[Master K] The bad one next door

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sound of the door banging became more and more intense, and the thin door panel cracked little by little from the edge, so fragile that it seemed that it would fall off the frame in a second.Just when Mami closed her eyes and almost gave up hope, there was a "ping, ping, ping, ping, ping" sound above her head.

The sound was extremely weak amidst the noise of the blood man slamming on the door vigorously, but it was still keenly captured by Maki.She raised her head abruptly, staring at the ceiling in surprise.Then, she saw a head poking out of the vent that was opened at some unknown time.

silver hair.blue eyes.

Hirobe Shinichi leaned out and waved at her anxiously: "Yazawa-chan! Come up quickly!"

"... Hirobe-kun?"

Seeing the person coming, Maki couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise: "Why did you also..."

"Now is not the time to talk about this!" The boy interrupted her without any explanation, "Those monsters are about to come in!"

Mami was stunned for a moment, as if he had just realized his current situation.She quickly turned to look at the door.The door panel trembled violently, as if someone outside the door would break in the next second.

The surprise of seeing friends was instantly diluted by reality.Mami tried her best to stand on tiptoe, and tried to reach out to Hirobe, but there was still some distance from his fingertips: "No, I can't reach it! Besides, you can't use your strength at all!"

The silver-haired boy frowned: "Damn it...can you see if there is anything on the side?"

Miya looked around.This room is somewhat similar to the first room, almost the same coffee table and sofa show a homely atmosphere.The coffee table was too heavy, and it was far away from the air vent. It was too strenuous for her who was exhausted at this time, and it took too much time to move it, let alone the sofa.She scanned the entire room, and finally fixed her gaze on the corner of the room.

In the previous room, a cabinet was placed in this corner.

But this room is a pair of wooden desks and chairs.The desk looks relatively new, just like the school desks.

Mami's eyes lit up, and she hurried over, dragging the desk under the vent.At this time, the blood man outside the door had already fallen into a frenzied attack state. Amid the constant "bang bang bang" banging on the door, the doorknobs of the door began to fall off gradually.

Hirobe was anxious: "Hurry up, Yazawa-chan! The door is going to be overwhelmed!"

"I know!" Mami yelled.Gritting her teeth, she propped herself up on the table and climbed onto the table.When she stood on the table and stretched out her hand towards Hirobe, Hirobe grabbed her hand and pulled her up with all his strength.

"—!"

"boom!"

At this time, the door was finally knocked open by the blood man.When the hideous blood crowd rushed into the room stepping on the fragments of the broken door, only the silent room and the desk standing alone in the middle of the room were left in sight.

—no one was there.

……

Dim ventilation ducts.

In the small space, only nervous panting could be heard for a moment.Maya, who got into the air vent at the critical moment, had exhausted all his strength, and could only lie on the ground and pant desperately for a while, his muscles were so weak that he could hardly move.

Hirobe on the opposite side was silent for a while, and took out something with a "click", and the darkness in front of him was suddenly lit up.Maya glanced up feebly, and found that Hirobe was holding the terminal with the flashlight turned on, looking at her with a smile on his pale face illuminated by the light, which seemed weird and inexplicably reassuring.

He put the terminal on the ground and said with a smile, "Let's take a rest for a while?"

"...Well, thank you." Maki nodded lightly, closed her eyes and remained silent for a while, then asked, "Has Hirobe-kun been involved too?"

"Involved?...Ah, depending on the situation, it should be."

Hirobe scratched his head in distress: "I was originally on standby in the car, but suddenly I couldn't reach you. I thought I might be able to connect later, but you haven't heard from me all the time, so I'm going to Mr. Yuanshan and the others helped... But as soon as the radio was connected, I felt a hard hit on the head, and then I came to this damn place. You see, it's still swollen, and it hurts to death. "

The silver-haired boy lowered his head aggrievedly, as if he wanted to show her the injury on his head, but no matter how he looked, he could only see a shiny silver hair.Maki couldn't help laughing: "The light is so dim, I can't see it at all."

"Huh? Really?!"

"Yes, yes." Mami couldn't help but nodded, and suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help frowning, "So, Hirobe-kun also met the blood man, right?"

