Chapter 21 The Necromancer, Summoning the Puppeteer of Hell



"One, two, three...wait, why are three people missing?"

After counting the number of people, the tour guide, Mr. Akashi, raised this question.

Everyone looked around and quickly realized that the missing people were Oni-shiro Ayumu, Tsuruno Touka, and Kubiki Tomohiro.

After exchanging opinions, the man and woman, who had just showered, both concluded that the three of them had gone back to their room early after showering.

"Let's use the walkie-talkie to call them, since it's almost time for dinner," Mr. Red Bear said.

“Yes, I’m so hungry!” said Yukio Yamori, who is also in a university club.

Miyuki and Mogi both said they needed to use the restroom, but since the restroom next door could only accommodate one person at a time, Mogi stayed behind for the time being.

Seeing that not everyone was present, Tomoe Juro tossed out a message saying, "Time to take your medicine," and hurriedly left.

The wavy-haired senior, Ran Muronoi, said she needed to wash her hands and then left the restaurant.

Mr. Akashi was left behind, still trying to contact the three men via walkie-talkie, and he kept sighing.

"The morale is low, it's hard to lead the team!" Yoruichi Toyama said sarcastically on his behalf, then exchanged a glance with Akechi.

In this abandoned school building, a group of people who don't know each other very well are about to live together for three days and nights. This seems to have all the elements of a locked-room mystery.

Even those who were mentally prepared immediately became vigilant.

"Have you ever wondered why we have to communicate using walkie-talkies?" Yoruichi Toyama asked on the way to the restaurant.

The wise response was to take out his own phone.

The "No Signal" sign in the upper right corner of the screen is very prominent.

"Huh?" Yoruichi Toyama clearly remembered receiving a call from Taro just before arriving on the island.

But when I took out my phone, the Nokia also showed no signal.

He finally understood why, in the original storyline, Moegi could take photos with her phone, but no one thought to call the police directly.

It is estimated that telecommunications base stations were not so widespread at that time, and even if there was a little signal remaining on the island, Gao Yuanyaoyi would have had a way to install jammers in advance.

After the murder occurs, Moegi will destroy the radio station that connects to the dock.

The entire Golden Island, which is very close to the Izu Peninsula, will be transformed into a large, enclosed space.

This is not only for the convenience of the murderer, but also to put psychological pressure on everyone involved.

Therefore, we still need to act as soon as possible...

Before anything happens...

Yoruichi Toyama thought silently.

Seeing Miyuki return, Mogi eagerly asked her for directions and ran out the door, with Mogi following behind.

"Tch! I told you he was just trying to spy!" Just as I stepped out of the restaurant, I heard Kindaichi deliberately speaking loudly over there.

What an innocent child!

Yoruichi Toyama couldn't help but chuckle, her gaze lingering on the retreating figure of Moegi, who had already entered the restroom.

Fortunately, the corridor was empty except for him.

He only had a few short minutes left.

Without hesitation, Yoruichi Toyama ran into the bathroom and cornered Moegi, who was already holding a kitchen knife in her hand.

"you……"

Before Menghuang could say anything, or perhaps because she was afraid of being overheard, her mouth was immediately covered tightly.

Yoruichi Toyama showed no mercy, covering her mouth with one hand and twisting her wrist with the other, swiftly snatching the knife and throwing it on the ground.

Stunned by the surprise attack, Moegi didn't see who it was until it was pinned against the wall. Immediately, angry tears welled up in its round eyes.

Yoruichi Toyama easily restrained her hands, which were still pounding and hitting wildly.

“Miss Moegi,” he said, looking into the girl’s eyes and lowering his voice, “don’t do anything foolish.”

However, Mogi clearly wouldn't listen to any preaching.

The only thing stopping her from making an even bigger commotion at this moment was the voices coming from next door.

According to the floor plan, the toilet is only a short distance away from the restaurant we just visited, while on the other side is an abandoned room that cannot be accessed.

But right there in the room, someone was calling out cautiously.

"Director? I'm here!"

"If it's you, Director, please come out!"

That was the voice of Moegi's senior, Onijo Ayumu.

As for the director...

Of course, it was the middle school dean of students whom Moegi regarded as her parents and benefactors, who also died in the earthquake because Ghost City and others refused to help.

Upon hearing the voice of the ghost town, especially when she called out "Director," Meng Huang's struggle intensified once again.

Tears streamed down her face, but she didn't care and continued to struggle to break free from Yoruichi Toyama's control.

That's certainly impossible.

All she managed to do was make Yoruichi Toyama's hand, which was covering her mouth, touch her tears and slip slightly.

In that tiny, barely sliver of space, Menghuang opened its mouth and bit down hard on a finger that was right next to its mouth.

Yoruichi Toyama hissed as he gasped for breath.

He wasn't worried that Meng Huang would escape, since she was still unable to move her hands and body.

But the girl's sharp canine teeth had already pierced his middle finger, and he could almost hear a crunching sound at the knuckles.

Ghost City called "Director" a few more times from the next room, and when he received no response, he cursed under his breath.

“Ms. Mogi,” Yoruichi Toyama whispered again, “think about your director.”

"If the director were here, would he allow you to kill someone?"

"Don't let the director down!"
