Miss Assassin is heavily addicted

Chapter 113, Section 29: I've come to save you! I've come to save you!
Time goes back to five minutes ago.

On the second platform of the China Tower, maintenance worker Xi'ou was grimly repairing the employee elevator. Gunshots and screams emanating from the top of the tower above filled him with dread, making him realize that the group of police officers were likely in grave danger.

Damn it, heaven knows why the third platform would cause such a mess! There must be at least a dozen dead already, right? Those bodies that fell from a hundred meters high crashed to the ground and turned into a pile of mud, and the screams of the citizens below sounded like they were on a roller coaster!
"Holy crap! I see several police cars parked down there again!"

At this moment, staff member Dorrance looked down through binoculars, his face showing embarrassment. He didn't go down, nor did Laun, because the elevator was to be used to evacuate the crowd first. There were still four or five executive officers left behind, and they looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

"We have to go up and provide support!" one of the commissioners said.

"Didn't you see the people falling from the emergency exit? They've definitely set up their guns! Climbing up from there is suicide. The only option now is to wait for the elevator to be fixed!"

"Damn it, how much longer do we have to wait!"

After a heated debate, the executive officers came up with a direction, which made the mechanic, Theo, sweat even more. Ignoring his brow, he loudly explained:
"We're doing our best! We have to ensure your safety at least. We can't let you get on the elevator and then fall, can we? Five minutes, the last five minutes!"

Just as the words were spoken, the elevator went down again, indicating that the last group of citizens had been evacuated.

The second platform was now left with only a dozen or so people, who paced back and forth anxiously, some with furrowed brows and others with worried expressions.

Officer Lawn wrung his hands nervously, because he had also seen the commissioner fall from above, his body a bloody mess on the ground, a sight too gruesome to bear... But Leon had chosen to go up for him earlier, risking his life, and now he only hoped that Leon was alright.

Ding.

A few tens of seconds later.

The civilian elevator on the second platform reopened, but the elevator car wasn't empty; people got on. Several police officers and enforcement bureau specialists emerged, a total of thirteen people, led by the same black-clad specialist.

"Hello, who is in charge here?"

Winston walked over with a calm expression, carrying a black cane, like a passing gentleman, squinting as he surveyed the room.

He was indeed just passing by. Not long ago, he was going to accompany Isabel to a 6 p.m. dinner, a national-level political banquet. But halfway there, they encountered a sudden incident at the Eiffel Tower. The car radio had already classified the incident as a level 10 danger. The incident report showed that the villains had hijacked the important third signal layer, and there were even dozens of casualties. So Isabel decided to turn around directly.

Now a cordon has been set up at the base of the tower, and the arriving paramedics are sighing and symbolically carrying away the lifeless commissioner on a stretcher.

Of course, they weren't the only ones who arrived at the scene immediately.

"Is this elevator broken?"

Lorice frowned as she approached, feeling a headache coming on as she watched the two engineers frantically fiddling around in front of the employee elevator. She had been patrolling the area when she heard the full-frequency dispatch message from inside the vehicle, so she brought her team over.

This time, the spy department even had Special Agent Jin Hua with her.

Lor Lozoren—a Gold Flower-level specialist, currently under the support department of the intelligence division—stood to the side with a slightly serious expression.

The violent incident that occurred in the Kobolo district more than ten days ago had far-reaching consequences. Although half of the C country's spy squad was eliminated, the police officers also suffered heavy casualties. Afterwards, the authorities summarized the experience and decided that any operation would require the cooperation and coordination of a special commissioner. So now, Commissioner Lor is here with Lorris.

"Yes...it's broken."

Western Europe gave another sheepish reply.

He understood that this group of people were all new, and all he could do was answer their questions dryly.

"Is there any way to fix it now?" Winston stepped forward and asked. "I have other plans, and I only have less than twenty minutes left. It's okay if I'm late, but if possible, I'd like to attend that dinner party. Thank you for your help."

Winston spoke sincerely, bowing slightly to the engineer, Theo, and using honorifics. This flattered Theo, and he broke out in a cold sweat, wishing he could fix it right now.

