Chapter 10: The Powerless Rentaro
After an unpleasant meeting, Rentaro returned to school.
Of course, he didn't go to class, but to pick up Yeonzhu from school and go home, although she didn't have to pick it up herself, she wouldn't lose it, but the thought of making a lot of noise when she went back, Rentaro gave up the idea of going back alone.
On the way, Rentaro noticed a human wall built across the road. As soon as Rentaro was puzzled, there was a roar like a roar from the other side, and there was a murderous aura similar to that emitted by the onlookers.
Although the reason is not clear, the disgusting premonition makes Rentaro stay in place.
Rentaro, who has ordinary motor nerves and marksmanship, has been able to survive as a police officer to this day because of his precise intuition. Intuition told Rentaro to get out of here quickly.
"Yanzhu, let's take a detour and go back in the opposite direction-"
"-Catch that guy!"
There was a scream like a mournful scream, and almost at the same time, a young girl broke through the wall and rushed out. She holds a supermarket shopping basket full of food in her hands. The trademark on the basket belongs to a large company, and Rentaro used to go there to spend money.
When the girl saw Yeonzhu and Rentaro blocking the way, she was so frightened that she stopped. Rentaro also seemed to freeze in place, unable to move. The outfit on the other side is a belted denim skirt and a matching white tunic top. It's just that it's the same as her dark face, which hasn't been cleaned for an unknown amount of time, and there are patches everywhere. I'm afraid these clothes were stolen like the food she held in her arms.
At a glance, it is clear that she is a child living in the "outer zone". In addition, the eyes that reflected Rentaro and Yanzhu were still deep burgundy. She is a cursed child, just like Yeon-joo.
Countless hands reached out from behind their backs, interrupting their long mutual glare. The adult grabbed the girl by the back with his hand and rudely pushed her down, so that even Rentaro could clearly hear the terrible sound of bones grinding. The fruits and vegetables that fell out of the basket rolled to Rentaro's feet.
"Let go of me!"
The girl's face was pressed against the asphalt, and her upright face was distorted, and she opened her teeth and claws like a wild tiger. However, no one in the audience sympathized with her at all.
"Thieves, you are garbage in the Tokyo area!" "Well done! This damn protosagular. "Don't scream, murderer." "If you 'red eyes' hadn't killed all my relatives in the first place" "'Red Oni' go die!" ”
Rentaro walked over and patted someone on the shoulder, "Hey." What's wrong with that guy?"
"What's the matter, this little ghost stole something, and the guard just called out to her, and she started beating the other party half to death!"
Rentaro looked at Yeonzhu's face, and she was trembling with a blue face.
At this time, the unknown girl also looked at Yanzhu. For some reason, the girl stretched out her hand to Yanzhu that was still free and asked for help.
Rentaro quickly waved her hand away and glared at the girl.
Stop, don't pull Yanzhu in.
The girl saw Rentaro's expression and clearly showed a frightened reaction.
"What are you doing here?"
At this moment, the officers pushed the audience away in order to clean up the aftermath. It was a pair of skinny four-eyed field chickens and burly flat-headed men.
This situation of collective lynching can finally be brought to rest. Rentaro couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the bespectacled officer glanced at the crowd and the girl who had been subdued a few times, as if he understood the whole situation, and then said indifferently, "Ah. "Yes.
The officer forced the girl to get up, and before she could get clear from the crowd around her, he handcuffed her.
The man in glasses ignored the stunned Rentaro, and after saluting and thanking the representatives of the crowd, he pushed the girl into the police car and left. Was the officer really sure what crime the girl had committed?
After the girl was taken away, the audience had words in their mouths and dispersed in groups.
All of this happened in a very short period of time. Only Rentaro and Yeonzhu were left at the scene.
No way. For this kind of thing. I can't do it at all.
Feeling guilty in his heart, Rentaro was about to take Yeonzhu's hand and go home, but when he looked at her sideways, he was startled by her. Because Yanzhu clenched her fists. glared at Rentaro fiercely:
"Why didn't Rentaro save that girl just now!"
Yeon-zhu's eyes turned pale red, and Rentaro was overwhelmed by her momentum. The crowd that had gradually dispersed also turned back to look puzzled.
"It's none of your business." Rentaro held back the wavering in his heart and yelled at those people.
He grabbed Yanzhu's hand and walked to the alley between the buildings. An unappetizing stench coming from the exhaust pipe.
"I can't help it. Yanzhu. In that state, if even you are exposed, you will definitely be lynched. ”
"But thou wilt wave thy hand for help!"
"I'm not omnipotent! And that guy did something wrong! No matter how bad the living conditions in the outer areas are, you can't steal anything! ”
Rentaro couldn't help but start preaching. Even if he is clear. This kind of answer only adds fuel to Yanzhu's anger.
