Chapter 99 Useless People
Tokyo Bay, Edogawa Bridge.
It rains continuously. The calm Tokyo Bay in the past is now filled with extremely turbulent winds and waves, and heavy rains are pouring down. In the distance, the red warning light on the sea buoy has been on, flashing. Tokyo Port
The freighter at the dock has anchored, and some small ships are firmly tied to the fixed ropes on the shore. The horizon in the distance is pitch black, with surging clouds, like the outline of a monster looming, a scene like that of Tokyo Bay.
It's like the end of the world is coming.
On the Edogawa River Crossing Bridge, the gray steel bars seemed to be shaking in the face of the unprecedented violent storm, making a "woo, woo" sound. There was a figure on the outside of the outermost railing.
Terai stood on the platform outside the bridge, looking at the terrifying scene, but his heart was unusually calm. Raindrops kept hitting his face, and his engineering clothes were all soaked.
Back then, when he was still in elementary school, it was the first time he took a bus and passed by the Edogawa River Crossing Bridge.
This was also the first time that he completely felt the charm of this machine called a car.
Cars, that kind of thing.
so good.
With it, people can go where they want to go.
With it, people can sit comfortably in their seats and no longer have to endure the bumps of the journey.
With it, people are equivalent to having a small house that can be moved freely.
But, I am so useless.
The throttle control technology developed by ourselves was regarded as useless, and R&D funds were suppressed again and again.
I can't socialize with colleagues and can't make any friends.
He doesn't know how to please women and is often rejected by his wife.
The more cautiously I do things, the harder I try, the worse things get.
Even after thinking about it for a long time, I still don’t know where my problem is.
This time I finally mustered up the courage to file a lawsuit, but it ended up being a matter of ridicule.
Cars can take people where they want to go, but where do I want to go?
Terai took a step forward, and was less than a palm away from the edge of the bridge platform. Under the platform, there was a full sixty meters height from the raging sea water. A strong wind blew, and Terai's engineering hat instantly
It was blown up and drifted into the mighty Tokyo Bay without a trace.
It's time for everything to end.
Terai opened his hands and closed his eyes, feeling the touch of the last raindrops.
The moment it was closed, an extremely loud trumpet sounded.
"Beep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
It was as if the driver was honking the horn desperately and hitting the steering wheel with all his strength. Even the car seemed to feel the emotions of the owner in the driver's seat. At this moment, the electromagnetic coil in the car erupted like never before.
The electromagnetic attraction increases the vibration frequency of the metal chirping piece to an unprecedented level, emitting extremely harsh and strong sound waves that seem to be able to pierce people's eardrums.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely strong high-beam light hit Terai's body.
"Bang! Bang!"
There were two sounds of car doors opening.
"Terai!!!" a female voice shouted.
Terai turned around and saw four people standing on the road of the bridge.
His wife, Najin Jiang, is a woman wearing a black suit whom he does not recognize.
There are also two figures that I have only met twice, but are extremely familiar - Lawyer Miyagawa and Lawyer Kitahara.
"Mr. Terai, calm down!!" Miyagawa took a step forward and shouted anxiously, "We have seen those false reports. We can definitely sue Kawamoto Expressway. They are the evil people. Mr. Terai, completely
There is no need to go to this step. All problems can be solved."
Niwa who was on the side was originally a little angry because Kitahara roughly pulled him into the car, but he was shocked when he saw this scene.
She had no idea that the plaintiff's client would be forced to this point.
The attacks by those online anonymous persons are actually so lethal.
Niwa immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed the ambulance and coast guard numbers.
"Yes...I'm sorry. I didn't expect that I would be so useless even at this moment." Terai saw the two young lawyers who graduated from Tokyo University, his eyes suddenly turned red, and a tear flowed down his cheek unsatisfactorily. Raindrops and
Tears mixed together and rolled down on the simple engineering clothes.
In the midst of the storm, Terai shouted loudly to Nazue and Kitahara:
"I'm sorry, everyone. I'm just a useless person."
"I'm a useless engineer."
