Chereads / Deceptive Shroud / Chapter 16 - chapter 15

Chapter 16 - chapter 15

Steve was sweating while he was lying on the bed in the Tsurugi's house when he opened his eyes with difficulty, he sat on the bed and took his phone out of the bag that was dumped on the ground to find that the time was the 5 am on the 4th of February, he moderated his sitting more while staring at the wall in front of him, Tsurugi knocked on the door, he modified his appearance and opened the door to find her carrying a tray that contains soup and some of the broth with vegetables, she said with coldness: I hope you don't any allergies.

Steve's eyes widened when he noticed that Tsurugi's hands and fingers were burned, he took the tray, placed it on the nearest table to them, grabbed her hands as he examined it, and spoke anxiously: Did you burn yourself?

Tsurugi pulled her hands quietly and spoke coldly: eat the food before it gets cold.

She left, not giving Steve time to argue. Steve took the food and started eating, but the food was Inedible, and the vegetables weren't cooked well. He mumbled to himself, "How can she live alone if she didn't even know how to cook?" 

He sighed put the food on the table and spoke again to himself: at least she tried.

Tsurugi came again while holding a small chair, she put it in front of him and sat and started speaking: I will not move till you tell me what happened.

Steve moved a little bit. She stood up, kicked the door, closed it, and continued saying while she sat again, "You will not go anywhere."

Steve shook his head and spoke: nothing happened.

After ten minutes he started to speak since he got tired from Tsurugi looking at him: It's all about

He sighed and spoke again: my apartment got attacked and I was kicked out of my apartment by the apartment building owner. 

Tsurugi narrowed her eyes and cut him when he was about to continue: don't speak more, we need to tell what's going on with Sawada.

Steve's eyes widened and he shook his head: I don't want the organization to get involved. I will get my salary after two days, leave the moment I get it, and look for a good apartment.

Tsurugi stood up and started searching for her phone, Steve followed her and pleaded: please don't do it, everything is going to be okay. 

Tsurugi turned her head and told him: what if the attack wasn't because you are foreign but was caused by those monsters?

Steve's eyes widened at Tsurugi's words and asked with wonder: how did you know I was thinking it was a racist attack because I'm a foreign?

Tsurugi didn't answer him and was still looking for her phone, Steve found it took it, and ran back to the room he locked the door with the key after he entered the room, Tsurugi stood up and took out a wired phone and started with a combination and called on Sawada, Steve's eyes widened and he opened the door to of the room and saw her talking via a wired phone, Steve sighed and put her phone on the table in the corridor and sat in the chair watching Tsurugi, as soon as it was over he asked loudly: Why?

Tsurugi turned to him and said: We must take precautions, we are at a very critical time.

She noticed the food he didn't eat and asked while not looking into his eyes: Would you like some pastries like croissants? I'll walk to one of the shops when it opens.

Steve shook his head but she didn't listen to him and wore her slippers and got out, he sighed again and spoke to himself: why do you have to do this to yourself, Tsurugi?

He quickly washed his face changed his clothes and went out and turned right and left until he found her waiting for him, his cheeks turned red, and he began to walk. At the same time, she started to walk, he was holding a coat for her but she refused to wear it, the atmosphere between them was calm where no one was saying a single word, Ness woke up Before everyone, she changed her clothes and immediately left the room and she was quietly walking until suddenly Emmanuel put his cup of coffee quietly on the table and said, looking at her: Where are you going, young lady?

Ness shivered and she turned behind quietly to find her father sitting on a chair while smiling, she was searching for an excuse in her mind then something came to her mind and said: I will go to that librarian that Simon talked about her

Emmanuel raised his right eyebrow, not convinced, but only said: Be careful and you must return before five

She nodded and left not wanting him to change his mind, she was running around fast when she stopped in front of a huge building for a fashion show, she entered through the side door and someone stopped her: what are you doing here?

She flinched and raised her tiny finger at someone passing by: I lost my mom and I think she is here and there she is

The person was unable to say something else until she ran away, took out her camera, and started going calmly, picking up video clips and wearing a hat to cover her face until she found a staircase taking her up and started ascending until she found an empty place and it was a small room dedicated to VIP to see the show from another perspective, she started taking photo clips for the show until she heard a high heel sound that came to her, she hid behind one of the curtains and Helene entered and sat in one of the seats and another person entered with her, but Ness couldn't know them or see them, Helene began to complain quietly: I do not know where that girl went, we had to replace our makeup artist before it is too late.

