Chapter 051 Chapter 51

The expression on Hideto Aburano's face was very natural, but it was this naturalness that made Okita Shinro feel strange.

Not long ago, he was a person who was so terrified that his spirit was almost broken and he ran away screaming.

Subconsciously, a thought arose in Okita Shinro's mind: Is this really Hideto Aburano himself?

Under normal circumstances he would have no doubts, but in a place like this, anything could happen.

Thinking of this, Okita Shinro became wary of Hideto Aburano in front of him. He looked at Hideto Aburano, especially at his feet.

He once heard a legend that if the person in front of him was fake or dead, his toes would point in the opposite direction and his heels would face forward.

In the past, Okita Shinro treated this as a joke and never took it seriously, but now, this is the only way for him to identify what is in front of him.

Fortunately, Aburano Hideto's feet were normal. Although this could not guarantee 100% that the person in front of him was okay, at least the psychological pressure was much less than seeing a pair of feet with toes pointing backwards, confirming that there was something fishy in front of him.

"What did you encounter after you ran far away?" Okita Shinro and Aburano Hideto asked from a distance.

Hearing Okita Shinro's question, Aburano Hideto immediately showed a frightened expression on his face. He lowered his head and said sadly, "I went to that fried food shop."

"Fried food shop?" Everyone was surprised. Miyuki asked quickly, "Did you go in?"

Aburano Hideto nodded and said, "I don't know what happened. After I ran a long way, I found myself in that store. Fortunately, the owner of the fried food store didn't find me in the back kitchen, so I hid."

"Then I overheard very important news!" Aburano Hideto seemed very excited, "Besides us, there are other people who have mistakenly entered here! Then, I know how to escape from here!"

"What can we do?" asked Mayuko Yanagida anxiously.

Aburano Hideto whispered, "Every night at midnight, the train to Kisaragi Station will arrive. When the next train comes, we can get on the train and leave here."

"At midnight every night, don't we have to wait here all day?" Ling Nai said in disbelief, "We still have work to do tomorrow!"

Saito Shun: "It's good enough to leave here alive. Are you still concerned about work at this time?"

Ling Nai raised her voice excitedly, "Of course I care. That's a commercial performance opportunity we fought so hard to get. Not only can we show our faces but we can also earn funds for the event. It's very important!!"

Maiko Yanagida: "Commercial performance?"

Li Mei patted Ling No's shoulder comfortingly and explained: "We are underground idols, and we are not very popular."

Although this commercial performance was an opening show for a newly opened store, it was a rare opportunity for a small underground group like them that few people knew about.

For this performance, Ling Nai specially prepared a newly written original song. Even if it doesn't become an instant hit, she hopes to accumulate more popularity and get a good ranking in the next underground idol ranking.

If they fail to arrive on time tomorrow, not only will the performance be ruined, but their credibility will also be damaged as they released the pigeons without permission, and they will also have to pay a penalty for breach of contract.

Imagine the scene where the store owner finds out that no one shows up at the show time. He will definitely be so angry that he will scold them until they cry.

Ling Nai burst into tears now, she covered her face and sobbed.

"Actually, there is another way to get out." Yuno Hideto held his briefcase tightly and said hesitantly, "Destroy the most powerful monster here, and then you can leave."

Okita Shinro immediately asked, "Who said that?"

"The owner of the fried food shop." Aburano Hideto stared at Okita Shinro with a strange smile on his face. "I saw someone locked in a cage in the back kitchen of the fried food shop. The owner of the fried food shop said, 'Unless you get rid of the strongest monster, you won't be able to survive until tomorrow.' I heard it clearly."

Okita Shinro didn't say anything. He doubted the truthfulness of the man in front of him, let alone what he said.

"Let's solve... the monster?" Saito Shun thought of the woman in the red skirt. He shook his head hurriedly, "Don't be ridiculous. That's something that no human can deal with!"

Shinro Okita and Maiko Yanagida also shook their heads. Shinro Okita did not believe what Hideto Aburano said, while Maiko Yanagida simply did not want to take any risks. She thought it would be safer to be cautious and live until the next day to take the train and leave here.

Ling Nai's body was stiff. She rolled her eyes slightly, as if she had found courage: "Well, let's go and deal with the monster."

"Are you crazy?" Miyuki screamed, "Solve that stuff? I don't!"

Ling Nai held Miyuki's hand and said, "We have to leave here as soon as possible! How can we just wait like this! Don't forget our dreams! Why did we persist for so long, sharing a small room, having difficulty eating, and growing vegetables in pots to save money?"

