Sawada Tsunayoshi couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth. He caught a glimpse of Osamu Dazai's smiling face out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "So Mr. Dazai, do you have any clues to talk about?"

Osamu Dazai chuckled, and then threw another trick at Tsunayoshi Sawada: "Mr. Sawada, if you have any other clues, please tell me, such as where the ring was lost."

Sawada Tsunayoshi knew that the other party was starting to mention the doubts about his commission again, he sighed secretly in his heart, and replied calmly: "Not yet. I remember that Mr. Kazukuni Kida said before that if I If I have any clues or want to add some details, I will contact him."

"That's a pity." Osamu Dazai shrugged.

The competition in the arena below has officially started, and Breaker is eagerly preparing to rush to RT.

He looked like the type who would strike first, but there seemed to be some hesitation in his movements, as if he was thinking about whether he should rush over now.

Through observation, Sawada Tsunayoshi guessed that it was because he knew who his opponent was.

That European white man caused cheers from the entire arena when he appeared on the stage. Following the order of the previous host, the voices shouting his name became more enthusiastic after the start of the game. Everyone seemed to be looking forward to RT's performance. .

On the contrary, the support for Breaker was obviously overshadowed by RT's, which also created the current situation where the two are still in the stage of mutual testing, but it is obvious that RT and the other side's testing should be performed more easily.

"Breaker! Breaker made a shot! He moved first! A beautiful right uppercut!" The host's passionate voice came from the speaker on the wall, "Beautiful! RT easily predicted the trajectory of this punch and succeeded Dodged Breaker's attack!"

The movement of RT is much lighter than that of Breaker.

And Breaker had obviously realized this too, after arching his back, he swooped down and raised his hand and ran quickly towards RT.

He tried to hug RT and rush towards the fence. Logically speaking, it is difficult to dodge completely at this distance, but RT's body speed and reaction speed are astonishingly high. He turned around to dodge at the most convenient and fastest angle, and then turned around. Lift your foot and kick the opponent towards the fence vigorously.

The huge inertia makes Breaker can only be slaughtered.

After Breaker was slammed into the corner of the fence by RT, RT first grabbed Breaker's arm and forcibly turned the opponent to face him, and then greeted him with a straight uppercut. This punch seemed to have stunned Breaker.

Sawada Tsunayoshi knew that feeling. When he was hit hard on the head, it was like a bomb detonated in his ears, causing tinnitus. The whole brain was empty, and he couldn't think at all. Losing control of his limbs, something he prayed he'd never feel again when he tasted it.

RT pursued the victory here, caught Breaker's stunned moment, turned his upper body and swept towards Breaker with one leg, Breaker's huge body fell to the ground, and the sound of hitting the ring surface was even recorded by the microphone, and finally flowed into the room along the sound system in everyone's ears.

Seeing this, Tsunayoshi Sawada knew that he didn't need to read any more.

The strengths of the two are too different. Although RT's physical condition does not have an advantage over Breaker, the sensitivity and skill he has shown in combat is completely unmatched by Breaker.

The referee on the stage had already started counting down the seconds. Tsunayoshi Sawada withdrew his gaze and turned his head to the side. Just as he was about to say something to Isamu Sakurada who had been silent at the side, a loud noise and strong vibration suddenly came from below.

If I remember correctly, Sawada Tsunayoshi even felt a slight shaking in the room just now.

There was the harsh sound of metal objects falling to the ground from the stereo, accompanied by multiple echoes. This should be the sound of the microphone falling to the ground, followed by a burst of shouting and screaming .

"Why——" before Sakurada Yuyu could finish his words, a crack appeared on the huge floor-to-ceiling window made of special material in front of them. The more chaotic the shouts, the wider the crack became, and the longer it spread to the surroundings.

After calming down for half a second and realizing something, Sakurada Isamu temporarily put the past grievances behind him, and shouted: "Dazai!"

And it seemed that at this critical moment, Dazai Osamu was also calm and calm. He glanced at Isamu Sakurada, as if he didn't intend to do anything.

