Chapter 68 Something is wrong
Nakagami Kota's expression turned strange.
The anger of being fooled, the embarrassment of being sentimental, the incomprehension and speechlessness about Mei Jingxue's emotions, and the shock just now, all kinds of emotions surged up at once. He took two steps forward, and without thinking, he slapped Mei Jingxue!
Mei Jingxue's pupils dilated slightly, but before she could react, with a "bang", the man who rushed up was knocked to the ground, revealing the dark figure behind him.
"Who are you?" Mei Jingxue's heart was pounding.
"It's not time yet, take him back." The emotionless cold tone was like the chill that permeates everywhere in winter.
"..." Mei Jingxue's mind was in a mess, but she responded, "I understand."
Umei Xue bent down and helped Nakagami Akita up. Then, she got into position, pretending to help a drunk guest, opened the door, and helped him in.
She looked thin and frail, but every step she took, holding on to the man's, was steady.
As she was about to enter the light, Mei Jingxue heard a calm voice behind her: "I've been watching you."
She paused for a moment before walking in.
The door blocked out the wind, but it didn't block out the cold air.
…
"The third move is to think carefully and find the answer is terrifying."
[Ghost progress: 40%]
He is full of grudges, appears and disappears mysteriously, and is extremely terrifying when you think about it carefully.
It is not difficult to create a "ghost" by just emphasizing and deepening these three points.
Now, there is only one person left.
Then... connect the three points into a line.
Miyagawa Ling ate the last snack on the table, then wiped his mouth gracefully and stood up.
In those black eyes was the calmness and confidence that everything was under control.
Perhaps it was because the color of his eyes had changed. The warmth that was originally brought by the light gold had now faded. When those eyes were not looking at anyone, they were always calm and deep, as if silently shrouding the entire night of heaven and earth.
…
Jin Jiuren checked the time, then put down his glass, smiled and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Everyone at the table was his subordinate, so naturally they all smiled and said yes.
When Tsukuhito stood up, the strange boy at the opposite table also stood up.
He walked forward and the boy followed behind him.
Since this was a blind spot and he could only go in one direction to get out, Tsukuhito didn't care.
He walked a little unsteadily, his face flushed from the strong liquor, and he shook his head from time to time, squinting his eyes to look ahead.
"Be careful!"
After bumping into someone, he was stunned for several seconds before he said dazedly, "No, sorry!"
"Really? He's so drunk and there's no one to support him..." Someone complained and called the waiter.
A waiter came over and wanted to help Tsu Hisahito, but was refused.
"I'm not drunk! You must be new here... I've worked in this store before, but I've never seen you before!" Jin Jiuren rubbed his head and said, "Where's Xiaoxue? Where did Xiaoxue go?"
The waiter was a little surprised, and then, as if he knew that Tsukuhito had worked here before, he said politely: "Umei-senpai is busy..."
"Then I'll walk by myself!" said the drunkard, "I'd rather walk by myself than have you help me!"
Waiter: “You are drunk…”
Tsu Hisahito had already walked far away. Although his steps were still shaky, they were steady.
The waiter looked at it for a while and then ignored it.
And Tsu Hisahito slowly approached the middle of the hall. The back kitchen, east area, bathroom, and front door could all be accessed from here.
"Where is it..." He looked for a while, then hobbled and walked towards the East District.
Two minutes later.
“Bang!”
All the lights in the hall suddenly went out!
In the darkness, Tsukuhito's shaky steps became steady, and he quickly approached Nakagami Kota's position.
Just now, he had seen clearly that Nakagami Kota was sitting in his seat with his head down. It seemed that he had drunk too much and was a little bit unconscious now.
Kill him!
Take advantage of this planned power outage!
Nakagami Akita, this bastard, actually didn't agree with his sister marrying him because of his selfishness, which led to her committing suicide!
Tsukuhito's eyes were filled with bloodshot and his face was ferocious. In this darkness and noise, he showed his murderous intent without reservation.
He has been planning for this for too long!
Deliberately told Takajo Chika that Nakagami Kota secretly complained to the store manager and said bad things about her.
He deliberately treated Takajo Chika and Umei Yuki differently to further anger her and force her to lose control.
As long as he kills Nakagami Kota tonight, he will be able to frame Chikako Takajo!
Go to hell——
“Bang!”
All the lights in the hall suddenly lit up again.
Tsukuhito, who had just walked to Nakagami Kota's position: "..."
Before he could hide his malicious expression, disbelief appeared in his eyes!
What's going on? Why did the call come so soon?
He had clearly designed the timing well. The damaged circuit couldn't be started up so quickly even if it was a backup power supply!
But the reality did not allow Jin Jiuren to think too much. He pretended to be drunk and returned the same way while Nakagami Kota and the people around him had not noticed him.
Before he took two steps, he was met with a pair of dark eyes.
It's that strange boy!
The young man was standing not far away. Unlike those who were complaining, puzzled, and doubtful, there was no expression on his face, as if he had known that there would be a power outage.
The man stared at Jin Jiuren motionlessly.
...something is wrong.
How long has he been following me? !
How much did he see?!
Tsu Hisahito suddenly felt a cold sweat on his back, and the feeling that something had gone off track was particularly strong.
He pretended nothing had happened and continued walking forward.
