In the middle of the street, there are three kids, two boys and a girl, walking. There seems to be an elementary schooler, just going home from school. While they're having a conversation as they walk on their way home, one of them suddenly ask,
"Hey guys, have you heard of the rumored place?"
"You mean the place where many people got killed?"
"Yeah. So, wanna go there?"
"Isn't that a bad idea? People died there, you know? And that area is restricted."
"Yeah, we might get scolded."
"What, you two are scared?"
"N-no we're not! We just don't want to get into trouble, right, Hana-chan?"
"Yep, yep."
"Hah, that's what a coward would say."
"You… Bring it on! Let's go see who's the coward here!"
"That's the spirit, Takamoto! What about you, Hana?"
"Taka-kun, Hattori-kun, i… can't join you two…"
"What? Why?"
"I'm… scared. Okaasan and Otousan keep reminding me to not go there. So, i can't join you two…"
"Oh, come on. We're just going there to take a quick look. So come with us."
"But…"
"I promise, we are really not going to take long there. And Takamoto will be going there too."
"Hey, Hattori, don't force Hana-chan! If she doesn't want to, then let her be."
"...i will go too…"
"Alright! Now that Hana agreed as well, let's go to the rumored area."
"Hana-chan, don't force yourself, okay? It's okay to decline, if you don't want to–"
"No, it's okay. I don't mind if it's scary, as long as i'm with Taka-kun, i will go as well."
"Hana-chan…"
"Hey you two! What are you guys doing?! Let's go already!"
"Right, coming! Let's go as well, Hana-chan."
"Yes."
The three kids went to the rumored place. That place was rumored to be unknowingly the houses on that whole street, people living there suddenly gone, leaving the furniture, appliances, and important things untouched. Also, only a pool of blood and few parts of the human body were left behind. Even how dangerous is the place from rumor describes, the kids are still going there.
"Alright, we're finally here."
"Hana-chan, stay behind me."
"O…kay…"
They arrived at the restricted area.
That area, that street, was blocked by a concrete blockade, a sign saying 'DON'T ENTER', and each of the houses has a police tape in it.
"Hey, wanna go further in?"
"Oi! It's really going to get us into trouble if we continue."
"Oh, it's fine, no ones around, so… we're still good to go."
Hattori said, as he went further in, passing the blockade.
"Tch. Hana-chan, hold my hand and don't let it go."
Hana held Takamoto's hand, then followed Hittori inside. With Hittori in the front, Takamoto in the middle, and Hana in the back while holding Takamoto's hand, shaking in fear. They venture in the street that is empty, and lifeless houses as if they're abandoned. Since the rumor, the neighboring streets were abandoned as well.
"Hey, are we not done yet?"
Hana asked.
"No, just a little more."
Hattori replied.
"I… think we need to get out of here. It's already giving me the creeps."
Takamoto stated.
"Don't be like that, nothing will go wr–"
"Hey, you three!"
While the three kids were walking, suddenly someone called them.
It was a male student, a highschooler, based on its school uniform that is extremely fashionable. A long-sleeved white polo with a necktie is worn over a navy color blazer with white edging on certain areas, such as the cuffs.
"Hey, what are you guys doing here?!"
The male student asked from a far distance.
"Oh, we're just looking around!"
Hattori replied.
"Hey, hey Hattori, look at his hand."
Takamoto whispered to Hattori and mentioned it.
In that student hand was a metal pipe.
"...um… Nii-chan, what are you doing here?!..."
Hattori asked the same question the student asked them.
"Oh, i'm doing something important here! And it's dangerous! You guys should get out here!"
The student answered as he was slowly getting closer to them.
"Is that so?... Then what's important you gonna do?!"
Hattori asked again while they're stepping backwards, slowly getting away from the student.
"You guys don't need to know what i'm doing. You three should get out now before it's too late."
The student said.
"I'm… scared…"
Hana muttered in, shivering from behind.
"Run!"
Hattori shouted.
"Eh?"
The student was confused on why the three kids started running.
Seeing them run as fast as they could, suddenly one of the kids, the girl, tripped.
"Hana-chan!"
"Why did you let her go?"
