren’t those thugs already…”
Lin Qiye’s mind raced, quickly piecing together a possible scenario, and his expression darkened.
“Who would have thought that this gang actually has connections with the police?”
Rinai was taken aback, and her sharp mind immediately grasped Lin Qiye’s implication. “You mean, the Osaka police station set me up to collect the belongings as bait!?”
“It seems that this gang has prepared for both options,” Lin Qiye calmly analyzed. “Since they are a powerful gang, they wouldn’t bet everything on those low-level thugs. Starting from the day after Yuzuriha Heisei was killed, they used their connections with the police station to call your home, using the belongings as bait to lure you to Osaka, leading you into a trap.
But they didn’t expect those foolish thugs to drive you out of your home in search of what they wanted, which meant you never received that call. It wasn’t until we returned to your house that we learned about this.”
“So, in the end, we still walked into their trap?” Rinai asked, a bit worried. “What do we do now?”
Lin Qiye fell into deep thought.
At this moment, he couldn’t use the Forbidden Ruins. The best plan would be to summon Hongyan and escape… but simply running away wouldn’t solve the problem.
Since this gang had connections in both the underworld and the legitimate world, they would eventually find Rinai again through various means. By then, she would be facing more than just a group of thugs; it would be one of the largest yakuza families in Japan!
Their biggest problem now was that they lacked information. Why were these gangsters after Rinai? What exactly did Yuzuriha Heisei leave her… they were completely in the dark.
Perhaps this was an opportunity for them.
As long as they could capture a few alive, they could further understand the truth of the matter.
Lin Qiye quickly made a decision in his mind. He turned to look back, and on the wide street, the dozen or so cars loaded with heavy weapons were trailing behind them, maintaining a distance to avoid exposure while ensuring the taxi remained in their line of sight. It looked quite professional.
Unfortunately, you have already exposed yourselves.
Lin Qiye thought to himself.
He took out chalk from his pocket and quickly began drawing on the taxi’s roof.
“Hey! Wait a minute! What are you doing? This is a taxi; you can’t draw on it!” The taxi driver exclaimed in surprise at Lin Qiye’s actions.
Lin Qiye glanced at him and tossed 80,000 yen onto the passenger seat.
“Shut up and drive.”
“Sure, please go ahead!” The taxi driver smiled politely.
As Lin Qiye drew the magic circle, he kept an eye on the dozen cars behind them, his eyes narrowing slightly.
“Are there any streets nearby with less traffic?”
The driver paused for a moment. “Yes, if you turn right at the next two streets and then left, you’ll reach Yamazaki Bridge. The lanes there are quite wide, but due to poor road planning, very few cars use that route…”
“Drive there.”
“Aren’t you going to Dotonbori? That’s in the opposite direction?”
“I changed my destination.”
“Okay…”
The gang’s vehicles had not realized that Lin Qiye had discovered them and continued to follow slowly. After passing two streets, they all drove onto Yamazaki Bridge.
At this point, Lin Qiye had finished the last stroke of the second magic circle.
On the taxi’s roof, two complex magic circles overlapped, with intricate lines that dazzled the eyes. Rinai curiously examined these mysterious patterns, not understanding what Lin Qiye was planning.
“No matter what happens in a moment, keep driving forward, floor the gas, don’t stop, and don’t look back, understood?” Lin Qiye instructed the driver.
The taxi driver looked a bit confused. “Sir, there’s a speed limit on this bridge; flooring the gas will get you fined…”
“…” Lin Qiye took out the last 30,000 yen from his pocket and pressed it into the driver’s hand. “Get us across this bridge at full speed and drop her off at the entrance to Dotonbori.”
“Got it!” The driver nodded decisively.
Lin Qiye turned back and reminded Rinai, “Take care of yourself.”
After saying that, he slammed both hands down on the two magic circles on the roof and quickly opened the door, floating out like a ghost.
Boom—!!
Two blinding beams of magical light erupted from the top of the taxi!
The dozen or so cars following the taxi onto Yamazaki Bridge instinctively hit the brakes, their occupants frozen in place at the sight.
He jumped out?
“Mr.井, they seem to have discovered us; that young man has jumped out of the car,” someone in one of the vehicles reported the situation in real-time.
“Don’t worry about him; go after the girl.”
“Understood!”
The deep roar of engines echoed on the bridge as these vehicles accelerated. Now that they knew they had been exposed, they no longer had any intention of hiding. Each of these vehicles had been violently modified, and they began to speed recklessly across the bridge!
At that moment, a small, skinny mummy stood up in the middle of the road, looking bewildered.
“Hey!?”
It tilted its head in confusion at the dozen cars rushing toward it.
Mumu:
“What is that?” The leading car’s occupant squinted. “A doll? How does it seem to be moving?”
“Forget it, just run it over!”
Vroom—!
The deep engine roared again.
The car charged toward Mumu at an astonishing speed.
“Mumu, blow them up,” Lin Qiye’s voice echoed in its ears.
Mumu instantly perked up. After a grunt, its entire body swelled, and a massive rocket launcher emerged from its tiny frame, resting on its shoulder, the barrel aimed at the speeding car…
The gang members inside the car widened their eyes in shock, their expressions turning ghostly!
