The boy soldier next to the famous detective

The bullet fired from the VSS's muzzle, instantly crossing the distance between Jonah and Gin, grazing Gin's cheek.

Seeing that his first shot had missed its target, Jonah clicked his tongue, adjusted his trajectory, and continued firing at the rooftop where Gin was, suppressing Gin's space for counterattack.

With one hand covering his bleeding cheek, Gin ignored the pain and grinned menacingly at the rooftop where Jonah was.

With no intention of retreating, Gin quickly changed his position, using his extensive sniping experience to attempt a counterattack against Jonah.

One side launches a surprise attack and gains the upper hand; the other side is in a high position with a broad view.

For a moment, neither Jonah nor Gin were confident that they could hit each other without being injured.

Sweat beaded on Jonah's forehead. Although he could snipe, Jonah was better at close-range assaults than mid-to-long-range combat. Gin was no slouch either, and his quickly organized counterattack put Jonah under a lot of pressure.

"Dave, where are you?"

"I'm almost at the rooftop, Jonathan. How's it going on your end?"

"He didn't want to back down, but strangely, he shouldn't be treating me like this..."

Before he could finish expressing his doubts, Jonah, who was subconsciously looking down to change the magazine, was startled to see a bullet graz his head.

Jonah's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly rolled away to hide behind the water tank on the roof.

That bullet didn't come from Gin's direction, which means there was another sniper somewhere else!

Now Jonah finally understood why Gin was willing to shoot at him despite being constantly locked down. Jonah wanted to control Gin's movement to create an opportunity for Dave to get closer, and Gin thought the same thing!

He also wanted to pinpoint Jonah's location, creating an opportunity for his sniper hiding in the shadows.

Unfortunately, the opportunity was created, but the hidden sniper failed to seize it.

"Dave, I'm being watched. I can't help Gin with that. They also have a sniper."

"One more? FK, I got it. Jonathan, you watch yourself. Leave Gin to me, I won't let him get away with this!"

"Okay, I'll go catch the other sniper."

Although he could no longer withstand the pressure of another sniper to go toe-to-toe with Gin, Jonah has never been one to succumb to pressure.

If I can't match Gin, then I'll come to you!

Based on the direction from which the bullets had come, Jonah locked his gaze on an area. After slightly shifting his position, he carefully observed the rooftops of three buildings about 250 meters away, which were higher than his position, using a scope.

The leftmost one is out; the middle one is somewhat suspicious; so the rightmost one...

Snapped-

Another bullet grazed Jonah's scalp, causing Jonah to narrow his eyes and instantly raise his gun to strike.

found it!

Using cover to avoid Gin's firing window, Jonah switched opponents, aimed his VSS at the rightmost building, and quickly found his opponent's hiding place.

Without pursuing shooting accuracy, Jonah used the VSS's excellent burst fire stability to suppress the enemy with a full magazine of bullets.

The sniper in the shadows was suppressed by Jonah's firepower and could not raise his head until a round of shooting ended. Only then did he cautiously peek out and use a scope to check the roof where Jonah was.

With his eyes locked on the silhouette peeking through the gap in the cover, the sniper narrowed his eyes and steadily locked his gun there. As a sniper, patience is an essential quality. Now that Jonah's position has been locked, all he needs to do is wait for Jonah to make a move before firing.

......

"Whoosh—"

While the sniper maintained his aim, Jonah had already taken the opportunity to leave the rooftop and quickly ran downstairs to the building where the sniper was located.

After pausing briefly to catch his breath from the rapid run, Jonah looked up at the 13-story building in front of him and, instead of taking the elevator, went up the fire escape stairs on the outside.

This was a strategy Jonah had decided upon while continuously firing to suppress the sniper's line of sight. He secured his jacket in a gap in the cover to attract the sniper's attention, while he quickly approached the sniper's position.

If you can't take down the enemy with a sniper shot at medium to long range, then close the distance!

As Jonah approached the rooftop, he slowed his pace slightly, holding up the VSS, which was also quite effective in close combat, and slowly reached upwards.

As Jonah approached the exit on the rooftop, he crouched down, curled up in a small ball, and looked up from the shadows at the enemy who was supposed to be guarding the sniper's rear, but who was clearly distracted.

Jonah's eyes darted around, and he slung the VSS behind his back, drew the military knife strapped to the side of his calf, and silently crept up behind the enemy.

With one foot on the side railing of the stairs, Jonah leaped up and landed directly on the enemy's shoulder. He forcefully covered the enemy's mouth with one hand and swiftly slashed the enemy's neck with his saber, depriving the enemy of the chance to call for help.

puff-

But the corpse still made a sound when it fell to the ground. Jonah, realizing this, knew that his stealth had failed. He threw the VSS in front of him, kicked open the exit door on the roof, and without saying a word, fired a flashbang.

A blinding white light erupted on the roof. With the help of the flashbang, Jonah successfully stormed onto the roof, quickly scanned the area with his gun, and spotted a figure scrambling to take cover on the southeast side of the roof.

Jonah was about to rush over when he was warned by a shotgun blast.

Despite wearing a bulletproof vest, the pressure of facing a shotgun at close range was still too great. Jonah had no choice but to retreat a bit. Then, unwilling to give up, he pulled out a defensive grenade, timed it perfectly, and threw it.

With a loud bang, Jonah heard no screams. After thinking for a moment, he cautiously moved forward with his gun raised. When he passed the corner of the cover, he carefully probed several times before suddenly swinging the gun out. He found that there was no one at the place where the grenade exploded.

Looking at the scene before him with confusion, Jonah suddenly realized something and ran to the eaves on the side, where he saw a rappelling device that had been set up in advance.

Jonah quickly leaned over the roof and saw the sniper who had already descended to the ground via rope and was beginning to retreat rapidly.

Gritting his teeth, Jonah quickly aimed his gun and, before the sniper entered the waiting car, fired a bullet into the sniper's right shoulder. He then fired several more shots at the car's roof, watching the car drive away with a cold gaze.

Knowing he had caused such a commotion, Jonah knew he couldn't stay put, so he quickly ran downstairs, pressing the call button on his headset as he went.

"Dave, I didn't catch that sniper. He got away wounded."

"What a coincidence, I failed to catch Gin either, and I also retreated injured!"

"You hurt him?"

"No, he's the one who injured me! FK, this guy who was wearing a trench coat and pretending to be something he's not while killing people, he's really something!"
