After leaving Yoshimura Kozo's ward, Gu Chen felt a little heavy again, but at the same time he also felt a little relieved.

Because in this world, there are a group of people who share the same ideals as him.

However, even if all these people united together, their power was still too small compared to the entire world.

But this is not important. It is enough for Gu Chen to know that he is not alone on the road he is walking.

After calming down, Gu Chen returned to the ZAT base. Under Shi Xinyu's sharp gaze, he had to go back to the office and start processing the documents that were supposed to be handled by him.

When you devote yourself to your work, sometimes you will feel that time passes very slowly, but sometimes it will pass very quickly.

Most of the time, time feels like it's passing very slowly because the work is too torturous, too difficult, or too tricky.

And it feels like time is passing quickly. Well, it’s impossible to feel time passing quickly unless you’re not working and are just slacking off.

"After get off work, after get off work, Kotaro, whatever you want to eat tonight, I'll make it for you."

As soon as the time to get off work arrived, Gu Chen couldn't wait to close the folder and rushed out of the office like a fly, and by the way, he also called Dong Kotaro who was preparing to get off work together.

"Advisor, I want to eat pork elbow in soy sauce."

Dong Guangtaro was not polite and immediately ordered a main dish. At the same time, he began to recall the taste of the braised pork elbow that Gu Chen had made.

Just with such a simple thought, Higashi Kotaro's mouth began to drool.

"Too much oil and salt, you're indulging yourself right after the game?" Gu Chen rolled his eyes at Dong Guangtaro, "Let's do it tomorrow, it's too late today, just stir-fry some simple tomato and egg."

At this point in time, Gu Chen couldn't get the braised pork elbow for Dong Guangtaro.

Of course, it is not impossible to do it if you insist, but this involves the abuse of private rights, which is inconsistent with Gu Chen's values.

"Okay, scrambled eggs with tomatoes will work too, just add more eggs."

Although there was no braised pork elbow to eat tonight, Dong Guangtaro was a little disappointed, but as long as it was scrambled eggs with tomatoes made by Gu Chen, he would accept it.

"Brother, add more soup, I love it."

When he heard that the dish for tonight was scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Taro's shadow emerged from Higashi Kotaro's body, and his eyes, which were already shining, now shone even brighter.

"OK, just leave it to me."

Facing the two foodies, Gu Chen grinned.

Isn’t it a kind of happiness that someone likes the food you cook?

Ever since Gu Chen no longer regarded promoting harmonious coexistence between humans and monsters as his life goal, he has become much more relaxed, and he has also discovered some little beauties in life that he had overlooked in the past.

If I think about it carefully, I have really sacrificed too much by working so hard for a vision that is basically impossible to achieve within half a year.

Speaking of this, what was his ideal when he first traveled through time?

Suddenly I can't remember clearly.

With such emotion, Gu Chen and Dong Guangtaro returned home side by side.

After a while, the human smoke was discharged outside through the exhaust fan in the kitchen, forming a wisp of curling smoke.

……

Gu Chen and Dong Kotaro felt better, but the miserable life of Aragaki Shuhei and the other two had just begun.

Tonight it was the turn of Tetsuya Kitajima and Tadao Minamihara to go out on routine patrol, while Shuhei Araki was on duty at the ZAT team headquarters.

Therefore, when night fell, Tetsuya Kitajima and Tadao Minamihara left the ZAT team headquarters on the Rabbit Bear and began to run around the streets.

Time passed quietly as the tires of the Rabbit Bear turned. As the night deepened, the number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased, and the shops on both sides of the street closed one after another.

When it was late at night, the streets had become quiet. Most people had fallen into sweet dreams. Only Tetsuya Kitajima and Tadao Minamihara were yawning constantly in the Rabbit Bear.

"Ha~~~Ah~~~Nanyuan, let's stop and rest for a while after patrolling this area."

Kitajima Tetsuya yawned loudly, then started the engine of the Rabbit Bear and spoke to Minamihara Tadao beside him.

"Ah~~~ha~~~no problem Beidao, tonight is another calm night, it will be fine if we take a short break."

Tadao Nanhara made an OK gesture and accidentally bought himself a flag.

At that time, the idea of ​​"setting a flag for yourself" was not popular yet, so Tetsuya Kitajima did not think there was anything wrong with what Minamihara Tadao said. He nodded and started the Rabbit Bear to patrol the nearby area.

However, not long after the Rabbit Bear was launched, it suddenly started to rain heavily.

"Oh my, it's raining! The rainy season is troublesome."

Listening to the sound of rain hitting the car window, Nanhara Tadao frowned slightly and looked distressed.

The plum rain season is also known as "mildew rain" because the air humidity and temperature are high during this period, making everything susceptible to moisture and mildew.

In extreme cases, if you are not careful, the clean underwear will not dry for a week, and fungi will grow on it.

So at this moment, Nanyuan Tadao was recalling whether he had closed the doors and windows of the dormitory when he went out, and whether the clothes hanging outside had been brought back into the house.

Thinking of this, Nanhara Tadao's face twitched involuntarily. It seemed that either the doors and windows were not closed properly or the clothes hung out to dry were confiscated.

"I'll buy a dehumidifier after I get my salary."

While driving, Tetsuya Kitajima chatted with Tadao Minamihara to refresh himself.

As it was late at night and it suddenly started to rain, the vision of the Rabbit Bear became a little blurry, so Kitajima Tetsu did not dare to drive the Rabbit Bear too fast.

As they drove and talked, Tetsuya Kitajima and Tadao Minamihara arrived at the gate of a cemetery on the Rabbit Bear.

"Wow~~~~"

Just as the Rabbit Bear passed the cemetery gate, the sound of a baby crying penetrated the rain and the window of the Rabbit Bear and entered the car.

Immediately, almost subconsciously, Kitajima Tetsuya slammed on the brakes, and then his body fell forward due to inertia, and then bounced heavily back onto the back of the seat due to the pull of the seat belt.

Nanyuan Tadao was startled by the sudden emergency brake, and his body was also pulled by the seat belt, so he immediately turned around and questioned Kitajima Tetsuya: "Kitajima, what are you doing..."

"Hush! Did you hear anything?"

However, before Nanhara Tadao could finish his words, he was interrupted by Kitajima Tetsuya with a serious face.

"Hmm? What did you hear?"

Hearing Kitajima Tetsuya say this, Minamihara Tadao was slightly stunned, then he closed his mouth and listened attentively.

For a moment, the car became extremely quiet, and the sound of rain hitting the window and the sound of the wipers swinging all drilled into the ears of the two people.

After listening quietly for a while, Nanyuan Tadao, who heard nothing but the sound of rain and windshield wipers, was about to speak...

“Wa ...

Another baby cry was heard, but this time it became clearer and more shrill.
