Chapter 052 Chapter 52

The subsequent actions were determined. Reno and the other three girls and Aburano Hideto decided to work hard to find a way out and leave this strange world as soon as possible. Saito Shun and the other two chose to find a safer place and hide until the train came here again at midnight the next day, then they got on the train and left.

Neither party persuaded the other party. The two sides were not familiar with each other. Moreover, the attitude of the Japanese people has always been "self-responsibility". Simply put, the actions they take are their own responsibility, whether the results are good or bad. However, "self-responsibility" is occasionally abused and has become a common excuse for some unscrupulous companies in Japan to shirk their responsibilities.

Sometimes people can be cold-hearted. Just like now, Saito Shun was thinking, "Ah, these people have chosen a very dangerous path, they will definitely die," but he said, "Come on, guys."

They parted like this without even saying goodbye.

Okita Shinro and the other two chose to move forward. They planned to find a way to leave this strange street as soon as possible. Aburano Hideto took the three girls and wanted to return the same way.

Looking at the backs of Okita Shinro and the other two as they left, Rimi pursed her lips. She glanced at Aburano Hideto carefully, recalling Okita Shinro's words.

It is true that Hideto Aburano looked a little different after his return, but she did not know Hideto Aburano and did not understand this person, so she could only observe carefully.

I guess... nothing will happen.

"Are we going to the Kisaragi platform later?" Miyuki asked worriedly, "Will we run into the woman in the red dress that Reino mentioned?"

Thinking of the person whose entire body seemed to be soaked in blood, Reino shuddered and looked at Yuuno Hideto: "You said you want to deal with the strongest monster here, will it be her?"

Li Mei: "Before solving the problem, do we need to investigate first?"

Aburano Hideto: "I know a little about this matter. Do you remember the missing person notice you saw earlier?"

Missing person notice? The three girls thought about it and remembered the piece of paper Saito Shun found stuck on the telephone pole.

It was because the missing person notice mentioned the time of disappearance that they knew that this world was in the Showa era, which was several decades ago.

There was no photo on the missing person notice, only detailed descriptions of the missing woman's facial features, the clothes she was wearing when she went missing, and her last name.

However, I can't remember any of this now. I just glanced at it casually at the time. I don't have a particularly good memory. Who can remember so much useless information that has nothing to do with themselves?

"His surname is Koseihara, he's 23 years old, 1.67 meters tall, with waist-length hair and a black mole at the corner of his mouth. He was wearing a white floral dress and red leather shoes, and was carrying a brown ladies' bag." Aburano Hideto repeated the contents of the missing person notice.

The three girls looked at him in astonishment. Aburano Hideto said sheepishly, "I am very talented in memory, but I passed the college entrance exam by rote memorization. My grades in math and other subjects were very poor."

Miyuki and Reino believed it, especially Miyuki who showed an envious expression: "If I had this ability, I would have been admitted to a top university long ago, instead of being a local idol. The thing I am worst at is memorizing things."

Only Rimi was thinking about what Okita Shinro said, and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes when she looked at Aburano Hideto.

She didn't know how good Aburano Hideto's memory was, but her memory was pretty good. She could vaguely remember that when she saw the missing person notice on the telephone pole, the people closest to the notice were Saito Shun and Okita Shinro, followed by herself. The rest of the people were standing at the back, especially Aburano Hideto, who was standing at the very back of the crowd. Even if he had a good memory, how could he see the blurry words on the missing person notice clearly in such a dimly lit place when he didn't even get close to the notice?

Aburano Hideto becomes increasingly suspicious.

However, this man had already walked with them, and it was impossible to separate from him without a suitable reason. Even if they changed their minds now and wanted to reunite with Okita Shinro and the others, it was too late. Okita Shinro and the others had already disappeared into the darkness, and no one knew where they had gone.

"I think... we need to be more vigilant." Rimi swallowed and looked at Aburano Hideto warily. "We have been trapped here and have been in a cycle. Maybe we can't get out now."

"No, we can get out." Aburano Hideto answered decisively, "If this place is still trapped in a loop, the three college students who left should come back from here."

"Oh, I see." Li Mei nodded awkwardly.

Miyuki stared into Rimi's eyes. She walked to Rimi's side and whispered, "Rimi, what's wrong with you? You've been acting a little weird since just now?"

"It's okay, I'm just too scared." said Li Mei.

She didn't dare to point out the suspicious behavior of Aburano Hideto. Firstly, it was all just suspicion. Secondly, even if he really had a problem, pointing it out at this time would only make the other party go into a hunting state, which would do more harm than good.

I don't know if he sensed what Rimi was thinking, but Aburano Hideto, who was walking in front and leading the way, turned around and looked at Rimi, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, a look that seemed like a smile.

