The story line will be continuing in the same scenarios in the Anime. Half on the explanations of episode 3. Well, that should be an enough description, so I hope you guys will enjoy this~
Kei's POV...
Morning had arisen and I have woken up early than usual. Well I cant argue on my case, since a lot of things happened. The talk of the world, knowing my existence as an Ajin. The frightening thrills and exhausting chase from dangerous men. And the night after saving two unconscious teenagers. I still don't know if they're a threat but that'll come in time. Though it all happened so fast. The truck, my sudden accident. My first death. And my miraculous recovery from the dead.
I don't know if I can take this all behind me, even the thought of dying was beyond my limits of handling, I even resort to kill myself in order to heal my fractured legs. Still I can remember it so clearly. Kai was surprised to see me walking back up from the dead. His golden eyes tainted with surprise, almost not believing what he saw. But speaking about those two, are they awake yet?
Slowly rising from my rest place, I turned to the corner beds, looking upon two figures, snoring soundly without a hinge of pause. Guess they're still asleep then.
However though, it seems I wasn't the only one who woke up this early, Kai himself had prepared breakfast and was out again to get some needed items to go to Kyushu. Before saving the two that night, Kai and I decided to go there. Starting a new life, living peacefully with his grandfather. Since its a small village, according to him, they won't matter about Ajins living there plus even if the news had broadcasted about my payment capture, they won't know a thing how I look like. In that place, they have a minimum way of technology, no way of signal and no way of being found out, with that covered my identity is secured. But..
"Is there anything you want me to bring?" Kai asked me, his eyes never helding animosity towards me, but a kind and concerned look in his golden eyes. I took a pause on my thoughts and answered.
"a..toothbrush.." I don't know why I said that, but having high hygiene is a must. I bathe normally and brushing my teeth seemed normal for me to do.
"Ok.." he thrust a duffel bag on his shoulder, walking towards the door, sliding it with a creaking sound. But before he go, he lit up a smile towards me, assuring that I got nothing to worry, "I'll be back Kei.." and off he goes, hearing the motorcycles engine as it drove off. It was a peaceful silence as the sound vanish, natures songs surrounds the shed I was in. Birds was chirping in happy glee and the rustle of trees and bushes accompanying. Awaiting for his return, I sat at the corners ones more, my hands hugging my knees close to my chest, as my upcoming thoughts had risen in its wake for me to think about.
I've been thinking about death almost all day. Its not weird for me to hallucinate at this point but..Im not losing my head, right?
I don't know if my mind is playing tricks on me or I have gone insane but this black, humanoid thing. Its been staring at me since I woke up and who knew I held back a gasp when I saw it. Well, this reason out why I woke up and taking this to note, Kai doesn't seem to notice it. Just what is this thing? Its even replying the words I'm saying.
Could this be one of the special abilities of an Ajin? I'm not certain enough that it is..
Hesitating I was to touch it, it vanished like sand. Disappeared from thin air. Like the dark ash of death as it dissipates out of nothingness. I wasn't sure how to react at this however, I let out an exhausted sigh, not only have I gone crazy, my head is throbbing me with a lot of things now. Debating the cause and effects as well as the aftermath of what could happen next.
In any case, I should think what I'll do from now on. To begin with, I cant bring Kai with me. Thats more than clear and thats out of the question if I want to get out of this mountain. Whats more, we have two strangers healing themselves up. They could pretend to sleep and capture me if thats whats going on. But those injuries...
While changing my stained clothes, I look back at the two, they shifted but they don't seem to intend to wake up. Or rather bother to do an act and just continued on their rest. The rooted blonde wasn't doing much however the white haired was shifting uncomfortably. Twitching and shaking and muttering words of horror.
I closed my eyes, all those signs adds up. He must be having nightmares then. But I'll never know what he's dreaming about however it's not like I'll pry on it.. So then I focused back in my thoughts. I sighed as I now fully dressed.
Looking fine and refreshed, I look about on their things, since I didn't fully inspect what they bought with them last night. It might contain something useful or something about them that could be a threat.
I looked down at the rooted blonde. I rambled on in his pockets only finding three items: a notebook, pen and wallet. Reading the contents of his notebook all I could find are names of people and their contact numbers and kinds of connection that I myself cant quite comprehend. His wallet only contains a credit card, 1500 yen and a student ID. Hideyoshi Nagachika. He was a college student in Kamii University. We could use his money, but stealing is against my policy.
Still what weirded me out was the white gun he had. It felt heavy when I tried to carry it, almost like the weight of a loaded gun though, this is obviously a toy gun, so no threat in his side.
Next, I motioned my eyes to the mysterious white haired. Unlike the blonde, who wears some type of military cosplay, he mostly took my attention. He was wearing all black and half of his clothes were cut off for no reason. Leaving his flesh skin out, despite the bandage I folded in his shoulder and abdomen. However, even when he had shorts, he has no pockets. After thinking that he had nothing, I noticed something black underneath the white haired.
Slowly and cautiously reaching towards it, I carefully took it, a leather feeling soon was grasp in my fingers. It was a mask and a weird one at that. Leather mask with an eyepatch. What a cool design but whats with the zipper in its mouth piece? Looking very closer to this, its like an asylum monster.
Taking a slight look at some parts, I began to sigh. Looking into any of this isnt going to help. So then I focused back in my thoughts.
The only thing thats left to do is to talk to another Ajin. If I can talk to one, maybe I can get some information. Nevertheless, in this country there are only 2 Ajin of which 1 has already been caught by the gover-..no there must be more..
I stood up from the thought, walking about the room, not that loudly so the two boys could rest at ease.
According to the Ministry of Health, labor and welfare, the annual rate of deaths in Japan is greater than a million. Two people die per minute. There must be a hidden Ajin. If I can find them, I'll know how to survive without humans. The only problem is how to get in contact with them..
