Chapter 1109 1117 [Uzo□□ visits] Asking for monthly tickets (づど)☆
However, while thinking, Okiya Subaru looked around the "safe fortress" he had carefully arranged these days, and then thought about the experience of being interrogated by Officer Sato and almost being taken away as a suspect for questioning...
Although he trusts Akai Shuichi very much, Okiya Subaru is, after all, a top student from a top university, and he occasionally makes his own judgments.
He refused rationally, "I don't know many people here. Besides, I am more familiar with the terrain in this area, I know where there are potential dangers nearby, and I have eliminated some dangers.
"On the contrary, if we really move to an unfamiliar place, Uzo will indeed need to adapt to the new stage, but at the same time, I will also have to adapt to the new environment. I... well, I dare not bet that my adaptation speed will be faster than his."
While listening to the phone, Shuichi Akai looked around Okiya Subaru's house through the scope, and suddenly discovered that this engineering graduate student with strong hands-on skills had secretly created a lot of hidden emergency mechanisms.
...If Okiya Subaru hadn't mentioned this, he really wouldn't have noticed it at first glance.
Thinking of this, Shuichi Akai thought secretly: Since I didn't notice it, maybe Usa will accidentally fall into this too?
"Okay. You can stay then."
Since this temporary teammate had his own ideas, Akai Shuichi did not interfere with Okiya Subaru's choice: "I will continue to let my colleagues keep an eye on this place. You should remember the four photos I showed you before - they are in groups of two, rotating every 6 hours, and will come to pick you up when necessary."
After listening to these arrangements, Subaru Okiya gained more confidence in the FBI.
He confirmed again and again that the contacts had good tempers, had no conflicts with each other, were mentally healthy, and had not been approached by the strange curly-haired man in black.
Afterwards, Okiya Subaru reluctantly added the teammates that Akai Shuichi had sent over to him into his alternative escape plan.
…
After discussing the situation, Okiya Subaru breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair somewhat exhausted.
Just as he was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly heard a soft "dong" sound coming from the direction of the door.
...It sounded like someone was knocking on the door.
Okiya Subaru: "...??"
His mind suddenly flashed with what Shuichi Akai had just said, "According to Usa's style, he would probably just knock on the door directly," and he silently got goosebumps all over his body.
Okiya Subaru: “…” Could it really be Usa who is here?
No, no, no, it was just a noise. Maybe something fell into the corridor and was blown by the wind and hit the door, so...
"Dong Dong"
"Boom boom boom"
The knocking sound rang out again, clearer than the first time, and with very clear intervals - it didn't sound like a random collision, but someone was knocking on the door seriously.
“…”
The hope in Okiya Subaru's heart was shattered by the click.
His mind went blank for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he had already leaned behind the boss chair, using the large steel-core backrest to cover himself. At the same time, he pulled out the gun that he had hidden under the table, loaded it, and aimed at the door.
"who?"
Okiya Subaru kept his voice steady and shouted from a distance.
The knocking sound paused for a moment, then sounded again. The man did not answer, but continued to knock on the door as if nothing had happened.
Subaru Okiya's scalp went numb when he heard the regular clapping sound. For a moment he almost thought he had traveled into a horror movie.
However, in the face of crisis, it is useless to simply escape.
He carefully moved to the door, listened carefully for a moment, and looked out through the peephole.
The corridors and outside were deserted.
Almost at the same time, a gust of cold wind blew past his feet, and then something patted his leg.
"!!"
Okiya Subaru suddenly lowered his head, took a clear look at the situation on the ground, and was suddenly stunned.
——There were no scary intruders in sight.
There was only one cat, which came in through the cat hole at the bottom of the door. It left a gray mark on Okiya Subaru's clean pants and was standing at the entrance, looking around his house, as if inspecting its territory.
The cat is completely black, with only four white paws. It is of medium size and looks like an energetic cat in its puberty.
Okiya Subaru looked at this familiar cat, feeling very complicated for a moment: "..."
The cat hole at the bottom of the door was specially made when he wanted to keep a cat.
But later, when the hole was opened, the cat ran away from home and never came back. When they met again, Subaru Okiya saw this dark cloud snow cat lying in Wu Zuo's arms, looking like a dog, which was heartbreaking.
Later, Okiya Subaru kept the cat hole for a while. Until a few days ago, when "Okiya Subaru" came into contact with Usa, Okiya Subaru reluctantly locked the hole for safety reasons...but the cat still came in.
Subaru Okiya squatted down and checked the doorway with some fear. He couldn't tell whether he had forgotten to lock it or the clever cat had managed to open it.
After a moment, he turned his head to look at the Dark Cloud Snow Cat, and stretched out his hand and retracted it, retracted it and stretched it out again, with a conflict in his heart.
——Although Uzo is scary, the cat is innocent.
In the past, when he didn't know that this was Usa's cat, Okiya Subaru had experienced a few days of carefree cat-raising time.
But on the other hand, at this critical juncture when Usa was targeting him, Okiya Subaru was worried that if he tampered with these "Usa-related factors", the already bad situation would become even worse.
…
Okiya Subaru put away his gun and lowered his head to figure out the purpose of Usako's appearance.
Akai Hideichi, who was outside, couldn't see clearly what was going on in the house. But he heard unusual noises through his phone and immediately realized that something was wrong.
Akai Shuichi's eyes silently became sharp. He did not rashly ask "what's wrong", but he did not hang up the phone either. Instead, he held his breath and listened to the situation on the other side. The sniper rifle in his hand was once again locked on Okiya Subaru's apartment window.
Shuichi Akai: "..." He had already locked down the area surrounding the apartment. Just now, he had confirmed that no one could sneak in.
If there really was one of Uzo's henchmen, could it be that he was lying in ambush in the apartment beforehand, or did he sneak in with the police team just now and never leave?
…
Inside the room, Subaru Okiya stared at the cat for a while.
After a moment, he remembered something, picked up the detector next to him, squatted down carefully, and slowly approached the Dark Cloud Snow Cat.
The cat tilted its head to glance at his instrument, then looked away as if not particularly interested.
Subaru Okiya glanced at his phone again and found that there was no message from Usa, so he quickly checked the cat to make sure that Usa didn't have the heart to install a bug on the cat.
After checking, Subaru Okiya breathed a sigh of relief and put the phone to his ear again.
He whispered, "Just now I heard something knocking on the door, and then I found out... it was the cat that Uzo raised that ran into my house."
