The flashlight shines in the direction from which the sound came.

In the dark corner, a bloody face appeared in front of Kinoshita Kiyomi.

The skin was brutally stripped away, leaving only the muscle tissue still clinging to it.

The eyeballs seemed to jump out of their sockets, full of resentment.

A horrific death.

It couldn't be worse.

The strong smell of blood came from here.

"Wow~"

Rice whimpered softly again, but this time it was with vigilance and deterrence.

However, Kinoshita Kiyomi illuminated the entire alley, and did not find the voice of a second living person.

Only on the corpse's body, a voice recorder was found, which was constantly repeating.

"Damn! Tricked by him again! ”

Kinoshita Kiyomi rarely had a little impatience in his heart.

This criminal not only began to commit crazy crimes, but his personality and style of acting were far more flamboyant and obedient than before, as if he had been stimulated by some kind of stimulation.

Teasing the police over and over again.

Even an experienced police officer like Kinoshita Kiyomi was made irritable.

When I think of the time he played, it is very likely that an innocent person died, and was brutally treated like this.

The impatience intensified.

How many people has he killed!?

- I know that this is what the other party wants to achieve, but I still can't avoid it.

"Calm down...... Calm ......"

Kiyomi Kiyomi muttered in a low voice.

Inexplicably, I thought of Aono's handsome face, and my mood unexpectedly settled down.

"Only by being calm can we catch him faster!"

Convinced, Kinoshita Kiyomi informs the others to collect the poor man's body while continuing to search for the murderer.

12 midnight.

At this time, the chaos in Kabukicho was almost under control, and the police were still busy, but most of the tourists and idlers were slowly evacuating from these streets.

The only guests in [Fantasy Dream] also began to leave one after another.

"Firefly-kun, you should go home as soon as possible."

Keiko Shiraishi stood at the door of [Fantasy Dream], her eyes were still reluctantly glued to Aono, eager to knock him unconscious and carry him home, and then do whatever she wanted.

Of course, she could only think about it.

"If you encounter that kind of perversion, it's too dangerous."

"Mm-hmm, I'll be careful."

Aono smiled and nodded, thanking Keiko Shiraishi for her kindness.

"Keiko, you have to be careful on the road."

After sending Keiko Shiraishi away, the customers in the store were almost clean.

A few cowherds also began to pack their things and prepare to go home.

Kabukicho is a bit dangerous now, but they are still very much in line with the murderer's murder conditions, and of course it is better to go home early.

While it's not very chaotic outside, it's definitely wise to leave early.

The cowherds are not stupid, they all know that acting alone is death.

The people who usually have a good relationship with each other walked together, ready to leave this place of right and wrong together.

Aono naturally followed Amamiya Hitomi's side.

The group closed the door and walked towards the exit of Kabukicho.

Even if the street lights were still on, the faint light didn't give them much security.

- Judging from the performance of the police, the murderer is likely to be hiding somewhere on this street.

But halfway through, a cowherd's face suddenly turned pale.

Yamada-kun...... Have you ever seen Yamada-kun? ”

"Shota Yamada?"

Amamiya Hitomi's expression also changed suddenly.

This is a newcomer in the store, because his appearance is not outstanding, and he is a little wooden, so his presence in the store has never been very high.

"Did he come to work today?"

"Yes, definitely!"

The cowherd's tone was firm.

"Just before leaving, he said he was going to go to the toilet and ......"

"This ......"

Hitomi Amamiya's expression was even more ugly.

But he didn't open his mouth to rebuke the cowherd.

Everything has already happened, and this cowherd must have just realized it.

"I—I thought he was behind us."

This person couldn't help crying, very self-reproachful and flustered.

In the unlikely event that this negligence causes Shota Yamada to be in danger, I ...... I......

"Yamada-kun won't be locked up in the store, will he?"

"Did he call you?"

The other cowherds asked worriedly.

The relationship between the cowherds in [Fantasy Dream] is okay, and there are few intrigues like women, but because of the system of seniors and seniors, the attitude is relatively friendly.

"Toot-toot-"

Thinking of this, this cowherd immediately dialed Shota Yamada's number.

It's just that on the phone, there is only a busy tone.

"———— Toot

The hearts of the people sank to the bottom.

Should it be .......

They have the worst associations.

It's like there's a boulder pressing down on people, and they're breathless.

The first to make a decision was Hitomi Amamiya.

This senior, who is relatively short among the cowherds, burst out with a momentum far beyond ordinary people.

"Don't say so much, come a few people, let's go back together to see the situation!"

"Did anyone sign up voluntarily?"

Hitomi Amamiya looked around at the people around her.

But at this point, the handsome men looked away one by one, not daring to look at Amamiya Hitomi.

It's like a student who is about to be named by the teacher in class.

The head is shrunk like an ostrich.

This is actually human nature.

The relationship between the cowherds is indeed okay, but it is only "okay".

But the ones who may fall into danger are still newcomers who are not very familiar.

The cowherds have no reason to put him in danger.

What's more, there are so many people here, there will always be someone else besides yourself, right?

Human beings, always selfish creatures.

Especially in the face of life.

"I'll go, I'll go!"

Aono raised his hand, like the only student in the classroom who interacted with the teacher.

I don't fit in with the people next to me.

The flower of the flock.

If it was the Dough Peeler, he really wanted to see it!

Hitomi Amamiya frowned helplessly, if he could, he didn't want Aono to face this crisis the most.

"What about you?"

Hitomi Amamiya looked at the cowherd who first discovered that Shota Yamada was missing.

"I ...... I ....."

He was cowardly, holding back for a long time, and his face turned red.

But in the end, he was suddenly deflated and lowered his head dejectedly.

"Alright then, Aono, let's go."

Amamiya Hitomi didn't make any comments, and went straight to Aono and ran back.

At this time, if you go back quickly, Shota Yamada will have a better chance of surviving.

The cowherds who stayed in place, although they didn't feel that they had done anything wrong, the atmosphere was very gloomy.

Dejectedly, he walked towards the exit.

"Toot-toot-drip!"

But at this time, the number of Shota Yamada dialed was suddenly connected.

"Hi~"

Hoarse, indistinguishable voices came from men and women.

It's like a cold wind in the wax moon, which makes people chill all over.

- This is by no means Yamada-kun's voice!

"Do you want to come and see my collection too?"