"Blood people?" Hirobe was taken aback, turned his head halfway before realizing what she was referring to, "Oh, you mean those red-skinned guys. So that's what you called them?"

"Huh? What's Hirobe-kun's name?"

"Hmm..." Hirobe pretended to think seriously for a while, and replied solemnly, "'New generation zombie-like braised variety'."

"……puff!"

Although it sounds like the ingredients in the freezer at first glance, let alone it is quite vivid.

When Mami laughed enough, Hirobe said slowly with his cheeks on his hands: "Well, but I don't have any real experience with them. I'm far behind you, Yazawa-chan.... After all, I'm from the vehicle department. , fighting or something is not my specialty at all.”

"Huh? Then..."

"Since I came here, I have been staying in the ventilation duct, and I have almost explored the terrain of this area." Hirobe said, "Of course, I also heard a little bit."

Mami was taken aback for a moment, seeing that the young man showed a serious expression which was rare, and couldn't help but become serious.Then, she heard Hirobe say: "However, can I ask first, why are you being chased by so many new generation... no, blood people?"

……

After Shinya explained the matter, Hirobe was silent for a long time before letting out a heavy breath, rubbing his head helplessly, and coming to the conclusion: "Yazawa-chan, you really are an idiot."

Maki: "... Misaki has said this many times, please don't emphasize it again?"

"That's right, I won't talk about it. But because a little kid may risk his life with unreliable assumptions... Well, it's really something that an idiot would do." Hirobe nodded seriously, With an expression that thought he was right, "I couldn't be more angry when I heard it, and your Misaki-kun must have been furious too."

He deliberately bit down on the word "your family", and the corners of his eyes slightly raised, as if he was joking.Maki couldn't help but blush: "What is my family, Mr. Hirobe, don't talk nonsense!"

"Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense, don't be angry." Hirobe quickly comforted her, "To be serious, how long ago did you hear the signal from Hatta and the others?"

Maki hesitated for a moment: "It's about 10 minutes from now..."

Hearing this, Hirobe breathed a sigh of relief: "That should still be able to catch up."

"……what?"

The silver-haired boy who had already turned around and crawled forward paused, turned his head, and seriously met her blank eyes. The clear blue eyes seemed obscure under the dim light.

"The power supply will automatically turn off after being turned on for 10 minutes."

He said.

"Go now, you should be able to catch the elevator before the power is turned off."

……

This conclusion, of course, was not told by anyone or where he heard it.

"Yazawa-chan, you guys are actually not the first to turn on the switch."

"Huh? Is there anyone before us?" Maya who was following Hirobe looked surprised, "But we didn't hear the sound of the blood crowd moving at all."

When Maya asked this sentence, the two were crawling forward in the ventilation duct.

Hirobu took the terminal flashlight to light the way forward, and climbed to the front: "No, how should I put it, they didn't make the blood crowd move in a big way at all... They didn't use your method of diverting the tiger away from the mountain...Ah, You have to turn left ahead, remember to follow me, Yazawa-chan."

After turning the corner, he continued.

"That person was a very tall high school student, wearing a black Chinese tunic suit, and seemed to be wearing glasses... I looked through the ventilation panel, but I couldn't see clearly. At that time, he opened the door and walked in. Then nothing When those blood men rushed towards him, he squatted down, put down a bento box, opened the lid, and said in that...well... how should I put it, I can't describe it, "

Hirobe imitated strangely.

"'This is the apology I prepared for the missed appointment of the collective waltz last time, a special rice ball. Please accept it.'"

"...Then, the blood crowd was silent for a while, and automatically made way for him, and just watched him walk over and turn on the power."

Maki: "..." You seem to be making me laugh.

Hirobe glanced at her, seeing her bewildered expression, he couldn't help showing sympathy.

Obviously, if he worked so hard to lure the blood crowd away at the risk of death, but learned that others had subdued these dangerous guys with a simple lunch, this sense of gap would also make him vomit blood deeply.

"Afterwards, I followed them to the lobby on the first floor. There was a signal light next to the elevator, and the signal light was green. Not long after they entered, a pair of twin girls followed in secretly."

Hirobe turned his head and looked ahead, and continued.