Get it fixed quickly!
“I, I will try my best.” Xi’ou paused and said dryly, “If we reduce the personnel capacity by half, it can be repaired in about a minute. The main problem is that the load-bearing steel cables are broken. It will take time to reconnect them to the main carriage.”

“How many people are in the half?” Winston asked.

“Seven…six!” the Western European said conservatively.

Hearing this answer, Winston nodded in agreement. He could have the remaining people board the next batch later. There were still agents fighting at the top of the tower, so there was no reason to delay.

"Then let's do half of it. It can be fixed within a minute."

Western Europe breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay."

Then, turning to look at the people around him, there were more than twenty people in total, more than half of whom were agents from the Enforcement Bureau. The light blonde policewoman who had followed earlier and her team were essentially just assisting. If any citizens were injured on the second platform, they would be responsible for taking them away.

They weren't needed for this battle, so Winston began to assign the order of operations.

He led two Golden Flower specialists and three Silver Flower specialists up in the first batch, which was the most outstanding group of people present, based on their strength.

The second batch was then arranged in descending order of strength.

“I will contact you over the radio if things go smoothly,” Winston said methodically. “Similarly, I will contact you if there are any unexpected events during the operation.”

"Yes!"

Meanwhile, Western Europe also wiped the sweat from its brow with a sigh of relief.

He finally fixed the damn employee elevator, while his colleague next to him collapsed to the ground, his legs giving way. No one knew how much pressure they were under.

Seeing this, Winston calmly walked into the elevator.

But at this moment.

"I'll go as well."

At that moment, an unexpected voice rang out.

Loris stepped forward, her eyes filled with sorrow, her fists clenched and trembling slightly. At the elevator, the agents turned back, puzzled, because she was just a police officer, not a member of the enforcement bureau, and not suited for combat.

Loris had a reason to go.

Officer Lauen, standing nearby, touched his thinning bald spot, his brow furrowed with worry, hoping only to bring Leon back safely.

"Don't worry about me holding you back... I'm not weak."

After speaking, Lor glanced at his colleagues around him, then looked at Loris standing in front of him with a serious expression, brushed aside his curly hair, and said with a hint of melancholy in his eyes:

"She is indeed quite capable, at least on par with me."

These words smoothed out Winston's furrowed brow.

Since the other party has the ability and the willingness, it doesn't matter if we give up a spot, because the batches are decided based on ability anyway.

"Please come in, brave policewoman."

"Thank you." Loris took a deep breath.

A moment later, the elevator doors slammed shut.

The people on the second platform felt the oppressive atmosphere dissipate. Officer Laun was already praying with his hands clasped together, and the two maintenance engineers were also praying, hoping that the elevator they had repaired wouldn't break down while ascending. The remaining specialists were preparing to go up as the second batch of support, their faces grave and ready to go.

As for the staff member, Dorrance—

He was a completely unrelated person who shouldn't have been involved at all. As the person in charge here, he had already explained the structure of the National Tower and the whole process twice. Who knows if someone else will come looking for the person in charge? Now he dared not go down using the public elevator, so he could only stand on top and look around with his binoculars.

Then he saw it.

The afterglow of the setting sun shimmered, and the swirling clouds and dark blue sky created a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere as the night drew to a close.

A bullet appears to have been fired from above the tower.

It was like a bullet that disappeared into the water without a sound, and it was impossible to know where it hit. But at the same moment, Dorrance saw that somewhere in Greenley City, a burst of light, like fireworks, had already begun to bloom.

That was a magnificent display of light ignited by a certain building.

Dorrance was stunned, as if that bullet had ignited everything. ...

—Iron Tower. Third Platform—

"Ding."

The sound of the elevator doors opening rang out, sounding particularly clear in the silent third platform, like the knocking of an uninvited guest.

Danger lurked all around.

Winston stood at the very front, his demeanor gradually becoming serious.

The elevator doors on both sides slowly opened and began to retract. This was the most dangerous moment because everyone inside the elevator was unaware of what awaited them.

The rear staff were ready to throw out smoke bombs.

But with a crisp sound outside, the pull ring did not escape Winston's notice. He knew that the fuse of a fragmentation grenade had been pulled, and the other party was going to throw it into the elevator car the instant the door opened.

Winston wasn't the only one to notice the sound.

"Be careful." Lor frowned as well.

