Masked W: I'm like peanuts or vegetables, and Saeko is outside the door.

Not long after, Akiko found the exquisitely packaged doll. As she left the room, she also saw the book "The House of the Girl and the Doll" on the desk of the woman working there.

"Yes, this is a novel based on the author's own daughter, idealized and glorified, completely exposing the selfishness of parents," the woman said coldly.

His words revealed his disapproval of the book.

"But...but I felt the profound love of parents in the book."

Akiko retorted cautiously.

There are mixed feelings in my heart.

She really likes this book.

But that's what people said about me.

"It's all about making money; this author doesn't love children at all."

The woman chuckled, not thinking her remarks were anything outrageous.

Akiko was surprised. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly realized that the doll in the box in her hand had disappeared. She quickly got down on the ground to look for the doll.

"Huh, that's strange, did it fall?" (Group ID: 179603792)

"It's not on the ground, that's strange."

"How could this be? The doll was just here a moment ago." Akiko said as she walked over to the woman and asked, "Excuse me, could you help me look for it?"

And just then!

A figure suddenly flew out!

Heading straight for the woman, the mysterious figure quickly grabbed her neck with both hands. The owner of this figure was none other than the doll!

The doll wanted to strangle this woman?

Akiko was immediately shocked.

What's going on?

"Aaaaaah—!!!" The woman's screams left Akiko no time to think. She quickly pulled the doll away, and the woman fled into the distance. The doll then attacked Akiko, slamming its head into Akiko's forehead. Akiko cried out in pain and instinctively let go of the doll, which fell to the ground.

Without the slightest hesitation, he yelled and chased after the woman again, who was terrified.

She was in a corner, with nowhere to hide, and of course, no time to hide.

The doll moved incredibly fast, appearing in front of her in the blink of an eye. It then reached out and grabbed the woman's hair tightly, dragging her out the window with incredible force, and then...

let go!

"what--!!!"

The woman's body slid uncontrollably out of the window and crashed heavily to the ground, letting out a scream.

The doll lay quietly back down in the box, as if it hadn't done anything at all.

"No...no?"

Akiko was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, the sirens sounded.

......

"The...the culprit is a puppet!"

When faced with the arrival of police officers including Terui Ryu and Kujo Aya, Akiko nervously pointed to the doll, and everyone fell into an eerie silence upon hearing this.

She knew that such things were hard to believe.

She had become a suspect, yet she was unable to prove her innocence.

"I know you don't believe me, but I didn't do it. The doll did that to that woman..."

As Akiko spoke rapidly, she gestured wildly, making the whole scene look quite comical. Of course, she knew that her explanation was indeed hard to believe.

but......

This is true.

"I told you to calm down first." Mikio Renno glanced at the silent doll, then looked at Akiko, who was rambling incoherently, with a hint of helplessness.

"But that's the truth. I'm not lying to you. I saw it with my own eyes."

Akiko said in despair, looking at the silent doll, feeling both angry and powerless.

In this situation, she certainly understood that Renno Mikio and the others would not believe what she said, but!

What she said...

It's absolutely true!!!

"Mr. Blade, what trouble did Akiko get into?" A moment later, Shotaro Sato rushed in, panting as he asked.

"I'll just say it."

She is suspected of attempted murder!

Masakura said smugly, not knowing why, but he was happy as long as he could see Shotaro and the others in trouble.

"The victim's name is Tang Mutian."

Why did you kill her?

Do you have a grudge against her?

Shotaro looked at Akiko in disbelief and asked, he never expected that this girl could do such a thing.

"I already said it was the doll that did it."

"This is a cursed doll."

Akiko was somewhat speechless and ran to the doll, pointing at it repeatedly.

But no matter what she said.

This doll...

It's just an ordinary, motionless entity.

It's said to kill people?

Who would believe that?!

Everyone fell silent.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Hey, Akiko, even I can't help you like this."

Shotaro Zuo said with a hint of helplessness.

If you're going to make an excuse, at least make one that people can believe.

Dolls...

Are you kidding me? ! !

Just then, Aya Kujo's phone rang. She didn't want to answer it, since she was currently working on a case, but after glancing at the caller ID, she decided to answer.

She answered the call without hesitation.

He then took a few steps back and whispered:

"Master, what are your instructions?"

As she spoke, the skin hidden beneath her police uniform still throbbed with pain from her previous injuries.

It's not ready yet.

"You must have encountered cases related to dolls, right?" Lu Chen asked, getting straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, Kujo Aya's eyes lit up.

After she hung up the phone, she looked up at Akiko and asked, "Did Tang Muda, who was attacked, say that the doll was sent by someone else?"

“Yes, she said so. I remember she said it was delivered this morning. Officer Kujo Aya, do you believe me?” Akiko asked quickly.

He looked at Aya Kujo with eyes full of anticipation.

"I don't believe you." Kujo Aya then raised the phone she had just hung up on and said:

"But I believe him."

he?

Everyone frowned, their faces showing confusion.

"Is that Lu Chen?"

Terujiro guessed something and asked.

"Yes, he said that one of the memories in Gaia's memory is related to the doll."

"So, it's possible for a doll to attack someone."

"Kujou Aya said softly."

"I see." Terui Ryu nodded in understanding, without questioning anything.
