"impossible!"
"It shouldn't be!"
The boss of 'Rock Electric' carefully inspected the second-hand TV sold to Jason in the afternoon, his face was full of doubts, and his brows were furrowed even more.
As a qualified second-hand electrical appliance owner, when he purchased this TV, he not only checked whether the various bills are normal, but also carefully checked the inside of the TV. There is absolutely no new road aging, and there is no trace of renovation. .
Like he and Jason said, it's a TV that's probably new.
According to normal use, even if you watch it for twenty hours a day, it will not be a problem to use it for three to five years.
In this regard, Boss Rock is quite confident.
After all, when he was young, he was a man who wanted to be a 'mechanic'.
but…
Broken is broken.
Even if he can't find fault.
"I'll replace it for you."
Boss Rock said bluntly.
There is no denial, let alone evasion. The rock who takes the second-hand electrical appliance store as his last dream in life will not be so unbearable.
"This is my operating error..."
"Help me take this back first, and I will bring you another one tomorrow."
Jason's principles made him explain subconsciously, but Boss Rock didn't give him this chance at all, so Hui Lijing picked up the TV and walked downstairs.
"Mom!"
But the moment he opened the door, Boss Rock let out an exclamation.
Hui Lijing even raised the TV above her head and was about to throw it out.
Then, he was held down by Jason.
Outside the door, there is a person standing.
A man covered in blood.
Urashima!
Even with blood on his face, Jason still recognized the other party as the afternoon policeman.
It's not something to watch carefully.
Of course, it's just a little bit of careful observation.
What's more important is the habit.
Get used to identifying the identity of the 'corpse' in the bloody mess.
As a 'postman', when Jason was in the 'City That Never Sleeps', he did not miss collecting the corpses of his 'colleagues'.
The old man is still a little human in this regard.
Although there will be no coffins, nor will there be a real cemetery.
But there will always be peace in the ground.
It's the same even if the corpses are mutilated in various ways.
The lack of arms and legs is nothing to Jason. The real thing is that the face is damaged, especially when he was involved in the melee and there was an explosion. This made Jason and others basically use Luck prevails.
However, after a long time, he has also developed the ability to quickly identify the characteristics of corpses under bloody and bloody conditions.
As for is there any trick
There is.
That is to remember in advance the characteristics of the 'corpse' when it is alive.
After death, just compare.
Urashima in front of him was no exception.
Jason remembered it at the first sight. The other party's hairline is M-shaped, a little higher on the left side, with earlobes, and dark skin.
"What's the matter, Officer Urashima?"
Jason asked.
"Save, save..."
The young police officer didn't finish speaking, just passed out on the ground.
However, before the opponent fell down, Jason grabbed the back of the opponent's neck.
"Is there a medical kit?"
Jason asked Hui Lijing.
"have!"
The female boss put down the TV and ran downstairs.
Except for being taken aback when she saw Urashima covered in blood, the female boss looked excited the rest of the time.
She smells 'case'!
finally!
Is the dull life coming to an end
Very good!
Thinking like this, Hui Lijing was even faster.
So much so that when she rushed back with the medical kit, Jason had just put Urashima on the sofa-a blanket on the sofa, which was originally placed next to the camp bed.
"I will bandage!"
Hui Lijing volunteered to say.
Jason didn't stop.
Seeing Hui Lijing who was bandaging Urashima, Jason frowned slightly.
It's not that the bandaging technique is wrong.
It was because of Urashima.
Urashima, who appeared here covered in blood, made Jason have more guesses.
First, something happened at Tongshou Temple.
Second, the police look less reliable than expected.
third…
Is this another 'bait'
Since the other party had made corresponding arrangements at Tongshou Temple, Ryosuke didn't even come out, even if Urashima stayed in the 'rear', there was no possibility of escaping.
Unless the opponent let Kazuma Urashima go.
Why did you let Kazuma Urashima go
Isn't Urashima appearing here obvious enough
The other party came for him.
"It's really persistent!"
"Such persistence... Sure enough, did 'I' do anything?"
"Or what do I care about?"
Jason stood there thinking.
Boss Rock at the side gently pulled Jason's lapel, motioning Jason to go aside.
"Be careful, this young man is following Ryosuke."
"Ryosuke has provoked many people, and many people want his life."
Boss Rock said softly.
With a little kindness, but also with a little jealousy.
The accumulation of a long time is destined to see more than Hui Lijing, Boss Rock.
Also know better solutions.
"Call the police."
