Night Raid / No Noble Angels or Oni

"You've discovered something, haven't you?" Outcast asked.

"Huh?" Suika blinked innocently.

outcast pointed to her clothes.

"It's obvious from the marks on your clothes that you didn't come to town today like me, so you must have been here a while ago."

As Rhodes Island's [insert name here] said, you are very purposeful in your actions. Since you're here, then things here are definitely not simple.

But your demeanor clearly exudes confidence, indicating that you know quite a bit about what's going on here...

Seeing this, Suika shrugged, revealing a malicious expression.

"Let's do a job tonight at midnight. If you're willing to get on board, I'll share the intelligence with you."

"Rob a bank? As far as I know, because of the riots, the banks here started transferring assets out a week ago. Wouldn't it be too late to rob a bank now?"

"Besides, it's just the two of us. Even if we could manage it, the military and police in Little Hill County would obviously be on high alert these next few days. It would be very difficult to evacuate safely under such an encirclement."

Outcast, hearing her use slang and knowing there happened to be a Victoria National Bank nearby, instinctively assumed she was planning to rob the bank.

"Tch, why bother robbing people? I don't need that kind of money... Let's do something exciting... Just remember to have the bullets ready."

Although Suika's words were vague, Outcast instinctively felt that she was not a villain, so he pulled down his hat brim and stopped talking, following behind her on the street.

"By the way, where are you staying tonight?"

Suika asked as she walked.

"I've just arrived, and I haven't decided where to stay yet."

"That's perfect. The hotel I'm staying at is nice, shall we go check it out?"

"OK!"

Soon the two arrived at the inn where Suika was staying.

"Why does that inn over there look so strange?" Before even going inside, Outcast looked at another inn in the distance and said with a puzzled expression.

Suika looked up and saw that it was the same hotel she had seen yesterday. She told Outcast about the notice posted at the hotel entrance.

Outcast looked at her

Don't you think there's something wrong with that hotel?

Chapter 565 Night Raid

"Even a fool would know that hotel has a problem."

Suika nodded and then pointed to the inn.

"It's too conspicuous for us to talk here at the gate, let's go inside!"

After arriving at the room, Outcast put down his luggage, then sat on the sofa and looked at Suika. Suika sat down beside him, picked up the Ibuki Gourd, took a sip, and then spoke.

"This is Tara's stronghold; the inn has to make money here."

The inn would certainly profit from the Tara people 'Tara people territory, but it refused them entry, which naturally made the Tara people hostile to the inn.

Merchants from outside who want to do business in Tara will not stay at that hotel.

Because this is a very clear signal of hostility.

If the locals knew that a businessman lived here, they would absolutely refuse to do business with him.

This is very disadvantageous for merchants seeking wealth.

Ordinary tourists would not choose to stay there.

Because if you come here to visit, you'll inevitably have to interact with the locals.

Living in that kind of place is tantamount to putting yourself in an environment hostile to the locals, which is no different from courting death.

Locals won't stay, and businesspeople and tourists dare not go. So how can such a large hotel support itself?

I observed that store when I passed by; it wasn't a newly opened store.

So how can a shop that doesn't make any money and is even disliked by the locals continue to operate for so long?

"If you say there's no problem, even a fool wouldn't believe it."

Suika finished speaking, Outcast nodded.

"Is the target you're talking about inside?"

Suika shook her head. "No, it's on the other side of the plaza. We need to put on a perfect stealth show tonight."

"Isn't it too dangerous? The military and police here will definitely be monitoring the city very closely these next few days," Outcast said with some concern.

"Don't worry, it's precisely because they're monitoring us so closely that they're giving us this opportunity." In response to Outcast's concerns, Suika explained that the military's close surveillance meant her target couldn't wander around at night, thus avoiding the awkward situation of running over at night only to find no one there.

"What about that hotel?" Outcast still felt there was a significant problem with the hotel.

After thinking for a moment, Suika said, "How about this, once I've settled things here, let's go there together and check things out."

Hearing what Suika said, Outcast nodded in satisfaction.

Looking at the time, Suika pulled out a deck of cards. "It's still early, shall we play a couple of rounds?"

"Great!" Outcast's eyes lit up, and he sat down opposite Suika.

Late at night, Suika peeked at the time through the gap in the note on her face.

"That's enough, let's go..."

Outcast pointed to himself and Suika, whose faces were covered in notes, and asked, "Are you sure we're going out like this?"

"Isn't that good? Even if we get caught, we can still pretend to be Carrion Eaters." Suika said dismissively.

