Chapter 15 Nuclear Explosions
"Your dad is looking for me?" I wondered, "why?"
"It's normal. Because you're the squad leader. Saya Takajo said.
"It's actually the seer who saw me...... "I wondered in my heart, it's the seer of Tsukiko Poison Island in the anime.
"Isn't that weird?" asked Saya Takajo.
"Nope. Just not prepared. I stood up, "Let's go." That's right......"
"This ...... What should I call your father?"
"Huh?" Saya Takajo was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily, "Hey, don't think nonsense, my father just has something to talk to you about!"
...... Actually, you misunderstood, okay......
I thought to myself, rather speechless.
Saya Takashiro opened the door and walked out.
Walking down the carpeted hallway, I was a little nervous because I was going to see the most serious and powerful man in the Apocalypse of the Academy.
Saya Takashiro took me to the third floor, which is a typical Japanese-style room, the kind with tatami mats.
In fact, if it weren't for Saya Takashihiro's reminder, I wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between a door and an ordinary wall.
I slowly pulled open a door.
Inside, two men were sitting facing each other.
One of the men looked at me and stood up: "So, take your leave." ”
"Hmm. Another man said.
The man who stood up turned and walked out of the room.
So I knew that the man left in the room was Saya Takashihiro's father. Soichiro Takajo.
It was a burly man with wolf-like eyes and a pair of thick eyebrows locked between them. The man had a knife next to him.
"Dad. Saya Takashiro shouted. She's obviously a lot more restrained.
The man looked over, first at Saya Takashihiro, and then on my face.
The man stared at me, his gaze sharp, as if he wanted to pierce my head.
"Hello. I forced myself to look him in the eye.
"Orimuya, it's you. The man said, his voice unusually thick. The gleam in his eyes flickered.
"Yes. I replied.
"It's not ordinary. The man said, his eyes not seeing joy or sorrow, "Please be seated." ”
............
Sitting on the tatami mat, I felt uncomfortable, not only in this awkward sitting position, but also in the oppressive aura of Soichiro Takashiro opposite.
"I am the lord of the old bed domain, the commander of the Heavenly Dao Solemn Stream, Soichiro Takashiro. Soichiro Takashiro said, "Orikiya, I remember you." ”
I was stunned.
...... That's impossible!......
"That was four years ago. Soichiro Takashiro said lightly, "A junior high school student involved in a major homicide." I met you once. ”
I'm stunned. Are you going to say I'm actually Shinichi Kudo?
"You're not impressed?" Soichiro Takashiro frowned.
I was about to shake my head when an image flashed through my mind.
I was standing in a large conference room, surrounded by a number of nervous-looking policemen.
I was slightly distracted: "Totally...... Not impressed. ”
...... What is that?......
"Forget it. It's understandable that you don't want to bring it up. Soichiro Takashiro said, "I've heard, you think too many people can be a source of trouble?"
...... He also knows this?......
My heart tightened and I said, "Yes." ”
"Tell me why. Soichiro Takashiro said expressionlessly.
"There's no reason, everyone understands the truth, and you should know better than me about human nature. I said lightly.
Soichiro Takashiro laughed, just like many movie characters, and laughed inexplicably, but I was a little unsure of what he meant.
The laughter stopped. Soichiro Takashiro's face regained that coldness: "So, tell me, what will you do when you see your kind being bitten by monsters, when you see the old people, women and children who have no ability to resist and are about to drown in those monsters?
"Saving people, of course. I said.
"What about after saving people, and then abandon them, because too many people will cause trouble?" Soichiro Takashiro raised his voice.
I shrugged, "I'll talk about that later." ”
"......" Soichiro Takashiro seemed to choke. It took a long time before he said, "You...... This is very irresponsible......"
I smiled lightly: "It's not my turn to be responsible for this kind of thing." I will only be accountable to the members of the squad. And with the strength of our squad, it is difficult to save too many people. So there is basically no need to face this problem at the moment. ”
Soichiro Takashiro was speechless for a moment.
"There are two sides to everything, and I know the pros and cons of having too many people, but I don't have the right way to solve it. I said.
Soichiro Takashiro was keenly aware of what I meant.
"You're not going to stay here for a long time?"
I nodded, "Because the safety of Komuro Takashi and Sanka Seina's families hasn't been confirmed yet." ”
Soichiro Takashiro furrowed his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "What if I ask you to stay and hand in your guns?"
"Mr. Takajo. I also frowned, "I think, you're thinking too much." We don't owe you anything. We have enough food to last a week, we have enough strength to protect ourselves, and we can find a way to get the car back on our own. ”
"You really won't pay?"
