This aura is deadly

Chapter 676 Kamurocho in 1991

In the darkness, the woman in kimono was confronting Chen Ke, but Chen Ke did not feel the murderous intent. Others around him suddenly became silent. In a blink of an eye, the subway station was empty except for Chen Ke and the woman.

Chen Ke pointed his gun at her and hesitated whether to pull the trigger. At this moment, the woman suddenly turned around and walked toward the passage stairs on the right.

"gone……?"

Chen Ke was stunned, not knowing what she was up to, but his intuition told him that this woman wanted him to follow her.

He groped in the darkness, testing his feet as he followed the woman's footsteps to catch up.

At this time, the light in the subway station slowly returned to normal, and the pale yellow light shone down from the dark sky. After a few seconds, the ceiling and incandescent lamps appeared in front of us. The decoration style in the platform changed, and the stand hanging on the wall The equipment was missing, and the green and orange route indicator lines decorated on the floor and walls turned into a faded light red.

The black figure slowly appeared next to him, and quickly transitioned from the shadow state to the real person. Chen Ke quickly put the weapon back. The next second, the harsh whistling sound of the subway came from the depths of the tunnel, and people around him were bustling. flow of people.

"This is..." Chen Ke said to himself. The people around him were dressed very contemporary. He looked up at the station announcer. The place was right, it was Shinjuku Station...

Chen Ke squeezed through the crowd and arrived at the stairs at the subway exit. His eyes swept across the crowd, and his left eye caught the woman in a white kimono, who was standing on the stairs waiting for him.

He stepped up the steps step by step. The sunlight at the exit was shining brightly. When he saw Chen Ke following, the woman turned and left. Chen Ke let his eyes adjust for a while, then ran up quickly and stood there. At the entrance of the subway station.

This is the street of Shinjuku, but it looks older than before. The traffic lights are flashing, a large number of people are waiting on the roadside, and medieval-style vehicles are rushing through the intersection. Everything is in order, but for some reason, there is something strange on the road. The people looked very tired and depressed.

The woman in kimono was in the distance. She walked slowly through the busy street. The car passed through her body as if passing through a phantom. Chen Ke followed in a hurry, and the passers-by around him looked at him strangely.

As Chen Ke walked, he observed the unfamiliar streets under the bright sun. He noticed that there were many bankrupt stores on the surrounding streets, and there were also many unfinished buildings around them. After half of them were built, a building was left in the open space. The venue was not even surrounded.

He passed by a large shopping mall, and the TV wall in the street window was playing the midday news. Chen Ke took a glance and noticed the time on it, which was May 3rd, 2006, 2 p.m.

Heisei 3 years...

Chen Ke frowned. He happened to know some knowledge about Japanese era names. After all, there was a joke on the Internet called "Showa men, Heisei waste."

To understand this joke, you must understand what the era name is.

The reign name is a chronological recording system initiated by the monarch in the feudal era. Emperors of the past dynasties generally had to change their reign names when encountering major events such as "auspicious fortune from heaven" or internal strife and external troubles.

An emperor may have at least one reign title, or as many as a dozen. Emperors in the Ming and Qing Dynasties mostly had one reign title, so later generations used their reign title as the title of the emperor, such as Emperor Yongle, Emperor Yongzheng, etc.

If the previous emperor dies in the middle of the year, the successor will still use the current era name and change it after the New Year.

This was originally a system used in ancient times by Chen Ke's homeland in the original timeline, but it was learned by neighboring countries such as Japan and South Korea.

Showa and Heisei are the reign names of the two emperors of Japan. The Showa period began in 1926 and ended in 1989. During this period, Japan experienced the Second World War, which brought suffering to its surrounding countries and also caused great harm to its surrounding countries. He bore the price.

After the war, facing the ruins of their homeland, the Japanese began to work desperately. Under various historical opportunities, Japan's economic development started in 1985 like a rocket. The land price in Tokyo was once able to buy the entire United States.

This is the so-called Japanese bubble economy period. The Japanese people of that era were full of vigor and wealth, and the loose economic environment made everyone full of confidence in the future. This is also the origin of the so-called "Showa Man".

After 1989, the emperor changed his throne and Japan changed its era name to Heisei. Starting from this year, after the bubble economy reached its peak, it suddenly fell back. Until February 1991, Japan's economic growth suddenly stopped directly, and then began to experience a major recession.

Many people's lives have been shattered. Real estate prices have plummeted. Office workers who took out high-priced loans to buy houses during the bubble saw their real estate values ​​collapse overnight and had to continue to repay their loans despite a sharp drop in wages or even unemployment. Many Small companies and large financial groups addicted to buying properties also went bankrupt due to the break in their capital chain and the collapse of their stock prices.

The housing prices during the bubble period are completely incomparable with the housing prices after the 1990s. Even if people who bought houses at that time sold all their properties, they would not be able to repay 10% of the loans that year...

From the 1990s to 2000, Japan's economy has been in a state of stagnation. Social classes have been deeply solidified, the market has no vitality, and young people have lost their energy and dreams. They are addicted to two-dimensional culture all day long, earning dead wages and waiting to die. .

Because no matter how hard you work, the future cannot be changed, so hard work becomes meaningless. It is better to make yourself happy, and this is also the origin of the so-called "Heisei waste".

In the third year of Heisei, that is to say, it is now 1991, and Chen Ke was actually dragged to 18 years ago...

Looking at the surrounding situation, the Risei in 1991 may have been even worse than Japan's. After all, Japan was still at the end of the bubble economy in 1991. In 1991, when the Risei was in full swing, even the streets of Shinjuku were already experiencing large-scale unfinished business. The closure of buildings and shopping malls shows that the economic recession is coming earlier than expected.

This woman brought herself to 18 years ago. It was certainly not without reason, and she seemed to have no intention of harming anyone. Chen Ke followed this woman all the way on the street.

After walking back and forth for a long time, with the support of unlimited physical strength, Chen Ke actually stood at the entrance of Tenkaichi Ichiban Street in Kamurocho.

Suddenly a drizzle began to fall in the sky. Pedestrians on the street picked up newspapers and bags to cover their heads and hurriedly avoided the rain. Chen Ke followed the woman in white kimono to the low abandoned building complex that was supposed to be the Millennium Tower.

The woman's figure disappeared into the dark alley. Chen Ke looked at the situation on the street and felt that no one was paying attention to him, so he bent down and got in.

The alleys of these buildings are dark, and the distance between the walls on both sides is very close. When you walk deeper, you have to turn sideways, and the antennas above your head are tangled together, turning the sky into a thin white line.

After walking deep, there was a palm-sized open space in the middle, where lay a disembowelled female corpse...
