He is dead.

Ryo Ashiya knew this clearly.

The moment the fingertips pierce the position of the "Pre-reading Seal", the man's death was declared.

The active vitality is like an hourglass, passing away little by little from the man's body.

This process is unavoidable and unstoppable.

However, after the lower body that dominated the body was exhausted, the man's head once again emerged with one or two points of consciousness.

"Do you have any last words? I can help you answer."

Ryo Ashiya showed mercy and asked the other party.

“…”

The man with a beast-headed body was silent, and only tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

He murmured again: "Why..."

The man has lost his basic rationality, leaving only an empty shell, and...

An obsession.

What he wanted to ask is...Why did I encounter such a thing?

Why, it was me?

Ryo Ashiya sighed heavily without answering.

Soon, the man's life disappeared, and his cold body stood there.

Ashiya still has many doubts in her heart.

For example, why did this man suddenly appear here and then land in front of his taxi so much - it was more like a premeditated attack than an accident.

This means that behind this matter, there are other people's arrangements.

He looked around the shadows, alert to possible attacks, but his mental power did not notice the other threatening existence.

‘By the way, uncle driver.’

Ashiya Ryo suddenly thought of the taxi driver and wondered if he was injured.

But before he could turn around, there was a burst of applause behind him.

"Smack sex..."

"It's worthy of being Ashiya, this level of danger is not a threat to you at all."

‘Who? When?’

Ryo Ashiya frowned and looked back.

The taxi driver walked out of the car and stood in front of him. The face of the middle-aged man who had experienced vicissitudes seemed to be in a fog and could not be seen clearly no matter what.

Only then did Ryo Ashiya think of something.

From calling a taxi to getting on the bus and then driving along the way, he had never seen the driver's face.

It just formed the image of a man in his forties and fifties in his mind, and the vicissitudes of life seemed to be written on his face.

Now it seems that it is just Ashiya Ryo's wishful judgment.

Under normal circumstances, he definitely won't do this, there is only one answer-

My own thinking was affected unknowingly.

‘When did it start?’

Ryo Ashiya quickly recalled the strange things on the road.

‘Are you seeing the taxi start?’

‘No, it’s even earlier.’

Ashiya Ryo had goose bumps all over his body, and he suddenly noticed a detail that he had overlooked before.

Why didn't he choose to contact Yuta Akaba as soon as possible after getting off the train?

Instead, I chose to take the bus alone and go to the agreed location.

This is not in line with his usual steady style of conduct.

No, is there really a so-called "an agreed place"?

The more I thought about it, the more confused I felt in my mind, as if it had turned into a ball of paste.

What I thought was clear was now incomplete, with little to nowhere, like a house full of holes.

It seems that there is no problem anywhere, but in fact there is no problem anywhere.

'roar!'

The evil tiger in his chest roared, clearing Ashiya Ryo's many distractions.

He closed his eyes and opened them again, his expression was clear.

"Are you a fox or a raccoon?"

In Ryo Ashiya's impression, there are only these two types of monsters who can change their minds like this.

At this moment, the other party seemed to be really surprised and raised his eyebrows slightly.

......He can actually wake up in such a short time?

...No wonder Lord Hua You valued it so much.

She smiled slightly, and the foggy things dissipated from her side, revealing her true face.

This is a not-so-tall woman, even a little shorter than the little raccoon, and she can be called a "loli" body.

But there is a small melon-seeded face, with soft facial features and attractive figures, especially the headlights in front of you, which can only be described in an ancient poem-

Look from the horizontal direction and the peaks are formed on the horizontal direction.

Give people a sense of pure and pure desire.

But this is not very attractive to Ashiya Ryo.

After passing the place where "Shu (Meow) Dreams Without Seal", Ryo Ashiya's resistance to beauty has been greatly improved.

The moment I saw this girl, the first thought that Ashiya Ryo had appeared was...

This girl is so cute, she should be able to cry for a long time with a punch, right?

"My name is Huan, and Lord Hua You sent me to Tokyo to pick you up."

Fantasy said with a smile.

'Tokyo......'

Fantasy rhetoric proves Ashiya Ryo's conjecture.

Looking back now, there was always a guy who was hard to notice around the seats along the way.

She didn't meet Ashiya Ryo on Kyushu Island, but she was not far away from him along the way.

Thinking about this clearly, Ashiya Ryo's back felt a little cold.

With his current mental power, he could not even notice the clue.

Combined with her name, the other party should be particularly good at illusion.

"Please don't be angry, we have no malice."

"The reason why I keep hiding my breath is also difficult."

Huan lowered his head slightly to apologize.

"After hunting the little leader of the raccoon cat, the conflict between the raccoon cat and us has intensified again. Once the breath is revealed, it may be noticed by them."

"It's like they recognized a ray of my breath just now and used this guy as a test. After discovering that Ashiya Jun, they quickly evacuated."

"If you recognize Ashiya-kun in Tokyo, you may have a fight on the train. I believe... Ashiya-kun doesn't want to see that kind of situation, right?"

Ryo Ashiya nodded.

But he was still half-believing and half-doubted. He now understood Akaba Yuta's instructions.

At most, the monster can only believe half of what it says.

It is best not to believe a punctuation mark when it comes to Hua Youqi.

But the other party's attitude was so low that even if Ryo Ashiya wanted to have an attack, he would not find any chance.

Perhaps, as the illusion said, they actually... did not have malicious intentions?

"You just said... Hao?"

Ryo Ashiya noticed a name worth paying attention to.

"He killed all the raccoon cats in the abandoned factory in Arakawa District?"