Soon, the black round object was about to be thrown.

Lor's leather boots had anticipated this, catching the object with a soft force just before it touched the ground!

Winston, who was in front of him, rushed out instantly. At his speed, even if a fragmentation grenade were to detonate, it wouldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

A barrage of bullets came hurtling towards him!
Winston dodged to the side without slowing his charge. His eyes narrowed as he spotted the gunman hiding behind the pillar, but something seemed amiss—Executive Commissioner Krause had already called for backup multiple times over the radio.

But now that he has arrived at the third platform, there is no sound of battle at all.

Could he have been killed?
No, it shouldn't be possible.

Winston didn't think much of it; his immediate priority was eliminating the female gunslinger with the assault rifle. Her accuracy was good, and if left unchecked, the people behind her would be pinned down in front of the elevator.

Since no one else has been found nearby, we can only deal with her for now.

Winston continued to charge forward, closing the distance to prepare for hand-to-hand combat, his gentleman's cane already drawn, revealing a slender, swift dueling sword.

And that's when Winston was fighting the gunman.

Everyone on the third platform has their own things to do.

……

In a corner.

Krauser was panting heavily, his back pressed against the wall, blood on his shoulders and cheeks, looking rather disheveled.

Listening to his own heart pounding like a thunder drum, Krauser felt nothing but rage.

Damn.

He already knew the identity of the person he was fighting—undoubtedly a monster. If the elevator hadn't been repaired and reinforcements from the Enforcement Bureau hadn't arrived, allowing her to deal with the arriving specialists, her situation would have been even more dire in a minute or two.

This was Krauser's first time facing a state-level assassin. He had always thought that the title was nothing but an illusion, but now, he didn't want to face him alone a second time. Those deep red eyes had left a deep impression on him and had become a knot in his heart.

Just then, another burst of gunfire rang out.

Klaus identified the sound of the M4 assault rifle as coming from the female gunman in the doctor's uniform, indicating that the support specialists had already engaged in combat.

Krauser decided to rest for another thirty seconds, after which he would go out; his heart was pounding and he was exhausted.

This is not an escape… Klaus thought through gritted teeth.

He will take revenge.

……

"Spread out! Be on alert!"

"Doranfen, go and help Commissioner Winston!"

"Watch your surroundings!"

The area in front of the elevator car was still in chaos. The fragmentation grenade that had been kicked away had detonated on the ground. Although no one was injured, the dust it kicked up blurred the vision of the agents behind it, and the deafening explosion was deafening.

Winston, who was the first to rush out, was also obscured by the dust and could not be seen by them.

Undoubtedly, everyone inside the elevator had already taken the opportunity to crouch down and exit, forming a defensive formation to guard their surroundings. Because they lacked intelligence from the third platform, the scouts had only sent back screams of danger and requests for backup, so they were now on high alert.

He raised his gun and observed the dust rising in all directions.

At the same time, the Golden Flower Specialist, having received the order, rushed to support Dolanfen and broke out of the gray fog.

But there's one person among them who doesn't fit in.

She also wanted to rush out.

Hey! Loris, where are you going?!

Lor saw Lori approaching without any warning, her eyes filled with anxiety and worry as she looked around, as if searching for something.

“Don’t worry about me!” Loris shouted.

Seeing this, Lor felt a headache coming on and couldn't understand it. He wanted to go up and stop her, but at this moment, a muffled groan came from the far right.

"Uh... cough..."

Then came the sound of a body falling to the ground.

"Enemy attack!" a commissioner shouted!

He quickly pressed the trigger of his rifle, and a burst of bullets shot out in that direction! The sound of bullets pounding was piercing and violent!

Unfortunately, all that could be heard was the sound of something hitting the wall and the steel beams.

"Watch your surroundings! There's someone there!"

She's with me!

"Go, go outside!"

"Uh……"

One scream after another rang out, leaving the commissioners with far too little time to react. Before Lor and his men could even emerge from the dust and mist, the ghostly enemy was already upon them, seemingly part of a premeditated ambush!

Seeing this, Lor could no longer care about Lolis and could only be extremely vigilant in dealing with this enemy who had killed two agents without even seeing his face, roaring while covered in sweat.

"Where is he?!"

"This, here—ah!"
