Yukimura's shadow

"Recently, the disappearance of girls in Tokyo has continued to heat up. Last night, a female body was found in Nagasaki Prefecture. It was unrecognizable because it was soaked in water for too long. It is currently waiting for the family to claim it."

"It's here...I last night..."

"Experts speculated that it floated here from somewhere upstream... The specific location is under investigation, and I hope to get an answer as soon as possible."

"It's scary! Such a big lump..."

"Currently the DNA comparison work is in progress, and it is initially identified as one of the missing persons."

In an apartment in the dark, the room is full of debris.The night wind was blowing from the unclosed windows, and the garbage bags scattered around the room rustled.Expired food smelled disgustingly putrid in the air, and tiny bugs stalked the room silently, making a slight humming sound.

The room was dark and the only light source was the old TV.The brightness of the picture forms a sharp contrast with the dark room, illuminating the figure nestled on the sofa.Wrapped in a dirty and old quilt, he leaned there motionless, looking lifeless.

"At present, 24 people have been confirmed missing, and this may be the third identified victim."

"All three victims died, but we have reason to believe that our police can solve the case as soon as possible—" the female anchor of the live report was speaking impassionedly, when the screen suddenly flashed, and there was a "beep", and the only light source in the room went off. Disappeared.

The man threw away the remote control in his hand, leaned over the table to touch the beer, poured two mouthfuls and found that it was an empty can, and could only throw it away in disgust.Strands of hair blocked his eyes, he slightly raised his head to look in the direction of the bookcase, the reflection of the lens flashed by.

Unlike the messy floor, the bookcase is the cleanest place in the room. At a glance, all kinds of science teaching books are neatly arranged. There is also a photo frame on the second floor, which is a group photo of a man and a woman.

The transparent glass window seemed to divide the room into two worlds.It also perfectly separates his past from his present.

That woman was his past fiancée and will be his forever fiancée.

He moved his head away in embarrassment, not daring to let her see himself like this.

It is said that 24 people have been confirmed missing... But in fact, there should be many times more victims, but the police didn't notice that's all...

Suzuki closed his eyes, memories flooding his mind continuously.

When the body of the first victim was found—no, it couldn't be said to be a body.All the police found was her internal organs.Someone brought internal organs to the door to find a black-hearted doctor to change their organs, but accidentally leaked the data, and only found out after comparison.

This incident was reported by the media half a month ago, but Ichiro Suzuki knew that it should have happened earlier.

Now, the clinic has been closed down, and the patients are under strict scrutiny and monitoring. The police tried to find the truth along the way the organs were obtained, but it has been a month or two since the incident happened, but there is still no evidence. A little gain.This is also the reason why they dare not disclose it to the masses in time.

Second example...

Suzuki's cell phone rang, but he ignored it.He still closed his eyes, his mind was full of information about that person.

The girl's body was found in an alley in the red light district.The police released news that it might have been a love killing, but Suzuki knew that the girl suffered great hardships both during her lifetime and after her death.Ironically, it was a drunk who called the police, only to find out that it was a dead person after rape/dead body, and the shit was frightened.

The phone is still ringing tirelessly, and there is a tendency that if he doesn't answer the phone, he will call forever.Suzuki was drunk and wanted to play tricks, but in the end he had to take it out. After seeing the name on it, he was more than half sober, and almost threw the phone out with a trembling hand.

"Idiot! Why are you only answering the phone now! Do you want to die?" Hiroko's voice came from the other end of the phone, with undisguised anger and irritability.

Suzuki could almost imagine the expression of his glamorous and snake-like boss at this moment.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. What happened?" Suzuki suppressed the disgust in his heart and hurriedly asked, his tone subconsciously became humble and frightened, he thought he was really doomed, even alcohol could not save this cowardly character.

A guy who is so timid that he is afraid of cockroaches, the most daring thing he has done in his life is probably to propose to her, right?

"Have you read the news, you idiot? Come to the company for a meeting right away, you newcomers should have a better memory! Ask him to dispose of the corpse and do it like that! No brains! I will give you a good lesson today class!"

As Bi Luzi was speaking, it seemed that he kicked something over, and there was a ringing sound from the other end of the phone and her scolding, followed by the rushing sound of high-heeled shoes.

She must have just received the news not long ago, and she was in a state of being about to explode.This matter was originally entrusted to a rookie who was at the same time as Suzuki, but such a situation did not expect to happen.

She has never had a good impression of newcomers, and she always feels that Suzuki is not doing well. If the company is not short of people, she really wants to kick out this poor newcomer with low turnover.

Suzuki was also agitated for a while, but he jumped up obediently and quickly, enduring the headache after drinking, holding the phone between his face, grabbed a few clothes in a hurry, and rushed into the bathroom.

