Chapter 309 Blockade
Jingle Bell--

late at night.

A research institution in the suburbs of Kyoto.

An abrupt ringing sound suddenly rang in the empty laboratory, and the ringing of the phone was heard continuously.

The researcher in front of a huge ball of red thread frowned.

"At this time, who is calling?"

A hint of anger flashed in his heart, and the researcher looked away from the weird red thread ball in front of him with some reluctance.

Stepping forward to answer the ringing phone.

"Dr. Kobayashi!"

Suddenly, from outside the laboratory, special raiders walked in.

Facing the puzzled researchers, he said: "From now on, everything in the research base will be taken over by the special assault force."

"what?!"

Hearing the facts told by the special assault force, the doctor named Kobayashi immediately showed a confused and complicated expression on his face.

"Why, my research on the red line has just become a little slender. As long as I continue to study, I will be able to discover the secret of the red line. This will be a cross-generational achievement. You can't do this!"

Kobayashi has never been in contact with such an existence as a red thread. It is neither a certain kind of metal nor a 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. However, once Stop the burning of the flame, and the burned part of the red line will recover again.

It is based on this self-healing characteristic of the red thread that Kobayashi can conjecture that it moves itself, and conclude that Yoshikuma Kojima inside is still alive.

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

In front of the special assault force, Kobayashi showed the persistence that a researcher should have.

However, the Special Assault Force did not back down because of this.

With the rapid ringing of the bell, they forcibly took Dr. Kobayashi away from the research base, and at the same time sealed off the site according to the order, and did not allow 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, this area was completely blocked, including 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 coming time, officials will arrange personnel to completely seal the entire laboratory with cement.

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

Jingle Bell--

Even in such an environment, the hasty bell continued to ring, urging the target in the laboratory to get on the phone.

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

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

……

Kaka, Kaka——

Late at night, Shimada's 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 felt somewhat uneasy.

He hoped that the Kinkakuji monks who practiced rituals at Horikawa High School could transcend the guys in the school, but he vaguely felt that it was impossible.

Just as he was tossing and turning, unable to sleep, there was a strange clicking sound 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-closed eyes.

The room he lived in was on the second floor.

"Is it a bird?"

Amidst the clicking sound constantly coming from outside the window, Shimada's heart flashed with doubts.

"However, even if it is a bird, it is too late to be active at this time."

Whoa!

However, just when Shimada was thinking wildly.

The suddenly closed window was opened from the outside, and then Shimada's dark vision saw a vague figure crawling in from the window with difficulty.

"how can that be?!"

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

He covered his mouth with his hand, so as not to let the scream out of his mouth.

Under Shimada's blurred eyes, the figure of the window crawled into his room, and then turned around carefully and closed the open window again.

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

Although, there was no way to see the movement of the figure, but Shimada could feel that the other party was staring at him.

"..."

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

Feeling that the figure looked away from him, Shimada quietly narrowed his eyes that had been closed all the time. In his blurred vision, he saw the figure walk to his desk, and then took out the Something in the shape of an envelope was placed on the table.

"Right away, right away!"

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

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

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

It seems that the monks of the Kinkaku-ji Temple did not transcend each other.

Such a thought flashed in his mind, and Shimada on the bed watched the back of the figure.

After Xiang Xiang wrote his last suicide note, the other party stood motionless in front of the desk like this.

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

Seeing this scene, Shimada closed his eyes subconsciously.

Then, he heard a series of dull footsteps, which seemed to be constantly approaching the direction of the bed he was lying on.

Feeling the approaching footsteps of the figure, the conversation with Endo during the day appeared in Shimada's mind, and the palms blocked by the body subconsciously clenched.

"Shimada and I, only one can survive."

On the bed, Shimada's heartbeat gradually accelerated, and the next second he couldn't help but make a move.

"..."

The footsteps suddenly disappeared.

This sudden situation caught Shimada on the bed a little off guard. He tried his best to control his breathing and calmed down for a few seconds.

Shimada opened his eyes slightly and looked around the room.

The figure that originally appeared in the room had disappeared at some point.

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

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

However, the next second.

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

The last footsteps that the other party disappeared just now were at his bedside, that is to say, if the figure hadn't left the room, then the most likely place for him to hide was only what he was lying on...under the bed!