Miyuki's heart was slightly moved by what she said, but she was still hesitant: "But... aren't you afraid? Didn't you say you saw the woman in the red dress before?"

"I'm scared." Ling Nai's voice trembled, and then she said firmly, "But losing my dream is even scarier!!"

Crowd: …

It’s a great realization, but...are you really so stubborn that you are not afraid of death?

The weirdness here is no joke.

"Then... let's give it a try?" Miyuki whispered, "Maybe it will work... If it doesn't work, we can just hide."

Miyuki and Reino looked at Li Mei, and Li Mei gritted her teeth: "Just... try it once!"

"I won't accompany you!" Yanagida Maiko said immediately, "I want to find a safe place to hide." After that, she looked at Okita Shinro: "Will you come with me?"

Okita Shinro thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes."

Saito Shun immediately said, "I'll go with you."

The crowd immediately split into two groups. Reno and the other two chose to attack actively, while Saito Shun and the other two chose to defend passively.

[It's really embarrassing for men. They don't have the courage like the three girls. 】

[They don’t do this out of courage, but because they have to. People who have not been in society don’t understand the helplessness of those who are.]

[These three are all college students. It’s OK for college students to skip classes for one day, but for office workers, if they skip classes for one day, they will probably be fired.]

[Have you all accepted that this live broadcast is real? ]

[It looks too real to be fake. If this is all fake, these people can all debut on the spot, win awards for their performances, and walk the red carpet easily.]

【You can take the little golden man home with you. 】

[I would rather hope it's false. If it's true, it would be really terrible.]

[And if there is one train per day, does that mean there will be a train to Kisaragi Station every day? ]

[Then I will never take the last bus again in my life. ]

[Have you discovered something terrifying? If this live broadcast is fake, then this office worker's neat appearance is just a lie. But if this is all true, then this Aburano Eito...]

[It’s terrible.]

【Believe in the gods, Shiva will bless you. 】

[Who do you think he will choose to act with? ]

[He must be hiding with the two men and one woman. This office worker has a scared expression all the time, so he must be hiding.]

[I think he would follow three girls. I have no basis for this, it’s just my intuition.]

【The police have been called.】

[If calling the police would have worked, the hacker would have been arrested long ago. ]

[No, I called the police to report a kidnapping for the people in the live broadcast, not the hacker issue.]

[I hope the police can give a reasonable answer. Is it a hacker's prank or a ghost story? I am waiting for an accurate answer.]

[There is no accurate answer. We only see words like "Yes, we will find a way", "I am really sorry", "It will be resolved soon", and "We are doing our best" on TV.]

[Well, this is also a characteristic of Neon Country. 】

[If something goes wrong, they all stand up, bow and apologize in front of all the flashing lights.]

[Ah, this is indeed...]

[I hope they are safe. Japan should also pay attention to this live broadcast platform. Not only Japan, but also the whole world. It seems that the emergence of strange things will become a problem. I always feel that the future is dark. ]

【Is it too late to believe in God? 】

[I don’t know if it’s too late, I just know it’s highly unlikely to work. ]

In the live broadcast, Reino seemed a little panicked after knowing that Okita Shinro and others would not act with them. They were the only ones who came to Kisaragi Station together, and there were only three men among them. Now that two men have expressed their intention to hide, there is only one man left, although he looks the most cowardly one.

Lingno didn't have much expectations for Aburano Hideto, but she still looked at him, silently asking what he thought.

"I...I think it's best to find a way to escape from here." Aburano Hideto took a step towards Reino and the other two and said, "I'm a newcomer to the company and I have important work to hand over tomorrow. I can't leave."

Very good, the last sentence is more convincing.

For office workers, work always comes first.

This is a matter of jobs.

Hideto Aburano chose to act with Miyuki and the others. Shinro Okita looked at Reno and the other two, who were slightly relieved to have one more person joining them. After hesitating for a while, he walked over to Rimi and pulled her aside.

Rimi looked at Okita Shinrou in confusion, keeping a safe distance from him.

Okita Shinro looked at Aburano Hideto, and seeing that he didn't notice this, he whispered to Rimi, "I think Aburano Hideto is different this time. You guys... be careful."

There was a bit of confusion on Rimi's face, but she still nodded, indicating that she remembered what Okita Shinro said.

While the two were talking in a low voice, Aburano Hideto, who was thinking with his back to them, tilted his head slightly, turned his eyes back to look at them, and immediately turned his head back before they came back.

Aburano Hideto's eyes narrowed slightly, and a fleeting smile flashed across his face.
