Chapter 335 The rickety tram
"Uesugi Sensei, see you tomorrow."
"Well, see you tomorrow."
After the usual farewell words, Kai Uesugi, who came out of the dojo, glanced at the brand new bright silver dial on his wrist.
19:34:27
It's neither too early nor too late.
There is no shadow of the uncle in the courtyard, so it is not sure where he has gone.
Uesugi Kai held the wooden sword that he had been training with for the past few days in his right hand, walked out from the courtyard of Sakakihara's house along the avenue, and walked towards home.
Training with my cousin these few days may be considered to have regained some touch.
The setting sun began to darken, but the lively atmosphere of people and cars intersecting was still maintained.
Pedestrians and horses came and went on the road, and a vending machine gradually passed by. Uesugi Kai, who was walking on the sidewalk, took the time to check his kendo proficiency.
[Kendo] Lv10 (max/0)
He verified it a few months ago.
A kendo level of 10 is about the same level as a kendo champion like Yuki Hanamaru.
In other words, he is at the same level of kendo skills as his father-in-law and Uncle Sakakibara.
And they, who have practiced for decades, are extremely talented, and have swept many opponents in major competitions.
It can be said that if you win against a group of people who are at the peak of their strength, there is nothing to learn in the way of swordsmanship.
Already at the pinnacle of modern standards.
Kaoru Uesugi still remembers going to a small room in Hanabi’s house before.
Inside are various trophies and commendations from my father-in-law, which stand on top of the cabinet.
上方依次排列着：全国警察剑道选手权大会冠军，第68回、69回、70回、73回全日本剑道选手权大会冠军，第16、17届世界剑道锦标赛冠军
There are also some trophies below, all of which are competition awards such as the Yulong Banner that Hanamaru Hiroki won in high school.
The "Emperor's Cup" of the above four national competitions alone is enough to illustrate the true strength of its owner.
Uesugi Kai also has a "Emperor's Cup", which is used in archery, but he doesn't value this thing, and puts it at home to eat ashes.
In addition, although the World Kendo Championship is held every three years, kendo players from all over the world participate, and many outstanding foreign kendo masters are among them.
But all the way to the final moment, most of the rest are Japanese civil wars.
In fact, Kendo also has the opportunity to become an Olympic event, so as to promote the world.
But the Japanese Kendo Federation voluntarily refused to enter the Olympic Games.
The reason they gave was that they didn't want Kendo to be a training game.
This is one of them.
Another reason is that after kendo enters the Olympic Games, some skills will inevitably be castrated because of sports rules.
Because Olympic competitions are particularly confrontational events, the protection of athletes' bodies has always been the first consideration.
This leads to a part of the skills must be missing.
For example, taekwondo and Olympic boxing, which entered the Olympic Games, have been criticized by Asian martial artists. It is not a day or two that fencing is also disgusted by European martial artists.
Sometimes it is not a joke to say that these confrontation events in the Olympics are just for fun.
On the tram platform, Kai Uesugi flicked his phone while waiting for the tram to go home.
In addition to the office worker uncles who go home early, this is also the time when many high school clubs are out of school.
Although Kaoru Uesugi was concentrating on his mobile phone, there were still a few female high school students in school uniforms secretly watching him on the other side, whispering, pushing each other from time to time, and laughing with friends.
How many times has this happened?
Uesugi Kai sighed inwardly, thinking about whether to wear a mask when going out in the future.
Huahuo had already started wearing a mask when she went out alone.
Just when he was thinking about it.
With a brisk beep, the tram arrived at the stop.
The breeze driven by it slightly blew the hair, and the dark open-air platform was a little more warm-toned because of the lights in the carriages.
Kaoru Uesugi looked at the door of the tram slowly opened, and stepped in together with the passers-by.
There are many people inside.
Kaoru Uesugi, who boarded the car last, couldn't find a seat at all, so he could only go home standing while holding the ring.
With the sound of a door closing notification, the tram wobbled and started to move on.
Kaoru Uesugi glanced towards the rear of the carriage.
The two female high school students followed in the car and were still watching him secretly, but maybe they discovered the ring on his hand, or maybe they were embarrassed, so they didn't come forward to ask for contact information.
As soon as he turned his head, the two of them quickly turned their faces away.
This atmosphere made it seem like I was their senior.
Kaoru Uesugi looked out of the constantly moving window, pretending not to see the two of them.
【Yushima, here we are, Yushima, here we are】
[This is an ordinary tram bound for Kita Ayase. Thank you for taking this tram. 】
When the tram arrives at the station, the beep ends.
