The police left quickly. They took the body away and notified the victim's family, and also looked for clues to arrest the murderer.

After the police left, Hinata Hajime walked onto the bridge in front and looked around carefully.

"Mr. Hinata?" Sawada Tsunayoshi walked over carefully, "What are you looking for?"

"Clues." Hinata Hajime said, "She fell from this bridge. I wonder if I can find out where the murderer left from some traces."

There was loose sand under the riverbed. After the lady died, a small pit was left with blood. If she had simply fallen, the depression would not be so deep. So there was no doubt that she fell from a great height. And where did that camellia come from?

Hinata Sou looked around, and finally he looked at a person who was painting opposite him. The person seemed to be looking in this direction, and when Hinata Sou looked over, they looked into each other's eyes.

The man seemed startled for a moment, then lowered his head and slowly continued painting his picture.

Hinata Hajime walked over and Sawada Tsunayoshi did not disturb him but just followed him.

"Hello." Hinata Hajime said, "Can you draw a picture for me?"

The young man looked at Hinata Hajime. After a moment, he raised his eyebrows subtly, "Ten thousand yen."

"It's so expensive!" Sawada Tsunayoshi was surprised. "Does it cost so much?"

"Of course it's not too expensive to paint a picture, but you want more than just a picture." The man continued to apply the paint in his hand, "One piece of money, do you want it or not?"

Hinata Hajime took out 10,000 yen from his wallet and said, "No problem."

Sawada Tsunayoshi was somewhat surprised by Hinata Hajime's generosity, "Mr. Hinata, is this really possible?"

"Is there anything wrong with that?" Hinata Hajime was a little confused. "Things that can be solved with money are not a problem at all."

Sawada Tsunayoshi: …

I don't know what to say at all.

After receiving the money, the painter coughed and said, "The woman just now was standing on the bridge alone. She fell down by herself. I am sure she was the only one there. However, there was another woman on the other side of the road from that woman. Moreover, it seemed that the woman who fell down was very afraid of her."

Hinata Sou nodded. "Across the street? Do you remember what she looks like?"

"Sorry, it's too far away. I can only see the general features," the man said as he finished painting. He took the drawing paper off the easel and handed it to Hinata Hajime, "Your painting."

Sawada Tsunayoshi went over to take a look, and was surprised to find that the person drawn on the paper was not Hinata Hajime, but a woman standing across the street. The woman was wearing a red dress and had a blurry flower pinned in her black hair. Her face was not drawn, and everything around her looked chaotic.

The next moment, Sawada Tsunayoshi realized that the painting was not of Hinata Hajime, but of the woman standing opposite him.

"Be thankful that I can draw. This deal is worth 10,000 yen, right?" The young man stretched his back vigorously and put away his drawing board. "Goodbye then."

Looking at the painting, Hinata Hajime frowned slightly.

Although I couldn't see the face of the woman here clearly, she was very similar to the person I had seen next to the camellia, both in terms of features and other aspects.

[There are too many camellia elements.] Hinata frowned, [Could this be the embodiment of the despair fragment this time?]

[Killing people with camellia, how do you think you should use this thing to kill people. 】

Hinata Hajime frowned slightly. He remembered the big hole on the lady's neck before she died, and the camellia that fell after her death. He put his hand in his pocket, and the next moment he took out the blood-stained camellia. The flower was still gorgeous. At this moment, he saw a tiny black shell on the stem of the flower.

Suddenly, everything connected.

"Mr. Hinata, what is this?" Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at the small black shell, "It's so small."

"This is the protective shell left behind after the seed germinates."

"Seeds?" Sawada Tsunayoshi was stunned.

Yes, seeds.

The unknown desperate man threw the seeds across a path into the lady's neck. The seeds took root in her body and slowly drilled out of her neck, leaving a terrible bloody hole, and finally a gorgeous flower bloomed when she died.

