If Maki gave up on becoming the Ghost Rider because his ideal of revenge had been achieved, then his inaction in the previous two weeks was simply because he was worried that Xiangzi would discover his identity.

Obviously, this is completely contrary to her philosophy.

Ability will not disappear because of fear, and responsibility will not be fulfilled by inaction.

Chuhua didn't want to waste the nights like she had done in the past few days. She could do more to bring even a glimmer of light to those who were still living in pain, instead of almost giving up her life as Spider-Woman just because of Xiangzi's warning.

After lunch, Chuhua said goodbye to Maki, left her apartment, and continued his journey of doing justice.

Every punch was a thief, every palm was a robber. Chu Hua felt that this day seemed to be extremely fulfilling.

It was not until late at night that Chu Hua returned to the old city and his apartment through the secret passage under the Tokyo city wall.

……

Looking back on this day, Chuhua felt that he had learned a lot.

A lot happened this weekend, she thought as she lay in bed.

As for why Maki's face looked so familiar, Chuhua couldn't think of an answer for the time being.

Forget it, Chu Hua rubbed his head and ignored it for now.

Tomorrow, I will probably be able to completely dig through the concrete wall in the attic tunnel, and then I will go and see what is inside.

I hope the stuff inside is worth my hard work over the past two days.

As Chu Hua thought about all these things, his eyelids became heavier and heavier until he fell into a deep sleep.

(ps: I didn’t have much inspiration today, so I posted it late (;′⌒`))

Volume 21: The Book of Fear: . Ego Mecum (I and the Self)

When Hua woke up, it was already Monday morning.

Obviously, going to the company at this time would inevitably make me late, and it would not be in line with my schedule.

Now most of my neighbors are not at home, so no matter how loud the noise is, no one will notice. This is the best time to do civil engineering work.

So Chu Hua sent a message to his secretary, telling her that he had something to do in the morning and would not go to the company.

This was a small corrupt privilege for her as a member of the ruling class. As long as Xiangzi didn't find out, she wouldn't get into any trouble.

He put on his Spider-Man suit, picked up the sledgehammer and drill he had prepared from the corner of the room, climbed up to the attic, and opened the secret door with iris recognition. He could see that the concrete wall below was already shattered into pieces, as if it would be completely reduced to powder in a few more hits.

Chu Hua climbed up the wall of the tunnel, raised the sledgehammer and shouted "Eight-ten!"

The hammer head fell down and hit the already broken wall hard, adding several more wrinkles to its cracked body.

Lift and drop, lift and drop, lift and drop...

After repeating this several times, the concrete wall finally couldn't hold up anymore and broke into several pieces and fell down.

Seeing that the task was accomplished, Chu Hua put the wall-breaking tools he had prepared back into the attic, and then carefully climbed down the wall.

This tunnel seemed quite deep, and Chuhua took a long time to get to the bottom.

At the bottom is a lifting platform.

"It seems this is the correct way to enter and exit," Chu Hua muttered, not knowing how the man managed to seal the passage with cement in mid-air.

However, the small concrete wall was unable to stop Spider-Woman.

Chu Hua jumped down from the wall and stood at the bottom of the tunnel. In front of him was a small door with a fingerprint lock.

Chu Hua placed his finger on the recognition area of ​​the fingerprint lock, and with a "ding" sound, the small door opened.

After entering this dark room that was hidden so deeply, the things inside were beyond Chu Hua's expectations.

In her opinion, this should be an abandoned escape route or secret base.

The dark room seemed to be several times the size of the apartment she lived in, and was clearly divided into different areas.

At one end of the dark room, a row of screens were monitoring many corners of Tokyo in real time. Next to it seemed to be a blackboard filled with photos, red lines and thumbtacks.

There seemed to be a photo of Xiangzi on the table.

Before he had time to take a closer look at these places that seemed to contain a lot of information, Chu Hua noticed another area that was obviously wrong.

There is a sofa, a coffee table, a stove and a refrigerator on the side. There is a coffee machine next to the stove and a small bed not far away.

This looks like a living area.

What's terrifying is that the refrigerator, like the screens, is still powered.

When I opened it, I saw some non-expired vegetables, meat, eggs, milk, and even some fresh coffee beans.

Everything in front of me reveals an indisputable fact: this safe house has not been abandoned and there are still people living in it!

Chuhua began to be glad that he chose to explore this ghost place in the morning. It seemed that the owner of this place was not here at the moment.

It is obvious that the people living here are not mutant beasts, but humans, who also have to work to earn money to eat.

Continuing to explore, Chu Hua found a lot of equipment with spider logos.

A spider silk shooter with the word "spare" written on it, a spider walkie-talkie slightly smaller than the one she modified herself, and some cans of spider silk liquid...

