[Master K] The bad one next door

With the strange sense of satisfaction that he had successfully choked his childhood sweetheart, Maki took the bread from Hatta, who had a sluggish face and smoking head, and tore open the package with a smile.

The lights in the room were turned off, but with the help of the faint light cast through the crack of the door, Shinya could still see Akagi and Harutaro sleeping on the sofa.She bit the bread "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

When she bit the bread, a few strands of hair hung down her fair side face, her black eyes were misty after waking up, and she looked inexplicably cute.The orange-haired boy saw that his face was a little hot, he couldn't help turning his head away, and said in a muffled voice: "There must be someone watching over it, it would be dangerous if they all fell asleep. Anyway, I'm not tired, so I'll just sit here."

Maki paused for a moment, feeling guilty for no reason.She put down the bread and whispered: "Sorry, if I didn't fall asleep casually..."

"It's not your problem."

Hatta interrupted her without hesitation.Meeting Mami's surprised eyes, he scratched his hair through the scarf in some distress, and sighed heavily: "You guy, why do you always like to take everything on yourself?"

"You're a girl, what's wrong with being protected by a man?" He frowned, as if he didn't know what to say, but felt that it wasn't enough, so he could only blushed and searched hard in his mind. What can I say, "Again, what's the matter if you're tired and want to sleep after talking? Why are you so strict with yourself? You're like an idiot!"

Suddenly being scolded by the other party, Mami, who was still immersed in self-reflection, couldn't help being stunned.It wasn't until she sat on the spot and pondered over the orange-haired boy's words in a daze that she realized that she had really been taken good care of by the person in front of her.

For example, at this time, he obviously couldn't speak, but he put her mood in a more important position, racked his brains to enlighten her in an awkward way, and didn't notice that he was the one who had the hardest time.

Such warmth made her eye sockets slightly warm.

"……thanks."

Hearing that Mami was relieved, she smiled and thanked her softly. Hatta, who had been paying close attention to her, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and also smiled: "Hey, hey, you said a few thanks today, do you want to be so polite?"

"Well, sorry."

"..." Hatta stared at her for a long time, turned his head, scratched his head hard, and sighed helplessly, "Forget it." I really can't stand her.

Considering that Akagi and Harataro were still resting, Maya and Hatta didn't make much noise when chatting.After chatting for a while, the two had nothing to say, so they fell silent. In the silent room for a while, only the sound of long breathing and the faint sound of the blood man walking outside the door could be heard.

Mami looked at the half-eaten bread in his hand, and murmured: "Speaking of which, I didn't expect Akagi-kun to actually find something to eat."

Hatta held the back of his head and stared up at the dim ceiling: "Ah, because he found a convenience store."

"...Huh?" Maiya was stunned, "Convenience store? In this place?"

No matter how you think about it, it is impossible to have something like a convenience store with a sense of life in this kind of place.

But after thinking about it carefully, she was relieved.

Hatta said when he explained before that this is a live broadcast game. Since it is a game, it will naturally not force the players to death, otherwise it will not be interesting.And this game is obviously a marathon, except for the ubiquitous dangerous obstacles, the basic living conditions will still be provided, it depends on whether the players can find these resources by themselves.

Thinking of this, Mami suddenly realized something.

——Wait, if it's a live broadcast...

Her heart skipped a beat, she straightened her back immediately, and began to scan around without a trace.

Isn't their every move being watched all the time?

However, after looking around, she didn't find anything related to the camera.No matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary room.In addition to being disappointed, she felt that it was expected.

Also, if the camera can be found so easily, then Qi Mulisa is not Qi Mulisa.

But when he thought of someone staring at him secretly, Zhenya felt uncomfortable.The creepy feeling sent shivers down her spine.She couldn't help but shrink back, staring at her blood-stained shoe toes in a daze, repeating silently in her heart over and over again, forcing herself not to care about the cameras hidden in the dark.

Hatta turned his head, just in time to see the black-haired girl drooping her head in a daze, looking uneasy: "...Maya? What's wrong?"

"No, nothing..." Mami wanted to shake her head subconsciously, but when she shook her head halfway, she suddenly paused, raised her head, and looked at him hesitantly, "That's it, Misaki."

"Ok?"

"Are those other contestants... also sent here?"

"Huh? That's of course—" Hatta was about to nod, but suddenly understood, and suddenly fell silent.