A seed can cause a person to die in pain without anyone noticing. Hinata stood up and he must find this woman and Grandma Kawada as soon as possible.

Why did Grandma Kawada disappear at this time instead of earlier or later? And after she disappeared, this man who was suspected to be the Desperate Warrior started killing people. There must be a connection between them. It can even be said that the reason why Grandma Kawada disappeared was most likely related to this woman in red.

"Long black hair, red skirt, about 25 years old, with camellia as her signature." Hinata Hajime said.

Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at Hinata Hajime and said, "If we find her, we can find Grandma Kawada, right?"

"Yes." Hinata Hajime said, "She is most likely based on the deceased daughter of Grandma Kawada, and she is a flower arranger."

Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded, "Okay, I understand."

After saying that, Tsunayoshi Sawada ran out, contacting Jigokudera and the others while running. After telling them what happened, the boys who skipped classes quickly changed their target, looking for a 25-year-old woman in red who could arrange flowers, with the characteristic being camellia. When Tsunayoshi Sawada left, he saw Reborn signaling to him on the tree, and then followed Tsunayoshi Sawada away.

This also means that he doesn't need to worry about Sawada Tsunayoshi's safety for the time being.

According to his analytical ability, Hinata Hajime ran forward. He seldom used his analytical ability. Compared to this world with countless futures stuffed into his mind and no possibilities at all, Hinata Hajime preferred to make choices based on his own heart and judgment. However, he did not have time to care about this now.

She must be found before that thing kills a third person.

Following the clues found by analytical ability, Hinata Hajime suddenly realized something was wrong. This route...

If we follow the direction Rambo left before, the persistence and willfulness of a five-year-old naughty boy, including his pace, seemed to overlap with this route at the street ahead.

【Rambo? Why?】Hinata frowned.

【Because you fell into a misunderstanding. 】

Hinata Hajime was stunned for a moment.

【Misunderstanding?】

Kamuzura Izuru said calmly, "For Nagito Komaeda, he doesn't need to know who the despairing people are. To him, all the despairing people are things to be destroyed. But Hinata Hajime, for you, the despairing people are not just bad people. You need to understand why the despairing people are despairing, and therefore how this despairing wish will be twisted into. 】

[The Despair Fragment will not help the despairing person realize their wish, it will only make the despairing person more despairing.]

Hinata Hajime's pupils suddenly shrank as he suddenly thought of a possibility.

If the Despair Star is really Grandma Kawada, then her despair may be due to being too lonely. She has no family to accompany her, and in the end she can only plant a camellia to remember her little daughter. After being chosen by the Despair Fragment, her only wish is to see her family again.

So her wish came true, and the fragments of despair formed her daughter to accompany her through her lonely days.

However, fragments of despair only intensify despair, it only makes the old man more desperate.

It is unknown since when the old woman stopped going out. Except for going out to buy groceries for three meals a day, she could only stay at home, accompanying this devil who was not her daughter. This devil was full of possessiveness and used her young daughter's appearance to constantly ask the old woman to accompany her.

She was born for the old man, and the old man must spend the rest of his life with her.

The one who broke all this was Rambo.

The devil does not allow others to contact the old lady. She was born from Grandma Kawada's wish and has only twisted thoughts. She will kill anyone who tries to approach Grandma Kawada.

Therefore, Grandma Kawada left home in order to protect Rambo and was prepared to have no contact with Rambo from then on.

She is protecting Rambo from getting hurt.

Damn!

Hinata Hajime moved quickly, and soon he heard a series of explosions and Rambo's crying.

There was no time to take a detour, so Hinata Hajime climbed up the wall directly, stepped onto the roof and jumped down. The moment he fell, a bullet grazed his hair. Hinata Hajime's eyes widened. Opposite him, Rambo was strangled by the neck and pressed against the wall. He was crying, and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground. It seemed that he had been completely subdued.