Soichiro Takajo's eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of murderous aura. And under the attraction of qi and machine, a wisp of anger also appeared in my eyes. This surprised Soichiro Takashiro very much, and his murderous aura suddenly subsided.
"When the small collective meets the large collective, there are only two endings, annexation and annexation. I don't care about power, but I don't joke with my life. I said lightly.
"You don't have such confidence here?" asked Soichiro Takajo.
I nodded: "Every day here makes me uneasy. ”
Soichiro Takashiro pondered for a moment and waved his hand: "You go back." I see, I'll let you go when your car is fixed. Or now. ”
"Thank you. I stood up and walked to the door.
A voice sounded behind him: "If Saya wants to go with you, then please protect her." ”
I paused and said, "Yes." ”
With that, I reached open the door and walked out.
"That's a good point. ”
I was startled and turned to see Saya Takashiro standing behind me, apparently listening outside the door.
She had a rare smile on her face: "I've never seen anyone say anything about my father." ”
"Okay...... It's a trick. I shrugged and turned to look at the closed door.
I finally relaxed now, and I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
The voice caught the attention of Saya Takashihiro, and she laughed rarely, "You're also afraid of my dad?"
"I'm not afraid, it's just that your dad is very intimidating. "I scratched my head unnaturally.
"Dad, he's been in a high position for many years. Saya Takajo said.
"Indeed, he is worthy of being a man in chief. I laughed, "In every way, it's far better than ordinary people." ”
...... You're really convinced of him?......
Saya Takashiro pursed his lips, and was about to say something, when suddenly the earth shook violently, and the next moment, before I could react, the explosion of the giant thunder class suddenly sounded in my ears, making my ears really buzz.
I was horrified and looked at Saya Takajo, whose face was no better than mine, and she was equally horrified.
"What's going on?" someone shouted. It seems to be the voice of Takashi Komuro.
Saya Takajo felt uneasy, and she ran downstairs: "Go and have a look!"
I also felt uncomfortable in my heart, so I went downstairs behind Saya Takashiro and met Takashi Komuro and others at the stairs, and everyone walked out of the building together.
Many people had already gathered outside, but no one spoke. And when we came to the clearing and looked at the sky, our hearts froze at that moment, and a bone-chilling cold rushed up our backbones.
In the far sky, a mushroom cloud of black mixed red slowly stretched upward.
Opening his eyes, Xiao Song saw a pure white ceiling. I looked at the ceiling and froze until my brain was fully awake. He rolled over and sat up, finding himself in an all-white room. There are no windows in the room, no clear light source, but the room is very bright. And most crucially, he found that he had no shadow.
"Where is this?" he said, looking around, the last thing in his mind was the department store.
"Zi~~"
There was a soft sound, and Xiao Song saw the white wall in front of him parting to both sides, revealing a deep corridor. The corridor is so long that you can't see the end. Like the room, there is no light source but it is very bright.
After a moment's hesitation, he stepped out and into the hallway.
As soon as I stepped into the hallway, the entrance behind me began to close. Xiao Song didn't hesitate any longer, ignored the closure of the entrance behind him, and walked forward.
He just walked like this, I don't know how long, and the road behind him was finally out of sight.
...... How long do I have to go?......
Walking alone in a corridor that is silent and uninhabited, and it seems like you will never get to the end, is devastating.
And just as he was on the verge of collapse, an opening appeared in front of him.
He couldn't help but quicken his pace, and the opening kept getting closer, and finally, he came to this opening......
"This is ......" Xiao Song's pupils contracted instantly.
"How so?" I said in disbelief. It's a plot change again...... And this time the change is more drastic than the previous ones.
Nuclear explosion.
In the anime, it was a high-altitude explosion, but now it is clearly a scene that only occurs when the ground detonates......
"This is a phenomenon that occurs only when a very large amount of explosives explodes. Saya Takashiro said, "And look in this direction...... It is Kyoto. ”
Sanhua Xingna was suddenly shocked. Her home is in Tokyo.
I looked at the mushroom cloud, motionless like a statue.
This is a nuclear explosion. Absolute.
My gut tells me so. The truth is far more serious than what Saya Takashiro said. Tokyo must have been razed to the ground by now. How many people will die? I don't dare to imagine.
"Ya. Are you okay. Poison Island said softly.
I shook my head.
"Tsuiko, have you ever thought about it...... This is not for the cloud ...... produced by the explosion of a large number of explosives"
My voice was loud enough for Takashi Komuro to hear.
Everyone, including Tsuneko Poison Island, changed their faces.;
