[Master K] The bad one next door

"boom!"

There was a deafening explosion from across the street.

The field of vision of the left eye was instantly overwhelmed by the gushing flames, and the passage of time in the sight seemed to slow down suddenly - the cars parked on the street were crumbled little by little under the sweep of the flames, the clear brown of the tall cypress branches and the bushes The crisp green grass suddenly turned into scorched black, and the pedestrians who had just been leisurely rolled aside in embarrassment. The peaceful and peaceful world immediately became fragmented at the moment of the explosion.

At the moment of the explosion, the ground trembled violently like an earthquake. The plate on the table slid off the ground and broke into pieces with a "crash". It was also knocked over and splashed on the ground.

There was a moment of silence in the store, and then it was filled with terrified and piercing screams.People rushed to the store door one after another, but at the door you pushed each other and squeezed into a group. For a while, men scolded, women sobbed, and children cried endlessly.

When the explosion sounded, Mami didn't have time to cover her ears. At this moment, her eardrum was still buzzing, covering almost all the surrounding sounds, and even her vision began to blur.She looked blankly at Zhui Tian rushing towards her, shaking her shoulders lightly, opening and closing her mouth anxiously, but her brain was sluggish, completely clueless about what the other party wanted to express.

"Mami? Maki? Are you okay?" Zhui Tian patted her face trying to bring her back to her senses, "Mami...Damn it, what the hell is going on!"

The dizziness in his head gradually dissipated, and the first thing Zhenya heard when he woke up was the curse from his friend gnashing his teeth.She blinked her eyes, and finally came to her senses: "Just now was... an explosion?"

"Ah, yes." Zhui Tian said solemnly, "I don't know what caused the explosion. It's okay to say if it was an accident, but if it was man-made..."

Even if she didn't finish the sentence, Miya knew the meaning of her words.

——If it is artificial, the people on this street will be in big trouble.

Mami turned her head to look out the window.The streets were in a mess, with scattered debris and charred corpses everywhere, and the fire was spreading very seriously. Obviously, the situation had reached a critical point.The gate of the game hall across the street continued to emit thick black smoke, and it seemed that the place where the explosion occurred was there.

There was a lot of noise nearby, apparently the crowd hadn't calmed down yet.Zhui Tian took a deep breath, and held his forehead weakly: "I didn't expect Mami to have a good sixth sense."

Maiya was stunned: "Huh?"

"Didn't you just say that you saw someone running past?" Zhui Tian explained, "From this point of view, the arsonists might be those people."

Maya looked at the whole street silently, her face was a little pale after the tragedy after the explosion.Although I have seen similar news reports on TV before, this is the first time that I have been so close to death.

Even the dead body is close at hand.

After realizing this, she felt that her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she was so depressed that she couldn't breathe.Swallowing, she was about to look away when she suddenly caught a glimpse of several figures swaying in the thick smoke at the entrance of the game hall.

Her pupils shrank suddenly, and she blurted out without thinking: "Mayue, be careful!"

The next second, another explosion occurred at the entrance of the game hall.The originally shattered glass door was blown away in an instant, and a faint red air wave swept away from the door, smashing violently on the window in front of the two of them.The window quickly spread a spider web of cracks from the bottom, and then burst suddenly.

"Boom!"

"Whoa!"

The scorching heat waves mixed with sharp broken glass scattered in the air, hitting the deformed tabletop, hot ground and people like a torrential rain.The moment the glass cracked, Miya had already dragged Zhui Tian and rolled to the ground in embarrassment. The skin of her forearm and leg scratched through the broken glass, leaving bursts of stinging pain, but at this moment she had no time to focus on the wound. on.

The two hid under the table, panting heavily.There was a faint burning pain in the eyeballs, and the eyes were filled with glaring blood red, Maya stared blankly at the running legs within the limited visual range, her ears were full of tragic screams and burning "bah!" "呲", the only strength was the strength of Zhui Tian beside her holding her left hand.

The beating of the heart was unprecedentedly fast, almost jumping out of the throat.Under such circumstances, the black-haired girl couldn't help feeling at a loss.

How to do?Now how to do?

I don't know if the smoke was too strong, but she suddenly had the urge to shed tears.

I have never had such an experience before, and when I really encountered it, I could only hide in a corner and tremble in despair, asking an unknown person over and over again: Why did this happen?Why is this happening to me?Can I really get out alive?

Once there is such a weak thought, uneasy emotions will flood the whole person's consciousness like a flood that bursts a bank.

The girl couldn't help thinking: Why is she so afraid?Is it because of pain?

It's not that he hasn't been injured before, just like the severe wound he suffered on his forehead before, until now he can still see the faint scars.She was in pain that time too, but she was still able to laugh out loud.

A mouthful of smoke was choked into the nasal cavity, and his throat was so hot that it was extremely uncomfortable, and Maki couldn't help coughing.

So where does the fear come from?So much so that this abyss of emotion almost crushed her—even the whole street—?

— is the fear of death.

She suddenly realized.

The more you fear death, the more panic you will have; the more panic you will have, the more you will die.This forms a causal cycle, which is also understood by all thinking people, but after a real crisis, most people's brains choose to forget.

As ordinary people who are weak, in this situation, the only way to save their lives is reason.

