One by one, he was taking them out. It didn't matter how well they were disguised—whether as a young couple on a date, an elderly woman, a local beggar, or a regular tourist. There was no fooling P's senses.

Eventually, the emergency medical crew gave up on driving back and forth to the hospital. They simply parked the ambulance outside the game booth, waiting patiently by the rear doors for the next "accidental" victim to be loaded inside.

225Please respect copyright.PENANA2WQ6q7qtwK
225Please respect copyright.PENANAta734fQYps
225Please respect copyright.PENANAdkj2oZDFTq
He looked down to see the operator standing before them with a sour expression. In his arms, he held a massive, ultra-fluffy teddy bear, a large box of luxury chocolates, and a giant novelty check for **$1,000** strapped to the bear's chest.
225Please respect copyright.PENANAPXVRALiqRo
225Please respect copyright.PENANAqCT0B1Qcdx

225Please respect copyright.PENANABvL6jVn076
Inside the stall, the booth owner was leaning lazily against the back counter. A few customers were taking shots, but the owner looked thoroughly bored—until he spotted Hanabi approaching from a distance. His posture immediately straightened, his eyes narrowing as if he had been waiting for her all night.
225Please respect copyright.PENANAJqvrj3l1XS
225Please respect copyright.PENANAo9zJdqPcFD

225Please respect copyright.PENANAn6ZlBsJrdC
225Please respect copyright.PENANAFbZZzmuoSq

At the booth, the disguised assassin behind the counter gripped the back ledge tightly, his knuckles turning white. A customer stepped away, and Hanabi immediately took the open spot, picking up one of the toy rifles. She reached into her pocket to pull out money for the game.

Hanabi took a few shots, but her aim was completely terrible, missing every target. P casually tossed another bill onto the counter, his eyes locking onto the operator with a completely flat glare. The assassin sweat profusely, realizing P was setting something up.

Hanabi could feel the warmth of P’s breath against the side of her neck, a faint blush spreading across her cheeks. Meanwhile, directly behind her head where she couldn't see, P’s face was twisted into a dark, sinister grin.

Before the sniper could squeeze the trigger, a stranger in a dark raincoat casually strolled past the bench. The moment the stranger stepped out of the way, the sniper remained slumped backward against the bench, completely motionless and cold.

The shot missed the target cups entirely. However, the projectile pierced right through the fabric curtain behind the booth operator, striking a hidden gas line running along the back wall. The operator’s eyes went wide as he heard the faint hiss of escaping gas.

The terrified booth owner quickly handed over a pair of free VIP passes to the park's Dark Ride Funhouse. He forced a strained smile while handing them to Hanabi, but his eyes were begging P for mercy. P offered a polite, gentle smile back—one that carried a promise of absolute death.
