Himeya felt that Matsunaga Kaichiro was about to integrate into this paradise life and become a part of this twisted foreign object.

"Let me tell you, people with the same pain are here, living quietly."

Matsunaga Kaichiro, a man of sensible age, caressed the dirty cardboard home as if it were a treasure.

"Any place that gathers people who share the same dream can become a paradise at any time. The reason why we are like students again is because we have lost too much."

However, in Ji Yaquan's eyes, this place is nothing more than a garbage mountain where faulty machinery is discarded. It is a human garbage dump in a big city filled with dead bodies.

"...Is there a dream here?"

"It is a kind of romance to die quietly like a lamp that has run out of oil."

If you look closely, you will find that there is no one in the shack, and there is a very fresh dark black stain on the concrete floor.

The residents living here are probably dead.

Even though Ji Ya intended to keep a calm expression, he couldn't help but turned his face in disgust. Even if it was covered up beautifully with the sound of bells, this is what death is like.

"It's time like this. How about you make up your mind to live here."

"What a joke!"

Ji Yajun shouted loudly that Matsunaga asked Ichiro to call this place a paradise waiting for death. However, Ji Yajun had no reason to devote his life to satisfying the fantasy that "paradise is the terminal".

This dimly lit paradise exudes the stench of decay, is ugly and cowardly... Therefore, Ji Yajun finds it difficult to agree with Matsunaga Kaichiro's helpless attitude.

At this time, a weak earthquake came from a distance, shaking the ground beneath his feet. Ji Ya, who was standing there stupidly, was wondering, 'Is this also a characteristic of underground hollows? ' At the moment, Matsunaga Kaichiro grabbed his sleeve forcefully. Ji Yajun looked down and saw that Matsunaga Kaichiro's face looked pale.

"Hide quickly. It will be bad if those guys see you."

Even though Ji Yajun wanted to find out what happened, Matsunaga Kaichiro remained silent, his lips were trembling, and he just lowered his head and pulled Ji Yajun away quickly.

At the same time, because of this noise, the people living in the underground cave began to make noises. They poked their heads out of the cardboard shacks that had not been washed for an unknown period of time, looking uneasy. Every face expressed despair and understanding. between them, wonderfully twisted.

At this time, the turbid air surged into waves as if it was providing the breath for millions of invisible beasts. Even the walls of the underground cavity were trembling weakly. Something was constantly coming from the depths of the shadow. Approaching, Hime Yashun grabbed Matsunaga Kaichiro's sleeve and said in a solemn voice:

"Mr. Matsunaga, let's find a way to return to the ground together. For the sake of your daughter!"

"You...you really don't give up...she is already an excellent adult and can do well by herself."

Matsunaga Kaichiro, who was mentally prepared, had a calm expression on his face, but one eyebrow twitched involuntarily.

"I just want to spend the rest of my life quietly here. No one will disturb me. What a peaceful life."

In a spacious tunnel connected to an underground cavity, the roar of a motor sounded, and then the sound of machinery, as neat as the operation of a factory's production line, slowly came closer and closer.

"Help, help..."

The screams of dying people were heard from the inside of the tunnel that was beyond the reach of the eyes. Then, there was a scream that could not be imagined to be made by humans, and there was a strange sound like several bones being crushed together and the soul being stripped away.

That was probably the initial victim.

Without paying attention to the wailing that blocked the ears, the sound of running like a sweeper came closer one by one, and the sound of the rotating motor gradually approached. After only a few seconds, the screams before death suddenly stopped.

Ji Yajun's body temperature dropped due to nervousness, but there was sticky sweat all over his body. When he realized that something existing in the depths of the darkness was trampling on a human life, Ji Yajun's breathing could not help but pause a little.

Suddenly, many red light spots lit up on the opposite side of the darkness.

The first thing that appeared in the dim light was a clean metal box with a side length of about one meter, which formed a contrast with the unkempt paradise residents.

There are four boxes like this. They are simply connected together to form a snake-shaped mechanical device with a length of four meters. It squirms while invading the underground cavity. The bottom of each box-shaped unit is equipped with small rolling wheels. The robots attached to the white box use wheels to move around the park as if gliding.