"I'm a useless colleague."
"I am a useless husband."
"Najinjiang, I'm sorry for you! I really don't know how to please a woman! I am an unqualified husband."
"I'm still a useless client. Yes, I can't even be a good client. Your lawyers are still fighting tirelessly at the front, but I surrendered first. Lawyer Miyagawa! I'm sorry for you! Lawyer Kitahara, I'm sorry for you.
!”
"Things have come to this point. I have read all those reports. Although they are exaggerating, as I read them, I feel more and more that they are right."
"I shouldn't have bought that Rolls-Royce. I shouldn't have focused on researching throttle control technology."
"My dream was wrong from the beginning!"
"I should never have become an automotive engineer in the first place!"
"Sorry everyone, I was wrong!"
A strong wind blew suddenly, as if a big hand reached out to hold Terai's body, and then shook it violently. Under the influence of the strong wind, Terai's body lost balance in an instant and fell towards the bottom of the platform. However, Terai's face
There was a smile on his face, but his body made no movement to maintain balance.
Terai's miserable life of nearly sixty years.
The life that has been despised and despised by countless people is finally coming to an end.
At this moment, a gray shadow suddenly flashed out, like an arrow shooting out, breaking through the obstacles of the layers of rain. The man in a gray suit jacket rushed up at the moment when Terai lost his balance, wearing the scale sunflower seal on his body
Because the master's movements were too large, he was immediately ejected from his body. His leather shoes splashed ripples on the ground.
His face was still very calm, he held the railings of the bridge with both hands, kicked off his legs, and his whole body flew into the air.
And under the railing is the turbulent Tokyo Bay!
Afraid?
To be honest, I'm a little scared.
But what’s the point of starting life over again if we’re just so timid?
The male lawyer did not show any fear on his face. Instead, he became calmer. Facing the turbulent Tokyo Bay, he seemed to be bungee jumping. He jumped directly from the bridge without hesitation to catch the man.
Automotive engineer.
When Miyagawa noticed Kitahara rushing forward, she immediately stretched out her left hand to grab Kitahara's suit jacket. However, the rain-soaked suit was extremely slippery and slipped directly from Miyagawa's hands. At the moment of slipping away,
, the nail of Miyagawa's left index finger got stuck on the button of the suit cuff, and the huge pulling force hooked the nail of Miyagawa's hand.
In an instant, the nail broke into two pieces, blood spattered out, and three-quarters of the nail on the index finger flew out.
The biting pain did not hinder Miyagawa's movements. She immediately took another step forward, stretched out her right hand, and tried to grab the man in front of her. However, this time, she didn't even catch the cuff, and she saw the man in front of her rushing forward.
Go up.
don't want……
Kitahara……
It's too dangerous there...
In the air, Kitahara's hand was still a little short. He was still too far away from Terai and could not catch him. However, at this time, Kitahara himself had already jumped out of the bridge. Because he rushed too fast, the surrounding railings had also moved away from him.
It's too far and there's nothing for Beiyuan to grab.
Two figures vaguely appeared in the air next to the bridge, but in an instant, the howling rainstorm drowned the two figures.
It was as if no one had ever been there before.
All traces were ruthlessly washed away by the heavy rain in that moment.
Miyagawa couldn't believe what was happening in front of her. That figure, that figure who accompanied her in the university reading club, that figure in Eto Law Firm, that figure who appeared in court with her and sat in the plaintiff's seat,
Just like that, it disappeared into the rain.
The Edogawa Bridge is at least sixty meters above the sea. If you fall from a height of sixty meters, under the influence of gravity, even on the sea surface, the human body will suffer a strong impact and fracture. Now,
It was still a fierce rainy night, and the visibility was terrible.
The chance of survival if you jump is - zero.
Suddenly, Miyagawa felt as if a whole corner of his heart had been dug out.
A sharp pain came from his chest.
The whole world seemed to turn gray in one second.
In a pair of eyes, the color of the world can no longer be seen.
“Kitahara!!!!!!”
Tokyo Bay, Edogawa Bridge.
