"Your aunt...," Hotaru asked. Do you like to joke a lot? ”

"No," Yuma said, with a rather apprehensive expression. "Auntie is a very serious person, she shouldn't do such a thing."

"If that's the case," Hotaru put away her makeup tools after checking Yujin's makeup. "I'd suggest it's better to call the police, her voice just now was full of fear distortions."

"But is it really good to trouble the police like this?" Yuzhen hesitated. "If it's just a false alarm, wouldn't it..."

"There's no time to pay attention to all of this now..."Hotaru said halfway through, but sighed again after meeting Yuma's gaze. Well, if you really don't want to trouble the police gentlemen, let's go first..."

At this moment, the door of the public toilet was slammed open rather roughly, and a very heavy gasp belonging to a man clearly reached Hotaru and Yuma's ears. After about ten seconds, footsteps echoed across the ground.

Hotaru frowned slightly, because this man's behavior was rather weird.

If she heard her correctly, the man was panting heavily when he opened the door, apparently having just gone through a certain intensity of exercise - the person in the toilet was most likely in an internal urgency, but if that was the case, why did he stand in place for so long before walking from the door to the toilet cubicle? And his footsteps are quite steady, which is also inconsistent with the characteristics that he would exhibit when in a hurry.

Then, the man walked straight outside the cubicle where Hotaru and Yuma were, and finally pushed open the cubicle directly opposite them and walked in.

"Hotaru," Yuma asked softly as she noticed the abnormality in Hotaru's expression. "Outside the door is—"

Hotaru made a silent gesture to Yuma.

After entering the opposite compartment, there was no sound from the man's side, which was quite a strange situation.

At this moment, the door of the toilet was opened again.

"Mr. Guangping?" The familiar voice belonging to the middle-aged woman made Yuma's eyes widen.

"Auntie's voice!" Yuma turned Hotaru's head, which was looking in the direction of the sound source, with both hands, and lip-synched.

Hotaru continued to make a silent motion.

Just then, the man opened the door to the cubicle where he had been hiding and walked out.

"Who are you—" The middle-aged woman immediately spotted the man, and after asking half a question in surprise, it seemed that for some reason she stopped. "Oh, Mr. Guangping, you are here, you have finally arrived, I am almost scared to death now, I don't have to worry if you are here! Please keep me safe, I'll take everything I know—"

The words were abruptly cut off, replaced by groans of pain. "Ugh! Belch! ”

This kind of weak sound is common in strangulation, and judging from the lack of limb slapping sounds, it is likely that a very thin prop such as wire or fishing line was used to strangle the strangulation.

Hotaru has a pair of beauty scissors in her bag that can barely be used for self-defense, but if it's a man with a wire or something like a weapon outside, she won't be able to get out of it if she's not careful.

It's okay to be yourself, but ...... Hotaru glanced at Yuma in front of her, obviously very scared.

Hotaru's gaze softened, and she sighed inwardly

There is no need to take risks, and it is now the right thing to do now to avoid conflicts as much as possible.

At this moment, the rebellion ended, and all the rebellion that belonged to Aunt Yuzhen was over - although she was now only in a coma, she was now just a dead person who wanted to kill her.

At that moment, Hotaru discovers that Yuu is actually writing a text message to Takeda, and the message tells them to hurry up and save them.

The reaction was so timely and calm that even I had forgotten about the most important thing......

Strictly speaking, it is not a good idea to let Takeda come, because the other party also has weapons, and if something happens, even Takeda may be injured.

But Takeda has Fujiwara by his side, and compared to Takeda, he is the most powerful of them. As long as he comes, it's absolutely within his control. (If the other party had a gun, it would have been used a long time ago, how could it be strangled and killed.) ）

Just then, the sound of a human body hitting the ground was heard - this sound apparently came from Aunt Okazaki's corpse.

The killer let go of the body, suddenly remembered something, and then looked at the other toilet cubicles behind him.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but he seems to have heard something.

Leaning down, the killer began to observe the gaps through the gaps at the bottom of the toilet cubicle doors - their feet would be exposed to their own vision if there were people inside.

But in the end, there was no one.

The killer thought for a moment, then left the place - in any case, staying here for a long time was not a good option.

In the compartment, Yuma's eyes widened and he looked at Hotaru, who was in close contact with him.

…………

When Hotaru heard the sound of her knee bumping against the ground, she immediately realized that something might be going on - the other party might want to see what was going on inside through the gap at the bottom.

Calm down, if I'm not mistaken, the toilet here stands on a platform that protrudes from the ground, and the door itself is not on the edge of the platform, but slightly inward. In other words, if you and Yuma raise their feet and then try to make as little noise as possible, they might be able to fool them. As for the fact that I locked this compartment...... Hotaru had just discovered that there were a few other cubicles that were also locked, but there was no one inside, perhaps because the public toilet maintenance staff here had locked the broken toilet cubicles - now this incident could be used to disguise this cubicle as a damaged cubicle.

But the problem now is that Yujin's wheezing voice seems to be a bit loud because of the tension, and I have to find a way to suppress it...... But how can this kind of thing be suppressed?

As the killer gradually approached, Hotaru finally made a decision and immediately took action.

In Yuma's surprised eyes, Hotaru took a step forward and straddled Yuzhen's lap. Then, both of her calves stretched back, reaching Yuma's calves and hooking them up, causing the two of them to completely press their weight against the lid of the toilet.

At this time, Yuma's face was already as red as a tomato - in any case, she was already an 18-year-old girl, so she naturally knew how strongly suggestive such a pose was.

Hotaru looked at Yuma's chest, which was obviously heaving due to emotion, bit her lip, and then wrapped her arms around the back of Yuzhen's neck, and then forcibly broke through Yuzhen's resistance through the strength advantage of her arms, and blocked Yuzhen's breathing path with her lips that was gasping.

Hotaru knew that this might put Yuma in the pain of suffocation, but it was the only way to suppress her almost frantic breathing, and the only way to keep them safe from the ears of the killer outside.

Expertly pried open Yuma's lips and teeth with her tongue, Hotaru, whose breath remained steady, began to deliver air through her mouth to Yuma - the air exhaled by humans still contains 16% oxygen, and this oxygen level is still enough to supplement the oxygen needs of the real body.

In the sound of the ventilation fan above his head, Yuma's snort was almost completely muffled.

While they were nervously waiting, they heard the toilet door open once - but Hotaru still didn't dare to relax, because it was probably just a tactic by the other party to paralyze them.

But when the toilet door opened for the second time, both Hotaru and Yuma breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hotaru, are you there?" Fujiwara said lightly. "I didn't see any living people outside."

Putting down Yuma's calf, which was hooked by herself, Hotaru stood up from Yuma's thigh, staggered to her feet, took out the beauty scissors from her bag, and opened the toilet cubicle door.
