Start a core cabin

For Ren Amamiya and Ryuji Sakamoto, what happened in front of them was nothing short of a nightmare. They watched blankly as the ambulance arrived. The medical staff carried Kitagawa Yusuke's body into the car, while they I went to the police station and was asked about the situation - although Kitagawa Yusuke's death seemed very strange, everything could prove that he indeed committed suicide, and according to the police's test results, he dug himself up three days ago. eyes and crushed them into paint...

As for why he did this...

"I told you, we don't know anything!"

Sakamoto Ryuji smashed his fist on the table and glared angrily at the policeman sitting opposite, who paid no attention to Sakamoto Ryuji's roar.

"Oh? Really? Then tell me, why did you go to his house?"

"We are friends. Why don't we go see what's wrong with our friend when he doesn't answer the phone? Is it wrong for us to worry about our friend?"

"But the problem is that if you go, he will die."

The policeman threw the information in his hand on the table.

"Although according to the preliminary identification results at the scene, he stabbed his eye socket with a paintbrush, and there were only his fingerprints on the paintbrush, we suspect that you teamed up to kill him."

"Nonsense!"

Hearing this, Sakamoto Ryuji jumped up immediately.

"Why should we kill him? We are friends! Why should I kill my friend?"

"Oh? Really? But according to our investigation, just this morning, you tried to commit violence against Takamaki Xing, didn't you? All the students present at the time can prove that you wanted to kill her at that time. Didn't you from Have we been classmates since junior high school? We are also friends, right? Why did you want to kill him?"

"I...I was just temporarily dizzy with anger."

"Oh, like this."

Hearing Sakamoto Ryuji's answer, the policeman opposite nodded.

"So, you were so angry that you killed Kitagawa Yusuke, right?"

"I told you, I didn't kill him!!"

At this moment, Sakamoto Ryuji had veins popping out. It was obvious that the other party did not intend to listen to his explanation at all. Not only that, there was also an unstoppable whisper in his ears at this moment.

"You are the one who killed me. You are a murderer."

"You committed violence against your teacher, and you also tried to kill your classmates. You are a murderer to begin with."

"Yes, everyone knows that you must have killed the person."

"Yes, Sakamoto Ryuji, you like to fight, hurt classmates, and even kill people. Everyone knows that you are this kind of person..."

"no!!"

The whispers in his ears made Sakamoto Ryuji furious. He reached out his hand, grabbed the table and stood up.

"I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill anyone! I'm a fucking Phantom Thief! Do you understand, Phantom Thieves? Let me go, or I will steal everything from you and make you kneel down and apologize to me——!!"

While roaring angrily, Sakamoto Ryuji rushed towards the policeman opposite and grabbed his neck tightly.

"Apologise! I didn't kill anyone! You bastards! How dare you slander me, you are all going to die! Everyone... I'm going to kill you!!!"

"Hey, what are you doing!"

At this time, other police officers who heard the noise also rushed into the interrogation room and hurriedly held down Sakamoto Ryuji, while the latter was still twisting his body desperately, trying to break free.

"Let me go, you bastards, I'm going to kill you! Kill you! Ahhhhhhh!!!"

"This guy is crazy, take him away!!"

Soon, several policemen swarmed up, grabbed Ryuji Sakamoto, and dragged him away forcefully.

In another interrogation room, Ren Amamiya was also in trouble.

"With a history of violent injury, this time he is suspected of murder. It's really..."

The policeman looked at Ren Amamiya in front of him and shook his head helplessly.

"Hey, I gave you a chance, but it ended up like this. It's a pity that your future fate has been decided."

"I didn't kill anyone."

Ren Amamiya frowned and defended silently.

"I was the one who called the police at that time. If I was the one who committed the murder, why should I call the police? Besides, we are friends..."

"You should stay in court and talk to the judge about these words."

The policeman on the opposite side coldly interrupted Ren Amamiya's defense.

"The punishment for committing another crime is severe, let alone killing another person. Be prepared to go to jail."

After saying this, the policeman didn't even look at Ren Amamiya again, turned around and left the interrogation room, leaving Ren Amamiya sitting on the chair blankly, looking at the empty table in front of him. .

Why are things like this?

How did this happen?

By the way...I remember we went to the palace...

Whose palace?

Why do we go to the palace?