After a group of passengers were transferred sparsely, the doors were closed again and the notification sounded again.
【Next stop, Chiyoda Line, Nezu Station】
【Next stop, Chiyoda Line, Nezu Station】
"."
"."
"."
Time passed by every second, but the tram did not start again.
".Um?"
Just when Uesugi was wondering, there was a sudden noise from the direction of the rear of the car.
There is the sound of running, hurried, and irregular.
Who would run in a tram?
The untimely movement caused everyone in the carriage to subconsciously look in the direction of the sound, with doubts on their expressions.
After a while, a large group of people rushed over here suddenly, their movements were anxious and their faces were panicked.
"What happened?"
The two female high school students didn't know what was going on at all. Looking around, they only knew that the person running over looked very unhappy, and there were women's screams from time to time.
Running was fine, but the screaming really scared everyone.
There seemed to be chaos there.
"Zombie, Zombie...?"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense." When my best friend said this, the other girl was also a little scared.
"What will it be over there?"
"How do I know it's definitely not a zombie anyway, and this isn't a movie."
More and more people came running from the rear of the car, the sound became more and more noisy, and even the quiet atmosphere here began to become chaotic.
Over there, I could vaguely hear the cries of a woman, and a man eagerly shouting, "Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Those who were a little anxious even started to pull on the window, trying to jump out of the car.
The people in this section of the car were obviously also affected emotionally. Looking left and right, they were bewildered and at a loss.
People kept asking what happened to the people who ran over.
"Suzuko, hey, Suzuko! No, it's not really a zombie, is it!? It seems that some girls were bitten, should we also follow them and run out of the window?"
"I-I told you not to guess randomly, that handsome guy of yours didn't panic."
Uesugi Kai did not panic, but was squeezed into the crowd by the people running over.
The more crowded they were, the more he leaned back, a little drifting.
As for whether it was a zombie - most likely not, Kaoru Uesugi could smell the sulfur dioxide produced by burning gasoline.
Someone must have set the fire.
Many people continued to run in the direction of the front of the car.
"Lingzi, hey, Lingzi, look at that handsome guy, what is he doing?"
Uesugi Kai got out from the crowd and walked slowly towards the direction where people were running.
"Dangerous! Don't go."
It's a pity that he didn't hear the kind reminder from the female high school student.
Thick smoke billowed from the compartment.
The further Uesugi walked in, the fewer people there were and the thicker the smoke.
After passing six carriages, you can roughly see people injured in the smoke, and some blood is dripping on the seats on the tram.
Not much, but it can prove that someone committed a murder.
Closer inward, there is more blood, and the fire is thicker.
In the smoke, there seemed to be a young man in a suit and glasses with a loveless expression on his face.
In front of him stood three or four people.
The group of people were unarmed, and seemed to be confronting the young man with a burning pot in one hand and a machete in the other. Kai Uesugi could see the kendo uniforms on them, and he could clearly see the word "Yanzhong" written on their chests.
They are guarding a young couple behind them.
People from Yamanaka Budokan?
Kaoru Uesugi never expected to run into someone whom he met once.
They roughly had a fight, and the white Taoist uniform on the Budokan's body was burned a lot by the flames, and the arm was also scratched, with straight lines flushed red.
"Hey, people over there! Hurry up—Uesugi Sensei!?"
The other party also seemed to have seen Kai Uesugi who suddenly appeared behind the assailant.
And the other party seems to know himself.
Uesugi Kai took a closer look, and he remembered that his name was E. Sakuraguya, and he was the leader of the mountain Budokan a few days ago.
Because of Sakuraguya's voice, the young man with the Molotov cocktail in his hand turned around, and looked at Uesugi Kai standing not far away with unrepentant eyes.
Thick smoke was billowing, and the entire carriage had already been set on fire by him, and the flames burned along the leather seats to both ends.
The young man spotted Kai Uesugi.
The smoke was so thick that the line of sight was severely obstructed.
"Another one."
He couldn't see the other person's face very clearly, but he tightened his grip on the combustion can made of gasoline in his hand, and slightly loosened the opening of his special can.
"he is"
Ying Guluo squinted his eyes in the thick smoke, and noticed his little move.
The mouth of the transfer tank. It should be gasoline.
This is to-
Suddenly, the man turned sideways, and threw the incendiary jar vigorously towards Shang Shanzhao.
"Sensei Uesugi! It's dangerous!" Sakuragu Shimo immediately shouted.
There was gasoline in the can, and Kai Uesugi could smell burning.
This young man is also very brave. He dared to loosen the mouth of the burning tank that was still breathing fire, and he was not afraid that the gasoline would evaporate and meet the fire, which would cause an explosion and blow himself up.
