Although it was necessary to throw the pistol away, Sera had already duplicated the other one since the beginning in case there'd be something like this happened, which it really did, she brought out another pistol and aimed it at Syd.

While that moment, Daisy raine used this opportunity to make an escape, however, she can not slip through Jody's sights.

“ SERA! SHE'S GETTING AWAY! AFTER HER!” Jody shouted, “ QUICK!”

“....”

Sera hesitated.

“ JUST GO!”

Jody repeated.

“.......”

Sera then did as she said. She ran chasing after Daisy.

And as Jody thought, the Syd Barrett started to move following Sera.

He completely ignored her existence as if he didn't care about her anymore.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

She shot him in the back with air-bullets. The man falls collapsed down the floor.

But in just a second, he got up as if nothing happened, and continued running...

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

He collapsed again.

“ I don't know who you are. But you're not Syd.”

Bang!

Jody shot a big ceiling lamp on top of Syd's head.

The lamp falls down, crashing on him.

CRASH!

That's not enough. Seeing that he's unharmed with any weapons like bullets, Jody pushed a big desk next to her and crashed it on him.

She then shot another set of air bullets.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

“......”

“ You can't get anywhere. You're locked in here with me.”

“........”

If he got up again, Jody would just repeat the loop.

At least that's what she thought before something strange happens.

?!

Jody hears something vibrating.

She looked around herself but didn't see anything wrong.

The room was already empty, No any other individuals in here except her and Syd.

So where does that sound come from?

“........”

Jody went full cautiously.

*Menacing* *Menacing* *Menacing*

“ something is moving... It wasn't loud... But I can hear it...*pant* where? Is there someone with us?... ”

The vibration sound then gets louder and louder...and louder... that finally... She found out where it from.

‘It came from Under her feet’

!!!!!!!!!?????

The detritus from the scattered of lamp and desk she crashed on him.

It is shaking.

“ The scattered pieces are shaking?! ”

The oscillation gets more and more intense

Until...

The pieces of scraps formed up from debris ‘back’ into the desk and raised up from the ground, so are the scattered pieces of the lamp, they formed up to its original shape and floated back up to the ceiling.

/?!?!?!?!?/

Jody was completely shocked by the phenomenon. But she's getting a little glimpse of what's happening.

“.... Things are getting ‘reverse’ ?? ”

“........”

Syd Barrett got up from the ground but now he didn't run away.

He stared straight at Jody, another objective has been added into his head.

Terminate this woman.

.

.

.

.

.

CRAAAAASSSSHHHHH!

The clone Toshi got threw by Mickey Mannix, hitting the ground.

“ ho...I have a couple of ideas about what your ability is...”

Mickey smirked.

“ Although this guy frequently getting up is such a pain in the ass, his fighting skills ain't even the half of the real one.”

“..........”

No response.

But that's fine.

Because Mickey already knows what is happening on the other side of the balcony.

“ What happens? Ain't you just took a photograph of me and him? Where's it? I would like to see it. Heh?”

“........”

Bruford was stunned on the picture he got.

He grabbed the image tightly.

Why?

Because the pic only has Toshi in the frame...and next to Toshi, where it used to be Mickey's spot, was replace by a blurred light.

‘A blurred white light.’

“....”

Rewind back at the time Bruford pressed the shutter, At that exact moment, Mickey Mannix transferred himself into electric current and went inside the metal part of a pistol.

So the camera couldn't catch his image a bit.

Mickey dodged Toshi who's coming from behind, he grabbed Toshi's arm then threw it over the balcony. The spot where Bruford was hiding.

“ That guy...seems like I've encountered a hard one.”

Bruford then kept the picture, he turned back, pulled out his gun.

(... That bastard was trying to take a photograph of me...shit... I could be exposed.)

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The guards were taken down while they tried to aim at Toshi Ishii. The boy was faster.

Some guards also come and tried to charge at him, it made Toshi bounced to the side.

But he elbowed right next to the guard's face and swiped the guard's knee by his kicking, making the guard crashed down to the floor.

Bang!

Toshi shot him in the head.

He then continued the chase while reloading.

(... Pete was a middle man... But his strength ain't even half a teenager like me.)

Bang! Bang!

