Chapter 218
He was running without making any sound, while paying the greatest caution to the surrounding, yet his running speed was still top speed. The agent of a nonexistent organization――Allen, was chasing after the escaping Weiss with an astounding speed.
It seemed that Weiss was heading toward the installation of this facility's power generator, Allen could see various pipes and electronics, big and small through the corridor.
But, at that time, Allen's gaze suddenly caught something that he ought to be careful against. It was a very fine wire that was set up on the corridor inconspicuously. A simple trap.
Allen's face didn't change, his running speed didn't decrease, he went to the wall and jumped. And then, by kicking on the wall he climbed until near the ceiling, his hands caught one of the pipes and he flew over the wire like a pendulum.
That jump looked excessive just for jumping over a single wire, but actually that wire was a bluff, there was an infrared-type trap set up ahead of that wire, so Allen's action was correct looking at the result. It was an instantaneous judgment based from Allen's experience of many years.
「This will be easier if I can run on the ceiling like him though!!」
「Chih. You bastard are also monstrous enough to be able to react to that-」
Weiss who was hiding behind a cover aimed at the moment Allen landed and fired. However, Allen also read that ahead, he got down looking as though he was clinging on the floor the moment he landed, so the bullet futilely passed through above his head.
Still lying down on the floor, Allen pulled his gun trigger without any time lag. His bullet counterattacked Weiss. Weiss leaked out「Uoh-!」voice, even so he managed to dodge by hiding his body with the agility that was in the level of a cockroach.