Then my previous guess can be completely confirmed that this is indeed the secret base of Spider-Woman in this world.

And now it seems that there is an unidentified person living here.

Chu Hua felt a little chilled at the thought of a stranger occupying Spider-Woman's lair and sleeping downstairs for several weeks.

Crossing the area where these equipment are stored, you can find another secret door. It seems that this unidentified guy has been using this door to enter and exit.

When I opened the secret door, I saw that it led directly downwards, which was the direction of the lower city.

So if this guy wants to go out, he has to go to the lower city first and then find another exit leading to the ground?

It seems that my existence has made this person's life very inconvenient.

For no reason, Chu Hua felt a little guilty towards the residents living downstairs.

But the next moment, the guilt suddenly disappeared.

"Wait, this is considered illegal invasion of someone else's home." Chu Hua suddenly thought.

Since Chu Hua and Spider-Woman in this world are both dead, theoretically all their rights and properties, including the house and Xiao Xiang, should belong to them.

Chu Hua, feeling somewhat indignant, decided to stay here and wait for the illegal intruder to come back so that he could confront him and have a good discussion about the ownership of this secret base.

Just as Chuhua continued to explore the basement, her cell phone suddenly rang.

When I took it out, I saw it was a call from my secretary, Runa Mizono.

"Didn't I say I had something to do this morning?" Chu Hua muttered impatiently to the other end after dialing the phone.

But the secretary on the other side sounded a bit more anxious: "President Sanjiao, President Toyokawa just sent us a notice saying he's coming to inspect. I suggest you come quickly."

Hearing this, Chu Hua immediately returned to his room without saying a word, changed his clothes, and prepared to rush to Fengchuan Building.

Let’s deal with the illegal intrusion later. The most important thing right now is to rush to the company immediately and not let Xiaoxiang down.

……

When Chu Hua rushed to the door of his office, he happened to see Xiangzi pushing the door open.

Chu Hua went up to her and gently put his hand on her shoulder, trying to calm his nervousness. He tried to ask in a relaxed tone: "Why did Saki come to my place today?"

Hearing Chu Hua's voice, Xiangzi turned to look at him. Seeing the sweat on Chu Hua's face and his chest rising and falling, he couldn't help but laugh softly: "It's almost noon. I want to ask you to have lunch together."

Xiangzi's smile was very nice, but it made Chuhua feel even more guilty.

On the way to the cafeteria with Xiangzi, Chuhua lowered his head and followed behind him carefully, just like a student who was caught skipping class by the teacher.

As he was walking, Chuhua felt someone holding his hand. He looked up and saw it was Xiangzi.

"Actually, if you don't want to come to the company, you can say hello to me."

Xiangzi held Chuhua's hand and led her forward.

The other person's body temperature and touch came from the palm of his hand, and along with it, Chu Hua also felt a hint of resentment and grievance.

Did Xiangzi worry about her after he found out she didn't go to work? Did he think he was fooling her after seeing her rushing over?

"No." Chu Hua said firmly, trying to convey his feelings to the other party, "I really like working here, and I have always taken the company very seriously. It's just... I did have something to do this morning... But I promise I won't let Saki-chan worry anymore!"

Looking at Chuhua's expression, Xiangzi seemed to understand what the other party meant.

She smiled slightly and said to Chuhua: "Then hurry to the cafeteria, Mutsumi should be waiting there~"

"Eh..." Chuhua's eyes suddenly became deep and dark, and he murmured to himself in a voice that only he could hear, "This is not my time together with Saki-chan..."

-----------------

Chuhua was as busy today as every day in the past few weeks.

I sat in my office in the afternoon and completed my work conscientiously.

At night, she puts on Spider-Woman's battle suit and sneaks into the new city area through the secret door of Tokyo's city wall, doing justice, helping others, and being a friendly neighbor to the citizens of Tokyo.

at the same time.

"See you tomorrow~"

VII The idea? The child was squatting. "Mana-chan, see you tomorrow."

After saying goodbye to his coworkers, another "Triangle Chuhua" also finished a day of hard work.

She returned to her shabby and cheap little dormitory.

It was strange that there were only a few simple pieces of furniture, and even the poorest people in Tokyo would feel shabby.

But "Chuhua" didn't feel anything different.

She locked the doors and windows, lifted the rotten carpet in the middle of the room, and entered the secret passage that no one knew about.

This secret passage is very long and deep, leading to a corner of downtown Tokyo.

Come out of the secret passage, then turn left and right, bypass those drooling mutant beasts, and you will find a new secret passage entrance.

Enter and then climb up for a few minutes, and you will return to the truly warm home belonging to this "Chuhua".

The commute to and from get off work is indeed a long one, but it is still necessary for her now.
