Afternoon. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Semi-cloudy rain clouds lay low over the city.

The weather in June was already hot. In addition, today's abnormal air humidity makes people feel unbearably depressed, and they only feel uncomfortable sitting indoors.

Rohmon sat in a window seat at a roadside café with a cup of iced coffee and a thick stack of newspapers on the table in front of him.

It's been three days since I came into this world.

But apart from exchanging gold for a sum of money, he has hardly found any trace of Tomie.

It stands to reason that a "monster" like Tomie, who is stunningly beautiful and has a plural body, is in constant contact with many people, and is even killed, should not be difficult to find, if not world-famous. But Roomon found out that it was so difficult to find Tomie's traces!

Romon spent a lot of money and hired a number of private investigators to search the rosters of all the high schools around Tokyo, but Tomie could not be found.

"The age without the internet...... It's really old......" Rohmon muttered to himself, flipping through the newspaper in his hand.

He had asked the detectives to find some newspapers that had recently published deaths.

Although it is not as easy to search as the Internet, newspapers in this era are very convenient for publishing all kinds of information.

In regional newspapers, such as some unnatural deaths, criminal cases will be published. If you take a closer look at these...... You may be able to find clues.

With this in mind, Romon searched carefully.

When a cup of coffee bottoms out, a piece of news comes into view.

"Huh? Hospital basement fire...... The director of the hospital, the surgeon Tamura and an unknown woman were killed?! ”

Rohmon took out his mobile phone and found the part he had stored about Tomie and looked through it.

Not much.

He found a story that he had been impressed before. Look at the information in the newspaper...... This is probably the story in which Tomie's kidney was transplanted to the patient, but it was found that the kidney had grown a head in the patient's body, and he had to re-operate to cut the kidney and the head that had grown in the stomach into two parts and put them in the sink......

At the end of the story, the unidentified man who pretended to be Tomie's father and donated Tomie's kidney burned Tomie and two doctors who had returned to the basement to destroy the ungrown kidney.

However.

The man with an unknown purpose was found after leaving the hospital...... The girl who had a transplanted Tomie's kidney and had it removed turned out to be a Tomoe ......

The story is simple.

But the story fully describes Tomie's ability - not only can the internal organs grow back into a new Tomie, but even the woman who has transplanted the internal organs can be eroded into a new self. The hospital once used a ray to try to kill Tomie's head cut from the stomach of a female patient, but it made the other person grow faster.

At the end.

The newborn Tomie sneaks into the basement and tries to burn the kidneys that have not yet grown, but is blocked in the basement by an unidentified man and burned to death......

After a little summary, it is not difficult to see some basic information about Tomie!

Tomie has a strong regenerative capacity

Tomie can replace all the original organisms by cell erosion

Rays that can't kill Tomie will even increase her growth rate

Fire can kill Tomie

And also...... What happened to the unidentified man in the story? Was he just an ordinary person who accidentally discovered Tomie's secret and started killing Tomie? Or is there an unknown organization behind him?

Reminiscent of another 'Waterfall Pool'.

Among them is a sneaky man who sells Tomie's meat. What is his purpose?

Romon scratched his head a little - don't look at the "Tomie" series of short stories, but Junji Ito never finished the story of Tomie.

Ahem! It seems that with Tomie's mysterious background, it is impossible to tell her story completely. Rohmon understands that maybe while he is drinking coffee, there may be a Tomie in some corner of the country who is dying or being reborn.

Think darkly...... Is it true that the island governments of this world are not aware of Tomie's existence?

Although in this era, there are no cameras all over the city, and there is no online household registration management system...... But judging from the power of the state, how can it be that the government is not aware of so many abnormal events in the country?

Lomon rubbed his coffee cup and had some conjectures about Tomie.

Two hours later.

He stood in front of the hospital where the newspaper had been published.

……

Probably because of the relationship between the three people who died in the basement fire, the hospital seems to be a bit depressed. In the empty hall, there were only a few elderly people who were seeing a doctor. Rohmon walked around the hospital a few times and found that the doctors in many departments were not even there, and he didn't know if he had simply jumped jobs or just rested for a while.

Found the dean's office on the top floor.

Romon knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Romon pushed the door in, glanced at the name tag on the other party's chest, and said directly: "Dean Murakami, I have something I want to finish, okay?" ”

The other party looked vigilant: "Who are you?" What do you want to do?! There are no safety hazards at Morita Hospital! That's malicious arson! ”

"Huh." Romon waved his hand: "I know, I'm not interested in fire, I just want to find an old friend...... May I? ”

As he spoke, Rohmin took out a small stack of 5,000 yuan bills from his pocket and placed them on his desk.

"Looking for someone?" The other party's face was much better, but he was still a little suspicious and vigilant.

Luo Men pulled away the stool opposite him and sat down: "Mr. Dean, take it easy~ Not everyone is a journalist, or an official of government safety supervision, and likes to hold on to a safety accident." I'm just looking for an old friend's kid who was hospitalized with you and had a kidney exchange before, and her name is ...... Yukiko. That's right, Yukiko Mio. ”

The dean, who had been devastated by the fire accident since his new appointment, looked at Rohmon and was silent for three seconds before finally speaking: "Okay, this gentleman...... Your name? ”

"Hmm...... Luo, you can call it that. ”

After the new dean said hello.

It didn't take much effort for Romon to find the information of Yukiko Miao, who was completely eroded by Tomie due to a kidney transplant in the plot, from the thick stack of cases from the thick stack of cases.

Looking at the time difference between the hospitalization record and today, there is already a two-month time difference, and Romon said that this Mio Yukiko...... No, Tomie, who should be a new life, should not be killed again or disappear completely.

Take this information.

Romon left Morita Hospital, which had no value, and went straight to the address where Yukiko Mio had registered.
