The lights in the carriage flickered, and the scene outside the carriage became increasingly eerie.

Everyone looked at the reporter.

The reporter felt like a thorn in his side. He scratched the back of his hands and neck uncomfortably: "I..."

The scales on the roof jingled, as if a cat was urging them on.

It was telling everyone that it was running out of patience.

Odasaku took two steps forward. Now that he was involved, it would be difficult to get out of this unscathed.

He took the initiative to ask the reporter: "Kiyoshi Moriya, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, is also Setsuko Ichikawa's boss, right?"

"It's me, I..." The reporter still hesitated.

The lights in the carriage flickered even more violently, and the cat was about to take revenge.

〖I won’t forgive you…I absolutely won’t forgive you…〗

The voice was full of resentment and sadness between the lines.

"Eyes! I can't see!" The child's face turned gray and his eyes looked like they were parasitized by mycelium.

"No...no!" The lights dimmed and brightened, and the child's voice stopped abruptly.

The place where the child had been was empty, without any trace of his existence.

Jingle Bell.

A bicycle bell rang outside the carriage, and the child who had just disappeared was standing outside pushing his bicycle.

He pulled up the corners of his mouth stiffly, and his eyeballs were almost bulging out of their sockets.

He stared at the remaining people in the carriage and seemed to be saying something.

Look carefully, don't close your eyes, keep looking, keep looking...

"Yue...uh..." Nomoto Chiyo raised her head, her face purple and blue, as if something was about to come out of her mouth.

Black liquid oozed from the corners of her mouth.

If you talk too much, cut off the root of your tongue.

The middle-aged woman pulled her ears hard, and a crack appeared at the base of her ear. Blood dripped along her jawline.

She kept repeating absentmindedly: "I can't hear it... I can't hear it..."

Pretend to be deaf and dumb and destroy their ears.

Kunikida looked at the woman holding the cat and begged, "Ms. Ichikawa, please calm down."

For the first time, he felt so helpless, watching life disappear before his eyes, but he couldn't even stop it.

Now he can only hope that Setsuko Ichikawa still has a little bit of rationality. As a reporter, isn't she pursuing fairness and justice?

"The criminals will be punished accordingly, but their crimes do not deserve the death penalty. You are a victim, so you don't need to add to the sins of murder."

Dazai frowned slightly. To be honest, it was not wise to speak rashly at this moment.

The three of them were not deeply involved in this case; at most they were witnesses to the truth.

No matter how extreme Setsuko Ichikawa's revenge was, now that she was a monster, she could not be persuaded by human reasoning.

Kunikida is too impulsive, and his obsession with justice will eventually get him killed.

The woman holding the cat slowly raised her head and looked towards Kunikida. There was not a trace of human emotion in her strange vertical pupils.

She grinned, revealing two rows of sharp teeth: "I won't spare... you..."

The driver's body began to twist, as if being repeatedly crushed by wheels.

For a moment, his screams echoed throughout the carriage.

The lights dimmed again, and the surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet.

Oops, he seemed to have angered Setsuko Ichikawa. Kunikida held his breath and was on high alert.

〖Mercy...meow!〗

The woman's voice turned into a terrifying cat's meow.

"Kunikida is behind us!" Odasaku reminded hurriedly.

The fierce attack of the transformed cat even caused a gust of wind, and Kunikida reacted quickly and dodged to the side.

In the darkness, the sound of the carriage floor being torn could be clearly heard.

But the carriage is only this big, how many times can Kunikida hide?

Cats are strange creatures that hold grudges and take their anger out on others.

It couldn't attack Kunikida, so it attacked Odasaku.

Odasaku dodged it, and it went to attack Dazai.

The indiscriminate attacks of the transformed cat put Odasaku in a difficult position. It was difficult to give warnings, and there was no place to hide. He could only rely on himself.

"Bang!" Someone was knocked flying.

A faint smell of blood spread in the carriage.

"Hiss." Dazai took a breath and pretended to be relaxed and begged for mercy: "Ms. Ichikawa, you hit the wrong person, I didn't say anything."

However, the only response to Dazai was an even sharper meow.

"Dazai!" Odasaku wanted to go over to help anxiously, but the cat-transformed attack did not let him go.

