Accidental Death

What Toru Amuro thinks is unknown to Ayatsuji pedestrians.

The detective took the address given by Orihara Rinya, and when he arrived in Ikebukuro, he saw the girl who appeared in the photo in a certain drink shop.

Recently, the popular girl idol is wearing a black dress with lace on the fringe. She has pale skin and a red headband on her short black shoulder-length hair. She has a delicate face but is less angry. Any emotion in a person is like a pure glass doll.

"Are you Miss Shengbian Liuli?" Ayatsuji pedestrian asked, and sat down opposite after the girl nodded "Yes".

"I'm Ayatsuji Koichi."

"Well, I heard your name from Orihara Rinya," Sheng Ben Liuli said calmly, but still felt a little cramped.

Ayatsuji pedestrians ordered a cup casually, sent the waiter away, and said: "Excuse me, I was very interested in seeing the doll you made a while ago, so I asked someone to investigate the relevant matter-I hope you don't mind."

"Nothing," Sheng Bian Liuli shook his head, and then hesitated to say, "May I ask, why do I like those monster dolls? I have no experience in making dolls myself, and I just had time at that time... from various aspects According to the above, that is not an excellent work. I heard that Ayatsuji-sensei likes to collect dolls, but I don’t think the ones I made have the value of being collected.”

She finished speaking, her voice getting lower and lower.

"Maybe it's because your works have some kind of 'soul'?" Ayatsuji pedestrian replied after thinking about it.

There is indeed something different about the puppet in that movie, which has nothing to do with technique, but a deeper quality.

"Soul?" Sheng Bian Liuli hesitated.

"Although it's dead, it gives a feeling of 'this is the monster itself,'" explains Ayatsuji.

If the policemen who have worked with Ayatsuji pedestrians see him like this, they will be surprised and don’t know what to say-after all, Ayatsuji pedestrians are not so patient when explaining the reasons and modus operandi of the case to them.

"Is that so?! Is that the monster itself?" Sheng Bian Liuli finally showed a different expression and murmured.

The emotions became extremely subtle after being reflected on her, but the girl's expression did carry a hint of joy.

Ayatsuji pedestrians observed the expression on Shengbian Liuli's face thoughtfully.

The girl herself gave him exactly the same feeling as when he saw the photo.There was a slight sense of incongruity in the silence.

It was as if the person in front of her was just a false shell, and her soul was another completely different face.It made Ayatsuji pedestrians wonder if Orihara Rin was hiding something when he gave him the information.

And it wasn't until the moment just now that "Sheng Bian Liuli" finally became human.

Sheng Bian Liuli was really happy from the bottom of her heart.

The reason is simple - the monster dolls I made are actually called "monsters themselves".The girl who has been obsessed with monsters since she was a child is very excited about such an evaluation.

Such an evaluation is simply the best compliment for her.

It took a while before she looked at Ayatsuji pedestrian again.

When I heard that I heard the name Ayatsuji Xingren from Orihara Rinya, and learned that the other party was a detective, Seibe ​​Ruri did have the idea of ​​​​refusing.

As a serial murderer code-named "Hollywood", she should obviously avoid people like detectives, but she couldn't help but wonder why Ayatsuji pedestrians would propose such a commission.After some struggle, she still decided to come to the appointment.As it turned out, she was glad she didn't say no.

The girl spoke, and the sense of alienation in her tone faded a bit: "If you don't dislike me, I can accept your commission."

Hearing this, the detective with blond hair and ocher eyes showed a smile that was so shallow that it was almost an illusion: "Thank you very much-there is no special requirement for the construction period, and the same for other aspects. You are the main one."

The requirements for this entrustment are not complicated, so there is actually not much to talk about.

When I walked out of the store, it was only half an hour.

The two stood outside the store.

In the afternoon, there are many pedestrians wandering scattered on the streets of Ikebukuro, and they look quite cozy.

Ayatsuji pedestrian glanced at the time on the electronic signboard, turned around and asked, "Miss Shengbian, how did you come here?"

Shengbian Liuli seems to be a very popular idol now, if he takes the tram or just walks back, he might be spotted and surrounded by fans, which will cause a lot of trouble.