He then saw Pete went through another door, but as he saw Pete's guards were aiming at him, he slides to the cover.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Luckily it's made out of cement.

“ Shit... because I was reloading... They're already aiming towards me...”

From the guard's view, they all shouted and approached Toshi's cover.

Suddenly, the boy jumped off the cover and tried to shoot them.

Needless to say, the bullet was faster.

BANG! BANG!

They shot him in just a second, Toshi's body instantly stopped and landed down the floor.

“.......”

One of the guards lifted up the communicating mic.

“ He's dead.”

“ Are you sure? Go check his corpse.”

The guards slowly got closer...

But within just a second after that.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

From their back, Toshi revealed himself out of the corner and shot them all from behind. More precisely, he personally called it a surprising attack.

“.......”

The boy looked at his fake corpse, which is now dissolving.

Ishii's family technique. ‘The Forgery loss’.

This is his technique.

Don't forget that Toshi was also a technique owner like Syd Barrett too.

Nobody knows how does this technique works except Toshi himself.

It's the Ishii's family secret technique.

There's not much time... Toshi continued chasing after Pete.

*sound of woman heavily breathing and panting in the background*

*Woman screams*

It doesn't matter who you are, Daisy Raine hardly pushed them out of her way.

Of course, the situation here is chaotic, so... No one actually cares about her. But for Daisy, the biggest problem here is that a British girl chasing after her.

“ Hey! Get- GET THE FUCK OUT!“

Seraphina did the same thing, she doesn't care that she just hit the old lady, making the poor woman fell down the ground. She keeps chasing.

(... Luckily I didn't wear high heels...)

Sera thought.

Although her body was not that tier of a trained agent, compared to Daisy, she's stronger.

Suddenly, as her eyes spotted the perfume products, an idea pops up in her head.

“ This Bitch!!!... I have to do something!”

Daisy thought, she keeps turning to Sera and found the girl's coming after and after her.

CRASH!

“ ?! ”

Daisy felt that the girl had thrown something flying over her head, but it missed.

“ What the hell-”

However, the second later, there's something binding her feet from the ground.

And it's not just pulling back her feet to make her lose a balance. Something sharp on them damaged Daisy's legs making them bleed too.

?!?!?!?!?!?!

“ AAAAAAAAA!!!???? ”

The lady felt down the ground, she glares her eyes up to see what objects her from going... And found that...

It's a thorny vine...... and most importantly...It's made out of glass.

*Click*

A muzzle of a pistol has been put over Daisy's head.

It was from Seraphina Gilmour. Her other hand was holding a broken bottle glass of perfume products.

“ It's not very clever to run over here. With all the glasses surrounding us.”

Sera said, then hit the bottle on the ground, breaking it apart. Then, her ability got activated.

The broken pieces of glass from all these beauty products expand themselves into a thorny vine, they then went all over Daisy's body, damaging her, making her bleed...and forced her to hold still. If she moves a little, the thorn would just stab through her skin.

Daisy Raine moans painfully.

Sera pressed the AirPods, trying to contact Roxxy. And it was successful.

Seems like the signal is pretty clear over here. Not like in that room with Jody.

“ I got her! ”

Said Sera.

However...

SMACK!

Someone came up behind Sera, with the pistol, he smacked it right next to the girl's head.

Sera wasn't aware of that before.

Her body flew aside with her head bleeding.

?!?!?!??

Glaring up, they were Daisy's bodyguards.

They're already after her???

Moreover, Sera began to feel the disorientation and a high pitch noise from the collision inside her head.

That hit was pretty hard.

Sera hearts pounds frequently as she realized she's now in a trouble.

Her eyeballs expand by fear. She's never been in this situation before.

She's gonna die?

“ Sir. We got the lady. She's been chased by this girl.”

One of them reports.

“ Kill her.”

They're no chill. They ain't even care of her.

A guard nods, he then points the pistol towards Sera.

(... For real???? I'm gonna die???? I'm gonna die just like this?!....)

But just before the moment he pulled the trigger.

Sera witnessed the strange scenario once again.

She saw a ‘Red Flame’ on the ground, under the guard's feet. And the flame is ‘moving’.

As the flare split, and touched the guard's feet...

The guard's body lit up.

In Red.

But the problem wasn't just there.

