Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 202 199. The NHK death worker and the neighbor's Miss Fear

After leaving the coffee shop, Makoto Kyushu went to buy a few big bags of ingredients, and returned home to cook.

Yinyangliao is similar to the Metropolitan Police Department. It will provide its employees with living allowances covering various aspects, which can be regarded as replacing part of their wages—for example, they can get [-] to [-] percent discounts on consumption at designated restaurants and shops.

With these preferential subsidies, even vegetables and fruits that are close to sky-high prices in Wano country will not cost much to buy, and will not make him feel heartbroken.

In his previous life, Jiuzhou Cheng had some cooking skills in Yanhuang, and he worked as the canteen chef for his own martial arts gym during summer vacation.He even thought that it was an incredible atavistic phenomenon that human beings can't cook. It wasn't until he entered society that he met many people who could only boil water that he began to accept that "there are people in this world who can't cook." This shocking fact.

In fact, Jiuzhou Cheng wanted to cook by himself after time travel.It's a pity that the original rental house was too small. Although it was equipped with a simple stove, it was only used to heat instant food.Once the oil pan is set up to cook in earnest, there will be no more people living in the house.

Fortunately, the situation is different now, this apartment has a spacious separate kitchen.Moreover, Tokyo's international trade is developed, and the seasonings and ingredients of Yanhuang's home-cooked dishes can be easily bought. Kyushu Makoto does not intend to continue to rely on bento boxes to survive.

Standing in front of the kitchen table, Jiuzhou Cheng picked up the meat chopping knife and swung it a few times, quickly regaining the feel of his previous life, and began to skillfully chop vegetables.

Green peppers are cut into chunks, green onions are cut into small pieces, ginger and garlic are crushed, and large pieces of pork belly are first boiled with a lighter for a layer of skin, then boiled on low heat for half an hour, finally cut into slices, and stir-fried together with other ingredients.
Half an hour later, Jiuzhou Cheng brought out a plate of twice-cooked pork with red oil and green peppers and a bowl of tomato egg drop soup from the kitchen, and the rice cooker on the dining table also jumped with a "ding!".

After serving the meal, Kyushu Makoto moved his index finger just by asking about the intense aroma.

"Ding-dong--!"

There was an untimely ringing of the doorbell.

Kyushu put down his chopsticks unhappily, walked to the entrance and asked, "Hello, who are you?"

Through the cat's eye on the door, Jiuzhou Cheng saw a man in a suit and leather shoes standing outside the door, with a work card hanging on his chest with an orange sling.

"Hello, is Mr. Jiuzhou at home?!" The person at the door rang the doorbell several times in a row, looking impatient:

"I'm an NHK salesman, could you please open the door if it's convenient?"

Hearing this, Jiuzhou Cheng immediately put on a bad face: "Sorry, it's inconvenient."

There is an unwritten rule among the people of Wano country, that is, never open the door to NHK salesmen.

NHK is the first national broadcasting station in the history of Wano Country, covering news, TV dramas, music, sports events and children's programs.

This TV station does not have any advertisements or sponsors, but in accordance with the "Broadcasting Law" formulated by Wano Country, "by order" pays fees to all the people who can watch the TV station.

The payment price of the TV station is not cheap. You need to pay [-] to [-] yen a month, which is not a small amount in a year.

In the previous age when information was underdeveloped, people gritted their teeth and paid for it.But today's Internet is so developed that young people can complete all entertainment with only a mobile phone, and the TV seems a bit redundant.

But even so, the TV station still has to make money, so NHK TV station thought of a bad move-hiring extra-staff toll collectors to stalk the residents, and forcing the residents to sign contracts and pay through high-intensity online communication.

According to reports on the Internet, these non-staff toll collectors have done many acts that both people and gods hate, including but not limited to verbally intimidating residents, investigating residents' personal privacy, repeatedly squatting at the door of residents like thieves, knocking on doors in the early morning to harass residents, and even taking advantage of residents When opening the door, reach out and break the anti-theft chain to break in forcibly.

As these rumors intensified, "how to get rid of NHK toll collectors" has gradually become a topic that people talk about.

This apartment building is newly built, and most of the residents are well-off, so it is logical to be targeted by NHK Corporation, intending to make a fortune.

Makoto Kyushu doesn't have a TV in his home and doesn't plan to watch NHK.After all, in this era, mobile phones and computers can easily replace the work of TV.

But he also didn't intend to open the door to the NHK toll collector outside.It's like even if there is no dog food and meat stored at home, most people will not open the door to the wild dogs squatting at the door.

Sensing the obstacle, the NHK toll collector outside the door did not give up, and the doorbell was gradually replaced by a knock on the door:

"Mr. Kyushu, I am a salesman of NHK. Please don't turn me away, let's come in and talk!"

"I don't have a TV at home." Makoto Kyushu snorted and replied.

"Then please let me take a look first!" the NHK toll collector insisted:
"According to the "Broadcasting Law", as long as it is any electronic device that can watch NHK channels, including mobile phones and computers, you are obliged to pay to our company! Mr. Kyushu, you don't say that you don't have a mobile phone?"

