Rain continued to pour over the Kabukicho area. The district-wide protests had raged from evening until midnight and had yet to fully disperse.
That factory zone was first crippled by a power outage, after which the mob stormed several of its workshops and buildings. The chaos only settled when large numbers of riot police and Santou Security arrived to suppress it.
But the street dogs had accomplished their two main goals for the night—occupying the talent show stage and rescuing the little mice—so the crowd was more than satisfied.
The street mice abducted earlier were already scurrying back to the streets, rowdy and bustling.
The low-tech tribe headed back to the Low-Tech Ground. Both Jane and Captain Sway told Gu He he was welcome to visit anytime; if he ever wanted to join the low-tech tribe and live a more authentic life, all the better.
Gu He had no such plans for the time being. The only thing he had left at the Low-Tech Ground was a set of clothes, which he could always pick up later.
Carrying his Thermos Cup, he got into Lorna's Off-Road Vehicle and headed back to Shuhui Street.
The neon-lit, sleepless streets were still ablaze with noise, promising a night filled with blaring music.
In the narrow alley next to the Licai Club, the fat stray cat nimbly bounded past as the front door of the Fishpond izakaya opened.