So she can't cry.At least not crying in this kind of place.

Tears were about to well out of the eyes, but Maki suffocated them back.She wiped her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm down.

The hand that Zhui Tian held her was trembling slightly, but the normally cheerful girl was silent at this moment without making any sound.Mami shook her hand back vigorously, and when the short-haired girl cast a bewildered and flustered look at him, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and softly comforted: "It doesn't matter May, there will always be a way to escape."

—There is always a way to survive.

On the corner of the street, Barbara Bar.

There are not many people at this point, there are only a few two people in the dimly lit bar.The blond man in a suit in front of the bar was wearing a pair of purple sunglasses. He quietly wiped the wine glass in his hand with a rag. My first love.

The decoration in the bar is simple and exquisite. At first glance, it looks like the shadow of the noble courtyard in the [-]th century, but it is also mixed with a little modernity.In addition to wine glasses, there are also other small decorations of different styles neatly placed on the bar counter: such as Thai elephant wood carvings, sophisticated electronic alarm clocks, and eerie voodoo dolls—this makes the whole bar look different. stand up.

The silver-haired girl sitting on the sofa in the corner folded her fair little hands on her lap, wearing a beautiful red Gothic loli dress, her expressionless face was as beautiful as a doll in a lady's cabinet.

It is difficult for ordinary people to imagine that there is such a six or seven-year-old child in a bar, but miraculously, this little girl has no sense of disobedience in this place.Her lavender eyes silently stared at the coffee table in front of her—to be precise, the red glass balls on the map of the coffee table were spinning by themselves.

The mellow aroma of wine floated in the air. With a "click", the bottom of the glass and the marble tabletop made a crisp sound, and a glass of red bean ice was placed in front of the silver-haired girl at some point.

The silver-haired girl raised her head in a daze, and found that the blonde boss put down the wine glass she was cleaning at some point, and thoughtfully filled her with a glass of red bean ice.

The glass-like purple eyes reflected the gentle face of the blond man, and his smiling voice was pleasant and magnetic: "Little Princess Anna, please use it."

"...Thank you, Izumo." The girl named "Kushina Anna" was silent for a while, and thanked softly.She carefully picked up the glass of red bean ice, looking at the slowly flowing transparent red liquid in the glass and the ice cubes at the bottom of the glass, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled into a small arc.

"...red."

"Ah, the red one." Kusanagi Izumo responded kindly.He leaned down slightly, looked at the red glass balls parked in a certain area on the map, took out a cigarette, lit it with a lighter, and took a deep breath in his mouth. His eyes behind the purple lenses were thoughtful: "It seems that those guys escaped to Zhenmu Commercial Street..."

I thought it would be easy to catch them, but now it's a little troublesome.

If they took the entire street as hostages in order to escape for their lives, it is unknown how things would turn out—after all, these few people are all unscrupulous desperadoes, and it is not surprising that they would do such a thing.

Anna held the cup and took a sip, then suddenly said, "Is it all right?"

"Oh, oh, I can't say for sure." Kusanagi patted her on the head, with a helpless tone, "One Alpha-level ability user, four Beta-level ability users-these outsiders who are not under the control of the king will No one knows the extent of the arrogance... Well, let's wait until Xiaobatian and the others come back."

As soon as the voice fell, the door of the bar was kicked open with a bang.

"Damn it!" The orange-haired boy walked in carelessly, threw the skateboard in his hand on the ground as soon as he entered the door, and yelled with an angry face, "Those guys escaped! Next time I see them, I will definitely put these All scumbags will be slaughtered..."

"—Little Hatta." Kusanagi narrowed his eyes, and his tone implied a warning, "Don't make any noise in the bar."

The completely different attitude towards herself and Hatta made Anna couldn't help raising her head and staring at him silently, but he still looked calm.

Of course there is no comparison between a loli and a brat. First of all, the obedient soft cuteness of the former is in stark contrast to the bearish nature of the latter. His sanctuary—his bar, his bar—was a mess.

Hatta immediately stopped talking.

"I'm sorry." He scratched his head embarrassingly, and the previous arrogant arrogance subsided a lot after Kusanagi spoke.Fushimi followed him into the room from the door, his slightly squinted gray eyes behind the lenses and his procrastinated tone clearly told others that he was very upset now: "Those people slipped away, there were five of them, and the two of us didn't have time to catch up." superior."

Holding the cigarette between two fingers, Kusanagi took a deep breath: "It's not your fault, the abilities of these outsiders are really strange."

Hatta was obviously not reconciled.

"Brother Kusanagi, let's just leave it at that?! Those guys are thugs worse than us!" He clenched his fists angrily, "Besides, they deserve to be beaten..."

"...What do you mean 'thugs who are worse than us'!" Can you stop comparing your family with others? !

Seeing the orange-haired boy choke suddenly, Kusanagi sighed, flicked the cigarette ash, and said unhurriedly: "Besides, I didn't say so, just let them go."

Hatta's eyes widened: "Brother Kusanagi, you mean—"

"Yes, thanks to Anna's ability, we have already found their location." The blond man tapped the place with a red cross on the map, his eyes behind the purple lens suddenly became sharp, "Notify the others, let's grow up The spirit of Wuluo—"

"—and burn them to the point where not even their bones are left."
