Sakata sat there, stunned for a while, before slowly coming back to his senses.
"Did I...escape?" Sakata murmured to himself, "Am I dreaming?"
Sakata stood up and moved his body. There was no pain in his wrists at all, and his broken legs no longer hurt. Everything was intact as before, as if all the tragic experiences in the detention center were a dream.
Sakata took a few steps forward, but lost his balance and fell to the ground.
His muscles were sore all over his body now, as if he had been sweating in the gym for three hours.
Sakata sat slumped on the ground, like a beggar, leaning on the wall, watching the people on the sidewalk passing in front of him.
After a while, a female high school student in school uniform bought two rice balls and placed them in front of him.
"Tomoko, stop meddling in other people's business and just buy him a rice ball." The man who seemed to be his boyfriend standing behind the female high school student, holding an umbrella to protect him from the rain, said.
"Got it." The high school girl known as Tomoko turned around and responded, placing a bottle of Coke in front of Sakata, standing up and holding her boyfriend's hand.
"Your love is always so overflowing." The boyfriend complained with some dissatisfaction, "Obviously you don't have much pocket money yourself."
"Don't you like me like this?" Zhizi asked habitually, "It's better than you having a stinky face all day long, right? You always have this stinky face when you stay with me, right? Do you like staying with me?"
"Nothing like that, no matter what you are like, I like you very much." The boyfriend obviously often responds to this kind of death inquiry. It has become a formula, as if he has established a new synapse, he subconsciously replied, "The reason why I'm so embarrassed is because of the Kendo club."
"After that bastard Tanaka was hospitalized, the instructor didn't know which nerve was wrong. He actually asked me to be the interim president and be responsible for the kendo club's preparations for the national conference." The boyfriend complained, "I have nothing in common with Tanaka's gang. Deal with it well!"
"The national conference is also very important. When my best friends were chatting with me, they were all envious of me for having a boyfriend who competed in the national conference." Tomoko said with a smile as she clung to her boyfriend.
"I can't even get the people together, how can I organize it?"
"Why don't you discuss it with Mr. Yuan? Didn't he save you? Use the excuse of thanking him to talk to him." Tomoko suggested.
The two held the same umbrella, chatted, and disappeared from Sakata's sight.
Sakata sniffed and recorded the scent of Tomoko's perfume in the air. Since waking up, his senses have become much sharper.
After taking note of the taste, Sakata turned his attention to the rice balls on the ground. He was so hungry that he destroyed the rice balls in an instant and even ate part of the wrapping paper.
After Sakata finished eating the rice ball, he suddenly remembered that the female high school student who had just given him the rice ball was wearing the same school uniform as the one Genya wore before.
"Yuan Ye, I must kill you." Sakata gritted his teeth and said viciously.
But now Sakata doesn't know where Genya's studies are, let alone blocking him.
"We still need to visit the office first and check the information." Sakata said to himself, "And we also need to find out what the current situation is in Daodi."
With this thought in mind, Sakata asked someone for directions and followed his memory to his office.
As he walked, Sakata's soaked clothes made him more and more uncomfortable. At the same time, Sakata's hunger became more and more serious, as if the rice balls he had eaten had awakened his empty stomach.
This forced Sakata to go to the park where some homeless people gathered in his memory, and wanted to grab two clothes to try on - his account was canceled when he was imprisoned, and he now cannot pay through facial recognition.
Sakata's hunger became more and more serious. It was not just the feeling of hunger in his stomach, which seemed to have been transferred. It seemed that every cell in Sakata's body was calling for hunger. This feeling became stronger and stronger, reaching the point where he could not ignore it.
Sakata quickly found a homeless man who fell asleep wrapped in a cotton-padded coat in a rain shelter. Originally, he just wanted to grab the cotton-padded coat and run away. Unexpectedly, he woke up the homeless man while snatching the cotton-padded coat, and the two of them struggled. together.
"XD, don't be shameless." Sakata put his foot on the homeless man's belly. He didn't seem to realize that he was subconsciously imitating the look and tone of the strong man who bullied him in the detention center.
Even though the tramp was hit hard in the stomach, he still hugged his cotton coat. He knew that this was his only guarantee for surviving the winter.
The hunger all over his body affected Sakata, making his body weaker and weaker. In the process of fighting for the cotton-padded clothes, he gradually fell into a disadvantage.
——It’s too much trouble, just kill him!
Inexplicably, this idea appeared in Sakata's mind, and then he lost consciousness.
