"I’ll take my leave now." After receiving the message, Beichuan Si didn’t dawdle any longer—he made a decisive stand and walked out.

On the other side, Shen Gu Mirai bowed to Kobayashi Seijiro and followed Beichuan Si out.

Watching the receding figures of Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai, Kobayashi Seijiro couldn’t help but exclaim,

"...Those two... really do match each other well."

When he had asked for the cute girl Shen Gu Mirai’s email earlier, he was actually quite taken with her. But now, seeing Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai together, he was surprised to find himself without any feelings.

Kobayashi Seijiro leaned against the pillow, his eyes vacant—

"I wonder if Ebiya Rina is okay?"

Regardless, he had done his duty.

Now it was time for him to get some rest.

Meanwhile, after descending the stairs, Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai took the subway towards Shibuya Station.

Shibuya District, a distinctive administrative region in Tokyo, often appears in Japanese animations; the so-called "Shibuya-style" girls named after the district’s youthful fashion, pulse with commercial energy here, earning its reputation as the street that never sleeps.

The area of Shibuya was also cherished by many girls, where one could see numerous people dressed in trendy and sometimes exaggerated fashion.

After exiting Shibuya Station, Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai walked past the Loyal Dog Hachiko Statue, following the map to ’MARY’ KTV.

The location of this KTV was a bit secluded, but perhaps it was this off-the-beaten-path, rebellious style that made it popular among young people?

As soon as they left Shibuya Station, Shen Gu Mirai stopped and turned to Beichuan Si, "Mr. Temple, go ahead. This incident seems urgent."

She was as considerate as ever.

Rather than having Beichuan Si wait around, it was better to let him get to the destination quickly to ensure the other party’s safety.

"Alright."

Beichuan Si didn’t dally; he nodded, and with a step, he burst into speed.

Shen Gu Mirai could only see a shadow trailing behind Beichuan Si, and in a blink, he had vanished at the other end of the street.

Some youngsters on the street exchanged confused glances, clueless about what had just occurred.

Beichuan Si was moving too fast; they hadn’t even caught a glimpse of his figure.

"I should get going too."

Seeing people glance her way, Shen Gu Mirai, somewhat embarrassed, nodded at them and turned to hail a taxi, following in the direction of Beichuan Si.

Following the map, it took Beichuan Si about one minute to arrive at the entrance of ’MARY’ KTV.

He straightforwardly entered through the revolving door, arriving inside the KTV.

The decor was filled with a hip-hop vibe, the main color being black—a favorite among the youthful clientele. As Beichuan Si entered, a waiter came up to politely ask if he needed help.

"I’m here for the mingle," Beichuan Si stated.

"Really? But the mingle party has already started... Are you a guest of Room 203?" the waiter asked, somewhat puzzled, as he opened the digital form.

Room 203?

Beichuan Si perked up, looked back, and said, "Yes, I’ll find my way there myself; no trouble needed."

"...Alright, sir."

The waiter withdrew the digital form and said, "Sir, Room 203 is on the second floor, turn left, and you’ll see it."

"Thank you."

"You’re welcome."

After the exchange, Beichuan Si walked in.

It had to be said, most of the young people who came here to sing were quite uninhibited; their singing was off-key, giving Beichuan Si a slightly tingling sensation on his scalp from the earsplitting music.

Beichuan Si made his way to the second floor.

The ambiance on the second floor was much better than the first, but it was still full of chaos; Beichuan Si turned left and went straight ahead.

Room 201.

Room 202.

Room 203...

He had arrived.

Beichuan Si stopped without changing his expression and knocked on the door.

From inside came the teasing and laughter, "Naomi, isn’t that your food order? Go open the door! Hurry, go!"

After a while, the door to Room 203 opened, and out came a young man with a hairstyle resembling an artist’s braid.

This must be the Naomi who had just been teased?

Upon seeing an expressionless young man outside instead of the expected waiter, a hint of wariness appeared in Naomi’s mind.

During the social gathering, suddenly such a handsome gentleman with clear eyes and a distinguished look appeared—an ominous sign.

You should know, there weren’t enough beautiful girls to go around for them, let alone adding another person.

Unable to help himself, he asked, "Who are you?"

Beichuan Si did not answer him but looked inward instead.

Including Neihai, there were three men and two women, all enjoying themselves, but now seeing something seemed off, they all turned to look at Beichuan Si at the door.

"Which one of you is Ebiya Rina?"

Beichuan Si asked briefly.

Ah?

Neihai couldn’t restrain himself, "Hey, you bastard, I’m talking to you. Who are you? What do you want with Rina?"

Young as they are, always wanting to show off in front of girls, he raised his hand intending to grab Beichuan Si’s collar.

And then—

"Ouch! It hurts, it hurts so much! Let go, let go now!" Neihai’s wrist was caught emotionlessly by Beichuan Si.

The young man with a braid turned blue and red in the face.

"...I didn’t use any strength," said Beichuan Si after a silence, with a peculiar expression on his face.

He really hadn’t put much effort into it, so why did this guy act as if he was scamming?

Even if he had used strength, it was just the normal strength of an adult.

Seeing Neihai’s already frail complexion, he understood something in his heart.

This fellow here was clearly frail yet deliberately looking for trouble.

However, after realizing this, Beichuan Si did not let go. He just turned to the remaining two men with unfriendly expressions and asked, "Where is Ebiya Rina?"

"You’re looking for Rina?"

A girl with a pink bag asked.

"I’m a friend of her parents. I called her and couldn’t reach her, so I came over to check on her," replied Beichuan Si, without changing his expression.

Another short-haired girl interjected somewhat strangely: "Really? Speaking of which, it’s strange. Rina has been in the bathroom for almost half an hour now. She hasn’t come back yet. Could something have happened?"

Seeing that they were somewhat believing him now, Beichuan Si did not hesitate and released the braid guy’s wrist, then asked, "Where is the bathroom?"

"I’ll take you there. I’m a bit worried too," the short-haired girl said worriedly as she walked out of the box.

"Then please do."

Beichuan Si nodded, standing on one side.

Seeing the two girls come out, Neihai and the other two men could not stay seated either; they too wanted to follow.

A large group of people made their way grandly to the restroom on the far right of the second floor.

In that moment as they walked, Beichuan Si already felt something was amiss.

A smell pervaded the air, and the sound of trickling water came from the restroom.

It was a smell he knew all too well.

It was the smell of blood!

"I’ll go in, you guys wait outside," said the short-haired girl.

"I’ll join you."

"But, but this is the wom... res..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Beichuan Si had already pushed past the astonished crowd and entered the women’s restroom first.

"... just who is this audacious guy?" Neihai, rubbing his wrist, watched the unbothered figure, unable to help but ask turning back.

"...Who knows? Don’t worry about it so much; since he has gone in, let’s also check to see what’s going on."

Everyone followed the short-haired girl and Beichuan Si into the women’s restroom.

And that was just the terrifying beginning—

Upon entering the restroom, they let out screams of absolute horror.

What should have been soft yellow light turned sinister and dreadful from the crimson blood smeared on the lightbulbs.

Everyone saw Ebiya Rina.

Her hands were on the edge of the washbasin, her headless body slumped forward toward the sinks, blood leaking from the opening of her neck into the curved washbasin.

In the curved washbasin, her head bobbed up and down with the darkened water rushing out.

Her eyelids were tightly closed, as though she was sleeping.
