But the shooting explanation doesn't hold water.
If the murderer has an obsession with the heart, he will not make wounds on the victim's heart.

Even if the gunshots would not alarm the local residents, the murderer could have killed the victim somewhere else and then made arrangements at the intersection, without having to take the victim's heart directly at the intersection.
"Master, the wind has suddenly turned around." BB reported the change in the speech situation to Fujimaru Ritsuka casually, "Unfortunately, there is still no trace of deliberate guidance. But it can be said that in an instant, all the comments turned into those opposing the Master's hypothesis."
"It's okay. I wasn't seriously doing reasoning anyway—" Fujimaru Ritsuka waved his hands casually, holding the drink provided by Ashiya Doman and paying attention to the changes in the discussion. "I just put a few stories that 'ordinary people can't see any big problems at first glance'. Because the truth is that phantoms are killing humans, no matter how sophisticated the lies are, they will be exposed."
"So I was just laying the groundwork for the story that follows - you see, they only denied that the murderer would not do this, but they did not deny that humans would also take the dead's heart."
"As long as this is true, it is enough - I believe that the princess will handle the situation well."

No! The Living Festival Kaguya-hime really exists!
I saw it with my own eyes!
Just three days ago! Suddenly appeared at the fork in the road! Even the moonlight at that time turned into a cold and pale white!
If it weren't for the people who claimed to be experts in supernatural phenomena who saved me and my seniors, the first case of a person's heart being stolen by the living sacrifice Kaguya Hime might have happened three days ago!
"...Ah, it's the member of the paranormal club whose mental state is the most unstable at the moment, the student who was the first to retreat at the scene mentioned by Edmund, and he seems to be a classmate of Mash." Fujimaru Ritsuka blinked, matching the spokesperson on the website with the person in real life, "Too much pressure? Or what? Anyway, he couldn't accept other people discussing this case so nonchalantly, so he lost control."

The living sacrifice Kaguya-hime is not a fiction, but a real demon.
So, why did the gods who were supposed to be worshipped turn into demons and start attacking passers-by?
Why did she start attacking passers-by? What obsession did she have?

oh oh--
Is this a supernatural story?
＜873＞ Name: Kuebiko 09／17 20：30
Let us focus on the original story.
＜874＞ Name: Kuebiko 09／17 20：30
This god, whose real name and honorific name we never knew, could be considered a good god in the popular sense at the beginning of this story.
——She would meet all the wishes of her believers equally, never refused any of their requests, and let them live a happy life.

In this kind of story, the problem is usually the "infinity" of God.
It is the unlimited tolerance of God that allows human desires to continue to expand, resulting in God itself being completely devoured by human desires and turned into nourishment.
＜876＞ Name: Itsuki 09／17 20：30
That's the problem.
Dead gods will not necessarily turn into demons. Only those with strong obsessions will turn into demons and bring harm to others. Most of them return to nature - and according to the previous description, she should have voluntarily been killed by humans.
She would not hold any grudge against humans. She should have returned to heaven and earth like other gods, instead of turning into a demon and wreaking havoc in front of humans.
＜900＞ Name: Kuebiko 09／17 20：31
So I think she has unfulfilled wishes, obsessions that she absolutely cannot let go of. That's why she chose to walk the world again in the form of a demon.
However, this is probably a legacy of her transformation into a demon. She should have been friendly and even doting on humans, but after becoming a demon, she twisted that obsession into the current state of constantly attacking humans.
It can even be said that the current situation is not what she wanted.
Please think about it, why did she become like this?
The answer is simple: it is for her followers.
Because those believers escaped from their miserable lives and lived a happy life only after her appearance.

Just like a mother will never feel comfortable letting her child live without her?
＜902＞ Name: Kuebiko 09／17 20：31
That's it!
She was afraid that her believers would not be able to continue to live happily after losing her protection, so she could not just disappear no matter what. She had to see that her believers could live a happy life forever.
This is exactly what the living sacrifice Kaguya-hime is obsessed with!
"How should I put it... the motivation in this story is surprisingly easy to understand." Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the various replies that kept popping up on the web page and smacked his lips. "Generally speaking, it's because of love for the believers 'humans' and the hope that they can live a happy life. Why does it sound so familiar?"
"It's the human evil 'Beast', right?" Abe Haruaki and Asiya Michimitsu exchanged glances and looked at their lord who had defeated many human evils. "Because they are based on their love for humans - strictly speaking, it is because they hope that humans can develop better that they pose a threat to current humans..."
"But this shouldn't develop to that point." Abe Haruaki smacked his lips and made a judgment on the final result. "After all, this is just a story, a completely fictional story that didn't even exist for a year. As long as everyone thinks this is just a fictional story, it will be forgotten and no longer be true. Delusion."
"For such a fictional thing to develop into human evil, it must be remembered by at least one person thousands of years later, right?"
"After all, the first thing to cross is the gap between fiction and reality."

Let's stick with the original story.
A long, long time ago, the gods visited this village. No one knows why the gods appeared there. In order to facilitate the description of everything that happened next and to facilitate the association of the gods' original arrival, I will call her "Kaguya-hime" from now on.
Before she turned into a demon and became a god who sacrificed Kaguya-hime - let's use Kaguya-hime as her name.
Princess Kaguya performed miracles for the village, and the villagers lived a happy life. Princess Kaguya also received sincere worship from the villagers. During this period, Princess Kaguya was like a new mother who had just met her newborn baby. She found humans interesting and wanted to give them all the good things. The villagers always responded in a way that made Princess Kaguya happy.
This period can be said to be the time when the relationship between Kaguya and her followers was the healthiest and most harmonious.
＜1101＞ Name: Kuebiko 09／17 20：40
After that, the villagers got used to Kaguya's unconditional devotion and the fact that all their wishes would be fulfilled by her - so their desires began to swell.
They begin trying to take more from Kaguya - that's what's mentioned in the middle of the story, when the villagers beg Kaguya for her blood, and she gives it to them.
Princess Kaguya did not refuse their request for blood, not only because the wounds on her body would heal quickly, but also because she was used to meeting their requests - even this request was very new to her, people no longer had a sense of awe towards her, but instead did something that was offensive to all gods...
Princess Kaguya may have thought that this meant that her followers were willing to get closer to her, so she did not refuse - and agreed to a series of subsequent requests.
Of course, all of this was agreed to based on Kaguya's belief that these actions would help her followers live a happy life.

So, until she was left with only remnants and about to die, she was still worried about the future of her believers.
In other words, the living sacrifice Kaguya-hime robbed people of their body parts because her followers had taken them from her when she was a god - she thought her followers still needed them, not to complete her own body!
After all, if she really was dissatisfied with humans and wanted to vent her hatred, she could just destroy the village and kill all her past believers - after doing so, the obsession would quickly dissipate, and naturally we wouldn't see the living festival Kaguya appearing everywhere at night and attacking passers-by.
＜1121＞ Name: Cause 09／17 20：41
Then, if the obsession of sacrificing Kaguya-hime alive were to dissipate, it might be a very simple matter.
＜1122＞ Name: Itsuki 09／17 20：41
That's right.
Gods who transform into demons usually have no consciousness, so the living sacrifice Kaguya Princess may not be able to judge who are her believers and who are not her believers - so as long as she can feel the signal that she can live a happy life without her believers, her obsession will dissipate.
＜1123＞ Name: Cause 09／17 20：41
That is to tell her in a gentle manner——
God, we no longer need your cradle. Goodbye, we will live a happier life than before.
