Chapter 36 Chapter 36
Someone wants to blow up the dungeon.
Mu'an Jiaxi was already prepared to die or be buried, but the next second a hand stretched out from nowhere, grabbed her arm, and pulled her and the kid out from under the table with great force.
Before she could react, he pulled her forward. After an unknown amount of time, they finally stopped. It wasn't as dark as before. There were lights and people. She could finally see who had saved her. "Mr. Amuro, it's you. Thank you, thank you. You saved me again. I'll treat you to a meal when we get out. I'll thank you very much."
Amuro Toru released his grip on her wrist and saw the little kid in her arms. He asked curiously, "Who is this kid?"
"Her, I picked her up on the road. I saw her sitting on the ground crying, and her parents were not around, so I picked her up and thought I would look for her parents when I got out." Seeing that he asked, Mu'an Jiaxi briefly told him how he found her.
"Oh, so that's how it is."
Mu'an Jiaxi also took a break from talking and glanced at the crowd. He quickly realized that Xiaolan and the others were not there. He asked him with some confusion, "Where are Xiaolan and the others? Aren't they with you?"
Seeing that she had been holding the little brat and had not let go, Amuro Toru kindly stepped forward and took the little brat from her arms so that she could rest. Hearing this, he explained, "We are organizing the people to take shelter separately. They are on the other side."
Mu'an Jiaxi nodded in sudden realization. "I see. When I came down, I saw the mall was empty, so I guessed someone was organizing an evacuation." Turning to look at the group gathered together, still somewhat emotionally unstable, he asked, "What should we do now? I came from the exit, and the passage is basically collapsed. Digging it out will take at least a week, not to mention the situation outside. I think even a week is difficult."
"There's always a way. Besides, the signal is still there, so we can still contact the outside world."
"I'm just worried about this child. We adults are fine, but she..."
"There are so many restaurants nearby, there must be ingredients in the kitchen, don't worry."
"I hope my worries are unnecessary."
"I'm hungry. I'm so hungry." At this time, the little kid slapped his schoolbag and shouted.
Upon hearing this, Mu'an Jiaxi stepped forward and took the schoolbag in front of her. He raised his hand and pointed at the stool beside him, "Mr. Amuro, please put her down first."
Amuro Toru crouched down, holding the little brat in his arms, and carefully placed her on a chair. Muan Jiaxi took the milk powder can, tore open the packaging lid, took out a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and prepared to feed her.
The little kid opened her mouth and was about to eat, but a hand suddenly appeared and stopped her. She looked up at the owner of the hand curiously, her eyes full of aggrievedness, as if accusing him, "Why don't you let me eat, you bad guy?"
Mu'an Jiaxi also looked at him curiously, as if asking, what are you doing? Why are you stopping the child from eating?
Facing their gazes, Amuro Toru frowned, a rare expression of sternness. He asked seriously, "You're feeding the child like this!"
"Yes." Mu'an Jiaxi nodded seriously, knowing what he meant, and explained, "I know what you mean, but there is no water at the moment. This is the only way. It's better than letting the children go hungry."
Toru Amuro looked at her, was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Wait a moment, I'll think of a way." After that, he turned and left.
Mu'an Jiaxi withdrew his gaze and exchanged bewilderment with the little brat. Finally, he said in a negotiating tone, somewhat helplessly, "How about we wait a little while until that big brother finds some water? Then we can eat the milk powder soaked in water, okay?"
The little brat nodded obediently, looked at the milk powder in her hand, stretched out a little finger, and said in a cute tone, "One bite, one bite."
She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist her cuteness. "Just one bite, no more."
"Yeah." The little brat nodded happily and responded readily.
Mu'an Jiaxi then carefully scooped a spoonful and slowly handed it to her mouth. The little kid took a bite very happily, looking very happy, shaking his head as if he had eaten something delicious.
She asked curiously, "Is it so delicious?"
The little brat nodded very vigorously, "Delicious."
After hearing this, she was eager to try it. Is it really that delicious? With this question, she couldn't help but stretch out her claws, put her little finger into the milk powder can, took a bite, licked it, savored it carefully, and gave a fair evaluation: "Not bad."
"I didn't know that Miss Mu'an actually likes to eat this." Amuro Toru came back at some point and stood quietly behind Mu'an Jiaxi.
She smiled awkwardly at first. She hadn't expected him to see her secretly eating milk powder. It was a real social suicidal scene. Then, she saw the bottle of mineral water in his hand and quickly changed the subject. "Mr. Amuro, you really found the water. That's amazing."
Amuro Toru knew she was embarrassed, so he didn't make things difficult for her. He cooperated and continued with her words, "I found it in a restaurant that hadn't collapsed yet. There was no hot water, so I had to make do with cold water. Give me the milk powder, I'll make it."
Mu'an Jiaxi handed over the milk powder, he took it, walked aside and started making milk.
Mu'an Jiaxi also went over to watch out of curiosity. He saw that he was very skilled and it took less than a minute to make the tea for the little kid to drink.
Looking at Amuro Toru, her curiosity was aroused. She approached him with some curiosity and said in a mean way, "Mr. Amuro, you look so skilled at making milk powder. Do you make it often?"
Amuro Toru pushed her head away and responded calmly, "Have you forgotten what my job is? Making milk powder is not difficult for me."
