Supernatural/Anime Crossover: Where Did My Romantic Comedy Go?

But soon, she lost interest in thinking about such questions.

The roar of engines could be heard coming from outside the factory.

Ruri Gokou perked up her ears.

The engine sound gradually faded and then disappeared.

These shouldn't be passing vehicles; they're heading this way.

There was no joy in the arrival of anyone.

Ruri Gokou, on the contrary, tensed up all the muscles in her body.

She drove all the way to this abandoned waste treatment plant, not thinking the other person was a kind or good person.

Could it be that someone else, like me, has a fit of madness in the middle of the night and comes to the scene of a murder to gather material?

His gaze swept around the factory building.

They eventually found a rusty staircase that seemed to lead directly to the factory rooftop.

Without thinking twice, she climbed up.

Let's find a place to hide and observe first.

Volume 1: Chapter 69 Ruri Gokou in Action

"This is it."

Stepping out of the car and standing in front of the waste treatment plant's gate, Managing Director Muto unconsciously frowned.

Looking at the red-painted lettering on the wall, a faint sense of foreboding lingered in his heart.

The night wind howled.

The voice was plaintive and sorrowful.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his feelings, and comforted himself:

After all, it's a place where a murder once occurred, and it's in a remote location, so it's normal to have this feeling.

It's all just self-inflicted fear.

He turned his head to look behind him.

Three blond-haired men surrounded Yukino Yukinoshita to prevent her from escaping.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Yang, I'll have to trouble you to stay here for two days."

Managing Director Muto bowed to her with a face full of apology.

Yukinoshita simply turned aside and did not accept the greeting.

Managing Director Muto understood her meaning, and a bitter expression appeared on his face.

But it disappeared very quickly.

Now that we've taken this step, there's no turning back.

"Don't worry, Mr. Soneya's goal is simply to prevent Yukinoshita from focusing all his energy on the parliamentary election. He will absolutely not touch you in the slightest. You should be clear about that."

Managing Director Muto straightened his back and calmly offered her a reassuring remark.

Yukinoshita Haruno did not speak.

Because what he said is true.

No matter how many years have passed, these same people are still in charge of the country's politics.

Today your family is in power, tomorrow his family will lose power.

Therefore, even if there are underhanded tactics, they are always maintained in a state of fighting without breaking apart.

If he could secretly make a move against Yukinoshita Haruno today, the Yukinoshita family could make a move against him tomorrow.

Therefore, Yukino Yukinoshita was well aware that she would not have any safety issues.

She could even be certain that the other party would release her within 48 hours.

That's why she needs to get out of trouble even more.

Kozo Soneya is a very ruthless man. His businesses involve real estate and the underworld, and he has connections with many businessmen.

If he is elected as a member of parliament, it will not be a good thing for either the Yukinoshita family or Chiba City.

Does Kujo Toru understand what he means?

She felt somewhat helpless.

However, there was no other way; given the current circumstances, Kujo Toru's habit of getting straight to the point was her only option.

"I'm entrusting Miss Yang to you."

Managing Director Muto glared at the three thugs who were still grinning.

His expression was quite serious, and he solemnly warned them:

"If you offend Miss, not only me, but even Mr. Soneya will not let you off the hook!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, we know very well who we can and can't mess with."

The blond-haired leader waved his hand dismissively, making it hard to believe he had actually listened.

Managing Director Muto's forehead veins throbbed violently.

But there was no other way; he had to go back and cover up the fact that Yukinoshita Haruno had been taken away, and try to buy as much time as possible.

Even if I'm still worried, I can only trust the three of them.

He turned around and opened the driver's side door directly.

He then drove away from the place that made him feel uneasy.

Only after the scarlet taillights completely disappeared around the bend did the blond-haired boy look at Yukino Yukinoshita.

The smile on his face was quite uncomfortable.

"You heard that too, Miss. Please don't make things difficult for us. Just bear with it for two days."

Two other young men were already standing on either side of the rusty iron gate.

Clenching his teeth, with veins bulging in his arms, he struggled to push the door open wide enough for a person to enter.

"Please."

Yukino looked at them without saying anything more and followed them into the factory.

Only after she was fully inside did the two young men close the iron gate again.

It made a loud clanging sound that echoed continuously in the empty building.

"This broken door is really hard to push open."

One of the young men wiped the sweat from his forehead, revealing a demon tattoo on his arm, and muttered a complaint.

"Isn't that obvious? No one's maintained it for five years, the shaft would have rusted away long ago."

Another young man wearing an earring rolled his eyes at him and responded irritably.

"Stop talking nonsense, find a corner and settle our young lady in."

The blond-haired guy turned around and glared at the two of them.

The pale moonlight shone through the small window.

Thick iron chains hung from the ventilation ducts, resembling dried-up corpses.

Ruri Gokage hid on the rooftop.

He carefully hunched over and peered down through the small window.

Her hands unconsciously gripped the hem of her skirt.

Now how to do?

She truly never expected this situation to occur.

She hadn't heard the conversation between the group of people at the gate of the waste treatment plant because of the distance.

But she saw it very clearly.

Three thugs, who clearly weren't good people, surrounded a pretty girl and tied her hands together with cable ties.

This looks very bad no matter how you look at it.

Just call the police!

Ruri Gokou made her decision.

She took her phone out of her skirt pocket.

The faint light from the screen illuminated her face.

Without much hesitation, I dialed the police immediately.

She then peered down at the scene below while holding her phone to her ear.

"Hello, this is the Chiba City Public Safety Agency. How can I help you?"

The call was answered, and a sweet, cloying voice came from the other end.

"I want to report this to the police."

Ruri Gokou spoke softly, covering her mouth with her left hand to prevent the three thugs below from hearing her.

"In Wakamatsu-cho, Chiba City, a girl has been kidnapped at an abandoned old waste disposal plant. The kidnappers are three young men, around eighteen years old."

The woman's voice paused for a moment on the other end of the phone.

Then, Gokou Ruri could hear the sound of papers turning, which meant that the other party was probably taking a statement.

"Okay," the voice sounded again, but the tone was much more serious than before: "Please leave your information. If the situation is true, we will need your cooperation later."

Ruri Gokou nodded, gave her personal information, and then hung up the phone.

The little head peeked out the window.

He watched the factory building with considerable tension.

She had to keep a close eye on these people until the police arrived.

If the situation changes, we can inform you immediately.

With her attention completely focused on what was below, she didn't notice at all that behind her, a small bear about half her height was hiding behind the water tower on the rooftop in the same posture.

A pair of button-shaped eyes were staring at her back.

Without realizing it, the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped.

The moon was shrouded in clouds.

The whole world seemed to darken.

The wind on the rooftop got stronger.

Ruri Gokou couldn't help but shiver; her neck felt cold.

Looking back.

The rooftop was empty.

Only the water tower stood there silently.

Volume 1: Chapter 70 Midnight Knock on the Door

They walked all the way to the deepest part of the waste treatment plant, until they reached the side of the incinerator, before they stopped.

This place is quite deep, so even if some idle people or homeless people are curious and look this way from the doorway, they won't be able to see them.

"This will do."

The blond-haired man spoke, waving his hand in front of him.

This factory is closed year-round, with no air circulation, making it extremely stuffy.
