"Don't worry, what do you want to say?"

Seeing the anxious appearance of the man, Sousuke Araki hurriedly put his ears close.

"jingle……"

Amidst the noisy crowd and chaotic traffic, a crisp bell sounded clearly into Sosuke Araki's ears.

Originally speaking to comfort the man whose eyes were missing, he suddenly raised his head with emotion.

"jingle……"

Looking at the sound, opposite the zebra crossing and under the dark sidewalk, a woman in a simple kimono with long hair and half-covered face was bending over there as if standing or squatting, quietly staring at everyone.

From between the gaps in her long hair that almost covered her entire face, she could vaguely see pale skin that was not human-like, and half a huge black eye with no whites.

Her hands reached forward slightly, clasped in front of her abdomen.

A strand of dark red string passed through the blood hole between her hands, through the back of her hand, which was covered with dark red blood scabs and dripping blood, and re-looped it together.

Below the blood-splattered string hangs a small patina bell.

"Jingle Bell……"

With the breeze under the night, a crisp sound is leisurely issued.

The woman in white was just expressionless, standing quietly in the shadows on the side of the road, staring at the man in Sosuke Araki's arms with silent eyes.

But it gave people a creepy, cold shivering feeling.

"Bold monster, I can see at a glance that you are not human..."

Under the strong sense of disobedience, Sousuke Araki tore off his blindfold.

Just when he looked up across the street again, the terrifying woman had disappeared without a trace.

"I-I can't stand it anymore..."

The man in his arms stretched out his hand and groped around, struggling to push Sousuke Araki's arm.

"Go... let's go..."

He seemed to have seen something terrible, suddenly shook his head frantically, his expression became extremely distorted, and he stretched out his hands to cover his mouth tightly, as if he wanted to stop himself from making a sound.

"The name... is called [beep...]."

However, through the tightly covered palm, he still tried his best to squeeze out a voice from his throat, and said a four-character name in a volume that only Sosuke Araki could barely hear.

After saying this, the man showed a relieved expression.

"jingle……"

"You knew already."

At the same time, next to Araki Sosuke's ears, a crisp bell sounded, as well as the woman's low, hoarse voice.

"Be careful... whoever knows the name..."

Immediately, after reminding him in a weak voice, he rolled his eyes and lost consciousness.

"What's wrong with this name? Wait... Just hold on..."

Not paying attention to the man's inexplicable words, Sousuke Araki hurriedly flattened the man, and then raised his legs to a vertical state.

This action can help the blood return to the heart, maximizing the relief of the man's condition.

"Has the ambulance come yet, he lost consciousness!"

Even so, the blood color still faded from the man's face at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a deadly pale...

After five minutes, the ambulance came and carried the angry man away.

Everyone could see that because of hemorrhagic shock, the possibility that the man could be rescued was very low.

Standing on the side of the road, Sousuke Araki, whose black sportswear was covered in blood, lowered his head and stared angrily at a place opposite the zebra crossing, his low fists clenched.

Seeing the fresh life disappearing little by little in front of his eyes, but the feeling of being powerless, reminded him of the rainy night when he lost Xingping.

"Mr. Araki, you have done your best... Leave the rest to the doctor."

Behind him, Tori Yumayumi gently tugged at his cuff.

"That's right, Araki-kun, you have responded in time."

"To tell you the truth, when I saw the pile of blood, I was so scared that I almost urinated..."

Hou Hai Lu Dou also patted his shoulder vigorously.

"Sleeper, did you... have you seen anything before?"

Hanyu Mai folded her arms around her chest, her long eyelashes drooped slightly, and followed Sousuke Araki's gaze, looking across the empty street.

"Yes, that weird woman! What happened just now must have something to do with her..."

Thinking of the woman who was staring at him, the infinite tranquility in his eyes and the indifference to life, Sousuke Araki clenched his fists tightly: "No matter what she is, I must get rid of her!"

...

Half an hour later, the headquarters of the Spirit Slayer Association, the Institute of Truth.

"Just received a call from the Metropolitan Police Department, and the man died after being sent to the hospital."

Hou Hai Lu Dou, who was sitting in front of the computer, spread his hands and said the news that silenced several people in the conference room.

"By the way, through the preliminary investigation, in view of the bizarre cause of the deceased's death, the Metropolitan Police Department shared the first-hand investigation materials to the association for identification."

Houhai Ludou opened the folder and played a video.

"This is the picture taken by the security surveillance at the nearby location..."

In the picture, a man runs out of a building, looking back to check, while trotting down the sidewalk in a panic.

"The man's name is Su Shengliang, and he is a staff member of the DVD sales department of Akihabara BIGC Electric Appliances..."

BIGC Electrical Appliances is a large electrical appliance shopping mall as one of the landmark buildings in Akihabara.

Hou Hai Lu Dou skillfully switched the surveillance camera positions~lightnovelpub.net~ to capture Su Shengliang's moving route.

"...According to the company, he has no plans to work overtime tonight, and I don't know why he was there in the middle of the night."

As the camera zooms in, you can see Su Shengliang with a panicked face, running around like a headless fly, looking back from time to time, as if something terrifying is chasing him.

"Oh, at this time, he still looks very energetic... Judging from the distance and running speed, it means that he lost his eyes not long before he met us."

After being reminded by Yu Yu's words, everyone noticed that Su Shengliang's eyes were still conveying panic and fear perfectly.

"And then... here we are..."

As the camera switched to another section, Su Shengliang, who was running, encountered the fate that every character in a horror movie would encounter.

He fell.

With his fall, the surveillance camera seemed to be disturbed in some way, and the picture became no longer continuous due to the sudden appearance of disordered black lines and snowflakes...

"Is this, the magnetic field interference phenomenon caused by resentment?"

Looking at this familiar scene, the little bird Yumayumi, who had just explained the task upstairs and pushed the door open with a yawn, covered her mouth and exclaimed.

"At this time, there must be a hidden energy field lifeform that the camera can't capture! So, he should be here, being..."

When the picture was restored, Su Shengliang had disappeared.

On the ground, there was only a large pool of splattered blood, as if someone had squeezed a tomato juice drink here.
