"My meat bun..."
Itsuki lowered his head and kept looking.
At this time she was still thinking about the meat bun, obviously personal safety was more important!
"Don't look for your meat buns, I'll buy you ten later." Naoki pulled Itsuki, "Be careful not to fall."
There was chaos on the train.
Passengers were like headless chickens, running from the back of the train, if they were knocked down by someone at this moment, there would very likely be a stampede.
The sheep's head effect also applies to humans, for example, a group of people are walking on the street, and suddenly one person looks at the sky, as a result everyone will look at the sky, except for the blind.
When everyone was running together, if someone fell to the ground, as long as the first person stepped on them, the person behind would step on them subconsciously… Of course, this kind of situation did not occur in the train.
During the morning rush hour, the trains are packed with passengers. At this time, the train stopped in the middle of the road due to an emergency, and the doors were not opened. Everyone was crammed into a group, unable to run even if they wanted to. Many passengers had broken windows and jumped out of windows.
"Have you seen that freak?" Naoki asked.
"I do not see it." Yotsuba shook her head nervously, "I just saw a lot of people running around, screaming as they ran, saying that someone had committed murder with a knife."
"It seems that there is no one in the train behind." Ichika whispered "Are we going to jump out the window too?"
Don't joke, unless Yotsuba can land safely, you all can't do it. Don't blame people for not seeing it, but instead harm yourself!
"What kind of window did you jump through, you stay here and don't move." Naoki immediately said, "I'll go and see that clown."
Several girls objected one after another.
"Stupid Asakawa, don't go."
"Too dangerous."
"That clown man still has a knife in his hand, and it is said that he has killed dozens of people in a row."
Where did this rumor come from, even if it is a wooden human, it can't kill dozens of people in just a few minutes!
While talking, several more passengers came running from the rear compartment. While running, they looked back in panic. One of the girls was wearing the same high school uniform as the Quintuplets, and her face looked quite familiar.
Nino blinked, and muttered to herself: "I think I've seen her somewhere..."
"Natsumi senpai?!"
Yotsuba's expression changed, and she exclaimed.
The high school girl who heard the screams suddenly stopped, her face was pale, and she clutched her chest and couldn't help gasping: "Yotsuba, you are also here?"
"I've seen it before." Naoki looked at Nino who was standing beside him, and whispered, "That's the third year senior from the basketball club, that we peeked at."
"Excessive." Nino gently nudged Naoki with his elbow "Playing basketball is nothing to be ashamed of, peeping sounds obscene."
"You were obviously very excited back then…"
"You still say!"
"Natsumi senpai, are you okay?" Yotsuba asked nervously, "Are there any wounds?"
"I'm fine." Natsumi's face was pale and her chest was rising and falling non-stop, "Yesterday I was late for reading, after getting on the train, I fell asleep with Amano-chan, and when I woke up, I saw a man dressed as a clown, walking with a knife in his hand, and there was blood on his face…"
Yotsuba's expression changed: "Where's Amano-senpai?"
"Eh?" Natsumi was surprised "Isn't that right behind me..."
Natsumi turned her head and looked back, and quickly opened her eyes wide: "Eh, where is Amano-chan?!"
Naoki and a few girls looked towards the empty back compartment. Since Amano didn't follow, she was clearly left behind.
Then think of a strange man with a knife behind...
Natsumi's face was even paler, and her body trembled: "I thought Amano was right behind me, I didn't know she was gone."
"Asakawa-san..."
Yotsuba bit her lower lip, and looked at Naoki.
Naoki nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I'll look for it."
Natsumi looked surprised.
Knowing that there was a clown man in the back compartment, he still dared to go there. How brave is this junior?
To be honest, let him risk his life and run back to save others… He didn't even know how he would choose.
"I will also go."
With a firm tone, Yotsuba made a choice.
Ichika raised her hand and said, "And me."
Nino hands in front of his chest: "Everyone go there together."
Miku nodded calmly, "Let's go together."