The other person asked her: You said two young men were coming to see her?

Helen spoke as she moderated her sitting and removed the heels as she checked her foot, which was slightly reddened by the heels: Yes, you know who I mean.

The other young lady laughed in a low voice and spoke: yes I know exactly who you mean, I know very well, and how can I not know I have been told about them by someone, but don't worry, Helene, she's okay.

Suddenly Helene said something making Ness sweat more: can you smell it? It smells of very strong sweat.

She laughed with her and spoke: look at those who are down there, How they're stacked, normally, they've started sweating, it's good that you're a person of high stature I can't imagine sitting with any of those low-status insects.

Helene laughed at her words but it was a fake one, Helene changed her position in the chair when the young lady stood up and walked a little, Ness started to sweat more behind the curtains, The curtains were obscuring the eyes of both parties but Ness knows very well that the young lady is standing and looking at the curtains with her cunning smile, Ness knows that she knows that she is behind the curtains, Ness was more terrified and she was thinking in her mind: she knows she knows she knows, she knows very well that I am behind the curtains.

Helene asked confused: is everything okay?

The young lady laughed and said while walking away: no nothing but you need to be more careful Helene, or you will get punished the same way the others got punished.

Helene's body was trembling, but she brought out feared laughter, Helene wore her heel and left the room, Ness took out a deep breath that she didn't know that she was holding, Ness confirmed that no one was in the near to get out of the room, she was looking right and left in fear that someone would see her and causes a problem, but she went out calmly without anyone seeing her, She took a deep breath and got out and started to return to her place When Irie entered his new office which is where Sawada office is he noticed some of his stuff is missing and he started to search in the drawers but he didn't find anything and then Sawada came in and spoke wondering: Is everything okay?

Irie nodded his head and replied: yes yes everything is okay, don't you think we should put a lock on the door?

Sawada's eyes narrowed and spoke while laughing but his face was hard and he was looking around quietly: oh, why you are right why not put a lock?

Suddenly Marsha burst in but stopped when she realized she hadn't knocked on the door, she started to stutter while speaking: I'm sorry I didn't mean to enter without knocking on the door.

Sawasa bursts out laughing and he pats Marsha's shoulder carefully and speaks quietly: it's okay Marcia, I'm sure it's an emergency. 

Marsha nodded her head and spoke with fear: there is a letter.

Irie's eyes widened and spoke with confusion: but we checked out yesterday.

Sawada spoke quietly: they never said at what time they would put the letter they just wanted us to check

Irie nodded his head went out and took the letter and started to read it with Sawada but Irie started to shake, he spoke: they knew about your daughter's school.

Sawasa looked so calm, but he took out his breath and spoke: so I should let her be homeschooled with Yasuji and Yanai in Shozo's house, but no this is more dangerous for them all, any ideas? 

Irie shook his head and Sawada noticed how Irie was so worried in his face this was the first time Sawada had seen him like this, Marsha spoke in a low voice: she can stay with me and Kunio.

Swada smiled and said while shaking his head: Kunio, Ishizaki Kunio, it's a great idea but let go and get his permission first.

Marsha nodded while being nervous, Irie asked: is this really a good idea, Sawada?

He added: no none of them are a hunter and they also live in the countryside.

Sawada started to think till he spoke while he pats both of the adults' heads: We will think about this later I will go and check on her.

Then he left, Irie sighed and spoke to Marsha: it's okay everything is going to be okay, just take care of yourself and everything is going to be okay? Don't push yourself or do anything crazy.

Marsha nodded her head and left, Irie turned around and saw a small statue that looked like a beetle that Sawada had been looking at the whole time they spoke and he turned as if to check whether it had moved or not. Irie almost examined it, but Tsurugi walked in and spoke in earnest: I have something important to tell you.

Irie turned to look at her and waited for her to speak, she spoke: Steve's apartment got attacked, he thought it was from Racist people but I didn't think of that, I checked it by myself, it was those monsters doing and it seems they were searching for something inside his apartment, I asked him if he lost anything he said he didn't

Irie kept listening to her, then he opened a box and started looking for a key between the keys, they weren't cards, they were iron keys, then he took out a key, and then he spoke: That section is still old as the locks and doors are old where we need real keys and not our cards But it's okay for the time being is enough, we have to make sure everything is ready and you know the rest.

