[Master K] The bad one next door

The store door slammed shut behind her.

The surprise that had not yet fully melted in Zhen Mi's eyes froze in an instant.

She turned around suddenly, stepped forward a few steps, pressed her palm on the glass door, and watched in shock that after a "click", the lights in the hall seemed to be directed by someone, one by one from the far end of the hall. One after another, light and darkness alternated, and the light was cruelly taken away inch by inch.

"click", "click", "click"...

Until the faint little light outside the store also went out, the world fell into darkness again.

Being in the dark again, I can't see anything clearly, I can't touch anything.She stared blankly at the bottomless black mist outside the door, her fingers gradually slipped from the glass door, and fell powerlessly to her side, a cold chill crept up her back.

In an instant, the situation has undergone a qualitative change.

She subconsciously bit her lower lip, staring at the darkness outside the door, not daring to turn her head to look behind her.At that moment just now, her heart almost reached her chest, and now that she recovered, there was only fear left in her heart.

I didn't know when I broke out in a cold sweat. The fabric of the school uniform was tightly stuck to the sweat on the back, making people uncomfortable.

Had her instincts been wrong?This is not a way of life, but a door of death?

Mami stood there for a while.Relieved, she took a deep breath, turned around slowly, stared at the storefront that looked particularly gloomy at this time, and quietly clenched her fists beside her.

no solution anymore.No matter how scared you are, you can only keep going.

She held the terminal in front of her, and walked cautiously towards the direction illuminated by the faint light.Rows of shelves in the store reflected blue cold light in the light of the screen. When passing by a food shelf, she paused, picked up a pack of instant noodles hesitantly, and finally did not dare to try it. .

Gently put the instant noodles back on the shelf, and after a few more steps, she reached the end of the shop.There is a corner ahead, if you go down, it is estimated that you will return to the original place around a row of shelves.She was just about to go back the same way when she suddenly heard a strange sound coming from somewhere.

She froze instantly.

It seemed to be coming from the opposite row of shelves, like the slow sound of something being dragged on the ground, moving towards her along the obstacle.Maki took a few steps back suddenly, and hit a sports goods shelf behind her with a heavy back.Following her movements, the shelf shook violently and then began to tilt, and the neatly placed footballs and basketballs rolled down one after another.

"Clang!"

"boom……"

The silent store was filled with the sound of shelves falling to the ground and the sound of balls falling to the ground and bouncing and rolling around.In the chaotic environment, Maki turned around eagerly, stepped over a basketball rolling towards her feet, and was about to run on the way back and forth, when something suddenly appeared on the side of the shelf a few steps away.

A bloody hand.

She stopped abruptly.

That hand was on the ground, as if a person was crawling on the ground, and then appeared arms, head, shoulders, body... Finally, the whole person slowly climbed out of the shelf, came to the aisle in front of her, lifted Got my head up.

Maki forgot to breathe for a moment.

It was a man covered in blood.

The skin was torn, and the nails on the bloody fingers were missing. There was no hair or scalp, revealing the white bones mixed with pink flesh and blood.The eyeballs that were dangerously hanging in the rotten eye sockets stared straight at her, and the innocent pupils seemed to dance with cold will-o'-the-wisps in the screen light of the terminal.

The two looked at each other for a while.

The next second, the blood man roared, with green saliva flicking from the corner of his mouth, and rushed towards her.

<<<<<

In Hatta Misaki's words, it means that his mother has already taken a stocking attitude towards him.

It's not that I don't care about him, but I know it's useless to care about him, so I just let him go.That's why he can now fight with other people in the HOMRA bar without being caught by his mother's ears and going back to do his homework.

"So you're completely free?"

Chitose, who was punished by Kusanagi for smashing the bar and wiped the floor, looked up at him.

It was rare to enjoy the feeling of being looked up to by others, Hatta couldn't help but raised his chin, and said in a very flat tone: "Forget it, how can a wise and powerful person like me be bound by a mere family rule..."

Chitose stood up directly and stuffed the rag into his hand: "Then please help me wipe the floor."

"……what?"

Hatta, who was stuffed with a rag inexplicably, was stunned for a moment, stood there for a few seconds, and quickly turned dark: "Hey, it is clear that you are the one who was punished, not me? Why should I help you work! "

"Anyway, you're free."

"Are you more free than me?!"

"Do me a favor, you have more experience with this kind of thing than I do."

Chitose's tone was very natural.Hatta couldn't help being stunned.

"What you said seems to make sense..." the orange-haired boy murmured, then reacted suddenly, threw the rag to the ground, and gritted his teeth: "Chitose, what do you mean? Do you want to fight?! Don't think I can't hear you You're laughing at me!"

The more you do to die, the more you will be punished to work—this has almost become a major point of the barbarians' teasing Misaki Hatta.

Chitose was not angry, and leisurely stretched out his paw to pat his messy soft orange hair: "Fighting is fine, as long as you are not afraid of being scolded by Brother Kusanagi later."

"--Hey!"

Barbara started a new day of calm and exciting daily life: fights, parties, and teasing the fried-haired little Hatta.

