Screenwriter Mystery

Jingle Bell--

late at night.

Kyoto, a research institute on the outskirts.

An abrupt bell suddenly rang in the empty laboratory, and I heard the constant ringing of the phone.

The researcher in front of a giant red thread frowned.

"At this time, who is calling?"

There was a flash of anger in his heart, and the researcher looked away from the strange red thread in front of him with some reluctance.

Mobi was about to answer the ringing phone.

"Dr. Xiaolin!"

Suddenly, from outside the laboratory, a special assault unit came in.

To the puzzled researcher: "From now on, all the research bases will be taken over by the special strike force."

"what?!"

Hearing the fact that the special raid unit had informed, the doctor named Kobayashi immediately showed a confused and complicated expression on his face.

"Why, my research on the red line has just gotten a little slimmer. As long as I continue to study, I can discover the secret of the red line. This will be the result of the era, you can't do this!"

Kobayashi has never been in contact with an existence like the red thread. It is neither some kind of metal nor fiber, but it is extremely hard and even ordinary physical damage cannot cause damage to its surface. Only the burning of flames can affect it. Stop the burning of the flame, and the burned part of the red line will recover again.

It is based on this self-healing property of the red line that Kobayashi can conjecture that he has moved, and that the Kojima Yoshikuma inside is still alive.

"You don't know what a great research result all of this is. The existence of the red line will change the world. This is an unprecedented new substance, a great existence that does not exist and the scientific community in the past..."

In front of the Special Raid Force, Kobayashi showed the dedication that a researcher should have.

However, the special strike force did not give in because of this.

In the rush of the bell, they forced Dr. Kobayashi away from the research base, and at the same time sealed off the site according to the order, not allowing anyone, including Kobayashi, to approach the site.

The purpose of the official blockade of this research institution is naturally not to take over Kobayashi's project and conduct research on the red line.

Instead, he completely blocked this area, completely blocking Kojima Yoshikuma within the red line, including Keiko.

Click!

Close the heavy iron door of the laboratory, and cut off the electricity connected to it.

In the next time, officials will arrange personnel to completely seal the entire laboratory with cement.

With the closing of the iron door and the disappearance of the electricity, the originally bright laboratory fell into darkness.

Jingle Bell--

Even in such an environment, the rushing bell continued to ring, urging the target in the laboratory to answer the phone.

However, this time Keiko-san's goal is not destined to answer the phone.

The huge red thread stayed quietly not far from the phone, motionless.

...

ka-ka, ka-ka-

Late at night, the Shimada house.

In the room, Shimada was lying on the bed.

Thinking of what Endo had told him about the suicide note during the day, Shimada was somewhat uneasy.

He hoped that the monks at Kinkakuji Temple who practiced work at Horikawa High School would surpass the guys in the school, but he felt vaguely that it was impossible.

Just when he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, a strange clicking sound suddenly came from the window.

Hearing this sound, Shimada stopped his turning body, turned his body slightly, and stared in the direction of the window with half-squinted eyes.

He lives in a room but on the second floor.

"Is it a bird?"

A moment of doubt flashed in Shimada's heart amid the constant clicks coming from outside the window.

"But, even if it's a bird, it's too late to act now."

Whoa!

However, just when Shimada was cranky.

The suddenly closed window was opened from the outside, and then in Shimada's pitch-black field of vision, a blurred figure crawled in with difficulty.

"How can this be?!"

Seeing this figure crawling in from the window, Shimada on the bed showed a shocked expression on his face.

Reaching out to cover his mouth, he didn't let the screams in his mouth come out.

Under Shimada's vague gaze, the figure of the window Wei climbed into his room, and then turned around carefully and closed the opened window again.

Turning his head to look at Shimada on the bed, Shimada instinctively closed his eyes the moment he noticed the figure turning back.

Although he couldn't see the figure's movements, Shimada could feel that the other party was staring at him all the time.

"..."

That's it, I don't know how long has passed.

Feeling that the figure was looking away from him, Shimada quietly narrowed his closed eyes into a slit. In the blurred vision, he saw the figure walk to his desk, and then took it out from his arms. A certain envelope-like thing was placed on the table.

"Right now, right away!"

Standing in front of the desk, a faint figure appeared.

When Shimada saw clearly what the figure did, he immediately understood the other party's purpose and how the previous suicide note appeared in his room.

Obviously, the other party came to send the last suicide note.

It seems that the monks at Kinkakuji did not save each other.

With such a thought flashing through his mind, Shimada on the bed stared at the back of the figure.

After the other party gave the last suicide note, he stood motionless in front of the desk.

Just when Shimada wondered what the other party would do next, suddenly the figure moved in the darkness.

Seeing this scene, Shimada closed his eyes subconsciously.

Then, he heard a series of dull footsteps, seemingly constantly approaching the direction of the bed he was lying on.

Feeling the approaching footsteps of the figure, Shimada's mind flashed the conversation between Daytime and Endo, and the palm that was blocked by his body clenched subconsciously.

"Me and Shimada, only one person can survive."

On the bed, Shimada's heartbeat gradually accelerated, and the next second he couldn't help but take action ~www.readwn.com~ the footsteps suddenly disappeared.

This sudden situation caught Shimada on the bed a little off guard, and after trying to control his breathing, he calmed down for a few seconds.

Shimada opened his eyes slightly and looked at the situation in the room.

The figure that originally appeared in the room disappeared without a trace.

He didn't hear the figure opening the window, nor the figure turning the door, but the other party seemed to disappear suddenly with a 'bang'.

Looking at the empty room, a look of doubt flashed across Shimada's face.

However, the next second.

The expression on his face suddenly changed, and he looked at the bed he was lying on.

The last footsteps that just disappeared from the other side were at the side of his bed, which means that if the figure did not leave the room, the only place he would most likely hide would be where he was lying...under the bed!