She left and he followed her and when reached the old section she asked: no cameras? And it's seems really old, good thing it's didn't get burned.

Irie opened the door and as soon as they entered the corridor he took out his phone to turn on its lights and used it like a flashlight and started looking for the switches to open the lights until he found it and opened it and some of the lights worked and they were old, Irie sighed: Our salaries will be reduced if we are going to change a large part of this place and renovate it, but it is okay better than foreigners paying huge sums, now have you please called the rest?

She left and Irie began to inspect the matter, entered the joint small kitchen and opened the water and was running in small quantities and was dirty, Irie put his arm on his mouth and nose so that he did not inhale dust and dirt, he found one of the refrigerators and opened it and was not working, he started examining the rooms. The number was about 20 rooms It is enough for 3 people, that is, it is enough for 60 people, the room was small and its beds were worn out, then he heard screams of someone, he turned to find Kirie shivering when a huge rat went next to her, she said shivering for fear: There is a mouse.

Tsurugi corrected her quietly: it's a rat.

Kirie said whining: Still rodents, do you think there are more?

Tsurugi answered her while pointing somewhere: We don't think we are sure there is more.

Kirie screamed with all her might, she saw a large crowd of rats, she immediately hid behind Tsurugi, Tsurugi sighed shook her head, and said: We will take a long time to clean this place.

Irie said while holding a huge gun that contained a green liquid: or we can start now.

He started spraying on the rats that started whining in pain and some started moving and running, which made Kirie hold on to Tsurugi more, Tsurugi took out two scissors and started stabbing any rat she could, Kirie ran outside the section but couldn't reach the bathroom and vomited on the way, Sakiko came to her running and asked her anxiously: Are you okay?

Kirie shook her head and spoke hard: Rats, there are many Rats.

Sakiko turned until she saw the old section was open and she could see how there were rats and insects and anything that the person might think about and might not think about running from the section and the whole headquarters was full of screams, some were already killing them and some were scared and there were those who fainted, Sakiko helped Kirie and took her to the bathroom but even in the bathroom some of the rats and insects were hiding, Sakiko spoke: Wait a minute, I'll clean up the place for you, okay?

Sakiko entered and Kirie waited until she saw someone kill a rat, which led her to vomit again, and the moment Sakiko came out, she saw the scene in front of her, sighed, and began to pat her back: Come on, come on, it's okay, it's going to be okay.

The headquarters was been in total chaos for long hours until no one was allowed in or out it was confirmed that a large percentage of the headquarters was cleaned, and now it is cleaned of corpses of rats, insects, and others, and disinfected, Kirie asked: Is the kitchen okay?

As soon as Sakiko heard Kirie's question, she burst out laughing and said, trying to imitate Kohaku's movements and moves: The kitchen is the only place that nothing entered, your brother took good care of him He didn't let anything in or pollute him, he was killing them, cutting them up and torturing them as if he was cooking at a show.

Kirie started to imagine it and laughed, but she also almost vomited again, but it didn't: Let's not talk about it, please.

Sakiko let out a small laugh but it was a nervous one, Yasuo entered the headquarters after trying many times while cursing till he saw the scene in front of him, he turned around and looked at Kosho while rubbing her neck from behind: Can I leave?

Kosho laughed and he let him leave, the moment he stepped out he heard a sarcastic voice from behind him: are you scared? 

He turned and saw Elena, he pointed at her and said: aren't you also scared?

She turned red from embarrassment and said while stuttering: and what's wrong with this? Isn't this normal for a woman like me? We get scared of these filthy creatures?

Yasuo laughed and Elena glared at him then she started walking away. Meanwhile, Eshe was walking in a dark building when suddenly someone kicked her with full force on her stomach and it was Cindy, Eshe fell on her knees and Cindy sat on her back while she was playing with one of the needles, Cindy spoke didn't look at Eshe while the needle moved in randomly and indicates it on any side: You know why I am here and what I want, Eshe, I'm angry with you very much from what you are doing, I told you more than once that you need to control your anger, but if you will not do that then why do I control my anger with you.

