Chapter 6: The Afternoon of September 1st
"Now, did you hear the electrocardiogram just now?"
"I'm not deaf. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Then should we heed the knowledge and take refuge?"
"Don't. β
"Why?"
"I haven't passed this level yet, so even if the atomic bomb comes down, I won't leave!"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
-----------------------------
-- I found it.
I heard a woman's voice in my ears.
"Huh?"
Aikawa, who had put down the toy gun in his hand, glanced over and saw that the sound was coming from outside the arcade, but that wasn't the point. Although a lot of time has passed, the enthusiasm of the underground shopping mall has not diminished at all. From time to time, the noise and noise among the students passed through the sound of the video game arena and entered Aikawa's ears, and even the presence of famous singers singing outside would not make Aikawa, who had gone completely crazy, leave the place even half a step. But this one is different, the grade is obviously in his twenties, and his voice is as dry as a dead man but mixed with bewitching, with a distinctly foreign accent, presumed to be European, and definitely not normal.
And then what really caught Aikawa's attention was the next sentence-
Hehe...... Hehehe...... Hehehehehehe. Forbidden Book Catalog, Fantasy Killer, Key to the Imaginary Math Zone. Which one should I choose? Can I choose any of them? Hehe, it's really annoying. Too many choices can be nerve-wracking.
The voice was dull and decadent.
- Well, just kill them all anyway.
It became a rough tone even in a tavern in the suburbs.
"Bee-eater, manipulate everyone here to get them out of the underground mall immediately. β
"Okay. The bee-eater, who also sensed that something was wrong, was not in a hurry at all: "But why should I go to such great lengths to help someone who has nothing to do with me? Can you give me a reason? Or is it a sense of mission that I have to protect the weak because I am strong?"
"It's funny to watch those teenagers who are so excited and full of youth suddenly become Alzheimer's. β
"Fit & Styleβ"
Without hesitation, take the remote control out of your bag and press it upward.
After a second's delay, the originally noisy video game arena instantly quieted down, and everyone remained upright and looked ahead. I don't know when the eyes have changed into starry eyes like bee-eaters, and the atmosphere is indescribably weird.
"Okay β That's pretty much it. Go ahead, too. β
"Ha, thanks. β
Aikawa went beyond the playground and looked at the source of the sound and saw that it was an empty wall...... No.
"What kind of disgusting thing is this?"
On the wall, about the height of an average young man's eye, there was a palm-sized piece of brown mud. It looks like chewing gum that someone has spit on the wall.
And in the middle of the mud, buried is a human eyeball.
The eyeballs are like the lens of a camera, constantly moving.
Just as Aikawa was still wondering what this was, there was a snap, and the mud and eyeballs exploded, dissolving into the wall and disappearing without a trace.
In the next moment,
The entire underground mall began to shake violently.
The violent vibration as if it had been hit by a cannonball hit it hit the underground mall again. The center of the attack seemed far away, but the impact spread throughout the ground in an instant.
Countless dusts spilled down from the ceiling.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ Interesting. β
A sarcastic smile appeared on the red contractor's face.
After a few seconds, the red light of the emergency lights lit up, faintly revealing the surrounding outline.
The crowd of people who had been slowly walking towards the exit as if they were participating in evacuation training fell into chaos in an instant. Footsteps like mad cows swept in.
Next, a low, muffled voice sounded.
The guards lowered the partition wall earlier than scheduled.
It is not known whether the partition wall was unusually thick in order to prevent the underground mall from flooding in the event of a flood, or to use the underground mall as an air-raid shelter. These steel gates fall from the ceiling and slowly seal the exit. The second half of the fugitive crowd was cut off by force, and the partition wall touched the floor. The students who were almost crushed to death fell into a frenzy with the students who didn't have time to escape, banging on the heavy steel walls with all their might. Others rushed to the guards who had set up checkpoints at the entrances and exits.
Locked up.
The enemy thinks the students are locked up.
Boom!!, a coin box easily smashed through the partition wall at an unimaginable speed, and the subsequent impact completely shattered the entire partition wall, and the game coins inside collided with each other at a super high speed when the box burst due to the impact force, making an unbelievable loud noise, and the winds blowing away all the students around them who lost their minds, and the dust was crushed by the shock wave and the wind as it rose, and the students who didn't know what happened behind them stayed in place in shock.
For a moment, silence enveloped the audience. Neither the students nor the guards knew what to do. But these are not what Aikawa wants to manage, whether it is to get rid of it because of survival or choose to stay for the time being, it has nothing to do with him, and it is even very boring.