But at the moment when the Molotov cocktail was thrown out, Kai Uesugi threw the wooden knife in his hand directly.
The angle and precision are unbelievable.
The can was knocked flying in mid-air, and the remaining gasoline was momentarily ignited in the air.
In the air, golden fire waves ignited.
The young man was also visibly taken aback by his extremely quick response.
Seeing him in a trance for a moment, several people from the Shanzhong Budokan jumped on him, took off the murder weapon in his hand, and pressed him hard on the floor of the tram.
"do not move!"
"Don't move!"
"you--!!!"
The young man struggled vigorously, but he was pressed by several people on his body, and his face was pressed to the floor. He couldn't speak, and he couldn't move no matter what.
The knife he took just now was also kicked away the moment it hit the ground.
The young man seemed to still have a sense of resistance, struggling hard, trying to get rid of the suppression of the few people.
Kai Uesugi glanced at the man with his face on the floor, took out his own wooden knife from the burning cloth belt, and walked forward slowly.
"Uesugi, what are you...?"
Sakuraguya was wondering what he was going to do, Uesugi Kai slashed the young man's neck.
As soon as the young man kicked his legs, he stopped moving.
"This is.?"
"Dizzy." Uesugi Kai said calmly, "Take him out of the car first."
When such a big incident happened, the station attendant had already started to act and called all the police officers patrolling nearby.
When Uesugi stepped out of the car, his clothes were blackened a lot.
He didn't expect to see a familiar person standing in front of him, "Uncle?"
Hanamaru Hiroki obviously just came here, and he was wearing casual clothes. It seemed that he had just left work. He glanced at the smoky black on Uesugi Kai's body:
"Not hurt?"
"No."
"Where's the murderer?"
"Stunned." Uesugi Kai replied obediently.
Several people from the Yamanaka Budokan also threw the fainted young man out of the tram at this time.
They called a few patrolmen to go in, saying that there were still wounded.
"What did you do?" Hanamaru Hiroki glanced at the guy lying on the ground.
At this moment, the station was already surrounded by people, and many patrolling policemen were also using walkie-talkies to check with each other whether there was anyone in the carriage who hadn't come out.
"I just knocked him out."
"It's fine."
Hanamaru Hiroki stepped forward to confirm the status of the young man, and then said to Kai Uesugi: "Just leave it to me."
"Why is uncle here today?"
"Finish work and get ready to go home."
The wounded was carried out of the burning carriage by the police and people from the Yamanaka Budokan. The boyfriend of the girl who had been stabbed recognized the assailant's face lying on the ground at a glance, and hurriedly said to the police:
"Quick! Quick, it's him, he did it!"
The policeman turned his gaze towards Uesugi Kaoru, and hurried over, "Both of you—"
Hanamaru Yuki took out a small notebook from his clothes.
When the policeman saw it, his body stiffened a lot in an instant, and he stood up straight: "Police, Chief Superintendent!"
"Well, what's the situation now." Yuki Hanamaru put the notebook back.
"Now it is estimated that 15 people were chopped and [-] people were burned. The statistics are not complete."
"There's no death, is there?"
"So far, no." The little police officer reported truthfully.
Hanamaru Yuki nodded, and said to Uesugi Kai: "I have some details to ask, you can come with me later."
"Oh."
After confirming that there was no one in the car, the fire brigade arrived and began to extinguish the fire burning in the car.
Kaoru Uesugi sat in the police car, saw the station with thick smoke, saw the audience surrounded by curiosity, and saw several bloody people being carried into the ambulance.
He waited for a long time before Hanamaru Hiroki sat back in the car with a policeman.
"Awaited."
"It's nothing."
Hanamaru Hiroki glanced at the time in the car, and then said to Kai Uesugi in the co-pilot: "Talk to Hanabi and go back later."
"Oh, yes. But do you want to talk about it?"
"Say it, just stay with me, anyway, you're not hurt, she won't worry."
Kai Uesugi took out his mobile phone, found Hanabi's contact information, briefly explained the matter, and said that he went to the police station with his uncle, and asked her to eat with Aiyi and the others at night.
Hanamaru Hanabi kept asking him if he was injured in the contact, Uesugi Kai could only keep explaining if he was, he was safe, and now he is with his uncle, you can just eat dinner with peace of mind.
After glancing at her reply with a worried expression, Kai Uesugi put away his phone.
Outside the car window, it was already dark, and neon lights began to flicker in Tokyo.
It's just that today's flashes are mixed with some sirens.