"Please, I can't handle that guy." Isamu Sakurada looked at Dazai.

After staring at Isamu Sakurada for a moment, Dazai showed a gesture of unwillingness to do anything, but he still sighed and nodded reluctantly: "Okay, okay."

Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't understand what happened, but the reaction of the two seemed to be fully aware of the situation at the moment. He couldn't ask the two of them at this time, so he had to leave the private room immediately following their footsteps .

The sound insulation effect of the private room is excellent. After opening this private room and running outside, I heard anxious roars and running sounds from all over the corridor.

Today is an important game. There are countless spectators who come to watch the game. There are not a few guests who can have private rooms. There is a mess in the corridor, and a man wearing a mask and elegantly dressed is asking hysterically. What the hell happened to the service staff at the door.

Isamu Sakurada ran over quickly, first pulled the customer who was holding the collar of the service staff away from behind, explained quickly and asked the other party to leave from the emergency exit, and then stopped Tsunayoshi Sawada: "Sawada, you Help evacuate some guests here, I will go down first!"

After Sawada nodded, he saw Isamu Sakurada and Osamu Dazai running down the aisle leading to the arena, and he, like other staff, began to point out the location of the safe passage for the guests, and then checked whether there was still room in the box. There are other guests.

After confirming that all the guests in the box had been evacuated, Sawada Tsunayoshi ran over in the direction where Dazai and Sakurada had left.

To run from the VIP box to the arena, you need to go through two stairwells. The lights in the stairwell broke down at some point. After stepping inside, the first step down the stairs was so dark that you could hardly see your fingers. Although Tsunayoshi Sawada There is a more convenient way to illuminate the stairwell, but in order to prevent any suspicion of exposure, he had to take out the mobile phone he bought a few days ago from his pants pocket and turn on the flashlight mode.

However, when the light in the flashlight mode shined on the stairwell from the mobile phone, Tsunayoshi Sawada couldn't help but froze in place. He suddenly stopped the foot that was about to go down the stairs, and quickly retracted it.

Following the beam of light emitted by the mobile phone, he saw that the place where there should be steps in front of him was actually an empty darkness, and only half of the steps he was standing on were left. There are obviously broken cracks.

How is this going?

Sawada Tsunayoshi has never walked through this passage since he worked at Ric.But obviously, this stairwell could never have looked like this in the first place.

So what happened to Osamu Dazai and Isamu Sakurada who ran here just now?

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on the forehead of Sawada Tsunayoshi.He hastily squatted down, and the hand holding the mobile phone took a step closer to the darkness.

Theoretically speaking, if only the stairs here have collapsed, you can see the rubble piled up below when you illuminate it from this distance, but when he took his mobile phone to the dark gap, there was nothing at all. invisible.If he hadn't been able to see the light from the phone, he would almost have thought there was something wrong with his eyes.

"Mr. Sakurada! Mr. Dazai!—" He shouted towards the gap, but he could only hear his own voice echoing in the empty space.

No one responded.

The silent Sawada Tsunayoshi here could even hear the beating of his heart in his chest getting more and more violent.

Sweat wet the hair on his forehead, and Sawada Tsunayoshi felt a powerless suffocation for no reason. He began to suck in the air around him, but he still felt that there was an emptiness there, and he couldn't fill it no matter what. vacancy.

The light of the mobile phone suddenly disappeared at this time, and the surroundings were completely plunged into darkness. The darkness hit too suddenly. Sawada Tsunayoshi half-kneeled in the stairwell, his scalp was numb for a while, but he still suppressed the burst The discomfort that was about to ravage his limbs and bones, tried to check what was wrong with the phone, but no matter how he pressed the power button, the phone didn't respond at all.

As he pressed the switch button faster and faster, his breathing became more and more rapid, the sweat from his forehead had already slid down his cheeks to his chin, and a burst of rage that rarely appeared on weekdays hit hard his brain.