"I just saw Shangjo and a few people hurriedly running out, and it seems that the center of this time is Shangjo again. Haha, let's go and take a look. β
Aikawa, who was excited, grabbed a few popsicles at a shop and walked in the direction of Kamijo. Stairs and elevators are enclosed by partition walls, and the air vents are too small for people to pass through. So as long as you don't go through the exit that was smashed out of the back, you just have to go ahead to find them.
"That being said, it's a big surprise here, really, what idiot made the blueprint?"
Aikawa took a hard bite of the popsicle and said dissatisfied.
Perhaps because the air conditioning system is no longer working, the temperature underground is starting to rise. Under the red light of the emergency lights, the entire underground shopping mall looks like an oven. Although I didn't feel anything, the unhappiness of being buried alive in a huge space kept accumulating in my heart.
"Ah~~!!, really, I'm in a bad mood all of a sudden, I'm so annoying......"
Boom! The entire underground mall shook violently again.
But unlike just now, the impact seems to be very close. At the far end of the dimly lit passageway, there seemed to be a faint sound of gunshot-like explosions, as well as roars and screams.
"Haha, is the big bad finally here! Great, I can't wait!"
The teenager, who had completely left his annoyance behind, laughed and ran towards the depths of the darkness.
------------------------------
On the battlefield filled with gunfire and gunsmoke, Shirley Cromwell walked gracefully.
A stone statue stood in front of her, like a giant shield. The stone statue is shaped like clay by mixing tiles, signboards and pillars in the underground mall, and is nearly four meters high. It was so tall that the head of the statue could only be tilted against the ceiling.
She wields white oil crayons in the air. The lines drawn by Bi turned into commands, instructing the huge stone statue to move forward.
Ahead of Shirley was a group of guards in dark black armor suits. These people piled up tables, sofas, and other objects in a nearby cafΓ© on the passageway to create barricades, poking their heads out from above the barricades and shooting at the stone statues. In order not to create a gap between magazines, groups of three people were used, and when one group was changing magazines, the other groups would shoot, just like Oda Nobunaga's musket team.
(The intensity is passable, but it's not classy.) οΌ
Shirley made such an assessment with great interest.
Due to the narrow passage of the underground mall, the stone statue Ellis blocked the passage entirely, like a moving wall, and not a single bullet could hit Shirley in the back.
Hundreds of bullets hit Alice, but they couldn't do fatal damage. Although Alice's hands and feet were cratred by bullets, she could suck the tiles on nearby walls like magnets to her body, automatically repairing the broken parts.
There was a subtle metallic sound.
A guard who couldn't hold his breath pulled out the safety sheath of the grenade. In order to damage Shirley behind the statue, he tries to throw a grenade through the gap between the statue's feet.
"Alice!"
A moment ago, Shirley raised an oil crayon and swiped it in the air.
The stone statue raised its feet and stepped on the ground, and with a loud bang, the floor of the entire underground street shook like a boat in a huge wave. At this time, the guard was about to throw the grenade out, but he was shocked by such a preemptive sound that the grenade, which had lost its safety sheath, slipped out of his hand and fell to his feet.
Bellow.
Then, there was an explosion.
Blood splattered. This type of grenade did not rely on the power of the explosion, but injured people by fragments, so the barricade was not blown away. Through the barricades, the smell of blood wafted. The man who was lucky enough to pick up a life from the razor-sharp debris storm also jumped outside the barricade in order to escape for his life.
The vast majority of the guards let go of their rifles from the impact of the explosion.
The oil crayon tore through the air as if it were a knife drawing.
A dark shadow appeared above the guards' heads. Ellis raised her arm like a heavy construction machine.
The guards hurriedly pulled out their pistols for preparation, but it was too late.
With such a weak weapon, there is no way to stop the stone statue.
--------------------------
Blocking the giant's arm was a red mass. The guards who opened their eyes thought when they saw what they saw.
Even in the dim field of vision, it was clearly visible, and even when it was facing away, it could feel the oppression over the giant, and the crimson contractor stopped the giant's fallen arm with one hand.
Surprisingly, the guards did not show excessive surprise, nor did they wonder why this person was here, how he was here, how he blocked this arm weighing dozens of tons, and no one had the slightest wonder about this situation. The word strongest was deeply engraved in their bone marrow a year ago.
"Oh, that's cool, this thing. It's much more eye-catching than that eyeball. β
The boy's arrogant voice broke the silence.
"Alice!"
The woman waved the oil crayon, commanding the golem to withdraw his hand.
But Golem didn't move.
"What...... What's the matter, Alice!"
The woman who sensed the strangeness commanded the giant again, but it still had no effect.
"Damn, why would Alice ......"
The female voice is rudely interrupted by a teenager!
"Alice, Alice's noisy man! Want this doll?
Far more violently shaking than before, the entire underground street shook again.
The red contractor slowly lifted the stone giant, and then,
Throw it at each other!
Boom ββββ!!!!