"I do have a mobile phone." Makoto Kyushu took a deep breath and retorted:

"But I haven't downloaded relevant software in my mobile phone or computer, and I don't know how to watch your company's TV channels. Please go back!"

"Please don't embarrass me, Mr. Kyushu!" The NHK toll collector still didn't give up:
"It is the duty of every citizen to pay for NHK TV! You don't want to break the law, do you?"

"Please go back." Jiuzhou Cheng repeated: "This is the second time I said it."

This time, the other party was stunned.Wano country's law stipulates that if someone breaks into someone else's residence without permission and fails to leave obediently after being warned three times by the owner of the household, it is equivalent to committing the crime of "residential intrusion".

And this trick is exactly what many people use to dissuade NHK toll collectors, and it has basically been tried and tested.

Although the "Broadcasting Law" allows NHK to charge the public, it actually has no enforcement power. It is used to scare ordinary people who do not understand the law.On the contrary, most of the NHK toll collectors are external temporary personnel, and there is no need to get themselves into the bureau because of "illegal trespass" for a single business.

Realizing that Makoto Kyushu is a stubborn stubble, the NHK toll collector had to leave angrily.

Kyushu Makoto finally breathed a sigh of relief and went back to eat.

These NHK toll collectors have inherited the fine tradition of the people of Wano who bully the weak and fear the strong. As long as they realize that the residents are stubborn, they will not pester them again.

On the contrary, as long as the tenants show a weak attitude, they will intensify the door-to-door harassment. If you can't talk about it once, you can come to ten times, and if you can't talk about it in the daytime, you can come to harass in the early morning, which will make you mentally tortured.Even Zhuge Liang would agree to go out of the mountain after being paid three visits to the thatched cottage, let alone these ordinary people.

After eating, Kyushu Makoto saw an NHK toll collector standing at the door of the apartment on the left when he went out to take out the garbage, apparently entangled with the neighbor girl.

"Miss Zuo, please open the door! I know you are at home!" The NHK toll collector slapped the door roughly, and kicked the door with leather shoes from time to time. The force was so great that the whole corridor was rattling:

"Miss Zuo, your parents sent you to study in our country. Surely they don't want you to be deported because you didn't pay the TV station's audio-visual fees?"

However, no matter how he knocked, there was no response from the door.

"Miss Zuo, if you are not free today, we will come to visit another day, I hope you are ready!" The toll collector put down a sentence that seemed to be threatening, and glanced at Jiuzhou Cheng with a strange look, then turned and left up.

After the commotion outside the corridor subsided, Jiuzhou Cheng was about to go downstairs to take out the garbage, but the door of the neighbor's house was slowly opened a crack.

The girl who called herself "Jingzi" poked out from the crack of the door, her long black hair was messed up and not taken care of, and there were faint dark circles under her eyes on her pale face that hadn't been exposed to the sun much.

"Has the NHK people left?" She said to herself cautiously, but she shrank her neck in fright when she saw Makoto Kyushu.

"He's gone, but he should come again." Jiuzhou Cheng turned his head and warned Jingzi:
"In the future, if someone from NHK comes to harass you, you must strictly reject him. Don't pretend that there is no one in the house. They will investigate your life patterns in advance, so they know when you are at home, and they will keep coming to harass you. .”

Although Jiuzhou Cheng is kind-hearted, he is not a good-tempered person with a temper comparable to that of Buddha.If NHK toll collectors frequently come to harass the neighbors in the middle of the night, making him unable to sleep well, then he will probably rush out to kill people with a knife.

"Okay, I understand." Jing Zi was stunned for a moment, then nodded in a panic, and was about to close the door.

"Wait a minute." Jiuzhou Cheng reached out to stop her and reminded: "We are neighbors, so please come to me if you need help in the future."

"Thank you, thank you." Jingzi's eyes drifted, and her voice became smaller and smaller: "The last meeting ceremony. Thank you too."

After finishing speaking, she quietly closed the door like a ghost.

Kyushu Makoto would like to have a few words with this neighbor, especially when the NHK toll collector called her "Miss Zuo" and said that she came to study abroad.

"Is she also from Yanhuang?" Jiuzhou Cheng guessed.

However, this neighbor is obviously not very willing to communicate with outsiders, and Jiuzhou Cheng does not intend to force her.

After taking out the garbage and returning home, Makoto Kyushu tidied up the furniture again, then stepped into the bedroom which was bigger than his previous rental house, and picked up the "Encyclopedia of Spiritual Species" given to him by Yinyangliao from the desk .

Since the two "female seniors" have warned him to learn about spiritual species, he can no longer be lazy.

This encyclopedia records information on nearly a thousand common spirit species, ranging from appearance conditions to special abilities to handling methods. "Know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles" is his motto as a martial artist. Only by knowing these monsters well can he defeat them efficiently.

After reading a dozen or so pages, Makoto Kyushu felt his eyelids tremble.He has been running around these days and has almost no free time, and now he feels sleepy when he is free for a while.

