Fighting you is like being in jail.

"Too fast! My Beach Boy can't keep up at all!" Bessie panicked, gripping her fishing rod and trying her best to control the chase.

"Damn it—!" Gachu cursed as he summoned his Stand.

"White Album—! Freeze it!"

A burst of cold air erupted, instantly spreading across the road, freezing the ground instantly.

squeak-!

Shizuka Heike's sports car sped across the icy ground. Although the wheels were slipping, the pursuit speed was greatly reduced.

"Yoshi! Slow down! Now, Bessie!"

"it is good!"

Bessie's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the fishing hook flew towards Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"Beach boy!"

"As long as we kill the driver, we can escape!" he shouted nervously, pulling on the fishing rod to speed up the attack.

But just as the fishing hook was about to enter the sports car,

"Don't underestimate my favorite sports car all these years!"

Heike Shizuka smirked smugly and floored the gas pedal again.

Om-!

With the engine humming, even if the road is slippery or icy, as long as the horsepower is high enough and there is even a little bit of friction, it can rush up!

Whoosh!

The red sports car accelerated on the straight road, leaving the pursuing fishing hook unable to catch up.

"What?!" Bessie's pupils contracted, not expecting the sports car's performance to be so domineering.

Jiaqiu's eyes widened, as if he had finally understood the true power of the wealthy.

"Holy crap! Are sports cars this domineering?! When I have money... I'll have one too!"

At this moment, Risotto also felt the pressure, and he asked Prosciutto:

Is the distance sufficient?

“No, my ability relies on smoke. At this distance, the smoke would be blown away in an instant,” Prosciutto said, frowning.

"That's really bad. Looks like someone needs to cover the rear. Prosciutto, you drive, I'll cover the rear!"

Risotto said loudly, his eyes gleaming with realization.

"What!? How could you do this!" Prosciutto's pupils shrank in disbelief.

"At this stage, only my abilities are more suitable. It's not a matter of whether or not I can, but that I must! Besides, my abilities are better suited for concealment, and I am confident that I can cover their retreat and escape."

"Damn it... Good!"

Prosciutto gritted his teeth and agreed, then crawled towards the front row to switch places with Risotto.

Just then, a gunshot rang out in the sky.

Bang-!

"Damn it! A sniper!!"

In an instant, Sut and the others froze in terror; none of them had expected there to be a sniper.

Has... we reached a dead end?!

Are we all going to die here?!

I haven't achieved that goal yet!

But the next second, no one was attacked. Puzzled, they suddenly heard the sound of a sports car's wheels rubbing against the ground behind them.

Sizzle!

The sniper wasn't attacking them, but the sports car behind them!

"Nani?!"

"Very good!!"

"Bessie! Don't fail this time!"

"oh--!"

The tire blowout of the sports car behind slowed it down, and with the added force of the frozen ground, it lost its direction and began to spin. Meanwhile, Bessie's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she swung the fishing rod in her hand.

"You can't escape this time!!"

Inside the sports car, Hiratsuka Shizuka's pupils contracted. "Oh no! There's no escaping this!"

puff!

In an instant, the fishhook pierced her body, and with a tremendous force, her heart was torn apart.

"Puha!!"

A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth, staining the steering wheel red.

"quiet!!"

Madoka Kaname's pupils contracted, and just as she was about to heal, the vehicle went out of control, and her body was thrown out.

The sports car spun endlessly on the highway before crashing into the guardrail at breakneck speed.

boom-!

A huge crash was heard, the entire car body was deformed, and Hiratsuka Shizuka was crushed to death in the driver's seat.

"quiet!"

Madoka Kaname snapped out of her daze and immediately went to treat him, but the next second she was pulled away by Homura Akemi.

When they could see the surroundings clearly, they saw black smoke rising from the red sports car, a sign that it was about to explode!

Hiratsuka Shizuka, stuck in the driver's seat, gave a wistful smile.

"Looks like I'm the second one... Remember to claim my car for repairs."

Boom!

A towering flame and explosion erupted instantly, engulfing her in a flash.

"quiet--!"

Kaname Madoka shouted in frustration, reaching out to grab Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had been swallowed up and was no longer visible.

Meanwhile, Homura Akemi clenched her fists angrily, while Ichiri Goto knelt on the ground, trembling with fear, his head bowed and not daring to speak.

