After coming out of the witch love divination café, Mochizuki Ayano got into a black SUV in the garage of Takashimaya Department Store.

"Chief, is everything going well?"

Personally drove her to accompany her, and it was Takeshi Iwata, the deputy section chief of the national character face.

"Sort of, although Natasha's divination is always unclear, countless facts have proved that her divination can best point to the essence of the event."

"So where do we go next?"

"Apply for funding from above, set up a spirit detective head around the Kuramae apartment, adopt remote monitoring mode, pay close attention to the changes in that place, and take action immediately if you find strange traces."

"Yes. As for Sousuke Araki......"

Hearing the words "apply for funding", a wry smile appeared on Takeshi Iwata's face.

Even for the Ninth Section, which has many privileges, the Metropolitan Police Department's funding is not so easy to apply.

After all, although there have been more and more supernatural cases in recent years, the actual losses caused are only a drop in the bucket compared to traffic accidents and homicides.

"Suspend the tracking of Sousuke Araki. At least according to the results of the divination, he is not the mastermind behind the scenes...... Moreover, the spirit detective set up in front of Kuramae's apartment can also monitor some of his actions by the way. We have more important things to focus on than this little bastard......"

"In the past week, there have been several more victims who have been attacked after work late at night, and the corners of their mouths have been cut behind their ears with what appears to be a murder weapon of giant scissors."

Takeshi Iwata handed her a file bag.

"Is there any evidence of sighting?"

"There are no survivors for the time being."

Takeshi Iwata shook his head helplessly.

Mochizuki Ayano carefully flipped through the information in the file bag, and even in the face of the bloody photos of the victims' faces being cut, she did not frown.

Then, Mochizuki Ayano used her phone to open a certain website page.

That's the 2CH Forum - Urban Legends section.

As her fingers swiped, hot posts updated in real time caught her eye, making her expression more and more cold.

"[Fan Adaptation] The Past and Present of the Dead Courier"

"[Rift Woman] Reasonable Circumference Speculation"

"[Headless Horseman] Mt. Haruna Sighting Report"

"[Nonsensical] Late at night in the convenience store, are they all alive?"

She casually clicked into one of the discussion threads about the Rip Girl.

Deep Rukia: In the lower science dog, synthesized the recent witness photos of the suspected rift woman from the netizen PO, and through the size of the things around the photo, he risked death and stayed up late for three days to make a lot of calculations, and finally succeeded in restoring the real measurements of the rift woman (PS: Unexpected material ԅ ( ̄『 ̄ԅ)), the detailed calculation process is as follows......

John Kang: Can you figure out that there is a G through the coat? Skepticism is expressed below.

KIYOMI said: Sticker, the size of the street lamp you refer to is wrong, attach the street lamp manufacturer size link to you, thank you.

Deep Rukia: Thanks, it looks like I'm going to have to stay up all night again and count again, I'll be back!!! （╯#-_-)╯╧═╧

Recruitment: Isn't this the "Fujiwara Bubble Bath" Kabukicho branch of Xiaomei, I only ordered her last month, her body is strong and skilled, and she has her own queen aura, and she wants to make an appointment for a private message on the phone, and there is a discount for reporting my name.

In addition to the heated discussions among netizens, several photos of a pretty girl wearing a red jacket and a white dress were also attached to the post, which seemed to be taken by different netizens with their mobile phones at night, which was extremely blurry.

"What kind of mess is this...... Let the information team continue to monitor and collect the latest sightings of the rift girl and summarize it to me. ”

Turning off her phone, Mochizuki Ayano lay down in her chair tiredly and closed her eyes.

……

Kuramae Apartment No. 102.

It was noon, and Sousuke Araki, who had finally been freed from the "seal of the toilet", started cooking with a rumbling stomach.

Next to the narrow, perforated stove, there are three simple ingredients...... They are cabbage (1 day expiry), microwave rice (1 day expiry) and pork belly (1 day expiry).

All three of these things he bought from a convenience store yesterday at a price that was almost equal to that of giving them away.

Since the apartment has not yet been equipped with a refrigerator, these three ingredients must be the highest priority.

In order to adapt to the fast-paced life in Japan, the ingredients in convenience stores are as "ready-to-eat" or "microwave-ready" as possible, and in order to maintain a high degree of deliciousness, even the microwave heat and time are marked with extreme precision.

For example, the cabbage on the table has been washed in advance, the pork belly has been cut into neat slices, and the rice is boiled and vacuum-sealed, and it can be eaten when heated.

Recently, even the green onions sold are cut and put into sealed bags by the factory, and the garlic paste is ground and made into toothpaste packaging.

"Hmph, next, it's time for me, the ruthless king of convenience store food."

Someone is chopping cabbage into pieces while giving a line from Form 2.

Living alone for many years, and working part-time in the restaurant industry, cooking is naturally a basic skill for Sosuke Araki.

Add the pork belly to a hot pan, and the fat of the fat part is fried with the aroma with the sizzling sound.

With the help of the fat of the pork itself, add cabbage and stir-fry it until it is shiny.

Finally, it is seasoned with the secret technique "Chinese Cuisine Seasoning - Back Pot Meat".

"Recently, convenience stores even have this kind of seasoning, which is getting more and more terrifying."

The cuisine of the Dragon Kingdom is vast and profound, spreading to Japan, and after localization, it has also developed its own style of "Chinese cuisine", accounting for half of the Japanese cuisine faction.

Although the varieties are similar, the real taste has been thoroughly "localized", which is far from the real dragon country cuisine.

But that didn't stop Sosuke Araki from expressing his homesickness.

Recently, convenience stores have launched "Chinese food seasonings", such as back-to-the-pot meat, mapo tofu, etc., which are very convenient.

After a while, a fragrant back to the pot meat was out of the pot.

Cover the pot with the meat on top of the stir-fried microwave rice and serve it with a cup of instant miso soup that only needs boiling water to brew, and Sousuke Araki's lunch is complete.

"Starved ......"

Sousuke Araki, who was hungry, immediately launched an attack on the large portion of food.

Although the rice at the convenience store is cooked in advance, it has undergone countless accurate tests by the manufacturer, and when heated, it tastes just right, in terms of texture, aroma, and moisture content.

The Q-bomb rice is mixed with fatty but not greasy back pot meat and crispy cabbage, and when chewed continuously, it blooms into a multi-layered deliciousness.

Finally, drink the sweet instant white miso soup to finish and remove the slight oiliness of the meat.

"Back to the pot meat stuffed high!"

After eating the meal with great satisfaction, Sosuke Araki gritted his teeth and looked at the apartment with four walls......

The apartment, which was neat when I first moved in, is now a terrible mess.

Half-drunk beer, messy magazines, various anime character figures, action movie discs, comic books, a somewhat leaky Lina, and an unassembled Gundam ......

"Before you go to work, go to the second-hand store in advance to buy home appliances. Before that, though......"

Thinking that he was still a few hours away from work, his eyes focused on a cardboard box in the corner.