Jiuzhou Cheng went to the bathroom to take a shower, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.

"."

"咚咚-"

"Dong, dong, dong——!"

"Miss Zuo, please open the door!"

"It's already three o'clock in the morning, who is it?"

"Hi, I'm an NHK salesman, please let me in to talk!"

"Ah! Don't touch the anti-theft chain, don't come in! Get out!"

"Excuse me, I'm coming in! Yo~Miss Zuo, you happen to have a TV in your house, please allow me to take a photo as proof first—it seems that you are obliged to pay us~"

"My TV is used for playing games, and the TV function is not activated!"

"That's okay, as long as you have a TV at home, you are obliged to pay us~"

"Why don't you touch me like this, let me go!"

"Please be quiet, Ms. Zuo~ It's so late, everyone should be asleep, your noise will disturb the neighbors~"

"Ahhhhhhhhhh! Help!"

"This is a signing contract, please cooperate with me and sign obediently~"

"Let go of my hand! Don't touch me!"

"Miss Zuo, please don't resist. As a foreigner who comes to study abroad, you should respect the laws and regulations here, shouldn't you?"

"Ah! Help! Help me!!!!"

"."

"Damn, what's going on?" Jiuzhou Cheng woke up in the middle of the night and heard a noisy dispute coming from the next door.

Makoto Kyushu's bedroom is on the left side of the apartment, separated from the neighbor Jingzi's house by a wall.If there is a lot of commotion in the other party's house, Jiuzhou Cheng can also hear it.

Although he couldn't hear the conversation next door, Makoto Kyushu heard Jingzi's screams and faint calls for help.

Jiuzhou Cheng jumped up from the bed and ran out without hesitation, taking a kitchen knife and an umbrella along the way.

Running out of the door, Kyushu Makoto saw the door of the next room open, and the cries for help inside were intermittent, but full of the girl's despair.

"Is it a robbery?" Jiuzhou Cheng took a deep breath: "It sounds like there is only one robber. That's right, after all, she is a girl who lives alone, and she has no ability to resist at all."

Kyushu Makoto clenched the kitchen knife and umbrella, and rushed forward with strides.

Entering the living room of Jingzi's house, Kyushu Makoto saw a man in a suit with a back-cut hair grabbing the girl's wrist and forcing her to press her fingerprints on the contract on the table.

The man in the suit looked ruffian. According to Jiuzhou Cheng's experience, this is the temperament that only the second-timers who have been on the streets will have.

On the other hand, Jingzi's face was flushed, her hair was messier than usual, and her wrist was pinched with red marks, as if she was being held hostage to do something.

Seeing Kyushu rushing in, the man in the suit froze for a moment in surprise, while Jingzi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, showing an expression of wanting to cry but not tears.

"Haha...cough hehehe...The robbery in the middle of the night made everyone sleep well, right?" Jiuzhou Cheng grinned and roared, with a hideous and terrifying smile on his face, he raised his knife and rushed up:

"Woo! I'm going to kill you, the household registration book only has one page!"

Two and 10 minutes later, police cars and ambulances came downstairs to the apartment building with their red and blue lights flashing.

The ambulancemen put the bloodied man in the suit on a stretcher and carried them out, while the police questioned the two.

After many explanations, everyone finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

NHK toll collectors raided Jing Zi's home in the middle of the night, trying to force her to sign a payment contract by force and force.But Jiuzhoucheng mistook the other party for a burglar, and rushed in to save them without saying a word, strangled the "gangster" unconscious "under extreme fear", and stabbed the other party five or six times.

The policemen left after chatting with the two for 10 minutes, but did not arrest Jiuzhou Cheng—he is still a minor, and if he really wanted to pursue the matter to the end, he would be sent to a juvenile detention center for two months.Besides, his subjective wish was to help his neighbors drive out the burglars, and the NHK toll collector's behavior was indeed inappropriate. Keiko could sue the other party with a series of crimes such as "residential intrusion" and "sexual harassment".

Due to the loud commotion, the building manager hurried over to check it out, and scolded angrily after learning what had happened:

"NHK is really going too far. I heard that they have recently started hiring street gangsters as toll collectors, and they don't care about these poor policemen!"

The policemen laughed wryly at the same time, pretending not to hear.They are just a bunch of low-level people doing dirty work. How can they have the right to trouble Wano Country's largest TV station?
After some commotion, this sudden incident finally came to an end.

"Then I'll go back first. Remember to lock the door at night, and don't open it for others." Jiuzhou Cheng waved to Jing Zi, ready to leave.

"Ha...ha...okay" Jingzi was obviously terrified. She had been shivering in her coat since just now, and her face was so pale that no trace of blood could be seen. Her pupils were always shrunk to one-third the size of the whites of her eyes:

"Okay... scary... scary..."

Seeing her terrified, startled appearance like the heroine of a ghost movie, I am afraid that whether she can sleep peacefully tonight is a problem.

Jiuzhou Cheng thought for a while, and suggested: "Can I sit at your house for a while and have a little chat with you?"