In his impression, nine out of ten of the other contestants were middle school students, not to mention the pair of young girls who looked strange, but the weak rabbit-like girl named Tsunayoshi Sawada Junior high school students seem to have no hope of surviving those bloody people.

Even Miya, who is Butei, is struggling so much, so what about the others?

Hatta turned to look at Harataro on the sofa.The boy seemed to be sleeping restlessly, sweating all over his head, turning over constantly, and muttering in his sleep.

The problem is obvious.

Hatta pursed his lips, turned his head, and saw Shinya staring at Harataro in a daze.The girl's black eyes were covered with a layer of gloom, and the whole person looked very depressed. I don't know if she remembered the scene when Gentaro's mother died.

"...Hey, are you scared?"

"Huh?" Maki came back to her senses and looked at him in surprise, "Why do you ask this?"

Hatta didn't say anything, just looked at her stubbornly.Maya sighed helplessly, thought for a while seriously, and finally gave the answer.

"Well... Actually, I was very scared at first."

"In the beginning?"

"Because I came to this place inexplicably, I didn't know what I was going to face in front of me, so I always felt at a loss. But when I really faced those...blood people," Mami smiled wryly, "I realized that I have always been The only thing to be afraid of is the terror in your heart."

The words were too convoluted, and after Mami finished speaking, he couldn't even regain his senses, let alone the bewildered Hatta.He opened his mouth, and found that he suddenly didn't know how to speak: "Ha...ha?"

"Do you remember, Misaki? What happened two years ago."

Hatta was stunned for a moment, but quickly remembered: "Ah, what station are you talking about..."

"Yes, Kisaragi Station." Mami raised his head and looked at him quietly, "At that time, I saw these monsters in the station."

—Blood man.

As soon as these words came out, the whole room was instantly silent.

Hatta was stunned for a long time before he said dumbfounded: "Hey, hello... are you serious? This kind of thing..."

"No matter how you think about it, it's impossible, right? That's what I thought at first." Mami lowered her head, staring at the tip of her shoe in a daze, "I can't imagine such a coincidence happening to me, maybe Kisaragi station and The Qiuben Group is also connected... However, I have no chance to think through these things at all. In the end, even if I don't accept it, I can only accept it."

After hearing her finish, Hatta was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "So what?"

"……Eh?"

"Although it sounds weird, and I don't understand it very well, so what?" The orange-haired boy snorted coldly with disdain, "Whether it's Kisaragi Station, blood man, or Qiuben Group. Block these from our eyes It would be good if the guy in the house beats him all the way."

The young man's self-confidence to the point of arrogance left Mami speechless.

"However, if you really can't hold on..." Hatta grinned, scratched his head, raised his head, and stared at her seriously with amber eyes.

"—then hide behind me."

Mami was stunned.

Seeing her sluggish face, Hatta seemed to be belatedly aware of what he had said, so he blushed immediately and turned his head away in embarrassment.

"...You, look, I'm a boy. Girls like you shouldn't be too pushy. Cry when you should cry and laugh when you should cry. Didn't you say that tears are your women's privilege...F-Furthermore Now, everyone in Barbara will not leave us alone, Brother Zun will definitely lead everyone to rescue us! Let me tell you, Brother Zun is very powerful! You just wait to take a good look at our Super Strong Barbara Let's fight!"

Seeing the orange-haired boy go from stammering shyly to talking about the red king with passion, Maki couldn't help laughing.

She looked at the boy's flushed cheeks and nodded heavily.

"Well, I'll wait!"

……

By the time the group of four rested and were ready to go on the road, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

During the period, Hatta was forced to sleep by Shinya with the reason: "Didn't you want me to stand behind you? If the person standing in front of me is trapped to death in the middle of the battle, I don't have the confidence to survive alone!" After waking up, he was refreshed, picked up a baseball bat and shouted to go out for a fight.Seeing Akagi and Harataro happily clapping their hands in response, Maki felt that his teammates were also really big-hearted, and that they must be on the hook to survive until now.

After some discussion, the four decided that Hatta and Akagi would explore according to the map translated by Maya, while Maya and Harataro would stay in the room and wait.

Zhenya knew that his body hadn't recovered yet, and following up would only slow him down, so he didn't force himself to go up.Coupled with the fact that Yuantaro cannot be left here alone, it is only natural for her to stay.

