The guns fired in unison, the sound making Rinne's heart race with a thunderous rhythm.
At this point, they knew the magic formula had worked. Hosoda Yoshiyuki had successfully reached Kano Masato's side, and was already engaged in close combat. Only he would carry so many terrifying weapons.
"Over there! We can catch up!"
"It's close! Let's go now!" Hearing gunshots and explosions, Seeking Shadow and Lu Jing sprang into action, leaping towards the depths of the forest.
Watching them take off, Rinne also lunged forward, hurrying to keep up with Lu Jing.
When Lu Jing heard footsteps behind him, he glanced back, saw Rinne trying to follow, and shouted in haste, "What are you doing? Don't follow!"
Perhaps it was well-intentioned, but at that moment, Lu Jing's words were like a dagger, swiftly slashing through Rinne's pride, leaving nothing but a thorny trail of wounds.
Rinne immediately halted her steps, her lips pressed tightly together in silence.