"Having trouble finding the police."
"Both of us calling the police at the same time - at least the chances of bad luck are less."
Boss Rock said.
Obviously, Boss Rock also saw the meaning behind Urashima's appearance here.
But he didn't want to be involved in it.
So, he raised two people to call the police.
Because, even if the other party has someone in the police, it is impossible to cover the sky with one hand in the true sense.
"Um."
Jason nodded first.
Then, he shook his head again.
He very much agrees with Boss Rock's proposal.
Before he knew the enemy, he would not attack rashly.
Especially, when the other party has clearly laid a trap.
but…
When he smelled 'food' on Urashima, the plan changed unconsciously.
Boss Rock looked at Jason's appearance, first he was stunned, then he sighed.
"Sure enough, you are also a cold-faced and kind-hearted fellow!"
"Although it looks ferocious, there is warmth in my heart... It's like a frog in a rice field. It looks ugly, but it's the guardian of that farmland."
Fierce
ugly
frog
Hearing Boss Rock's compliment, Jason frowned.
He was just a little rough, how could he be so vicious
"I think you are too short, so look at me from the wrong angle. When you can grow to the same height as me, when you see me, you will find how wrong you are."
Jason said seriously.
"Hahaha."
"Maybe."
"Old man, I guess I have no chance."
Boss Rock couldn't help laughing when he saw Jason's serious face.
"I'll deliver the TV tomorrow, and...be careful."
The final warning was slight, Boss Rock picked up the TV and walked slowly down the stairs.
Jason closed the door, and when he returned, Hui Lijing, who had already bandaged Urashima, was standing there.
"I can confirm that Boss Rock's words are not wrong."
The tall Hui Lijing said seriously.
Jason looked down at Hui Lijing, who was 20cm lower than him, and chuckled lightly.
"dwarf."
Hui Lijing was taken aback.
It was the first time in her life that she was called a shorty.
Still with a contemptuous tone.
You know, she is called Mrs. Hachichi!
Subconsciously, Hui Lijing wanted to refute.
Just looking at Jason, who is 2 meters +, Hui Lijing, who is facing the reality, is a little bit ignorant.
Jason is really tall.
It's also true... fierce and evil.
"how is he?"
Jason asked.
"It's a flesh wound."
"The attacker didn't really want to kill Urashima, but just kept making him wounds, making him feel pain, giving him the greatest psychological pressure, and then driving him here."
Jason glanced at Hui Lijing in surprise.
It was hard for him to think that Hui Lijing could have such power of observation.
"You underestimate people!"
"I've been hunting too!"
"Let the hounds chase the rabbit, not only for the rabbit in your eyes, but also for the one in the nest!"
Hui Lijing raised her head and said it as a matter of course.
Then, the female boss stood there, continuing to speak impassionedly.
"But who would have thought that the barking of the hounds would not only startle the rabbits in the 'rabbit's nest', but also wake up the sleeping tiger. Now is the time for us to attack!"
With that said, Hui Lijing was about to act.
But he was held down by Jason.
The wide palm pressed on the shoulder, making Hui Lijing unable to move.
"What are you going to do?"
"Go to Tongshou Temple!"
Facing Jason's question, Hui Lijing said directly.
"Don't you need to ask more questions?"
"Ask what?"
"Urashima is already in a coma. We save lives like fire... Hey, when did you wake up, Urashima?"
Hui Lijing was interrupted by a cough in the middle of her speech.
"Just now."
"Thanks."
The young man replied, and then solemnly thanked Hui Lijing.
Then, the young man looked at Jason.
"Please save Senior Ryosuke!"
As he spoke, the young man knelt down in front of Jason.
…
Time passed by every minute and every second.
As the half-hour appointment with Ryosuke-senpai got closer, Urashima couldn't help becoming nervous.
This is not his first mission.
Although he was very young, he was assigned to the police station after graduating from university, and he already had two years of police experience.
Although he was called a rookie by Ryosuke.
But it is much better than when he just graduated, especially after he was qualified to appear on the stage a month ago and studied with Ryosuke, Urashima thought he was growing rapidly.
But the nervousness now told him that he was still far away.
Unable to bear it, he raised his hand and tugged at the neckline.
Urashima fixed his eyes on the gate of Tongshou Temple.
28 points.
29 points.
30 points.
When the agreed half hour came, Urashima picked up the police radio on the car without hesitation, and was about to contact the police station.
But just as he picked up the police radio's telegraph—
Whoosh!