She said the last line while standing up and stepping on Eshe's hand while looking at her with anger, she added: you make me so mad, sometimes I want to cut you into pieces and feed you to the animals but I know this is impossible and I know very well that I need you, sadly, so control your anger.

Eshe straightened and sat on her knees and her back was straight, Cindy pulled her hair back with all force and cruelty and she had a wide smile on her face suspicious and scary, she grabbed the needle and brought it closer to Eshe's left eye and she was going to inject it but Eshe moved which led to the injection of Eshe's cheek and this caused her to scream and she moved more but Cindy let out a playful laugh and kept injecting her anywhere the syringe was going and she was saying in a playful voice: Stop moving, you silly.

Eshe was moving more, crying more, trying to talk, but this caused Cindy to lose her patience and kicked her back from behind and pulled Eshe's hair back more, making her back arch dramatically, Cindy spoke with anger: who told you that you can move and speak?

She injected Eshe's left eye with the entire liquid, Eshe's eyes widened more and let out a loud scream with all the power she had, Cindy left her and Eshe fell on the floor with her arched back and started to roll right and left from the huge pain, Cindy was laughed hysterically without stop, she left and left Eshe in pain alone on the cold floor 

After some time Hato was styling her curly hair while humming and she was wearing a luxurious tight red dress with some accessories, Masahito entered the room and spoke with confusion: did I interrupt something? Are you going somewhere?

She nodded while putting makeup on her face, he raised one of his eyebrows in wonder but he nodded and didn't say anything, she laughed a little and grabbed his shoulders and started massaging it: don't worry everything will be fine I'll be back before curfew so don't worry nothing will happen I promise you just I'll meet a friend of mine, a girl Don't worry not a boy.

He let out a sarcastic short laugh and nodded and she continued to put on the makeup, he spoke quietly: there is no need for all this makeup just be yourself.

She let out a small laugh but smiled and asked him: what does this mean?

He shrugged and then entered the kitchen and washed the dishes, she stood up behind him and said: I will cook lunch tomorrow don't worry.

He shook his head and said: no need it's my turn, don't worry go and have fun but return before curfew.

She nodded with her head and used a long heel and went out as he heard the sound of her heels, he returned to cleaning the dishes while sighing and lengthening, when he finished he entered the room and began to arrange it quietly before he lay on the bed calmly, he took out his phone and started checking on the messages and everything before he put it on the table next to the bed and closed his eyes While he was lying down and began to sleep, he heard a strange voice in the apartment, he did not move, He took his pistol from the bottom of the bed and put it behind him and then lay on his back, the person entered calmly and knows Masahito well that the person's eyes on him even if there is no light, then the person started searching calmly in an attempt to find the thing they are looking for , Without hesitation, Masahito was withdrawn when he knew where the person stood completely even if the place was dark and pulled his gun and shot at the person who let out a high cry and noticed Mashaito that the cry was for a woman, turned her hand into something huge that Mashaito could not absorb what was and hit him with full force until his head hit the cabinet behind him, Masahito fell as he grabbed his head and tried to stand, but hit him again, which led to his ejaculation outside the room and hit the wall, he stood with all difficulty and then noticed that the lights of the corridor of the apartment were on which means someone pass by and he tried to see who is the person in front of him but he fainted , He doesn't know how long he fainted, but suddenly he heard the sound of a little girl laughing and he felt with someone running around him, in the meantime, Hatpo was walking up to a luxurious restaurant and entered and spoke with the waitress and sat in front of the awaited person and it was Yukiko, Hato talked to her with a wide smile : So how are you? Yuki?

Yukiko was putting lipstick before putting it aside and changed her position and spoke in a cold tone: you are late.

Hato giggled and spoke: I'm sorry I got into trouble while I'm on my way, so?

Yukiko raised her right brow and said, wondering: So what?

Hato sighed and answered: you know what I'm talking about, the novel when the new one is going to be published?

Yukiko started adjusting her coat, then her hair, and she said with difficulty: it's under investigation, I don't know what happened but it's under investigation, I think there's something wrong with it that the government felt was insulting to them, so it's going to be investigated.

Hato frowned and said frowningly: It's just a horror novel, what did they think it would contain? It's a book about a girl who was unjustly murdered and then came back to take revenge and cause chaos and terror, the government focuses on other things and leaves the real chaos, I really can't believe this. I was excited about your distribution and autograph festival.

