"The first time, when I received a note that said 'It's your turn,' I thought it was a kid who was playing a prank on that rumor...... It wasn't until I lost Saori that I didn't know that those neighbors were not joking......"

In the interrogation room, Kenta Oishi's eyes became more and more dim under the spotlight.

"Neighbors? Are you the residents of the Kuramae apartment? ”

Listening to the other party's narrative, Takeshi Iwata couldn't help but interject.

"Yes, it's the neighbors who are dead, but they are still pestering us, and it seems that more and more people are drawn into that game!"

"Why don't you move out?"

"Moving away, does it work? We had already moved out when Saori was pestered and tortured by those 'neighbors', and even I reported the case to the police station, and I visited many 'high-ranking people'......"

Kenta Oishi shook his head slightly, smiling self-deprecatingly.

"It's useless to do anything, and no one believes us, it's just a neurosis. No matter where we are, those 'neighbors' will still come to us and hold an 'orientation' for us...... After Saori died, I received another note...... After moving and resisting many times, Ji Xiang still left me......"

In his bland words, the terrible experience revealed shocked everyone in the audience.

"Not long after I completely lost Saori and Norika, I received that note again...... I know, this time, it's my turn! If those 'neighbors' want me to kill strangers, I'll do as they wish......"

As he spoke, Kenta Oishi's expression gradually distorted and frenzied: "After killing a homeless man, those 'neighbors' didn't find me again for the time being...... So, after that, I simply moved back......"

"yes, I didn't think so, I moved back...... Even if my hands are covered in blood and I finally accept the punishment of the law, I want to find out what these 'neighbors' want......"

Looking at Kenta Oishi, who kept talking as if venting, Mochizuki Ayano and Takeshi Iwata only felt a numb in their backs.

Kenta Oishi, who inadvertently mastered the strange rules of "exchange killing" in Kuramae's apartment because of murder, is so cruel to others and himself.

“…… As it turned out, I was right to go back. ”

Speaking of this, Kenta Oishi had a sickly smile on his face.

"Why ......"

"Because, everybody's back......"

"Everyone?"

"That's right...... The neighbors who died because they didn't perform the 'swap killing game' all went back to their rooms and went about their lives at night...... Occasionally, they will become unusually aggressive and hold an 'orientation party' for tenants who don't play by the 'rules of the game'. ”

Kenta Oishi used an emotionless voice to describe his five years of creepy life experiences.

"The most important thing is ...... Although I don't know where Saori went, at least Ji Xiang is back...... She showed up in our house and lived happily ever after with me......"

"So, you're just watching tenants get killed because of it? When our people came to you to understand the situation, didn't you think about asking for help? ”

Hearing this, Takeshi Iwata couldn't help but ask with a low roar.

According to the incomplete statistics of Lesson 9, there are dozens of residents who moved into Kuramae apartments because of low rents, and then died.

However, due to various reasons such as the intervention of the consortium, the complexity of the cause of death, the different locations of death, and the lack of detection of grievances, although the ninth section also sent people to investigate, in the end, because there was no evidence, the case could not be opened and the apartment building was sealed.

"Hey, hey, hey, I told you, can Ji Xiang and Saori come back to life?! What does it matter to me that those people die? When we needed help, who cared about our family? Besides, every time someone dies because of the 'orientation', I will have a 'bye' for a while. ”

"The only reason for me to live is to accompany Ji Xiang and prevent her from going out and becoming a monster like those 'neighbors' upstairs......"

Kenta Oda didn't care about the cruel facts, and suddenly began to think like crazy: "Ji Xiang is different, Ji Xiang is still saved, Ji Xiang has never killed anyone, and there is no such gloomy feeling on his body......"

It seems that he is deeply guilty for failing to protect his daughter before she is alive.

"Since I brought her into this world as a father, even after her death, I have to fulfill my responsibility to protect her!"

Listening to Kenta Oishi's description, Mochizuki Ayano was thoughtful.

Could it be that this man has killed countless people and lived with spirits for a long time in that kind of place where resentment gathers, so he has opened a faint spiritual sense, so he can discern the resentment on the spirits?

According to Kenta Oda, as the number of tenants continued to decrease, for a long time, he even became the sole occupant of Kuramae Apartment.

“…… Until, for some reason, Ms. Sawada moved in. ”

"Ms. Sawada?"

"I don't know what her name is, it's just a nickname I gave her without permission...... She always wears a white mask, goes out at night, and comes back close to early in the morning...... Through the door, I could feel a stronger sense of gloom and a faint smell of blood in her than those 'neighbors......"

Kenta Oda's complexion became paler for some reason, and the fine sweat on his forehead became more and more.

Hearing his words, Mochizuki Ayano gently pinched the hem of her skirt.

She once visited Kuramae's apartment at night, and naturally heard who the woman who Kenta Oda called "Miss Sawada" was.

Rip Girl.

"After all this time, you still haven't explained the reason why you suddenly turned yourself in."

Takeshi Iwata, on the side of the interrogation room, tries to steer the question back to the original place.

"I've already said it because I don't have any point in going on......"

With a mad roar, a wisp of blood flowed from the corner of Kenta Oda's mouth.

"Thanks to that guy, I sent Ji Xiang away......"

But a happy smile bloomed on his face.

"It's not good, Kenta Oda may have taken poison in advance before turning himself in!!"

Realizing something, several agents immediately rushed in and took out first-aid tools to wash his stomach.

"It didn't have to be in vain, I took the wax pill in advance, and it was the same cyanide as those homeless people's suits...... I wanted to experience their dying pain. ”

Kenta Oishi wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, calmly stopped the movements of several agents, and continued his narration.

"Everything has changed since that guy came......"

Drops of sweat gradually appeared on his pale face because of the pain.

"The 'neighbors' upstairs disappeared one by one, and the apartment at night was also silent...... After that, I didn't receive any more notes, and it seems that the 'swap killing game' has also stopped...... After that, even Miss Sawada never appeared again......"

"Who the hell is that guy? Or rather, what is it?! ”

Hearing his words, Takeshi Iwata and Ayano Mochizuki turned pale.

Could it be that after the Rift Girl, there is some unknown weirdness that has settled in that apartment and devoured those resentful spirits?

"It doesn't matter who that guy is...... Importantly, there's one more terrible thing that has been there from start to finish......"

The spirited Kenta Oda didn't seem to hear their question, he spat out a mouthful of blood again, and the whole person fell directly on the table, angry: "...... Be careful...... That door ......"

"The door?"

Takeshi Iwata hurriedly stepped forward and put his ear to the other person's mouth, trying to hear every word he said.

"I don't know...... That door that suddenly appeared, what it meant. Ji Xiang said that behind the door, there is another world......"

“…… Ji Xiang, Hayori, I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time. ”

Muttering in a low voice, Kenta Oda closed his eyes with a relieved expression.

On the day his wife and daughter left, he was already dead, and all that was left was a walking corpse-like shell.