"I also saw a brown-haired boy who wanted to drag his companions in, but was threatened by a baby in a suit who pointed a gun at him and said, 'Gang, the future leader of Vengley must rely on strength. Open up a way to survive, instead of picking up other people's leftovers, I ask you to turn on the power yourself, or I will send you to travel to Santuchuan'."

"At that time, I couldn't help but think, damn it, babies these days hang like this, and their painting styles are different from ours. What kind of world is this mixed with fish and dragons! Could it be that this is a juvenile jump?!"

Maki was speechless.

"Well, anyway, I calculated it with the terminal, and found that the signal light of the elevator turned red again at about thirty minutes, so I guess three or ten minutes should be the time when the power supply is effective." Hirobe cleared his throat. , Said, "As for the little baby group, they finally went in. Although I didn't see how they turned on the power, it was obvious that the brown-haired boy was ravaged terribly. Tsk tsk, how pathetic ah."

If he didn't speak in that gloating tone, Shinya would still think that he really pityed that innocent boy.

She sighed amusedly, and suddenly remembered something.

"……when?"

"When? Ah, you mean when they went in." Hirobe tilted his head and thought for a while, "Last night. You may have fallen asleep at that time, so I don't know. What's wrong?"

"No, I'm just..." Maki hesitated for a while, pursed her lips, and said, "I just thought, why didn't you follow Hirobe-kun... that's better than staying here alone, isn't it?"

Hirobe's movements stopped.

After a while, he chuckled: "It's only 'alone' if you really follow up. I haven't even found you yet, so how can I go up alone?"

As he spoke, the silver-haired boy turned his head, his smiling blue eyes looked soft and warm under the flickering white light.

"So, when I saw Yazawa-chan, I suddenly felt: 'Oh, I can finally feel at ease'."

—Meet a terrible person.

Seeing the orange-haired boy who pierced a robot with a stick at the front of the line, Tsunayoshi Sawada shuddered, wanting to cry again without tears.

——Really, super, scary!

He had chatted with this person named Misaki Hatta when he was in the waiting room earlier. Although the other person had a baby face, there was a kind of unruly boy in his eyes.When they met again at this moment, that scorching evil spirit literally rushed towards his face, which frightened him into silence.

Sawada Tsunayoshi couldn't help but slander in his heart.

——I don't know why Reborn insisted on forming a team with them.

10 minutes ago, two couples met on the second floor.For some reason, the Hatta trio, who looked very strong, were extremely depressed, and Reborn, who had been hiding in his backpack, suddenly jumped out and directly invited the three of them to act together.

The young man in the peaked cap was at a loss, the orange-haired boy was silent and depressed, and the boy who responded was the expressionless little boy.This strange reaction made Tsuna wonder what happened to them, but his keen intuition made him realize that it is better not to ask more about some things.

…Otherwise, it might end up like the robot that was brutally stabbed to death.

The white light made Tsuna a little dizzy.He watched the "crackle" of the robot in front of him fall down with lightning, and couldn't help being stunned for a while.

Along the way, under the onslaught of Hatta Misaki and Akagi Shohei, countless robot wreckages lay in the corridor.Now this one is the most ferocious that they have seen so far - machine guns can be ejected from the shoulders at all times, sharp blades are attached to the arms, and the aircraft is mounted on the back. When fighting, the eyes flashed strangely. .It is simply a typical weapon of war.

...But it was still killed in seconds.

The orange-haired boy lowered his head and forcefully pulled the stick out from the robot's chest. The orange hair on the side ears blocked his eyelids, making his expression invisible.After a harsh grinding sound, the stick broke away from the shattered iron sheet, sending out sparks flying everywhere.

The raging killing intent made Gangji tremble, and looked at Reborn again with a bitter face, and whispered: "Reborn, who are they? You should know, right?"

The little baby in the suit peeked out from under the brim of the hat, glanced at him, and said contemptuously: "You don't need to understand this, stupid gang."

Tsuna: "..." Hey!It's too easy to refuse!

He looked up a little depressed and looked forward.After pulling out the stick, the orange-haired boy stood up, swung the stick, turned around to face the robots that kept coming, and continued to walk forward without hesitation, the burning flames on his body flickered fiercely.

Gangji couldn't help being stunned.

He suddenly understood why Hatta Misaki has been fighting so fiercely and non-stop since they met.

——That back view.that flame.

It's almost like venting something.
