"Onii-chan~"

Feeling her calf, Yuka Mochida, who was starting to lose patience, couldn't help but urge Tetsushi Mochida to make a decision quickly.

"Hmm... Oh."

In his heart, Mochida Tetsushi still put his younger sister first, and finally gave in to the two women's wishes and opened the closed wooden door.

A wooden corridor clearly appeared before the brother and sister.

On both sides of the corridor, countless dead people lay floating in the water.

Their bodies lay on either side of the trees, reeking of a foul stench.

Once again, Tetsushi Mochida was certain of just how dangerous their current location was.

"Onii-chan..."

"Yuka is about to... burst out."

Mochida Yuka, who was so shy that she felt like she was about to lose control of her bladder, called out to Mochida Tetsushi.

"that..."

"Can this be resolved here?"

"Although there are railings, I think we can still give it a try at this height."

Looking left and right with uncertainty, even Mochida Tetsushi was becoming somewhat uncertain.

81. Give me back my...!!!

"Yuka... never go near the forest."

Even though he didn't know what might be in the woods, Mochida Tetsushi quietly stated this.

He didn't want anything to happen to Yuka, no matter what.

"I understand... Um, can you come with me?"

Turning her head to look at the silent little girl, Mochida Yuka asked her uncertainly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"sure..."

"O~ne~chan~"

The girl answered her cheerfully, and whether she was seeing things or not, Yuka Mochida seemed to see a smile beneath her thick, black hair.

Is this child also happy to be able to help me?

Blinking, Yuka Mochida responded to the girl with a perfect smile.

"I'll go in first then. Remember to call me if anything important happens."

As he was saying this, Mochida Tetsushi suddenly stepped on something.

He crouched down and picked up a student ID.

"Baitan High School, do you want to live in Yuya?"

"Speaking of which, Morishige seems to have mentioned that there are students from other schools here."

With that thought in mind, he opened his student ID and found a piece of paper inside.

"this is..."

"I see. Did he also perform Sachiko's spell like us?"

At that moment, he was certain of it.

That is to say...

Perhaps he is also searching for his lost companions.

......

......

Taking a deep breath and encouraging herself, Yuka Mochida climbed over the railing, and then...

She saw a girl with a blackish-blue skin and a bob haircut, missing an eye, and a corpse lying in front of her.

She was looking at Yuka Mochida, muttering something incessantly...

By reading her lips, it seems...

Give it back to me!!!

Looking around instinctively, Yuka Mochida, her mind blank, suddenly realized that the girl in the red dress had disappeared without a trace.

When she turned around again, the one-eyed monster with the bob haircut was right next to her face.

Her mouth opened and closed incessantly, silently conveying... "Give it back to me!!!"

"Onii-chan o(╥﹏╥)o"

Startled, Yuka Mochida burst into tears and ran desperately toward Tetsushi Mochida.

Behind her, the eerie creature with the bob haircut silently stared at Yuka Mochida's back, its lips moving repeatedly.

Give it back to me... give it back to me... give it back to me!!!

......

......

"In multiple locked-down spaces, people may not be able to meet."

"But if Mochida and the others can see this candle, they might be able to tell him that we are here."

In front of the infirmary, Shinozaki Ayumi lit the candle she carried with her, while behind her, Kishinuma Yoshiki silently stared at Shinozaki Ayumi's back, holding the doll left behind by Saeki Nanase after she disappeared.

He opened his mouth for a long time, but in the end, he couldn't say what he had always wanted to say.

......

"I said..."

"Yoshio is the name of that murderous teacher, isn't he?"

After handing the doll to Ayumi Shinozaki, Yoshiki Kishinuma asked uncertainly.

"Yes, this doll might actually belong to the murderer."

"Perhaps, this is to make us repent through the doll."

Fragments of memories resurfaced in her mind, and Ayumi Shinozaki offered this possible speculation.

"Speaking of which, this doll is really creepy."

"It's terrifying to feel like I could start talking at any moment."

Feeling like he was about to experience the uncanny valley effect, Yoshiki Kishinuma rubbed the goosebumps on his forearm.

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. After Yoshiki Kishinuma uttered those words, he heard an extremely faint sound.

Not only him, but Ayumi Shinozaki also heard the same voice.

The rag doll started talking, repeatedly saying "I'm so sorry..." in a broken and halting manner.

"The doll spoke!!!"

Startled, Yoshiki Kishinuma instinctively backed away, his back pressed against the wall.

A huge hole appeared in the already crumbling wall.

Behind the cave, there was a cloth bag full of blood among the rubble.

Yoshiki Kishinuma's hand happened to be pressing on the cloth bag.

“I killed so many children, and I developed mental problems.”

"I didn't intend to kill them. I was scared too. I'm sorry..."

"sorry..."

The child's confession continued, reciting the same criminal confession that every murderer would say.

That is--

So-called repentance!

"Hey... I mean, Kishinuma..."

"Could this voice be interpreted as the murderer's repentance?"

Standing up, Yoshiki Kishinuma looked at the doll uncertainly.

"Kishinuma, what's that in your hand?"

"Is there anything in the bag?"

"show me."

He took the cloth bag from Yoshiki Kishinuma; the blood-stained bag bore the words...

The name 【吉泽辽】.

And this name, without a doubt, is...

"I remember there was a child with this name among the murdered children."

Shinozaki Ayumi, feeling a sense of déjà vu about the name, recalled it with some uncertainty.

"Wait, let me see..."

Yoshiki Kishinuma hurriedly took the tattered newspaper from his pocket.

The newspaper reported that he was one of the three murdered children, and the only boy among them.

The name Yoshizawa Ryo, which was accompanied by a photo, was clearly displayed above.

"Isn't Yoshizawa Ryo the brat who attacked us just now?"

The moment the words left his mouth, the little boy with blood all over his mouth reappeared in front of them. This time, still looking terrifying, he did not attack the two of them immediately, but instead stretched out his hand and kept muttering intermittently.

He said...
