Chapter 1 – Icewine, Chiba Tachibana, and The Mechanic

Next Chapter

“。。。” In one room, a young man is operating a computer. What is reflected on the computer screen is a program with an umbrella on the screen.

"Dada, dada." Dexterous fingers tapped on the keyboard, constantly entering information. One data after another appears next to the schematic diagram of the umbrella.

When the keyboard was finally struck hard and saved, the young man let out a sigh of relief and pressed OK.

[Start the deduction, please later, the rest must be checked, should be checked, can be checked items: 44 + 493 + 8012, estimated time: 8 minutes 40 seconds + 2 hours 52 minutes + 1 day 15 hours]

"Ding Dong~" The doorbell of the door behind the young man suddenly rang.

"Huh?" The young man looked at his watch in some surprise, and then reacted. "Oh yes... It's time to pick up the goods. ”

"What's the number?" Opening the door, the young man asked, as he looked at the comer. "Oh, it's you, vodka, I think about it, if you come to get it, it should be...

"Number 9 and number 17." Outside the door, Vodka handed over two number plates. "I always send it as soon as possible, isn't it just to occupy these two numbers for me and my eldest brother? Icewine: You're too forgetful, too. ”

"Well, but then again," Icewine took the number plate, opened the two compartments of the cabinet next to him, and took out two pistols and handed them to the sturdy man. "You tell Gin that the gun is new, that the previous gun is overworn, and that it is difficult to repair it to its original accuracy. Let him use less pistol to expand his ammunition, otherwise the gun will not stay in his hand for long. ”

"You also know the temperament of the eldest brother, after all, the expansion ammunition is powerful, and it can damage the barrel or something... You're still there, after all! Vodka shrugged, took the gun, looked at it a few times, and then looked up again. The grip of this new gun? ”

"It's exactly the same as the last gun, it's a direct copy of me after I made two casting molds in a row, don't worry!" Icewine leaned against the cabinet and smiled. "The last time I changed the gun, I just made the grip and handed it to him, but you weren't there at the time."

"Seriously, you're much better than your master," Vodka complimented. "No wonder you're only 17 years old and have such a skill in firearms, and you can still get a code name."

"False—" Icewine was halfway through his words when he saw Vodka hand him a small wooden box. "It's ——?"

"The drug is the latest research and development." Vodka handed the box to Icewine, pulled his suit open, and showed Icewine the medicine he had prepared for himself in his inner pocket. "The new drug works very quickly after taking it, and the effect is similar to that of a normal heart disease."

"Oh... New drugs? Icewine opened the small box and saw a red and white capsule lying quietly in the wooden box. Do I need to return my old medicines? ”

"You can keep it yourself, after all, it's useless to collect it, in case of any danger, the old medicine may be able to save your life."

"Okay, so I'll go back to work first?" Icewine said as he put the medicine in his underwear pocket.

Vodka did not speak and closed the door. The footsteps quickly faded out the door.

"Yawn—" Icewine yawned suddenly. "Ahh Oh no, in order to model that umbrella, it seems like I haven't slept since six o'clock yesterday morning... Make up for it first... By the way, there are those who haven't taken the gun yet... ”

His gaze swept over the code number marked on the locked drawer in the cabinet. "No. 4 is Kiel's pen gun, No. 7 is Bourbon's pistol, and No. 19 is plum wine's scope...

Icewine left the sniper rifle, pistol, and scope outside the door, and left a note for visitors to come in if they had anything to do, then lay down in the armchair, lowered the backrest, and fell asleep.

—————— Dream (First Perspective Below)

My name is Chiba Tachibana, yes, my surname is Tachibana, and on July 7 last year (July 7, 1993. The timeline of this book is set in early 1994) released in the game Samurai Shodown Tachibana like the characters of Ukyo Tachibana. But it's just a coincidence, and the reason I got this last name has nothing to do with him – it comes from my experience.

My original name was Matsudaira Chiba, and this name was the only property my parents gave me... Yes, I haven't seen my parents since I can remember, and it was my Master (deceased) who raised me and taught me his tricks, so that I was able to inherit his old man's job after Master's death. As for the specific content of the work, it is to repair or replace the guns and other items that are delivered every day. The reason why I changed my surname to Tangerine is because of the rule that the master has always had - skills are only passed on to orphans, and orphans must change their surname to Tangerine to commemorate the ancestor of this machine, Tangerine Wuling.

Relationships are almost non-existent - it can only be said that the relationship with a few people who come to repair tools regularly is better. Hobbies,It's to do your job.,That's to study the mechanics.,For example, the one that's being measured on the computer.。。。

——————

The dream was abruptly cut off, and a piece of cloth was pressed hard against Tachibana Chiba's mouth and nose.

"Hmm!! Well!!! Tachibana struggled desperately with both hands, but she was powerless to get rid of the attacker's hands pressed against the cloth. The feedback of the scratch is also the touch of plastic.