Nino and Miku were the least worried. When Nino and his friends were drinking at KTV and accidentally became the target of some yakuza members, it was much more dangerous than it is now. As long as Naoki was by her side, she wouldn't be afraid at all.
Natsumi was taken aback: "Aren't these people... fearless?"
Naoki had quickened his pace and walked quickly to the empty back compartment, he didn't know what the situation would be now, so he had to hurry.
The Quintuplets followed closely behind Naoki.
Seeing this sight, Natsumi bit her lower lip, and also stepped up to follow.
The lights on the train were bright, but no one was inside, which looked quite strange and scary.
"Please let me go..."
Naoki passed three trains, and heard the sound of crying coming into his ears.
"That's Amano-senpai's voice!"
Yotsuba quickly shouted.
"Amano-chan!"
Naoki's eyes were fixed, his feet suddenly accelerated, and he passed through the remaining two trains and arrived at the crash site.
A girl in a high school uniform fell to the ground, throwing her body backwards in despair. In front is a man dressed as a clown from DC comics, wearing a dark blue suit, green shirt, tie, and a face wearing clown makeup, holding a bloody knife in his right hand, and holding a cigarette in his left hand, he is smoking.
Behind the clown, there was an old man lying face down in a pool of blood, his clothes already covered in blood.
At first glance Naoki knew that this clown didn't smoke.
Inhale and exhale directly, without going through the lungs at all.
"There she is."
Naoki spoke in a deep voice, attracting the clown's attention.
The clown who was about to attack with a knife was stunned, and looked at Naoki in surprise. Apparently he didn't expect anyone to dare to come forward at this time.
Amano turned his head with tears in his eyes, eyes wide, clearly recognizing Naoki.
While talking, several girls came running.
"Natsumi, Yotsuba!"
Natsumi who was sitting on the ground screamed in joy, but it was a pity that the clown was right in front of her, and she didn't dare to move at all.
"Why do you want to hurt others?" Yotsuba were furious.
The man in the clown's clothes was slightly silent, and said indifferently: "Life is very boring, I feel that my body is decaying every day, I want to be put to death."
"That's no reason to hurt anyone!"
"That is, if you don't want to live, you can choose to go to the sea of trees in Aokigahara. Why do you want to hurt other people?"
"Please don't hurt Amano-chan."
Several girls spoke one after another.
Naoki put his hands in his pockets and said calmly, "He's just scared."
"Hah?" The strange clown frowned, "Kid, what are you talking about?"
"It is not like that?" Naoki's eyes were disdainful, as if he was looking at a non-recyclable kitchen waste, "You know very well that even if the death penalty is imposed, there's a high chance it won't be executed, right?"
"Since you want to seek death, you can go to extreme organizations and lending companies to trouble you. Not only can you eliminate the loss to people, but you can also achieve your wish, killing two birds with one stone."
"But you chose to attack the old man and woman on the train. You are just a coward who only bullies the weak."
Japan's death penalty system is a joke. For example, the KyoAni arsonist, a world-class crime, is heinous. However, to this day, he was still safe and sound. If it was in China, he would have been shot a hundred times.
There will be a very long "delay" from the death penalty to the actual execution. According to statistics, the average time is 8 years. But in reality, criminals who have been sentenced to death but not executed for decades, and there are still many people.
The reason is mainly related to the implementation system.
The death penalty execution order must be signed by the Minister of Justice himself. Once signed, the execution will be carried out within five days. It seems that the Minister of Justice "killed with his own hands", which is taboo for many people.
In addition, the term of office of the Minister of Justice is generally very short, usually only one year, and will be replaced after his term ends, so many Ministers of Justice experience "delays", that is, if they don't sign, they will procrastinate. Hand over the signing to the next Minister of Justice, and clean your hands, why not do it?
Incidentally the next Minister of Justice had the same idea. During his tenure, many people did not sign the execution order. As a result, most people who are sentenced to death can often postpone it for several years or decades. There are even more death row convicts who die in prison than who are executed.
