Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"Just tie them up like this."

"Well, I see."

As she said this, she took out a sturdy rope from the "Treasure Vault of the Minister," and the three of them tightly bound everyone in the Kirishiki family, including Kirishiki Sako.

After confirming that no one else was in the mansion, she dialed Ai Haibara's number again.

"Hey, Ai, we've got this sorted out here too."

"We're in the Western-style house where the Kirishiki family lives."

"Okay, I understand."

After a brief exchange of information, Ai Haibara decided to come and meet up with them.

After a while, Ai Haibara, Moriarty, Toshio Ozaki, and Shizunobu Muroi also arrived at the mansion.

The three dolls were left at the hospital; with their protection, there was no need to worry about the safety of Yuuki Natsuno and Muto Toru.

"Ritsuka-neechan, are you alright?"

"Don't worry, it's okay."

After greeting the group, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the other two looked at Tatsumi and Shimizu Megumi, who were also tied up, while Ozaki Toshio and the others looked at the Kirishiki family inside the house, their expressions varying.

"It's you bastards who've been running rampant in my village!"

Ozaki Toshio was naturally seething with rage, while Muroi Shizunobu looked at Kirishiki Sako and sighed sadly:

"Oh, the sand."

On the other side, upon seeing Kirishiki Sako, Tatsumi's carefree smile faded somewhat, and he smiled helplessly:

"It's over, Sand. It seems this is our end."

"Mr. Muroi, Tatsumi"

Kirishiki Sako first looked at Muroi Shizunobu, then at Tatsumi who was tied up. She understood that this time it was truly over for them. Finally, tears of despair streamed down her face as she lamented:

"God, why have you forsaken me?"

Chapter 220. Kirishiki Sako's Plan: The Whole Story

220.

Kirishiki Sako is the daughter of a wealthy family. One day, a foreign guest comes to her house, but no one expected that the guest is a vampire who drinks human blood and attacks her during his stay.

However, Kirishiki Sako did not actually die. Instead, she transformed into a vampire in the coffin. She was discovered and rescued by the gravedigger, who then sent her home.

Her parents soon noticed her abnormality, but there was nothing they could do. They could only lock her up in a remote place away from home and send a servant to bring her food every day, which became her only source of sustenance.

Later, Kirishiki Sako managed to escape from there, only to find that her parents had moved away. So she began to wander around looking for her family.

She searched for an unknown amount of time, and only after realizing that her parents and relatives might all have passed away did she finally give up the search.

At first, she didn't know how to gain companions and struggled to survive in society by hiding and running away until she met Tatsumi, after which her life finally became simple.

Tatsumi is also a vampire transformed from a human, but unlike beings like Kirishiki Sako, he appears no different from a normal human. He can live in sunlight and sustain his life by consuming normal food, and he does not necessarily need to feed on blood. Furthermore, he possesses an eternal lifespan.

For someone like Tatsumi, not consuming blood simply means he can't unleash his full potential.

Tatsumi claims to be a subspecies of vampire. Kirishiki Sako believes that vampires and werewolves always appear in pairs in the story, so she calls Tatsumi a werewolf.

Besides Tatsumi, the housekeeper Kurahashi Yoshie is also a werewolf.

Later, she met Kirishiki Chizuru, Kirishiki Masashiro, Ebuchi, and Kurahashi Yoshie. Even so, they still had to stay in some remote corner of the world and shut themselves off.

Therefore, Kirishiki Sako wanted to create a home for people like them, a place where they could live, and even a society that belonged to them.

It was at this time that Kirishiki Sako accidentally came across a novel by Muroi Shizunobu.

The novels by Shizunobu Muroi all feature mythological stories about "people abandoned by the gods," which resonated strongly with her, as she had long been ostracized and barely surviving in human society, and sparked her desire to meet Shizunobu Muroi.

She learned of the existence of Sotoba Village through Shizunobu Muroi's essays, and also realized that this secluded village was the perfect location to carry out her plan. Therefore, she led everyone to relocate there and began to implement her scheme.

They will soon transform all the villagers of the outer village into ghouls and turn the village into their first base for expansion.

That's the whole story before we came to Waichang Village.

The situation in Waichang Village during this period is also quite simple.

The villagers, who suffered from chronic anemia and eventually died of acute heart failure, were all drained of their blood by these people.

Although they need to feed on human blood for several days to kill someone, they can give strong suggestions to the humans they have fed on, so the victims will never reveal their existence and will even cooperate with them.

Among these dead villagers, some died forever, while others successfully transformed into ghouls, such as Shimizu Megumi, whom they captured.

These villagers who have been transformed into ghouls will be recruited into the plan through various means, and then attacked to attack more villagers, thus continuously expanding the ghoul army.

