The fallen leaves rolled past me, and I stood in front of the gate with a dazed expression, the bag in my hand almost fell from the shock.

Although I know that Japan is a country that often suffers from landslides and road collapses, but...

The gate I was familiar with collapsed even with a piece of cement road in front of it, and the surroundings were crumbling, like a destroyed street tree.

I really didn't expect that one day this "collapse" would hit the door of my unit.

Although the location of Huangquan Research Institute is so remote that there is only one bus line, and the bus only comes every hour, the law and order has always been very good.

Not to mention thieves and hooligans, even tramps have hardly been seen.

I hesitated for a long time not knowing how to get in.

"Why are you here?" Nanye Xiuyi's slightly surprised voice sounded from my side, I turned my head, and saw Nanye Xiuyi hurried over with a little mess on his body.

He was dusty and dusty, and some signs of damage could still be seen on his clothes, as if he had rolled down a mountain.

Thankfully, his handsome face was unscathed.

"I'm at work." I replied blankly.

This question is asked.

I blinked.It's not a day off, of course I'm here for work.

"It's you, and this...what's going on?"

I looked at him, then pointed to the big pit at the door, and the destroyed street trees around it.

"There was a problem with the pipeline and a piece of the road collapsed. When I called people to repair it, the car fell in and smashed the gate. I went to pull people, but I was also taken down—fortunately, it was only on the side. Everyone No injuries."

While talking, Minano Hideichi pointed to the guard room on the side, and could vaguely see a few people sitting there.

Just because half of the house is blocked, and they are facing away from each other, I can't be sure how they are doing now.

"Then I..." I rolled up my sleeves and prepared to help.

Nothing else, but in case you need help moving a brick or bandaging it.I can still do it.

"No." He immediately rejected my proposal, and then explained with a wry smile as if he was afraid that I would think too much: "The road is not safe yet, so it's better not to walk around casually. The people in the infirmary are already treating the wounded. The patient is treated, and other professionals will come soon."

Then he said in surprise: I should have informed you last night that today is a holiday... Didn't you receive the news? "

I was distracted by his surprise, shook my head and said, "No."

If I had known that I didn't have to go to work today, I would definitely not be able to get up early to drive to work.

But having said that, what's wrong with this pipeline? It can collapse like this.

I looked at the big pit with jagged edges and seepage at the bottom, and my confusion didn't decrease, but seemed to increase.

Looking carefully, there seems to be some brown winding strips... What kind of plant rhizome?

"Anyway, I'm not going to work today, so go back first." Minano Shuichi's voice interrupted my train of thought, and when I turned my head, I saw him raise his hand and pat my bag.

"Hanging leaves."

He held up the dead leaf in his hand.

"Then I'll go back first." I looked at the miserable doorway, still a little uneasy. "Do you really not need my help? I have nothing to do today..."

"The most important thing is that you go back safely." Minano Hideichi shook his head, and then he heard someone calling him from the guard. He apologized to me, and hurried back to work.

But I don't know if it's my illusion, I always feel that just for a moment, I seem to see a child with a pacifier in its mouth.

But it was only for a moment, and when I looked over again, I only saw the backs of a few people who were discussing something.

...It must be a hallucination, who would let a child who is still sucking a pacifier stay in such a dangerous place?

I looked around and found that there was really nothing that needed me, so I sighed and turned around and walked towards the bus stop.

"I hope it will pass sooner."

Although the job my stepfather found for me was not my first ambition, most of my colleagues were indifferent.

But not having to work overtime and having a heart-pounding generous salary is enough to eliminate all the above unsatisfactory.

Although I don't think it will close down because of these problems, it is estimated that the loss after such a toss will not be small.

After waiting for a while in such annoyance, I waited for the bus that was swaying over.

Although it was working hours, probably because it was a remote route, there were surprisingly not many people on the bus.

And I don't know if it's because there are few people in the car, I feel a little cool when I get in the car.Subconsciously turned his head, but almost collided with someone

Just as the car door was about to close, a boy with a sea urchin head all in black rushed up.

"Sorry." He probably didn't expect that there were other people getting into the car here

"I'm also at fault. I shouldn't have stood still." I shook my head and didn't take this matter to heart. Then I found a seat in the back row and sat down. I picked up my phone and started researching this month's news Book list.

Japan is a country that likes ranking very much.

From students to competitions, to various things in daily life, it can be said that as long as there is a possibility of comparison, there must be such a thing as a list.

The TOP10 most popular desserts, the 10 most popular shops, and the 10 books with the most feedback, etc.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the ranking is only 10, but the ranking of 10 is the most common.

I'm flipping through the 'Top 10 Simplest Recipes' right now. For a disaster-level novice like me, those recipes from various countries are useless. Buying them back means eating ashes on the bookshelf. It's better to start Put your goal and mentality on the most basic 'home cooking that a fool can make'.