In addition, the white machine is equipped with two bladed rollers at the forefront, ruthlessly tearing apart the handmade shacks built on the path forward.

The house made of cardboard was caught between the constantly rotating molars of the machine, and was crushed into pieces with a crunching sound. The crushed small garbage would be pushed into the trash can above the front unit as it is. I'm afraid this is the structure. .

"stop!"

Hiroyuki Misawa showed an angry expression like a child and ran towards the cleaning robot.

At this time, Ji Yazhun still couldn't understand the situation.

The two mechanical devices raised their heads like snakes and lifted the unit at the front. They attacked Hiroyuki Misawa and then turned the roller again.

The first thing that was entangled was the clothes, and then the soft arms that were neither fat nor thin. After that, the mechanical device that swallowed the human body heard the sound of pulling tendons and breaking bones. Ji Yaquan's mind just surged with "I want to "Go save him", and then his consciousness was bound by the survival instinct.

Hiroyuki Misawa's body up to his shoulders was caught in the machinery, and in the blink of an eye, his head was caught in the roller.

At the moment when a faint snapping sound was heard, Ji Ya realized that something irreversible had happened before him. The man's body turned into a lifeless piece of flesh that would never move again, and was sent to the mouth of the mechanical device. The scene was comparable to being swallowed by a giant python.

At this time, because Hiroyuki Misawa's belly was too fat and blocked the drum, the bladed metal gear rotated violently in order to dig out the flesh around the deceased man's waist, cut it into a size that could pass through the machine, and flow out His intestines were wrapped around the roller, and then he was sucked in quickly, like eating thick noodles.

"Let him go..."

Someone whispered as if praying, until the stuck abdomen slowly disappeared into the depths of the drum while splattering blood. In these thirty seconds, which was like a nightmare, more than twenty people, including Ji Yajun himself, , vomited everything in his stomach on the spot.

Rumble, rumble, rumble -

The inner wall of the trash can above the mechanism made a new sound as it hit something the size of a human body.

The fat body of the middle-aged man, who was walking around lively, was now cut into small pieces that were unrecognizable and stuffed into the clean box.

Himeya's energy to escape was deprived of the mechanical device's blood-stained white shell, and he stared blankly.

There are no traces of the human being named Hiroyuki Misawa who once lived. The miserable way of death stimulates Ji Yaquan's nerves and endocrine glands, causing tears to overflow.

The strange sound of human beings being crushed like household garbage thrown into a garbage disposal truck lingered in his ears for a long time, and he longed to drive it away.

"Hiroyuki Misawa!"

Accompanied by cries of grief, several men picked up lamps and furniture at hand and attacked the killing machines. The man in the blue woolen hat who took away Hime's digital camera rushed towards the snake that had eaten Hiroyuki Misawa. A type of machine used an iron rod to smash the joints between boxes. The metal products hit each other, making a high-pitched and sharp sound.

In an instant, white smoke shot out from the cubic unit composed of mechanical devices.

"It's poison gas, run away!"

Matsunaga asked Ichiro to take Hime Jun's hand and back away from the murderous sweeper. Hime Jun imitated the residents and covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and also pressed the handkerchief upwards desperately.

"What the hell is going on!"

"It's those guys!"

Matsunaga Kaichiro seemed to have come to his senses and cried loudly and threw out these words.

"Who are those guys!"

The shouting Himeya Jun, led by Matsunaga Kaichiro, rushed towards a tunnel extending from the paradise. The dark road echoed with the rapid footsteps of everyone. They must have been one step ahead.

Darkness reveals the incomprehensible fears of human beings. Nowadays, killing machines are closing in, and the worst possible future may be lurking on the other side just out of reach. Whether you run away or stop, you will go straight to hell anyway.

Deep in the tunnel, you couldn't even see anything ten centimeters ahead. Slowly, the terrifying roar of the motor coming from there got closer and closer, and a breathless scream sounded again in the distance.

