Chapter 160 – #36 So the Strongest Was Defeated (2)
‘As expected, Coco too.’
Rahe looked at Coco, who was lowering his head, with cold eyes.
Then Coco shrugged her shoulders, then lifted her head.
She was also awake.
The fact that spades and checks appeared from an empty place a moment ago must have been the use of Coco’s abilities of hers.
With Coco’s abilities of her, she is only able to hide her visible appearance of her,
With spades and checks, she can completely kill a presence on her own her, so almost perfect stealth is possible.
They have often gone on joint missions, and as the leader, Rahe is well aware of their abilities.
Therefore, there is nothing surprising in its complete stealth of her.
If it’s a surprise….
“What the hell have you done to my men, number 13?”
The point is why his proud subordinates his cooperate and help that villain.
It was confirmed that Apple and the club are working with 13.
If it were simply those two people, I can guess that they would have betrayed for love, money, or any other conceivable reason.
But when things go this far, the story gets weird.
Not only Apple and the club, but the remaining three are cooperating with No. 13.
Even Coco, who a few days ago said she would expose and investigate the club’s betrayal.
Clearly there is something.
As for what that is, I’ll have to ask No. 13 from now on.
“Gee, calm down, Rahe. Wait a moment. Are there still hostages here?”
“Coco is also a traitor at the point of cooperating with you. We don’t call villains hostages.”
“It’s like a knife. She’s just cooperating with this woman forcibly. Because it is not of her own will her. … If you say that, will the hostage value increase?”
“…… I’ve been standing here ever since.”
The white line designated by No. 13 a moment ago. Standing in front of him, Rahe spoke leisurely.
She’s following the instructions of number 13 anyway, so she means don’t mess with it.
Even if she takes off her uniform and wears underwear, even if her beloved sword her is not in her hand her, her attitude her is infinitely natural and confident.
A look of confidence that no matter what happens, you can solve it somehow.
Clearly Rahe couldn’t even imagine that she would be defeated.
She is a cheat-like woman, including her abilities her, so Rahe.
While Number 13 recalled Rahe’s information he had investigated, Rahe opened her mouth again.
“So it seems like you’ve been wasting time since before. What do you want to talk about?”
“First of all, let’s start with this question… Hey, Rahe. If I get arrested by your hero, will I die?”
“…… I do not know. What about?”
Rahe looked around her for a moment.
The neutralized spade and check, the club still crouching in the square, and Coco flinching beside Number 13.
I check everyone and nod my head.
“It will kill you.”
Whether for her private or public reasons her, she had no intention of letting Number 13 go untouched by her own men.
From the beginning, Villain No. 13 is the villain of interest.
Rahe judged that he was an opponent sufficient to kill for the sake of justice, in addition to the level of risk expected from before, plus the skill that created the current situation.
“Then I won’t be able to surrender once. I was going to beg for my life if things went wrong.”
“Oh, did you think I would have lied to you as a gift for going to the underworld?”
“… Are you stabbing me in the back who knows how to live and is relieved? You also have a surprisingly bad personality.”
“I am also a person with a back end. Don’t worry, I’m willing to put up with limb amputation if your proposal is of any use.”
“That’s scarier than dying…”
Number 13 said with a sigh.
At least limb amputation, otherwise I’m afraid I’ll either cut my throat with a knife or end up with frozen tuna.
“Or,” Rahe continues.
“What have you done to my men, and how to resolve this situation… If you tell me that, I can reconsider your treatment once more.”
Of course, even if he told me that, he had no intention of saving No. 13.
“Now, number 13. So let’s talk about it. What have you done to my men, and what suggestions do you wish to do so?”
Rahe slowly presses on.
No. 13 tells such Rahe.
“Rahe, is there anything strange?”
A question I asked a while ago. I don’t know how many times already.
What is so strange,
No. 13 has been asking such a thing since a little while ago, as if he was constantly checking.
When I replied that there was nothing strange about it, No. 13 changed the topic with a bland “Yes”.
“Then Rahe, shall we take a deep breath? It’s a deep breath, a deep breath.”
“…… ?”
Rahe sighed and took a deep breath.
He felt the same sweet scent seeping deep into his lungs, the same scent he had felt from the first time he entered this floor.
… Oh, it feels good… Something is floating….
After repeating such deep breathing several times, Rahe glared at No. 13 with a gaze asking how long it would take.
“Rahe, from what I heard, isn’t a woman who sits still in a situation like this? She does what the villain tells her to do, or she doesn’t mind even in this situation….”
“…… What is she talking about?”
――I only did what you asked me to do.
Rahe thinks.
But she doesn’t realize that, in the first place, she listens to the villain and does it, which is something she can’t do for herself.
