Chapter 159 Don't Let Dead Memories Be Revive
Day 11 of the road survival game!
This particularly reliable reaction at a crucial moment brought a smile to Hagiwara's face. Sure enough, even though Kaze's personality is somewhat different from her previous proactive behavior, she is still the same as before and will never let you down at a critical moment.
Hmm! She still has that straightforward quality! While mentally praising his sweetheart as if he were in love, he readily agreed: "Okay! I'll tell you the details when we get back."
"..." Even though he didn't hear what the junior said, just from his childhood friend's words, Matsuda could guess pretty much what was going on. In this emergency, Hagi didn't even forget to comfort his sweetheart. This guy must be the ultimate love-obsessed person.
He was speechless for a few seconds after being amused by his childhood friend, before clicking his tongue and saying in a sarcastic tone, "Tsk! Hagi! You should focus on the dungeon first."
"Ahem!" Morofushi Kagemitsu couldn't help but chuckle. Before reuniting with Hagiwara and Matsuda, he knew that Hagiwara, who seemed frivolous and carefree and was very suitable to be a heartthrob, was actually a person who was very serious about relationships and hated ambiguity.
Moreover, he is particularly honest about this. Whenever someone asks him about his romantic history, he always tells the truth. Although his friends at the dinner party don't believe him, they know that Hagiwara would never lie about this...
I never expected him to behave like this when it comes to dating. I thought he would be just as adept at handling people as he was at police academy!
"Hahaha..." Seeing that not only Kojinpei was making fun of him, but even Komorobuchi was suppressing his laughter with a dry cough, Hagi couldn't help but chuckle: "I know!"
After he finished speaking, he really became serious.
These three were all top graduates of Japan's top universities, and they had also studied professional knowledge that ordinary people could not access at the police academy. Morofushi, in particular, had mastered various powerful criminal methods during his years of undercover work in the organization.
Just now, my friend Rei Furuya provided me with the cruise ship's structural diagrams and a cruise ship accident report. With this increasing intelligence, and information provided by a master who is proficient in various criminal methods and likes to use explosives to eliminate all traces of crimes.
Within minutes, the three of them deduced the approximate location where the cruise ship would sink when the dungeon ended. With a precise target location, they immediately stopped searching aimlessly and instead told Feng Xingshou. The four of them then quickly headed to the location they had identified.
Sure enough, after arriving at the approximate area they had previously deduced, they found the exit of the dungeon under the basketball hoop of a small mini basketball court near the hull of the ship, but still did not find the boundary.
Upon hearing Feng Xingshou's excited words, Morofushi Kagemitsu blinked his cat-like eyes: "It's a bit unbelievable, but perhaps the entire area of this instance is this giant cruise ship!"
“That’s certainly possible.” Matsuda agreed, “After all, ships are the only place to land at sea. This cruise ship is like the only place to land on an isolated island, so it’s understandable that the replica is larger than before.”
"In fact, since the dungeon was upgraded, the dungeon area has become larger and larger. The time before last, it covered most of the cargo hold area of a cargo ship. Last time, it even covered two office buildings. If it covers the entire giant ship this time, it would be normal."
Perhaps next time the coverage area might be even larger than this giant ship! But we can talk about the dungeon limit later.” After Hagiwara finished speaking, he turned slightly to Fuusei, who couldn’t see him but could feel the touch on his fingers, and said, “Fuusei-chan!”
Now that we've found the exit from the dungeon, let's take advantage of the time we still have and go to the nearby storage area to collect some supplies from the ship! I just looked at the ship's structural blueprints, and the supply depot is located two levels below this area.
If we go through the regular route, we'll be back in a very rushed time. However, if we go through the emergency maintenance exit, there's a narrower emergency passage behind the side door. Let's go that way!
Even after a brainstorming session with her close friend and future brother-in-law, Hagiwara never forgot his sweetheart's anxiety about unemployment, and he would try to find opportunities to collect resources for her whenever he had the chance in the dungeon.
This way, she can earn an income by running her own grocery store after returning home, which should alleviate her anxiety about not being able to find a job in the future and feeling like she has no place in society.
.
Matsuda had already heard from Hagiwara about his active assistance in collecting supplies for the Wind Star Guardian. Speaking of pre-prepared foods, pre-prepared foods have actually dominated the tables of ordinary people in Japan for a long time.
The trend is that only middle-class and upper-class families can afford the normal cost of cooking, or rather, ordinary people's rented houses are simply not suitable for cooking. Their small stoves can only be used to cook instant noodles and boil water at most.
The cheap boxed lunches, fast food, various fried noodles and breads, and discounted foods in supermarkets are all pre-made foods, and they are where many ordinary people, including Japanese police officers like him who earn more than 2 million yen a year, get their food.