After the two left, Maki sat down on the sofa.She took out the box containing the parts of the sniper rifle from her bag, opened the lid, quickly counted it, and began to assemble it skillfully.After she finished assembling, she pulled the bolt on the gun with a "click", squinted one eye and aimed at a certain point on the wall with the butt of the gun on her shoulders, and put down the gun with satisfaction when she found that there was no malfunction.

After she put the gun down, she turned her head and found that Yuan Taro was staring at her without blinking.

...Ah, it seems that the children saw a very bad scene.

But thinking about it carefully, I have seen scenes that are more bloody than this before, and assembling a gun is nothing at all, so Maiya is not in vain.She touched her nose and looked back with a smile: "What's the matter, Harutaro?"

Yuan Taro stared at her blankly for a while, then lowered his head for a long time, and said flatly, "It's nothing."

Mami watched him lower his head and touch his feet, feeling a little dazed.

I always think this kid is a bit weird.Is it her illusion?

...Sure enough, I was scared stupid after watching too many scary scenes.

Mami felt guilty for a moment.She looked helplessly at the silent Harutaro, and finally could only look away helplessly, curled up on the sofa, and began to think about things.

After quieting down, the first thing that came to mind were those missing cameras.

Although it is not certain whether there is really a so-called camera in this room, according to Hatta and the others, this camera should really exist.I don't know if it is a psychological reason, since the existence of the camera was exposed, she has always felt that there is something watching her, like a light on her back.

She closes her eyes.In the darkness, that feeling became clearer.

At this time...

—Of course it is impossible to leave it alone!

Mami stood up abruptly, causing Harataro who was at the side to tremble in shock, staring at her with wide eyes.Maki smiled apologetically at him, and started wandering around the small room.

As she expected, there was no trace of a camera on the ceiling, and after she checked the wall carefully, she also confirmed that there was no room for a camera to be hidden on the wall.So she put her gaze on the objects in the room.

The layout of this room is very simple: a carpet, a coffee table, a sofa, and a cabinet against the wall in the corner.

Maki first squatted on the ground, lifted the carpet to scan around, and shook the carpet again, but found nothing.Apparently the camera isn't here.The same is true for coffee tables, sofas, and cabinets afterwards.After searching around and still finding nothing, Maki sat back on the sofa again, a little discouraged.

Could it be that she was wrong and there was no camera at all?

This thought only popped up for a moment, and then she snuffed it out.

Not to mention that it is impossible for Misaki and the others to fool themselves about this kind of thing, and her feeling is not wrong either.Since she felt that someone was watching her, it was true in all likelihood.

Since becoming Butei, Shinya has a mysterious confidence in her feelings.

——So, what went wrong?

Maki couldn't help biting her nails, while Harataro next to her looked at her inexplicably, obviously not understanding what this big sister was messing with from the very beginning.Suddenly, something flashed in Zhenya's mind, and the action of biting his nails suddenly stopped.

Hatta and the others said that this is a live broadcast.If it is a live broadcast, there must be an angle that can capture the whole audience to shoot these contestants.

So, where exactly is this angle...?

Mami put down her hands, raised her head, and slowly looked not far away.

At the end of the line of sight is the cabinet in the corner.

It stands in the corner of the room with an extremely inconspicuous posture, but at the same time embraces the entire room from the perspective of an observer.

Something seemed to light up in my mind.Maki pursed her lips, jumped off the sofa, and walked towards the cabinet.The closer she got, the stronger that intuitive feeling became, and it was so oppressive that it was difficult for her to breathe.As she approached, she opened the cabinet, fumbled earnestly at first in the empty compartment, then began to search between the wood and the cabinet walls.

Then, her fingertips touched something cold and hard.

Mami took a breath and slowly pulled it out.The first thing that appeared was a small wire, and after a while, a small object the size of a pinky finger appeared in the field of vision.

She had seen this thing when she was attending a class in the intelligence department.

- Pinhole camera.

The front lens of the camera reflected the light under the light, and the sight of peeping at her was fully exposed at this moment.Mami pinched it in the palm of her hand, lowered her head blankly, not knowing how to react for a moment.

At this moment, a boy's immature voice suddenly came from behind.Without her noticing, Asakami Harataro's voice was calm and self-possessed with the wetness of his breath sprayed on the back of his neck.

——"Sister Maki, what are you looking at?"