"I'm sorry everyone, I should have jumped the gate just now..." Mei Jingxue walked out and apologized with a smile.
Behind her, a few meters away, stood Takajo Chika.
When Jin Jiuren saw these two people, he felt even more angry. If he had succeeded just now, his blaming plan would definitely work!
But it’s meaningless to say all this now.
Tsu Hisahito didn't want the two men to recognize him, so he lowered his head slightly and walked over quickly.
The strange boy still stood there, watching him approach.
At the moment when they passed by, Tsukuhito heard Umei Yuki talking to the boy: "Sekizawa-san..."
Her tone was a little strange, but her doubt was real. She asked, "Why are you... here?"
Obviously... she noticed that the door on the terrace had not been opened again...
Even if there was a power outage, it would be impossible to get to this location in just a few seconds!
Tsukuhito walked away without hearing any reply, but Umei Yuki's strange tone, which was so trembling that it made him hesitate and look back.
——Just like under the daylight, a boy in school uniform opens and closes his lips, saying something, but no one can hear it.
There was nothing special about this scene.
When Kazuhito looked again, he saw Umei Yuki next to him, holding the menu tightly in her hands, with a tense posture, as if facing a powerful enemy.
At this moment, a detail that he had just seen flashed through Tsukuhito's mind.
He immediately turned his head and looked at Takajo Chikako.
Sure enough, the tall woman, who had been humiliated by him before, didn't pay any attention to herself at this moment.
She was just like before, her face was pale, her pupils trembling, and she stared at the young man as if she was looking at the most terrifying thing she had ever seen in her life.
This action... seems to have lasted for about a minute.
【“Zagan was involved in a terrible car accident three years ago.”
"The people involved in the accident are a family of three. One of the children is a freshman in high school. His last name is Guan Ze."】

[Ghost progress: 50%]

Jin Jiuren suddenly felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet to his head.
Coincidence...
Misunderstood!
Yes, something must be wrong!
He is really good at imagining things. He actually came up with the idea that the deceased "Guan Ze" was this young man!
Maybe what the boy said before was a lie!
Tsukuhito comforted himself, and then walked to Takajo Chika in sync with his hands and feet, "Takajo... do you know the high school student who is talking to Koyuki?"
Takajo Chika shifted her gaze to him, but it seemed that only her body was looking at him. She was just making the action of "looking", but in fact her soul had not returned.
Tsukuhito was so annoyed by her condition: "Takajo?!"
"Wait a moment." Takajo Chikako suddenly walked forward.
"?" Tsukuhito turned around.
But Takajo Chika ran up to the two people who were talking and said, "Xiaoxue, come to the back and help!!!"
He pulled Mei Jingxue up and ran back here with big strides, as if he was running for his life, with a blank expression.
Behind him, the young man who had lost his conversation partner cast his eyes dimly on Tsukuhito's face.
"!" Tsukuhito.
The two waiters were like a gust of wind, blowing past Tsukuhito. Tsukuhito no longer cared about his image and turned around to join the running team.
"What are they doing?"
The customers nearby looked at them in silence, while some were amused.
…
"It's over." Miyakawa Ling walked out of the hotel.
"You are so confident, Komiyagawa." Hagiwara Kenji said with a smile, "You go first, I will keep an eye on the situation here."
"Vermode has left, and I have already destroyed the surveillance, so there is nothing to pay attention to." Miyakawa Ling pushed open the door and said casually.
"That's not necessarily true." Hagiwara Kenji said, "This is the first time I've seen someone like Nakagami Kota who can attract hatred."
In one night, three people wanted to kill him!
Drive one away and another one comes! Drive one away and another one comes!
Kenji Hagiwara seriously suspected that a fourth person might show up and kill Nakagami Kota!
"I've observed carefully and asked the police to help investigate. The protagonists tonight should be only these four."
Miyagawa Ryo said: "Once this is over, I will have the police arrest Nakagami Akita. There are still many things about him that are worth investigating."
As he spoke, he put on his hat and blended into the crowd.
On the other side, Kenji Hagiwara was thinking, "should"?
Komiyagawa walked away with such confidence. How could it be a "should"? To him, this was a "certainty"!
I was only halfway through the progress of [Ghost in the Heart], but I just left like this...
Normal people would think “just in case”, right? !
He just left as soon as he said he would.
It's really... quite scary.
"Fortunately, Komiyagawa is not really a member of the organization." Kenji Hagiwara sighed.
…
The three of them ran to the storage room at the back of the hotel.
Mei Jingxue's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and then she looked at Jin Jiuren: "Mr. Jin Jiu? What can I do for you?"
Like Nakagami Akita, he is also someone that Umei Yuki dislikes.
In other words, Umei Yuki dislikes anyone who looks at Takajo Chikako differently.
Jin Jiuren didn't care about that at the moment. He locked the door and asked anxiously under Mei Jingxue's vigilant gaze: "Xiaoxue, do you know that high school student? What's his situation?"
When Umei Xuejie heard Tsu Hisahito ask Sekizawa Kazuki, his vigilance turned into fear.
That's not for Tsu Hisahito, but for Sekisawa Kazuki.
She thought again of what had just happened on the terrace.
Takajo Chikako was the same, her expression was stiff and she felt a chill on her back.