Because as their bodies got lit up by the flame, there's no moaning.

Instead...

“ Reh llik.”

(... What the fuck? What's he saying?!)

“......”

Sera realized.

(... He's speaking backward?! )

“ .lrig siht yb desahc neeb s'ehS .ydal eht tog eW .riS”

Suddenly, the guard who hit Sera's head just did it again.

He stomps the pistol into the air, the same spot where she got hit except now she wasn't there. So it's like he just did the process to the empty air.

Believe it or not, as he finished doing the reverse stomping...

The bleeding and wound on Sera's head where she got hit... Disappears.

Well... It ain't just pop away or nothing like that. It's more like her bleeding got reversed until the wound turned back to a bruise and a bruise turned back into normal white skin.

Sera touched her head... The wound is actually gone.

She's very shocked at what's happening.

Sera keeps staring at the guards.

They started walking ‘backward’, simultaneously, their entire body turns black because of the flame.

Their clothes got burned, the organs like fingers and noses fell down but their bodies kept reversing...until they both stopped and died because their legs were all turning into burnt meat.

“.......”

Seraphina covered her mouth in shock.

They just got burning alive! But they show no pain at all! Instead, they're all acting ‘backward’ until their last breaths.

What the fuck is happening?

*SPLAAAAAAASSSSSHHH*

Someone came up from behind, he pours a bucket of water to all over Sera's body.

“ WHAT THE FUCK?! ”

Sera screams and turns to the person behind her,

It was Syd Barrett!

By the clothes he's wearing, this is the real Syd.

“ Syd?!... What the hell??? Why are you here?!”

The boy completely ignored Sera'd question.

He pours another bucket of water over Daisy's body.

“ This crazy bitch.”

He said that to Daisy before he smacks her head, sending the lady into a deep nap.

“ Take her to the van.”

Said The boy.

“ Syd?!... What are you doing here?!...why are you pouring-”

“ No time explaining. There's something going on I sensed it. What's the situation.”

“ there's cloning you trying to stop us from getting Daisy.”

When Sera said that, Syd Barrett's eyes widely opened.

“ WHERE?!”

“.... Jody is facing him right now... At the room behind the stage...”

She said.

Sera spotted the boy's reaction. He seems... hurries for something...

“ Syd WHERE'RE YOU GOING?! ”

“ Help Jody. Hurry. Take this bitch to the car. And get out of here. Make sure your body is covered by water if you don't want to die.”

Said Syd.

“ What do you mean????”

“ JUST GO! ”

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

The car's door opened.

Roxxy Barrett was shocked at the picture in front of her.

Seraphina Gilmour came back from the tower with Daisy Raine.

But both of them were like they just got out of the swimming pool.

They both wet.

“ SERA?!... What's this?! ”

“........”

Sera paused to pant. Then she answered her.

“ I...I don't know... Syd pours it on me...he said the plan got changed...and...”

“ And what?!...”

“ He's... He's going for Jody... She's fighting with another clone of him in there....”

Roxxy eyes widened as she heard that there's also Syd's clone beside Toshi.

“.... Wait....”

The girl paused.

“.... Have you seen strange things coming from the fake Syd? ”

Roxxy asked.

That made Sera confused even more.

“.........”

They both staring at each other in shock.

But Sera decides to tell Roxxy the truth.

“ yes.... There's Inversion stuff happening back there.”

As the word ‘Inversion’ came out of her mouth.

That's the same time Mickey has connected and reported the situation into Roxxy's notebook.

“ [ THE ENEMY CAN CREATE A COPY OF PEOPLE! IT HAS THE SAME ABILITY AS THE HOST! JODY! SERA! GET AWAY FROM THERE!!! I REPEAT!!! GET AWAY FROM THE CLONE SYD!!!! GET AWAY NOOOOW!!! ] ”

“.......”

As if the world is pausing.

Sera has been with Mickey for a while but she never...ever heard this tone of voice before...

Mickey Mannix...

The most frustrating person who always keeps getting under her nerve...

He is shouting with his life.

He is scaring.

“............”

Sera has completely gone silent.

Her head is spinning, but one thing she could catch from this conversation is...

Whatever Jody Johanson is facing right now...

She's going through something that even the experienced agents like them are traumatized.