Chapter 144 Oh my god! I'm fucking inhuman!

"Great! They finally escaped!"

Jiaqiu shouted loudly, excitedly pounding on the car door, his face full of smiles, but also brimming with hostility and irritability.

"Well done, Bessie! You've finally grown up!"

Prosciutto happily hugged Bessie and praised her loudly. Bessie, who was being pressed down, lowered her head in embarrassment. She herself had not expected to be so successful.

Risotto breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned, sensing a hint of doubt.

The sniper wasn't attacking us... was he targeting the Thermal Anomalies' enemies?

Although we don't know what happened, we were given a chance thanks to that shot.

......

On the other side, flames engulfed in thick black smoke split the sky in two, and firefighters arrived shortly afterward.

After the fire was extinguished, nothing was found inside.

Kaneki and Aya, who arrived later, gaped in astonishment upon seeing the scene. Upon hearing the news of Hiratsuka Shizuka's death, their faces darkened and they clenched their fists in anger.

"Where are the enemies! Where are they?!" Ayato shouted angrily.

However, no one answered; the answer seemed obvious.

“Ayato…” Kaneki wanted to say something to comfort him, but found himself unable to utter a single word.

They regarded Hiratsuka Shizuka as their elder sister from the bottom of their hearts, and she had led everyone to victory in previous missions. Now, Hiratsuka Shizuka has left.

This situation made Kaneki feel somewhat dazed, as if it were not real.

It's so fake... It feels so fake... But why is it like this...?

Kaneki lowered his head, clenched his fists, and was filled with anger. He could do nothing as he stood in front of the sports car, which had stopped burning.

In the chat group.

Shizuka Heike: My sports car!

Leng Chang: What happened? What happened?

Homura Akemi: Stop pretending, wasn't it you who ambushed me?

Leng Chang: Don't frame me! I didn't do anything!

Celia: Hehe! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. I watched Madoka's livestream. It's such a shame, though, that Quiet was just a hair's breadth away from being saved.

Madoka Kaname: Yeah, it was so close. She was thrown off by inertia at the crucial moment, otherwise she could have saved Shizuka.

Kitahara Iori: No? Inertia can stop Madoka from saving people? Are you kidding me?

Madoka Kaname: No, no, my current setting is a healing superpower, which requires touching to save someone.

Kitahara Iori: I see, that makes sense.

Kazuma Sato: I understand now that you're having so much fun.

Homura Akemi: Madoka, you've gone astray! It's all because of that damned Rei Chang's crooked teeth—!

Leng Chang: Hey! You won't believe it, but I wasn't as involved as you guys. I at most started it, and the rest of you were just letting yourselves run wild.

Homura Akemi: I don't care! It's all your fault anyway! (Furious.JPG)

Madoka Kaname: I feel... I feel like it's not a big problem! Yeah!

Homura Akemi:

Xiao Yuan, will that well-behaved girl you used to be ever come back to you?

Even now, she's still adorable!

Goto Ichiri: Um... Shizuka-sensei, should we let Yukino and the others know about this? Wouldn't that be too much?

Shizuka Hiraie: It's best not to let them know, since I might suddenly reappear later, and then I won't be able to explain myself. Once is fine, but two or three times would be a bit much.

...

Leng Chang: It's not a big problem. Just say you faked your death to escape.

Hiratsuka Shizuka: How the hell can you fake your death and escape if you've been burned to ashes?

Leng Chang: Huh? They weren't there, so they definitely don't know the details. Just make one up.

Hiratsuka Shizuka: Forget it, just thinking about it makes me cringe. I'd better not let them know.

Homura Akemi: Okay, if they ask, we'll say you're on a business trip.

Hiratsuka Shizuka: Thank you, Homura, you're my superhero!

Madoka Kaname: By the way, the assassination squad got away. How do we chase them?

Leng Chang: Don't worry, I've already taken action. There isn't a single ship in the port. The earliest ship won't arrive for another three days. So, if they want to sail, it will definitely be three days from now.

Kitahara Iori: Yoshi! In three days, I'll have plenty of world-building flags! Hehehe

Kazuma Sato: Let's go! Let's strengthen the bond between Kaneki and Ayato, so that our deaths won't seem so abrupt.

Bucciarati: I feel like you guys are becoming less and less human...

Celia: I'll come next time too.

Black and White Hill: Absolutely hilarious!
