Chapter 188: Do you think I'm the same as you?

"Vermouth, do you also think 'he' looks familiar?"

Chianti heard what Vermouth said and hurriedly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Vermouth glanced at Chianti beside her.

"It seems like you have the same idea, Chianti."

"Then this can't be a coincidence."

"Come to think of it, among the people you and I know, there was also someone who knew Jeet Kune Do—"

Vermouth said, and then slowly uttered a name.

"Akai Shuichi."

Even Masumi Sera knew that the two members of the organization in front of him probably knew his eldest brother.

But when she heard that Vermouth linked her to her older brother so quickly, her heart sank.

Although Chianti was always masked.

But Sera Masumi could still clearly feel that after she heard her elder brother's name, her eyes began to reveal a strong look of disgust.

"Vermouth, if 'he' is really related to Akai Shuichi, then 'he' cannot be allowed to live."

"After all, Akai Shuichi knew a lot of the organization's secrets."

Chianti picked up his dagger from the ground, held it in front of him, and said to Vermouth beside him.

"Whether this Sera Masumi is related to that dead man, wouldn't it be enough to just arrest him and interrogate him?"

"Anyway, the organization has plenty of ways to get people to talk."

Vermouth said.

"You have a point."

Masumi Sera looked gloomily at Vermouth and Chianti, who were discussing a sinister plan as if no one was around, and her anger almost reached its peak.

If the two of them only had murderous intentions towards him, Sera Masumi wouldn't be so angry.

But when it came to her elder brother, Sera Masumi felt that the anger in her heart had reached a point where it was simply uncontrollable.

I must not get caught, otherwise many people will be implicated.

——Sera Masumi made a judgment in her heart in just a moment.

Although Sera Masumi was at a disadvantage at the moment, she still chose to strike first.

Masumi Sera is very confident in his skills.

Apart from her mother Akai Mary, her brother Akai Shuichi, and a karate master named Kyogoku Makoto, with whom she had briefly fought before,

it was basically difficult for anyone to suppress her in close combat.

Carrying a backpack, Masumi Sera rushed to Chianti in two steps, and then kicked Chianti's right shoulder with a high kick.

Although in the brief confrontation just now, Sera Masumi had already judged that Chianti's close combat skills were far inferior to his own.

But she also didn't want to be attacked by this woman with a swallowtail butterfly tattoo on her eye while she was fighting with Vermouth.

In single-move attacks, Jeet Kune Do has a great advantage in speed.

By the time Chianti noticed that Sera Masumi rushed in front of him, it was already too late.

Before Chianti could step back to avoid it, she felt a violent impact on her right shoulder as if she had been hit by a hammer.

Chianti was kicked all of a sudden and flew out.

His body hit the ground with a dull sound.

The intense pain made Chianti feel dizzy.

She fell to the ground, letting out a hoarse groan from her throat.

Masumi Sera knew that after she attacked Chianti, Vermouth's attack would definitely follow.

So after kicking Chianti down, she quickly hid away from Vermouth.

However, Vermouth's attack came much faster than Sera Masumi had expected.

Before Masumi Sera could distance herself from Vermouth, she was hit in the left side by a fast kick from Vermouth.

With a dull "bang" sound, Sera Masumi was also thrown out and hit the wall.

A sharp pain suddenly struck my mind.

As his diaphragm was impacted, Masumi Sera suddenly felt that he was beginning to have difficulty breathing.

Just when Sera Masumi was trying hard to endure the nausea urge rising from her stomach, she saw Vermouth walking leisurely towards her side.

"With your flexibility, it should have been easy to kick Chianti in the head just now."

"Why go out of your way to kick her in the shoulder instead of aiming for the head?"

Vermouth looked down at Masumi Sera who was struggling to stand up and asked.

"Do you think I'm the same as you?"

Masumi Sera said to Vermouth.

"That's really stupid."

Vermouth commented softly, then raised her foot and kicked Sera Masumi in the head again.

Masumi Sera quickly grabbed her backpack and held it in front of her head.

Seeing this, Vermouth quickly retracted her strength, and finally her foot stopped less than 10 centimeters away from Sera Masumi's backpack.

'She doesn't dare to destroy the computer, she doesn't know what the software doesn't accomplish!'

Masumi Sera made a quick judgment based on Vermouth's reaction.

At the same time, she seized the opportunity when Vermouth stopped kicking, suddenly supported the ground with her right hand, and kicked Vermouth's abdomen from bottom to top in an almost inverted posture.

Masumi Sera's strong flexibility and coordination were fully demonstrated at this moment.

Her unexpected hook kick accurately hit Vermouth's abdomen.

"Um!"

Vermouth let out a muffled groan, covered her abdomen, and involuntarily took two steps back.

After kicking, Masumi Sera used his palms that were supporting the ground to exert force again, and his body completed a gorgeous 180-degree vertical rotation in the air, and then his feet landed steadily on the ground.

Although he successfully launched a sneak attack on Vermouth.

But Masumi Sera also understood the gap in strength between herself and Vermouth.

The side of her abdomen that had just been kicked by Vermouth was still in intense pain. With every movement of Sera Masumi, she felt unbearable pain.

However, Sera Masumi did not cover her abdomen with her hands again.

She tried her best to appear calm and peaceful, staring at Vermouth in front of her whose expression gradually darkened, her brain working rapidly.

"We have no chance of winning if we continue to fight like this."

'We have two advantages now.'

'One is that they don't dare to destroy the computer, so they must take advantage of this to get away.'

'The other is that they didn't know the boy was hiding outside.'

Masumi Sera thought to himself and reached out to touch the inside of his collar.

There, there was the Junior Detective League badge communicator that Conan had given him.

She wanted to report the situation here to Conan outside.

However, when Sera Masumi touched the inside of her collar, she found that the badge communicator that was originally placed there was missing.