Yukiko shrugged and said quietly: That's what it is now and I have to accept it, I'm used to it, my novels have been rejected many times by publishers until I published them myself, right how is your husband?

Hato's cheeks turned red and spoke nervously while fixing her hair: Hito? He is okay, don't worry, speaking about marriage when are you going to get married?

Meanwhile, Kuina knocked on the door of the Mashaito apartment waiting for him to open the door, but nothing and felt the presence of sermons, so she took her phone and called him and heard his phone ringing inside, Kuina confirmed that something happened so I contacted Yasuo and told him about the matter and started knocking on the door more to make sure, There were some of the people who already went out to make sure what was happening in the Mashaito apartment, Kuina kicked the door more than once until I felt someone touched her shoulder and cried and screamed and almost hit them when she found that he was just the owner of the apartments, the man spoke angrily: What are you doing? I received a lot of complaints, but I never thought it was true or real.

She spoke while sweating and stuttering: Masahito is inside but he isn't answering could you bring the apartment key?

The man sighed and left and she just stood there and Yasuo came: any news?

She pointed at the owner: he went to bring the key, I think.

Yasuo nodded then the owner came and put in the key the moment they opened the door the lights entered the apartment and the owner's eyes widened same as Yasuo's and Kuina's eyes, Masahito was on the floor with some blood around him, the owner was about to call the ambulance but Yasuo stopped him and spoke: don't do it there is no need for this, We are his friends we know what to do.

The man was hesitant but nodded and left, Yasao picked him up and started running muttering: Don't you die, fool.

He went to the headquarters and ran to the medical department and put him on one of the beds: Will he be okay?

Issei was checking on him: it looked like he was hit so hard, took him into the X-ray room.

Masahito was admitted to the X-ray room Kuina explained what happened, and Irie spoke quietly: with all of these people they choose Masahito? What did the intruder want? Masahito has nothing valuable, okay okay calm please he'll be fine you can go and complete what you've been doing thank you Kuina and Yasuo.

They both left and then Kuina spoke: have you felt it?

Yasuo spoke with wonder: felt what?

Kuina answered him while she shivered: there was someone inside, not the wife if it was the wife she would've helped him, but somebody else.

She turned to Yasuo and added: The intruder was already there when we were there before we entered, even before I arrived. No, he was even there before

Yasuo's eyes widened and cut her while he was stuttering: are you saying they never left?

She nodded and spoke: they must have been still looking for the thing they came for or they couldn't have found a way out.

Yasuo spoke fastly: then we have to go back to cap—-

Kuina interrupted him: It's useless, they must be gone, remember, we left the door open, and also even if they didn't leave, do you think we have a chance against them? If Masah--

He interrupted her saying: Masahito is not a close rage fighter, but we are yes, and we are two, Now we don't need to turn off the lights because we already know they are there. 

Kuina shook her head bit her lips and then said: It's no use, I don't think they are there right now.

Yasuo spoke while he watched her quietly: you are scared aren't you?

Kuina turned her gaze away from him and then said in a low voice: So what? And what if I'm scared, do you see what the situation we are in, we should plan we should think before we do anything, I don't want to lose someone else, so let's go of this now okay?

Yasuo nodded but her words didn't convince him: I will go.

Kuina knew very well that he was not convinced and that he would return to Masahito's apartment, she sighed and shook her head and as soon as she turned to the other side she found Sakiko right next to her, Kina let out a faint cry and put her hand on her heart: Sakiko you scared me.

Sakiko laughed nervously and said: sorry I didn't mean to scare you Kuina, I came to check on you, how are you now?

Kuina smiled and her cheeks turned red: I'm fine don't worry, speaking of this how are the others?

Sakiko smiled and spoke: they're doing great, I came to ask you about Kirie, Did you check on her after she left to go back to her home?

Kuina shook her head and replied: No I didn't, why did something bad happen?

Sakiko replied while she fixed her dress, no just a little accident, tell me what would happen to her if you returned home.

Sakiko left leaving Kuina confused, Issei looked at the results that he got, sighed, and started to massage his nose bridge and took a breath and then let it out, he looked again at the results put them on the table, and started to look at Masahito who is sleeping at one of the beds in the medical section, He was stable but in a coma, Irie came in and asked Issei: So?

