"Bang!"
He shouted too late.
As Miyata Junren ran through the safety door area, the alloy door descended again, knocking him down and pressing him to the ground.
And the descent of the safety door was so clever, leaving a gap that tightly pinned Miyata Junren immobile, without crushing him to death on the spot.
"Ahahaha! Ahahahaha!" That signature laughter echoed from the hallway broadcast, saturated with sarcasm, like a hunter toying with its prey.
The alloy door continued to heat up in the flames, and the floor temperature was extremely high too, making Miyata Junren like a piece of teppanyaki trapped under pressure, emitting sizzling sounds as his flesh was burnt to a pulp.
This process wasn't instantly fatal; it was slow and excruciating, breaking him down into desperate tears and pleading, "I'm sorry, Zero! I'm sorry! I failed you and your friends, it's all my fault! Please, let me go!!!"