Suzuki was originally a science teacher in a junior high school, and currently works for a company called Fraulein.The name means "daughter of gold" in German.

The company is involved in a wide range of industries, and what he has been exposed to so far is only beauty.The company's president, surnamed Terahara, is a reclusive, very powerful old man.And although his son is a bit ignorant, he is still able to support the wall.

But no one would have imagined that such a company named "Qianjin" actually makes money by illegally exploiting women.

Highly dependent on special effect beauty products...Once the renewal payment cannot be paid, no matter whether it is drug/addiction attack and death or being used by the company for final use...none of them will die well...

He got this "job" with great difficulty, and he couldn't be kicked out of his job.

Thinking of this, he squeezed some shampoo indiscriminately and rubbed it on his head, his eyes were getting darker and darker between the disheveled and dirty hair.

He was coming for revenge, but he couldn't just let the opportunity go by like this.

----

On the afternoon when Sanada came to visit, some people came to the house one after another.

Although Yukimura's body does not support him to exercise excessively, it is no problem to watch the boys go crazy.

He gathered the people together and analyzed the videos he had watched for them. The group of people sat together, as if they had returned to the days when they held meetings in the club office.

"This year's competition is basically over, and next year's competition will start in April." Yukimura leisurely flipped through the desk calendar in his hand, and drew a line under April [-]st of the coming year, "It seems that the days are still very long~"

He smiled, slapped the desk calendar on the table, and his eyes sharpened instantly, "If you think so, you should give up on the national competition early."

The teammates who were still laughing instantly quieted down.

"Bunta, let's talk about it. This ball can be caught obviously. What were you thinking when you let it go?" Yukimura moved the notebook over as if he hadn't noticed the silence, and put some The video of the duel with another school.

It was the second school in ten thousand years in the county competition. Its strength was much worse than that of Lihai, but they always liked to come to their school to play league matches. People can't help but have signs of arrogance.

The military division reported this matter to him, but it has not been resolved.

"Huh? Tell me, what are you thinking?" Yukimura was still smiling, but Xiaozhu didn't dare to look at him.

"I... I was wrong..." Piggy desperately filtered all the reasons in his mind, and finally met Yukimura's eyes, and had to hang his head and give up.

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have been distracted thinking about the little cake..." Mrs. Wen had a sad face. No one else at the scene noticed this. He thought he could escape, but he didn't expect to be taken away out.

Why is it always he who gets the knife...

Jack couldn't see Wen being too sad the most, he seemed hesitant to speak, Yukimura glanced at him, and the tea egg who hadn't stood up sat back resentfully.

"Don't worry, take your time one by one." Yukimura slowly raised the corners of his lips, but that smile made everyone tremble in unison.

"Masaharu." Hearing Yukimura's roll call, the white-haired fox shuddered and almost exploded with fright.He glanced at others, looked at himself, and threw away the braid in his hand without any trace, and then sat upright with a smile.

"Minister, tell me." He looked like he was accepting criticism and education and studying hard, but his eyes that kept looking around showed that he might be planning some small calculation to avoid punishment at this time.

"... Masaharu, what is your height now?" Yukimura asked the other party suddenly by surprise.

"Pfft? One... one seven five..." King Ren thought for a while, his tone a bit perfunctory.

"Really? Shili said that the white-haired brother looks shorter than everyone else—" Yukimura said calmly, took the computer and typed on the keyboard, not caring at all that Nioh, who always cared about height the most, heard this What is the response to the words.

"If you usually straighten your back as seriously as you do now, maybe you can grow more than 1.8 meters."

So Yagyu Hiroshi who was sitting on the side saw with his own eyes that his partner, who had always been so lazy as if he had no bones, sat up slightly again - although this did not last for too long, after all, his nature is hard to change.

"Next—let's talk about your scene." Yukimura smiled and turned the computer over. The moment Nioh touched the computer screen, all the cynicism on his face disappeared without a trace, even His face was still a little ugly, he probably already guessed what Yukimura was going to say.

The match that Yukimura chose was an intramural match between him and Sanada.

"You are indeed very smart, but there are smart people in the world."

"Once the game gets to the late stage, I think you also know what physical strength means."

Yes, physical strength, Nioh Masaharu's biggest weakness.

With a cold face, Yukimura took the attendance book from the military adviser, which clearly recorded the number of evasions and laziness of King Nio.Mori Kosaburo, who was sitting on the other side, couldn't help but hide in the corner, a bad premonition rose in his heart...

……

----

Some whores don't read what the author has to say, so here is a unified review of the settings that have appeared for the little angels.Another thread of the story will be slowly peeled off.

1)

Cicada and Nobuo are twin brothers, both of their parents died. Cicada is engaged in the killer industry to pay for Nobuo's high medical expenses, but he tells Nobuo that he is doing high-level security work.

