At the foot of the mountain at this time, after the boy went to the hospital to visit Keiko Hatoyama, he took a police car and quickly rushed to the back mountain where the cemetery was located.

Although the grave keeper told him last night that this back mountain was a mountain of light, and that there was no one living on it, his words were obviously not credible.

When the boy tentatively inquired about the situation in the back mountain last night, the grave keeper immediately showed an obviously uncontrollable nervous look, and even asked him if he had investigated any clues......

This reaction of his, the boy had seen too much before.

Obviously a thief is weak.

There must be something wrong with that back mountain, and according to the boy's guess, maybe their cult stronghold was there.

What exactly it is, it will be clear when he goes up to see.

By the way, although the boy seemed to have said something like "I'll let you know when the investigation progresses" when he was separated from Karasuma last night, he doesn't really plan to notify the girl at all.

If it's a normal investigation, it's okay, but it's better to leave this kind of potentially dangerous matter to him to deal with.

At that time, only ten years after the end of World War II, there were still a large number of illegal guns and weapons circulating on the black market, and the Tokyo government had not even promulgated relevant gun control laws.

In particular, a cult like this, which is active in the shadows of society, is very likely to have a lot of guns and ammunition hidden within its cult for certain needs.

It wouldn't hurt if it was just the boy himself, because he was very strong, very strong, and those ordinary people who had never even touched a gun a few times, he was more than enough to fight a group alone.

But other people are different, especially ordinary female high school students like Kokumara, who are "powerless", and if you call her, if you really encounter any extreme situation, it will only become a burden for him.

Therefore, not calling her is the most appropriate choice for the boy.

Even though she may be complained about again, but as far as Karasuma's "don't remember overnight hatred" character, she complained today, and she herself was angry the next day.

It's a big deal to wait until there is any suitable case in the future, and then call her to investigate together, as compensation......

Thinking like this, the police car happened to pass in front of the cemetery at this time, and subconsciously, the boy turned his head and glanced out the window.

Then, the whole person was stunned.

"Stop!"

As if he had seen something unbelievable, the boy stared at the cemetery through the car window and shouted sharply.

"Huh? Be! ”

The criminal police who was driving reacted quickly and immediately stepped on the brakes, and the police car, which was originally driving at high speed, slid a long trail on the road with a foul friction sound.

The boy didn't wait for the car to stop, so he quickly opened the door and got out of the car, and rushed towards the cemetery behind him.

I saw that the boy quickly rushed to the piece of Hanada-san where Kyoko-sang's body knelt before, and looked down at the schoolbag that was placed on the tombstone.

This is a black handbag, the style does not look special, but the leather is high-quality, and there is a small crow pendant hanging from the clasp of the bag.

It is placed in such a conspicuous position that anyone passing by in front of this cemetery can clearly see it.

"Mr. Shirakawa?" The two criminal policemen behind him chased after him, looked at the boy who was staring directly at the schoolbag suspiciously, and then looked at the schoolbag, feeling a little familiar.

But it was not only familiar to the boy, he had seen this schoolbag too many times before, and the only person who would hang this kind of crow pendant on the schoolbag that was not "girly" at all was the little girl who would come to him and Keiko every day.

This is Kokarasuma's school bag.

But why is it here?

At this point in time, isn't Karasuma supposed to be at school?

A strong sense of uneasiness rose in his heart, and the boy immediately reached out, opened the button of the school bag, and took out a notebook from it.

On the cover of the notebook, the name of Karasuma is written in English and Japanese, respectively, and the English is very fluent and beautiful, while the Japanese is a little ugly, like a child who has just learned to write.

When he saw these two names, the last trace of luck in the boy's heart was shattered.

You can't go wrong with that.

Although Karasuma can write English and Japanese, because he lived in the United States until half a year ago, his English writing is quite fluent, but Japanese is very poor because he does not have many opportunities to use it, and he is still not fully proficient.

This is Karasuma's school bag.

So, why is it here? Who put it here and for what purpose?

"Hoo ......"

Forcibly suppressing the uneasiness in his heart and straightening out his thoughts, the boy put back his notebook and handed his schoolbag to a criminal policeman behind him, he already had a guess in his heart.

Pulling the pistol out of his trench coat and opening the safe, the boy quickly rushed to the grave keeper's hut not far from the cemetery.

This is where the grave keeper usually lives, and the boy had taken a look at it yesterday morning when he asked the grave keeper about the details of the case.

"Phew!"

A gunshot rang out, and the boy directly broke the lock of the door.

Push the door open and enter, it was a narrow hut no more than ten square meters in size.

The boy looked around, then quickly stepped forward to the small table in the corner of the room.

On this small table, there was an open, jug-pressed notebook.

The notebook, with clumsy drawings and words, pointed out the location of a path, a path that led to the back hill.

[Sure enough, it's your ......]

The boy took a look at it, then took the pencil next to him, copied the contents of the notebook at great speed, tore it off and handed it to the two criminal policemen behind him.

"Sending a request to the Metropolitan Police Department, we found the location of a cult group's stronghold, the number of people is unknown, the other party may be in possession of dangerous weapons, and we need to deploy additional police support at a fast pace."

"Yes!"

After this command, the boy did not stop there, rushed out of the hut, and ran straight towards the trail behind the mountain recorded in his notebook.

“……”

"In that case, do what you think......"

On the other side, in the Order's stronghold on the mountain behind the mountain, Mr. Muraki nodded expressionlessly after listening to the words of the grave keeper.

"Muraki?!"

When the believers on the side heard this, their eyes widened and they looked at him in disbelief.

"You are here, you are ......"

"Are you going to rebel against the Lord?!"

Muraki, on the other hand, shook his head silently, stopped their words, and still looked at the grave keeper with a blank face.

"Thank you, Mr. Muraki, may you also truly receive the salvation of the 'Lord'."

The grave keeper didn't say anything more, he turned around and finally prayed to the statue of the "Lord", and then walked to the unconscious little Karasuma, reaching out to untie the rope that bound her.

This is something he has completely decided, he is going to turn himself in, and he also believes that this is what the "Lord" wants him to do.

It was at this moment that Mr. Muraki, who was standing behind the grave keeper and had been looking at him expressionlessly, suddenly slowly raised his right hand, which was hidden under his robe.

Among them, is the muzzle of a black hole.

"Phew!"
