In the original work, it definitely wasn't this troublesome.
She kept firing her pistol nonstop, like a submachine gun.
It was nothing like it is now.
"Chase!"
The two people behind them ignored the cuffed guy and immediately gave chase without a word.
"Quickly call for backup."
While pulling Higashimatsuyama Yone, Kobayashi Itsuki turned to her and said, simultaneously looking around to see if there was anything they could use.
He had already imagined many scenes about the Jackie Chan Furniture City in his mind.
But after looking around, there was nothing they could use.
There was absolutely nothing in these boxes that could be pushed over as a roadblock to delay the two guys behind them.
Higashimatsuyama Yone had already started calling for backup.
However, it was clear that it would still be a while before backup arrived.
Seeing the two guys behind them getting closer, Kobayashi Itsuki had a flash of inspiration.
There was nothing in the alley that could be used as a roadblock, but he had something on him.
Earlier, the system had opened a bunch of items from a treasure chest.
He had sold some of the more valuable ones, and the rest that were difficult to deal with were still in the system space.
Thinking of this, Kobayashi Itsuki, using the cover of his body and the dim light in the alley, took out a bottle from the system.
The bottle was about the size of two palms and contained a full jar of glass marbles.
Kobayashi Itsuki was afraid that the Kindergarten children might accidentally swallow these, so he hadn't given them out as gifts, but he didn't expect to use them now.
Kobayashi Itsuki grabbed the bottle and threw it forcefully behind him.
With a "bang," the glass bottle shattered.
The marbles inside spilled out, instantly covering the ground and rolling towards the two people behind them.
The burly man and the urban beauty behind them only heard a crisp sound and hadn't even clearly seen what had happened when they suddenly felt something under their feet.
Both of them immediately lost their balance, stumbled for a while, and finally fell to the ground with a "thud," tumbling head over heels.
Kobayashi Itsuki glanced back, and seeing their state, he breathed a sigh of relief.
An ordinary person like him was simply no match for these specially trained individuals.
Especially since Higashimatsuyama Yone was also unreliable.
'Indeed, I still need to find a way to become stronger as soon as possible.'
Kobayashi Itsuki muttered in his heart, in this seemingly ordinary world, if there wasn't some kind of supernatural power, it would be hard to say.
The only way was to rely on the blue treasure chest to see if he could open any supernatural powers.
After all, only after reaching blue would there be a certain probability of opening a supernatural ability.
Pulling Higashimatsuyama Yone, they ran out of the alley and arrived at a bustling street filled with people.
Once they were here, there wasn't much pressure.
However, Kobayashi Itsuki still didn't stop; he had already seen a team of police officers approaching not far away.
He dragged Higashimatsuyama Yone towards that team of police officers.
He hadn't forgotten that in the theatrical version, these guys were much bolder.
They even dared to fight fiercely with the Tamayura clan at the airport, let alone on the street.
"Kobayashi-san, it's okay now, we..."
Higashimatsuyama Yone thought the other party was just a simple accomplice of the thief and didn't think much of it.
She felt that now that they had arrived at such a lively place, no matter how bold the other party was, they couldn't possibly attack the police on the street.
Just as she finished speaking, the burly man and urban beauty, whose clothes were covered in dust, chased out.
Upon seeing Kobayashi Itsuki and Higashimatsuyama Yone, they immediately prepared to pursue them without hesitation.
Seeing how rampant the other party was, Higashimatsuyama Yone had to swallow the words she was about to say.
Because it was simply too exaggerated.
She even subconsciously looked down at her own clothes; she was clearly wearing a police uniform, so why were these people still so brazen?
Higashimatsuyama Yone didn't understand, but Kobayashi Itsuki wouldn't hesitate at all.
He waved directly at the police officers not far away.
"Officer, over here, the criminals are over here!"
Hearing Kobayashi Itsuki's shout, the police officers who were about to come and support Officer Higashimatsu quickly ran over.
The two who were still preparing to continue apprehending people immediately looked very displeased when they saw a team of police officers approaching.
Kobayashi Itsuki knew that there probably wouldn't be any problems now, and quickly pushed Higashimatsuyama Yone.
"Officer Higashimatsu, hurry up, I'll help you stop them."
Whether it was fake or not, it didn't matter for now; the attitude had to be shown first.
After all, Kobayashi Itsuki would never miss an opportunity to gain favor like this.
"No!"
"I'm the police..."
At this moment, the other police officers arrived. The two pursuers behind them, seeing that the situation was unfavorable, were unwilling but had no choice but to temporarily give up. They gave the two a deep look and turned to run.
"Stop!"
The arriving team of police officers, after seeing the two escape, split up, with some giving chase and others surrounding Kobayashi Itsuki and Higashimatsuyama Yone.
"Officer Higashimatsu, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Higashimatsuyama Yone quickly shook her head and said, "They are accomplices of the previous thief, we absolutely cannot let them get away!"
"Don't worry, they won't escape!"
A police officer comforted Higashimatsuyama Yone, then looked at Kobayashi Itsuki.
"This is..."
"He's my friend, he helped me catch the thief."
Higashimatsuyama Yone explained, and several police officers repeatedly thanked him.
After that, there wasn't much for them to do.
However, they still had to go to the police station to understand the details of the incident.
Especially since Higashimatsuyama Yone had fired her gun.
Firing a gun in Japan is not a small matter, similar to Kobayashi Itsuki's previous life, detailed explanations of the situation are required.
At the police station.
Kobayashi Itsuki, who had just finished his statement, walked out of the room, and Higashimatsuyama Yone, who had been waiting outside for a long time, immediately came up to him.
"I'm sorry for keeping you out so late."
"I really caused you a lot of trouble today."
Higashimatsuyama Yone bowed deeply to Kobayashi Itsuki, apologizing profusely.
"No, no, no, what trouble? Being brave for a just cause is something I'm willing to do, and besides, isn't assisting the police something one should do?"
Kobayashi Itsuki smiled and looked at the clock on the wall; it was already nine in the evening.
"Officer Higashimatsu should be off work by now, right? How about we grab some late-night food together?"
Higashimatsuyama Yone looked at the smile on Kobayashi Itsuki's face, helplessly brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and laughed, "No problem, but I'm paying."
"Then I won't be polite."
Higashimatsuyama Yone paying was naturally no problem; it would also make it easier to ask her out again next time to continue building rapport.
Leaving the police station, Higashimatsuyama Yone led the way to a small bar, a place where she sometimes came for a drink.
