Araki Bai calmly looked at the album in front of him, with no expression on his face.

The long-lost trailer has reappeared, and the woman who appeared this time is none other than Kaoru Utsumi, a beautiful female police officer who has had a head-to-head confrontation with Araki.

In the painting, she is stripped naked and tied to a cross, and her face and body are painted with strange patterns. The fatal wound was a wooden cone in her chest, which had been brutally hammered into her chest.

In the background, Araki Hakuro can see many people wearing cloaks, each wearing a traditional Japanese demon mask, staring at Kaoru Utsumi who is tied to a stone platform without a trace of emotion.

"What is it this time? Cult? ”

This time, I only had a hunch of one picture, and if I wanted to rescue Kaoru Utsumi, the difficulty would undoubtedly increase by several levels.

While Araki was thinking about how to act, his phone suddenly rang.

He took out his phone and looked at it, and it turned out to be Aya Hirano calling.

"Hey, Hirano, what's the matter?" Araki Bai picked up the phone and asked.

"Araki-kun...... That one...... Are you free tomorrow? Mie and I want to go to the amusement park, but there are only two girls in us, so I thought it would be great if you could come with your friends! She hesitated, then spoke the rest as quickly as a machine gun.

After finishing the words of the invitation in one breath, Ayaya Hirano's heart was much more relaxed.

It took a lot of courage for her to say this, and she hoped that Araki Bai would agree to her.

"I'm sorry, Hirano, I probably won't be available tomorrow." Araki said apologetically.

"Huh?" Aya Hirano couldn't help but feel a little lost, but she still forced a smile and said, "That's the case...... I'm really sorry to bother you, I'll hang up first......"

Araki Bai heard Aya's disappointment in Hirano, after all, the two have known each other for a few months, and they are not the kind of friends who can be broken casually. Araki Bai thought for a moment and said, "I may not be free in the past few weeks, but there should be a lot of free time during the summer vacation, and when the time comes, we will go out and have fun, and I will treat you." ”

Aya Hirano was overjoyed and said, "Really? ”

Araki Haku: "Yes. I haven't relaxed for a long time, so we can find a chance to go to the beach together. ”

Aya Hirano yearned, "By the sea...... It's been a long time since I've been to the beach! I hope the summer vacation will come soon! ”

Araki Bai said: "Then let's say it, I'll hang up first." Goodbye, Hirano. ”

Aya Hirano nodded and said, "Well, goodbye, Araki-kun." ”

Putting down the phone, Aya Hirano rolled around on the bed with a blushing face, and said, "By the sea...... Shouldn't I go buy a swimsuit......

Araki Shiro's mood at this time was far less relaxed than Ayaya Hirano, he put down the picture book in his hand, picked up his wallet and mobile phone and left the house.

He first made a simple voice changer out of cans and wrapping paper, then took a taxi to find a public phone booth far from his home before dialing Kaoru Utsumi.

Who knows that the phone keeps prompting the other party to be out of the circle now, please dial the prompt later.

"Has she been caught?" Araki Bai frowned and dialed the phone number left by Kusanagi.

"Is it Officer Kusanagi?" Araki Hakuro asked.

Kusanagi's low, magnetic voice came over the phone, "This is Kusanagi, who are you?" ”

"Officer Kaoru Utsumi is going to be in danger, please tell her about it."

"Wait, what's the danger? How do you know I know the Inland Sea? Who the hell are you? Kusanagi asked one after another.

Araki Bai hesitated for a moment and said, "Officer Kaoru Utsumi will be caught and killed by the cultists, as for my identity, you don't need to know. You just need to know that everything I say is true, and you must believe me, otherwise you will regret it. ”

Kusanagi's mind turned, and a sentence blurted out.

"You're Araki! You're Araki Shiro, aren't you? ”

Araki Shiro was about to hang up, but Kusanagi's words made him freeze in place.

"I've been wondering what you said to us at the time, but now I understand that you have some kind of foreknowledge ability, and you can show the cause of someone's death through the picture!"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Araki Bai said as if he was dying.

"Actually, I'm not the only reason to conclude that you're Araki. Because if you are someone who knows the inside of the police, you will know that I was transferred back to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department from the Koto Police Station last week. Utsumi and I are not in the same department right now, and even if you want to help Uchimi, you should go to her colleague instead of me. ”

Araki was silent for a while, then threw away the voice changer.

He sighed and said, "It seems that I really shouldn't have meddled in this. ”

"You came to me right, and I'm grateful that you didn't sit on the sidelines." Kusanagi said, "Can we meet, Araki-kun?" ”

Araki Bai sighed and said, "You can come directly to my house, and I will give you that painting." ”

Not long after Araki Haku returned home, Kusanagi drove to his house.

Araki Haku handed the sketch depicting Kaoru Uchikai's death to Kusanagi Toshihei, who took a look at the painting and asked with great interest, "Sure enough, you have the ability to predict the death of others, how did you activate this ability?" ”

Araki Bai shook his head and said, "I don't know how to launch it, every time it is activated, it happens without me realizing it." The first foreknowledge of death was 36 hours after I drew it, the second time it was only 12 hours, and this is the third time. ”

Kusanagi asked, "The first time was Aya Hirano?" And what about the second time? ”

Araki Hakuchi said: "I rescued our school's student council president on the way, and in the trailer her car was hit by a large truck that was out of control. If you watch the news, you should see that there was a traffic accident in the suburbs not long ago, and the truck driver died of a heart attack. ”

Kusanagi nodded, "I know about the accident. In this way, your prediction accuracy rate is quite high. ”

Araki Bai said: "I've told you everything I need to say, you won't arrest me in some research institute to receive a bounty, right?" ”

Kusanagi laughed and said, "Your ability is not a bad thing, and now that the Inland Sea also depends on your ability to rescue, how could I do such a thing that harms others and is not beneficial to myself." Don't worry, your secret is here, and I won't tell anyone. ”

He said, pointing to his head.

Araki Haku's relief is a lot.

Kusanagi continued, "I've checked Utsumi's actions in the past few days, and she should have driven to a place called Nana Village. But now her phone can't get through, and according to the distance, she should not be in that village for too long, and I will drive over to look for her in a while. ”

Araki Hakudao: "I think there seem to be a lot of enemies, if that village is their lair, you have to be careful." ”

Kusanagi smiled: "I'm not a lone hero, don't worry, I won't go alone." ”

Kusanagi got into the car and left, and although Araki Bai was a little worried, he was greatly relieved.

You must know that since his awakening ability, he has always been a person who has kept this secret, and when he encounters an incident, he can only solve it alone.

And now that there is a policeman like Kusanagi to share secrets with him, although one more person knows his ability, it is more risky, but Kusanagi seems to be an upright person, and if he can use his power, it will be much easier to solve incidents in the future.