"Someone sent me here before, but I'm still waiting here," Sheng Bian Liuli replied.

She pointed to a car in the distance and explained, "It's an actor from the same company as me."

As she was speaking, the door of the car opened.Then, a man with black hair and black eyes and wearing a moon-white shirt came down.

"... Yuhei Hashima?"

Although she doesn't care about things like celebrity TV dramas at all, because of Shengbe Ruri, Ayatsuji pedestrians can still recognize that the person in front of her is Yuhei Yushima, her dating partner who was exposed some time ago.

Agreeing with the expressionless young man, he said politely: "It's the first time we meet, I'm sorry to trouble you about Liuli."

Although he looks very young, he feels quite calm.

"No, I should say thank you," Ayatsuji pedestrian's eyes paused on Shengbian Liuli for two seconds and then moved away, as if nothing happened, "Then see you later."

——A few hours ago, someone uploaded a video on the website. In just half an hour, the video was reposted wildly, and the popularity instantly reached the top.

After clicking on the video, the first thing that appeared was a bunch of disorganized gray and black blocks.

After the mosaic on the screen disappeared, a man wearing a white skull mask and a black robe appeared on the screen.

The whole video is shrouded in a depressive and heavy atmosphere.

After a pause of about two or three seconds, the figure of the man in the center of the screen moved slightly.Then, a weird male voice came through the voice changer.

"I will sentence Genta Inoue, the sinner who took the lives of others, within the next twelve hours. He will experience the same pain as the girl he killed."

"These despicable and ugly criminals, even if the law does not deal with them, I will definitely punish them."

The skull mask was instantly amplified, and the man's voice was eerie: "I have twenty faces... Sinners without repentance, wait for my arrival in fear!"

It was not long before the evening, and the city was a little bit twilight.

The boundaries of the shadows cast by the buildings have been blurred, and neon lights of various colors are lit up in front of the shops on the street corners.When it's time to get off work and school, there are gradually more pedestrians on the road.

The latest news is broadcast on screens embedded in the outer walls of buildings along the street.

[This morning, the suspect suspected of killing a minor was withdrawn by the police due to insufficient suspicion. Currently...]

Occasionally someone stopped by, and after reading the news, they inevitably cursed a few times.

On the outskirts of the central area, in the depths of a quiet and dark alley, a young man who was drunk was staggering forward, his eyes were a little blurred, and he managed to keep himself from falling directly by leaning on the wall.

He can be vaguely seen through the light at the entrance of Manca next to him.

——The face of this person is exactly the same as that of the suspect in the news just now.

The night wind is cool.

Under the influence of excessive alcohol, the drunk man's mind was already in a mess, and he still stumbled forward in the alley.

After he accidentally dropped the wine bottle he was holding on the ground, a man in a black robe and a skull mask stepped out from the deeper shadows.

Like a messenger of death, it silently walked behind the drunk man. The knife holder raised his hand. The cold white blade shone coldly in the dark night, and then drew a sharp arc from top to bottom. He slashed at the unconscious drunk man neatly.

——? !

Almost at the same time, another uninvited guest grabbed the drunk man by the cuff, pulled him aside, and kicked the man holding the knife.

The latter was thrown into disarray by the sudden attack, and he let go of the knife holding the knife under the throbbing pain in his wrist.

The attacker—the boy with the light blond afro head—kicked the knife far away without hesitation, and then pressed the man's right arm, pushing him against the wall.

He was still holding a cup of Coke in his hand, and he just walked out of Manca.Probably students who came here to play during the holidays and just planned to go home.As a result, he suddenly bumped into someone committing murder just as he was leaving the house, and before he had time to think, he shot to save the person.

"Don't move!" Bakugo Katsuki's palm flashed with fire, and he made several deterrent explosion sounds.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard footsteps coming from the alley, and immediately realized that there was another person at the scene.

Bakugo Katsuki looked at the man who appeared at the entrance of the alley.

After seeing the appearance of the person coming, his heart sank suddenly, and after gathering his mind, he said viciously: "Stop! Are you with this guy?!"
