The sky was overcast, and it was only about four o'clock in the afternoon, but it was already dark, and the dome of Tokyo today revealed an unusual sense of oppression.

The rain hasn't fallen yet, but it's not far away.

At the junction of Minato-ku and Meguro Ward, Kiyoshi Uesugi led Kyoko Nohara out of the train stop, and they walked one after the other on the way to Yokota's house.

The atmosphere between the two is a little silent, Kyoko Nohara is introverted by nature and a little shy, she is not good at finding topics to chat with.

In normal times, Uesugi Kiyoshi might find an opportunity to ease the atmosphere, but today, he was preoccupied and calm, preparing for the next possible battle, so he didn't speak.

The train stop is not far from Yokota, and after about five minutes, Kiyoshi Uesugi can already faintly see the outline of the apartment building where Yokota-taku is located.

He had read the information of Kyoko Nohara, and he was no stranger to the address here.

Uesugi Kiyoshi paused, and his face became more solemn.

The Yokota house where Nohara Kyoko was staying was on the second floor, and at this time, Uesugi Kiyoshi looked from afar and saw the window of the house on the left side of the second floor of the apartment, and the window was open.

In his eyes, a faint black mist escaped from the windows on the second floor into the air, hovering outside the windows, reflecting the ordinary windows as if they were the entrance to hell.

The thickness of the mirage was already a little beyond Uesugi Kiyoshi's expectations.

Uesugi Kiyoshi stopped, frowned and thought for a few seconds, calmed his expression, and turned to face Kyoko Nohara.

"Apricot, I'll talk ahead."

On the train just now, at the strong request of Kyoko Nohara, Uesugi Kiyoshi has begun to call each other by her name directly.

Nohara Kyoko was suddenly named by Uesugi Kiyoshi, and she was startled and looked up in a hurry.

"Yes! Qingjun! ”

She subconsciously puffed up her chest, her expression panicked, and her voice became a little louder, like a soldier waiting for orders.

Nohara Kyoko's cute appearance slightly dispelled some of the ominous feelings in Uesugi Kiyoshi's heart, and he smiled slightly and instructed Nohara Kyoko.

"Apricot, you have to promise me that if something unexpected happens for a while, you must completely obey my orders without the slightest hesitation."

"Hmm... Forget it, why don't you wait for me here, and I'll go up and visit alone? ”

Uesugi Kiyoshi said his suggestion, and then quickly shook his head in denial.

"No, when I didn't say it, it's not safe down here..."

I don't know why, the neighborhood of this apartment building is sparsely populated, and there is a strange feeling of desolation all around, and Uesugi Kiyoshi even feels that he has been pulled into the ghost realm, but when he looks at it, he feels that he is still in the present world, which is very absurd, and it also makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

In this case, the way to keep Nohara Kyoko safe is to let her stay by her side.

Uesugi Kiyoshi handed the handbag to Nohara Kyoko, and clenched the sword bag containing the wooden knife in his left hand, his expression became serious.

"Apricot, you go up with me."

"Remember, what I said, you have to do it right away!"

"I'm not kidding, something terrible may have happened in your house, I hope you can be mentally prepared..."

Looking at Uesugi Kiyoshi's solemn expression, Nohara Kyoko was also a little flustered, she held two schoolbags in her arms and shook her head busily - her personality itself is very supple, and now Uesugi Kiyoshi is for her good, she will not fail to hear it, let alone disobey Uesugi Kiyoshi's request.

Now in Nohara Kyoko's heart, Uesugi Kiyoshi's words are comparable to the will of the gods.

Merely...

Did something happen to my uncle?

Although her aunt was very harsh on her, her uncle was actually quite good to her, so hearing that Uesugi Kiyoshi said that it was so dangerous, Nohara Kyoko's mood also became worse.

Seeing that Kyoko Nohara agreed, Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded silently, and without any further hesitation, he led the way to the old apartment building that was old.

Passing by the empty first-floor lobby, stepping up the narrow and dark staircase and entering the cramped second-floor corridor, Uesugi Kiyoshi took a few steps and stopped in front of a gray-brown wooden door.

If the information that Yuichi Kudo gave him is correct, this should be Yokota House.

