Spy-x-War Showdown
Chapter 1335 - 1340: Confused

Chapter 1335: Chapter 1340: Confused

Anton ran very fast, with at least more than ten people surrounding him from all directions to block his path. Meanwhile, snipers emerged in some corners that were not easily detected, especially from above.

The situation was very bad.

When the will of a nation begins to execute, as an individual, there is absolute powerlessness to resist. Even if there is an organization, well, what organization can confront the United States.

Finally, someone fired a shot, but fortunately, it missed.

The first shot missed, but now there are three snipers able to shoot at Anton, along with numerous capture personnel close at hand. It looks like Anton is in danger.

At this point, there’s no choice but to sacrifice the pawn to save the general. Yang Yi didn’t think much before making the decision to have Anton cover his departure.

Anton also saw the situation clearly. Trying to escape is impossible; running further would either result in being shot by the snipers or captured by the individuals chasing him. Thus, after the first shot, which seemed more like a warning, Anton immediately stopped his steps, raised his pistol high, and slowly knelt down.

For a spy, exposure equates to failure, complete failure.

The role of a spy is never about the number of people killed unless the target is of extremely high value. With those capturing Anton, even if he could kill them all, there wouldn’t be anything to boast about.

If he can draw the attention of the capture team, allowing Yang Yi to escape safely, that’s the best result Anton hopes for now.

A man with a pistol, dressed in a suit, shouted to the nearby pedestrians who wanted to run but dared not: "Do not panic, you are already safe now. Slowly move to the side for inspection, no one is allowed to run. I repeat, come over to me slowly..."

What is professionalism? This is professionalism.

If it were the police, upon discovering a suspect, they would focus solely on dealing with the suspect. They would only evacuate the innocent pedestrians in the danger zone; even if not innocent, if they looked innocent, they would be evacuated immediately.

But professional anti-spy personnel are different; the primary suspect cannot be ignored, but as long as there is enough strength, people nearby must also be screened one by one.

Yang Yi and Anton knew to enter the airport one after another, and those who wanted to catch them certainly knew it too. So once targeted, passing unnoticed is impossible.

How to check? Speaking of it, it’s simple. Those two people carrying the white boxes are doing this job.

Yang Yi was very nervous, and indeed he showed a panicked and at a loss expression. Seeing a couple nearby being controlled and required to move to the side for inspection, he quickly moved over, waiting for the staff to deal with him.

Anton had already been pressed down, his hands already cuffed with handcuffs, surrounded by at least seven or eight people, not only to search him, but several people were also on him, fearing he might suddenly rise up and attack.

Two white boxes were placed on the ground, one specifically directed at Anton, while the other was placed on a vacant area, and a man dressed in a suit loudly declared: "Please gather here, hold your documents above your head, and after checking with me, if there are no issues, you can leave. Do not panic, do not run, and do not make any gestures that might cause misunderstanding. Ladies, please come over here."

Yang Yi knew the situation this time was bad.

If the inspection were simple, it would mean passing through the machine once to know. This kind of quick check clearly has a target, besides radiation, there are no other possibilities.

But these white boxes aren’t Geiger counters.

Yang Yi was confused, truly confused.

Why confused? Because Yang Yi didn’t understand the current situation.

First of all, that white box cannot be a Geiger counter.

A so-called Geiger counter is a detector for ionizing radiation; in simple terms, it’s the kind that beeps when detecting nuclear radiation. Certainly, Geiger counters are now electronic and might not necessarily beep but can still indicate radiation level.

But the issue is Yang Yi, upon acquiring that cross, had already checked with a Geiger counter, and the radiation level was perfectly normal.

Ionizing radiation sounds more complex; everyone should understand when it’s nuclear radiation. Yang Yi wasn’t stupid, holding a metal block of unknown origin and purpose with a strong sci-fi feel without checking the radiation level—is it intended to get radiation sickness? Even if not to satisfy curiosity, for one’s life considerations, one must insist a bit.

Geiger counters aren’t hard to find, and the check result was that the cross didn’t have radiation, similar to the radiation level of an iron block or copper block.

If it’s not ionizing radiation, then it certainly couldn’t be electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation is present wherever there is a phone signal; in a city, electromagnetic radiation is everywhere, relying on electromagnetic radiation to locate someone is simply impossible.

Yang Yi felt like crying.

Based on common reasoning, Anton was detected through radiation, but Yang Yi had checked it himself and would not be detected, so what’s going on?

Confusion.

Yang Yi stood at the back, about twenty meters away from that box. Every time someone took their turn, they had to pass before the box once. Yang Yi was convinced that the box was the main checking method, and bringing out one’s documents was simply to mislead people.

Anton had already been dragged up, he was about to be taken away. If no actions were taken, or if no one rescued him, Anton was certainly going in, and Yang Yi was obviously going in too.

A distance of ten meters was dangerous; entering this range would be discovered. This was Yang Yi’s preliminary judgment, but he might have already been exposed; it’s just that those checking personnel wanted to inspect one by one, so they can pull him out of the crowd. But this was no longer important.

Yang Yi still wanted to figure out what happened, at least how Anton was exposed, but Anton was already about to be taken away, and delaying was no longer an option.

No delay, then it’s time to act.

Yang Yi and Anton need to leave, but certainly with safety measures, not daring to say flawlessly, but someone must escort them secretly.

Who can escort them? There’s no need for the idle Black Devil to do anything.

Yang Yi extended his hand in what looked like a very ordinary movement and appeared non-threatening, but after extending his hand, suddenly there was a gunshot, followed by successive gunfire.

A gunshot occurred because several people fired simultaneously, sounding as if it were a single shot. Continuous firing was aimed at the primary target and then continued to shoot the second and third targets.

After the gunfire, people started falling one by one, and the first to fall were the three snipers who had already revealed themselves.

Nonetheless, the Black Devil’s people were very measured; their purpose was to create chaos to cover Yang Yi and Anton’s escape, not to go on a killing spree. Therefore, amidst the crowd, cries of pain arose, yet no one died immediately.
