I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 676

Mashiro Shiina held an umbrella and said to the driver: "I have always cherished everything, so you can go back...it's no problem."

"..." The driver still hesitated and looked at her worriedly.

Shiina Mashiro was standing on the side of the road. Inadvertently, she noticed a figure coming towards her. She raised her head and looked up. Some of her wet golden hair was slightly floating. She was silent for a moment, and then said: "They picked me up." So, it doesn’t matter to me, Grandpa, you can leave.”

The old man in the taxi looked at Mashiro's eager and worried look. He hesitated for a while, then looked at the distance and saw that a group of people were indeed coming. He felt a little relieved, nodded, and said, "Then Well, you have to take good care of yourself."

The old man turned the taxi around and slowly returned the same way.

The drizzle continued, and in this quiet and dark forest, the distant street lights flickered to illuminate this vast forest and the girl's figure, leaving Shiina Mashiro holding an umbrella alone.

In the darkness, a pistol was aimed at Shiina Mashiro silently.

Shiina Mashiro gradually turned her head, looking at the group of people calmly and fearlessly.

The hometown of the [Jester Thieves] in Japan is in this place.

Mashiro Shiina didn't show the slightest fear as he took that item and was led by this group of [Jester Thieves] to a ruined house.

"I came here to protect Holmes..."

"so……"

"I won't be afraid."

Shiina Mashiro walked forward step by step, secretly clasping a ring in the fingers holding the object, thinking to herself.

It was not that she was unprepared. In addition to her oil paintings, this package also contained a self-ignition device she learned from detective books. As long as she pulled it, the entire oil painting would burn.

[Jester Thieves] will never hurt him. After all, it is not just to defeat her by so carefully studying the emotions and ties between Aoyama Nanami and Rita and attacking them without killing anyone. The purpose of retaliating against her from the beginning was to make her obey and paint famous paintings for them...

Not far away, there was a house sitting on a slope by the river, and that was the only place with lights.

Finally, surrounded by a group of people, Shiina Mashiro handed over her mobile phone and began to walk toward the door of the house alone.

The wooden door at the door was opened, making a squeaking sound.

In front of the door, stood a shrewd middle-aged British man in a trench coat with eyes as sharp as an eagle's eye to greet her.

"Hmph, welcome, our little girl detective of the British Empire."

He sneered darkly, clapped his hands, and said to Mashiro.

"..." Shiina Mashiro looked at this person quietly and felt the dangerous aura emanating from him.

This semi-abandoned house was still somewhat warm. Dust settled in every corner of the house. The generator roared inside, restoring precious light to the house.

"I'm here to take him back." Shiina Mashiro looked at the other party calmly and said.

The British man with fierce eyes patted the old sofa, sat on it, and said with a smile: "Of course, Miss Shiina, we sincerely keep our promise this time, so let me introduce myself first. , my name is Lucas, I believe the British police already have my information. I am a criminal who follows Captain Jester's will, planning various theft cases of famous paintings, jewelry, jewelry, ceramics, and gold in Europe, and hoarding a While I am accumulating wealth like a treasure, I am also waiting for a smart kid like you to challenge me."

He shrugged, smiled bitterly, and said: "It's a pity that I spent several months researching and designing the theft case of the Eiinsworth family, but in the end it was abandoned by such a naive person like you. The bird has been cracked... The Jester Group has lost many members because of this. In this situation, I can no longer easily forgive the culprit who insulted us. Of course, even if they are minors, we will not refer to any country. We will use the protection law to study how to treat you, but this does not mean that you have no chance to apologize. Kid, you and your grandfather are both talented painters, and your paintings...can be used as a bargaining chip to apologize."

"...The painting was brought."

Shiina Mashiro said.

The man named Lucas stared at the painting with dim eyes.

"Give it to me."

"..." Shiina Mashiro frowned slightly, and then showed Lucas the self-ignition device buckle she designed for the scroll without changing her expression.

"With a slight pull, the sparks generated by the flint can burn everything down in two seconds." Mashiro Shiina continued to speak calmly.

"Uh, you little brat..." Lucas suddenly didn't dare to act rashly, gritted his teeth, stared at Mashiro, and cursed.

Broken windows, rustling rain, and gusts of cold wind blew against this fragile girl.

"Where is he?" Shiina Mashiro's eyes became colder and asked.

Lucas was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed again. He opened his hands and said, "Miss Shiina, your paintings are worth millions of dollars in the market. Your grandfather is a famous painter destined to be famous throughout the ages. We are very early We believed that you would grow up to be a talented painter like your grandfather. We originally planned to kidnap your closest friend, the little girl from the Einsworth family, but what went against our expectations was that at the expense of several friends, we were severely disabled. , after one unfortunate death, we can only use this Chinese as a bargaining chip to force you to repay the blood debt you owed us."

"..." Shiina Mashiro was silent.

"We need you to draw ten oil paintings and give them to us as a price before we let the Chinese go. Otherwise, neither of you, including the Einzworth family, will survive."

Lucas' eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he threatened Shiina Mashiro.

Shiina Mashiro had no reaction at all, no fear, no bravery. It seemed that what Lucas said was not important. She finally remained silent for a while and said, "I want to see him."

…

Step by step, he followed the leader of the Jester Thieves Group who was carrying an oil lamp to the second floor.

Stepping forward gently, Shiina Mashiro endured her fear and forced herself to be fully vigilant about everything and take every step forward intact.

In such a life-and-death situation, even the senior students she knew, Sorata and Mitaka, would definitely be scared, let alone a girl like her.

She raised her head and hesitated every time she took a step, but she still kept the same rhythm and walked up.

This spiral staircase is like the swirling dance of black rain, empty, cold, and dark... Every step is full of danger.

As the leader who controlled everything behind the scenes came to the second floor, in the dark room extending from the second floor corridor, lights were turned on one after another. Lucas held an oil lamp and brought Mashiro Shiina to the room. In the room at the end.

The room was a little dark, but you could see clearly.

"?!"

Shiina Mashiro's pupils were dilated as he just entered the room, staring blankly at that person.

That figure that disappeared.

Li Yan, whose whole body was covered with bloodstains and whose limbs were tied to the cross with iron chains, was stimulated by the dazzling light. He weakly raised his head and looked over.

"...Mashiro?" The embarrassed Li Yan looked at Mashiro with a look of shock and asked.

"Holmes..."

Shiina Mashiro's wet hair, wet face, and eyes were immediately fixed on Li Yan's face. Her anxious mind from morning to now was suddenly relaxed, and she called out with a trembling voice.

She didn't know why her mind changed like this, but a stream of moist tears flowed from her eyes.

"Zhenbai, why are you here..." Li Yan looked at her, seemingly injured a lot, blood dripping on the ground, his expression was painful, and he asked feebly.

"I'm here to take you back, Holmes." Shiina Mashiro's eyes were rolling with tears, and she spoke softly, firmly and quietly.

"No, you can't do it, they won't let me go." Li Yan shook his head, panting, and said to Mashiro desperately.
