The waistcoat jumps sideways, please Ke Xue stay away from me!

"I understand."

The three of them just kept walking forward in slight silence, and even the light of the flashlight became weaker and weaker.

"Wait a moment, there's a fork in the road ahead."

"There are exactly three forks in the road...one for each person?"

"No, there's only one flashlight, and even if we find a way, we can't notify other people. Even if there's someone inside or there's an emergency, we can't take quick action. We'll just walk together."

It was obvious that he was tricked in the beginning, and later he became a teaching assistant in order to recruit talents. In the end, he became more and more like a real senior and reliable instructor.

"Let's go to the left first, and walk close to the wall. I'll take the lead, and Kenji and Jingguang...can I ask Yanji to go at the end?"

Kenji looked at Qingzhu Youyang and Zhufu Jingguang, and immediately realized that Jingguang was afraid of the dark, and it might be even worse in a small place.

"it is good."

The three of them just walked deeper. So far, they haven't seen any intersection leading to the top.

As I walked, I came across a fork in the road where I had to choose one of N options.

"...Is the person who dug this tunnel a rat? He loves digging holes so much."

Kenji poked his head out from the back and saw the complicated tunnel in front of him.

"By the way, is Sany a roadie? Why don't you let Yan Er lead the way?"

"No, I'm just confused about an unfamiliar place. As long as I walk through it once, I will never forget it again. If this is really that kind of maze... it would be more appropriate for someone like me to lead the way."

"If I hadn't been able to split it in half, I would have thought that the one in front would have opened the way and the other one would have been behind me."

Even if the person in the front was dangerous, he also won the job of caring for the person in the back.

The three of them continued walking, not knowing whether the flashlight would last until they found the exit or obtained any useful information.

"Hiro, are you okay?"

"……fine."

"I feel more depressed when I walk... I just chatted with Kenji for a while, does Hiro want to come and chat now?"

Speaking of Kenji... Qingzhu Youyang looked back and said, OK, nothing was lost.

"it is good."

"Well... let's continue with the topic we just talked about. Which department does Hiro want to go to in the future?"

"I...if everything goes well, maybe I will work hard with Zero? If it doesn't go well, I'll go search the first lesson."

In this case, we can continue to look for traces of that person.

"I want to be in the same department with my good friends... Having said that, I'm even more curious about where the squad leader will go. Maybe he will follow one of the two pairs of you? I'm off track. The next question may be a bit heartbreaking, Hiro You can choose not to answer.”

"Zero's grades are all A and A+. If nothing happens, he will probably work in a top-secret industry after graduation, or even disappear... Anyway, the threshold for entry will be very high. Judging from Zero's usual appearance, he will probably work for If you can do more, try your best.”

"But most of Hiro's grades when he came in and his current grades are only around B, and a few are A, which is quite satisfactory. Being an ordinary person outside is definitely very good, but it's not good enough here."

"Hiro, you are just like ordinary people and Zero has always been very good. Do you think you can be in the same department with Zero after graduation?"

"..." Zhufu Jingguang, who was behind Qingzhu Youyang, did not answer, as if he was thinking seriously about something.

Qingzhu Youyang saw that there was no voice coming from behind him, so he didn't intend to continue questioning.

After all, he is still a child... What he said just now must have made him very sad.

"...Assistant Qingzhu."

"I also know that there is a big gap between me and zero, but until the end, nothing is inevitable. It's just my natural thought to want to work with zero, but no matter what, I will work hard and stand with him as much as possible. , stand till the end.”

As much as possible...everything possible?

"...Outside, in every school, the best students in every class may not be well-known within the school, but after graduation, they will be celebrities in various industries."

"But if it's a police academy...the best students in each class will disappear after graduation."

"They give more than those exposed to the sun, but few people know about them."

"Even if he died suddenly one day, he would not hold a final farewell funeral with great fanfare. It may be many years before we know the news of the departure of our former friends... I will ask you the same question as I just asked Yan Er, if the other party is here I left you before, even left you right in front of my eyes, can you accept it?"

"I can. Zero's wish is to protect the country he loves and fight for it for the rest of his life. If he leaves before me... I will build an unknown monument for him on the unknown mountain, and take some of him with me when I take the time every year. Come over with the things you like and the good news, and then continue his unfulfilled wishes.”

The dark underground gradually took on a different color.

"...It's all like this."

"It's not necessary to be so serious in order to work hard to be like Zero, because if you want to carry out something, there is a position called a liaison person. People like Zero are familiar with or feel at ease. If not, you can usually see him. .”

"If this is what Jingguang thinks, I will help."

"I accidentally said something serious again...I'm sorry again."

"Also, hagi, don't secretly think about Matsuda Jinpei leaving before you at the end."

"...Huh? When did you find out? Hagi clearly didn't see Sany turn around."

"...Indeed not, it's just that I've done this kind of thing before."

Although the process became a bit more serious, it did distract Jingguang, and he managed to walk some distance by talking.

I don't know how long I have to walk before I can get out. There is no other information along the way except that there is a maze with many roads underground.

As for why not run...? The first is the issue of physical strength, and the second is the oxygen in the underground and the effects of low temperature. Even if you wear enough clothes, you will definitely lose temperature in this situation.

Qingzhu Youyang stopped again, and was accidentally hit by Zhu Fu Jingguang... because Yan Er bumped into Zhu Fu Jingguang.

"hiss……"

"Is ssny okay?"

"Ah, sorry, hagi didn't see it just now. Did something happen in front?"

"It's okay. There is another fork in the road ahead, and..."

Qingzhu Youyang groped forward and fell silent after touching the mark he had just left.

"...It seems to be the same road as the one we took at the beginning, although this is at the exit of the road just now."

The atmosphere was a bit gloomy, and the coldness underground seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.

"After walking for so long, it's time to leave the police academy anyway, so it's getting more and more rampant here, isn't it?"

"No matter how good the security above is, it can't stop the rats below. I really want to find out...but it's good to find a way out now."

The fork in the road in front of me is more twisted than before, and the traces of life are heavier than before. Plus underground...are there some criminals who want to take revenge on the police?

The two people behind were also a little silent, looking at the road in front of them with Qingzhu Youyang in a place that was not so narrow.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have shaken the morale of the army, but I believe you two. Do you want to hear the information I see now?"

"please."

"Deep underground, traces of people's lives and projects have increased significantly after leaving the police academy. They may be some criminals who want to retaliate against the police. There is a heavy echo in the open place, and we always turn on the flashlight if there is anyone in front of us. Maybe I’ve realized it a long time ago.”

"And..." Qingzhu Youyang took out his phone again and felt a little bad looking at the chat history between himself and the person whose name was Taiyang.

Several messages I sent one after another showed that they were sent successfully, but the other party except the initial reply was [OK. ] There has been no reply except for this. It shouldn’t be... Could it be?

Qingzhu Youyang stared at the interface carefully, and after exiting and opening it again, he said word by word:

"Signal jammer."

...Damn it, I didn’t expect to end up here.

Qingzhu Youyang realized that he could not rely on foreign aid and started to use his skills. He gave the flashlight to the two of them and told them not to make any sound. Then he walked up to the earth wall, closed his eyes, and knocked on it time and time again.

…. …. ….

"...Good news, the exit is not far away, but there is an unknown object in the area connected to it."

"Sany, what was that just now?"

"...The general terrain was confirmed through the echo. There is a gap in the echo on the far left, which can lead to the top, but there are some hard unknown objects in it. I am not sure what they are."

But, let’s keep going first, at least we have to go out... The minimum target has been completed.
