"Nishizawa, remember to send the plan to my mailbox before tomorrow."
The boss in a smart business attire stepped on high-heeled shoes in a hurry, leaving only this sentence, and did not wait for Nishizawa to answer. He hurriedly left again.
Caesar: "..." If I remember correctly, when this task was given to him, he was asked to submit it before next Friday, right?
But...
he turned on his phone and looked at the rent reminder message sent by the landlord. For the sake of the precarious performance rating, he sighed and chose to work overtime overnight to complete the task silently according to his boss's request.
The time was close to zero, and the colleagues in the office had already left.
Finally sending the file before the deadline, Nishizawa rubbed his sore wrist, raised his head and glanced at the brightly lit night scene outside the window.
His workplace is in the central business district of the city, where there are rows of high-rise buildings, and the lights are even more dazzling at night. It is so beautiful that it looks like a metropolis.
But these prosperity have little to do with him.
He has no relatives, no family, and no escape route to rely on, so he can only earn money and save money desperately. Even the house can only be rented in a remote suburb more than two hours away from here by car, because he cannot bear the burden. Can't afford the high rent near the CBD.
The melancholy thoughts only stayed for a second, and Caesar quickly collected his mood and began to pack his things and go home from get off work.
The subway has been out of service. If you miss the night bus again, the cost of taking a taxi back will be even more terrible.
Sitting in the empty bus compartment, he pressed his bag tightly with one hand, propped his forehead with the other, and dozed off with lowered eyelashes.
This is a very insecure position.
Although physically sleepy and exhausted to the extreme, his nerves were always tense, and he dared not slack off in the slightest.
Living alone for a long time made him develop full vigilance, especially after watching the news of frequent murders at night in big cities.
After getting off the night bus, the road from the bus station to the rented place made him even more frightened.
Located in a remote outskirts, the street lights are dimly lit, the surroundings are quiet and no one is around, and occasionally a wild cat jumps past, which can perform the effect of a ghost movie.
Caesar lowered his head, stared at the ground, and quickened his pace.
Suddenly, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.
Caesar suddenly stopped in his footsteps, his whole body stiffened, and an exclamation that he couldn't utter was stuck in his throat.
With his eyes wide open, he looked like a cat with blown fur. If it had a tail, it would have stood up straight at this moment.
That should be a person.
And he was a tall, strong man.
In the deadly alley, none of them moved, they stood deadlocked in place, silently confronting each other.
After a while, Caesar quietly moved back a few steps.
——Even if he doesn't go home tonight, he spends the night in a 24-hour convenience store by the side of the road, or even spends money to get a room in a hotel, he is absolutely unwilling to risk his life and get through here.
