Chapter 050 Chapter 50

Aburano Hideto's facial muscles were extremely distorted, and he was dragged into the kitchen behind a curtain while wailing.

The smoke from the kitchen was curling, and the air was filled with the aroma of frying, but soon, this alluring aroma changed and became a greasy smell of fat, like the unpleasant smell of fat that has been stored for more than two years. The moment he smelled this smell, Aburano Hideto felt so sick that he wanted to vomit.

"Let me go, let me go." Yuuno Hideto struggled desperately. His hand touched a layer of greasy and sticky stuff on the floor. He raised his hand and saw that it was bloody meat.

Aburano Hideto was so frightened that his whole body began to tremble.

"No, I don't want to eat anymore..." Aburano Hideto stood up and tried to run, but the man grabbed him by the back of his collar, picked him up and threw him into a black cage, then slammed the cage shut.

Poor Aburano Hideto was curled up in a small cage like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered. The cage door was stuck, not locked. Aburano Hideto desperately stretched his fingers through the gap in the bars, trying to pry the stuck door open.

"Hey, were you captured too?" Someone's voice sounded behind him, scaring Ayano Hideto so much that he stood up. However, the cage was only half a meter high, and Ayano Hideto had to squat with his legs bent to barely stay down. When he raised his head, he immediately bumped into the top of the cage, and he cried out in pain.

Aburano Hideto turned his head and looked behind him, only to see another iron cage behind him, also holding a man, who looked to be less than 30 years old, also wearing a suit, and was an office worker like him. However, this man looked much more shabby than Aburano Hideto, his suit was dirty and had several cuts, his shoes were gone, and he was standing on the cage in a pair of dirty socks, which were stained with a lot of blood.

"I'm Sato." Sato grabbed the iron gate with both hands and tried desperately to get his face in. His eyes were wide open and his gaze was a little straight. He looked a little crazy. "Tell me, how did you get here? That platform too?"

"Kiragi platform."

"Hey, hey. I knew it." Sato bit his nails. "Me too, I've been here for a while. A long time, really, I've been running away." He spoke intermittently and a little incoherently.

"Do you know how to get out of here?"

Sato stared at Aburano Hideto, then smiled after a while and whispered, "I know. Get rid of the monster, or be eliminated by the monster."

"Haha, it's okay to die. I can leave." Sato laughed.

"Can you leave if you die?" asked Aburano Hideto in disbelief.

Sato nodded quickly: "Yes, he went to heaven, just left."

A look of disappointment appeared on Hideto Aburano's face. Going to heaven means dying, right?

Although people in Japan go to shrines to pray and worship during the New Year, that is a tradition. Maybe some people believe in gods or something, but most young people do not believe in gods.

The legend of eight million gods is, after all, just a legend.

Rather than believing these, it is better to believe in the existence of the slit-mouthed woman and that the doll's hair can grow longer.

Or, believe in the existence of parallel worlds.

Looking at the fried food shop owner standing in front of the chopping board with his back to them, Aburano Hideto continued to try to open the cage door and escape. Although he wanted to know about the "weird thing", compared to this, saving his own life was more important. Who knows whether the pound of meat will come from the neck or the thigh?

Even if it's a thigh, I don't want to do it.

"Hehe, it's useless." Sato looked over here and said with a smile, "You can't run away. If you are caught, you can't get out."

Aburano Hideto ignored him, and while he glanced at the fried food owner secretly, he pushed the door open. Finally, with a slight click, the door was pushed open. Aburano Hideto was filled with great joy, and when he was about to push the door open and escape, the man chopping meat stopped. At that moment, Aburano Hideto's heartbeat almost stopped.

The man slowly turned around and looked at the cage: "There are two more guests."

After saying that, he walked towards the cage.

Aburano Hideto trembled and planned to escape immediately if the man opened the door of his cage.

Fortunately, the man did not do so. He bypassed the door of Aburano Hideto's cage, walked to Sato's cage, opened the cage and pulled Sato out: "Sir, please give me two pounds of front leg meat. I can make a cutlet."

"No, wait! Someone's treating us!" Sato shouted.

The man tilted his head slightly: "Hmm?"

Sato pointed at Aburano Hideto and said, "He's treating me. He said he would treat me to a meal! Just now, he agreed!!"

Suddenly, Hideto Aburano's face turned pale. Although he didn't know the rules of this restaurant, he still knew that 'when placing an order, you have to provide your own meat as ingredients'. So the person who treats the guests... has to provide ingredients for others.

The hair on the back of Aburano Hideto stood up, and he hurriedly said in defense: "I didn't! I won't treat you!!"

The fried food shop owner held the kitchen knife in his right hand and Sato in his left hand. He looked a little troubled and finally said, "The matters between customers should be left to the customers to resolve."

After saying that, the fried food shop owner let Sato go.

The fear on Sato's face turned into a smile. He opened the door of Aburano Hideto, grabbed him and dragged him out, whispering: "This is for our own good. Really, you see, no one is treating us, so the owner gets the ingredients himself. Since you are treating us, we can choose to cut it ourselves...haha..."

