Little Red Riding Hood's Resurrection

Before the red door.

Two guards stood at the door, glancing back at the tightly closed gate every now and then. One of them hesitated before speaking, "Wouldn't it be bad to leave him alone in the room? The captain clearly said not to let anyone in..."

Two minutes earlier, the man in the black suit said he needed to be alone in the room to get a good look at Little Red Riding Hood. Although the two of them tried their best to refuse, he forcibly kicked them out and slammed the door shut.

"What can we do then? Forcibly stop him? The two of us don't have that kind of fighting ability." Another person rolled their eyes and complained, "Ultimately, we have no power to stop him from doing whatever he wants. We can only report to the captain later and hope he hasn't done anything irreversible..."

The irreversible things he mentioned were naturally Little Red Riding Hood's packaging being damaged, or her body being harmed... However, he couldn't say these unspoken rules outright; he could only pray that the other person still had some sense.

Time passed with both of them feeling uneasy. Soon the door was opened, and they turned their heads in surprise at how fast he was moving. What they saw was a girl, Himiko Toga, dressed in a neat black suit and being led by a rope.

However, at this Toga don't know why my body was bound tightly, and my face was covered with a cloth by a black-suited man and then lifted onto his shoulder.

"Boss, what's going on...?" one of them asked.

"It's quite a walk to the captain's room. If someone sees me tying a girl up, it'll definitely attract attention," the man in the black suit scoffed. "You stay here and guard the place. I'm leaving."

After saying that, without giving them any time to react, the man in the black suit carried a girl on his shoulder and walked straight out of the casino, leaving the two of them staring at each other in bewilderment.

One of them watched his departing figure in silence for two seconds before slowly saying, "I have a bold idea. That guy wouldn't possibly..."

"Oh no, it might really be like that! Let's go check it out quickly!"

The two rushed into the room in an instant. Although the explanation from the man in the black suit was reasonable, wouldn't covering something and carrying it on his shoulder be even more conspicuous? Maybe, maybe the person he took away wasn't the girl who attacked her at all, but Little Red Riding Hood, whom they both needed to keep a close watch on!

The more they thought about it, the more uneasy they felt, but when they returned to the stage, the girl in the red hood was lying quietly in the crystal coffin with her eyes closed, like a sleeping Snow White, as if she had never left.

Still somewhat uneasy, the two began to inspect the area through the glass.

There's no white discharge at the corner of your mouth!

"The clothes showed no signs of tearing or tampering!"

"... It's definitely Little Red Riding Hood's face!"

After checking the items they were concerned about, the two of them simultaneously let out a heavy sigh of relief, collapsing to the ground, panting, and saying with a wry smile, "Did we misunderstand our boss? He was probably just checking."

Another person replied, "Ah, that might be true. Little Red Riding Hood lies peacefully in the coffin without any signs of being moved. We're just being overly sensitive."

"That's understandable, after all, it concerns our lives..."

As they talked, the two walked down from the stage, stretched with their backs to the coffin, and said, "Let's go outside. No one has come yet, but maybe someone is waiting for us outside."

"Once this is all over, I'm going to take a proper vacation and stay home watching all the anime I've accumulated over the past few months..."

Unbeknownst to them, Invisibility, horizontally placed glass cabinet behind them quietly opened its door from the inside. A blonde figure sat up and silently closed the door. She stood up from the cabinet, quietly pulled a syringe from her back, and with a smile that was both innocent and bloodthirsty, stepped towards them.

Explode.

Continuous explosions.

The continuous explosions sounded as if Zeus was wielding his hammer and striking the entire ship, causing it to shake violently like an earthquake. Countless people were thrown about by the tremors!

"Whoa!" Caught off guard by the tremor, Little Red Riding Hood lost her balance and let out a cute cry as she fell forward. Her feet caught on the coffin, and she landed at a 45-degree angle, her face making intimate contact with the ground. Even the syringe in her hand slipped from her grasp and rolled to the side with a clatter!

"What's that sound!" The two steadied themselves by grabbing the chair next to them the moment the earthquake struck. Before they could even catch their breath, they heard a girl's voice. They quickly turned around and saw Little Red Riding Hood fall to the ground!

"Isn't Little Red Riding Hood supposed to be devoid of self-awareness? Why is she moving...?" one of them said, their voice trembling. "Could it be... a ghost...?"

The other person was about to agree when his eyes narrowed and he spotted the still-rolling syringe. He immediately shouted, "Never mind that! Whoever she is, she's trying to attack us!"

"Ouch, ouch..." Little Red Riding Hood raised her head, revealing a delicate face that was exactly the same as before. She rubbed her face while revealing a somewhat crazy smile. "That's right, I'm not Little Red Riding Hood. Actually... you can call me Alice."

"So cute..." One of them gasped, "This is the yandere attribute we've been chasing in the world of anime!"

"Idiot, don't bring anime into reality! This girl is definitely trying to kill us!" Without hesitation, the other grabbed him by the neck and ran towards the door, shouting as he ran, "We have the room key! As long as we lock her in this room, we'll be safe! Then we just need to stay in a safe place and wait for rescue!"

"Going to warn them... Sorry, I promised that guy I'd buy him some time!" Little Red Riding Hood, with a sickly smile, picked up the syringe at her feet and rushed towards the two. After a quick aim, she threw the syringe, aiming straight for the back of the head of the person running behind her!

Just then, the man, by sheer coincidence, wanted to observe the enemy's situation, so he turned his head. In his line of sight, a rapidly flying syringe grew larger and larger in front of him...

"Bite!"

With a crisp sound, the syringe Little Red Riding Hood threw was blocked by a cane that appeared out of nowhere, and bounced straight away.

"Huff... ha..." The man gasped for breath, looking in terror at Little Red Riding Hood approaching him. Sure enough... the yandere trait only seems cute in anime; in reality, it easily becomes a lifelong nightmare! He felt that he might constantly relive this scene in his dreams from now on...

However, since I didn't die, does that mean I was saved by someone?

He looked up and saw an elderly man in a gentleman's suit with a white beard standing beside him, holding a cane—the very same one that had saved him at the last second.

Even though he knew he had been saved, he still instinctively cried out, "Sir, it's not safe here! Leave quickly...!"

"Relax, young man, I'm here to help you."

A wise glint shone in the old gentleman's eyes. He removed his hat and held it in his hand, offering a gentlemanly bow to Little Red Riding Hood. "Miss, it's a pleasure to meet you. You may call me Adams Brooke, or you may address me by my other name... Holmes IV."