No one can answer. At this moment, Ren Amamiya's memory is like a messy blackboard that has been erased by an eraser.

My head hurts...

The next moment, Ren Amamiya's vision went dark, and then she fell down and completely lost consciousness.

For both of them, the story ended there.

Sakamoto Ryuji was found dead in prison a day later. According to the prison guard, his temper became more and more irritable day by day. He even regarded all moving things as enemies that harmed him. Even when the guard brought him food, He would also be attacked. However, the day before they planned to send Ryuji Sakamoto to a mental hospital, he wanted to break out of the cell, so he lowered his head and slammed into the iron door in front of him.

He broke through the iron door, and his own head was also broken through.

In the end, Sakamoto Ryuji died in the hospital because the treatment was ineffective.

Ren Amamiya's situation was not much better. He showed memory loss and could not accurately describe what happened at that time. But gradually, his memory loss became more and more, and in the end he could not even Speak like a babbling baby. Although doctors also treated him, there was nothing they could do.

However, during the treatment, Ren Amamiya was watching TV in the living room when he suddenly screamed and jumped up. Then, as if he was avoiding some kind of terrifying existence, he rushed to the window in a panic - and then left the mental hospital. He fell directly from the fifth floor of the building, broke his neck and died.

According to the nurse who was present at the time, the final scene of the drama performance was being played on TV at that time.

Of course, this is all for later, let’s not mention it for now.

Duanmu Ai knew nothing about this, and she had no interest in caring about these trivial matters. Ren Amamiya, Ryuji Sakamoto, and Yusuke Kitagawa simply made the mistake that all stupid victims of the Ancient Gods would make. They inadvertently sensed the existence of the Old Ones, felt its power, and because they couldn't bear it He collapsed due to this indescribable fear.

Duanmu Ai didn't do anything. In fact, she was just busy reading the script with Kujigawa Rise.

And their tragedy is simply the result of insufficient endurance.

Just like when a person steps down and kills an ant, he can only blame the ant for not being able to stop it. There is no reason to blame humans for not being able to walk.

"How about it?"

"You want me to comment? All I can say is that I read the lines quite well... I can't even watch a professional performance."

Facing Kujigawa Rise's inquiry, Duanmu Ai put down the script and spread his hands helplessly, while the former shook his head vigorously.

"That's not the case, Miss Duanmu. Performances serve the public. Most people will not evaluate them from a professional perspective. Just like movies, not every audience will be like a film critic, so what we need is just ordinary people. What the audience thinks.”

"I see... To be honest, I don't think I am an ordinary audience member."

Duanmu Ai scratched her head. Although Kujigawa Rise performed very hard and worked very hard, in her opinion, it was just average - there was nothing she could do about it. In Duanmu Ai's opinion, the drama was still too unsuitable for her. , just like Peking Opera, maybe people who like it will watch it with gusto, but people who don't like it will have no interest in the ghostly screams.

"But having said that...it's already the sixth day, and there's nothing unusual about the results."

As Duanmu Ai spoke, she looked around. She had not forgotten that Kujigawa's agency originally hired her because Kujigawa Rise was attacked by a suspected electronic demon. However, six days had passed and the two of them had already Even though they ate, lived and worked together, apart from the car tire blowout incident on the first night, Kujigawa Rise never encountered any danger again.

"Yeah, I'm weird too, but that's okay, I haven't been this relaxed for a long time."

After putting down the script, Kujigawa Rise also breathed a sigh of relief. Her look of relief was not like she was pretending.

"...Speaking of which, Miss Duanmu, don't you plan to extend the employment period? I really hope you can always be my assistant..."

Having said this, Kucigawa Rise also raised his head and looked at Duanmu Ai with a look of pleading. Although Duanmu Ai has a relatively indifferent attitude towards others and does not deal with people very much, when he is with her, Kucigawa Rise I feel very at ease, if the other person is really my assistant and is with me all the time...

"I don't have that much time."

Duanmu Ai shook his head.

"The agreement is only until the end of this performance, and I also have very important things to do."

"Yes...that's it."

Hearing Duanmu Ai's answer, Kujigawa Rise was a little disappointed, but she quickly cheered up.

"Then, I must try my best to perform it well this time!"

"...Come on."

As he spoke, Duanmu Ai glanced out the window.

Under the dark night, the whole city is still bustling.

It was like a stage covered by a curtain, and no one knew what would happen.