"Then why not use yours!!" Aburano Hideto pushed Sato and started to wrestle with him.

"Of course it's because I provided the rules. You see, I know a lot. You have to rely on me to stay alive. I can take you out." Sato grabbed the collar of Aburano Hideto and said with gritted teeth, "It's all for survival. Right?"

"I don't--"

The scuffle soon turned into a fight. You punch me, I kick you. Aburano Hideto wanted to run away, but Sato grabbed his arm and dragged him back. The two of them struggled from the cage to the chopping board. Then Sato grabbed a knife from the wall and stabbed it forward fiercely.

The sword stabbed Aburano Hideto's arm. The wound was not deep, but it was enough to wet his sleeve with blood, which then dripped down his arm onto the floor.

The fried food shop owner holding a kitchen knife nearby swallowed his saliva and urged, "Hurry up and decide, the oil is still hot."

"Ha, haha." Sato laughed crazily.

Hideto Aburano covered the wound on his arm, and his great fear quickly turned into anger. He took the opportunity when Sato was laughing crazily and snatched the knife from Sato's hand.

When the bloody knife fell into his hand, Hideto Aburano was stunned for two seconds, and soon his expression turned ferocious. After the knife stabbed into Sato's thigh fiercely, Hideto Aburano turned around and ran.

"He's treating us!" Aburano Hideto shouted as he ran out.

"It seems that it has been decided, guests." The man walked towards Sato with a butcher knife. "Then, two pounds of front leg meat and one pound of tenderloin."

Spine...

Sato laughed bitterly a few times, and was grabbed by the arm and thrown onto the chopping board by the man. The raised knife fell down fiercely. He stared at the live broadcast split screen here, and then turned off the screen after the blood flowed down from the chopping board.

However, the comment area will not stop due to the switching of the live broadcast screen.

[I’m going to go——]

[The one just now, the cut was really severed, although a large part of it was blocked by the store owner due to the viewing angle, but you can still see a little bit of it. ]

[Are the special effects so amazing now? The actors' acting skills are also superb, they can definitely perform on the international stage. ]

【Everyone wake up, I have told you so many times, this is true.】

[It's true! I can guarantee that it's true. I know the man in the suit. His name is Aburano Eito. He just graduated from school last year and joined a pharmaceutical company as a clerical worker. He is not an actor at all and has never performed before!]

[Is it true? If it's true, it's really terrible. Is that person really dead? Does anyone know him? ]

[I don't know. Sato is the most common surname. It's hard to find someone if you only know their surname and don't take a full picture of their face.]

【T3 combination!! I love them so much!!】

【who?】

【T3!! Those three pretty girls in short skirts are idols!!】

[I haven't heard of this group's name, which idol is it from, and where has it performed before? ]

[The performance venue behind Ginkgo Street, where they performed before.]

[Behind Ginkgo Street...wait, you said that the area is very small and full of broken stages for underground idols to perform?]

[What's wrong? Do you look down on underground idols? ]

[No, it’s just that… 80% of underground idols will eventually end up in disgrace, and 10% will go into the adult industry to make movies and TV shows that only adults will see.]

【What about the remaining 10%? 】

【The remaining 10% fall into three categories. The first is that the group name always exists and is relatively well-known among underground idol groups, but the members change in batches. The second is that they change careers and shine in other jobs related to the idol industry, which is also considered a success. The lowest probability is to form a group and debut as a well-known idol, which depends on luck in addition to strength.】

[Wait, that's not the point. There are idols here. Is this a promotional show with hired performers? That office worker might be a guest star.]

[Many underground idols have trouble making ends meet, how can they afford such a spectacular promotional shoot?]

【Maybe there is a sponsor.】

[Do you still need to be an underground idol when you have a sponsor? You can become famous faster by playing a supporting role in a small drama group. 】

【……】

[The live broadcast split screen is closed, leaving only one live broadcast screen staring at these people. What will happen to Aburano Hideto who escaped with injuries? ]

[I don't know, I only care about the T3 combination. ]

[Look, isn't that Aburano Eito in the front? He has merged with these people. No wonder there is no split screen, because it is not needed. ]

[Eh? Is this really Aburano Eito? ]

[I was also very surprised. Didn't Aburano Hideto have an injured arm? He was still rolling and crawling on the dirty ground. Now Aburano Hideto has come out with a clean body and no wounds at all.]

[I knew it was a photo shoot. It's too bad. The makeup artist should have her bonus deducted.]

[I've said it before, the weird live broadcast is real. 】

[Forget it, they will understand after watching a few more shows. ]

During the live broadcast, Shinro Okita and his friends also saw Hideto Aburano ahead of them. They were terrified that they were stuck in a cycle of traps, and even thought that they would spend their whole lives in this trap. Suddenly, they saw Hideto Aburano, who had separated from them before. Shinro Okita approached him without hesitation and said, "Where have you been? We wanted to catch up with you but never did. Are you okay?"

Aburano Hideto was carrying a briefcase. He lowered his head to look at his feet, touched his face, raised his head to look at Okita Shinro and the others, and raised the corners of his mouth stiffly: "Ah, I'm fine."

Very good.
