Chapter 53: The Headless Horseman

(Thank you for your tips and support)

Eleven o'clock in the evening

Most of the shops on the 60th-floor avenue of Ikebukuro have closed their doors in the middle of the night, but the places for drinking and having fun have taken the opportunity to occupy this street, and the atmosphere of the night makes the world seem to be turned upside down, creating a completely different atmosphere from the daytime. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

However, the "hybrid" aspect has not changed. Some people choose to spend the night in a comic shop because it is cheaper than a hotel, and they are too lazy to catch the last train; On the road near the station, there are Kara0k clerks running around to solicit customers, and when they see students acting in a group or people in the public who seem to be holding an orientation party, they are nervous; An office worker who has just finished drinking and is drunkenly preparing to go home; Young people and foreigners who plan to play all-night...... Overall, although not as loud as during the day, there are still some crowds in the streets at night.

However, in one section of the street, thousands of people gathered strangely...... At first glance, it doesn't look like the group has come to party at all. Everyone was dressed in a different costume and didn't pose in any position, just standing in their preferred position, or with a group of companions with a similar atmosphere.

Some of them were office workers, some were high school girls in uniforms, some were college students with little character, some were foreigners, some looked like gangsters, and some were housewives...... Although there seem to be more people of the younger generation inside, in the eyes of onlookers, they will only think that there are so many people on the road today.

Even at the outermost end, the most striking thing is a tall blonde man in a bartender suit and an even taller black man, Shizuo Heiwajima and Simon.

"What is life? What do people live for? Somebody asked me that, so I beat him to the point where he stepped into the coffin...... If these questions come from the mouth of a high school girl who loves to pretend to be a poet, it doesn't matter, but a guy who is over 20 years old and wanted to mess around, but ran away because he hates chores, this is already a crime, right? Shizuo Hirashima leaned against a lamppost and complained to Simon today, not knowing where he had beaten people into the hospital.

"That's it!"

"No, it's your freedom to think about the meaning of your life, and I'm not against it. But what about asking others about your own life? So, when his pupils were dilating, I said to him, 'This is your life, you should live and die.'" But when I thought that the other person was the store manager, I felt that I was still a little too impulsive......"

"That's it!"

“…… I said, Simon, you're not listening to what I'm saying, are you? ”

"That's it!"

"Simon, you guy!" Shizuo Heiwajima let out a roar, as if he was about to pull up the lamppost and smash it at his friend.

But

"Yo~~ Xiao Jing, I haven't seen you for so many days, I'm still very energetic~~" The sudden interjection interrupted Shizuo's atrocity.

"Ahh No, it's just 'almost diverting the target of the atrocity', and interjecting when Shizuo Heiwajima is angry is a high-risk matter...... Fortunately, more than a dozen people came at once, and Ikebukuro was the strongest enough to pull them all away, "Cut, it's you...... Also, don't call me 'Xiao Jing'. ”

"Don't care, you can also change my nickname if you like, just call me 'White Hair' like this part-head." Unlike Shizuo, Leeds is not overly obsessed with names.

"Hmph, I'm not that bored." It seems that he is still dissatisfied, but after this 'equal treatment' was said, the anger in Jing Xiong's heart still dropped.

A lot of the time what makes people annoying is not the thing itself, but one-sided bullying, [you punch me, I punch you] is nothing.

"There are so many new faces~~" Shizuo's daily complaints came to an end for the time being, and Simon advertised the shop he worked for in awkward Japanese, "My friend Liz, please be sure to take your friends to Lucia Sushi Restaurant, delicious and healthy~!" ”

"Cheap?"

"no~~ If you discount it casually, I will become the seaweed of the Russian mainland~" Simon quickly shook his head.

"There was a chance to take them there...... However, don't be so dedicated after work, you can't stand it. "If it were known about Simon's relationship with his boss, Leeds wouldn't have said that...... It's just that he will never know about this kind of thing for about the rest of his life, who is so bored to listen to other men's stories.

Liz turned his head to look at the crowd, "Speaking of which, what the hell is going on here, why are there so many people gathered?" ”

"Huh? Don't you know? So how did you get here? Shizuo wondered.

"Ah...... I received an email from an unknown source," Liz turned on the screen of his phone, brought up the email, flipped it over and showed it to the two of them, "someone suddenly invited us to join dollars, and I felt that something was wrong and came over to see - incidentally, I didn't join, and even though the constraints were almost non-existent, I still didn't like having a 'leader' on my head." "As for why did you know to come to this location at this point in time? That's the hint of the Quest System.

"It's really a familiar email~~"

“…… This kind of thinking of yours should be the so-called 'heart of a big man', right? I don't hate it, but I admire it. ”

Simon and Shizuo Shima also became members of Dollars because of this email, of course, at that time, it was just a casual attitude of 'see what it was', after all, this virtual identity can be terminated at any time - they will not know that the person who sent this invitation email to them is Orihara Rinya.

"So ~?" Liz spread her hands and reminded them that they hadn't answered their questions yet.

"Actually, it's the founder of dollars, holding the first rally, we ...... No, the others are just walking over with the idea of seeing how many companions there are, right? Shizuo pushed his sunglasses and looked at the growing crowd," ...... That's a little more than I expected. ”

"Uh, that's it?" The answer is far from what I expected! Liz slumped down, and he was looking forward to something more interesting! “…… I don't know what the point of a meeting of members of a forum for chatting is. ”

"Even if you say so......"

Ordinary dollars members also only use this thing as a forum. To put it bluntly, this is a secondary two disease group, a group of netizens forcibly put a 'dollars member' hat on themselves to pretend to be forced, but the internal members did not realize this secondary two ...... By the way, the members who come to the street to party at night because of this online identity are slightly more seriously ill.

But what's coming here isn't that simple-

(Beep!) Beep beep! )

It is an email notification sound of the cell.

“?” Simon pulled out his phone.

(Buzz...... Buzz Buzz...... )

It is the vibration sound of the email of the cell.

“?” Shizuo also pulled out his mobile phone that he had set to silent.

“…… Ooh? Leeds had already guessed what would happen next, and he looked at the center of the crowd from the outside.

Sure enough, the melody of different notification letters came from everyone in the crowd, and everyone looked at the email on their phones.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Daji ran up behind Shizuo Heiwajima and jumped up and down trying to peek at the contents of the email.

Shizuo frowned, although this girl's behavior is very cute, but because he looks cool and handsome, he has met countless nightclub girls who tease him in Ikebukuro, and he has long been immune to this cute girl...... There is no special treatment, just read out the contents of the email, "-- people who are not looking at the mobile phone mail now are enemies, and there is no need to make a move, just keep an eye on them." ”

"Are you talking about us?" Sun Shangxiang was surprised, like Leeds, they didn't add any dollars.

"No, not us." Zhao Yun looked at some of the people in the crowd - a group of men in suits and leather shoes, who also did not receive the email.

But unlike them, who were on the outskirts, the men in the suit were being stared at in all directions by all the dollars members with their phones in their hands...... After that, it was out of sight, and the crowd blocked the view of Liz and the others.

"Who?" Liz asked.

"Who knows." Shizuo closed his phone and put it back in his pocket.

I've said before that it's a group drama in Ikebukuro, so if you look at it from just one person's point of view, maybe even if an incident is resolved satisfactorily, this is the result - confused.

Of course, the eyes can't kill people, and they can't solve problems.

"There's someone ......on the roof over there," said Mercy Star suddenly.

Yes, the solution to the problem still depends on force, and the perpetrator of force is the Headless Horseman! (To be continued.) )
