Chapter 365: Throwing You a Rem!
After this, they encountered several other groups of demons, but Ryohei and Jashin-chan still didn't even catch a glimpse of the enemies' shadows before they were dealt with by Lucoa and Pekola together.
The notification sound of "Kill Successful" kept coming from their wristbands...
"I say..."
Jashin-chan's initial enthusiasm gradually waned into a lack of interest.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at Lucoa and Pekola with suspicion:
"Are you two secretly cheating? Too cunning!"
Without waiting for their answer, Jashin-chan clenched her fists, tapped the ground with the tip of her tail, and said indignantly:
"Cheating without taking me along, how can you have the nerve!"
"Didn't cheat."
Pekola turned her head to look at Jashin-chan and denied it flatly.
Lucoa raised a slender white finger and explained: "Our perception ability is just a little bit stronger than yours..."
Ryohei believed Lucoa's words.
However, this was indeed a bit boring, lacking any sense of experience, so he said: "Next time you spot other demons, don't rush to act. Let Jashin-chan and me fire a couple of shots too... at least give us a sense of participation."
"Okay~." Lucoa agreed with a smile, and Pekola also gave an "Mn."
"..."
Unknowingly, the group arrived at the edge of the jungle.
Through the twisted and interlaced branches, the outline of the city not far away could be seen.
"Eight o'clock direction, about 700 meters..."
Scout Pekola suddenly spoke up: "Red-roofed house with half the courtyard wall collapsed and windows basically all broken. There are two demons ambushing on the second floor, and three demons on the first floor."
"Red roof..." Ryohei subconsciously looked towards the front left.
"700 meters..."
Jashin-chan instantly perked up, gripped the gun in her hand tightly, and repeatedly instructed Lucoa and Pekola uneasily: "This time let Servant and me handle it; you two cover us."
"Mn."
Having agreed beforehand, Lucoa and Pekola had no objections.
Ryohei took a grenade from his tactical vest and suggested to Jashin-chan:
"Let's get closer; this position isn't good for attacking... How about we use grenades to bomb the demons on the second floor first?"
"That works!"
Jashin-chan's eyes lit up, two puffs of white air spurted from her nostrils, and she agreed excitedly.
Using the jungle as cover, the group moved sneakily towards the target house.
"Almost there..."
Jashin-chan hid behind a thick tree trunk, unconsciously lowering her voice: "Getting any closer risks exposure."
"Mn."
Ryohei withdrew his gaze from the red-roofed house, turned back to confirm the specific positions of the five demons with Pekola, exchanged a tacit glance with Jashin-chan, and fine-tuned the throwing angle.
The two pulled the safety pins almost simultaneously, arms swinging violently—
The grenades drew two neat arcs in the air, passing precisely through the second-floor window!
After throwing the grenades, Ryohei and Jashin-chan dodged back simultaneously.
Just as they left their original spots, a burst of bullets sprayed "pew pew pew—" at their previous positions, dust flying.
"..." Ryohei's hair stood on end instantly, a thrill of excitement shooting from his spine to the top of his head.
Almost simultaneously, Lucoa threw a smoke grenade. Thick smoke spread rapidly, providing valuable cover for Ryohei and Jashin-chan.
Immediately after, two explosions rang out successively with Boom, Boom—. The notification sound of "First Blood" came from Ryohei's wristband. He instinctively raised the corners of his mouth—
Got a kill!
"..." Jashin-chan, retreating alongside him, heard the notification from Ryohei's wristband. She glanced sideways, seeing none for herself, and felt instantly disappointed.
But she adjusted her mindset immediately, found another cover to hide, and raised her gun.
"Grenades incoming, retreat!"
Pekola's cool voice suddenly rang in their ears. Ryohei and Jashin-chan were startled and threw themselves backward almost instinctively.
The next moment—
Boom, Boom, Boom—!
Three grenades exploded loudly, one after another. Violent shockwaves wrapped with shrapnel and smoke swept outwards, thick dust soaring into the sky, instantly swallowing everything around.
Ryohei felt his scalp numb, his back soaked—
The opposing side had such rich combat experience! Such fierce firepower!
"..." He held his breath, quickly crawled up, flashed behind a tree, casually took another grenade from his tactical vest, pulled the pin, and threw it with all his might into the smoke based on intuition.
"Throwing you a Rem!"
Jashin-chan also found cover and threw a grenade...
"..."
With Lucoa and Pekola only playing support, Ryohei and Jashin-chan fought fiercely with the opposing side for several minutes, neither side able to do anything to the other for a while.
Finally, Jashin-chan pondered—
There were only two damage dealers on her side, while the opponent had four; obviously a disadvantage.
So she asked the two "cheaters," Lucoa and Pekola, to take action.
Once Lucoa and Pekola joined, the tide of battle turned instantly. In the blink of an eye, they easily secured the victory.
After experiencing a few more encounters, the countdown notification suddenly came from the teleportation wristbands.
This game of True Demon CS unknowingly came to an end!
"..."
"What a hearty battle!"
Back at the stall—
After returning the equipment and wristbands, Jashin-chan put one hand on her waist, lifted her chin slightly, and flicked her bangs triumphantly.
Ryohei looked at her and teased: "Fierce as a tiger in operation, look at the record... hmm, you have zero kills, I at least have one."
"That was just your good luck, dumb luck, picking up a kill!" Jashin-chan looked over unconvinced immediately.
"Luck is also part of strength," Ryohei said nonchalantly.
"Ryohei-kun."
At this time, Pekola tugged at Ryohei's sleeve, her voice cool: "You go pick the blind box."
The "Kill King" of this True Demon CS match was surprisingly her!
Kill count—22!
By the way, the second place was Lucoa, with 15 kills!
"You pick it yourself; let me see what you can get." Ryohei looked at Pekola in surprise and declined with a smile.
"Mn, okay."
Pekola nodded and didn't refuse.
She followed the staff to the blind box display area, looked around, and casually picked one up.
After she opened it, Ryohei and the others looked over curiously—
Inside the blind box was a card...
