Chapter 59: Fortune and Misfortune (Part 3)

The sunset of summer should have been a deep red like a rose. Although it was beautiful, it was fleeting.

However, the sunset tonight presented a kind of ominous sauce purple. The direction the balcony faced was exactly the northwest. A large group of weird purple light erupted from the bottom of the skyline, blooming with distorted brilliance.

Bursts of demon wind ravaged Miss Luo Quan's eardrums. Dense birds and bats made panicked hisses and fled in panic toward the distance. At this moment, the ghost gate of the underworld seemed to open suddenly in the world, and countless ghosts and chaotic phenomena poured into the world.

Indescribable fear was like a big hand, gripping Miss Luo Quan's throat, making breathing difficult. Her pupils lost focus and she fell into memories.

She and Wen Xia had encountered similar situations before. In the previous life, it was in May.

"Go back to the room quickly!" Junzi was the first person to wake up from the chaos. The gentle voice actually became a bit sharp, but it also made Miss Luo Quan and Wen Xia come back to their senses instantly.

Just as they walked into the room, the ground began to shake. The three women quickly dove and crawled under the long dining table. At the same time, the mobile phone belonging to Miss Luo Quan's Chunzi suddenly emitted a sharp, shrill alarm.

This is a unique function of Japanese mobile phones. Every time a major disaster occurs, an alarm will occur. Many Japanese people jokingly say that this alarm sound is even more terrifying than the disaster.

As the shaking of the building intensified, the furnishings in the room gradually tilted, and the dull rumbling sound filled the entire room. The dust on the ceiling fell down.

The three women squatted under the table holding their heads. Miss Luo Quan and Junzi, who had recovered their calmness, looked quite calm, while Wen Xia looked quite panicked.

"This building is so high, can it hold up?" Wen Xia's voice carried a crying tone. They were on the 20th floor now, and it was basically impossible to escape from this building under such circumstances. If the building collapsed, they might not even be able to leave a whole body.

"It's okay, high-rise buildings in Japan have all been earthquake-proofed, and they can withstand an 8-magnitude earthquake!" Miss Luo Quan paused and added: "And this is not a direct-type earthquake, and the swaying from side to side will not cause too much damage to the building."

Junzi nodded: "Yes, this battle is not particularly big. The Fukushima earthquake five years ago shook more violently than now. That was a direct-type earthquake, and it felt like the whole building was jumping!"

"That's good..." Wen Xia breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart still trembled with the shaking room, and she couldn't calm down for a moment.

About two minutes later, the shaking finally stopped. Earthquakes are like this, coming fast and going fast. The sky outside the balcony returned to its normal color, the birds and bats had long disappeared, and only the tilted furniture in the room and the dust on the ground proved that everything that just happened was not an illusion.

"Survived..." Wen Xia rubbed her temples. Excessive fright and tension made her head ache. She originally wanted to drink some water, but found that tableware such as kettles, cups, and plates had fallen from the cupboard to the ground in the kitchen, which was a mess.

People's reaction to this earthquake was very fast. In less than five minutes, the internet was full of discussions about the earthquake.

"A 7.8-magnitude earthquake occurred in the Ogasawara Islands!"

This news quickly topped the Japanese Twitter hot search. The comments soon exceeded 100,000. Most of them were reporting safety, and some kind-hearted people called for people near the coast to go to high places to avoid being drowned by the tsunami.

In fact, in Japan, very few people die directly from earthquakes. Most of them are victims of the subsequent tsunami.

However, the Japan Meteorological Agency (Japan Earthquake Bureau) quickly issued a statement, saying that this earthquake would not trigger a tsunami, please do not cause unnecessary panic among the nationals.

Subsequently, Japanese TV stations also quickly interrupted the emergency news to inform the nationals of the disaster situation of the Ogasawara earthquake.

Although the magnitude was very large, there were no reports of casualties so far, which can be considered the luckiest among the unfortunate.

And Tokyo TV played cartoons as usual. Seeing this scene, the Japanese people finally felt relieved, which was quite a bit of "if you are safe, it is a sunny day."

Because of its special geographical location, Japan has thousands of earthquakes every year. Of course, most of them are small earthquakes without any feeling, but strong earthquakes also occur every year. The people of the country are long used to earthquakes.

Just like those newspaper offices and news workers, their first reaction when an earthquake occurred was not to find cover, but to take their own equipment and aim at the crowd, recording everything that happened during the earthquake.

The most famous one was the Fukushima earthquake. The Japanese Prime Minister was giving a speech in the Diet when the earthquake occurred. As soon as the earthquake occurred, all reporters aimed their cameras at the Prime Minister, saying: "Today we are risking our lives to share the ugly state of Japanese politicians fleeing for their lives with the whole world. Please pay more attention and support!"

In the words of these news workers, it is: I can't flee for my life, I still have a wife and children. If I die, there is insurance and pension. If I run and get fired, I can only starve to death on the street with my whole family.

Although it sounds laughable, this is indeed something that has happened. Although most Japanese people cannot ignore earthquakes like these news workers, compared to people in other countries, they still have a relatively high psychological endurance for earthquakes.

So this earthquake didn't attract as much attention in China as abroad. At least after China learned of this news, the top of the Weibo list was all hot searches related to it.

In addition to caring about the disaster situation of the Japanese earthquake, some people also care about whether those stars in Japan have had accidents. Wen Xia and Miss Luo Quan were both on the list, and both quickly posted on Weibo to report safety, which also made fans feel slightly relieved while hitting the hot search.

Originally, this earthquake didn't cause any casualties and should have gradually subsided after being on TV, but at noon the next day, Japan had another earthquake!

"A 7-magnitude earthquake occurred in Kumamoto Prefecture!"

This was a situation that was not expected at all. The Ogasawara Islands just had a 7.8-magnitude earthquake, and the next day Kumamoto Prefecture had a 7-magnitude earthquake. And because the earthquake center was relatively densely populated, this earthquake caused 49 people to die, and more than 1,000 people were injured! 【59-

This was the highest-level earthquake ever recorded in the history of Japan's Kyushu region, and also the one that had caused the most casualties since the Great Fukushima Earthquake. The continuous major earthquakes left all of Japan shrouded in a dark cloud. They were afraid of whether there would be another earthquake, and whether the epicenter of that earthquake would be right where they lived.

People's worries became reality, and reality is often even more intense than what people fear. The day after the Kumamoto earthquake occurred, misfortune struck again.

"A 6.6-magnitude earthquake has occurred in Hokkaido; forty people have perished, and the number of injured exceeds 600!"
