Now It Was My Turn

Riko had known all along that Aria had been tracking her, solely to clear the names of her family members who had been wrongly accused.

Riko was well aware that Aria had already mastered her preferred radio waves for remote manipulation, and that using them would attract Aria's attention.

Therefore, in order to achieve her own goals, Riko decided to turn the tables and deliberately released radio waves to create a bus hijacking incident in order to facilitate the meeting Fang Li and Aria.

That's why Riko said those things to Fang Li in the past.

"Riri and Aria will meet sooner or later."

This wasn't just something Riko said casually.

In order to find a partner, Aria noticed Fang Li, who was also S-Rank Armed Detective, from the very beginning.

In order to help Aria find a partner, Riko had planned from the beginning to have Fang Li and Aria meet.

Furthermore, Fang Li was not particularly wary of Aria, who was constantly inquiring about him, and he did not expect that Riko was the Armed Detective Killer. With such a calculated move against the unsuspecting, Fang Li's encounter with Aria could indeed be considered almost destined.

Aria seemed to understand this as well, and was furious that she had been secretly manipulated by Riko all along.

Riko, however, seemed to be doing it on purpose, provoking him without any restraint.

"To be honest, giving Riri to Aria is really too extravagant. But if you're alone, you're not good enough in front of me. I should at least increase your chances of winning, otherwise it's too boring."

"... How dare you say that, you filthy thief clan!" Aria gritted her teeth and shouted, "I-You, who caused my mother to bear the guilt for 864 years, is responsible for 122 of those years! Today, I will arrest you to testify for my mother's innocence!"

"You think you can take me on?" Riko covered her mouth and chuckled, the contempt in her words obvious to everyone.

Aria, who was not known for her good temper to begin with, was immediately triggered.

"Bang bang bang bang bang--!"

The next second, Aria pulled the trigger, causing the muzzles of the two Colt guns to spit sparks and fire bullets, enveloping Riko's direction.

However, Riko seemed to have anticipated Aria's actions. Before Aria could fire, she leaped away, dodging the incoming bullets, and instead pointed both Walther at Aria.

"Bang bang bang bang bang--!"

Amidst the muffled gunfire, bullets whizzed through the air and hurtled towards Aria.

In response, Aria used her petite size to roll on the spot, causing all the incoming bullets to fall onto the deck, making a "clang clang clang" sound and sparks.

Both Aria and Riko realized one thing.

That is, when facing this opponent, shooting at medium to long range is completely ineffective.

Both Aria and Riko possess the ability to dodge bullets.

Realizing this, Aria and Riko made the same decision almost simultaneously.

"If long distances don't work..."

"Then let's use close range!"

The two petite girls simultaneously pushed off the ground and charged towards each other with the speed of cheetahs.

The weapon used was still a pistol.

The techniques used are no longer limited to shooting.

In the instant the two girls' figures crossed paths, they immediately pointed their guns at each other at extremely close range and pulled the triggers without hesitation.

"Bang bang bang bang bang--!"

Loud gunshots rang out once again.

At this moment, Aria and Riko were completely entangled, engaging in close-quarters combat, primarily using pistols.

It is a close-quarters gunfight technique based on the premise that the opponent is wearing a bulletproof vest.

Even with a bulletproof vest, the impact of a bullet cannot be completely eliminated.

Therefore, when the opponent is wearing a bulletproof vest, the armed reconnaissance team often uses this close-quarters combat technique, using bullets as weapons to hit the opponent at extremely close range in order to subdue them.

Judging from the Bulletproof Uniform of the Armed Detective High School, being hit by a bullet is absolutely no less than being beaten with a metal rod.

Therefore, after determining that simple shooting would not be enough to defeat their opponents, Aria and Riko both chose to use close-range gun techniques at extremely close range.

When Aria pointed her gun at Riko's body, Riko struck the gun with her palm, causing the muzzle to deflect to the side and the bullet to fly into the distance.

When Riko's gun was pointed at Aria's body, Aria used her own gun to deflect the incoming shot, causing muzzle flash to appear at her side, and she was not hit at all.

For a moment, the two seemed to be fighting as if they were wielding two short swords of light, their figures constantly intersecting to the accompaniment of gunfire.

The dazzling close-quarters shooting skills looked like a performance.

However, every performance eventually comes to an end.

After all, Aria and Riko both have a limited number of bullets.

The Colt 1911 Government Pistol in Aria has a magazine capacity of 7 rounds, so the two guns together have a total of 14 rounds.

Riko's Walther P99 pistol typically has a magazine capacity of 16 rounds, so the two pistols together would have a total of 32 rounds.

In other words, Aria is at an overwhelming disadvantage in terms of the number of bullets.

Under such circumstances, Aria would naturally be the first to run out of bullets.

"Click..."

With a hollow click, Aria's gun was completely empty.

"Ugh...!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

As Aria's expression changed slightly, Riko, with a somewhat unrestrained laugh, lunged forward and pounced towards Aria.

But at that very moment, a flash of light suddenly appeared on the deck.

"Bang----!"

With a gunshot, a bullet spiraled past at Spiral speed, grazing less than five centimeters in front of Riko before landing in empty space.

That wasn't because he missed, but because he deliberately missed.

Riko stopped, her smile gradually fading, and turned to look to the side.

The person there is naturally Fang Li.

Fang Li stood facing the wind, not even holding a gun, just quietly watching Riko, which made Riko dare not make any rash moves.

Because Riko knew that for the person in front of her, not holding a gun was the most terrifying thing.

No.

It should be said that when you think the other party is not holding a gun, the muzzle of their gun is actually already aimed at you, ready to fire at any moment.

The guns were not visible.

Shooting could not be seen.

Therefore, the Invisible Bullet.

This is the Gun Magician.

Immediately, Fang Li lifted his feet and stepped forward.

"Aria, you keep watch from the side."

"It's my turn now."
