Night;

Starry. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He who should sleep has gone to sleep;

And the sin continues.

From Skaha, Webb, who got the answer he wanted, lay on the bed, and although Weber was not satisfied with the answer, Skaha obviously didn't want to continue.

In desperation, Webber gave up the idea of continuing to ask, and let Skaha out of his room, ready to sleep.

Exhausted as a flame, little by little it burned out his sanity.

The hazy moonlight filtered through the gauzy curtains, progressing a little chill into the warm room.

Not just because of the cold, but because of Skaha's reply, Webb tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

There is always an inexplicable feeling in my heart;

Something he didn't know was gnawing at his heart.

"What's going on?" Webber suddenly lifted the sheets and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the hazy moonlight that came through, his frown furrowing on his delicate face. "Did you forget something? Or what's wrong, I don't remember what's going to happen tonight? ”

The winter in Dongmu City was cold, but it was just enough to stir the restlessness in his heart.

What the hell did he forget?

――――

hours ago.

It's been a long time since the night air in the winter wood, and the cold breath of this winter day is just the right time to cool the burning skin.

The girl with the double ponytail innocently thought that it would be nice if she could find the sound of the piano before the last train. But in that case, there are only two hours left, and there is not enough time at all.

The perpetrators of this horrific serial murder case have not yet been brought to justice, and despite the repeated reassurance of the police, the entire city of Fuyuki is still shrouded in great panic.

And so night fell......

"It's so quiet......" At this moment, the girl is strolling alone on the wide streets of Fuyuki City, but the night market that should be bustling is as silent as death.

In short, investigate the new capital first. If you go to Fukayama Town, the magic pointer will only point to Tosaka Mansion, and if you go there, you will probably be discovered by your father.

-- Father.

This girl is the eldest daughter of Tosaka Tokitomi and the sister of Sakura Makiri;

Her name is Rin Tosaka.

When she opened the mana pointer cover, she was bewildered by the pointer's reaction.

“...... What's going on? ”

The needle, which usually swayed slightly, was now spinning rapidly. She saw this phenomenon for the first time. The needle's performance as if it was a small animal was chaotic, and Rin Tosaka's heart suddenly cast a shadow.

This pointer is the magic pointer given by his father Tosaka Toshitomi on Rin's birthday before.

In terms of shape and construction, this is just an ordinary compass, but it does not point north, but points in a direction that emits strong magical power. Rin Tosaka once experimented that neither wind nor water could change the movement of some subtle magical powers. If there is anything out of the ordinary, this thing is undoubtedly the most useful.

But......

What is this turmoil?

Pointers can't be broken.

So...... In other words;

Is the entire city of Toki shrouded in a magical environment?

"What should I do......" Rin Tosaka was very messy.

However, although it was messy, she knew that standing like this was not the way to go.

A few adults who passed by just now had already cast surprised glances at Rin Tosaka, who was alone, so let's go first and then think about countermeasures.

But――――

There are almost no people in the distance, is this really the Fuyuki City that you are used to seeing on weekdays? Rin Tosaka felt a faint chill hit her body.

In fact, the city of Fuyuki has already issued a curfew. Recently, there have been a series of murders and abductions, and yesterday there were even a series of terrorist bombings in Xindu and the harbor area. The police appealed to citizens to go out less at night, and smart people heeded the order.

However, even if there is no curfew, I am afraid that there are still not many citizens who like to travel at night. There is something bad hidden in the dark night of Xindu now, and human instinct should be aware of this.

“...... Really. The red police lights came on in front of him, and Rin Tosaka was scared and hid in the shadows of a building. Patrol police cars slowly drove to see if there were any citizens walking alone on the street. If they see themselves, the police will not let them go. In that case, I won't be able to save the sound.

Watching the lights fade away, Rin Tosaka breathed a sigh of relief.

"Click."

The sound that suddenly came to mind made Rin Tosaka swallow the breath that he almost spit out.

-- The sound came from the depths of the corridor of the house where he was hiding, probably because a wild cat had touched a can while rummaging through the garbage. But it's hard to tell if there's anyone there.

Looking down at the magic pointer in her hand, Rin Tosaka's emerald pupils shrank suddenly, and she gasped.

The pointer is motionless. As if frozen, it points to the direction where the sound is emitted.

There's something there, there's something that exudes strange magic.

"Isn't that what I'm looking for?" Rin Tosaka thought optimistically, trying her best to ignore the uneasiness in her heart.

Finding the clue so quickly is a good start. Rin Tosaka plans to search for suspicious locations in the new capital and confirm the location of the sound one by one. And the first place has already been found by itself.

Okay, then go up and see what's there.

Rin Tosaka pressed the pointer and slowly approached.

Afterwards;

A speakeasy, but it looks like it's been abandoned.

"Is this it?" Rin Tosaka thought and walked into the basement, and the result...

"Hiss......" A strange sound sounded, like a snake crawling, and Rin Tosaka only felt a chill envelop her.

"Kotone, are you there?" Mustering up courage, Rin Tosaka shouted, and the childish voice seemed to be heard far away in the darkness.

"Don't, don't, don't, never, don't ......"

From the depths of the hallway came the breath of something, as if a breath was blowing in the face.

The sound of crying, and the weak moans like dying, and the thick smell of blood......

There is no piano sound in the dark depths. Even if she was in it, then she shouldn't be the same as before.

If you're really looking for something today, maybe Rin Tosaka's target shouldn't be Kotone but her corpse.

"Don't—"

When everything in the darkness was revealed in front of Rin Tosaka, she finally couldn't suppress the fear in her heart and screamed.

"Oh, there is such a cute little girl coming to me." The orange-haired man, and the voice full of satisfaction rang out.

Although he had just tortured and killed a child, it was not enough......

There's ...... though.