"Die in peace!" In the midst of the struggle, such a sentence reached Chiba's ears. "Scum who works for the organization!"

The scum who works for the organization? Is this a strip? No, my workplace is in the core area of this stronghold, how can there be no warning outside?

The chaotic thoughts eventually disappeared along with the struggling movements.

"Humph!" After testing that Tachibana Chiba had fallen into a coma, the corners of the attacker's mouth outlined a sneer, groped around Tachibana Chiba's body, took out the small wooden box, fed the medicine inside into Tachibana Chiba's mouth, and then poured the water from the water cup next to Tachibana Chiba's mouth into Tachibana Chiba's mouth. (The shallow comatose state has a swallowing response while retaining a portion of consciousness.) The original Kudo Shinichi was also fed in this state, because there was no swallowing reaction in a moderate or above coma. )

"Squeak crunch—" The fax machine next to Chiba Tachibana's seat suddenly began to spit out paper, which fell to the ground under the watchful eye of the attacker.

"Goodbye, frustrated man, your 'experience' will make Osamu Dazai a treasure." (Author: Osamu Dazai, a Japanese novelist who specializes in writing romance themes)

The attacker threw the paper and the small wooden box without the capsule on the ground next to Tachibana, placed the water cup on the table that Tachibana could reach, and then quietly left.

Fifteen minutes later, in the building's fire room.

"Hmm!" A dark shadow wrenched a turntable to shut, and then quietly left.

—————— from nothingness back to reality.

The whole body is bathed in a jacuzzi filled with water, and you can feel the warmth that sweeps through the whole body, and you can feel as if the whole body is being slightly massaged.

The body feels Elysium, and the eyes see the flaming nose. (The eighteenth of the eighteen layers of hell is also the most punishing one.) )

The red of the flames stung Chiha's slightly open eyes. Everywhere in the corner of the eye, the Red Devil, a symbol of destruction, is beating wildly.

Turning his gaze to the ceiling, a spout of water was responding to his gaze indifferently. The spout is connected to the pump, so what should be done in such a time of crisis!

"How could there be no response... It's on fire! Tachibana tried to get up, but felt that the clothes on her body were unusually heavy.

"Uhhh Reluctantly turning over, Qian Yu looked blankly at the clothes on his body - very fat. "What's going on?"

As soon as this sentence was finished, Qian Yu was stunned - the voice was different from before, it was much crisper, and this was because...

What do you think ... Qian Yu shook his head, at this time, it was obvious that escaping from this place full of smoke and flames that could kill him at any time was the point, but - how to escape?

Garbage outlets? It's really hard to think about your own body.

Portal? Just kidding, I'm afraid half of the smoke seeps out of the crack in the door that is reflected in the red light of the flames outside, and opening the door is a dead end.

People will eventually die, or lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai. My life, Hongmao, Taishan? Laughed self-deprecatingly

"Didi Dudong!" The black-screened computer suddenly emitted a pleasant ringtone, which was the finished ringtone of the test of that simulation program on the computer. The inspection of that umbrella is divided into three stages, and theoretically it will sound three times.

If it is the third ring, then I have been in a coma for at least two days, how can I be in a coma here all the time without being detected? What's more, I don't have any hunger.

If it's the first time the bell rings, the computer sets the black screen time to be 15 minutes, and the computer should not be in a black screen state at all.

So, this is the bell after completing the items that should be checked. If you can't get out alive, at least see how hard you can go.

When Qian Yu staggered to his feet, he found that he was still looking up at the computer at a height of about one meter and two??? WTF??? Got smaller yourself? Judging by the sound, it has become a child???

Forget it... I don't want to think about it, even if I was manipulated by Ssalinsky (the character in the 1989 American film "Honey, I Shrunk the Child" directed by Joe Johnston, who turned his two children and the two children next door into a quarter size), the most important thing now is to get out alive.

Dressed in draggy clothes, Chiba paced to the computer step by step, setting the result of the program to be transferred to his own large email address. (Actually, it's tens of megabytes in size.,But at the time it was quite rare.,I'm not sure if there was a public mailbox company that could provide this size of mailbox at that time.,Because 01 in my country's 163 can only provide more than 200 trillion paid mailboxes.,So here is set as the mailbox system opened by the organization) After setting,Qian Yu glanced at the flames that spread slowly but obviously couldn't stop the momentum.,Take off the coat on your body.,Leaving only underwear.,Came to the garbage mouth.。

"Hmm... Feeling the taste, Chiba pursed her lips. "Fortunately, most of the lunch boxes that I usually throw away are clean lunch boxes, so there is no taste...

Holding her back and feet against the garbage pipe, Chiba slowly slid down and soon came to the garbage outlet.

The sound of the siren restrained Chiha's desire to go out. If it catches fire, it must attract firefighters, but what's the matter with this siren? The police? Is the target your organization?

After repeatedly confirming that there should be no police next to the garbage exit, Chiba sneaks out of the building where she works and escapes through the alley.
