The rain poured down, hitting the leaves with a dense pattering sound.
Ibuki Mio stood next to Horikita Suzune, looking at Horikita Suzune who fell on the ground, his chest heaving violently.
Her Sports Uniform has been soaked by the rain and clings to her body, outlining the girl's uneven curves.
"This woman... is really troublesome."
Even though Horikita Suzune was in a feverish state, the fight just now still took a lot of effort from her.
Horikita's resistance was stronger than expected, and his unyielding energy did not weaken even though he was physically weak.
Ibuki Mio stretched his sore wrist, and then walked to a tree.
There was a white handkerchief tied to the branch of the tree, which was particularly conspicuous in the rainy night.
She squatted down and started digging near the roots of the tree.
She quickly peeled away the wet soil and soon touched the corner of a plastic bag.
After the plastic bag was dug out, Ibuki Mio quickly checked the items inside.
Flashlight, walkie-talkie.
However, she frowned slightly, feeling that these things were a little different from where they were buried before.
Maybe I remembered it wrong...
Ibuki Mio shook his head and put this doubt behind his mind.
Now is not the time to worry about these details, it is more important to complete the task.
She took out the walkie-talkie, tuned to the preset channel, and pressed the call button.
"Ryuen, I've got it done here." She lowered her voice and said, even though she knew there should be no one else around, caution had become her instinct.
Ryuen Kakeru's smiling voice came from the other end of the intercom, "Very good, I'll be there right away. Wait for my signal."
After ending the call, Ibuki Mio put the walkie-talkie back into his pocket and found a relatively dry place to sit down and rest.
Rain kept dripping from the leaves above her head, and occasionally a few drops landed on her cheeks.
Just as she adjusted her sitting position, a subtle rustling sound came from the bushes not far away.
Ibuki Mio instantly became alert and stared at the direction of the sound.
After a few seconds, the voice disappeared.
It is probably caused by too much rainwater accumulated on the trees and dripping from the leaves at once.
Ibuki Mio comforted himself in this way, but still maintained a high degree of vigilance.
In such bad weather, any small sound will be amplified, and it is normal to generate unnecessary tension.
About thirty minutes later, a swaying Light Spot appeared in the distance.
That was the light of the flashlight, flashing in a specific rhythm.
Ibuki Mio immediately took out his flashlight and responded in the same rhythm.
This is the secret code she and Ryuen Kakeru agreed upon in advance.
The light got closer and closer, and soon the figure of Ryuen Kakeru appeared in the rain curtain.
"Thank you for your hard work, Ibuki."
"Of course it is."
"Of course, if you didn't make any mistakes, I wouldn't be here."
"I didn't expect Digital Camera to break."
Ryuen Kakeru walked up to Ibuki Mio and glanced at the unconscious Horikita Suzune on the ground, "Did Key Card get it?"
Ibuki Mio took out a card from his pocket.
Horikita Suzune(Horikita Suzune)
The surface of the card is a little moist due to rain, but the writing is still clearly visible.
Ryuen Kakeru took the card and checked it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, this way the identity of the leader of Class D is confirmed."
Ryuen Kakeru handed the card back to Ibuki Mio, "Then proceed as planned."
Ibuki Mio took the card, took out a piece of Wet Cloth from his pocket, and carefully wiped the surface of the card.
She needs to completely remove her fingerprints without leaving any traces.
After wiping, she squatted down and put Key Card into Horikita Suzune's hand, letting the other person's fingers hold the card naturally.
The whole process went smoothly.
Horikita Suzune is still in a coma and has no response to external stimulation.
Her face looked a little flushed because of the fever.
"Let's go, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time."
Ryuen Kakeru looked around and saw that the rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. "We need to find a place to take shelter from the rain."
The two quickly left the scene and disappeared into the darkness of the rainy night.
Their footsteps were soon covered up by the heavy sound of rain, as if they had never happened.
Only Horikita Suzune was left at the scene, lying on the wet mud.
Not long after, there was movement again from the bushes not far away.
This time it was not the sound of raindrops, but the rustle of someone parting branches and leaves.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka walked out of his hiding place, rainwater falling from his hair.
There was no expression on his face, as if all this was expected.
He walked to Horikita Suzune, checked her physical condition first, and after confirming that she was just unconscious and not seriously injured, he carefully picked her up.
He hugged Horikita Suzune and left, and his figure quickly blended into the rainy night.
On the other side, Ryuen Kakeru and Ibuki Mio were looking for shelter in the rain.
The rain was much heavier than expected, almost pouring down.
Their clothes had long been soaked, and they felt particularly uncomfortable clinging to their bodies.
"Damn weather." Ryuen Kakeru wiped the rain off his face, with obvious irritation in his tone.
Ibuki Mio followed behind him, his hair was completely soaked and stuck to his cheeks in strands.
"Next I'm going to apply to withdraw from the exam."
Ibuki Mio was arranging her wet hair.
The mission has been completed, there is no need to continue to stay in this harsh environment.
Ryuen Kakeru nodded, then frowned. "That guy Katsuragi is still unwilling to cooperate, so we won't know who the real leader of Class A is."
There was obvious dissatisfaction in his tone, "I thought I could get some useful information through cooperation, but the result was completely Waste of Time."
"Isn't the leader of Class A Tozuka Yahiko? Even I, a person who has been at Class D, can hear about it, so there shouldn't be anything wrong."
"Do you think those smart Akito would be stupid enough to keep exposing their true identities? Tozuka Yahiko is just a cover. There must be someone else who is the real leader."
He paused, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "I don't know who the leader of Class B is. Kaneda is a loser. He will definitely look good after this is over..."
Ibuki Mio opened her mouth to say something, but at this moment, she noticed that Ryuen Kakeru suddenly stopped.
His body became stiff and his eyes were fixed on a certain direction ahead.
She followed Ryuen Kakeru's gaze and felt a chill in her heart.
Under a big tree not far away, there was a figure standing quietly.
Due to the distance and light, it was impossible to see the person's specific face, only a vague outline.
But just this outline is enough to make Ryuen Kakeru and Ibuki Mio feel alert.
In such heavy rain weather, normal people should seek shelter from the rain instead of standing in the open air and letting the rain wash away.
"Who is it?"