It was almost evening at this time, and most of the people in Barbaro gathered in the bar one after another, watching the orange-haired boy being teased day after day, and they all gathered together after seeing his face flushed red. belly laugh.

There was a noise in the bar that almost knocked the roof off, one can imagine how the blond young man would break down when he came back from shopping and saw the scene.And the red-haired young man snuggled up on the sofa next to him and the silver-haired girl snuggled up to him cautiously were not in charge, and the boss didn't speak, and this group of people became even more unscrupulous.

——There is only one person who is truly self-conscious.

Fushimi sat in the corner by the bar, fiddling with the terminal in one hand. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Hatta's position with his chin propped up. His eyes were a bit complicated, but he lowered his head to play after just looking at it for a while. The terminal, as if nothing had happened just now.

When he lowered his head, a notification of a missed call suddenly popped up on the screen.

His finger that slid across the screen paused.

On the other side, the bell of Hatta Communication's watch rang.He struggled to save his head from the claws of a group of people, and with his messy orange hair, he turned on his watch.As soon as he saw the name of the person displayed on it, his originally ugly face turned pale green.

Chicheng looked at him inexplicably: "What's wrong? Who called?"

Hatta was silent for a while, then raised his head tremblingly, with a mournful face: "...my mother."

Didn't you mean you don't care about him anymore?Why did you call me at such a time? Hey!

"..."

The barbarians fell into silence for a while.

Akagi looked at him with sympathy, a little tangled whether he should say "sorry" to him.The bell rang persistently for a long time without stopping, Hatta hesitated for a while, and finally connected the phone with a stiff face.

"……Hey?"

Before his weak voice fell completely, Hatta's mother's anxious voice came from the opposite side.

"Misaki, have you seen Maya?"

"Ah?" Hatta was taken aback, for a moment, he didn't know whether he should be glad that his mother didn't find him, or feel sad that she didn't find him for him once in a while.But soon he focused on her words: "You mean Maki? What happened to that guy?"

After hearing his awkward tone, Hatta's mother was furious: "What's 'that guy' not 'that guy', brat, can you be more polite! You can't even communicate well with a girl. , the tone is terrible, it’s a miracle that Shinya hasn’t disliked you for so many years! Let’s see how you can pass on the family line of our Hatta family!”

...well, it kind of rhymes.

The few people on the side heard Hatta's mother's words clearly, and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing when they heard "passing on the family line".Hatta's face darkened in an instant: "So what happened to her?!" After talking for a long time, he missed the point!

Hatta's mother seemed to have just been woken up, and then she complained: "Ah yes, I was going to tell you about this, but you interrupted me so I went astray."

Hatta: "..." Blame him?

"It's like this. Shinya should have come back more than two hours ago, but she hasn't been seen until now." Hatta's mother said, her tone was full of unconcealable worry, "Your Aunt Yazawa is going to hurry up!" I was so anxious, that child Zhen Mi called her, but she didn't hear it for some reason, and now there is no answer... Sigh, Zhen Mi's father is not at home at this time, she can't do anything as a woman ..."

Hatta gradually heard something was wrong.

His mother continued: "I thought you and Zhen Mi usually have a good relationship, so I came to ask if you know where she is, but from your tone, it seems that you don't know about it at all?"

The orange-haired boy suddenly became at a loss.He stared at his watch and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart: "I don't know..."

"Forget it, I should have expected this to be the case." Hatta's mother sighed, "You do your own business first, and I'll ask other people."

Then she hung up the phone.

After the call ended, Hatta stood still, still not recovering from the sudden news.Akagi came over, curious: "Is this 'Mami' the girl I saw in the hospital last time?"

"Who knows what she's doing!" Hatta became irritable inexplicably, "At such a late hour, a girl wandering around outside alone and not coming home is simply courting death!"

The chubby Kamamoto scratched his head, and comforted him with a simple and honest face: "Well, Brother Hatta, you don't have to worry too much, maybe Yazawa just quarreled with her family, and she will go home after she figured it out... "

But I didn't want the orange-haired boy to jump up immediately with a blushing face.

"Ha, ha? Who's worried! I just think that something happened to that guy and it's troublesome for me to help her pack her things! Kamamoto, if you talk nonsense, be careful and I'll beat you up!"

"—Hello, Misaki."

Before he could continue to defend in a hurry, Fushimi interrupted him in a faint voice: "Yazawa should have called you."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Hatta and Kamamoto turned their heads and looked at him in surprise, but saw the black-haired boy looking down at the terminal screen, frowning slightly.

On the screen was a missed call notification displayed as "Yazawa Maya".

"Huh? How is it possible—"

Hearing what he said, Hatta opened the missed call record of the watch in disbelief.As soon as he saw the name of the familiar girl at the top, his voice stopped abruptly.

Akagi leaned over and took a look, then was dumbfounded: "No, no, Fushimi really predicted it..."

The orange-haired boy stopped talking.He stared at the name for a while, took a deep breath, and called back without hesitation.

The white font of "calling" is displayed on the watch, and the Q-version figure of a black-haired girl in the lower right corner sits obediently on the pointer and smiles at him.He held his watch in front of him, clenched his fists, and waited with bated breath.

The bar fell silent for a moment.

"Beep...beep..."
