The next morning.
The sunlight shone through the window onto Aozaki Touko's desk. She sat there silently, but her eyes were fixed on Haru.
Haru was seen sitting leisurely on the sofa as if nothing had happened, watching TV with Ryougi Shiki.
She still couldn't understand and her heart was full of doubts.
At this time, a news report began to be broadcast on TV.
"The abandoned Fujou Building has had its sixth suicide today!"
"The deceased were all female students, and there was no connection between them!"
"The police speculated that this Fujou Building had become a popular place for girls to commit suicide, so they isolated it..."
Ryougi Shiki suddenly stood up and walked in front of Aozaki Touko, with a puzzled look in her eyes: "When I passed by Fujou Building a few days ago, I saw something floating above. Are these suicide cases related to this?"
Aozaki Touko came back to her senses, looking confused, and responded: "Ah?... Well, maybe there is a connection. If you are curious, you might as well check it out."
"Oh." Ryougi Shiki put her hands on her hips, slightly dissatisfied with Aozaki Touko's attitude. Then she sat back on the sofa and continued watching TV.
"Do you want to investigate? I'll go with you!" Haru said with a smile.
"Hmm..." Although Ryougi Shiki acted indifferent, she did not reject Haru's proposal in her heart.
She naturally agreed.
Aozaki Touko looked at Haru's words and actions and took another puff of her cigarette.
What exactly does he want to do?
Could it be that he also arranged this ghost?
If so, what was his intention in bringing Shiki along?
Aozaki Touko tapped the table lightly with her slender fingers, her thoughts were like a tangled mess and she couldn't make sense of them at all.
…
Immediately afterwards, Haru drove a black car and slowly stopped downstairs of Fujou Building.
The building is soaring into the sky, giving people an oppressive feeling.
It was built in the 1970s, during the heyday of the island nation's bubble economy.
However, with the passage of time and changes in the economic situation, this once glorious building is now abandoned.
The appearance of the whole building looks very old and outdated, with peeling walls and broken windows, as if telling the vicissitudes of time.
The former glory is gone, replaced by a dilapidated scene.
Such dilapidated buildings form a sharp contrast with the surrounding modern urban landscape, making people sigh at the ruthlessness of time and the changes in the world.
Ryougi Shiki looked up at the roof of the Fujou Building. It was daytime, so naturally no ghosts could be seen.
"Can you see it now?" Ryougi Shiki asked Haru curiously.
Ever since she had a relationship with Haru, her attitude towards Haru has become very strange. On the surface, she seems to hate Haru a little, but she relies on Haru in everything she does.
Haru stared at the rooftop, touched his chin and said, "I seem to...see that ghost. Wow, it's so beautiful..."
"Tsk!" His words made Ryougi Shiki very unhappy.
But before Ryougi Shiki could continue to express her disgust, Haru suddenly fainted.
"Asshole!" Ryougi Shiki hurried over and picked up Haru, but found that Haru could not be woken up no matter how she called him.
"What's going on? What exactly happened?" Ryougi Shiki was completely confused.
Immediately following.
Ryougi Shiki carried Haru back to Hall.
"Orange! What on earth is going on?" Ryougi Shiki shouted anxiously.
Maybe she herself didn't realize that she cared so much about Haru
Aozaki Touko was also very confused. She hadn't figured out Haru's intentions yet, so why did Haru suddenly fall into a coma?
So she walked over quickly and examined Haru carefully.
She was surprised to find that Haru had another mysterious power. This power was like an invisible hand, tightly pulling his soul and causing him to fall into a deep sleep. Moreover, this spiritual power seemed to be trying to drag his soul away.
"This is trouble. He must have been spotted by the ghost in the Fujou Building. If he is not dealt with in time, he will probably be taken away." Aozaki Touko analyzed.
"What?" Ryougi Shiki was stunned for a moment.
how so?
A deep sense of self-blame emerged on her face. If she had not been interested in the ghost, Haru would not have followed her and would not have been seduced by the ghost.
Then, an uncontrollable anger welled up on her face.
She tightly grasped the knife that Haru gave her and rushed towards the Fujou Building.
She wanted to kill the ghost with her own hands and make it pay for what it had done.
Watching Ryougi Shiki leaving the house and then looking at Haru sleeping on the sofa, Aozaki Touko was even more confused.
Could it be that this ghost incident has nothing to do with him?
But it's really funny that a magician could be bewitched by a mere ghost.
wrong...
She just remembered that Haru did not have any magic circuits. She subconsciously thought that Haru was a magician because of his knowledge and behavior.
Out of curiosity, she squatted down and examined the mysteries of Haru's body.
What is the reason that allows him to perform magic without any magic circuits?
…
It was late at night, and Ryougi Shiki stood downstairs of the Fujou Building again. Looking up, she saw nine ghostly girls floating leisurely in the moonlight, like phantoms in a nightmare.
She rushed to the stairs without hesitation, and every step seemed to be blocked by invisible spiritual power, as if she was walking among thorns.
Sometimes the door panels flew out from the darkness, bringing with them sharp sounds of wind, trying to push her back.
However, Ryougi Shiki had only one thought in her mind - to save Haru.
She gripped the knife tightly and tried her best to cut a path, ignoring all obstacles.
After a difficult climb, she finally reached the roof, and the scene before her made her heart tighten.
Eight ghost girls surrounded a woman in white. The woman was so beautiful that she seemed not to belong to this world.
Her long black hair is like a waterfall, fluttering in the wind, exuding a deep and mysterious beauty.
Ryougi Shiki looked at her, and both of their eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.
Kirie Fujou gently raised her slender fingers and exerted a spiritual force to pull Ryougi Shiki.
However, Ryougi Shiki only staggered slightly before steadying herself.
"So you use this kind of psychological suggestion to make people commit suicide by jumping off a building..." Ryougi Shiki sneered, "How ridiculous! I can't even feel alive, how can I have the desire to fly!"
"By the way, why did you take him away?"
Kirie Fujou was silent for a moment, and then she spoke slowly according to Haru's instructions: "He often passes by downstairs here... I have never seen a man as good as him, I——"
"Shut up!" Ryougi Shiki suddenly yelled, "I won't let you take him away! I was the one who took a fancy to him first! Give him back to me immediately!"