"What do you know, boy?" The clown pointed directly at him with a knife, his face full of anger after being exposed, "Buckled by seniors in the company, my girlfriend was snatched away by others, every day in life is pain and suffering, you don't even know."
Damn it! There are even girlfriends, now there are middle-aged men who have never dated a girl in their 40s. You can find a girlfriend, and you say you're a loser in life!
"I don't ..."
Naoki wanted to say no, but looked at the Quintuplets behind him, and swallowed back his words, saying that he was not single, and always felt that he would be beaten.
While talking, sirens whistled in the distance, and the police, who had always been sluggish, arrived late again.
The clown's face was gloomy, and he pointed at Naoki with a bloody knife in his hand, and said with a sneer:
"Now I will give you a choice. I will count to ten, and you come replace this girl, or I will kill her."
Hearing this sentence, the faces of the two seniors couldn't help changing, and neither of them spoke.
The killer was clearly enraged, Naoki would definitely be killed if he got any closer, and he sacrificed his life to save others... Nothing's that stupid, right?
"Ten..."
The clown starts counting down.
"No need to count." Naoki said in a deep voice with a serious expression "I promise you."
"What?"
The strange clown looked taken aback, thinking he was having an auditory hallucination.
This male high school student actually agreed?
The two third year seniors were also shocked, looking at Naoki in disbelief.
"I will be there." Naoki raised his hand, and walked towards the clown with dignity, "Let go of Amano-senpai."
The clown only felt a little confused.
Between life and death, will the endless ugliness of human nature be exposed?
Is this high school student not afraid of death at all?
Staring at the tear-stained face, "crazyly" looking at the high school girl, the clown immediately realized: "I see."
"You like this girl."
"Even willing to lay down his life for her!"
Naoki: "😐"
I haven't said much, how can I like her!
There is only one truth that promises to 'sacrifice', and that is the monitoring system inside the train. If there was no monitoring system, Naoki would have snapped his fingers and brought the clown to his knees and called him Daddy long ago!
"Eh?" Natsumi turned her head in surprise, "Asakawa actually likes Amano-chan?"
Amano who was kneeling on the ground, his face was red, his heartbeat increased involuntarily, and she couldn't help thinking wildly: "Isn't it Yotsuba that Asakawa likes? Why do you like me? You are willing to sacrifice your life for yourself?"
Naoki was already walking in front of the clown, without changing his face he said:
"I'm here. According to the agreement, let Amano senpai go."
The clown hesitated for a few seconds, and took the knife from Amano:
"Too bad, you are such a bold person…"
"There is a defect."
Naoki's eyes were fixed, and he took advantage of the moment the clown got distracted, grabbed his opponent's wrist, and then there was a sharp over-the-shoulder throw.
*BAM*
There was a loud noise, the train seemed to shake, and the clown screamed.
Naoki kicked the Knife in the clown's hand, then used standard police wrestling techniques to pin the clown straight to the ground.
This person was just an ordinary person who had no fighting ability at all. After knocking down the knife in his hand, Naoki could easily subdue him.
Too bad there's no if. When faced with danger, it is human nature to choose to flee.
That's why standing is a rare quality.
At the same time.
Several police finally rushed in after the matter was over.
"Put down your weapon, let's catch it!"
...
The rest is simple. The clown was immediately handcuffed, and the murder weapon was confiscated. There were a lot of witnesses, so imprisonment was inevitable. It is not known whether he will be executed. Even if he was punished, he would be executed immediately, the probability was also very low.
"Amano!"
"Amano-chan, are there any injuries?"
"Finally safe."
Several girls gathered around Amano.
"I'm fine. When I was running away just now, I suddenly tripped over my foot, and only my leg hurt." shook his head with lingering fear, then raised his eyes to look at Naoki, his eyes lit up, and she was very grateful, "Asakawa, thank you just now."
He was actually willing to risk his life for herself, and the only way to repay this kindness was to use the body!
