A trip to Fukuoka is like an episode of summer vacation. After returning to Tokyo, Makoto Kyushu began his daily life day after day.

Contact the workplace and the Sunset Detective Agency, and take advantage of the summer vacation to work more to earn money. Although he does not seek to be rich and rich, the more money he has, the better.

In addition, Makoto Kyushu also took the time to visit several martial arts gyms in Tokyo to learn from their operating experience, and asked the owner to learn from them, intending to have an in-depth exchange with them.

Unsurprisingly, all of these requests were rejected by the owners.

Modern times are a society governed by the rule of law, and the competition is won and imprisoned, and the martial artists are hospitalized, so martial artists cannot rely on the arrogance of the rivers and lakes.

If the museum owners really agree to learn from Kyushu Makoto, if they lose, they won't be able to hang on to their faces; If you win, the other party will call the police with a backhand, and the martial arts hall will also suffer.

What's more, these museum owners can't figure out the bottom of Kyushu Cheng, and they don't know if he is simply here to exchange ideas or make trouble. Simply refuse from the beginning, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Kyushu Makoto had no choice but to express his deep understanding of this and had no choice but to leave.

After today's work, Makoto Kyushu took away the leftover fried beef and fried noodles with green peppers sold at the part-time job restaurant and returned home to eat.

"Ding-dong ——!"

Just as he lifted his chopsticks and picked up a string of fried noodles, an untimely doorbell came from outside the door.

Makoto Kyushu put down his chopsticks, walked to the door of the entrance and asked, "Hello, who are you?" ”

Through the cat's eye on the door, Makoto Kyushu saw a man in a suit and leather shoes standing outside the door, with a work card hanging from an orange suspender belt on his chest.

"Hello, may I ask Mr. Kyushu!" The person at the door rang the doorbell a few more times in a row, looking impatient:

"I'm a salesman at NHK, could you please open the door if it's convenient?"

Hearing this, Kyushu Cheng suddenly straightened his face: "Sorry, it's inconvenient." ”

According to his understanding, there seems to be an unwritten rule among Wano people that they should never open the door to people who call themselves "NHK salesmen".

NHK is the first national comprehensive radio and television station in the history of Wano Country, and it is a major company in the broadcasting industry with a presence in news, dramas, music, sports events, and children's programs.

Unlike its peers, the station does not have any advertising or sponsorship, but is able to pay service fees to all those who can watch the station in accordance with the Broadcasting Law enacted by the Wano country government.

The payment price for NHK TV is not cheap, and you need to pay 13 to 1,500 yen a month, which is a lot of money in a year.

In the old era when information technology was not developed, "watching TV" was the preferred indoor entertainment activity for most people, so the existence of this law is reasonable and necessary.

But today's Internet is extremely developed, young people can complete all entertainment as long as they have mobile phones and computers, and TV sets have begun to be eliminated.

Even so, NHK Broadcasting Company did not consider keeping up with the times, but continued to rely on the prestige of the Broadcasting Act to impose fees on all those who could watch its own television station.

This attitude has sparked discontent among the population. Many people think that they don't watch NHK, but they are forced to pay monthly bills just because they have a TV at home, which is really unreasonable.

As a result, "how to prevent being forced to collect fees by NHK" has become a topic of conversation. Anyway, we can't afford to provoke and still hide, as long as we pretend that we are not at home, do not open the door to the NHK salesman, do not answer the debt collection call, and bury our heads in the soil as an "ostrich", NHK will retreat.

However, NHK TV also thought of a bad trick - hiring a large number of non-staff personnel to fight the people to the death, and forcing the residents to sign paid contracts through high-intensity matching.

According to the Internet, these supernumerary toll collectors have done many acts that are outrageous, including but not limited to verbal intimidation and threats to residents, investigating residents' personal privacy, repeatedly squatting at the door of residents' homes like thieves, knocking on doors in the early morning to harass residents, and even reaching out to open the anti-theft chain when residents open the door and forcibly break in.

Many people who adopted the "ostrich tactic" eventually couldn't stand the harassment of those supernumerary toll collectors in turn, and were forced to sign payment contracts.

Because of this, NHK TV has already attracted the outrage of people and gods. NHK toll collectors are the plague gods of plagues, and they are the existence of "if you open the door to them, you will become unlucky".

The apartment building where Makoto Kyushu lives is newly built, and most of the residents are financially well-off, so it is only natural that NHK has been targeted by NHK and has become a key target for them, and whenever they see a new face moving in, they will come to pester them.

In fact, Makoto Kyushu did not install a TV at home, and he did not plan to watch NHK channels.

But he also doesn't plan to open the door to the NHK toll collector outside the door. It's like even if there is no dog food and meat stored at home, most people will not open the door to the wild dogs squatting at the door.

Sensing the obstacle, the NHK toll collector outside the door did not give up, and the doorbell was gradually replaced by a knock:

"Mr. Kyushu, I'm a salesman at NHK. Please don't turn me away, let's talk! ”

"I don't have a TV at home." Makoto Kyushu replied lightly.