“Oh no, oh no.” Dazai rolled to the side to avoid the attack that was about to come: “An innocent person is going to die, Mr. Medicine Seller, help~”

The medicine seller sighed helplessly and finally took action.

"Back off!" He threw the talisman at the angry cat, temporarily repelling it.

The lights in the car came on again, but Chiyo Nomoto, the middle-aged woman and the driver also disappeared.

"Dazai, are you okay?" Kunikida and Odasaku ran to Dazai together.

Dazai raised his scratched right arm. The blood stained his sleeves, making his fingers look even paler.

"Well, I'm not going to die. Luckily the medicine seller came to my rescue in time."

Kunikida felt very guilty: "Sorry, it's my fault."

It was clearly he who spoke and angered Setsuko Ichikawa, but it ended up causing Dazai to get injured.

Odasaku wanted to bandage Dazai's wound, but he had no bandages or medicine.

He thought of the medicine seller's box, but before he could say anything, the medicine seller told him directly: "There is medicine for injuries, but he can't use it. Just bear with it and it will pass."

"At least let me simply bandage him and stop the bleeding." Odasaku didn't think that the wound would heal if he just endured it.

The medicine seller ignored them and walked straight to the reporter hiding under the chair: "Now, why don't you tell me?"

The reporter covered his ears and closed his eyes tightly, so frightened that he could not receive any signals from the outside world.

Odasaku and Kunikida watched Dazai's face grow paler and paler, and they were almost tempted to rob the medicine seller's box.

Haruka glanced over there and happened to meet Dazai's eyes.

“…” After a moment, she retracted her gaze and stood up.

The reporter was still trying to escape reality when he was suddenly kicked over.

"You say it, or you go die and I'll say it." Qinghe very kindly gave him the opportunity to choose.

"As long as I tell it, I can be saved, right? You will definitely save me, right?" The reporter still wanted to bargain.

Qinghe raised his foot again and pretended to kick him.

The reporter quickly begged for mercy: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

Only when he saw Qinghe put his legs down did he breathe a sigh of relief, then got up and straightened his posture.

"Ichikawa is my capable subordinate. Although she is a woman, she is no less capable than a man at work."

The reporter scratched his hands and then his face: "During that time, she was always worried about her work and said she wanted to find some good material."

"She has always been a girl who is brave enough to move forward and is not afraid of difficulties. I believe she will be able to adjust her mentality soon, so let her rest for a few days first."

"But she seemed to have misunderstood what I meant and had a big fight with me."

"Then one day, she came to me and said that she was investigating something serious and that she had obtained decisive evidence."

The reporter scratched his neck, feeling like something was wrong with him.

After alleviating some of the itch, he continued, "But I was busy that day, so I asked her to leave first and we can talk more about it later."

"But within a few days, the news of her death reached the newspapers."

"I knew she was investigating something, but I was still worried at the time."

The reporter seemed to have finally made up his mind: "Ichikawa was murdered."

"She had been investigating the subway during that time."

"The subway project is not clean, from the bidding process to the construction company. The mayor is definitely involved."

"I advised her not to fight against the powerful, but she still insisted, which is why she was killed by the mayor."

The reporter seemed to have spoken out what was weighing on his mind, and he felt much more relaxed: "I was a coward once, and I can't be a coward a second time."

"So I got a test ride spot, hoping to get close to the mayor and find evidence to avenge Ichikawa."

"But I didn't expect that Ichikawa's resentment would turn her into a monster..."

The reporter covered his face, unable to face the fact: "I am sorry for her."

〖Meow--〗

A woman holding a cat appeared in the seat opposite the reporter.

She has short, neat hair and is wearing a white business suit.

The orange cat rolled over in her arms, and then she smiled.

The reporter was visibly relieved, and he assured her, "Ichikawa, I will definitely reveal the truth and avenge you!"

The woman's face was still the same as before she was alive. She called softly: "Mr. Moriya..."

Journalists are just people who play with words.

Even an ordinary story can be brought to life in their hands.

They reveal the truth, uphold justice, plead for the people, manipulate public opinion, fabricate nonsense, and confuse right and wrong!