A gust of wind passed by his ears.
The cord of the telephone in my hand was cut.
Not only the wire of the intercom, but also a gash on his cheek.
It was like being cut by a knife.
But there was nothing in front of his eyes.
Not to mention knives.
besides!
wind!
The windows of the car are all closed, where does the wind come from
Urashima was still thinking, when the wind came to his ears again.
Whoosh whoosh!
Then there is the pain.
His arms and shoulders were repeatedly pierced by invisible sharp blades, and blood flowed out in a puff.
Before he could scream, a huge force hit him.
boom!
Urashima rolled out of the car and fell to the ground.
Then, it was like someone was kicking him.
Urashima felt a force appearing in his waist and abdomen.
boom!
There was another muffled sound, and Urashima rolled several times, while a thin voice came from his ear—
"Ryosuke is in our hands!"
"If you want him to live, let Jason come to Tongshou Temple!"
"remember!"
"Just Jason!"
"If anyone else..."
"You just wait to collect Ryosuke's body!"
The sound came and went quickly.
When Urashima got up from the ground, he couldn't see anything.
Although at first, he didn't see anything.
"You didn't see the person who attacked you from the beginning to the end?"
Hui Lijing looked at Urashima in surprise.
Faced with this surprise, Urashima felt very ashamed.
He looked down and shook his head.
Then, he said with certainty.
"No."
"He seemed invisible."
Hearing such words, Hui Lijing scoffed.
"Where are there invisible people in the world, even if there are, they are just some skills we don't know!"
"Let me tell you, the next time you bring a bag of lime, give him a pre-emptive slap."
"But I'm a policeman."
"Can't the police carry lime?"
Facing Hui Lijing's rhetorical question, Urashima was speechless.
Lime is not something to be cracked down on, and you don't need to register to buy it.
Easier than buying a kitchen knife.
And, it seems to work pretty well.
How about... buy some self-defense
Urashima was inexplicably moved.
Jason looked at Urashima lost in thought.
"Let me go by name."
"I can't wait more than I imagined!"
"Is it because of time, or because of..."
Jason almost instinctively thought of the contents of his 'own' notebook.
He will never forget that he has traveled across the ocean to come here.
Not a native born and bred local.
Moreover, the reason why he came here was also to avoid the 'chasing and killing' and seek the 'truth'.
Is the 'truth' related to everything in front of you
Did the 'chasing' really stop
seem…
The planner in front of him knew a little more than he imagined.
Thinking of this, Jason didn't stay any longer.
He turned and walked to his desk, took out the mask and machete from the cabinet, put them into the backpack beside him, and walked straight to the gate.
Hui Lijing, who was standing quietly at the same place and watching Jason thinking, shouted immediately after seeing Jason's action.
"Wait for me!"
After shouting, the whole person chased after him.
"I am coming too!"
Saying so, Urashima stood up.
But as soon as he stood up, the pain in his waist and abdomen made him fall down on the sofa again.
After waiting for a long time, Urashima came back to his senses.
By the time he stood up again and walked out, the figures of Jason and Hui Lijing had long since disappeared.
Standing there in a daze, the young man couldn't help but sighed.
"Are you lamenting that you are useless?"
Boss Rock walked up the stairs with a lunch box.
"It's okay, you just feel like a waste now, wait until a few years later..."
"What about the next few years?"
Urashima looked at the old man in front of him, he expected the old man to use words to motivate him.
"You'll get used to it after a few years."
The old man spoke naturally, and handed the lunch box to the young man very naturally.
"Taste my craft."
After speaking, he handed the lunch box to the young man.
"Thanks."
The young man who was stunned by Boss Rock's poisonous chicken soup said in a daze, and then raised his head to realize that Boss Rock was looking into the distance.
There, the last rays of the setting sun are about to fade.
At this moment, dusk ends.
"God, it's getting dark, don't run around."
"Be obedient and wait for Jason and Hui Lijing to come back."
Boss Rock pushed the young man back into the room as he spoke.
Then, the whole person quickly rushed back into the shop and locked the door.
And at this moment, the street horn sounded—
The sky is red in the evening glow.
The sun went down, and everyone went home hand in hand.
When the kids come home, the birds will dream.
A bright moon rises in the sky, and the stars twinkle.
…
In the crisp voice.
One after another, bright or dark shadows began to appear.
They are bathed in the bloody sunset.
Wanton laughter.
But in the eyes of ordinary people, it is just wind.
The wind of the night.
cool with...
chill.
