In the fog, Ilaya is walking around aimlessly. She couldn't see far as the fog is covering all around her. She could make people walking around her, but it's strange, there's so many abnormality about the faint figures that she can barely make out. She attempted to walk around the figures but she can't leave the fog.
The people's voices sound familiar too, like she had heard them before. She attempted to hear what they are saying, when she felt a presence behind her. She looked back a saw a faint figure in the near her. From the figure, Ilaya can tell that it's a woman that's naked but she was covered with blood and she couldn't see her face. And something about the figure frightened her. Like a killer that kills without remorse. She feels that the person is extremely familiar to her, so familiar that…
'I-its me'
Ilaya stepped back as she became frightened. She's incredibly disturbed by the fact that her visage is emanating a dreadful presence. Like an evil version of herself. She wanted to run away but she couldn't take a step back. She then hears an emotionless whispers words coming from the mirage of herself
"...y...nt...wer?"
Ilaya felt that she could understand what her other self is saying, but before she could focus on the voice to hear it clearer, she's abruptly woken up by extreme pain
…
"Kyaahhgg!!"
'it-it hurts! It's so painful!!"
Ilaya screamed as she felt a burning pain in her thigh. She saw that a knife was stabbed in her thigh as she felt terror when she saw blood leaking out from the wound. She immediately looked around and saw a man sitting in a chair looking at her with amusement. The man has sadistic eyes that's looking at her with mirth. She felt that the man is sane and unhinged
She immediately recoiled and attempted to stand up, only plop to the floor as she noticed that her hand was cuffed. She then looked at the man and pleaded as she cried
"Please let me go! Don't kill me!"
The man then replied
"Of course I'm not going to kill you. I'll keep you here as my trophy. We're going have a good time together"
Ilaya felt her chest constrict as she struggled to breathe. She's so terrified that she shouts
"Help!! Please help me!! Someone-!!"
She struggled to get up to run away only to be kicked in her face
Twack!
"Acckkk!
She flew back into the wall as she clutched her face as she felt her nose break and her lips burst. Her blood slips through her fingers as she fought with the pain while crying
"Gaahhgg! It hurts! Please stop! I'm sorry!"
Her tears flows and mixes with her blood on her face as she kept shivering
'I don't want to die!, I don't want to die!'
The killer looked at Ilaya that was clutching her face like a broken doll and smiled
"That's better!, you can make more noise if you want!? Your scream sounds so good!"
Ilaya kept weeping as she struggled to breathe. She tried to cover her nose and mouth with her hand as to stop the bleeding
"Hahh.. i-i'm sorry.. please don't kill me"
She said in a low voice as crawled to go into the corner. She curled up in the corner while facing the wall
The man saw this and he felt satisfied
"That's a shame that you didn't make more noise. I'll get magical tools to make you sing better, so wait for a bit. Haha"
The serial killer then left the room and locked it. The room became quiet as only the sound of groaning, weeping became the only sound inside the room. Ilaya who's in the corner kept trembling as she attempts to stop her crying
"Khh.. hahh.."
'Stop crying, it will not do anything good'
Then, Ilaya slowly stopped crying as she sat up in the corner. She immediately felt the pain as she moved her body and she looked around the room
There's a dim light around the room and she saw many ropes that's connected to the walls. The room is full of blood, possibly from the other victims and there's so much fishy stench from the hardened blood that looks like a mud, and her still flowing blood
"Blurghh"
She vomited in the corner and her mouth immediately hurt as pieces of her teeth fell out alongside her vomit. Ilaya then sits as she leaned on the wall to stabilize her emotions
"Hahh! Hahh!.. kkgh"
She held back her tears as she tried to think about how to escape from this place. As she tries to identify the things inside the room to help her escape, she hears a clinking noise in her arm and she looks at it. It's the bracelet that she's going to give as a gift to the owner and Mars, but… it's now covered in her blood. She just stared at the bracelets as her vision turned blurry, her emotions emotion collapse as she whispered
"Owner… Nee-chan…anyone, please…"
She then bring the bracelets to her chest and hugged it while kneeling as she sobbed in the quiet room
"...help me"
…
Ivana is driving slowly southeast of Shinjuku from the location where Ilaya had been kidnapped. She decided to linger here as this is where the fastest route she can go to her target the moment she receives intel about the killer's location.
'Ilaya is in so much danger right now. Not only because of the killer, but she's a danger to herself and the others. I should have approached her and teach to control her power if I know that this is going happen'
Ivana gritted her teeth
"Don't lose yourself like me… Ilaya"
She looked at her phone waiting when her men found a trace
She patiently waited
…
In the police precinct, police cars are waiting for the moment they manage to find tracks of the serial killer. Michizugawa waited in his car as he was sure that anytime now, the tracks of the serial killer would be found. The killer managed to leave so many trails that they're wondering why did the killer got lousy now, when he's so meticulous before
No matter what, the police force will not rest until they manage to capture or kill their target tonight as it's the first time that the killer managed to leave a trail, and they're not going to let go of it
"I hope the serial killer didn't kill the victim yet"
'So we will be able to save the victim and capture or kill the serial killer
So, Michizugawa patiently waited
…
The killer is walking down the road as he sees an unassuming house as he enters it. He looked at the place where he hid his tools
'I'm definitely going to enjoy a first class butchering of a high quality deer'
He took out his tools from where he hid them and they glinted in the light. He put it in his bag and started walking again to surprise the woman
"I said that I'm going to make you my trophy, but… that doesn't mean that I need you alive"
He trembled from excitement at the thought of seeing her despairing expression
"Haha, I hope you had a good voice!"
The man then walked in the distance
…
Yamato is doing a search in the south east of Shinjuku while riding a motorbike. He looked around the place as he searched for any suspicious place that could hide a van
He's so focused on looking for clues that he almost gets into an accident a couple of times. Then, he saw a man in a black clothing walking at the roadside holding a bag. He looked at the man, but didn't stop as he saw a suspicious small warehouse in the distance. He drove forward and he got closer at the warehouse
Yamato rides his motorbike to park in the distance so as to not alert the serial killer. Then, he parked his motorbike and pulled out his gun. He cautiously walked towards the warehouse with his gun at the ready. He reached the gate
"Shit! It's locked!"
He circled the warehouse to find a way to enter it, and saw a small opening in the back. He almost crouch down to enter the hole but hesitated
"I'm going to be vulnerable if I entered here"
'If the serial killer is inside, then the bastard will just shoot or stab me the moment I wriggle in the hole!'
He then placed his ears towards the wall and tries to hear something inside the place. But he didn't hear anything, it's so quiet. With no other choice, he crouched down and entered the hole and he emerged on the other side. What he saw inside is the van that the spy said in his description. He walked towards the car and smelled a faint scent of blood. This confirmed it and he called the 1st lieutenant in charge of the searching members
The phone rings and it was picked up immediately
"Little brother, have you found something?"
Yamato then said was going to said something, but stopped
"Wait a second, let me confirm it again"
With that, he smashed the window of the van by using the butt of his gun. And an intense stench of blood gushed out from inside. He frowned and opened the flashlight of his phone and saw a blooded seat. He then said to the phone
"Yup, I confirmed that it's the killers vehicle, so maybe the bastard and Ilaya is also around here"
The voice sounded
"Got it, I'll tell boss of you're location, go walk around the place to pinpoint the hideout of the killer as boss will rush there now"
"Okay"
Yamato ended the call and looked again at the blooded seat. He sighed
