Some old rooms –

Or, just because the decoration is old-fashioned and looks very old.

Because the lights were not on, the room was dim and gloomy.

And it is in such an environment that the sound of "rustling" from the basement makes people feel even more creepy.

I don't know how long later, on the stairs leading to the basement, a girl with this hair scattered and wearing the uniform of the junior high school of Sakura Yu Girls' Academy, with a panicked and frightened face, ran out of the dark basement in a hurry.

However, just as the girl was about to walk out of the stairs leaving the basement and saw that the door of the room was in front of her, from the dark basement, a hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed the girl's ankle, which was still stepping on the stairs—

Suddenly, because one foot was caught, the girl who was already coming to the first floor fell straight forward on the stairs due to the inertia of her body.

However, because the upper body has reached the first floor, the girl who still has the only hope left, clung to the floor of the first floor, and tried to crawl towards the door that was close at hand.

However, such actions are in vain after all.

The hand that came out of the darkness grabbed the girl's ankle and pulled her back into the dark basement again—

"Please, let me go!"

Finally, when she turned her head to look at the dark and frightening basement that she had managed to escape, the girl pleaded with a trembling voice with a desperate face, crying pear blossom with rain.

However, this plea did not change the other party's actions, and the hand that grabbed his ankle pulled him harder towards the dark hellish room.

In this regard, the girl's instinct to survive made her work harder to squirm her body and crawl out.

But the gate, which symbolizes hope, is getting farther and farther away from him.

Finally, when in the end, only her outstretched hands were about to be dragged away from the staircase that connected to the floor on the first floor, the girl's shocked eyes revealed a deep fear-

"Help...... Help me! Help me...... Somebody......"

Even if she knew that shouting like this would not help, but the girl at this moment could only shout in a voice that was close to hoarseness.

However, what she got was that the girl could only watch the scene of the door disappear from her sight more quickly, and finally she could only see the staircase steps that sloped upward, and the dim ceiling—

"Don't ...... No! ”

Trembling, the girl's reason is gradually occupied by the desire to survive-

"Anything goes...... I'm willing to do anything! No...... Please...... Please! Mr. Wise! ”

Hoarse, the girl said such a sentence resignedly.

Then, the hand that was still pulling his own, at this moment, stopped pulling.

But instead, another hand came out of the darkness, and without pity, ripped off the skirt of the girl's uniform, and then the buttons of the blouse were pulled down and broken—

In this villa deep in the mountains, no matter how noisy it is, no one will notice the abnormal noise.

……

"The third one......

On the edge of the creek in the suburbs, on the outskirts of this area, a long fence has been fenced off by the police who have come over.

Officer Twilight of the Metropolitan Police Department, looking at what he found in the creek in front of him, muttered with a very serious face.

Even with it, all the police officers present seemed to be suppressing indescribable emotions at this time.

And Miwako Sato, who was standing next to Officer Twilight, couldn't help but nod solemnly after listening to Officer Twilight's words, and reported in a heavy tone:

"Yes...... Severed limbs...... Visually it is still affiliated with the same minor. And there is also a life reaction at the wound site. I'm afraid it's ...... this time too."

Saying this, Miwako Sato's expression seemed to suppress her anger.

"Hmmm......"

Officer Twilight, who closed his eyes and seemed to be praying for something, made a heavy noise, signaling Miwako Sato not to continue, and then said in a deep voice:

"Let's take it back first...... As with the previous two times, tell the reporter not to make this public......"

"But!"

Hearing this, Miwako Sato shouted with some urgency:

"This is the third time, and if we continue to hide it like this, there will be more victims!"

"Sato! That's an order! ”

Officer Twilight also said angrily, which made Miwako Sato stunned for a moment, and didn't say anything more for a while.

Then, Officer Twilight pulled down the brim of his hat and eased his mood before continuing:

"I can understand your feelings...... But now even the identity of the victim ...... No, when it is impossible to even judge the life and death of the victim, it would cause panic to make this matter public! And ......"

Saying this, Officer Twilight looked at the police officers who were cleaning up the scene, and said with some seriousness:

"At least now, I can know that the culprit of these three incidents must be the same person! And not some psychopathic copycat! ”

Speaking of this, Officer Twilight eased his heavy mood and commanded:

"In short, we will continue to investigate all medical facilities in Tokyo, and if they are not found, expand the investigation to nearby wards and prefectures - this is also an order from the Wise Police!"

……

"But, Miss Kyoko, how are you going to ask the students? Even if they know something, since the police haven't even investigated it, it is estimated that even in the face of Miss Kyoko, who is investigating as a detective, I am afraid it will be difficult for them to speak. ”

Although he was very concerned about the words written on the inner thigh of Miss Kyoko that he saw just now, in order not to expose his gaze that he had just seen there, Hidekan Ersuke could only suppress his curiosity and asked on a different topic.

"Hmm...... I guess I'll call myself a family member of the 'Last Word Girl' and ask my classmates and the teachers in the staff room. ”

Regarding this question, Miss Kyoko thought for a while and said.

"'Girl of the Last Word'?"

Hearing Miss Kyoko's words, Hidden Pavilion Esuke asked with a little surprise.

"It's 'the girl who jumped off the building to commit suicide with her last words', referred to as 'the girl with her last words'."

Regarding the abbreviation she came up with, Miss Today seemed to be very satisfied and nodded, looking very proud:

"Anyway, Mr. Ersuke, could you please wait here? There seems to be a bench there, so please sit there and wait. ”

Miss Konko said, pointing to a bench not far away, away from the area where the students gathered, and there were no students patronizing.

"Ah...... Oh......"

Thinking that it is inconvenient for me to move now, and at the same time, due to my identity, it is inconvenient to come out to ask the students, so this arrangement can be regarded as thoughtful.

So, with the support of Miss Kyoko, Esuke Hidden Pavilion sat on the bench -

"Well, I'll go and go back. If I don't come back within an hour, please come and save me. ”

Just as he was about to go over to ask, Miss Kyoko suddenly said something like this, which shocked the hidden pavilion Esuke-

"Huh? Do you want to, to save you? ”

"Just kidding."

Miss Today smiled and said:

"It's okay if you don't use it to save me, just help me tell Mr. Wise that the mission has failed."