A hoarse growl escaped from Sawada Tsunayoshi's throat, he threw the phone aside vigorously, and raised his hand in the darkness where nothing could be seen.

That's ok. Can still light a flame.Yes, it can also light a fire.

With this in mind, even though he couldn't see anything, he still stared vigorously in the direction of raising his hand. The muscles all over his body were tensed and exerted all his strength, just for the light to appear on his chest. in sight.He waited for a short while, logically speaking, flames should have appeared in his hands at this moment.

No, but no.

Sawada Tsunayoshi waited and waited, but no matter how hard he tried to ignite the flame, there was still no flame that could illuminate the darkness in his hand.

"Don't leave me." He didn't know why he said such a sentence suddenly, and his body trembled uncontrollably at this moment.

"Please."

The vision in front of him suddenly began to blur. In the dimness, the darkness seemed to be dissipating little by little. He heard a loud bang when something landed on the ground, and his body couldn't help but fell backwards diagonally.

He could no longer see clearly what appeared in front of him, but he could vaguely hear the sound of pages clapping together.

When he opened his eyes again, Tsunayoshi Sawada's eyes ached from the too bright light in front of his eyes.He squinted his eyes again with some discomfort, and flapped his upper and lower eyelashes against each other for a moment before he finally got used to the light.

Then came a somewhat familiar voice that was still rippling up and down: "Ah, wake up~"

After a moment of brain shutdown, Sawada Tsunayoshi realized that it was Osamu Dazai's voice.He struggled to jump up from the bed, turned his head in a panic, and as expected, met the smiling face of Osamu Dazai who was resting his cheeks.

Tsunayoshi Sawada looked around, and found that this was the staff dormitory he had been living in recently, just above Ric's.

"What's wrong with me?" He heard the hoarseness of his voice overflowing from his throat, and it could even remind people of the harsh music of crude and cheap instruments.

Osamu Dazai picked up the kettle on the side cabinet, poured a cup of water that seemed to be still hot, and handed it to Tsunayoshi Sawada: "Here, drink it first."

Sawada Tsunayoshi took the water, stared at the rippling water in the glass for a while, and then drank it slowly. After the warm liquid trickled down his throat and into his body, he finally felt much better Then he looked at Osamu Dazai again.

"Actually, Mr. Sawada, you passed out in the stairwell." Osamu Dazai seemed to lower the corner of his mouth with a curved face.

Talking about the stairwell, Sawada Tsunayoshi recalled the helpless sense of collapse in the stairwell just now, as if half of the world had been destroyed.He couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, and he hadn't quite gotten over the aftertaste of that dread. "What's that about?" he asked.

"Hmm." Osamu Dazai pondered for a while, "If you mean why the stairs suddenly collapsed, it's because of a different ability, a different ability."

Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't even put the first emphasis on the supernatural power, but grabbed another vocabulary: "collapse?"

"Yes." Osamu Dazai nodded, "Half of the stairs collapsed because of the supernatural power, and the stairs below were all broken into pieces and piled up together. If you accidentally walk up, you will definitely sprain your feet. After all, the stairs The lights in the room were also broken because of the supernatural power."

Sawada Tsunayoshi suddenly felt goosebumps, and he hurriedly asked, "Where did you find me?"

"When I found Mr. Sawada, Mr. Sawada was lying on the half-broken steps." Dazai Osamu fumbled in his pocket, and then found a broken mobile phone with the tempered film dropped, "By the way, this mobile phone is Sawada Sir, I tried to turn on the phone, but I don’t know if it’s out of battery or broken, but I can’t turn it on anyway.”

Sawada Tsunayoshi hurriedly pulled away the quilt and jumped off the bed.

Seeing that Tsunayoshi Sawada put on the shoes on the ground, and then began to put on a coat, Osamu Dazai stood up quickly: "Hey—you."

What Osamu Dazai said alone is not enough.Intuition told Sawada Tsunayoshi that there seemed to be something important that he had forgotten, and he had to go to that stairwell now to look again.