Mu An Jiaxi didn't get any gossip, nor was he disappointed. Instead, he teased, "Since you're so skilled, I thought Mr. Amuro had already secretly married and had children."
"It seems you're in good spirits, even having time for gossip."
"Hey, isn't that Manager Kumamoto? Who is that next to him? Where are they going?" At this time, Mu'an Jiaxi saw two people passing quickly in the passage behind. They looked anxious and their feet were fast, as if something had happened.
Amuro Toru glanced back and introduced, "He's the designer of this dungeon, his name is Takeda Tai."
"Designer, where are they going? Where can I get to behind this?"
"Their office is made of special materials, so it didn't collapse."
Upon hearing this, Mu'an Jiaxi walked over to the wall and touched it, then scratched it with his fingers. "The materials are indeed different. If the exterior isn't a structural issue, then 80% of the time it's because of something fishy with the materials used. But I'm not an expert, so I don't understand these things."
"I think I need to find the designer first."
"Yeah, but..." Then she pointed at the little kid sitting on the bench drinking milk, distressed and confused, "What should I do? Take him with me."
Amuro Toru glanced down at the little brat and made a decisive decision, "Take him with you."
"Okay." She stepped forward and was about to pick up the kid, but someone moved faster.
Amuro Toru held the little brat in his arms and explained in a gentle voice, "I'm stronger, so I'll do it."
Mu'an Jiaxi had no objection either. She was happy to have someone share the labor.
The two people and the child walked into the corridor leading to the office. The corridor was very long and most of the lights on both sides were damaged due to the collapse. There were only a few lights that were working, and it was pitch black at the end, and they couldn't see anything clearly.
The few of them quickly reached the boundary between light and darkness. The manager's office happened to be next to the dividing line. An Jiaxi, who was closest to the office, raised his hand and politely knocked on the door.
A few seconds passed, but there was no response! Puzzled, she rang again and politely called out, "Is Manager Kumamoto here? Manager Kumamoto?"
There was no response for a long time, and the office was unspeakably quiet.
She turned to Amuro Toru and shook her head, "It seems they are not here." Then she asked in confusion, "Then where did they go?"
"If it's not there, let's go back first."
Mu'an Jiaxi nodded in agreement and walked back with him. When they were halfway there, they found that an office door that had been closed before was now half open.
It was dark and quiet inside, and against the backdrop of the surroundings, it looked even more eerie and terrifying, like a haunted house in an amusement park. A ghost would always pop up when you weren't paying attention, scaring everyone out of their wits.
It was well known that Muan Jiaxi was most afraid of ghosts. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but imagine wildly. When nothing happened, she was frightened by her own wild imagination and huddled behind Amuro Toru, clutching the corner of his clothes tightly, and kept urging, "Mr. Amuro, let's go. There's nothing to see here. Let's go."
Not only did he not leave, but he walked in instead, comforting Mu An Jiaxi, "It's okay, I'll go in and take a look."
Seeing him about to go in, Mu'an Jiaxi quickly loosened his clothes and stood still. Worried and fearful, he warned, "Be careful."
"Yeah." He responded, carrying the kid into the office, and groping along the door frame against the wall, looking for the light switch.
"Click." The light came on, and the office was instantly as bright as day, and the original gloomy feeling disappeared without a trace.
When Mu'an Jiaxi saw the light, he became bolder, regained his energy, and walked into the office calmly.
The office is about ten square meters and the facilities inside are very simple, with just a cabinet for the desk and nothing else.
Probably because they just moved in.
When she came in, Toru Amuro had just walked to the cabinet, opened it and started searching.
Knowing what he was looking for, Mu'an Jiaxi walked over and looked with him. He took out the document and examined it carefully, but after looking for a long time, there was nothing wrong with it.
She finished flipping through the book and was about to move on to the next one. Suddenly, Amuro Toru turned around and walked towards the desk with all the documents. He placed the little brat on the desk first, then spread out the documents one by one, reached into the pen holder, took out a pen, and kept circling the documents.
Mu An Jiaxi walked over curiously, looked at the area he had circled, and asked doubtfully, "Is there a problem with this?"
He didn't reply to her first, but stretched out his hand and said, "Give me your file."
Upon hearing this, Mu'an Jiaxi handed it over, and then saw him carefully searching through it, circling it with a pen.
She remained quiet and didn't interrupt. After a moment, he finally stopped writing and looked at the circled areas on the document with a serious expression. He compared them one by one and finally said, "I see."
"What's wrong? There's something wrong with the circled material."
Amuro Toru nodded, his brows furrowed, his expression extremely serious, and his tone even colder. "Look at these. These materials look fine when viewed separately, but as long as they are combined, these materials can be made into bombs. Judging from the amount, they can probably make about ten."
Mu An Jiaxi shouted in disbelief, "Bomb!"
Amuro Toru said: "Yes."
She quickly calmed down and asked the key question, "First, the dungeon collapsed, and we discovered problems with the building materials. Then, we found bomb materials on the purchase order. But the dungeon collapsed on its own, not because of explosives. So where were these materials used?"
Amuro Toru's eyes shone coldly, his face expressionless as he said in a cold voice, "I guess it's here. This amount is just enough to blow up this underground shopping mall, enough to raze it to the ground."
