"Head...... It hurts......"

Suzu Honju climbed up from the cold floor, and it was pitch black.

"Where am I?"

She rubbed her aching scalp, trying to remember what she had been through.

The last thing that remained on her mind was sitting at Suzuna-an's desk and eating noodles with Kazuhiko. Then, all of a sudden, the lights went dark, and then ......

Although it was vague, she remembered that in the silent darkness, she saw a pair of blood-red eyes...... That's what she's seeing right now.

"Are you awake?"

The whisper of greeting poured into Suzu's ears like a cold wind, and goosebumps ran from the top of her head to the tip of her toes.

"Whoa!"

With a pungent smell of sulfur, a faint flame lit up Suzu's vision. Kazuhiko Fujii stood right in front of her, holding a long match in his hand to light the stove.

"How do you feel, is there anything uncomfortable?"

Kazuhiko lit the small lamp hanging on the wall, then shook his hand and extinguished the match.

The lights were dim, but they were enough to illuminate a room that wasn't very big. Stoves, pots and pans, rice buckets, cured meat, looking around, Suzu realizes that she is in a kitchen.

"I'm ......"

"You're in my kitchen right now. Kazuhiko interrupted Suzu, "Do you know why you're here?"

"Why?"

"Because I'm hungry and want something to eat. ”

With that, Kazuhiko gave Suzu a toothy smile. Through the orange-yellow light, Xiao Ling saw his face clearly:

His red eyes and sharp teeth clearly did not belong to human blood. And that weird smile also made him look like a jackal.

Xiaoling only felt cold, extremely cold, so cold that her limbs were numb, but the sweat on her back couldn't stop.

The boy named "Kazuhiko Fujii" standing in front of Suzu at this time is not the same person as the Kazuhiko who has played with her since she was a child, and Suzu realized this almost instantly. For her, that smiling face, which was as familiar as a brother, had never been so unfamiliar.

Never, like this, had scared her......

"And ...... Kazuhiko?"

Suzu didn't know whether to call out the name or not, she instinctively took a few steps back, but unexpectedly stepped on a small bucket, stumbled, and fell to the ground.

"Buzz—"

A large number of flies flew out of the small barrel under her feet, and the room was scattered. A heavy, rotting smell of flesh wafted out of the bucket along with them and hit Suzu's face. She hurriedly pulled her foot out of it, and then glanced into the bucket......

Her brain went almost blank.

It was a small bucket made of bamboo strips, which was used as a garbage can in the kitchen, and was sold everywhere in the city. In that bucket, there was only one arm.

The human arm, highly rotten, limp and crawling with maggots. Xiao Ling's kick also deformed it, and the skin on its surface was like a persimmon skin that had been rubbed into the mouth, and the thick juice flowed everywhere.

"Uh......h Uh-huh......"

Suzu covered her mouth, tears streaming down her cheeks. Her stomach twitched, and she wanted to vomit, but she was so nervous, so scared, that she couldn't even throw up.

"It's annoying, Suzu. ”

Kazuhiko squatted down, held the overturned trash can up, and said to Xiaoling with a smile:

"I don't want you to see this...... Well, although I didn't deliberately hide it......"

As he spoke, he peeled off the bandage that had wrapped around his left hand, round by round. Suzu saw that under the bandage, there was a pale but very strong arm, and there were still very conspicuous stitch marks near the elbow - it was obviously not Kazuhiko's original arm.

"You...... You cut off your own hand......" Suzu trembled, pointing to Kazuhiko's left arm and said, "and ...... Whose hands do you put ...... Got it?"

"Hehehe......"

Kazuhiko smiled, the fangs in his mouth as sharp as razor.

"It's like a small bell, and even in this case, she can immediately recognize the essence of things. ”

"When I grow up, I want to be the 'Gensokyo Chief Yokai Hunter'...... I told you, right?" he said, "but I've never said, 'I'm going to be human forever when I grow up,' right?"

"You know what? I was standing by when that vampire, Nalan Twilight, was fighting the mastermind of the last mutation, and I witnessed everything. ”

"The two of them are really monsters, real monsters, and we are completely from two worlds. I knew right away that I would never be able to defeat a monster like that in my life. No, let alone defeat, I don't even have the qualifications to fight them. ”

"The power of human beings is too small, too small, compared to those monsters who live with heaven and earth, we are a reed, a reed that can think, a reed that can only think. You and I can't do anything but fantasize, pray, dream. ”

"I once vowed to avenge my dead father, and I soon realized how ridiculous I was. Anger that doesn't match strength is pure bullshit, unless ......"

As he spoke, he raised his left hand. He stared at the palm of that hand, and said intoxicatedly:

"That stupid shrine maiden left me alone at the shrine gate to guard the vampire's corpse - that was the biggest mistake she could make in her life. Do you know how painful it is to chop off a hand? Do you want to try it?"

"No...... Don't want to ......"

Suzu moved back again until only a wall was left behind her. Kazuhiko, on the other hand, slowly stood up, turned his back, and slowly paced to the other end of the kitchen, to the knife holder.

"But I thought. ”

As he spoke, he took out the longest watermelon knife from the knife holder. The cold light shone on Suzu's face and choked her neck. At this time, the blood flowing into Xiao Ling's brain along her neck was all cold and with ice slag.

"Because I'm hungry, no, I'm thirsty. Holding the knife in one hand, Kazuhiko turned around and walked towards Suzu, "I hope you can understand what I mean correctly, Suzu ......"

He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. This action made him look incredibly sick, like a psychopathic homicidal maniac.

The sound of his footsteps was like the death knell of death, and with each ring, the little bell was one step closer to death. She didn't even have time to get up from the ground, she just rolled over, landed on all fours like a dog, and was about to run out of the ground.

Unfortunately, Kazuhiko's left hand pressed down in time, locking her ankle like an iron gate, completely crushing the possibility of escape.

Suzu rolled over, just in time to see the blade raised high, and Kazuhiko's distorted, almost crazy face.

"I'm sorry, Suzu!" he roared, as excited as champagne gushing out, "I want your blood, now!"

"Babble-"

Suzu's sanity collapsed.

"Boom!"

Before the knife could fall, the wall next to the two collapsed without warning. Then, a glowing white object flew out of the pile of crumbling rubble and slammed into Kazuhiko's body, sending him flying.

"Excuse me, routine search!"

In the smoke that gradually dissipated, Suzu saw several familiar faces.

"Have you ever seen a girl who looks like a bumper bucket?"