Issei replied: he is in a coma I don't know when but he is in a coma for now.

Irie nodded and spoke: I understand thank you, we need someone to tell his wife about this news.

Issei shook his head: not gonna be me, I have work to do inside and outside the organization.

Irie nodded and spoke: I will message Yasuo.

The moment Yasuo arrived he found Hato standing in front of the apartment which was all broken and chaotic, she was walking quietly with amazement and wonder but she was calm, then she sighed and shook her head and said to herself loudly without noticing the presence of Yasuo: I knew something like this would happen, so I had made the pre-preparations

She entered the kitchen took out her phone and started to search for something when Yasuo entered behind her and spoke with a low quiet tone and tried to copy the AI phone voice: sorry, The person you are trying to reach is currently unavailable. Please try again later.

Hato turned fastly while holding a broom but Yasuo raised his both hands higher and spoke while trying to calm her down: easy easy it's me Yasuo, Fujimoto Yasuo I work with the organization with Masahito, I just got a message, he is in a coma and they don't know when well he wakes up.

Hato was staring at him while still holding the broom but then she put it aside and asked him quietly: can you push the fridge and put it on the floor rather than it to be on top of this box?

Yasuo pushed the refrigerator with all difficulty because it was large and heavy and put it on the ground until he found that what the fridge was standing on was not any box but a box designed to carry heavy things Hato opened it and there were two bags inside, a medium-sized suitcase and a large handbag, Hato took them and said while giving him her number: I will look for a new apartment, any new news about my husband tell me.

Yasuo was surprised until Hato added: I know that I act as if my husband is not in a coma, but I know the nature of the work he works for, so I'm not surprised, and also I have to look for a new safe place, I don't think that this apartment is valid and I would like to make sure to get a suitable apartment as soon as possible, so goodbye.

Then she left and left Yasuo surprised and confused, but he didn't say anything or do something just walked into the broken apartment and began to collect anything that felt that Mashaito might need or seem valuable ​​and put it inside a bag that was still useful for us until he found a letter that he took but he didn't dare to open it so He placed it inside the bag and then confirmed everything and went out and went to talk to the owner of the apartments. Meanwhile, Kuina entered her house and Kohaku was washing the dishes, she asked confused: Why did you close the restaurant early? Is it an emergency?

Kohaku just shook his head and didn't reply, Kuina looked at the date and the time through her phone and sighed and spoke: sorry, I forgot your appointment, but it's okay you can go and I will continue the rest.

She took the dishes from him as he went up to get ready to go out, suddenly Kirie appeared next to her and Kuina almost dropped one of the dishes but she grabbed it in time, Krie apologized and then asked her: I'm sorry but I was wondering what is the problem with Kohaku, I mean covering the mouth and the lower part of his face and not talking.

Kuina's eyes widened and she started to have a panic attack but Kirie noticed it and stopped talking and held her hand calmly and said softly: Calm down Kuina please please, I'm here don't be afraid don't worry, how about you lie on your bed while I finish cleaning Okay? Let me take you to your bed.

Kirie took the dishes and put them aside and it helped Kuina to go upstairs and made her lie down on the bed brought her a glass of water and opened the window for her, then she went out with calmness, Kohaku walked her and grabbed a face calmly, but his touches were nice and warm until he settled on her head calmly, her eyes were closed Kirie to calm down a little and then smiled and spoke with Kohaku.

In the meantime there were a lot of members arranging the new section and modifying and cleaning it, Kokichi was complaining a lot while fixing one of the beds while Norihiko was fixing one of the shelves, He took a peek at Kokichi and then laughed and turned to him and said: So how about you change the lights in the other room so we can work in it.

Kokichi sighed, stopped, and went to bring the lamps until he noticed something strange, some employees had moved away from a room, Kokichi left the lamps next to the room and tried to open them, but it wasn't opened, so he turned to one of the female employees and asked her to bring the keys from Irie, she nodded her head and went to bring the keys, Kokichi was wondering what is inside this room until the someone cut his thoughts it was Norihiko screams, asking for lamps for the other rooms, Kokichi sighed and took the lamps for him and helped him to change the damaged old lamps while he was still thinking about what was inside the room, the employee returned and almost gave the key to Nami because Nami extended her hand To take the key, but Kokichi said in a sharp and angry voice: I warn you, give Noriko the key.