"Then please let me take a look first!" The NHK toll collector insisted:

"According to the Broadcasting Act, you are obliged to pay to our company as long as you have all electronic devices, including mobile phones and computers, that are able to watch NHK channels! Mr. Kyushu, you wouldn't say you don't have a mobile phone, would you? ”

“.” Makoto Kyushu took a deep breath and retorted:

"But I don't have any software on my phone or computer that can watch TV, and I won't watch your company's TV channels, please go back!"

"Please don't embarrass me, Mr. Kyushu!" NHK toll collectors are not dead yet:

"It is the duty of every citizen to pay NHK TV! You don't want to break the law, do you? ”

"Please come back." Makoto Kyushu said again: "This is the second time I've said it, and I don't want to say it a third time." ”

This time, the other party was stunned. According to Wano country's laws, if someone trespasses into someone's home without permission and fails to leave after being warned three times by the owner of the household, he commits the crime of "trespassing".

And this trick is exactly what many people use to dissuade NHK toll collectors, and it has been tried and tested repeatedly. Most of those toll collectors are external temporary staff, and they can't afford to get themselves into the bureau for a single business.

Sensing that Makoto Kyushu was a hard stubble, the NHK toll collector had to leave in a huff.

Makoto Kyushu finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to go back to eat.

These NHK toll collectors are fierce on the surface, but in fact, they have inherited the fine tradition of bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and as long as they perceive that the residents are hard stubble, they will retreat and no longer come to entangle.

On the contrary, as long as the residents show a weak attitude, they will intensify their door-to-door harassment, and they will come to harass them ten times at a time, and they will harass them in the early morning during the day and without success, so that the residents will be greatly mentally tortured.

Even Zhuge Liang will agree to go out of the mountain after being looked at the thatched cottage three times, let alone these ordinary people? Many people are overwhelmed and finally have to

After finishing the meal, when Makoto Kyushu went out to take out the garbage, he saw an NHK toll collector standing at the door of the apartment on the left, apparently pestering the neighbor girl.

"Miss Zuo, please open the door! I know you're at home! The NHK toll collector violently banged on the door and kicked the door from time to time, with such force that the entire corridor was rattling, as if he was deliberately disturbing the people:

"Your parents sent you to study in our country, and they definitely don't want you to be sent back because you didn't pay for the audio-visual fees of our TV station, right?"

However, no matter how much he knocked on the door, there was no response.

"Miss Zuo, if you are not free today, we will come back to visit you at another date, I hope you are ready!" The toll collector put down a word that seemed to be threatening, glanced at Makoto Kyushu with a strange gaze, and turned to leave.

After the commotion outside the corridor subsided, Makoto Kyushu was about to continue going downstairs to take out the garbage, but the door of the neighbor's house was slowly opened by a crack.

The girl who called herself "Keiko" poked out of the crack in the door again, her long black hair was messy and unkempt, and a faint dark circle appeared on her pale face that had not been exposed to the sun.

"Are the people from NHK gone?" She was cautious to herself, but she shrunk her neck in fright the moment she saw Makoto Kyushu.

"He's gone, but he should come back." Makoto Kyushu turned his head and said:

"In the future, if you encounter someone from NHK who comes to harass you, you must refuse him sternly, and don't pretend that there is no one in the house. They will investigate your daily routine beforehand, so they know exactly when you are at home and will keep coming to your door to harass you. ”

NHK salesmen also have a trick, which is "noise disturbing the people". In the face of residents who pretend not to be at home, the salesman will punch and kick the door hard, and shout loudly, deliberately making noise in the corridor to disturb other residents in the surrounding area.

According to the unique Qingqi brain circuit of the people of Wano Country, most of the affected residents will not blame the NHK salesman who is the culprit, but will blame the harassed residents for not paying the fee obediently or refusing to say so, which makes everyone affected.

Under the reprimand of the neighbors, the harassed residents will eventually be unable to bear the psychological pressure and choose to pay the fees obediently.

Of course, Makoto Kyushu is not a native of Wano Country. He believes that if NHK salesmen are disturbing people, then the fault lies with the salesmen themselves, not the harassed residents.

Although he has a good temper, he is not a great good person. If the NHK salesman comes to the door frequently in the middle of the night to harass the neighbor and makes him sleep badly, then he will take his anger out on the salesman.

"Good me. I know" Jingzi was stunned for a moment, nodded in panic, and prepared to close the door.

"Wait a minute." Makoto Kyushu stretched out his hand to stop her and reminded: "We are neighbors, so if you need help in the future, come to me." ”

"Thank you" Jingzi's eyes flickered, and her voice became smaller and smaller: "Last meeting gift. Thank you too. ”

With that, she closed the door like a ghost.

Kyushu Makoto wanted to communicate more with this neighbor, especially when he heard the NHK toll collector call her "Miss Zuo" and said that she was here to study.

"Could it be that she is also a Yanhuang person?" Makoto Kyushu guessed.

However, this neighbor is obviously not very willing to communicate with outsiders more, and Kyushu Makoto does not intend to force her.

