The environment of the wooden house is pretty good. The small living room is separated from the bedroom, so Fujiwara Yu and Hattori Heiji slept on the floor in the living room after washing up. Fortunately, there are enough beddings in the room, otherwise they would definitely catch a cold in this weather.
Before going to bed, Fujiwara Yu was still checking his email, but he found that his phone had no signal. This made him feel alarmed. He quickly patted Hattori Heiji, who was about to fall asleep, and said in a hurried tone:
[I recommend Yeguo Reading, which is really useful. Download it here. yeguoyuedu. Everyone can go and try it out.]
"Hattori! Don't sleep anymore, check your phone to see if there's any signal!"
"Huh? A cell phone?"
Hattori Heiji propped himself up, yawned, and then fumbled for the cell phone hidden under the pillow. When he saw that all the cell phone signal bars disappeared, his sleepiness disappeared instantly.
At this moment, the bedroom door was suddenly opened. Yuanshan Heye, who was wearing a nightgown, pointed at the bedroom window with a panicked expression and said anxiously:
"Heiji, Mr. Takashi, come over here and take a look! The sky over there has turned orange-red!"
It was less than an hour before midnight, so why was the sky orange-red? Fujiwara Yuu realized something, but instead of running to the bedroom window, he grabbed a nearby windbreaker and wrapped it around his pajamas. Before leaving, he reminded everyone:
"Hattori, take Kazuha to find Saito Masami and the others as soon as possible. Don't act rashly before I come back, understand?!"
"Okay, Brother Yingsi, please be careful. I will protect them."
Fujiwara Yu ran outside without looking back, because he had previously calculated the only way to leave the campsite. Since there was no boat on the shore, it was impossible to swim across the Sad Love Lake, so the suspension bridge connecting to the outside was the most important.
He turned on the flashlight to illuminate the front while urging the power of the wind to push aside the occasional messy branches and sharp leaves. He did not restrain his ability until he approached the suspension bridge. What he saw was the entire bridge engulfed in blazing flames.
It's too late.
Even if he put out the fire, the suspension bridge would be completely unusable. All he could do now was stand aside and ensure that the fire would not spread to the forest.
After burning for several minutes, the suspension bridge was burned into a broken bridge. He walked towards the bridge pier and noticed that the fire started on this side of the canyon. His expression gradually became solemn.
This means that the person who wants to trap them in the Sad Love Lake Campground is right next to them.
Fujiwara Yu stood as close to the edge of the cliff as possible and raised his mobile phone. After making sure there was no signal, he had to return the same way. He put his hands in his pockets and couldn't help but smile bitterly, because he didn't expect his luck to be so bad. His rare vacation was ruined.
According to his many years of experience, they have most likely already taken action, otherwise they would not have trapped them here at this time.
"...Ruining people's vacations and forcing them to work overtime, what a damned fellow."
——
At 11:47 PM, the single-family wooden house near the small wooden bridge was already dark.
The only sound in the bedroom was light and slow breathing. Miyano Akemi, who had already turned off the lights to rest, suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. She sat up and reached out to push her best friend Kakizaki Sayuri, who was still asleep with drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.
Seeing she showed no signs of waking, Miyano Akemi threw on a small coat, picked up a thin wooden stick on the bedside table, and tiptoed to the door, successfully concealing her footsteps. But after hearing the strong Kansai accent coming from outside, she realized the person knocking was Hattori Heiji, the dark-skinned boy who was with Fujiwara-kun.
"Ms. Saito! Miss Saito! Wake up!"
Miyano Akemi put the thin wooden stick aside, unlocked the simple door, and opened it inwards. She looked at Hattori Heiji, who had come to look for her in the middle of the night, in confusion and asked:
"Hattori-kun, what happened?"
She even glanced to the side and saw only two children, but no sign of Fujiwara-kun.
"The situation is still uncertain, but Brother Takashi has already gone to the suspension bridge." Hattori Heiji's slightly childish face revealed a seriousness that was unbecoming for his age. He frowned and said, "The suspension bridge may have been set on fire, and our cell phone signal has been cut off."
"The suspension bridge was burned down?" Miyano Akemi then looked out the window. When she noticed the sky dyed orange-red by the fire, her expression gradually changed. She had not expected that she would encounter such a thing when accompanying her best friend to participate in this free sightseeing activity.
Honestly, she was more worried at this stage that the organization wouldn't be able to locate her after the signal was blocked, and would directly dispatch personnel to kill her. If they misunderstood her as trying to take advantage of the opportunity to leave the organization, things would be much more troublesome than the current situation.
"Well, we don't know what the situation is yet. Brother Yingsi asked us to come to you first." Hattori Heiji paused and couldn't help but gossiping: "Ms. Saito, did you know Brother Yingsi before?"
"We're just ordinary friends, but we haven't seen each other for a few years." Miyano Akemi didn't intend to elaborate on her relationship with Fujiwara-kun. She pointed to the sofa in the small living room and continued, "You two should sit down for a while. I'll go wake Sayuri up."
"OK."
Even after sitting down, Toyama and Ye still felt a little uneasy. She looked out the window worriedly at the night, wondering what was happening with Mr. Yingsi. If the suspension bridge really burned down, how would they leave the Lake of Sadness?
"Don't worry, Brother Yingsi and I will make sure you're safe. Nothing will happen."
"Heiji, you..."
"So don't leave my sight, understand?"
"Well, I won't leave your side!"
Hattori Heiji never lets down his guard at critical moments. Although he is just a junior high school student who has not seen much of the world, he is still a man after all. At times like this, he will naturally stand up to protect the people who are very important to him.
With the push of Miyano Akemi, Sayuri Kakizaki, who was sleeping soundly, finally woke up. After learning that the suspension bridge was burned and there was no mobile phone signal, the two minors outside did not panic, but she, as an adult, was the first to lose her composure.
"Then how are we going to get out now? And didn't the radio just say that a death row prisoner escaped? Could he be coming here to kill us?" Kakizaki Sayuri had never seen such a scene before. She hugged Yamei's arms so tightly that her voice trembled. She didn't want to be killed by a murderer without ever having been in love.
The three consecutive questions were interrupted by a knock on the door, and the voice of Sosuke Takagi came from outside the door. It was not known whether it was the sense of security brought by a reliable adult, or this steady voice that made everyone in the room feel relieved.
The tense mood was relieved.