Both brothers can hear sounds related to life, but the symbolic meaning is different.

2)

In recent years, the disappearance of girls in Tokyo has gradually come into people's view. The company behind it is somewhat related to the characters on this line. Suzuki is a necessary supporting role, but he will not write in detail. The death of his fiancée is related to this company (but not the disappearance case. related), he came for revenge.

3)

A detective was hospitalized. Many people speculated whether he came to investigate this matter, and Nobuo was more worried about whether he might have something to do with Cicada, so he went to test it.

Hmm...it seems like that's about it, and there are still some foreshadowings that can only be said after the plot is written~ (such as a little boy who behaves a little strangely)

☆, plan

The day Yukimura returned to the hospital was also a working day, and his parents hurried back to work after sending him to the station.The snow has stopped for two days, and gradually there are some traces of melting, and water stains can be seen everywhere on the road.Yokohama is also a big city for migrant workers. As the New Year's Eve approaches, the station is full of people.

Yukimura saw a big guy standing not far from the ticket gate.

He still wears a black baseball cap and a set of sportswear inside, and the black down jacket on the outside makes him look extraordinarily burly.He stood there without saying a word, his natural black face was very intimidating, many people around couldn't help but look at him cautiously, even the security guards patrolling this area became more frequent.

"Had breakfast?"

Yukimura walked forward slowly, carrying the thermos bucket, which contained the soup that grandma started making yesterday.His tone was extremely relaxed, as if he was not surprised to meet Genichiro Sanada here.

"... I ate it." Sanada was stunned for a moment, obviously this was not the question he expected to hear.When he saw the smile on Yukimura's face, he realized that he was being led by the nose again.

"I didn't come to you to talk about this." Sanada snapped his hat angrily.Then he raised his head and looked straight at Yukimura.

"What did you mean by what you said yesterday?"

Yesterday he took the main candidates to Yukimura's house. According to Yukimura's wishes, everyone held a long-lost regular meeting. Even in order to sort out more detailed information, Sanada himself took the video to analyze with him early in the morning. .

At the meeting, Yukimura sternly counted down all the flaws that everyone had made in the game during this period of time, even Sanada himself was no exception.

His words were sharp, and he was quite aggressive. Originally, Sanada didn't think there was anything wrong. He even scolded them when he heard their muttering after leaving. It wasn't until Nioh stood up and asked him if something happened to Yukimura. Sanada didn't understand. What is the faint uneasiness in my heart?

"What do you mean by what you said yesterday?" Sanada repeated seeing Yukimura smiling without saying a word.

"Why, what do you think I mean?" Yukimura's voice was still very soft, with a bit of irresistibility in his tone.Standing in front of Sanada, although he looked thinner, his momentum was not bad at all.

What do you mean by this... In addition to the meeting yesterday, did something happen secretly that she didn't know about?

Yami stood beside him without saying a word, a little curious, but only glanced at them and then looked away, pretending she didn't know.

Although she often stays by Yukimura's side, it is inevitable that she hears something.She has never interfered with the affairs of Yukimura's life, not to mention what Sanada told her that Yukimura was hiding something, but she couldn't figure out what Yukimura was thinking at this moment even after getting along day and night.

"...Is it your illness..." Sanada clenched his fists angrily, lowered his head, the brim of his hat covered most of his expression, and his whole body was tense.

"No." Yukimura replied lightly, "Although I'm not in good health now, I won't collapse yet."

Sanada stared at him dubiously, but Yukimura let him watch.Although the boy's body looked thin and thin, it was straight, not necessarily weak.

"I think you still remember Tezuka?"

Sanada was taken aback, Tezuka Kunimitsu, how could he not remember.Not to mention the connection between the two families, what happened after the Jr. youth game in elementary school is something he has never forgotten.

After they entered school, Li Haida and Ice Emperor both carried out the reform of the upper and lower grades, but Tezuka’s Seigaku still followed the system that the first-year students could not become the main election, which also led to his desire to defeat Tezuka in the Kanto competition this time. Frustrated.

"Two days ago, I saw him in the hospital." Yukimura's words were like a thunderbolt.

On the contrary, Masami glanced at him. Yukimura stayed in the room most of the time every day, and occasionally went to Nobuo Harada's door. She didn't know who he had seen.

But Masami didn't expose him when she saw his determined face - even if she asked Sanada, she couldn't hear her, and she could only be kept in the dark.

Where did Xu get the news, and I don't know if it's true or not, anyway, it's enough to bluff people.

"...?!" Sanada's eyes widened in astonishment.

"Although I don't know what went wrong, this reminds me." Yukimura glanced at the timetable, his face still calm, "This year's national competition, he is in the second grade."

