However, while thinking about it, Subaru Okiya looked around the "safety fortress" that he had carefully arranged these days, and then thought about the experience of being questioned by Police Officer Sato and almost taken away as a suspect...

Although he believed in Shuichi Akai, Okiya Subaru was a top student from a top school after all, and occasionally he had his own judgments.

He refused rationally: "I'm here, and I don't actually know anyone. I'm more familiar with the terrain in this area, I know where there are potential dangers nearby, and I have already ruled out some dangers.

"On the contrary, if you really move to an unfamiliar place, Uzo really needs to adapt to the new stage, but at the same time, I also have to adapt to the new environment. I... alas, I dare not bet that I will adapt faster than him."

Akai Shuichi looked around at Subaru Okiya's house through the scope while listening to the phone, and suddenly found that this engineering graduate student with strong hands-on ability really did not know when he secretly made a lot of hidden emergency mechanisms.

...If it wasn't for Okiya Subaru mentioning this, he really hadn't noticed it just now.

Thinking of this, Akai Shuichi thought to himself: Since he didn't notice it, maybe Uzo also accidentally planted it on this?

"Alright. Then you can stay."

Now that this temporary teammate has his own ideas, Shuichi Akai no longer interferes with Subaru Okiya's choice: "I continue to let my colleagues stare at this side. You should remember the four photos that I showed you before - They work in pairs, rotate every six hours, and pick you up when necessary."

Okiya Subaru listened to these arrangements and gained a little more confidence in fbi.

He confirmed again and again that the recipients had good temperaments, that there was no conflict with each other, that they were mentally healthy, and that they had not been spoken to by strange curly-haired men in black clothes.

After , Okiya Subaru reluctantly added the teammates who Hide Akai came over to his alternate escape plan.

After discussing the situation, Okiya Subaru breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the back of the chair with some relief.

was about to hang up the phone, but at this moment, he suddenly heard the direction of the door, and there was a soft sound of "dong".

...like someone was knocking on the door.

Okiya Subaru: "...??"

Akai Shuichi's statement just now that "according to Uzo's style, he should knock on the door when he thinks about it" suddenly flashed in his mind, silently getting goosebumps.

Okiya Subaru: "..." It's not really Uzo, right?

No, no, no, there was just a sound just now, maybe some debris fell in the corridor and was blown by the wind and hit the door, so...

"Dong Dong"

"Dong Dong Dong"

The knock sounded again, clearer than the first time, and with a very clear interval - no matter how you heard it, it was not an accidental knock, but someone was knocking on the door seriously.

The luck in Subaru Okiya's heart was shattered by Kazuo.

His mind went blank for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he was already leaning over behind the boss chair, covering himself with the wide steel core back, and at the same time he pulled out the gun that had been hidden under the table before, clicked, loaded, and aimed at by the door.

"Who?"

Okiya Subaru kept his voice steady and shouted from a distance.

The percussion sounded slightly. After a while, it sounded again, and the man did not answer, but continued to knock on the door casually.

Okiya Subaru listened to the regular slaps, his scalp was numb, and for a moment he almost suspected that he had crossed into a horror movie.

However, in the face of a crisis, it is useless to just run away.

He carefully ducked to the door, listened carefully for a moment, and looked out from the cat's eye.

There was no one in and out of the corridor.

Almost at the same time, a gust of wind swept past his feet, followed by something patted his leg.

Okiya Subaru suddenly lowered his head, saw the situation on the ground clearly, and was suddenly stunned.

There is no terrifying intruder within sight.

There was only one cat, who came in through the cat hole at the bottom of the gate. It pressed a gray mark on Subaru Okiya's clean pants, and was standing at the entrance at this time, looking at his house left and right, as if he was inspecting the territory.

This cat is completely black, with only four white claws. It is half size and not small. It looks like a vigorous cat in the stage of youth and growth.

Okiya Subaru looked at the familiar cat, and his mood was very complicated for a while: "..."

The cat hole at the bottom of the gate was specially made when he wanted to raise a cat.

But later, when the hole was opened, the cat ran away from home and never came back. After seeing each other again, Subaru Okiya saw this cat lying on Uzo's arms, licking a dog, which was heartbreaking.

Later, Okiya Subaru reluctantly kept the cat hole for a while. It was not until "Okiya Subaru" came into contact with Uzo a few days ago that for safety, Okiya Subaru reluctantly locked the hole... Who knows that this cat still came in.

Okiya Subaru squatted down and checked the doorway with some fear. For a moment, it was difficult to determine whether he forgot to lock it or was opened by a clever cat.

After a while, he turned his head to look at the black cloud and the snow cat.

- While Uzo is scary, cats are innocent.

Before, when he didn't know that this was Uzo's cat, Subaru Okiya also experienced a few days of carefree cat raising.

But on the other hand, at this juncture that Uzo was staring at, Subaru Okiya was worried that if he did something with these "Uzo-related elements", it would make the already bad situation even worse. wonderful.

Okiya Subaru put away his gun and lowered his head to try to figure out the purpose of Uzo Cat's appearance.

In the distance, Akai Hidey outside could not see the situation in the house clearly. But he heard the unusual movement across the phone, and immediately realized that something was wrong.

Akai Shuichi's eyes sharpened silently. He didn't rashly ask "what's the matter", but he didn't hang up the phone either. He held his breath and listened to the situation on the other side. The sniper rifle in his hand was also locked in the window of Okiya Subaru's apartment.

Akai Shuichi: "..." The apartment has been locked by him. Just now, he confirmed that no one can sneak in.

If there really is Uzo's minions, is that person ambushed in the apartment beforehand, or did he sneak in with the police team just now, and then didn't leave?

In the room, Okiya Subaru walked towards the cat for a while.

After a while, he remembered something, picked up the detector next to him, squatted down carefully, and slowly approached the black cloud and snow cat.

The cat tilted his head and glanced at his instrument, and looked away as if not interested.

Okiya Subaru glanced at the phone again and found that there was no news from Uzo, so he quickly probed the cat to make sure that Uzo didn't put a bug on the cat in a frenzy.

After checking , Okiya Subaru breathed a sigh of relief and brought the phone to his ear again.

He said in a low voice, "I heard something knocking on the door just now, and found out... that the cat that Uzo kept came to my house."