The employee was trembling and gave the key to Norihiko, who was holding the ladder on which he was standing, Noriko smiled and took the key even though he seemed tense from his unjustified anger toward Kokichi, Kokichi continued his work as he glared at Nami and she return the glare while she just standing while she was with crossed hands, Noriko turned at her and tell her: What do you think, Nami, to bring the equipment from the adjacent room until I fix the bathroom.

Nami rolled her eyes and then got out of the room, Norihiko turned and asked Kokichi: What is this?

Kokichi shrugged and Norihiko shook his head with disappointment, Issei was checking Masahito's condition and trying to find out exactly what was going on with him, he was checking his body temperature and everything in it, he sighed and sat on the chair and spoke to himself calmly: he is in a coma, but why? It's not the first time he's been hit his head? Could he have seen the person's face? But if he can, the person will kill him, so what exactly happened to you, Masahito?

Kuina woke up sweating and looking around her with all fear and tension, The sweats was all over her body as if she was standing at the sun completely in the summer, even though the window was open and the air was entering her room freely, she was straightened and sat on her bed calmly while she was trembling, the sweat was running down all of her body , her foot was revealed on the cold ground and started walking in her room calmly to reduce the tension and fear in her, she stopped and went to the bathroom to take a quick bath, she went out and went down to search for anything to drink and turned and noticed the presence of someone standing in front of their shop, she looked wondering, went up to the top and wore clothes over her sleeping clothes and used slippers and got out of the side door and went calmly to take a peek from those standing in front of the shop but the person no longer stands there, She was more surprised, sighed and almost return when she noticed something on the ground when she walked towards him, She noticed that it was just a rotten apple and has a lot of worms and insects.

Kuina's eyes widened and began to shiver while walking slowly to the side door while she was about to vomit but she held herself, as soon as she entered, she quickly went to the bathroom and started vomiting loudly until Kohaku and Kirie came out of their rooms, Kirie was anxious and she entered and started helping her and said Words to alleviate her sister, Kirie looked at all concern to her brother Kohaku, Kohaku went and went out until he found an apple, he was stared at it calmly as he looked at how insects eaten them slowly and the worms, his head was folded to the right a little, He was staring at an apple for a period not exceeding The seven minutes, then took the apple and threw it with the huge garbage, then returned to enter the house and washed his hands and returned to find that Kuina was in her room and Kirie helped her , He was standing there quietly and then returned to his room after closing the door of the Kuina room, Kirie decided to sleep this night in her sister's room, so she brought her pillow and her blanket put on top of the rug then the pillow on it and then she lay on the floor and covered herself with another blanket but was light, Kuina was trying to prevent her but she could not persuade Kirie, then Kirie said something that made Kuina laugh: Do you want me to tell you a story before bed? Maybe the story will help you sleep better and relieve the stress you feel, what do you think?

Kuina replied, giggling: Do you see me as a little girl who wants a bedtime story?

Kirie frowned and spoke while crossing her arms: come on telling a bedtime story isn't bad, I will not prolong your promise and if you do not like it you can tell me, what you think. I won't tell you a story about knights saving the world from the evil dragon.

Kuina laughed more but Kuina couldn't refuse, so she agreed and Kirie smiled wide and started telling her the story, meanwhile, Asagiri was looking for something in her bag while she was standing in the middle of her room while her hair was wet because she had just finished bathing and didn't dry it completely and sighed and said softly: How can I forget it at university, I have to go back to get it.

She took out her phone to call the university security, and when he answered her, she said calmly: Hello, I'm Asagiri Kotoko, can I come get something that I forgot in the lab, section B, on the third floor No. 7?

When security answered her, she started changing her clothes, then she came out of her room and said loudly: Mom, I'm going to the university in order to get something that I forgot, I'm not going to be late.

She heard her mother's voice from the room next to the door: Did you dry your hair? And also the curfew will start soon, Are you sure to go?

Asagiri sighed and replied: I did and I will be okay, I will return before the curfew, I need that sample, mom, I have a test coming up and I need the sample to study.