Yanzhu shook her head vigorously: "That's just an excuse!" If Rentaro wants to help her, there must be a way. Rentaro is a righteous partner, and there is nothing Rentaro can't do! ”
"Don't push childish fantasies onto me. I can't do anything, I can't do anything. ”
Lotus Taro was halfway through his speech and suddenly came back to his senses. Yeon-joo was crying with a whimper. Rentaro reached out to her shoulder, but she took a step back.
"Uh, Yanzhu, do you know that girl?"
Rentaro wasn't sure about it. As a result, Yanzhu really cried and nodded: "When people used to live in the outer districts, I saw her several times. Although she hadn't spoken, the girl seemed to remember people. ”
"yes, no, but I just waved her away, just because of the tense atmosphere at the time, I didn't think deeply"
Rentaro was no longer able to look into Yeonzhu's eyes and speak. His conscience condemned himself. It didn't take long for him to make up his mind.
"Yanzhu, can you go home alone?"
"Huh?"
By the time Rentaro came back to his senses, his legs had already moved on his own.
He rushed out of the alley and looked left and right, and found a teenager riding a light motorcycle waiting for a traffic light. Rentaro patted him on the shoulder and asked him to turn around, and without saying a word, he stuffed the police license in front of the young man: "I'm a police officer." There are gastrates in this area, and I'm going to requisition your car. ”
"Hey, hey, wait a minute, you're suddenly talking nonsense."
"Judging by your height, you should be a middle school student. You don't want to make a big deal out of it, do you? ”
Rentaro looked at the frightened teenager to get his permission, and then rudely snatched his car. The car with the low engine whistle turned 180 degrees and turned around in the direction that the police car had just driven away.
Not only did Rentaro not wear a hard hat, but he also ignored other traffic laws. In fact, even if you are stopped, it is convenient and understandable to show your police license and tell the reason for the incident, but it will waste too much time.
Rentaro crosses dangerously between vehicles, and a tension that has nothing to do with the danger of a car accident makes his heart beat violently.
Why did the police officer take the girl away without asking her or the victim just now? What does such an unspecified simplification mean?
Besides, the direction of Rentaro's driving now is not even a large police station, and there is not even a small police station. If you continue like this, you will only get closer to the outer zone.
Rentaro prays to the god that he doesn't believe in at all. Let's hope he's just worrying about it.
As he thought about this, the seemingly small megalithic monument in the distance continued to expand. Damaged and abandoned buildings can be seen everywhere in the vicinity. This is the dark side of the outlying area, the bustling Tokyo area.
Rentaro originally thought that the police car would go directly to Guò, but he found a stopped police car next to the twisted electric tower that broke off at the waist.
Rentaro slowly pressed the brakes about 30 meters away to avoid making a loud noise. He parked the light locomotive next to the ruins of what had presumably been a gas station and approached cautiously on foot.
At this time, Rentaro didn't understand why he was sneaking around here, but Rentaro trusted his instincts more than doubts.
He walked around the abandoned building nearby and approached the police car. Halfway down the road, only steel was left on the first floor of a building, and the cement inside was peeling off, and the wallpaper and pipelines were hanging down like a haunted house. After touching it a few times with his hand, the plaster-like things peeled off. No one will believe that this place has only been abandoned for a short decade,
The neighborhood was silent, and there was no one in sight.
Rentaro bends down to approach the police car and peek inside, and sure enough, the girl and the police officer are not in the car. Rentaro felt a little helpless at the secretly relieved himself, and at the same time looked at the power tower facility, this time heading in that direction.
As he crossed the damaged iron railing, he was caught leaning against a nearby wall by a cold noise.
Rentaro slowly poked his head out of the corner, and the skinny four-eyed field chicken and the flat-headed officer stood with their backs to him. Not far away is a girl with her back against an iron railing.
The girl seemed to have come to her senses, and the uneasiness of not knowing what would happen made her face pale and tremble.
The two police officers with their backs to him remained silent, and the sinister atmosphere of the scene made Rentaro hold his breath.
Just as Rentaro was thinking about what would happen next, a gunshot suddenly rang out.
Blood erupted from the head of the girl standing not far away. The girl fell to her knees and slowly reached out to touch her head, looking at the blood spurting from the wound, as if trying to make sense of what had just happened.
Then the bullets rained down, making several holes in the girl's abdomen, chest, and limbs. The girl's body felt as if she had been electrocuted, and she leaned back violently and hit the iron railing behind her.
"Damn, it's still alive!"
As the shaved four-eyed pheasant approached, he fired three rounds at the head. The girl fell forward, a large amount of blood spreading on the ground, and finally did not move.
Rentaro covered his mouth with his hands and swallowed back the scream he was almost about to let out.
After cursing a few times, the officers looked left and right before quickly leaving the scene.
Rentaro walked up to the girl with trembling feet, bent down on his knees and supported the ground with his hands.
Bastard thing - he scolded fiercely in the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, Yang Xi and others, who were attracted by the gunshots, came over (to be continued......
