The story we started

[The pager on his waist was still ringing. He was almost killed by the sound of the pager and was now furious. He pulled it out and pressed the answer button. The familiar voice coming from it made Kousaka Kyosuke almost want to curse.]

[“Why are you here again!?”]

[“Oh no! Mr. Kosaka!”]

[Patrolman Kameyama in the monitoring room of the Nagano Prefectural Police Department was watching the surveillance video in front of him and spoke anxiously. On the screen in front of him, on a highway with cars running side by side, a blurry black figure was running at a speed that was no less than that of the cars, and it overtook more than a dozen cars in front of it in a flash. Many of the car owners who were overtaken suspected that they might have encountered a ghost in broad daylight.]

[“The surveillance camera on the highway captured an unidentified figure running at an alarming speed on the route from Nagano Prefecture to Tokyo. It is about to reach the city of Tokyo. I am afraid it is a new unidentified life form!”]

[These words made Kousaka Kyosuke feel like he was falling into an ice cellar. ]

[“If it is really an unconfirmed life form… that guy is also in Tokyo! Damn it!”]

【Thinking of the strategy for unconfirmed life forms announced by the superior at today's meeting, Kousaka Kyousuke stood up and ran outside despite the pain.】

[“Don’t do anything stupid to me! You idiot!”]

……

【Near Myogadani Station, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo. 】

["Hope no のはな system い だ tie が ～ the current servant ら の chest の中 に あ る か ら ～ decisive し て San る こ と は な い ～生きる力! Hope の は な system い だ——" 】

[Zaimokuza, wearing headphones, hums the song in his headphones as he walks towards the station. For some reason, he thinks this song is very catchy and suitable for looping.]

[This morning he had just returned to Tokyo with Yukinoshita Yukino on the first Shinkansen train from Nagano to Tokyo. Less than twelve hours later he was about to board another train to Nagano with a happy smile on his face.]

[A man in the crowd passing by saw the silly smile on the white-haired man's face and thought he was going to meet his girlfriend, and couldn't help but curse in his heart that all lovers in the world would be brothers and sisters. The woman saw the gentle smile on the face of this cheerful and sunny white-haired handsome man, and her eyes lit up, but she also felt a little sad, and she only blamed herself for meeting her true love too late, and from now on she can only be the listener in your and his story. ]

[Zaimokuza was indeed going to meet someone, but it was definitely not as outrageous as what passersby imagined, that he was going to meet his girlfriend. Although he was indeed very handsome, his view on love was so dull that he could be compared with a twelve-year-old elementary school boy. During his years of traveling around the world, he had seen all kinds of beauties with different styles, some of whom had flirted with him and even boldly confessed their love, but his answer was always the same.]

“You are a good person!”

【Faced with this sentence said by this white-haired rabbit with a thumbs up and a smile, the emotions surging in the hearts of all the beauties were chopped into a river of blood by this sentence. All those lingering affections and bold declarations of love were just like the petals falling on the stone statues on Easter Island. They were completely wasted. At least the cow will moo at you to show that you are noisy. Some people who turned love into hate even suspected that this guy with a smile on his face forever had a problem with his sexual orientation, or that when he was created in the womb, his brain was not given the function of "love" because of the pregnant woman's cutting corners?】

[Zaimokuza's purpose of going to Nagano Prefecture this time is to look for Kousaka Kyousuke again, because he thinks that the other party may need his help in the case of unidentified life forms... maybe he can find a long-term meal ticket and a free place to live. Recently, due to the sudden drop in sales of his own novels, Zaimokuza's financial resources are somewhat difficult to survive. He originally hoped to find a rich woman for help, but because he just drained half of Yukinoshita Yukino's wallet, he felt a little embarrassed, so he turned his attention to a handsome police officer. ]

[You provide food and lodging, and I provide fighting. We hit it off immediately, a match made in heaven! ]

"What a match made in heaven, you idiot! Am I some kind of public free shared dining hall? Or do I look like someone who is perfect for being scammed? Why am I the first person you think of for something like this?"

Watching what Zaimokuza was thinking in the video, Kousaka Kyosuke couldn't help but complain angrily. The looks from some of the women around him made him feel even more uneasy.

The worry that Zaimokuza was about to face another unidentified life form disappeared in an instant. Now he couldn't stand the white-haired guy in the video. Not only did he ruin his reputation, but now everyone in the class suspected that he was gay. He even shamelessly wanted to use him as a scapegoat to eat and drink for free? This was outrageous!

"Go to hell! You shameless white-haired bastard!"

[“Don’t stop~”]

[Snap, whoosh——]

[The sound coming from behind made Zaimokuza stop in his tracks as he was about to enter the station. The scene he saw when he turned around instantly changed his expression.]

……

[“Don’t come over here!!!”]

[Ito Makoto's face under the helmet was horrified. He sat on the ground with his hands on the cold ground and kicked his legs back. Next to him was an overturned motorcycle.]

[Looking at the terrifying figure walking towards him slowly, his whole body trembled, and a faint trace of wet water could be seen spreading from the crotch of his motorcycle suit.]

[I thought today was his lucky day, but I didn't expect it would become his nightmare. ]

[After failing the college entrance exam, he spent his days doing nothing. Under the persuasion of his high school buddy, Taisuke Sawaonaga, he became a biker gang. He rode a modified motorcycle on the road all day, flirting with high school and college girls passing by, and sometimes even assaulted junior high school students when he was in the mood.]

[Today, they drove their motorcycles on the road as usual, arrogantly lifting the front wheel to scare the opposite car off course and crash into the street lamp. Amid the curses and sirens of the police car behind them, they laughed wildly and came to the tunnel where they used to compete. As a result, they met a few newcomers who didn't know the rules and occupied their space. ]

[Those were a few people who were dressed very avant-garde, even non-mainstream.]

[Why is it called non-mainstream? Not only do they all wear purple lipstick on their faces, but their outfits are also more bizarre than the others.]

[One of the women, who looked about the same age as them, was wearing a pair of ripped shorts, revealing two long, slender, white legs. She was wearing a black bra on her upper body and black denim spikes. Her face, which should have been pretty, was covered with rapeseed similar to that of an African tribe, and her lips were painted with purple lipstick.]

[A sturdy man with a physique comparable to that of a sumo wrestler was wearing a pair of black trousers and a brown jacket, which almost completely exposed his sturdy upper body. His skin was covered with scars, and he had a soaring hair style similar to Nikaido Benimaru. His facial features seemed to carry a sense of ferocity all the time, which was intimidating just by looking at him.]

[There is another person who is dressed in black, including black shoes, black pants, and a black coat. He is holding an abacus in his hand. He is completely hidden in the shadow of black. The only thing that is not black is his white woolen hat and scarf. His face is almost invisible. Only a pair of cold black eyes can be vaguely seen.]

[The last one was even more bizarre. He was wearing a pair of black sneakers and blue beach pants, and only a blue jacket on his upper body, revealing eight conspicuous abdominal muscles. His face was also covered with rapeseed, and he had a -]

[…a road traffic sign? ]

[Ito Makoto swore that it was definitely not because of his eyesight that he saw it wrong, but that the person wearing the sign on his head was exactly the kind of traffic sign he usually saw on the road, with red at the front and rear and white in the middle, which was often used to separate vehicles and pedestrians during road maintenance.]

[What the hell is this outfit? Is it because I have been obsessed with being a bosozoku for too long and have lost touch with modern aesthetics? ]

[“Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing!?”]

[While he was still madly complaining in his heart, his companion, Sawada Taisuke, immediately got off the motorcycle, cursing, and walked towards the four people in strange costumes on the opposite side.]

[“This is our territory. If you want to have fun, go somewhere else!”]

[Sawano Taisuke said rudely, driving them away without any courtesy.]

[The four people on the opposite side turned a deaf ear and looked over with cold eyes. ]

[Ito Makoto remembers it very clearly. Rather than looking at a fellow human, that gaze was more like looking at some low-level creature crawling on the ground. There was hardly any human emotion in it. If I had to describe it...]

[That's like the way humans look at bread.]

[“What are you looking at? Huh? Do you have any objections? Assholes!”]

[Sawaga Taisuke, who still had the same yellow hair as in high school, naturally noticed the way the four people opposite him were looking at him, and he immediately felt uncomfortable.]

[How dare a few newcomers look at me who has been around for so many years with such eyes? I must teach them how to respect their seniors! ]

[With this thought in mind, he quickened his pace and reached behind him with his right hand to take out the dagger tied to his back, ready to teach the other party a lesson.]

[Suddenly, the biker stopped and looked straight at the opposite side - to be precise, at the woman in the middle of the four people who was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and hot pants, exposing her white thighs and arms to the air. Her eyes gradually began to change in an unhealthy direction.]

[It seems that you don’t have to use a knife. You can try to “teach” the other party a lesson in other ways. Of course, this is limited to the girl opposite.]

[Ito Makoto also saw the revealing and wild woman, his eyes changed, and the blood that passed down in the Ito family immediately reacted, and the long-lost impulse to hunt for beauty made his heart beat faster. ]

[…Maybe today will be a wonderful day~]

[Just as Ito Makoto was daydreaming, Sawano Taisuke's mouth showed an obscene smile, and his steps gradually became ruthless.]

[“Oh~~ You have a nice pair of legs.”]

[Walking in front of the woman, Sawano Yasushi squatted down and tapped her fair skin with the knife.]

[This is his usual trick. In the past, when he was driving his motorcycle to extort some female students on the road, they turned pale and trembled uncontrollably when he hit them on the thigh with a dagger. Then they naturally let him do whatever he wanted.]

[Several times, he took the money from the girls and put a knife to their necks. When they were too scared to move, he dragged them into the alleys. Then...]

[As if recalling some wonderful memories, he squinted his eyes in ecstasy and decided to relive that feeling once again today.]

[“Oh~ There’s even a tattoo.”]

[Sawayoshi Taisuke used a knife to tap the woman's exposed thigh skin, where there was a black tattoo that looked similar to the leopard totem worshipped by African tribes.]

[But Sawaga Taisuke didn't realize that when he did this, the woman's eyes completely changed. ]

[The eyelids of the cold eyes that seemed to be looking at the walking bread sank, and a sense of horror naturally emanated from them. Then, changes beyond the imagination of ordinary people began. ]

[A stream of scorching steam began to emanate from the woman's exposed skin. The whites of her eyes, which were originally no different from those of an ordinary person, were quickly filled with black that surged up from the corners of her eyes like ink. Her brown pupils became red as if they were congested, emitting a strange red light. The black pupil in the center of the pupil quickly changed from round to sharp, almost breaking through the constraints of the pupil and piercing into the already dark whites of her eyes.]

[The sharply increased body temperature was transmitted to the dagger that was pressed against the woman's thigh skin, causing the temperature of the dagger blade to rise sharply. A large amount of white smoke came out of the skin where the dagger was pressed tightly, just like using a red-hot iron fork to pierce pork.]

【"How……!?"】

[Sawano Taisuke felt a burst of intense heat coming from his right palm that was holding the dagger, almost burning his palm, and he subconsciously threw the dagger away.]

[When he raised his head, he saw a pair of dark eyes that had nothing to do with humans, and the vertical pupils were scarlet like those of a wild animal, emitting a faint red light.]

[Humans' sixth sense, which is specially used to avoid danger, sent out a crazy warning of danger. The bikers had almost no time to think, and they immediately stood up and prepared to step back, but that was all they could do.]

【"you--"】

[No time to speak, no time to think, no time to even be afraid. ]

【Sawayoshi Taisuke could only feel a sharp pain and impact coming from his chin, and his vision changed the next second.】

[Like flying in the clouds, the vision in my eyes kept changing. In the last moment, I saw Ito Makoto still sitting on the motorcycle. In the next moment, I saw the woman in strange clothes opposite me, with one of her slender legs raised high.]

【At the same time, there is a body without a head. 】

[Strange, why does that body have no head? ]

[Ah... That's right, that's my body. ]

【With this thought, Sawaga Taisuke's consciousness fell into eternal darkness. 】

【Snapped. 】

[The head hit the top of the tunnel with great force, splashing blood, which dripped down quietly like rain.]

[One drop, two drops, slowly dripping onto Ito Makoto's face as he raised his head.]

[Like a machine without oil lubrication, he sluggishly lowered his head and looked at the scene ahead with confused eyes.]

[The sudden development of the situation caused his brain, which was addicted to alcohol, sex and racing, to completely stop functioning.]

[After losing the head, blood spurted out from the broken neck like a fountain under the high blood pressure, covering the scenery in front. Only the burning steam could be vaguely seen emanating from the woman who was slowly lowering her legs.]

[The headless body shook for a moment, and just as it was about to fall down——]

【boom! 】

[A violent shock wave exploded, blowing the body away directly. The body was blown to the side of another Ito Makoto's motorcycle like a broken doll.]

[The woman in wild and revealing clothes in front of the corpse has disappeared.]

【Instead, there is a "monster". 】

[Yes, that existence can only be described as a monster. ]

[Black skin covers the entire body, the five fingers of the hands and feet are as sharp as those of wild animals, wearing a skirt and pants similar to a loincloth, the only facial features that are similar to humans are the mouth and nose, but the eyes have no pupils and are scarlet, and the whole body emits steam that is hot enough to burn people. ]

[That is definitely not the appearance of a human being, so it can only be a monster. ]

[The tunnel fell into silence for a moment.]

[“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!”]

[After a while, it was interrupted by a heart-wrenching scream.]

[Ito Makoto put on his helmet with a hand speed that was far faster than the speed at which he used to tear off a girl's clothes. Without even glancing at the body of his good brother lying at his feet, he quickly turned the direction of the motorcycle and drove towards the exit of the tunnel at top speed.]

[“Help, help!!!”]

[While driving, he howled in a high-pitched voice that even the female singing troupe would be ashamed of. Tears streamed down his handsome face under his helmet, and his screams echoed throughout the entire tunnel.]

[The "monster" didn't care when he saw Ito Makoto running away. He stretched out his hand to catch the blood dripping from the top of the tunnel, like drinking nectar. He opened his mouth and drank the blood dripping from his fingertips into his mouth.]

[When the blood stopped dripping, it shook its bloody fingertips and turned its neck, making a "crackling" sound of bones rubbing against each other. Under the indifferent gazes of the other three people around it, it slightly bent its body towards the direction where Ito Makoto fled.]

【call out--】

[The next second, a black phantom ran out from the spot, rushed out of the tunnel and merged into the darkness outside.]

[This is completely different from what Ito Makoto had expected. His beautiful day of terror and blood begins.]

……

[“The number you dialed cannot be connected——”]

[“Hurry up and pick it up! Ms. Yukinoshita!”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke was running on the sidewalk in a standard Japanese drama running posture, holding the phone to his ear in one hand, listening to the voice coming from it and clenching his teeth. ]

【Seongnan University, graduate student dormitory. 】

[Yukino Yukinoshita lay exhausted on the big bed. The continuous experiences and fatigue in the past few days made her fall asleep without even taking off her coat. The phone beside her kept ringing, but it still couldn't wake up the sleeping beauty with furrowed eyelashes. ]

【"Damn!"】

[After receiving the same answer for the fifth time, Kousaka Kyosuke hung up the phone and ran even harder.]

[As he ran, he prayed anxiously, praying that the white-haired rabbit would not transform in public as he had imagined, because then everything would be over! ]

[“Please don’t transform——Zaimokuza!”]