The bus staggered away, and at the next stop, a small man in a jacket and a mask got on and sat next to a girl who was also not tall.The girl immediately moved to the side uncomfortably.

And just when I was in "Once you learn it!"While hesitating on "[-] Commuting Dishes" and "How to Make Home Cooking Meals That Idiots Can Move", a sticky voice came from the side. "Fresh woman..."

This is so rude.

I frowned and looked at the small male voice diagonally in front of me.

From my point of view, I can just see the strange brilliance in his already cloudy eyes, and the malicious intention can be seen without trying to understand it.

I stood up and patted the girl who was about to cry.

"Aren't you coming to the station?"

"Ah, yes." Hearing what I said, the girl immediately stood up with relief and walked towards the car door.

"What are you doing?" A stern voice came out from the side, I turned my head, and saw the young man with sea urchin hair grabbing the hand that the man extended to me.

"Smelly brat, don't meddle in your own business."

The man turned his head and said viciously.Then I don't know if he was frightened by his ferocity, the young man with the sea urchin head visibly froze when he resisted him, and his face became ugly.

I don't think he's that embarrassing or overbearing.

It's already amazing for someone to stand up and act bravely. Why should people be required to be like Superman and be perfect in everything?

I clenched my fists, ready to teach him a lesson.

But just as the bus pulled up, the smooth-moving body jerked up suddenly, and the young man with the head of a sea urchin dragged the man out.

After being dragged out, the man also stood up, and his left hand, which he had been hiding all this time, was finally exposed. It turned out that the reason why he had been hiding his hand in his bosom was because he was holding a kitchen knife in his hand.

There was also a splattered brown stain on the blade of the kitchen knife, reminiscent of something ominous.

"Yahahahah!"

Someone noticed the knife in the man's hand, and immediately let out a scream that resounded through the sky.

Then, the few passengers in the car rushed down in a scrambling manner.

"Oh, oh, they all ran away." The short man grumbled and complained, "It's really hard to escape from there. If I don't cut anything, I will be rusted."

I also stood up from my seat, and carefully moved to the side of the sea urchin-headed youth, and together with him, we watched vigilantly at the man who was gesticulating something morbidly.

"Compared to men and the elderly, women and children have better cut flesh."

He didn't charge up directly with the knife, but continued to move his body sickly and stiffly, "Don't you think? The soft and slippery feeling on your body when you cut it..." He suddenly became intoxicated.

"Ah, ah, once you taste it, you will be addicted. It will be unforgettable for a lifetime, and it will be unforgettable for a lifetime."

"You guys think so, too? The screams when you're hacked are really fascinating."

I'm starting to feel like I'm really, really unlucky today.

First, the road to the research institute where I worked collapsed. I went home early and wanted to buy a book, but I encountered a mental illness... Maybe I was a murderer. "We need to call the police."

I whispered to the people next to me, and then started to operate the phone with one hand to call the police.

"It's useless."

The young man with the head of a sea urchin unexpectedly rejected my opinion.

"This is not something the police can handle." The handsome and gentle young man showed a heavy expression, as if he was making a difficult decision.I don't know what he is struggling with, I only know that the police must be called immediately.

So I fumbled very hard and pressed the alarm call - that's the bad thing about touch-screen phones.

Because I can't find out the exact interval of the keys, I'm not sure if I really pressed the right phone.

The moment I was about to press the call button, viscous and evil eyes stared at the two of us.

The cold, blunt malice was physically uncomfortable - as if to say 'let's start with you'.

I clearly realized that he was going to attack me.

"Run!"

The young man with the head of a sea urchin yelled at me anxiously, and at the same time, his hands were tense... seals?Anyway, it's a strange pose.

""muddy". "It seems to have said such a word.

Didn't expect this righteous young man to be a senior nerd?

While I was thinking wildly, I didn't stop my body movements. When I saw that person rushing towards me, instead of backing away, I threw my phone at him first, and then took advantage of his head sideways to move away, and I grabbed his hand with all my strength. The bag in his hand was used as a shield, and the other hand grabbed his wrist while he was swinging, intending to snatch the knife from his hand.

The sharp tip of the knife that stood like blood stains scratched my bag, and the things in the bag immediately hung on the gap without falling off.

But fortunately, I also grabbed his wrist at the same time. As soon as Yi grasped the hard and heavy wrist like steel, I knew that I was definitely no match for him in strength, so I rushed backhanded the scratched man. The bag hit him in the face.

My bag isn't sharp and angular, so it's hard to do much damage directly to him, but at least it blocks his line of sight for more time so we can...

can...

"Ahhh-"

The screams resounded through the sky.
