[Master K] The bad one next door

The moment the bloody man rushed over, Maki subconsciously took a few steps back, sharp nails narrowly brushed against the tip of her nose, and the trajectory they passed brought up a foul-smelling wind.She couldn't stand still and fell on the cold ground. Her hands softened, and the terminal in her hand fell to her side with a "snap".In the dark, the screen flickered and then went black.

The last ray of light finally disappeared.

After the blow failed, the blood man straightened up slowly, his blue-gray eyes were strangely bright in the darkness, and the pupils seemed to be churning with sinister black air.It stared straight at her, arched its back slightly, and opened its claws ferociously, as if preparing for the next blow.

Mami woke up from the stunned state, and when she saw the bloody man's posture, she immediately panicked.She tried her best to support the ground and wanted to stand up, but she plopped and fell to the ground again.Only then did she realize that her legs were unbelievably soft, and the muscles in her calves were twitching uncontrollably, and she couldn't stand up at all.

Seeing the green saliva dripping from the corner of the blood man's mouth again, her heart skipped a beat, and she fell into despair.

Could it be that she really wanted to die in such a ridiculous place?

What a joke!

With trembling hands, Mami fumbled around, trying to find some self-defense device, her eyes were fixed on the blue-gray eyes in the darkness, her muscles were stretched to the limit.

The next second, the blood man moved.

At this moment, her fingers touched some cold stick-shaped object.Without thinking about it, she grabbed it, and when the blood man rushed towards her, she used all her strength to stab it fiercely.

In the blink of an eye, the sound of a sharp weapon piercing into flesh and blood resounded in the darkness.Then, there was the painful wailing of the injured creature.Maki was numb from the huge impact force, her forearm was almost numb, but the impact just now allowed her legs to regain their ability to move.Without even thinking about it, she grabbed the terminal and stood up quickly, staring at the blood man who screamed miserably with wide eyes, propped her knees, and panted heavily.

In the absence of light, she couldn't see the other party's situation very clearly. She could only vaguely see the blood man curled up with his head covered. Not reaching the pupils, the unreal screams were mixed with the inaudible "tick" sound of dripping liquid, which added a bit of creepiness to the scene.

--escape!run away!

Suddenly, there seemed to be a voice in her mind urgently warning her.Shinya clenched the terminal in his hand, turned around and ran.

She staggered around the crooked shelves and ran into the store in a panic.Relying on the faint silhouette in the darkness, she reluctantly turned a corner along the road, and a door with the words "Do not enter" appeared in front of her eyes.

She broke in without hesitation and locked the door behind her.

After entering the door, Maya leaned weakly against the door panel, stared up at the ceiling and panted violently.She was dazed for a while, her body gradually slid down the door panel, and finally fell to the ground.

The cold touch was transmitted to the back through the stone cloth of the clothes, and in the silence, she could almost hear the chaotic and heavy beating of the heart on the left chest.The hoarse howling of the blood man seemed to be echoing in her ears, and she was stunned for a long time before she began to look around the room in a daze.

This is a storage room, with a pile of boxed drinks and food in the corner, and an old locker by the wall, the color is iron gray, and it is covered with red rust.Mami looked around cautiously, and after finding that there was no danger, he calmed down a little, relaxed his tense body, knelt down on the spot exhausted, covered his face with one hand, and took a deep breath.

Really... I have never encountered such a thrilling situation since I was a child.

There are such weird existences in the world, and she has also learned a lot.

With a sigh, Maki took out the terminal from her pocket.

I don't know if it was broken or it was out of battery, no matter how much Miya played with it, it didn't respond. The black screen stared at her coldly, clearly reflecting her pale cheeks.She stared at the terminal, inexplicably lost and disappointed.She persevered in tinkering for a long time without turning on the screen, so she had no choice but to give up, put it aside, and think of other ways by herself.

Just when Ai Mami was about to put the terminal on the ground, the screen suddenly lit up.She was startled, and before she could react, a pleasant ringtone came from the terminal in her hand.

This is--

She quickly looked at the screen.When she saw the familiar name that kept flashing on the screen, her eyes instantly became moist.

— Misaki Hatta.

The terminal emitted a faint but warm light, which made her panicked for hours strangely calm down.The gentle thoughts of being at home flooded into her heart like a tide. She curled up in front of the door, looking at the screen of the terminal, her eye circles gradually turned red.After a while, she leaned her forehead gently on her knees, covered her mouth, tears poured out of her eyes, and her throat choked like a wounded little animal.

It turns out...she hasn't been forgotten.

It turns out...she still has hope.