As if she heard the voice from here, the woman turned her neck and looked at Hinata Hajime.

She looked exactly like the little girl Camellia in the old man's portrait.

A tiny seed floated in the air, and it seemed that it was about to drill into Rambo's throat. Hinata Hajime rushed forward, and Yamcha stared at him. The seed flew directly in front of Hinata Hajime. His eyes turned red, and he turned sideways to avoid the two tiny seeds, and then smashed Yamcha's arm hard with the wooden stick in his hand.

Camellia let out a scream. She couldn't catch Rambo, so Rambo fell straight down. Kamukura Izuru caught Rambo and they faced each other in the narrow alley.

"Who are you?" Shancha stared at Kamuzuru Izuru, "Why are you bothering me?"

"I just want to be with my mom forever."

"We love each other so much, she should love me forever, instead of looking at the outsiders." The blood on Shancha's hand dripped from her fingers, and she looked like an ordinary person. "Why stop me? I didn't do anything wrong."

[The Despair Fragment can actually turn into a human?] Hinata Hajime's voice was filled with surprise, [Although I had guessed before, how did they do it? No, that's not right, the Despair Fragment did show some tendencies, but it's really too strange to turn into a human directly through a person's wish!]

[It’s not surprising that both despair and hope can shape the future, just in opposite directions.]

Kamizuru Izuru glanced at Rambo in his arms. The five-year-old boy was already scared silly. He huddled in Kamizuru Izuru's arms, trembling, without saying a word, but his eyes were always on the woman.

"There is no need to talk to the Fragment of Despair, because even if it turns into a human, it will not have the extra ability to think, let alone make any changes." Kamukura Izuru looked at the woman in front of him, "Besides, it is just wearing a human shell."

"What did you say?" Shancha stared at Shenzuo Chuliu fiercely, "Yes, it's all you!"

"It's because of your mother that she no longer loves me! It's you who stole my mother away!"

Yamcha made a sharp sound, and the blood on her arm dripped down, turning into a seed when it fell to the ground. Under Yamcha's malicious gaze, Kamijou Izuru considered the possibility of shattering this piece of despair.

Of course, the Despair Fragment cannot be destroyed. It is just a kind of energy, and it will condense into this shape in a short period of time.

What a hassle.

"Are you sure that your mother will love you if you do this? Don't fool yourself. The more you do this, the further your mother will distance herself from you." Kamukura Izuru said in a very cold voice, "But this is also your purpose, to make your mother hate you even more."

Shancha made a sharp, irritated sound.

Hinata Hajime looked at the increasingly angry Yamcha and said, "I feel like you're not the type to talk so much."

[Use your analytical skills to analyze what I am doing. ]

[Hmm...] Hinata Hajime sneered, [You're just stalling for time.]

Just when Shancha was about to jump over, an old voice rang out, "Shancha, what are you doing?!"

Shancha was stunned for a moment. She turned her head, and the moment she saw the old man, she took a step back. Her eyes were red and she looked like she was about to cry. Finally, she gave Kamijou Izuru a malicious look, then quickly rushed out and disappeared.

Then, Sawada Tsunayoshi and others came running over from behind.

They were the ones who found Grandma Kawada and brought her to the location Kamukura Izuru had assigned to them in advance.

"Grandma!" Rambo saw Grandma Kawada in Kamizuru Izuru's arms. He broke free from Kamizuru Izuru's arms and ran to Grandma Kawada's side. "Lord Rambo finally found you."

Grandma Kawada looked at Rambo, whose face was still covered with tears. She smiled, but she looked even older. She squatted down and wiped the tears from Rambo's face. "I'm sorry, Rambo."

"Huh? Why did grandma apologize to Rambo?"

"Because grandma did something wrong."

"It's okay!" Rambo hugged Grandma Kawada with the willfulness and innocence of a child, "Lord Rambo forgives Grandma!"