At this time, a red flash of light reflected on the edge of Matsunaga Kaichiro's glasses without warning. In an instant, he immediately realized that the light was emitted by the sensor aimed at them.

"Run!"

Ji Yajun warned him with a voice that was so dry that it was almost smoking. If they were caught by this light, Ji Yajun and the others would be rolled into the roller and die like Hiroyuki Misawa.

But even if he used up all his remaining strength to escape, the light spots kept chasing up along the wall. Himeya's legs, which had been running too much before arriving at the paradise, were now as heavy as lead.

The tracker's mark still doubled in size, like red mosquitoes flying near the wall, and the disgust made people's hair stand on end.

"Go this way!"

Matsunaga asked Ichiro to pull Ji Yazhun and run towards Xiaocha Road. They held their breath and squatted in the shelter, like escaping insects.

Groups of red laser rays streaked across the wall above our heads. They are exactly like livestock destined to die in a meat processing factory, and the mechanical device is like a machine for processing meat.

"That is?"

"It's cleaning up the trash."

Matsunaga Kaichiro answered as if it was a matter of course.

"Because according to external reports, there are no people in this kind of place at all. The authorities felt that the extraterritoriality of the park was very difficult, so they sent them here. They are probably similar to hunting dogs."

As cogs of society, they work hard, and when they are frustrated, they flock to paradise. Then, Matsunaga Kaichiro and others are given the mission of being treated as garbage and disposed of by the authorities. This cruelty makes Himeya feel dizzy.丒

Previously, they were just creating a "paradise" culture by ringing bells for their dead companions, trying to give some meaning to this barren life. But would this be a form of resistance that the residents were unable to do?

The sound of the running machines of killing finally came from the depths of the forked road where they were hiding. The sound of wheels of the white mechanical devices approaching from three directions gradually narrowed the circle of encirclement.

"Run away!"

A sharp sound tore through the tunnel. Himeya directed them to crawl out of the stagnant darkness where they couldn't see anything. Several people surrounded the mechanical device, and the homeless people in the dominant position distilled their hatred and excitement into curses that shook the concrete floor.

Then, the sounds of breaking bones, tearing muscles, a slow sound that made people want to cover their ears, and inaudible shouts continued to sound behind Ji Yazhun...

And even if you escape and run away, you can only return to the original paradise. At this time, the cardboard shacks under the high ceilings have all been destroyed, and several mechanical devices are lingering in the center of the underground cavity.

At the same time, the tense sound that added load to the motor caused the atmosphere filled with the smell of blood to vibrate. The rear parts of the four box-shaped units connected by the mechanical device were lifted upward in a sliding manner at right angles. Perhaps the full trash cans are stored inside the third unit.

Then, the brand new trash can was thrown out from the last unit and connected with the front unit. In a clean state before any new garbage was loaded, it was fully automated and ready to mince countless people again. At the same time, this is also the end of the journey for Matsunaga Kaichiro and the others.

As before, the underground cavity was filled with dark spots, with some new blood stains added to them.

Ji Yajun didn't want to treat this place where the floor was about to be dyed black as a paradise, but because he had read the work diary, he knew that Matsunaga asked Ichiro to work hard and go through all kinds of troubles to get to this place. Despite this, they were in a weak position, but they were crushed, and even the last bit of blood and sweat was sucked away.

"Why, why don't we just breathe easy?"

Matsunaga Kaichiro glared angrily at the intruders who continued to brutally destroy Anle. Perhaps the residents who had drifted to Paradise like him came out of the tunnel and gathered in the underground cave again.

Someone complained, "Have I been fooled again?" This voice poured cold water on Ji Yazhun's impassioned indignation.

"Let's run away."

Himeya tugged at Matsunaga Hazuki's father's sleeve. Matsunaga Kaichiro didn't speak, as if he understood everything, he looked back at him silently.

The defeated man picked up the iron pipes used as furniture in the shack. Maybe a life-and-death battle was about to begin. His hands were shaking involuntarily due to extreme excitement.

"Ji Yazhun, it's dangerous here. Run away."