After taking out the garbage, Makoto Kyushu went home and played with his mobile phone for a while, looked at tomorrow's part-time job arrangement, and then washed up and went to bed.

I'm going to work for a moving company tomorrow morning, and I'm going to rest early.

“.”

"Knock-"

"Knock Knock Knock ——!"

"Miss Zuo, please open the door!"

"It's three o'clock in the morning, who is it?"

"Hello, I'm a salesman at NHK, please let me come in and talk!"

"Ahh Don't get in on the leeching chain! Get out! ”

"Excuse me, I'm in the door! Oh~ Miss Zuo, you happen to have a TV at home, please allow me to take a photo first - it seems that you are obliged to pay us~"

"My TV is for playing games and it's not turned on. TV features! ”

"That's okay, as long as you have a TV at home, you are obliged to pay us~"

"Why don't you touch me like this, let me go!"

"Please be quiet, Miss Zuo~ It's so late, everyone should be asleep, you are so noisy but you will cause trouble to the neighbors~"

"Ahhh——!hhh Help me! ”

"This is a signing contract, please cooperate with me to sign it obediently~"

"Let go of my hands! Don't touch me! ”

"Miss Zuo, please don't resist as a foreigner who comes to study abroad, and you should respect our laws here, right?"

"Ahh Help me! Save me!!! ”

“！！” Makoto Kyushu was awakened in the middle of the night and heard a noisy argument coming from next door.

His bedroom is on the left side of the apartment, just a wall away from his neighbor Keiko's house. If there is a big disturbance in the other party's house, Kyushu Cheng can also hear it.

Although he didn't hear the conversation next door, Kyushu Makoto heard Keiko's screams and a faint cry for help.

Makoto Kyushu jumped up from the bed and ran out without hesitation, taking an umbrella and a kitchen knife along the way.

Running out of the door, Kyushu Cheng really saw the door of the next room open, and the cries for help inside were intermittent, but it was full of the girl's despair.

"Is it a burglary?" Makoto Kyushu took a deep breath: "It sounds like there's only one robber. That's right, after all, it's a girl who lives alone, and she has no ability to resist at all. ”

He grabbed his umbrella and kitchen knife and rushed forward in a big stride.

Entering the living room of Jingzi's house, Makoto Kyushu saw a man in a suit with a big back grabbing the girl's wrist and forcing her to put her fingerprint on the contract on the table.

The man in the suit looked ruffian, according to Kyushu Makoto's experience, this is the temperament of a second slipper who has been on the street.

On the other hand, Jingzi's face was red, her hair was more messy than usual, and her wrist was pinched out by the other party.

Seeing Kyushu Cheng breaking in with a knife, the man in the suit was stunned for a moment, and Jingzi seemed to be relieved, revealing a look of wanting to cry without tears.

"Let her go, beast!" Kyushu Cheng grinned and roared, and rushed forward with a hideous and terrifying smile on his face.

Twenty minutes later, police cars and ambulances came to the apartment building, illuminating the street in red and blue.

The ambulance crews carried the unconscious man in a suit out on a stretcher, while the police questioned the two about the situation.

After many explanations, it was not easy for everyone to figure out the ins and outs of the matter.

NHK toll collectors raided Keiko's house in the middle of the night and forced her to sign a payment contract by forcibly breaking into a house and forcing her to do so. And Kyushu Cheng mistakenly thought that the other party was a burglar, and without saying a word, he rushed in to save people, strangled the "gangster" in "extreme fear", and stabbed the other party five or six times.

The police chatted with the two for 20 minutes and then left, and did not arrest Makoto Kyushu - he is still a minor, and if he really wants to investigate to the end, he will be sent to a juvenile detention center for two months, and he may be targeted by reporters who may be arrested, causing unnecessary public opinion turmoil.

Moreover, the subjective intention of the teenager is to help the neighbors expel the burglars, but the means are a little more radical. And the behavior of the NHK toll collector is indeed illegal, and Keiko can fully prosecute the other party for a series of crimes such as "trespassing" and "sexual harassment".

Because of the big uproar in this matter, the apartment manager also hurried up to check on it, and scolded angrily after learning what had happened:

"NHK is really getting more and more excessive, I heard that they have recently started to hire idle people to do the work, and these dry food cops don't care!"

The police officers laughed bitterly and did not respond to this complaint. They are just a bunch of low-level miscellaneous people, how can they have the right to find trouble with the largest TV station in Wano Country?

After some commotion, this emergency finally came to an end.

"Then I'll go back first, remember to lock the door at night, don't open the door indiscriminately." Makoto Kyushu beckoned to Keiko and prepared to leave.

"Huh... Ha... Okay" Jingzi was obviously frightened, she had been trembling in her coat since just now, her face was so white that she couldn't see half of the blood, and her pupils were always shrunk to one-third the size of the whites of her eyes:

"Well... Terrible... Terrible..."

She looks like a frightened and frightened heroine of a ghost movie, and I'm afraid it's a question of whether she can sleep peacefully tonight.

Just before Keiko was about to close the door, Kyushu Makoto suddenly stopped her:

"Can I delay you a little bit and talk to you a little bit?"
