Warhammer 30k and the Great Tomb of Nazarick

Chapter 141 Suzuki Satoru

Suzuki Satoru woke up from his little bed. Although the damp and musty smell that had been in the air for years had not diminished at all and he had worked for fourteen hours straight yesterday, he was still full of energy today.

The chronic gastritis caused by long-term irregular diet and the periarthritis of the shoulder caused by long-term desk work suddenly disappeared a week ago.

Suzuki Satoru, who had been in a sub-healthy state for a long time, felt confused as to what was going on, but his body suddenly got better and better.

Since a week ago, Suzuki Satoru has not taken any painkillers or anti-anxiety drugs, and he no longer needs sleeping pills to help him fall asleep at night.

However, the self in the mirror seems more and more unfamiliar.

Suzuki's room is not big, it is only 8㎡. The largest piece of furniture in the room is a bed that can be folded at any time. This bed has three modes. It is usually a bed, and it can also be folded into a sofa. It can even be completely folded and hung on the wall.

There is a small compartment to the left of the bed, which contains a sink and a toilet.

Opposite Suzuki's bed is a legless table nailed to the wall, on which are placed the equipment needed for playing VR games and the computer for working overtime at home. Under the table is a shoe cabinet.

The loan for the VR equipment has been paid off, and there are still 24 installments left of the 48 installments for the computer.

Fortunately, ever since YGGDRASIL, the game that absorbed all of Suzuki Satoru's salary, was shut down, he has not found a new replacement, so he has temporarily retained part of his salary. If he can keep it up, he may be able to pay off the loan faster.

There is a small refrigerator and a wardrobe on the right side of the bed, and there is a small fan above the wardrobe.

There were no windows in Suzuki Satoru's room, only a small vent for ventilation, and a mirror with a cracked corner was attached to the door.

Suzuki Satoru uses this mirror to tidy up his appearance every day.

Suzuki is 28 years old this year. His appearance can only be described as ordinary. He is just an ordinary person with dark circles under his eyes and is a little thin.

But since a week ago, as his health miraculously improved, his face began to change.

At first, the dark circles disappeared, and then he gradually became stronger and more powerful. Today, when Suzuki Satoru looked in the mirror, he found that the corners of his mouth were stretched all the way to his ears, revealing all his teeth and bleeding gums. His eyebrows were lowered, and his eyes were wide open, staring straight ahead.

That expression was as if there was a wild beast filled with anger and malice in Suzuki Satoru's heart, ready to devour someone.

Suzuki Satoru was frightened by his reflection in the mirror. He quickly covered his face with his hands and closed his eyes tightly.

After opening his eyes again, Suzuki Satoru found that he had returned to his usual timid self in the mirror. Suzuki Satoru took several deep breaths to calm his nervousness. He couldn't go to work in the state he was in.

According to the new "Company Law", if an employee appears in public with expressions such as pain, anger, sadness, etc. that cause discomfort to the general public, he or she will be fined.

Suzuki walked barefoot to the bathroom, got a glass of water, and began to rinse his mouth and wash with the tap water that had a strange smell. He had to use it sparingly because water was very expensive, and it was said that the water price would increase by another 10% next month.

Suzuki has been very curious about the changes in his body lately. Although it is a good thing that his body is getting better, his current situation does not make sense at all. After all, Suzuki Satoru graduated from elementary school and knows some basic biological knowledge.

As far as he knew, there was nothing that matched his current symptoms.

Suzuki Satoru also wanted to see a doctor, but he didn't have time. The company did not allow leave. Even though he had worked diligently for several years, if he dared to take leave, his position would most likely be taken away by someone else the next day.

And the most important thing is that he has no money. Painkillers, sleeping pills, work stimulants and other things are very cheap. They have become people's necessities almost like food and water. But the cost of seeing a doctor is definitely not something that a small employee like Suzuki Satoru can afford.

It was just a basic checkup, not taking more than fifteen minutes, but it was enough for Suzuki Satoru to play through more than a dozen events in YGGDRASIL.

His parents died because they were too overworked and were reluctant to seek medical treatment.

So for Suzuki Satoru, it seemed that he had a choice, but in fact he had no choice at all. All he could choose was to either put the matter aside and drag it on, or to drag it on with trepidation. Suzuki Satoru chose the former.