Li Mei was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat and she dared not look at him again.

The result was just as Aburano Hideto said, the endless circulation of the streets stopped, they walked out of here, and could see the lighted Kisaragi platform in the distance.

Ling Nai looked around nervously, but when she didn't see the woman in the red dress, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"The missing person notice you mentioned before..." Reino looked at Aburano Hideto.

Aburano Hideto was staring at the Kisaragi platform in a trance. After hearing what Reino said, he came to his senses and said, "Ah, the missing place is in the wilderness in front of the Kisaragi platform."

"Eh?" Ling Nai showed a puzzled expression on her face, "You know the location, but I remember that the missing place on the missing person notice was covered by black marks. How did you know..."

"This..." Aburano Hideto pointed behind Reino and smiled, "She told me."

At this moment, Ling Nai's heartbeat almost stopped. She slowly turned her head and saw a woman with long black hair covering her entire face and her head hanging standing behind her.

"Ah——" Ling Nai screamed and ran away.

Miyuki and Rimi still couldn't see the woman in the red dress. From their perspective, Reno looked back and then ran away screaming.

"Reino!!" Miyuki and Rimi ran after her.

Miyuki has a strong motor nerve and her reaction speed is faster, but she still can't catch up with Reno whose adrenaline is rushing. Rimi fell behind and wanted to catch up, but was held down by the shoulder by Hideto Aburano.

The man was very strong, and he grabbed Li Mei's shoulders tightly like a pair of pliers, causing Li Mei to gasp in pain.

Miyuki Okada didn't notice that Rimi, who was standing behind her, didn't catch up. There weren't many lights around, and the two of them soon disappeared from sight.

Only Rimi and Aburano Hideto are left here.

"We are alone together," said Aburano Hideto with a smile. "I'd like to say that, but there are other people here besides us."

Rimi struggled to break away from Aburano Eito and glared at him: "You...are you really not Aburano Eito?"

"I'm Aburano Hideto." Aburano Hideto smiled and raised his finger, "But I'm the opposite one. You should come and say hello to your opposite self as well."

Aburano Hideto pointed behind Rimi.

Li Mei turned her head and saw a woman in a short skirt standing in the darkness. The woman's face was not clear because of the darkness, but the light blue skirt she was wearing was exactly the same as hers.

"Hello, 'I'." Another Rimi walked out of the darkness and took out a fruit knife. "But Matsue Rimi only needs one person, disappear."

'Rimi' rushed towards Rimi with a knife in hand and grinned.

"Those four people, are they okay?" Yanagida Mayuko showed a worried expression on her face. "It's crazy to think that these four people can solve the weird things here."

Saito Shun snorted, "Who cares? They are responsible for their own decisions. Even if they die there, it is their own choice."

"Even though I say that," Yanagida Mayiko sighed, "I still feel it's pitiful, dying at such a young age."

Okita Shinro frowned slightly.

This is like admitting that those four people will not return alive.

Maiko Yanagida: "Okita-kun, you haven't said a word since just now."

Okita Shinro said: "I was thinking about something else, that salaryman..."

Just as he finished speaking, a man rushed out from the darkness ahead. His clothes were tattered, and the briefcase he had been holding in his hand had been thrown away somewhere. Not only that, the man's arm was bleeding, and he was in a mess. It was the office worker Yuya Eito.

After seeing Okita Shinro and his group, Hideto Aburano stared at them for a long time, his eyes fixed on them, as if he was trying to identify something.

"How did you..." Yanagida Maiko looked at him, then turned around and looked in the opposite direction, "How did you get there? Where are the three girls? What happened?"

After hearing what Yanagida Maiko said, Aburano Hideto confirmed their authenticity. Tears suddenly flowed out of his eyes. He rushed to Saito Shun and the others and stammered, "There are monsters, more than one! Leave, as soon as possible, we must leave here as soon as possible!"

"Calm down," Okita Shinro said. "Can you start from the beginning? What happened to you after you separated from us? You didn't leave those three underground idols. That wasn't you."

"What?" Saito Shun's eyes widened, "What do you mean 'not him'? What does that mean?"

Aburano Hideto thought of something and shrank his head in fear.

"It means doppelganger." Okita Shinro said seriously, "In addition to Kisaragi Station, there is also the urban legend of doppelganger here."

Yanagida Maiko's eyes gradually widened: "Then the person we saw before..."

"It's fake." Okita Shinro was sure, "He is a doppelganger."

“Those girls…”

Okita Shinro: "They are more dangerous than good, and even if you see them in the future, you have to be cautious."

Maybe when I meet them again, they will be their doppelgangers.
