Eleven at night.
On the 60th floor of Ikebukuro at night, most of the shops have closed their iron rolling doors, but the place for drinking and playing took the opportunity to occupy this street, and the atmosphere of the night, the world seems to be turned upside down, A completely different atmosphere from the daytime is brewed.
However, the "hybrid" point has not changed. Some people choose to spend the night there because the comic shop is cheaper than a hotel, and they are too lazy to catch the last train; on the road near the station, karaoke clerks are running around to solicit customers, and they may see students who are in collective action or have a welcome party. of people in the society will not let go; office workers who have just finished drinking and are getting ready to go home drunk; young people and foreigners who plan to play all night... Overall, although the momentum is not as strong as during the day, there will still be some in the evening. Crowds flowed in the streets.
However, in a certain section of the street, there are thousands of people strangely gathered... At first glance, this group of people does not seem to be coming to the party at all. Everyone wore different clothes and didn't show any battles. They just stood in their favorite positions, or stood with a group of companions with a similar atmosphere.
Some of this group of people are office workers, some are high school girls in uniforms, some are college students with no special features, some are foreigners, some are people who seem to be gang members, and some are housewives... Although there are There seem to be more people in the younger generation, but in the eyes of onlookers, they will only wonder why there are so many people on the road today.
Among them, even standing on the outermost edge, the most striking are a tall blond man in a bartender suit and a taller black man-Heiwajima Shizuo and Simon.
"What is life? What do people live for? Someone asked me that, so I slapped him with one foot into the coffin... If these questions came from a high school girl who likes to pretend to be a poet, that's fine. A guy in his twenties who originally wanted to be a gangster, but ran away because he hated doing chores told me, this is already considered a crime, right?" Heiwajima Shizuo leaned on the lamp pole and sent today's message to Simon. Complaining, I don't know where to beat people into the hospital again.
"That's right!"
"No, it's your freedom to think about the meaning of your life, and I'm not against it. However, what can you do with your own life to ask others? So, I said to him when his pupils gradually enlarged. : 'This is your life, you just want to live for the sake of death'. But when I think that the other party is the store manager, I feel that I am still a little too impulsive... "
"That's right!"
"...I said Simon, you weren't listening to what I was saying, were you?"
"That's right!"
"Simon, you guy!" Heiwajima Shizuo roared, as if he was about to pull up the lamppost and smash it at his friend.
but…
"Yo~~ Xiaojing, I haven't seen you for so many days, I'm still very energetic~~" A sudden interjection interrupted Shizuo's atrocities.
"Ah—?!" No, it's actually just "almost diverted the target of the atrocity." Interjecting when Shizuo Heiwajima was angry is a high-risk matter... Fortunately, there are more than a dozen people coming at once, and the strongest Ikebukuro is not going to They all flew away, "Cut, it's you... Also, don't call me 'Xiao Jing'."
"Don't worry, you can change my nickname if you like, just call me 'White Hair' just like this split." Unlike Shizuo, Liz is not too obsessed with names.
"Hmph, I'm not that boring." He still seemed dissatisfied, but after saying this "equal treatment", Shizuo's anger still subsided.
What makes people annoyed is not the matter itself, but the one-sided bullying. [You punch me, I punch you] is nothing.
"So many faces~~" Shizuo's daily complaints came to an end, and Simon used awkward Japanese to advertise the store where he worked, "My friend Liz, please be sure to take your friends to the "Lucia Sushi Restaurant" ", delicious and healthy~!"
"Cheap?"
"NO~~If I get any discount, I will become the seaweed of the Russian mainland~" Simon shook his head quickly.
"There is a chance to take them there... But don't be so dedicated after get off work, you can't stand it." If he knew about Simon's relationship with his boss, Liz would not have said such a thing... but, he has about his whole life. I don't know this kind of thing, who is so boring to listen to other men's stories.
Liz turned to look at the crowd, "Speaking of which, what's going on here, why are so many people gathered?"
"Huh? Don't you know? Then how did you get here?" Shizuo asked strangely.
"Ah... I received an email from an unknown source before," Liz turned on the screen of her phone, called up the email, and turned it over to show the two of them, "Someone suddenly invited us to join DOLLARS, I feel something is wrong, come over and take a look That's it - by the way, I didn't join in, even if it's a network organization with almost non-existent constraints, I still don't like to have a 'leader' on my head." As for why you know that you came to this place at this point in time? That is the prompt of the "Quest System".
"It's a familiar email~"
"... Your idea should be the so-called 'big man's spirit'? I don't hate it, but rather admire it."
Simon Hei and Shizuo Shima also became members of DOLLARS because of this email. Of course, at that time, it was just a casual attitude of "see what it is". After all, this virtual identity can be terminated at any time - they do not You will know that the person who sent this invitation email to him is Orihara Rinya.
"So~?" Liz spread her hands, reminding them that they hadn't answered her own question.
"Actually, it was the founder of DOLLARS who held the first meeting. We... No, probably the others are the same, just came over with the idea of seeing how many companions there are?" Shizuo pushed on his sunglasses, looking at more and more A large crowd, "... This number is slightly higher than I expected."
"Uh, that's it?" This answer was far below expectations! Liz slumped all of a sudden, he was looking forward to more interesting things! "...I don't know what's the point of a meeting of members in a chat forum."
"Even if you say so..."
Ordinary DOLLARS members only use this thing as a forum. To put it bluntly, this is a group of secondary diseases. A group of netizens forcibly gave themselves a "DOLLARS member" hat to pretend, but the internal members did not realize this secondary disease... By the way, because of this online identity And the people who came to the street party at night, the second disease was slightly more serious.
However, what is about to happen here is not so simple-
(Beep beep! Beep beep!)
It's the phone's e-mail notification sound.
"?" Simon took out his cell phone.
(buzz... buzz... )
It's the vibrating sound of your phone's email.
"?" Shizuo also took out his mute phone.
"...Huh?" Liz had already guessed what would happen next, and he looked at the center of the crowd from the periphery.
Sure enough, the melodies of different notifications came from everyone in the crowd, and everyone looked at the emails in their phones.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Daji ran behind Heihejima Shizuo and tried to peek at the contents of the email.
Shizuo frowned, although this girl's behavior is very cute, but because he looks cool and handsome, in Ikebukuro, he met countless nightclub girls who flirted with him, and he has long been immune to this cute girl... No special treatment, just email Read out the content, "—the people who are not reading emails on their mobile phones are enemies. You don't need to take action, just stare at them quietly."
"Are you talking about us?" Sun Shangxiang said in surprise. Like Leeds, they didn't join any DOLLARS.
"No, it's not us." Zhao Yun looked at some people in the crowd - a group of men in suits and leather shoes, and they also didn't receive the email.
But unlike them who were in the outermost circle, this group of men in suits were being stared at by all the DOLLARS members holding mobile phones, staring in all directions... Then they disappeared, and the crowded crowd blocked the sight of Liz and others.
"Who?" Liz asked.
"Who knows." Shizuo closed the phone and put it back in his pocket.
It was said before that what was staged in Ikebukuro was a [group drama], so from the perspective of only one person, maybe even if a certain incident was completely resolved, it would be the result of being confused.
Of course, eyes don't kill people, and they don't solve problems.
"There is someone on the roof over there..." Lian Xing said suddenly.
Yes, we still have to rely on force to solve the problem, and the enforcer of force is the headless horseman!
