In the increasingly heavy rain that could now be called a downpour, this elevated bridge that was already isolated from Jiangcheng became shrouded in a curtain of water, making it appear even more like a secluded island cut off from the world.
Six invited individuals and two uninvited guests stood on the shores of this isolated island, mutually suspicious and wary, yet all sharing the same question.
That was the question Fish had just asked...
"Where is Fluoxetine?"
As the inviter calling himself "Fluoxetine," why hadn't he appeared yet?
Tycoon was the first to lose patience.
"Damn it, Brother Li Hua, could that woman have been lying to us?"
"Although I don't know why you trusted that woman so much before... but she's a member of the 'Psychological Society.' Is it possible she's just playing with us?"
Tycoon raised his doubts.
"Members of the 'Psychological Society' might indeed deceive us, but she wouldn't go through all this trouble - sparing our lives in the dungeon, specially coming out to mediate yesterday - just to simply trick us."
"She must have her own purpose."
Snowy Owl nearby also expressed agreement.
"Indeed, after all, the 'Psychological Society' isn't like the 'Free Alliance.' They wouldn't do those thankless, purely mischievous stupid things."
Hearing Snowy Owl's words, Phantom spoke up somewhat displeased: "Hey hey hey—our 'Free Alliance' isn't all like that either! Only 'Master Thief' and that other guy with twisted tastes enjoy doing those kinds of things!"
However, no one paid any attention to Phantom's protest.
Instead, when Tycoon heard Phantom's words, he noticed the presence of this 'Free Alliance' member.
And the high-ranking 'Marauder' Fish beside him.
Tycoon's eyes lit up.
"Hey, but core members of both the 'Marauders' and 'Free Alliance' are here again today, so it's not exactly a 'wasted trip'..."
Upon hearing this, Fish showed a fierce smile.
"Damn, so you really want to fight to the death with us... but I've prepared myself anyway. You people would still come after me."
"If you want to try, then come on... I was pretty pissed about being interrupted yesterday too!"
She said coldly, raising her gun barrel a few more inches.
Mosin-Nagant immediately pulled out his crossbow and hid behind his car.
Radish Grandpa quickly waved his hands: "Oh dear, fighting is no good, everyone please calm down!"
"The main event hasn't even arrived yet!"
The atmosphere on the elevated bridge grew increasingly tense and heavy.
And just then...
Among the raindrops falling from midair, some flower petals suddenly mixed in.
Pink-white, bright red, cyan-blue...
Various colored petals of different shapes were soaked by the rain, swaying in the wind as they fell toward the ground.
Most of them landed on the ground, continuing to fall below the elevated bridge with the water flow.
A small portion stuck to everyone's bodies, emitting a faint delicate fragrance.
The petals grew increasingly numerous, eventually almost matching the rainfall, occupying half the sky.
This strange phenomenon made everyone look up, trying to find the source of the petals.
Li Hua looked toward Radish.
"Elder Radish, is this your doing?"
Radish was even more confused than Li Hua, shaking his head.
"I don't know... I don't have any flower seeds!"
Everyone was somewhat puzzled, while Phantom frowned as if guessing something.
"Could it be..."
Robin picked up a pure white petal that had landed on her, gently crushing it until the petal turned into points of light.
She froze for a moment, then said quietly: "She's here."
Though her voice wasn't loud, everyone heard it clearly.
And the "she" that Robin referred to...
In this context, naturally couldn't be anyone else.
More and more petals drifted down, slowly transforming into a sky full of floral rain.
And at the moment when this floral rain was at its most magnificent and beautiful...
"Boom—"
A sound resembling the majestic roar of a pipe organ echoed, surrounding the entire elevated bridge.
The moment everyone's attention was captured by this sound...
A figure descending from the sky appeared on the elevated bridge.
The girl wore a beautiful and extravagant brown tiered dress, her hair styled in two buns at the back. She sat on an inverted little parasol, as if riding a paper boat, swaying unsteadily as she landed in the middle of the group.
Then, she jumped off the little parasol, her shiny square-toed leather shoes stepping into the accumulated water, breaking the reflection of the colorful sky.
She raised her little parasol and looked around at the eight people surrounding her, a sweet smile spreading across her face.
When she smiled, the little star sequins pasted near the corners of her eyes shimmered brilliantly.
"My, my... There are more people than I imagined!"
The girl's voice was clear and sweet.
Everyone present could recognize the identity of the newcomer.
"Fluoxetine."
Snowy Owl called out the other's name, excitement in her tone.
Fluoxetine laughed heartily, revealing beautiful but pale white teeth.
"Ahahaha, that's right, that's right, it's me—the genuine Fluoxetine!"
"However, I guess... this 'Snowy Owl' lady probably wasn't invited, was she?"
Hearing this, Snowy Owl sneered: "You indeed didn't invite me, but... I came anyway. Is that not allowed?"
"Of course it's allowed, you can come if you want..."
As Fluoxetine spoke, she snapped her fingers.
A beautiful "bouquet" appeared in her hand, composed of daisies and sunflowers.
Robin's expression changed slightly.
"Hey, Fluoxetine..."
But before she could say anything, the bouquet "exploded and bloomed."
A cold steel object emerged from Fluoxetine's hand.
The Thompson Submachine Gun-M1921, known as the "Chicago Typewriter."
In Chinese, it's called the Thompson submachine gun.
Snowy Owl's expression changed as she prepared to draw her blade, but Fluoxetine's smile widened.
"Guns like this, sometimes they don't necessarily need to be fired!"
As she spoke, the fingers of her free left hand drew a circle in the air. The petals floating in the water on the ground suddenly came to life as if possessed, overwhelming the unprepared Snowy Owl and pushing her off the elevated bridge!
"Bastard!"
Snowy Owl's furious curses echoed through the air.
Fluoxetine turned the submachine gun barrel.
"That's much quieter now—as for the other uninvited uncle, you're a bit more difficult to deal with."
Fluoxetine spoke while pointing the gun barrel toward Tycoon.
"Will you leave on your own... or shall I call someone?"
Tycoon sneered: "Who would you call? If someone from your 'Psychological Society' who can definitely handle me comes here, aren't you afraid of attracting the very top members of 'Order'?"
Fluoxetine shook her head.
"You've misunderstood. When I say call someone, I don't mean calling them here..."
As she spoke, Fluoxetine pulled out her phone with a backhand motion and turned on the screen.
It showed a video call in progress—the content on the screen was the entrance of some "mansion."
"Everyone says you don't have a good relationship with your family, 'Tycoon'... or should I say, Mr. He."
"But—I don't believe it."
Fluoxetine said with a smile.
Tycoon's expression changed slightly as he looked toward Li Hua beside him.
"Brother Li..."
"Go ahead, Brother He."
Li Hua said quietly.
Tycoon nodded, shooting a hateful glance at Fluoxetine.
"'Psychological Society,' you're something else!"
Then, he turned and disappeared into the vast curtain of rain!
...
On the broken section of the elevated bridge on the other side, under the protective disguise of "Hannah," Lin Yu also put down his binoculars and sighed in admiration.
"Tsk, nothing beats the genuine article after all."
"No matter how realistic a counterfeit is, it truly can't compare to the real thing in the slightest."
