Anime: Desolate Darkness

Chapter 24 A Simple and Rough Investigation

After handing in the letter of apology, Kimura Takumi exchanged a few brief greetings with the principal and left the school.

Arriving at the door of his home, Kimura Takumi just opened the door and shouted inside: "I'm back."

Because the house was quite large, echoes could be heard from inside.

at the same time.

"Welcome back. Why are you here so soon today?" Ryunosuke's voice came from inside, full of curiosity.

According to past experience, Kimura Takumi would not be home until at least 7 o'clock, but now it was not even o'clock.

"Nothing, I just finished my work and wanted to come back early." Kimura Takumi responded while changing shoes at the entrance.

……

In the living room, Ryunosuke Ichisuke was watching TV. Kimura Takumi, who was passing by, just took a glance and was attracted by the content. He stopped and looked serious.

The news above is reporting:

Tokyo...starts at 21:34 on the evening of April 7th and ends at 12: on the morning of April th.

Following reports from the public, the Shibuya police found 97 bodies with the same cause of death in various locations, including streets, alleys, under bridges, and driveways.

Because the incident was extremely serious and a large police force was involved in the investigation, this is the only information the news media can obtain and release before the truth is revealed.

The TV host speculated that this could be a collective revenge against society by an evil organization, carrying out indiscriminate killings, or it could be a cult performing some horrific ritual.

But these are all wrong.

In fact, the police had already known who the culprit was by investigating surveillance videos, and even saw part of the complete course of the crime.

Surveillance cameras at multiple crime scenes captured an enchanting woman in a white dress, with a black orchid on her chest and a silver-white mark on the left side of her face.

She appears suddenly, floating in front of her victim, or luring her victim toward her.

Then, in a flash of white light, the living human fell to the ground with a thud and turned into a corpse. The corpses all looked ashen, like human wax figures.

This weird truth involves demons and monsters, so the government certainly won't allow it to be made public. The consequences would be too serious, and it would most likely lead to social panic, and everyone would be in fear.

But even without knowing the truth, Kimura Takumi did not agree with what was said in the news.

One night, there were so many victims with the same death. He guessed that this was most likely related to monsters or aliens.

"Are you going out again?"

Seeing Kimura Takumi walking towards the door, Ryunosuke Ichisuke asked in confusion.

"Well, I went to school and forgot to take something." In order not to make the other party worry, Kimura Takumi told a little lie.

"Don't be so careless. Do things more seriously." Ryunosuke joked with a smile, then waved his hand, signaling the other party to hurry over: "Go and come back quickly. You have also seen the news, right? It's so dangerous outside now."

Kimura Takumi nodded and walked towards the door.

"Safe travels."

"I will."

……

According to TV news, the bodies were found in the Shibuya area within the six central wards of Tokyo.

Out of caution, Kimura Takumi plans to go to Shibuya to investigate.

It is better to be safe than sorry. If the cause of those deaths is really aliens or monsters, then if they are not dealt with quickly, they may very likely threaten the people around them.

After all, Tokyo is not far from Chiba. If the other party gets tired of Tokyo one day and runs to Chiba, the consequences will be unimaginable.

As for the investigation method, it is very simple and crude.

……

Dusk has arrived and the dark sky covers the city, as if foreshadowing that everything around will fall into darkness as time passes.

An uninvited guest came to the Metropolitan Police Department, the highest-level agency in Shibuya Ward.

Gulu~!

The senior police officer, whose rank on his shoulder badge was Inspector General, swallowed subconsciously as he looked at Mephisto, who was two heads taller than him.

His body was now shaking uncontrollably, with cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

Shimada glanced around in horror. The police officers who had just been flattering him were now all lying on the ground, their lives or deaths unknown.

“You!…Who are you?!”

He roared with all his might, and even though fear had already taken over his body and mind, his pride as a police chief would not allow him to surrender before a fight.

Shimada secretly reached for the pistol at his waist with his right hand, but Mephisto turned a blind eye and let him do whatever he wanted.

boom!

There was a gunshot.

The bullet flew out of the chamber and headed for Mephisto's forehead, but it dissipated on its own when it was 3 centimeters away!

Shimada was unable to observe the specific situation with his naked eyes, and not knowing the truth, he fired several more shots.

Bang bang bang~!

It was not until his magazine was emptied and he looked at Mephisto, who was still unharmed, that he faced reality.

The other party is not human at all!

From this moment on, Shimada's fear could no longer be hidden. His eyes were wide open, his mouth was slightly open, and his chest rose and fell with his heavy, deep breathing.

As if realizing something, he quickly threw away the gun, as if to distance himself from the other party.

See this.

"Have you had enough fun? Then answer my question."

Kimura Takumi asked coldly.

?

Shimada's horrified look turned into dullness. He couldn't expect that the guy in front of him could actually communicate normally.

"What do you want to ask?! I can tell you anything! Just please don't kill me!" Shimada knelt on the ground and said excitedly.

He thought that the fallen police officers were dead, and was afraid that if he hesitated, the other party would kill him.

In fact, that was not the case. Those people just fainted. Kimura Takumi came here to ask for something and would not take people's lives for no reason.

It’s just that his way of asking for help is a little different from others.

"Don't be nervous. I just want to know the truth about the nearly 100 murders in Shibuya last night."

take it easy?

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

Shimada is going crazy now.

The other person looked like neither human nor ghost. He appeared in the Metropolitan Police Department inexplicably, and then everyone inside fell down except himself. He was not affected at all when he shot himself.

In this situation, the other party still told you not to be nervous?

But no matter how angry he was in his heart, he didn't dare show it on the surface and could only nod frantically.

Then, in order to survive, Shimada told everyone everything he knew.

The actual death toll is as high as 300, but because the murderer does not look like a human being at all, the case has been handed over to the "Monster Force" by the government for handling.

As the highest-ranking police officer in Shibuya, all Shimada needs to do is send people to assist the "Monster Force".

If this was not the case, with so many people having just died in Shibuya, how could he, in his position, have the leisure to listen to his subordinates flattering him in the Metropolitan Police Department?
