Anzhe raised his eyelids and looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Then let's go eat lobster."
"Okay, I haven't eaten seafood for a long time..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha's beautiful eyes slightly rolled up, and she looked at Anzhe with a smile: "You've worked hard today, so I'll give you some seafood to replenish your body."
Anzhe: “…”
I always feel like this girl is talking about some topics that are not suitable for teenagers...
The seafood market in Neon Country has sufficient resources, so the prices are not particularly expensive. Kasumigaoka Utaha called Machida Sonoko to come along, and when the food was served, the three people and one cat, who had been hungry for a day, began to eat it with relish.
After a big meal, the three of them returned to the publishing house to clean up the mess.
Anzhe was also helping, while Machida Yuanzi went to the top floor of the office building to take care of some trivial matters.
At this moment, Anzhe's eyes suddenly narrowed and he looked towards the door of the lobby on the first floor, where a woman about his age walked in.
Judging from her clothes, it was a girls' standard school uniform, so she seemed to be a high school student.
The reason why Anzhe noticed her immediately was because there were three demon spirits following her...
Is this something bad going on?
With his eyelids slightly raised, Anzhe withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at her.
However, the girl looked around and walked towards him.
Kasumigaoka Utaha also saw the girl at this time and was slightly startled. Then she greeted her softly, "Yumiko, you are here for the book signing event too."
Anzhe tilted his head slightly when he heard the title;
Yumiko...
This name sounds a little familiar.
After thinking for two seconds, Anzhe remembered;
Isn't this one of the members whose works were cut short that Kasumigaoka Utaha told him about that day?
No wonder there are so many negative emotions...
Anzhe thought to himself, but looked at the girl thoughtfully.
Although it is indeed sad that the work was cut short, it shouldn’t be so serious as to... attract so many evil spirits, right?
He stood silently aside, listening to the conversation between Kasumigaoka Utaha and the girl.
"Shiyu, I saw your book signing event. It was a great success..."
"Well...finally it worked."
"That's great... but unfortunately, my book..."
As the girl said this, a look of sadness and anger flashed across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and shook her head gently: "Forget it, let's not talk about that..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the girl who had joined the publishing house to write with her, and noticed that the girl looked a little lost, so she could only comfort her softly:
"I know your situation, it's okay, it's just a failure."
"I failed once..."
Youyouko murmured softly, but her eyes were much darker, and she whispered in an inaudible voice: "No...you don't know anything..."
"Huh? What did you just say?" Kasumigaoka Utaha asked curiously.
"…Nothing, Shiyu, I still have some things to do…"
"Well, okay then. Goodbye, Yumiko." Kasumigaoka Utaha waved with a smile.
The other party nodded gently, looked at the large curtain with "Xia Shizi Book Signing Event" on the background of the booth with a slightly complicated look, with a little envy and melancholy, and then lowered his head silently.
She turned around and looked towards the elevator of the office building;
As Anzhe's expression changed slightly, she whispered softly, as if she was about to face death!
"……goodbye."
……
Chapter 61 The Price of Innocence and Stupidity
For a moment, Anzhe felt something was wrong.
This girl named Yumiko seems to be in a bad mental state...
Could it be that he was under great stimulation?
Looking at Yumiko's back as she went upstairs, Anzhe was lost in thought until Kasumigaoka Utaha interrupted his thoughts.
"I'm done cleaning up. Wait here for me. I'm going upstairs to see how Ms. Machida's meeting went. We'll go home together in her car later."
"Ah."
Anzhe responded and walked to the rest area on the side and sat down, while Kasumigaoka Utaha went upstairs with some pens, paper and other things.
……
The twelfth floor of the office building is where the editorial department of the publishing house is located.
At this moment, all the people in the editorial department were having a meeting in the conference room on the 13th floor, and the entire 12th floor was empty.
The numbers on the elevator floor meter jumped slowly, and finally stopped when they reached twelve;
With a ding sound, the elevator door slowly opened and a short-haired girl in a high school uniform walked out of the elevator.
Youmeko had a calm face. She silently looked up at the surveillance camera in the corridor and walked into the editorial office with an unchanged expression.
She walked without stopping and finally walked directly into the innermost office. The sign on the door indicated that it was the editor-in-chief's office.
Without hesitation, Yumiko opened the door and walked in.
Then the girl stood silently in the room, her eyes dim and gloomy.
This is the office of Naotsugu Tanuma.
It was here that he promised Yumiko that as long as she did as he asked, he could increase the publication of her books and even make her the second popular writer like Kasumigaoka Utaha.
With a heart full of longing and innocence, she believed the words of that ugly man, but ultimately ended up falling into hell.
After playing with her, Naotsugu Tanuma even gave her to his nephew, Taiji Tanuma;
The dark life during that period made Tokuyoumi realize how serious a mistake she had made.