Uesugi Kiyoshi twitched his nose, and his face became very ugly.

Mirage can use Mirage to strengthen his physical fitness, and this enhancement is not simply to strengthen his strength, speed, and physical strength.

Also enhanced, there are also five senses, reaction speed, these aspects.

Although so far, the enhanced effect of mirage has not allowed him to have the physical qualities of a superhero in the comics, his five senses are already much stronger than ordinary people.

He was standing in the doorway, and the pungent smell of blood rushed into his nose.

It's not like a house, it's a slaughterhouse...

"Apricot, stand back, give me the key!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't look back, and his voice became a little cold and ordered.

Kyoko Nohara obediently handed the key to Uesugi Kiyoshi, and then obediently took a few steps back, staring at the door and Uesugi Kiyoshi's back, the worry in her eyes almost overflowing.

She's worried about her uncle, and she's worried about Uesugi Kiyoshi too.

But she can't do anything but watch here...

A lingering sense of frustration haunted Kyoko Nohara's heart, making her mood even lower.

Uesugi Kiyoshi doesn't have time to care about Nohara Kyoko's mood right now.

He took the key, and did not knock on the door, first flicked his left hand, and the ebony knife was unsheathed, the tip of the sword drooping, and he made a posture that could be cut out at any time.

Then, the key in his right hand was shoved into the keyhole.

Engrossed and nervous, Uesugi Kiyoshi gently turned the key, and with a somewhat obscure metal grinding sound, the door of Yokota's house was slowly opened by him.

It was dark in the room, but he had a pair of delusional eyes, and this level of darkness could not help him.

As the door opened, the smell of blood became more wanton, and the expected scarlet color came to the eye.

The floor of the living room of Yokota's house was splashed with a large area of dark red hideous blood, and in the pool of blood that had not yet coagulated, mixed with pink tender flesh, pale bone stubble, and human tissue that could not be identified, this shocking sight was enough to make people with poor psychological quality scream.

Unmoved, Uesugi Kiyoshi stepped through the door and blocked Nohara's vision with his body.

Entering the living room, Uesugi Kiyoshi's gaze was immediately attracted by a rickety figure kneeling with his back to him.

The man, dressed in a crumpled suit and covered in blood, was kneeling on the ground, bowing his head, and worshipping a small shrine hanging from the wall.

The door to the shrine was open, and there was nothing in the shrine.

The rickety figure was full of people in front of him.

The heart that was still twitching slightly, the lobes of the lungs that seemed to be breathing, and the kidneys lying on the ground were lying limply......

Those are the five organs of human beings - heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

It all looks "fresh"...

In the middle of the viscera stood a bloody human head—judging by the long hair, it should be the head of a woman, but her facial features were basically cut off, and only a bare human face remained.

As if hearing the movement of opening the door, the clumsy figure who was knocking on the shrine suddenly stopped, and his body froze, turning his head little by little.

In the end, his head turned mechanically one hundred and eighty degrees, as if there were no neck bones, and he shook like a snake, staring at Uesugi Kiyoshi with a grim and resentful look.

Yokodano...

Uesugi Kiyoshi recognized him, and Yuichi Kudo had a picture of him in his profile.

But... Is he really still Yokodano now?

After a breath, Yokodano seemed to smell something, and suddenly grinned silently - the corners of his mouth pulled to the base of his ears, showing his white teeth, and smiling wildly.

He's laughing...

He smiled and laughed, and a sound like the roar of a beast came out of his throat, and Uesugi Kiyoshi listened to it very harshly.

Uesugi Kiyoshi swept left and right with his peripheral vision, and found no other living creatures outside of Yokoda.

But in his eyes, the concentration of the mirage on Yokotano had already surpassed the fog and turned into a liquid level.

"It seems that there is no need for investigation and negotiation..."

Uesugi Kiyoshi whispered, his center of gravity lowered, and his body arched little by little.

He held the sword in his left hand, held the hilt of the sword in his right hand, his mind was united, and the corners of his mouth also outlined a shallow arc.

In the next second, he stepped out, his figure flashed, and the ebony knife had turned into a jet black knife light and slashed out!