She lied a large part of her hair is wet and ran to the train station before even her mother responded to her , she got into the train at the right time before moving and she remained sitting, she was watching the sky calmly through the huge window in front of her, she was on her own on the train, definitely because of the curfew will start within a short time, upon her arrival, she felt a cold breeze of air, so she trembled, she tried to warm herself by rubbing both hands together and began walking to the university and when she called the security he did not answer her, which made her surprise, he told her that he would wait for her, She sighed and immediately walked to the door of the security and found it open and noticed that the opposite door that is connected to the university yard is open so she entered the yard and she feels a strange feeling while shivering because of the cold but she also feels something else that is not right , but she cannot know what exactly so she continued her walk inside the yard and stopped when she noticed that one of the gates of the university is open as if someone entered and they are still inside the university, the keys weren't on the door , which means that someone entered with the rest of the keys to open something else , she entered slowly and quietly while she feels unexplained annoyance, but she went inside anyway, even if she doesn't feel comfortable and feels afraid, fear is just an obstacle and there is nothing scary in this life, she said to herself: What's the point of going back after coming here, Kotoko? It's not like there's some monster or ghost going to devour me.

She started to walk in the hallway quietly and she was looking to her right and then left and there was no one or anything strange but she still did feel something was off, she kept walking till she reached the stairs and she started to climb them slowly and start to call the security again but no use he didn't answer, she holds her phone tightly and send a message to Ri that she is in the university and is going to the lab to get the sample that she forgot and then forcefully put the phone into her trouser pocket, Asagiri reached the first floor and she was never more comfortable now so she stopped and was looking on both sides and then sighed and said to herself to calm herself down: Stop it Asagiri Kotoko, there is nothing so stop scaring yourself.

Immediately after her, she climbed to the second floor, and she heard footsteps of a person running behind her on the first floor, she shivered and turned her head quickly, but she didn't see anyone, the horror increased within her, and started ascending to the second floor and she saw a shadow running fastly on the second floor, which increased her horror and started running quickly to the third floor, then she said More to calm herself: Stop it, Kotoko! This isn't a disgrace to be afraid and terrified in this way. There is no need for fear. You should be the ideal! Since when have you been afraid in this way?

She remembered the drawings of that young man who published it on social media, but she shake her head right and left, then she took a deep breath and took it off calmly, then she returned to walk on the third floor, then took her phone to return to the security, then she heard a voice of a phone on the third floor, but she does not know where completely , She thought that she was imagining, so she stopped calling and the sound stopped from ringing, then she returned to the call, she heard the sound of the security phone, which made her call in his name loudly, but all she hears is the voice of the phone and began to go towards the sound calmly and whenever she approached the sound, she smelled a very bad smell , She reached the end of the hallway where she reached the 7th lab, she stood up when I noticed that the place was darker and there was no light not even from the moon as the curtains were closed, she called again but she didn't get an answer so she stopped the call and turned on the phone flash and entered the lab and she was hearing strange sounds and the sounds were becoming more clear as she approached and entered the lab and the smell of iron was unbearable so she put her other hand on her nose.

As soon as she entered, she slipped from some liquid on the ground, which led to her falling, and dropped her phone, which made her never see anything, she was looking at her phone that fell down, then she felt that the liquid was covering her palms, It was sticky and it was cold, her eyes widened, She noticed that the sound she heard inside stopped for a while and all she heard was the sound of air from outside the window, She held her breath so that she wouldn't make any other sound , She felt something next to her and immediately after her sense of it, she noticed that it was a phone, but it wasn't her phone, but it is the security phone, and as soon as she took it, she slowly start to crawl to one of the tables, as even if she could not see she knows the lab very well, she opened it to contact the emergency when she felt someone breathing next to her side , and he was very cold, her eyes expanded more and then she grabbed the chair which was beside her and shouted at her loudest to hit what was next to her and dropped the security phone, and there was someone who answered her to call and she heard someone trying to communicate with her via the phone, but she doesn't have the time to take the phone and answered them, she ran to the other side, she started to runs in the other side of the lab for the emergency button, but something on the ground led to her fall , it was something big , no it was someone because she felt their hair by her hand but something is off , she stood up hardly and immediately pressed the emergency button so all the light went on and a siren start to rang loudly and something was sprayed something in all the buildings, Asagiri's eyes widened as soon as she saw what was the thing that on the floor and what was in front of her.