Outcast glanced at Suika's iconic horns, then at the halo above his own head. With those two things, could anyone really mistake them for carrion Carrion Eaters?

"Alright, that's enough playing, let's go!" Suika tore up the note and pointed to the window.

"Why don't we use the main entrance?" Outcast pointed to the doorway.

Suika rolled her eyes.

"We're going to do something bad, wouldn't everyone know if we go through the main gate?"

Outcast deliberately feigned a look of sudden realization.

"I see, Little Suika, you're so clever."

"I feel like you're mocking me."

"Definitely not?"

"Real?"

"It really has to be..."

The two opened the window while chatting.

Outcast looked around; although it was late at night, military and police personnel could still be seen on duty not far downstairs.

"We can't get down there either; there are officers on duty in the streets."

"Watch me..." Suika turned around and disappeared in front of Outcast, who instantly noticed a Dense Fog rising around him.

Just as she was about to say that the sudden appearance of Dense Fog in the city would raise alarm, an iron chain appeared on her hand.

"Go to the window, tighten the chain, and I'll fly you there."

Outcast quickly jumped out of the window and then clung tightly to the chain.

Then she felt the chains snapping straighter and straighter upwards, and soon her feet lost their footing, and she was thrown into the air.

"Wow, this is so much fun," Outcast said, looking down at the street.

The weather has been terrible these past few days; at night, you can't see the stars, and you can't even see the moon.

Therefore, Suika only needs a thin layer of mist to cover her general shape, so that unless someone is deliberately observing, it is difficult to find the two people flying in mid-air.

Soon, Suika arrived at their destination with Outcast.

The two landed successfully in a small alley.

"Where is the target?" Outcast leaned against the wall, looked around, and then turned to ask Suika.

"The building on the left across the street after you exit the alley."

Suika pointed in a direction.

"This isn't going to be easy. Look, there's a group of police officers on duty over there. It's late at night, and if we go over there, we'll definitely be spotted." Outcast pointed to a police checkpoint in the distance.

That side isn't exactly close to the target, but if it were daytime, the guard post wouldn't detect anything if you walked from here to the building where the target was located.

But it's nighttime now, and there's no one on the street.

In this situation, the two of them going to the building across the street is no different from taking off their clothes and running naked.

"Don't worry, I can keep them from noticing this way. Come with me!"

Suika glanced at the checkpoint and then started counting down.

Just as she finished counting the numbers, the people inside the checkpoint suddenly went out together to patrol.

And their patrol direction happened to be with their backs to the two of them.

"Let's go!" Suika raised an eyebrow smugly and then pulled Outcast toward the building where their target was located.

After successfully reaching the corner of the building, Outcast grabbed Suika.

"Now that we're here, you have to tell me who our opponent is."

Suika nodded

"You know that this incident in Little Hill County was orchestrated by a mysterious organization, right?"

As far as I know, the people in that organization are a mixed bag, and some of them are even notorious villains.

This time, our target is those evil people."

Suika finished speaking, Outcast showed a knowing look.

She naturally knew who those people were that Suika was talking about.

However, she didn't expect that Suika would find the other party's hideout ahead of time. The reason she went to that special hotel to investigate was because she suspected that the other party was hiding there.

"So it was them... that's great!"

Outcast pulled down his hat brim, a smile playing on his lips, his mood brightening.

Chapter 566 Not Pure Angels and Demons

The two climbed over the wall and quietly slipped into the house through an open window.

"How do we find it?" Outcast indicated that the room was quite large, and searching one by one would be easily noticed.

Suika pointed to the hall

"Let them come out on their own!"

Suika pointed to her own Ibuki Gourd, and Outcast, understanding what she meant, widened his eyes in surprise.

"You can play it like that?"

Suika chuckled.

"Has the version been updated?"

The two then went to a corner of the hall. At Suika's prompting, Outcast turned on the hall lights, and then Suika picked up Ibuki Gourd and a large beer mug that she had picked up from a nearby table.

"Friends in the room, whether you're asleep or awake, come and have a drink!"

Then, accompanied by the sound of various things falling to the ground, Outcast saw the people inside the house stagger out like zombies in a movie.

Suika gestured to her, and she understood, searching for her target one by one. Soon, three people came to Suika's side.

"These three are a poisons expert, an arsonist, and a prisoner. I remember their bounties."

Suika nodded, continuing to pour glasses of strong liquor for the person in front of her without stopping.

After everyone was drunk, she looked at her three targets.

By this time, they had all been hoisted up by outcasts and were suspended in mid-air.

However, due to the powerful control of Suika's abilities, they still instinctively wanted to approach Suika to ask for a drink.
