There was no sign of Murasame Shion in the restaurant, so Fujiwara Yu had to go to the bedroom door on the second floor with the name "Murasame" on it. As long as he blocked the door here, he should be able to ensure the other party's safety.
After all, this is the second floor. If you want to escape by jumping out the window, it will make a lot of noise and you will be easily discovered.
The corridor was very quiet, but the silence was soon broken by the sound coming from downstairs. Fujiwara Yu was struggling with whether to go downstairs when Murasame Shion came out of the bedroom. After meeting Takagi Sosuke's gaze, she frowned unhappily and said:
"Hey, what are you doing standing at my door? Are you treating me like a criminal?"
"You're overthinking it. I just happened to pass by." Fujiwara Yu calmly walked towards the stairs with his hands in his pockets. He observed Murasame Shion who was also walking towards the stairs with the corner of his eye. It seemed that this guy was also attracted by the sound.
Standing at the gate, Chisuka Akihara put his hands on his waist and looked speechlessly at the shouting Kirishima Soshita. The latter had an irritated expression on his face and shouted at Chisuka in dissatisfaction:
"What do you mean by blocking me here? I want to go back, didn't you hear? I can't stay in this dirty house for even a moment. I want to go home!!!"
"An unclean house?" Fujiwara Yuu asked with interest, one hand in his pocket. "Mr. Kirishima, you're really demanding about the environment. This place is already very clean."
"I'm not talking about hygiene! I'm saying this house is haunted!" Kirishima Xiangshita's face was filled with panic. Ominous thoughts kept popping up in his mind, and strange thoughts kept pouring out of his mouth: "Don't you know? Ghost disturbance phenomenon is a ghost causing trouble in the house. Glass will suddenly shatter, and sometimes knives will fly and cut people! There are many similar reports in Europe and the United States. Haven't you read them?!"
"...I'm talking to you, a grown man, how could you actually believe something that only a little brat would believe?" Qiu Yuan Qiansu couldn't help but sigh. She didn't expect that there would be a market for such fake news.
Rather than being speechless, Fujiwara Yu felt more helpless. He glared at the weird Kirishima Soshita with his half-moon eyes, and was about to explain that this kind of content that only appeared in horror movies would never happen in reality, when the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and standing outside was Fukuoka Kazuya, who was covered in rain.
Fukuoka Ichiya put his umbrella on the stand, wiped the rain off his face, and said seriously:
"Something's seriously wrong. I was planning to leave by car, but... the only road leading outside is blocked."
"Curse, this is definitely a curse! We have been cursed by Mitsuru Hoshino, wuwaaaaaaaaaa!" Kirishima Soshita, who had wanted to escape from here, was so scared that he started shaking. He hugged his head and screamed loudly, completely ignoring the dissuasion of the people around him, rushed to his bedroom and locked the door.
Fujiwara Yuu frowned slightly. The murderer had trapped them here so he could continue killing people. Because there was not only heavy rain but also a typhoon outside, the only road leading to the outside world was blocked, making it impossible for the police to reach here. Furthermore, the signal had been completely cut off, leaving them completely cut off from the outside world.
"Qiansu, I'm going to drive to the blocked area to take a look. You go to the restaurant first."
"Don't you need to worry about Kirishima?"
"Just make sure the others don't leave your sight. I'll be back soon."
Fujiwara Yu hurriedly ran to the car in the rain. He was a cautious person because Fukuoka Kazuya had not been excluded from the list of suspects, so everything he said had to be questioned. He needed to confirm the road conditions.
He had hoped Fukuoka Ichiya was lying before setting out, but his hopes were dashed when he arrived at the scene. The landslide was worse than he had imagined, and not only could the car not make it, but even people couldn't get through.
"Um?"
When Fujiwara Yu looked up, he found something strange. Logically, the landslide was caused by the continuous erosion of heavy rain, which made the mountain unable to bear the weight, causing part of the rock and soil on the slope to move downwards under the action of gravity.
But now there is a huge depression at the collapsed place, which does not conform to the phenomenon of landslide. It is more like a landslide caused by someone deliberately using bombs or something like that.
It seems that the murderer has great ambitions. Does he intend to kill everyone?
Fujiwara Yu raised his eyebrows, which instead aroused his fighting spirit. You know, he still has a lot of things to do, how could he die in such a remote place.
He quickly got back into the car and started the car to return to Gensokan. When he arrived at the restaurant, he found that everyone was already in place except Murasame Shion. Even Kirishima Soshita, who had run back to the room screaming earlier, was there. It seemed that he was still more afraid of staying in the room alone.
Yuge Masami, who was sitting in the main seat, spoke after seeing that everyone was present:
"Except for the two who were unable to reach this place, all the guests are here... Then, please begin your meal. I hope it will be to your liking."
"Excuse me, do we not need to wait for Mr. Murasame to come together?" Akihara Chisu felt a little strange. Could it be that there was someone missing and no one noticed?
Fukuoka Ichiya unscrewed the salad bottle that was placed in a public place, poured the salad dressing into the salad bowl, and explained with a smile:
"Artists are very stubborn about their habits. Murasame likes to eat alone, bathe three times a day, and drink two glasses of bourbon on the rocks before bed. Even canned coffee has to be shaken before drinking."
"Huh? What a surprise." Akihara Chisuzu's gaze fell on Sosuke Takagi who was disinfecting his hands. There was a smile in her eyes, and it was obvious that she realized that someone's identity was not simple.
Someone's habit seems to be quite stubborn and hasn't been corrected.
Creak——
However, at this moment, the door of the restaurant was pushed open. Under the surprised gaze of others, Murasame Shion calmly walked to the empty seat and sat down. He picked up the salad bottle in front of Kirishima and shook it, completely ignoring the intentions of others.
"Murasame? Why are you…"
"Is it not okay if I suddenly want to eat with everyone today?" Murasame Shion interrupted Fukuoka Kazuya's question directly. He didn't want to tell the real reason, because some things can only be kept secret and cannot be said out loud.
Kirishima Xiangshita snorted lightly. It was obvious that he knew very well why Murasame Shion, who had done something wrong, came to the restaurant. It was simply because he had the same idea as himself that it would be safer to stay with everyone.
But an accident still happened. Murasame Shion, who had just put the evenly mixed salad into her mouth, suddenly staggered up with a grim expression, pinched her throat in pain, and blood gushed out of her mouth.
Bang!
Then, in full view of everyone, he fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