He always thought this was because Japan's land area was small, disaster-prone and barren, and this was a way of coping with the fact that 120 million people could be fed. He never expected that in the future even a large country like China would be occupied by this kind of pre-made food.
Although he found it hard to accept a future where even pastry chefs would be replaced by pre-made products, and even found it hard to believe without seeing it with his own eyes, he thought the new profession his childhood friend had come up with for his junior schoolmate was quite good.
Anyway, if the junior schoolmate doesn't take those things and supplies away, they will just sink into the sea like they did today. Even if the tugboat can tow them back later, the food, drinks, or other supplies that have been soaked in seawater will be contaminated and unusable, and will have to be destroyed.
It would be better to let the junior schoolgirl collect the money and store it to earn some living expenses! Moreover, in his mind, the junior schoolgirl has such incredible abilities, yet he never thought that after returning to reality, she could secretly collect some cash from ATMs or steal valuable jewelry from jewelry stores.
He greatly respected her self-control! You know, most jewelry thieves and robbers in Japan don't have that ability; they use all sorts of tricks to rob jewelry stores or luxury goods stores.
The junior student possesses such amazing abilities, yet she never considered taking such a selfish and unethical path that wouldn't leave any evidence. She already has a very strong sense of morality and law. What's the big deal that she's just collecting things that are destined to be destroyed if they're not used...
However, not long after Morofushi Kagemitsu met them, Hagiwara and Matsuda forgot to tell him that in addition to supplying them with provisions, the collection of supplies actually had another purpose.
Hearing Hagiwara say that, he assumed that the urgent need to collect supplies from the cruise ship was for the sake of the group's living expenses, and immediately offered, "Then I'll go help too. If we go together, we can be faster!"
.
"Tsk! Our main task is to ensure that Feng-chan can return safely before the dungeon ends."
"Feng-chan didn't remember the cruise ship's structural diagram from earlier, and she doesn't recall that shortcut. We just need to make sure she doesn't go the wrong way." Hearing him say this, Hagiwara and Matsuda recalled how nimbly Feng Xingshou had shrunk eight eggs in front of them several times, and their expressions became somewhat subtle.
Upon hearing his two friends' seemingly unanimous words, Morofushi Kagemitsu suddenly remembered that he had been instantly taken into Feng Sang's space, and even this instance was released after being stored in her space.
Looking back, she seemed quite relaxed whether she was storing or releasing things, so storing supplies must have been easy too... No wonder their expressions were so subtle; most people would have lost their composure in such an awkward situation.
But Morofushi Kagemitsu wasn't such a petty person. On the contrary, he was amused by his own words: "Heh...it seems our main job from now on will be to serve as Fusang's bodyguard and guide!"
"Huh??" Feng Xing Shou, who was completely out of the loop and didn't understand, let out a puzzled sigh.
However, before she could ask further, Hagiwara quickly changed the subject, which would make her friend a little embarrassed if she said it directly: "Fū-chan, I'll show you the way this time, so you have to follow me!"
"Okay." Feeling like he was being coaxed like a child, Kazesei followed Hagiwara and couldn't help but say, "Hey! Hagiwara, can you please stop talking to me like you're coaxing a child every time?"
I'm a 35-year-old adult, why am I still being treated like a child?! o(￣ヘ￣o＃)
"A child? I'm not!" Hagiwara was a little surprised to hear this. After denying it, he thought for a moment and then explained with a smile, "Sorry, it's just my speech habit! I always like to add a cute accent when I speak, so that people who hear it will feel that I'm more approachable, which has a social effect of enhancing intimacy!"
[Tsk! That's just that guy's speech quirk; his cute accent makes him even more popular!]
Upon hearing Hagiwara's explanation, Kazehoshi was taken aback. A familiar voice appeared in his mind, but then disappeared like a flower in a mirror after a splash. It felt like he had heard something similar before. Was it just his imagination?
This awkward Mandarin pronunciation must have come from when she was studying in Japan. The thought of studying in Japan was awful, and she wished she could erase it completely. The memory, which she had tried so hard to forget, was starting to resurface.
Ling Fengxing quickly shook her head to stop herself from thinking about it. o(￣ヘ￣o＃) As long as I can get out of my mind quickly, the dead memories won't be able to be revived. She doesn't want to remember those embarrassing, messy memories that make her wish she could die on the spot!
So what could have been a chance for the three old friends to reunite was nipped in the bud by Feng Xingshou's ostrich-like mentality. Feng Xingshou didn't realize at all that, "Those accents might seem cute in Japan, but in China, only kindergarten teachers or parents use them when talking to children!"