But it was too late to regret then, she had no way out, and so even more tragic things began;
Naotsugu Tanuma kept delaying his promise to her, saying that he was making arrangements, and asked her to speed up the writing of the work;
Not only that, he also asked the girl to give him the plot of the main plot of the work;
The naive girl, as if possessed, placed all her desire for fame on Naotsugu Tanuma, dreaming that one day she would become as famous as Kasumigaoka Utaha.
But what she finally waited for was that her work was ruthlessly cut short.
When she received the news and went to find Tanuma Naotsugu in a daze, she happened to hear the latter talking with Tanuma Taiji. It turned out that her work had been revised by those two and published abroad.
Naotsugu Tanuma had her original draft file and all the subsequent story designs in his hands. All he had to do next was to hire a ghostwriter to make some minor modifications and complete them before publishing them to make money.
Although the unknown works did not earn much money, the advantage was the large amount of works, because by taking advantage of their positions, the two of them crazily stole the works of many unknown authors;
Obviously, Yumiko was not their first target, but this girl was even more miserable...
When Youmiko learned the truth, she was struck by lightning. She fled the office building like crazy. After being depressed for several days, she finally returned here today.
Looking at the office in front of her, Yumiko could even imagine the sanctimonious look of Naotsugu Tanuma in the meeting room upstairs...
A deep hatred flashed in her eyes, and she silently took out a can of gasoline from her bag.
I have already paid the price for my naivety and stupidity. Apart from this miserable life, I have nothing left. Now it is time to make them pay the price too...
Gasoline was spilling all over the huge amount of manuscripts in the editorial office;
The girl took out a match and struck it lightly. A bright flame was reflected in her grey pupils.
Matches fell from the sky;
At this moment, suddenly an invisible force spread out from this floor, and the burning match stopped in mid-air!
An inexplicable whistling sound was heard in the air, as if some terrifying existence had awakened at this moment!
Invisible ripples suddenly spread out, and a light laugh suddenly sounded. The ripples suddenly disappeared, and along with them, Youmeko's figure also disappeared!
The space returned to normal, and the burning match in the air quickly fell down and landed on the paper doused with gasoline;
The orange-red flames suddenly rose up...
……
First floor lobby;
The black cat that had been staying beside Anzhe suddenly pricked up its ears and stood up with its fur slightly puffed up!
As it stood up, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from its body, making it look as fierce and powerful as a tiger.
"Anze!"
Anzhe, who was sitting on the sofa, noticed something was wrong with the black cat at the first moment and couldn't help but let out a low growl.
"Master...something happened. I didn't expect this place to be the sleeping place of a vicious demon..."
The black cat's pupils had shrunk to the size of needles, giving off a solemn and awe-inspiring feeling. "This evil monster has been sleeping for at least three years, so there was no breath at all. As a result, I didn't find any trace of it before, but just now... it woke up."
Anzhe narrowed his eyes slightly, "The sleeping place?"
"Well... after the evil monster has swallowed enough negative emotions, it will enter a dormant state. During this period, it will be completely impossible to sense its traces. When it wakes up, its strength will be at least twice as high as before it fell asleep!"
After listening to Black Cat's explanation, Anzhe finally understood why this place was so abnormal;
It's no wonder that the place where a ferocious monster sleeps attracts so many evil spirits to linger here.
This means that a lot of unimaginable evil deeds must have happened in this publishing house, which made many people angry and resentful, which led to the evil demon using this place as its lair, right?
Thinking of this, Anzhe's face also froze slightly;
This is a big joke, considering there are so many people here!
Just as he was thinking this, an alarm suddenly sounded in the office building, and then Anzhe heard someone shouting in panic:
"It's on fire! It's on fire!! The twelfth floor is completely on fire!!!"
After everyone was stunned for a second, their faces changed. Someone shouted loudly: "Quick! Call the fire department and organize the people upstairs to evacuate quickly!"
The floor began to shake slightly, as if the employees of the publishing house upstairs were quickly coming down the emergency stairs.
Anzhe's face darkened slightly;
Kasumigaoka Utaha and Machida Sonoko seem to be on...the thirteenth floor! ?
At this time, the black cat Anze also shouted: "Here it comes! The evil demon's territory is expanding!!"
Anzhe frowned, and golden light shone in his eyes. On the twelfth floor of the office building, surging invisible ripples appeared again and expanded rapidly...
……
Chapter 62 Mysterious
On the street, the voices of people became noisy.
Many people stood in the distance and looked up at the office building that was more than ten stories high.
Thick smoke continued to billow out from behind the windows of the building, and through the window glass, one could see flickering orange-red flames inside.
Someone there frowned and shook his head:
"Isn't this bad? The most common thing in the publishing house is paper, and the office area is separated by wooden boards. The fire must have spread completely..."
"Why did it suddenly catch fire? Was it due to aging circuits? Or was someone secretly smoking?"
"Who knows... The most important thing now is that there are still people upstairs. It won't be long before the fire spreads upstairs..."
"Yes, the people in the editorial department are holding a summary meeting for the book signing event upstairs..."
The people who came outside were talking constantly, and their brows were slightly raised as they looked at the twelfth floor with flames rising.
"Nothing will happen to them..."