"There is also the Ice Emperor. Although it is also a freshman team, this year's results are no worse than previous years." This item was clearly written in the information provided by the military adviser.

Seeing more and more people queuing up, Yukimura also spoke faster.

"What's more, the head of the Ministry of Tradition seems to be willing to spend money. Even if we have applied for the school's association bonus, their training conditions are definitely not worse than ours."

This is true. I heard that the school has introduced a lot of advanced equipment.This year they will also hold winter training, and the location will be somewhere under the Atobe Foundation. This kind of thing is beyond the expectation of most schools, let alone...

Tennis clubs in all schools have coaches, except Lihai University.

"Facing such powerful enemies, can we do it now?"

"Even if I can't participate, I still hope that Li Haida can win the next championship." His tone became a little excited, but he controlled it rationally.

"Yukimura..."

"Senichiro, what did we say?"

Sanada gritted his teeth and closed his eyes tightly, as if he had made up his mind.

"Lihai won three consecutive victories, no dead ends!"

Yukimura smiled again, and stretched out his hand to tuck up the messy ears and hair again, as if the ice and snow had just melted, warm and soft.

"...It's really careless!" Sanada pulled the brim of his hat unnaturally with a blushing face, seeing Yukimura's face pale under the smile, his heart sank again.

"You too... don't relax!"

Sanada hesitated for a moment and then punched him on the shoulder without any strength, making Masami Nagasawa terrified while watching.But Sanada knew that Yukimura did not want him to treat him differently, and the iron fist punishment with all his strength was a respect for Yukimura.

"Put away your weak appearance, recover from your illness and return to the team! Did you hear that?!"

The legendary Iron Fist is indeed not in vain.Yukimura snorted and took the punch abruptly, but still had a smile on his face.

After slowing down, he covered Sanada's big hand, and pushed his fist back little by little, his words sounded like he was gnashing his teeth.

"Senichiro, you've become more courageous."

"...Well, that's not true." Sanada, who was being clenched by his fist, suddenly panicked a little, but he still kept a cold face without revealing the slightest clue.

Fortunately, Yukimura just pushed back and didn't do anything else. He glanced at the timetable, then hurriedly said goodbye to Sanada, turned and walked towards the ticket gate.

"Wait, then."

Yukimura waved his hand without looking back.

"I will return."

----

"What's the matter, you've been looking at me like that since just now." Yukimura lined up in the line and put on headphones as a disguise again.

"...I'm just envious of you guys...and——" Masami tried to pull her hand away from Yukimura's, but was gripped even tighter.

Yukimura even scratched her palm, signaling her to be quiet.

"...It's nothing!" Yami said hastily, with the familiar heat on her face again.Fortunately, she quickly calmed down again, but she didn't plan to tell Yukimura that she wanted to see him on the court.

Yukimura could only smile helplessly, but he felt that Nagasawa Masami became more and more human as he got along longer, which was completely different from when he met her in Kyoto before.

Under the dignified appearance, he is actually a very simple guy who is easily shy, occasionally has small emotions but is harmless.

Yes, he remembered seeing her somewhere, but he wasn't going to tell her yet.

Thinking of him, she couldn't help laughing, Yami gave him a suspicious look, and then the train arrived at the station and began to board.

After getting in the car, I saw that the car was full of people.Masami once again faced a dilemma——

Stand all the way, or follow Yukimura's suggestion and squeeze with him?

Seeing Yukimura's kind smile, Masami almost took a few steps back to prove her determination.She couldn't help but think of that morning when Yukimura asked her if she should take some responsibility——

OMG!

Masami hesitated at the time, and finally could only promise to think about it again—what do you think? !Her head is about to explode!Now I am always on tenterhooks, especially afraid that he will come to ask me what I think if I disagree with him.

But fortunately, Yami won't have to face him anymore for the next few days.

Yukimura put away the backpack he was carrying, and put the thermos bucket in his arms, and when he turned his head, Nagasawa Masami had disappeared without a trace.

-

hell.

Tang Dou was holding a basin of hot water and twisting a facekerchief in the room. On the bed next to him lay the Sleeping Beauty whom he took care of. She slept soundly and showed no signs of waking up.

But Lord Ghost Lantern suddenly told him that the girl would wake up today and told him to prepare in advance.

Tang Dou looked at the time, and it was still 1 minute away from the time Mr. Ghost Lantern said.He stood in front of the bed blankly holding a hot towel.

A minute later, the girl woke up without warning.

Seeing Tang Dou, she seemed to be startled at first, then calmed down, thanked him and took the hot towel he handed over.

"Go and call your lords and tell him that I have come as promised."

The author has something to say: Brother Cun: This is really a good girl who is innocent and has no intentions.

Masami: ...(Once again hiding something about hell, slapping her face.)