In fact, Suzuki Satoru is a bit world-weary. He doesn't like to communicate with people in real life. For him, YGGDRASIL is an important spiritual sustenance. Now that YGGDRASIL has been shut down, he has no interest in other things.

Sometimes he would think that this might be good. If it was really a big problem, it would be nice to leave the world in such a comfortable way. After Suzuki simply packed up, he put on a gas mask and left home.

It is 6 o'clock in the morning now. Due to years of industrial pollution, the sky above the city is always blocked by black and gray clouds. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between morning and evening. There is a strong strange smell in the air, and sometimes you can see colorful smoke. Gas masks are almost a must for ordinary people in this world to travel.

On the way to the subway station, Suzuki also saw the police arresting a middle-aged woman and a girl of eight or nine years old from an apartment building. The drone following the police was loudly announcing the woman's crime and her upcoming trial to the surroundings.

It turned out that when it rained in the city two days ago, the mother and daughter secretly collected rainwater for use. All the rainwater in this city belongs to the company. Such behavior is a great blasphemy against the "Company Law" and an open provocation to the sanctity and inviolability of private property. It is a heinous crime and cannot be forgiven.

It is normal that the mother and daughter are unable to pay the fine. If anyone can afford tap water which is more expensive than oil, who would take the risk of collecting rainwater? But there is nothing they can do without money.

The mother and daughter will be sent to prison, where they will have to do heavy physical labor to compensate the company for its losses.

Although the girl is young, Neon has long taken children's free will into consideration, and children can engage in all kinds of work here.

Of course, out of humanitarianism and respect for human free will, if they do not want to fulfill their work obligations due to laziness, they can also use their organs to pay off their debts.

Not many people would pay attention to the mother and daughter. Things like this are too common and no big deal.

Suzuki Satoru shook his head and turned away. In the game, he had helped other players before, but in reality, he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

Carefully avoiding the fighting outside the subway station and entering the subway station, the air quality here is even worse than outside. The smell of excrement, vomit and decay fills the subway station.

Suzuki Satoru walked forward carefully, occasionally lifting a foot to avoid the filth on the ground and entering the subway platform. There were many people like him wearing suits and ties, waiting to go to work.

As the bell announcing the arrival of the subway rang, a bald man in his thirties wearing a cheap suit at the front of the line suddenly accelerated and rushed straight towards the oncoming subway.

At the last moment, Suzuki Satoru vaguely heard him shout "I don't want to be optimized."

With a bang, the man was knocked into a pile of blood mist mixed with minced meat, splattering everywhere. Some of it sprayed on the people on the platform, and some of it was smeared on the subway and the tracks.

The crowd immediately started cursing. They accused this person of having no sense of morality and causing so much trouble for everyone. If he delayed everyone's work and got deducted money, what would he do if he couldn't get full attendance?
Of course, no matter how much everyone cursed, no one dared to show an angry expression. If they really couldn't control their expression, they would quickly cover it with their hands.

It is illegal to show negative expressions in public places and you will be fined.

The subway is very familiar with suicide. The drone on the platform was immediately activated and ran into the subway station for a quick cleanup. At the same time, the subway station’s loudspeakers began broadcasting.

"Please note that subway stations are not illegal places. Suicide is strictly prohibited here. If you want to commit suicide, please make sure to die at home and call the funeral company before you die. Don't cause trouble for everyone."

Because Suzuki was standing relatively close, the blood splattered on his face.

But he himself did not notice that he licked the blood stuck to the corner of his mouth with his tongue. This behavior was seen by a subway station employee nearby, but since they were all workers, it was normal for them to have some mental abnormalities, so they did not care.

It only took the subway three minutes to reopen traffic. As the announcement of resumption of traffic was made, everyone rushed into the subway like crazy as if they were going to a battlefield.

It's rush hour and there are too many people, but fortunately several cars in this subway have no doors.

Some people who really can't squeeze in can also hang on to the subway by clinging to the outside of the car and pulling on the door frame. The subway company claims that out of humanitarian considerations, these people only need to pay the normal ticket price.

Even the subway stations have thoughtfully installed hooks and pull rings on the outside to facilitate those who don't get on the train.

Suzuki Satoru often used the hook outside before, but since his physical condition improved significantly a week ago, he has been able to successfully squeeze onto the subway every time and even grab a seat.

Although the seats in the subway have been used for who knows how many years and are full of odors and strange stains, as long as you are careful not to get your clothes dirty, it is always better to sit than to stand.