Issue 13 looked at Rahe’s reaction to her and released her Coco’s restraints.
Even when her restraints are undone, Coco just sits in her chair, looking at Rahe with her vacant eyes.
Even though the villain is right next to her, she is defenseless without showing the slightest movement to arrest her.
No. 13 brushed Coco’s hair,
She brings some of it to her nose her and smells her her, but Coco still stands there like her doll her.
“Yes, Lahe. Have you ever heard of brainwashing or hypnosis?”
“Creation… It’s not about Are you serious?”
“Sure. I am always serious.”
Still, Coco only accepts the touch of her Kobunkobun No. 13.
After staring at Coco, who was not like her always clever and alert woman, with her pitiful eyes for a moment, Rahe turned her gaze back to Number 13.
“So, did you do that to these children?”
“Well, that’s it. Do you understand the situation now?”
“Any. That’s a lot more credible than saying that I did this stupid thing because I fell for a guy like you.”
“Ever since then, every single word has been harsh. You must be very angry?”
“…… It’s been a noise. So, how do I undo that hypnosis?”
“No no, Rahe. Don’t be in too much of a hurry and listen.”
Rahe frowned at her.
This side is anxious about the condition of the subordinates, but seeing No. 13, who is so laid-back, it is inevitable to get annoyed.
However, Rahe still does not cross the white line on the floor as instructed by #13,
And when he saw something that No. 13 had taken out, he couldn’t help but be agitated and open his eyes wide.
“Have you seen it?”
What No. 13 took out a glass bottle the size of a fist.
A sugar canister of a special brand that even Rahe had seen before.
The trademark of the sugar that Apple used to put in coffee….
“Brainwashing is how you do it, first you take some kind of brainwashing drug.
For example, like this, disguised as sugar, smelling medicine, spraying it like a mist and inhaling it, drinking the undiluted solution…
Then inject the brainwashing suggestion and you’re done.”
“Of course, there are many things to think about, but that aside… Hey, Rahe. How many times have you eaten this sugar so far?”
“Rahe, was it just a simple drink that you drank up there a moment ago?”
“Rahe, what kind of gas do you think this floor is full of?”
The words of number 13 are heard.
At his absurd words his, Rahe’s head his thinks of a ‘worst case scenario’.
I wanted to scream and rush at No. 13 right away, but I could not go beyond the white line because of his instructions.
Rahe’s legs are frozen in front of the white line, as if they had become those of a wax figure.
To Rahe, the words of No. 13 continued.
“Rahe, why did you come here by yourself without reporting to headquarters?”
“Rahe, why didn’t you notice Coco, who had been kidnapped and absent here for several days?”
“Rahe, why are you still following my instructions from a while ago?”
“Why did you carelessly drink the drink the villain suggested?”
“Why did you leave your weapon behind? Why are you just standing there? Why does it remain in this space that clearly smells strange?”
“Rahe.”
“Why are you——following my orders and instructions?”
…….
No wonder. To follow his orders.
Because orders from superiors are absolute.
Rahe is the captain, and if he is the captain, he should be an example to all heroes.
In order to become a role model for them, the leader, Rahe, must take the lead and follow the rules.
So I just followed the rules.
According to the rule of obeying the orders of the superior… To follow… Only….
‘However… No. 13 is….’
He must be a villain
However, why does she consider him her superior to her?
Why do I feel compelled to follow his orders her?
No, before that.
Had he taken brainwashing pills? Falling into his trap his?
If the sugar you normally eat, the drink you just drank, and the gas filling this place are brainwashing drugs… Then he is now….
‘Can, breathe… Can’t rest… Have to be patient… !’
“Don’t hold your breath, Rahe!”
“!”
Rahe was panicking and tried to hold his breath, but at No. 13’s words, he took a deep breath again without realizing it.
The sweet scent penetrates deep through the mouth and nose. … My head feels kind of dizzy.
‘Order… I can’t refuse…!’
‘I… I… !’
Feeling a sense of danger, Rahe somehow ran to No. 13 and tried to attack him.
I have to somehow stop him from talking anymore.
But still Rahe’s leg doesn’t budge.
Even if I could barely move, I couldn’t cross the white line on the floor.
As if an invisible wall had been built along that line, no way.
“Okay, Rahe. That’s it. Eat comfortably and wait…”
No. 13 looked at Rahe and put his hand on a communication terminal that looked like an earphone in his ear.
An object that has been on all the way since a while ago, and is connected to the thing stuck in Rahe’s ear his.
――Now, this is the end.
At that attitude that seemed to say that, Rahe was nervous for the first time today, and cold sweat dripped down the back of his neck.
