Evening, Kubetsu Town.

The area where the cordon was cordoned off has been set up, and the people from the third division of the investigation team have taken over the area and are closely investigating everything at the crime scene.

On the street two streets away from the cordon, a young man wearing slippers walked in front. His face in his thirties was full of traces of alcoholism and staying up late. His clothes were sloppy and his face was full of impatience.

Behind him was an old woman in her fifties, wearing a shabby singlet in the cold wind of late autumn, mumbling something.

"I'm so annoyed! Shut up!!!"

Suddenly, the sloppy young man suddenly turned around and roared with an angry expression like a ferocious beast: "How many times have I told you to take out your pension and help me pay back the money first? Can't you let those who collect debts?"

Are you happy just by forcing your only son to look like a shady mouse? Is there a mother like you in the world?"

The old woman was yelled at for a while and said cautiously, "That pension is the money your father spent in hospital. Mrs. Long, mother must... must make money as soon as possible to help you pay off your gambling debt."

As she said that, she lowered her head and took out an old wallet from her pocket, and took out more than two thousand yen here and there, with a look of guilt and apology on her face.

"Mom is old and has no education. This is the money mom earned from working in a izakaya this week. You can use it first. When the weather gets cold, eat something hot at night. You can't eat cold food all the time because of your bad gastrointestinal condition. Don't go there again.

It’s a casino.”

The young man grabbed the money, counted it in his hands deftly, clapped his hands and stuffed it into his pocket. He sneered and said: "Ha... If you don't give it a try, how can I pay you back? It's all up to you.

Washing dishes in an izakaya? It will take you eight lifetimes to repay the debt! Haven’t you seen how fierce those debt collectors are?"

"I think you just hope that I won't be beaten to death on the street so that you can be relieved as soon as possible!" At the end of his sentence, his tone was full of incompetent and furious resentment!

Bad luck, bad luck!

Forget about bad luck!

My family is still busy and I can't help at all.

Life is so unlucky!

As he turned around and left, he became more and more angry as he thought about it, and kicked over the trash can on the roadside with a bang.

Behind him, the old woman stood there blankly, with a lonely face and opened her mouth to explain something.

But in the face of the reality of having no money,

They all seemed so pale and weak.

But the next second, there seemed to be screams from other pedestrians on the roadside.

I saw the young man walking in front who was full of resentment, and at some point his face suddenly became a little dull.

The sign in front of him was illuminated with a dazzling red light, and he just walked onto the road. A moving truck was speeding towards him on the road behind the corner of the street ramen shop.

The moment she heard the exclamation, the old woman raised her head with difficulty, and her cloudy pupils suddenly lost focus.

"Ryuta!!!"

Bang-!

At the next brake, the screeching sound of the brakes and the sound of the front of the car hitting a heavy object sounded almost simultaneously.

call-!

As if he had escaped from a nightmare, the young man stumbled suddenly and hit the red light pole on the opposite side of the road. Before he could recover, an unknown fire suddenly burst into his heart!

"Which bastard dares to..."

He was about to yell something, but stopped suddenly when he turned his head.

His whole body froze in place as if struck by lightning, his mouth opened involuntarily, and he swallowed two or three mouthfuls of saliva, as if his throat was dry. The exclamations of passers-by around him and the words the moving truck driver said to him after he hurriedly got off all disappeared.

By the ear.

In a pool of blood on the roadside under the setting sun, an old woman with a stooped figure was lying on the ground, her eyes closed tightly, and the gurgling red blood on the back of her neck dyed her gray hair red in an instant.

In a flash, he realized what had just happened - the moment he was hit by the speeding moving truck,

There is a person,

Pushed himself from behind.

"mom..."

He opened his mouth like a fish dying of thirst, but found that he couldn't even shout out the simplest syllable, and his eye circles instantly turned red.

...

Diagonally across the road, among the crowd of onlookers.

"What a pity."

Wearing a gray mask, Snake Ghoguigo watched all this silently, and made a secret inquiry in his heart.

"The Holy Lord should prefer young souls and blood, but at this time, we can no longer pursue perfection. It will be good if it can meet the needs of pregnancy."

Thinking of this, Snake Ghoguigo stared again at the pool of blood on the roadside that was gilded with a dark golden color by the setting sun.

The old and frail woman just now was obviously just an ordinary person, but she was able to burst out with thrilling speed and power in that moment.

Such blood food...

The Holy Lord should also be satisfied, right?

He thought so.

...

Three minutes later...

The blocked intersection in Kurebetsu Town.

The captain of the third division, Sentetsu Nishirin, received the notice, and his expression suddenly darkened.

When he was surveying the scene at the tram intersection, he never thought that even though the tram was out of service, such an accident would happen under their noses two streets away.

"Damn it! These bastards are so arrogant!"

"Are you provoking us?"

"..."

The faces of everyone in the third division were also not good-looking.

Although from the news that came back, it seems that a mother and son had an argument on the road and the son ran away in anger. When he was hit by a car and was pushed away by the mother, the mother was killed.

It sounds like it's just a tragedy caused by a traffic accident, but everyone present is a superpower, so they naturally know that there is definitely something behind this series of coincidences that is not that simple.

At this time, the silent Nishirin Chitetsu was thinking about the same question as Higashinohara.

Planning a fake suicide case.

From the previous two or three incidents a year, now there have been three incidents within three days... These guys seem to be getting more and more anxious, as if they are approaching some kind of goal.

But their purpose...

What exactly is it?

Xilin Qiantetsu couldn't figure it out and felt a little depressed. He always felt that something was about to happen, and it would probably happen under his nose.

But I just can't figure it out at all.

At this time, cumulonimbus clouds that looked like rolling mountains appeared overhead. Occasionally, pale electric pythons passed through the dark clouds, and there was faint thunder in the distant sky.

"What should we do next?" Vice Captain Ogami Yu couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.

After Chitetsu Nishirin pondered for a moment, he looked at the blooming cherry blossoms around the train crossing in Kubetsu Town. They might be about to wither after this autumn rain. He frowned and said:

"The murderers behind the forged suicide cases have placed their location at this intersection for such a long time. Even when they committed crimes again after the intersection was blocked by us, they chose a location not far away...

Do you really think this is a provocation?"

Vice-captain Ogami Yuu was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "If it's not a provocation, it means that this intersection has some special significance to the murderer behind the scenes, but what could it be?"

"I don't know."

Xilin Qiante shook his head, narrowed his eyes and said:

"But judging from the eagerness of the murderer, it may not be long before we know the truth. Today, the entire Third Division is working overtime to guard this intersection."

Having said this, he paused, looked at the media reporters not far away who were watching the flying guns and cannons, frowned and said, "Inform the colleagues in the Search Section 1 to seal off the surrounding area tonight and not allow any pedestrians to approach, especially

They are those reporters who are afraid that the world will not be in chaos."

"It's the captain!"

Ogami Yu responded.

...

Just when the third team was determined to wait and see tonight, the reporters who were originally at the tram intersection had immediately arrived at the scene of the latest "traffic accident" two streets away, and rushed to start reporting.

"Death's scythe falls again! Horrifying car accident outside Death Cross!"

"A young man attempted suicide and his mother died, and the God of Death reappeared after Sakura fell in the town of Kubetsu!"

"Exclusive reveal! The hidden truth behind the continuous traffic accidents."

"..."
