Dingling--

late at night.

Kyoto, a research institution in the suburbs.

The sudden ringtone suddenly rang in the open laboratory, and the phone ringtone that kept ringing was heard.

The researcher in front of a huge red line frowned.

"Who called here?"

A hint of anger flashed in his heart, and the researcher moved his eyes away from the strange red thread in front of him with some reluctance.

I was about to answer the phone call.

"Dr. Kobayashi!"

Suddenly, from outside the laboratory, the special emergency attack troops came in.

"From now on, everything at the research base will be taken over by the special emergency attack troops," said the puzzled researcher.

"What?!"

Hearing the facts informed by the special emergency attack troops, the doctor named Kobayashi immediately showed a complex expression on his face.

"Why, my research on red lines has just become a little slim. As long as I continue to study, I can discover the secret of red lines. This will be the result of cross-agency. You can't do this!"

Kobayashi has never been exposed to a red line. It is neither a metal nor a fiber, but it is extremely hard and even ordinary physical damage cannot cause damage to its surface. Only the combustion of the flame can affect it. However, once the combustion of the flame stops, the burned part of the red line will recover again.

It is precisely based on the self-healing characteristic of the red line that Kobayashi came to the conjecture of his own movement and concluded that Yoshihiro Kojima was still alive inside.

"You don't know how great this is all research. The existence of the red line will change the world. This is an unprecedented new substance, a great existence that does not exist with the scientific community in the past..."

In front of the special emergency attack troops, Kobayashi showed the persistence that a researcher should have.

However, the special emergency attack troops did not make concessions.

Amid the rapid ringtone, they forced Dr. Kobayashi to leave the research base and blocked the scene according to the order, and no one, including Kobayashi, was allowed to approach the scene.

The purpose of the official blockade of this research institution is naturally not to take over Kobayashi's project and conduct research on the Red Line.

Instead, it completely blocked this area and completely blocked the island Yoshihide within the red line, including Keiko.

Click!

Close the thick iron door of the laboratory and cut off the power connected to it.

In the next time, the official will arrange personnel to use cement to completely seal the entire laboratory.

As the iron door closed and the electricity disappeared, the originally bright laboratory fell into darkness.

Dingling--

Even in such an environment, the rapid ringtones continued to ring, urging the target in the laboratory to answer the phone.

However, this time, Huizi's goal is destined not to answer the phone.

The huge red thread was quietly staying not far from the phone, motionless.

...

Kak, Kak—

Late at night, Shimada's family.

In the room, Shimada was lying on the bed.

Shimada was a little worried when he remembered what Endo had told him about the suicide note during the day.

He hoped that the monks of Kinkakuji who were doing rituals at Horikawa High School could save the guys in the school, but he felt it was impossible in his heart.

Just as he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, a strange crack sound suddenly came from the window.

Hearing this sound, Shimada stopped his rotating body, turned his body slightly and half-squinted his eyes in the direction of the window.

He lives in a room but is on the second floor.

"Is it a bird?"

Amid the constant crackling sounds coming from outside the window, a trace of doubt flashed through Shimada's heart.

"But, even if it's a bird, it's too late to move at this time."

Hurry!

However, just as Shimada was thinking about it.

Suddenly the closed window was opened from the outside, and then a blurred figure was seen climbing in from Shimada's dark vision.

"How is this possible?!"

Looking at the figure crawling in from the window, Shimada on the bed showed a shocked expression on his face.

I reached out to cover my mouth, so I didn't let the screams come out.

As Shimada's blurred eyes were staring, the figure of Window Wei crawled into his room, and then turned carefully and closed the open window again.

Turning his head to look at Shimada on the bed, Shimada instinctively closed his eyes when he noticed his figure turning back.

Although he could not see the figure's movements, Shimada could feel that the other party was staring at him.

“…”

That's it, I don't know how long it has passed.

Feeling the figure's eyes turned away, Shimada quietly narrowed his closed eyes into a slit. In the blurry field of view, he saw the figure walking to his desk, then took out something like an envelope from his arms and placed it on the table.

"It's time, it's time!"

Standing at the desk, an invisible figure appeared.

When Shimada saw everything the figure did, he immediately understood the other party's purpose and how the previous suicide note appeared in his room.

Obviously, the other party came to send the last suicide note.

It seems that the monks in Kinkaku Temple did not save the other party.

Such a thought flashed through my mind, Shimada on the bed staring at the back of the figure.

After the last suicide note was sent, the other party stood motionless at the desk.

Just as Shimada was wondering what the other party would do next, a figure suddenly moved in the darkness.

Looking at this scene, Shimada subconsciously closed his eyes.

Then, he heard a series of dull footsteps, as if he was constantly approaching the bed where he was lying.

Feeling the figure approaching, Shimada's mind was filled with conversations between Bai Tian and Endo, and his palms, which were blocked by his body, subconsciously clamped them tightly.

"Shimada and I are the only one who can survive."

On the bed, Shimada's heartbeat gradually accelerated, just the next second when he couldn't help but take action.

“…”

The sound of footsteps suddenly disappeared.

This sudden situation caught Shimada on the bed a little off guard, and tried to control his breathing and calmed down for a few seconds.

Shimada opened his eyes slightly and looked at the situation in the room.

The figure that originally appeared in the room had disappeared at some point.

He did not hear the window opening, nor did he hear the door turning, but the other party seemed to have suddenly disappeared with a "bang".

Looking at the empty room, a look of confusion flashed across Shimada's face.

However, the next second.

The expression on his face suddenly changed and he looked at the bed where he was lying.