A flattened blue beanie, stained with blackened blood, lay on the ground next to the demolished cardboard shack.

"Where is Mr. Ichiro, Matsunaga?"

"I want to fight."

The man who was driven from the boring life on earth to paradise grabbed Ji Yajun's shoulder with such force that Ji Yajun felt a little pain.

"If you can get back to the ground, tell my daughter."

Ji Yazhun also understood that this would be an eternal farewell in this life.

"What can I say?"

"Tell her I'm happy."

Paradise is the terminal. There is nothing further down here, so they must fight. At least for the residents, there are partners in paradise who have the same wounds.

Different from the actual death in a nursing home or hospice hospital, here there is the illusory romance of being sent away by the sound of bells and more than a hundred lights.

The men, who couldn't even lick each other's stinking festering wounds, let out a final roar. Even Ji Yajun, who was supposed to be an outsider, was impressed by the momentum of this angry wave and was attracted by the enthusiasm. As they approach death, their faces show a vague charm, they simply marvel at the potential of life and shrink back.

Matsunaga Kaichiro forcefully pushed Himeya towards the particularly old and narrow horizontal hole.

"Go!"

The reason why he obeyed was because Ji Yazhun had no reason to die for Paradise, and it was also related to the fact that he noticed that his shoes were stepping in a pool of blood as big as a human being. Although it was not clear whether he could be saved, he still ran with all his strength. .

Before he rushed into the dark tunnel, he quickly looked back at the underground hollow. Abandoned by the life on earth, the men who abandoned the earth had their delirious faces flushed red. At the same time, they swung iron rods towards the killing machines.

At this time, Ji Yaquan felt something. He felt that he should not run away like this. He came with a camera. He was a reporter. Although the camera had been taken away, he could go and find the camera. Record the way these people hiding in the so-called paradise are fighting to protect their last paradise.

At the same time, Ji Yazhun also felt that something was shining in his heart, and that light was constantly telling him that things should not be like this, and he should fight, but his battlefield was not in this dark cave. Here, his opponents should not be those terrifying killing machines, but the enemies hidden deeper, still hidden in the unknown.

However, Ji Yazhun's excitement did not last long. Somehow, he suddenly lost all his courage and ran away. Behind him, only a green afterglow flashed...

How did I escape from the darkness? Ji Yazhun couldn't remember it at all. But he felt that as long as everything appeared on the ground, it would be over. While being disturbed by the echo, he staggered through the lonely corridor and opened the metal door that led to an unknown place.

The place looked familiar, the fluorescent lamps cast a white light from the low ceiling, it was an underground street that would soon return to the ground. No one cared that the exhausted Ji Yajun sat down on the ground. Judging from the signs, he had gone far enough to reach the underground of Tokyo Station. He took out his cell phone from his pocket to check the time. It was not yet six in the morning.

Only then did Ji Yazhun remember that his mobile phone also had a camera function, and even leaving a photo as evidence would be great. He really regretted it, but he knew very well in his heart that in fact, what he was thinking about was whether he could use 'actually something' No excuse to treat everything like a nightmare?

‘Let’s go quickly’

Ji Yazhun heard a low voice in his heart, which seemed to be urging him to leave some memories and face the cruel reality. But he could get there as long as he went back, but he knew that he would never open it again. Hime could not understand the thoughts of Matsunaga Kaichiro who called this door paradise.

Although he left the sentence "Bring me a message to her, just say that I am living a happy life." But how should Ji Yazhen report to his family? When talking to Mr. Matsunaga Kaichiro, if he had a little Taking a small step is tantamount to agreeing with all this. By then, he will also become a person who wants to "go to paradise."

Ji Yaquan's legs, which had been running all night, used their last strength to persevere again. When he thought that the underground he was in now was also connected to the paradise, he felt frightened and his breathing became rapid. It was as if he was under the water. If he continued Stay a little longer and you'll drown.

With the idea of ​​​​getting to the ground as soon as possible and going to a peaceful place, he took steps. While searching for the exit signs, he squatted under the nearest stairs where he could feel the sunlight.