Everything that happened today made her exhausted, and she almost had the idea of ​​giving up when she encountered danger several times, but this call from Hatta brought hope to her in despair.

She sniffled, raised her head, and was about to press the answer button with red eyes.

——The next second.

"Bang bang bang!!"

"Roar!!"

Behind him came the sound of something slamming against the door panel and the roar of a monster.

The thick iron door was suddenly knocked out with a bulge, and Maki was startled, and quickly freed one hand to hold the door firmly, preventing it from entering.The thing outside the door continued to bump into it.This time the force was stronger than last time, the iron door was distorted and deformed all of a sudden, and the door panel almost fell off the door frame.

After several times of coming down, the door has become pitted and dilapidated, and it seems that the monster will be able to snatch the door in the next moment.Maya's tiger's mouth was numb from the shock, and his wrist was so sore that he couldn't control it.The terminal was still ringing tirelessly, she gritted her teeth and tried to hold the door, stared at it for a few seconds, let go of it, threw it on the ground, then turned her back to the wall, firmly pressed her hands against the vibrating iron Door.

The terminal continued to ring for a while, then stopped.

"Bang! Bang!"

The impact became more and more intense each time, and Maki could not hold on several times, but she still held on.Even so, the situation became more and more dire - in just a moment, her forehead hair was already wet with sweat, her breathing became heavier, and her hands and feet gradually lost strength.

If it goes on like this, the monster will be able to break in after a while.

But now she can only support the door passively, making the last powerless resistance in a game that is bound to lose.

—Damn it!

She gritted her teeth, barely stopped, her eyes were dark.

Obviously I have seen hope...but at this time...

A sound of impact and the creaking sound of the steel bar deforming to the limit disturbed her mood. She could only use her last strength to support the door panel, her mind was in chaos and she couldn't bear to think about him.

At this moment, the screen that had just gone dark suddenly lit up again.

Then, the pleasant ringtone of an incoming call rang.

With a beep, the phone was connected automatically.

<<<<<

The watch rang for a while, then hung up automatically.

Hatta was stunned, suddenly at a loss.

I have never encountered such a situation—maybe it is common to others, but it is impossible for Yazawa Maya not to answer the phone no matter what.Of course, it is not possible that there is no battery or that the terminal is not with me, but her loss of contact and missed calls...is it really just a coincidence?

Kamamoto looked at him with worry on his face: "How is it?"

The orange-haired boy didn't speak.After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and dialed again.

"Beep...beep..."

Hatta's heart almost reached his throat.Unexpectedly, this time, the call was connected after only a few seconds.

He was overjoyed, and before the girl could speak, he yelled into his watch: "Where did you go? Auntie is very worried about you, do you know that?!"

After the shout fell, Maki didn't answer, only heard something "bang bang".It took a long time to hear her crying voice: "I, I don't know where I am..."

Hatta thought about what kind of answer she would have, but she didn't expect this to be the case, and hearing the girl's tone, she was obviously terrified to the extreme.He was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly began to panic: "...Hey, what happened to you?"

On the other side of the watch, the "bang bang" sound of the impact became more intense.This time Hatta clearly heard the sound of something hitting the door.Maya didn't speak for a moment, as if he was sorting out his thoughts. After a long time, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "I'm in a station now, but I don't know how I got here... I just fell asleep and woke up." ... and monsters ..."

Her voice became weaker and weaker, as if she had reached her limit, and her intermittent choking voice was full of helplessness and despair: "I really can't hold on...but I don't want to die..."

The more she went on, the more flustered Hatta became, and the image of the black-haired girl struggling to death almost appeared in her mind.He couldn't help breathing for a while, and then he shouted eagerly: "Wait! Hold on for a while, I'll come to you right away—"

Before he finished speaking, there was a huge explosion-like sound from the opposite side, drowning out his voice.

On the other side, the iron door was slammed open, separated from the door frame, and flung out violently.Maya was slammed on the ground by the flying iron door, her knees and chin hit the ground, and she felt a sharp pain.

Tears welled up almost instantly.

In the blurred vision, only the screen light of the terminal not far in front was flickering and beating, and it seemed that it would go out in the next second.She gritted her teeth and tried to crawl out from under the iron door that was pressing on her body, but her whole body was so sore and weak that she couldn't move.

While struggling, something dragged to her side and bent down.

Sensing the approaching danger, Maki froze and lost all mobility in an instant.She didn't even dare to breathe, swallowed, her fingers trembled, and she slowly turned her head to look around.

What came into view was a pair of lifeless blue-gray eyes.

They stared straight at her.
