Japanese Terrorist: What? I'll fight Hellstar!

(Money sharing! Everyone gets a share! Don't try to keep it all to yourself!)

"How many times does this tragedy happen every day?"

While Amamiya Rin was reflecting on the night's events, Tomie and the others were already clamoring to divide the spoils.

(Don't try to change the subject!)

"In my memory, although Mr. Takagi was also a morally corrupt person who had affairs with students, he was far from being this depraved."

(I didn't ask for much, just 50 yen! I was the one who suggested the position of Professor Takagi and the plan to murder and confiscate his property.)

"Skinning, dismembering, human experimentation—normal people simply couldn't do these things if they weren't corrupted by your minds."

(Hey! You're not trying to pin the blame on us and use that as an excuse to pocket the money, are you?)

"Can you all just shut up?"

Amamiya Rin rubbed his temples, his face filled with helplessness.

There's a limit to being clueless about romance.

He was lamenting the tragedy caused by these inhuman monsters, who only knew money, money, money!

(You, who plundered money from the villa, have the right to complain that we only care about money?)

Tomie scoffed at Amamiya Rin's idea.

"Don't say such stupid things that I don't even feel the need to refute."

Amamiya Rin's heart would not be swayed by Tomie and the others' sarcasm.

Legally speaking, his actions are naturally illegal.

However, if everything is based on legality, he shouldn't be here.

"I firmly believe that I am on the right path, and I need money to keep going."

Amamiya Rin drew the wooden sword from its sheath, his gaze sweeping over the blade.

The blade, originally sharpened by sandpaper, was now riddled with fine nicks. Near the tip, the wood fibers had cracked, and there were several white dents, as if from impacts with hard objects. Near the guard, the wood was slightly warped, clearly indicating that it had endured excessive pressure during the recent battle.

The wooden knife, which I just sharpened today, has turned into this state after only one use.

I remember this wooden sword wasn't cheap, but a wooden sword is still a wooden sword; it's too easy to damage in high-intensity combat.

"I seem to have gone off-topic. Let's get back to the point. I've been too negligent."

Amamiya Rin sighed softly.

"I clearly intended to restrain Kawakami Tomie and do what I could to help her, but I never took any action."

He slowly pushed the wooden sword back into its sheath.

"Although it's unreasonable to blame myself for this, it's I who wanted to make a difference, but I failed to recognize the seriousness of the problem and haven't taken any action yet."

The dismembered body inside the refrigerator; the modified female body.

The images that flashed through her mind made Amamiya Rin feel a little down.

(What's wrong with you? You're a cripple still recovering from a curse, and you've managed to get yourself into trouble with a curse every other day. What free time do you have to do anything?)

Although she thought about Tomie never being a slave and overthrowing Amemiya's tyranny every day.

But upon hearing Amamiya Rin's thoughts, Tomie and the others couldn't help but complain.

(You idiot, do you really think you're a saint?)

"It's not that noble; I'm just doing what I can."

Yu Gonglin looked up at the second floor of the villa. The fire was getting bigger and bigger. The bright red light flickered in the window, and black smoke and flames rolled up, dyeing the night sky dark red.

"Moreover, with the intelligence and capabilities I possess, I should be able to do more than I anticipated; theoretically, we should be even more powerful."

He touched his ear, and the part that had been bitten off had already grown back.

Confusion: Before today, he seemed to be rational all the time, but in reality, he was always in a state of confusion.

Despite knowing that dangers lurked everywhere, they failed to have a clear plan for the future.

While the fact that he was still in the recovery phase and couldn't do anything about it was partly due to his sense of powerlessness in the face of the world, which led to his procrastination.

It wasn't until he walked out of the villa that he realized his goal.

"I'm giving you two days off. During those two days, you can go anywhere, just like you just said, to form a giant spider web, leaving Tomie, who is stranded outside, with nowhere to escape."

After saying that, Amamiya Rin paused for a moment before continuing.

"It's not just a spider web, but also an intelligence network, collecting all sorts of urban legends and folk tales for me. I will screen and investigate them to confirm valuable information."

Amamiya Rin was truly, completely serious.

Tomie and the others could sense his attitude; this experience had indeed changed his mindset.

For them, was Amamiya Rin's change good or bad?

(Shouldn't this be a good thing? Amamiya Rin is more likely to die now.)

Tomie Kawakami's thoughts were full of malice.

The more courageous one is in the face of curses and strange phenomena, the faster one dies. Once Amamiya Rin is dead, no one will be able to threaten them.

"You guys... never mind."

Amamiya Rin sighed silently. He took a deep look at the villa that was gradually burning, turned around, and walked into the thick of the night.

Three hours later, after returning to the East Capital General Hospital, she left over a million yen, Takagi's research diary, and the cracked wooden sword in Amamiya Rin's room. Kawakami Tomie, who had lost sync with Amamiya Rin, left with a sour face.

Amamiya Rin shrugged and took out a hidden can of black coffee from the bedside table—the nurses wouldn't allow him to drink this stuff, so he had to do it secretly.

He pulled the tab off the can and tilted his head back to take a big gulp.

The bitter coffee slid down his throat, instantly invigorating his brain, which was exhausted from staying up all night.

Setting the coffee aside, Amamiya Rin took out sandpaper and carefully polished the edge of the wooden sword, barely managing to repair it before sheathing it again and opening Takagi's notebook.

Takagi was just an ordinary high school teacher. There were no incomprehensible terms in his notebook, but he also didn't have any noteworthy research results. He merely opened up a new avenue of thought for Amamiya Rin.

Tomie Kawakami splits into two parts when she is in a state of mental instability, which means that Tomie Kawakami's brainwaves can affect the distortion of her body.

If this characteristic is explored in depth, could Tomie Kawakami freely control the changes in her body?

Amamiya Rin seemed to be deep in thought, then took out a ballpoint pen and wrote down the project on the last page of his notebook.

Afterwards, while she still remembered some of the manga's content, Amamiya Rin recorded the important information in the notebook and organized the factors that could be utilized.

The document contained five pages of detailed information, which Amamiya Rin carefully read through from beginning to end.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him like lightning.

"Found it! A way to deal with the Dissolving Demon!"