Hattori asked Takamoto.
"Sorry, her hand just suddenly slipped."
While they're talking, the student went closer to the Hana and say,
"Hey, are you okay?!"
"No, no, get away! I don't want to die! Taka-kun, help!"
Hana screamed as she started to cry.
"Eh? I'm not doing a single thing yet. I just want to help."
The student got even more confused.
"Really, i'm just going to help."
"Get away from Hana-chan!!"
"Wha–Oof!"
Takamoto headbutts the student's stomach, and it's affected.
"That's freaking hurt…"
The student ranted.
"Hana-chan, let's go."
Takamoto grabs Hana's hand and starts running.
"Hey, wait! Your bruises!"
The student calls for them, but they're already far running.
"Haah, those kids… never mind. I'm glad that they already left, or else they might get involved with me and die. Now that they're gone, it's time to start the plan."
The student takes out his phone and calls someone.
"Yes, officer. I need some help. Someone's trying to murder me. I'm currently at rumored street, hiding. Yes, they're in groups. I don't think i can wait, so please, officer, arrive early before they find me."
He tried to be as convincing as it could, and it worked, so now they're going to him.
"Now that that is done, i shall wait for the killer and try to last until the cops arrive."
So he waited at the side, sat on the ground, until that person arrived.
In a couple of minutes, someone arrived. It was not the cops, but a person in a white jacket. It travels by jumping from rooftop to rooftop, then attacks him from the top. However, he already noticed it and quickly dodge it.
"So you finally arrived."
He said to the person.
"..."
Yet, it didn't answer, then just attacked him continuously.
He manages to dodge it all and time to counter-attack. He swung the metal pipe to his holding, however the person easily cut it. But he already knew that, after the pipe got cut across, because of how it gets cut, the pipe becomes pointy and gives an opportunity to stab the person.
On how close they are, yet that person easily dodge it. And follow a horizontal attack.
Luckily, his reaction got developed through its previous loops, so he is able to duck and barely dodge it then step back. Furthermore, he didn't stop there, when he created a distance between him and the killer, he threw his weapon at that person. Yet, expectedly, it didn't work and was easily sliced. But that doesn't matter because he already knew that's going to happen, he just did that to get an opportunity to get a head start from running.
He ran and ran and ran, even though he got a head start, the killer was still able to catch up.
"Tch, come on, please just give me a little while until the cops arrive."
He prayed from the top of his lungs, then it got answered when the cops finally arrived, and it's a group.
"You, stop right there!"
It said.
"Thank god, you guys are finally here. Please help me. The killer is right behind me."
"I said stop right there! Or else i shoot!"
"Please shoot!"
"Stooop!"
The cop finally pulled the trigger. However, it was supposed to be the killer behind him getting the shot, yet he's the one who got hit instead.
"Eh?"
He's confused and shocked on why he's the one got shot in the leg then fell.
"W…why me?!"
He shouted from his lungs, questioning the cops.
"Why am I the one getting shot at?! I'm not the killer! The person behind me was the killer!"
He pointed behind, but no one's there.
"You have the right to remain silent."
One of the cops stated.
"But, but."
"Hey, kids! Is he the one you guys are talking about?!"
The cop asked the three kids from behind.
"Yes, Oji-san! He's the one trying to hurt Hana-chan!"
One of the kids answered.
"What? No. I'm just trying to help her."
"Explain that in the jail."
"Wait, not today. The person from behind me is really the killer. And It's trying to kill me."
"Trying to trick us, ey? There's no one behind you at all."
The cop didn't believe and still hand cupped him.
"Officer, you gotta believe. Look, the killer is at the top!"
"No use on tricking u–"
It's already too late for the cop. When the person in white is really at the top and suddenly sliced the cop in half.
"What the…"
The other cops were surprised.
"Hurry, shoot that person!"
One of the cop's shouted, then they started gunning that person.
Even though they have advantage in numbers and weapons, it is still useless for that person in white. Because that person easily dodge the bullets or slice it like It's nothing, then slashed all the cops, and even not giving mercy on the kids. After that person kill all of them, it went back to the student then say,
"Really, a failure. Goodbye."
And slashed him.