At that moment, Kamijou Izuru, Sawada Tsunayoshi and others saw Grandma Kawada crying. She hugged the ignorant Rambo, tears streaming down her wrinkled face.

…

Kawada Mio is already very old. In two years she will be seventy years old. Her husband and children have also been dead for ten years. The old woman wonders: What is the point of staying in this world?

The old woman couldn't find a reason to live, nor did she know what she could do if she was alive, so she went to the seaside for the first time, watched the seagulls flying, and spent some money to feed them. There were couples in love there, which was out of tune with her.

So lonely.

She sat quietly on the bench, watching the surging sea water, and even had the urge to jump in.

Finally she left and returned to the home where she had lived for so long. She wiped the portraits of her husband and children again, and then sat at the table in a daze.

If only my daughter were still here.

Her daughter was a caring girl who was very well-behaved since childhood. Everyone loved being with her. When she grew up, she became a flower arranger. She was smart and skillful, and everyone liked her. But such a wonderful girl died like that.

Grandma Kawada held her daughter's portrait and thought: I really want to see my daughter again.

But what Grandma Kawada didn't expect was that when she got up on the third day, she would see her daughter standing there next to the camellia memorial garden, smiling at her gently.

The daughter was still the daughter in her memory, acting coquettishly to her, and her mother and mother were endless every day. Grandma Kawada just thought it was an illusion that she was too lonely because of her age, so she felt at ease and lived in harmony with her daughter at home.

Until that day...

When Grandma Kawada went to the market to buy vegetables, she met a childhood classmate. Because they talked about their similarly sad old age lives, she accidentally came home late. Shancha asked her why she came back just now, saying that she had been waiting for her mother to come home at home and she felt so lonely.

Grandma Kawada comforted Shancha and told her about her classmate's recent situation, expressing her desire to help each other.

As a result, on the third day, she heard that the classmate had been in a car accident and was recuperating in the hospital.

At first, Grandma Kawada thought it was just a coincidence, but as the same thing happened again and again, she finally realized that it was all done by her imaginary daughter, Camellia.

She was jealous of those who could talk to Grandma Kawada, and just wanted to monopolize her mother, so she kept hurting them in various ways.

After failing to communicate with Shancha, Grandma Kawada finally chose the simplest solution, which was to stop contacting outsiders and only stay with Shancha except going out to buy groceries every day. In this way, Shancha would not hurt anyone.

Although this made Grandma Kawada feel more and more lonely, she sat at home looking at the camellia flowers wet by the rain, unable to take her eyes off them for a long time.

"It was Rambo that made me want to leave him." Grandma Kawada looked at Rambo, her voice soft and gentle, "What a lively child. He wasn't scared when he accidentally fell into my yard for the first time. He even asked me what the flowers in the yard were. He was so lively."

It was totally different from her decadent life.

This is a child, a child with an infinite future and infinite innocence.

Grandma Kawada suddenly felt that maybe she could still change and do what she wanted once again.

She is so old, it would be worth it even if she died.

"Grandma." Rambo murmured in his sleep.

Grandma Kawada smiled and said, "I have actually thought about this a lot. Although I am so old and haven't been out for a long time, I planned many big things when I was young. So, I want to leave. If I can't leave, I will move to another place and tell her that I want to live with her in a place where no one is."

"But I really couldn't bear to let Rambo set his sights on this child."

So Grandma Kawada immediately implemented the plan, but she didn't expect that Shancha would feel abandoned.

She began to indiscriminately hurt everyone who was close to Grandma Kawada.

"Sorry, it's all my fault."

Sawada Tsunayoshi was sitting nearby. After a moment, he spoke up, "It's not grandma's fault."

Grandma Kawada looked up at the boy who seemed to have no presence at first glance.

The brown-haired boy said, "No one can resist loneliness. I also felt lonely before, and my grandma couldn't find anyone to talk to."

"It's not your fault."

He said, “It’s loneliness’ fault.”
