Chapter 001: Tokyo Bay Bridge
Masayoshi Kishimoto stood on the Tokyo Bay Bridge and felt the gentle breeze on his face. He was facing Tokyo Bay and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.
He was not originally a native of the island, but because of a time playing computer games for too long, resulting in sudden cardiac death. Not only was he reborn in the island country, but he had also returned to December 1, 1997 again.
Masayoshi Kishimoto’s brow was furrowed and his face did not stretch, and he also sighed and shook his head every now and then. He looked down at the rolling waters of Tokyo Bay under the bridge, and a thought flashed inside his head.
If this were to die again, would it revert back to China on March 1, 2019? The risk was definitely there, and it was particularly high.
What if, after his death, he did not return to China to be resurrected, but directly died, and then became the belly of the fish and shrimp in the sea water of Tokyo Bay, and is not it too wrong to die?
He obtained a rebirth opportunity that cannot be explained by scientific theories, naturally he should cherish it. However, he still missed everything from his previous life.
Kishimoto Justice’s body leaned forward, hands on the Tokyo Bay Bridge side of the guardrail above, a foot just raised on the railing above, not yet over, he heard a voice behind him said: “Young people, do not impulsive, no can not pass the hurdle.
You are still young, don’t do anything stupid. You should think more about your loved ones. They are still waiting for you to return inside the home.”
Masayoshi Kishimoto froze for a moment, he himself had never thought of committing suicide in the first place, he just wanted to feel that kind of excitement out of the blue, thus completely dispelling the thoughts and fantasies that lightening up would make it possible for him to come back to life and go back.
He did not put the raised right foot to put down, sideways along with the direction of the sound is to look over, see a wearing a conspicuous sign of volunteers are standing not far away is a nervous look at himself.
When the other party came, he knew nothing at all. How long he had been here, he also knew nothing. The reason why he was targeted by the volunteers was because he stayed on the Tokyo Bay Bridge for too long, which caused a camera installed on the bridge to capture him, and then transmitted to the screen of the monitoring room.
The Tokyo Bay Bridge in Tokyo is also known by the creepy name of Suicide Bridge. So, in order to reduce the number of suicides jumping from the top of this bridge, is to organize a volunteer team.
Once an abnormality is detected on the bridge, a volunteer will rush to the location for a physical check. If found suicidal, will certainly be a counseling, save a life is better than building a seven-floor pagoda.
Especially at this particularly sensitive point in time, there will be more suicides than in the past. After all, at this time the island is undergoing a huge disaster that has evolved from the Southeast Asian financial turmoil into the Asian financial turmoil.
Kishimoto justice stared at the other side of the face full of confusion, all of the actual situation of the island country does not have more in-depth to do more understanding.
The island’s suicide rate is at the top of the list, and contrary to the beautiful Japanese dramas, there are stressful exams, brutal competition for jobs, and poor and lonely old people.
It’s not just the celebrities we know who commit suicide, but also a lot of old people who are in a state of hopelessness. This is not just a personal problem, but a serious social problem.
The polarization and aging of society are getting worse and worse, and with it comes poverty and loneliness of people, fierce competition in schooling, and difficulty in employment.
The children of the island are the unhappiest people in the world. They learn at an early age that their country has an extraordinary variety of pressures that exist in the world.
“Suicide, doesn’t solve everything. If you die just like that, how painful it will be for your family, especially your parents, who will be sent away in vain.” The volunteer carefully counseled while trying to want to get closer to the other Dao.
Seeing how nervous the other party looked, Masayoshi Kishimoto wanted to laugh from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn’t. He couldn’t tell the truth.
At that time, if he was scolded by others, his face would not be honored. An adult with a mature mind would never do such a boring thing.
Furthermore, was suicide something that could be casually used as a joke? However, this action of his own was indeed a suspicion of suicide.
Masayoshi Kishimoto felt what it meant to be in a difficult position. For a moment, he didn’t know whether he should put his feet down from the top of the railing, or continue to keep them there?
“When one lives, there is hope. Think carefully and carefully about how small a probability it is to be able to turn into a human being in the first place. In school, the knowledge about this is something you should have learned as well.
Secondly, even if you are able to succeed in being born, you will still encounter this or that kind of danger that exists. Many people have accidents and lose their precious lives before they even reach adulthood.
A day that you find particularly boring is a day that a lot of people seek. At the end of the day, you think a lot about the people you love and the people who love you.” The volunteer intoned in order to try and save a life.
The more Masayoshi Kishimoto listened to the sincerity and earnestness of the other man’s words, the more he felt like he couldn’t get off the ground. He couldn’t even if he wanted to find an excuse or reason to take advantage of the situation.
While he was a bit dumbfounded, he listened to the words of the other party. As this volunteer said, it is not easy to become a person living in this world. As for living lightly, it was easier than living.
The volunteer approached Masayoshi Kishimoto step by step, as if he was worried about waking a sleeping person. He saw that he didn’t show any particular agitation, as well as saying something like “Don’t come over again, if you come over again, I’ll jump,” which was enough to show that the other party’s determination to commit suicide wasn’t strong enough, and that there was a chance to make a save.
“If you trust me, tell me your business. Speaking out, this heart will feel better.” The volunteer didn’t relax the thought of directly pouncing over and grabbing him.
Justice Kishimoto instantly thought above the matter of his own rebirth to come here and said, “You wouldn’t understand. Even if I say it, you won’t believe it and will only think I’m a psychopath.”
The volunteer got closer and closer to his side and said, “Since you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it! You have to firmly believe that difficulties are temporary and will always pass. You’re still so young, there are plenty of opportunities in the future.”
Masayoshi Kishimoto began to take the initiative to put down the foot that was resting on top of the railing. There was nothing left except for a slight tingling sensation in his right foot.
Masayoshi Kishimoto just had to cooperate, loosening his grip on the railing with both hands, then clenching his fists tightly and pumping, “Eh, I’ll definitely live well.”
The volunteer was really relieved to see that he had given up on the idea of living lightly and said, “That’s right!”