As for the villagers who resigned and moved away from the village, as investigated by Shizunobu Muroi, they had all been murdered, and the houses that were vacated after they moved away became the base for these newly born ghouls to rest during the day.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will gradually kill all the villagers of Waichang Village, expanding their ranks while transforming Waichang Village into their first stronghold.

"."

After hearing Tatsumi's explanation of the whole story, everyone silently digested it, and the atmosphere in the room fell into a brief silence.

At this moment, Toshio Ozaki was no longer as angry as before. He gradually calmed down, but his thoughts became even more resolute.

According to the other party, this is no longer just a simple murder case, but has escalated into a survival war between two different species, the ghouls and humans.

But this does not mean that he understands the other party's behavior. On the contrary, since the other party chose to unilaterally launch a war, it must also bear the cost of defeat.

The winner lives, the loser dies.

Nanfang Rizuru was focused on Kirishiki Sako's so-called plan. After thinking for a moment, she adjusted her glasses and said:

"For ghouls, hiding in the shadows of human society, raising a group of humans as food, and secretly controlling society is probably the best option, right?"

"Don't you think it's absurd to want to build a society dominated by ghouls?"

They now know that, apart from having a near-eternal lifespan and being able to give hints to vampires for a short period of time, the ghouls have almost the same physical abilities as when they were alive, and they also have very obvious shortcomings.

Therefore, from the perspective of the entire group, the ghouls are simply unable to openly contend with human society. If they were to expose their existence to humans, their only fate would be extinction.

On the contrary, the plan proposed by Nanfang Rihe was indeed more feasible.

Especially for the wealthy and powerful who are getting older, even if the probability of turning into a ghoul is not 100%, and even if ghouls have many flaws, the temptation of immortality alone is enough to make them flock to it.

What's more, there's also the super prize of the werewolf.

Upon hearing Nanakaku's statement, Toshio Ozaki couldn't help but shudder, and said irritably:

"Hey, don't say anything creepy."

The terrifying aspect of Nanfang Rihe's statement lies not only in the fact that her plan is feasible, but more importantly, it's possible that some ghouls are already doing just that.

The thought that their society is actually being secretly manipulated by monsters is chilling.

On the other side, Ai Haibara's gaze shifted back and forth between Tatsumi and Yoshie Kurahashi, her emotions quite complex.

Although Tatsumi said that werewolves are a subspecies of shiki, in reality, werewolves are perfect creatures that surpass shiki.

They possess immortal life, extraordinary regenerative abilities, can live in sunlight, can eat normally, and have physical abilities stronger than normal humans.

Werewolves could even be considered a more perfect form of humanity.

The ghouls are more like a byproduct of the failed evolution of humans into werewolves.

Kirishiki Sako continued to sob softly. At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka understood that the "god" she was referring to did not refer to a person or organization, but to the one in the religious concept.

"Ghouls can only survive by drinking human blood. Are we not even allowed to live?"

"Is it wrong for us to just want a foothold that allows us to exist?"

"Are we, who have been abandoned by God, truly unable to seek salvation...?"

Kirishiki Sako cried out, but Fujimaru Ritsuka felt no sympathy for her.

She looked at Kirishiki Sako and said softly:

"Living by drinking human blood doesn't necessarily mean taking people's lives, but even so, you still chose to kill the villagers one by one. Why is that?"

Upon hearing this, Kirishiki Sako's crying abruptly stopped.

Brothers, I'm spending New Year's Day with friends, so I might have to take the next couple of days off. Please forgive me.

Chapter 221. Summoning Servants, Exorcising Corpse Demons

221.

In response to Fujimaru Ritsuka's question, Kirishiki Sako lowered her gaze slightly and said with a hint of sadness:

"Because we want to increase our companions, there's no other way."

Fujimaru Ritsuka continued to ask:

"Did the villagers who died in your attack choose to become ghouls?"

"Of course not!!!"

Before Kirishiki Sako could answer, Shimizu Megumi, who had already regained consciousness, let out a piercing accusation:

"I did nothing wrong, I just wanted to see that beautiful mansion, and that was all, they sucked my blood and turned me into this monster!"

"And that bastard named Tatsumi, he forced me to kill someone, saying that only then could he let me out and become one of them!"

"I just want to leave this disgusting countryside and go to a big city, sob sob sob!"

As she spoke, Shimizu Megumi began to cry sadly.

"Oh dear, are you that sad?"

Hearing her say that, everyone looked at Tatsumi again. Tatsumi didn't hide anything and readily nodded in acknowledgment:

“Indeed, I require every new ghoul companion to kill a human before they can move freely. It’s a very simple and effective way to make them face reality.”

"but."

He paused slightly, looked at Shimizu Megumi, and sneered:
