Why are you messing with him? All the animals in Tokyo are his minions.

Inside the Aokigahara Forest.

The whole forest seemed to be resisting and rejecting the silvery moonlight.

There are no fireflies in winter.

But the moonlight filtering through the gaps in the forest will be reflected by the remaining snow on the ground.

The Aokigahara Sea of Trees at night looks like a dead place.

The twisted branches hung down, swayed and twisted gently by the weak night wind.

The snow floats and dances like dust.

There was no sign of human beings.

The wind suddenly grew stronger, making one feel that evil spirits would rush out from the deep darkness at any moment.

Once night falls, this forest will be shrouded in such a gloomy atmosphere.

In the twilight forest.

Morikawa Yoshi began to feel something was wrong.

Because he couldn't find any trace of Eiko Araki.

Shinki Eiko's steps were so fast that she didn't seem like a normal person, as if... a ghost.

At this time, Morikawa Yoshi couldn't help but think of ghosts and gods.

Although he was not afraid of killing people, because he had killed so many people, he believed in ghosts and gods more than ordinary people.

Morikawa Yoshi thought that he was led into the mountains by an evil spirit.

Although he also had talismans and other things on him, he didn't want to see ghosts.

Just as he was about to return along the same route, he discovered that the rope that was supposed to be tied around his waist was missing.

Morikawa Yoshi's face changed drastically.

He understood that the Araki Eiko he saw was definitely not a human.

Thinking this way, Morikawa Yoshi prepared to save himself.

However... when he lowered his head again, Morikawa Yoshi's expression became even more terrifying.

The outer coat that was originally used to keep warm disappeared in an instant.

In the winter forest, the cold penetrates into the bone marrow.

I looked up and saw darkness ahead;

Looking back, there was still darkness behind.

Darkness shrouded me on all sides, and I didn't know which way was home.

Morikawa Yoshi realized...

He will die here.

No... he can't die, how could he die?

There are so many beautiful souls with him, and in order to keep them alive in his body, he has to live.

He began to mutter, calling out the name of each "victim".

He was very pious and believed that these souls were with him. He believed that by eating their flesh, these "victims" became his strength and their souls were with him.

While praying devoutly, he randomly chose a direction and began to carefully observe the surrounding scenery, preparing to seek a way to survive here.

I have been working in this forest for many years.

Yoshi Morikawa has more than just the tools he carries with him.

Now, the tools are gone because of the coat, but his will to survive is still strong.

……

Early morning hours.

The winter sky is still dark.

Shuyue was wearing a yukata from the hot spring hotel, with her hands flat on the edge of the balcony, as if looking at the scenery outside.

The sky was now clear blue.

The trees in Aokigahara Forest are nourished by the snow, and every leaf blooms brilliantly under the lingering moonlight.

In the distance, Mount Fuji covered in snow comes into view.

A flock of snow-white birds flew across the sky.

As far as the scenery is concerned, this is a very beautiful and peaceful landscape painting.

A thoughtful and serious expression flickered across Shuyue's face.

Suddenly, a pair of delicate hands appeared from behind and hugged Shuyue's still small and slender waist.

The man behind him was much taller than him and almost held Shuyue in his arms.

Feeling the "size" behind him, Shuyue immediately knew her identity.

"Sayuri, are you awake?"

Shuyue spoke casually, as if whispering to herself.

Shinki Sayuri rested her slender chin on Shuyue's shoulder and said softly, "...I just had a terrible nightmare."

Shuyue kept his eyes on the front. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Nightmare?"

"Yes...a nightmare." Araki Sayuri rubbed Shuyue's cheek from behind and whispered, "I dreamed that you, Yui and I were walking in a strange place, and Yui kept talking to me."

"Before I knew it, you disappeared. Yui and I searched for you everywhere. No matter where we went or whoever we asked, we could find traces of you, but we couldn't find you."

As she spoke, she rubbed her hands over Shuyue's body.

Shuyue narrowed her eyes slightly.

All I could hear was Sayuri Araki continuing, "In that dream, we called out your name. We walked through all the possible paths in the dream, but we couldn't find you. As a result, I woke up in shock."

Shuyue raised his hand and covered the hand that was holding him in Shinmu Sayuri's arms.

Shinki Sayuri said with a slightly choked voice: "Shuyue, can you promise me that you will say hello before you go somewhere in the future?"

"Well... I will." Shuyue played with Araki Sayuri's fingers and chuckled, "Unless there is really no way to tell you, I will definitely tell you where I'm going."

"Hey, you two, aren't you cold? How come you left me behind while you were hanging out on the balcony so early in the morning?" Kanda Yui's dazed voice came from the inner room.

Shuyue turned around and smiled, "Since everyone is up, hurry up and pack up. Let's go have breakfast."

"Ah~ Shuyue, I haven't stuck enough." Araki Sayuri whispered softly.

"Put it on after you eat. You have to go to school tomorrow." Shuyue said.

Upon hearing this, both girls let out whimpering grunts.

In order not to keep Shuyue waiting, the two girls dressed quickly.

Because they are still children, makeup will have a certain impact on their physical development, so they are all in a natural state at this time.

There are some requirements for clothing, but since I have prepared in advance, it doesn’t take too much time.

Soon, the three of them were sitting around a table in the hotel buffet restaurant.

The meals were all the same, with almost a standard menu and the dishes were similar to yesterday's.

With the experience of selecting from the previous day, Sayuri Shinki and Yui Kanda accurately selected delicious dishes.

The three of them sat harmoniously around a table eating breakfast, secretly discussing something.

"That man didn't come yesterday." Araki Sayuri wiped her mouth gracefully with a napkin.

Kanda Yui pushed the juice in front of Shuyue, glanced at Shinki Sayuri, and remained silent.

Shu Yue said quietly, "He's trying to survive in the wilderness of the forest."

Kanda Yui's pretty face turned gloomy, "Not dead?"

"Well, not yet..." Shuyue said with some surprise: "But, I probably won't be able to hold on for much longer..."

At this moment, Shuyue is sharing the view with the birds in Aokigahara Forest.

Morikawa Yoshi is truly the "scavenger" that this world has spawned.

It looks very weak, and its ability to survive is comparable to that of a cockroach.

Shinki Eiko used time stop to specifically take away the rope that Morikawa Yoshi used as a mark, his warm coat, and all the tools inside the clothes.

In such a cold and disorienting forest.

A normal person can't survive more than a few days.

Chapter 105 Call the Police Later

last night.

Tamako Kanda drove home overnight and delivered all the books related to Morikawa Yoshi to the hotel.

These books gave Kanda Yui and Araki Sayuri a basic understanding of what kind of person Morikawa Yoshi was.

I read Morikawa Yoshina's world-famous "Cannibalism Tour" and local reports.

Kanda Yui and Araki Sayuri were both very surprised.

Morikawa Yoshi is short in stature. When he was studying abroad, he confessed his love to many people but to no avail. However, there were female classmates who did not dislike him and were willing to be friends with him.

He killed that female classmate and ate her alive...

In Morikawa Yoshi's opinion, the dead will not refuse him.

Later, in order to prove that he was a mental patient, Yoshi Morikawa made a lot of shocking remarks in the local court.

But such a person is now living well in Japan, enjoying a paradise-like life every day and making money by writing crime novels.

The most terrifying thing is that even someone like Yoshi Morikawa has a huge fan base.

What happened to this world?

Regardless of whether Morikawa Yoshi really murdered the fans who came to see him after checking into the hotel.

It is also a known fact that Morikawa Yoshi once killed a female classmate, desecrated the corpse and ate it.

Because of him, Sayuri Araki and Yui Kanda had no meat in their meals this morning. They gave the meat to Shuyue, and they themselves might not be able to eat for a while.

When I think back to the pictures I saw last night, I have no appetite at all.

Kanda Yui and Araki Sayuri felt depressed at the thought that they might become as miserable as the corpse in the picture.

Shuyue didn't comment much on this.

Only Shuyue and Araki Eiko herself know exactly who Morikawa Yoshi is and what the meaning of his existence is.

However, Shuyue will not explain this to Kanda Yui and Araki Sayuri.

"We've been soaking in the hot springs all day. Do you want to continue today?"

Shuyue calmly changed the subject.

Shinki Sayuri's eyes turned and she said, "Actually, we don't have to take a hot spring bath. As long as we're together with Shuyue, we can do anything."

"Shuyue, are you feeling bored with the hot springs and want to try something else? I'm all for it, even sex is fine~"

Shuyue glanced at Shinmu Sayuri and said nothing.

Kanda Yui whispered, "Shuyue, is this about work? Do you need to rush the manuscript for the comic series?"

Shuyue shook her head and said, "I've already submitted the manuscript in advance, there's no rush."

Araki Sayuri chuckled, "Then relax for another day."

"But I have to go home tonight because I have to go to school tomorrow," Shuyue continued.

"Hey~ take us back too." Araki Sayuri stuck close to Shuyue again.

In the past, Shuyue might have used some reasonable excuses to reject Araki Sayuri's excessive closeness.

But today is different from the past.
