The dusk of the Great Kanto Earthquake.

The Japanese say that dusk is the "time of the devil" when yin and yang alternate, and those who walk alone on the wild road will be confused and led astray or even lose their souls. At that time, the shadow was dim, and if the sunset came against the light, people could not see each other clearly, and they would pass by, and they would whisper and ask: Who are you? From this comes the Japanese word for "dusk" (たそがれ).

"Who are you?"

Qin Beiyang couldn't see Guang's face clearly, the light came from the direction of the setting sun, and he applied a layer of golden oil to Guang's skin.

"I am the light."

The sixteen-year-old girl replied in the light of dusk and in the eyes of Beiyang.

The nine-colored man with a red mane made a deer roar on its neck, and its shell and fur were full of dust and dirt, as well as the blood and internal organs of the rescued.

Qin Beiyang, Saga-Hikaru and Haneda Taiki, they walked through the flaming streets of Tokyo, relying on the nine-colored divine power of the town's tomb beasts to rescue the trapped under the ruins all the way. But they are not doctors and have no medicine, so they can only stay on the side of the road and continue to search for the next collapsed house. Some survived, some were left with lifelong disabilities, and some did not survive the first night after the earthquake.

Night falls, and the moon hangs high.

They came to a large clearing, full of Japanese sleeping in the open, unclothed, wailing and hungry. Some people began to hunt wild dogs and wild cats, hunting frogs and fish that could not slip away from the ponds, and people lined up for kilometers just to wait for one rice ball per person per day.

Qin Beiyang didn't want to cause trouble to the victims, so he found a flat ruin, and Jiu Se really came in on as a hunting dog to hunt and kill a few crows and raccoon dogs that had been injured in the earthquake, which the Japanese called "raccoons". Haneda Taiki lit a bonfire out of tattered wooden planks and feasted on the game. Guang's appetite was small, she only ate a few bites, and then gave the crow meat to the nearby victims, but hundreds of people surrounded her and almost ate the little girl as food, but Qin Beiyang rescued her by force.

Nine colors are extremely disgusted with meat, and they disappear in a flash. Qin Beiyang frowned and said, "It's hungry!" ”

Haneda Taiki asked worriedly, "Is it going to eat the dead?" ”

"No, it's going to eat something more terrible than a corpse."

A kilometre away, on Odaiba, where Tokyo Bay has been reclaimed, is a huge petrochemical plant, all of which were reduced to ashes in the earthquake, spilling fuel and toxic waste burning, and black smoke covering the moonlight several times.

Nine colors intrude into this ruin, like a gluttony trapped in the kitchen, feasting on chemical waste. It gulps down at least dozens of tons of waste and excretes it from its anus, but leaves the most poisonous parts in its body.

Qin Beiyang watched the crazy town tomb beast from afar, it was to satisfy the desire of several spirit stones in his body, he became such a monster.

"Brother, don't you think it's scary?" Light blew in his ear, "Four years ago, when we wandered in western Japan with Kuse, Kuseki was not like this! ”

"People will change, and the tomb beasts will also change!" Qin Beiyang looked at the Abi Hell after the earthquake and looked at the burning Tokyo Bay, "This is an era when the sky is falling apart, everything will change!" ”

Since the radioactive spirit stones like these disgusting dirty things, maybe in a hundred years, this country will have even more serious radioactive contamination......

The power grid has long been cut off, and the fires that have not been extinguished all night have lit up the sky as if it were day, burning the hearts of Tokyo's two million survivors.

Nine colors returned, covered in chemical toxins, and it did not dare to approach its owner, but went to roll in the pond and take a bath, trying to eliminate the poisonous stench.

Hikaru Saga finds a gramophone from under the rubble, which turned out to have been a bar. The gramophone was stuck in the triangle under the stairs, almost intact, and a record of "The Marriage of Figaro" was hidden inside.

"Mozart!"

In the end, she is a princess of an aristocratic family, and she has studied classical music since she was a child, and she especially likes this opera composed by Mozart.

Qin Beiyang asked in a low voice, "Do you like it?" ”

"Well, it's a pity that I don't have electricity and can't listen to records."

"Leave it to me!"

He took Jiuse to dig under the rubble and found some scrap copper and iron electrical appliances, including batteries, transformers, rectifiers, and wires. Qin Beiyang tossed for two hours, using the knowledge of electricians he had learned at the Third High School in Kyoto to turn the DC power supply in multiple batteries into alternating current, so as to make the gramophone's record turn......

Figaro's Wedding.

On the first night of the Great Kanto Earthquake, on the shore of Tokyo Bay, where the flames were raging, the victims of the evacuation site miraculously heard the singing of a group of Italians in the night sky.

Start with Figaro's aria from "Don't Be a Lover Again", followed by the aria "Do you know what love is" by the valet Cherubino, and then Rosina's aria "Where to find that wonderful good time......

Qin Beiyang also transformed many amplifiers, erected them on the beams and pillars of the ruined walls, and turned the volume to the highest in front of the sky to ensure that the singing could be transmitted far away. He was half-lying on a broken couch in the ruins, his feet cocked on his back. The small town tomb beast crouched obediently and made the most stylish footpad for the master. Saga Guang also dragged a red sofa over and lay down side by side with Qin Beiyang. Forget the purgatory of the earthquake for a while, leisurely hold the back of your head with your hands, close your eyes and enjoy Mozart's music. Taiki Haneda nibbles on the crow meat on the campfire and hums a duet between Rosina and Suzanne along to the record.

The song is called "Time When the Breeze Blows Gently".

The Japanese victims, who wept through the long night after the earthquake, looked up at the loudspeakers, and suddenly became unusually quiet. All that remains of Tokyo is the crackling sound of the fire, and the female duet in Italian, which seems to be more intoxicating than a requiem.

Qin Beiyang can understand Japanese, German, Russian, Japanese English, and a little French, but he knows nothing about Italian. He didn't understand what the hell were these two Italian girls singing tonight in Tokyo? The only thing he knew was that the song was so wonderful that it would reach the center of the universe as it soared into the starry sky full of dead souls......

He fell asleep.

Hikari jumped off the couch, covered him with a blanket, and kissed his stubble on the cheek.

By daybreak, the battery had long since run out, and "The Marriage of Figaro" was over.