"Kei, Im back"
The voice cut through my thoughts and I immediately looked back. Kai was carrying a now heavy duffel bag, full of the needed items we needed.
"Oh, welcome back" I lowly said, as I saw him enter fully and closed the door. He threw the bag down and began rummaging its contents.
"Hows the two..?" he asked, lifting some can foods out, laying it down one by one.
"Them?" I gist, turning to Kai, "They're still asleep.."
"hmm" Kai hummed, now taking out some other items, "Lets rest until the night.." he suggested, taking out some unused tools. I doubt we'll even need that, but its best to be safe than sorry so I'm sure he has a reason for bringing it, "Lets take turns each hour.."
I nodded to his claim, "sure"
"Ah, I forgot. Here" Kai rummaged in the bag and threw an object to me. When I catch it, its familiar stick like object was in my hands. It was a toothbrush. The toothbrush I asked for.
Before I could mutter up a 'thank you' just then, as if on que, yawns filled the abandoned shed followed by an awoken start. Me and Kai looked at each other, giving each a nod. The two are finally awake. By then, I should prepare. It is time to question these two whether they're a threat or not.
"Where...are we?" An audible voice spoke.
Hide's POV...
"Stop talking nonsense and answer our questions.." As soon as we woke up, two guys were up front us, questioning us out of the blue. I dont know who they are but I can describe them. One was blonde and the other was black haired. Odd he somewhat reminds me of Kaneki, how shy and known bookish nerd for a friend however his dark red eyes differentiate to Kaneki's grey. But speaking of Kaneki, there he was clueless as I was. I look down on his bandage appearance. One on his shoulders and another around his abdomen, stained with blood. I look at my hand they were wrapped in bandages as well as my ankle. Surprised, I looked straight at them.
Did this guys saved us?
My quinque gun isn't with with me, so its likely they took it while we were unconscious. I sighed however my sigh meant a different meaning.
"Before we do that," I said, "can you tell us where this place is..the country maybe?"
"Are you making fun of us?" obviously knowing that we were Japanese.
"N-Not on purpose!" I defended, but my eyes turned to a serious vibe, "But were really serious here.."
"Alright, were in up the mountains of.." his companion answered in his place, telling us the area we're in however leaving out a few details which part of the forest were in. Still the prefecture and region area, I uttered a word, realizing this info.
"So were still in Japan huh.." Hold on a minute here. Weren't me and Kaneki just...? wait- what happened? There was a fight then..a door. The door! Me and Kaneki were swallowed in and..no, this is too much to question..
"Japan?" the black haired quizzed, almost not finding my words convincing enough, "Of course you are. Are you guys not from this district?"
Back in reality, I lightly chuckled, "Hehe, you can say that. We actually came from Tokyo.." I honestly replied.
With his fingers on his chin, the black haired muttered in surprise, "Tokyo, huh.." as if talking to himself, in a low matter of speaking, "So thats why they're clothes looks weird then.." Our clothes? Kaneki's clothes kinda took the weird part and thats understandable but cant they see that I'm in my CCG military suit?
"Woah. Thats the center isn't it?" the blonde noted. I nodded in return, "Hows life there?"
"Well, you know the usual happenings.." I answered, attempting to make them understand what I meant, "Crimes, latest trends and hey, I work from the CCG!" I confidently introduced but only to find them getting curious and confuse gazes. Odd, was there something I said? Kaneki also found this odd as well. CCG should be popular around the regions of Japan, right?
The two of them look at each other, as if finding an answer among them, till the black haired instead responded. "CCG?" he questioned, all signs and features adding up a completely unknowledgeable look, as if he never heard of it before. Maybe this region hasn't known CCG yet? No..somethings not right. My gut is telling me not to give too much in details but my minds urging me words from far behind. Ok then, how about this..
"Oh! thats just an.." trying to correct my words, I continued, "..famous company around Tokyo. Its really well known. Clients normally comes to us.." I hope this is an enough info.
"I see.." in an understanding look, the black haired nodded, "so how did you guys ended up here?" he questioned again, looking quietly towards me. Those dark red eyes he bared, he's suspecting us.
"That..well.." I cant tell him leisurely about that. In fact, I couldn't believe it as well. If these guys doesn't know CCG then this only leaves us that they haven't encountered a ghoul in this region. Saying this, I cant just broadly say that 'we fought a ghoul and out of nowhere, a huge and magical door sucked us in..' Its too illogical that no one would believe in such a reason. In exhaustion, I sighed. Readying my words, hoping that this would convince our situation. But, before I could say a word, Kaneki took the conversation.
"..To be honest, we dont know.." he claimed in the most calmed tone, "We are partners at CCG, doing regular basis and what not. Just then, some strange men took us. So I have to save my buddy from harm" he gestured his hand towards me. I'm amaze how Kaneki thought of this from such little time. "And the next thing we knew, while trying to run away from our captors, we hid inside the forest, which should be the mountain were probably residing in and I guess, that must be how you guys found us.."
"Huh..so he can talk.." the blonde jeered
"Talkative as well.." the black haired noted
Kaneki's POV...
Stating the fake story, my nose began to pick up something. I quietly looked at the blonde then to the black haired. There's a strange scent coming out of his body. A kind of cooked meat but in a mixed dusty form, almost like roasted, coated in coal. Now this is a weird way of a scent I've ever laid my nose on. However, it's a fact that this guy isn't human. Just what is he? A Ghoul perhaps? but he doesn't smell like one..
"This is a problem.." Among my thoughts, the blonde released an exhausted sigh, "but since were in the same boat. Do you wanna join us..?"
Same boat..?
"But before you do answer, I wanna make sure of something.." the black haired spoke, staring suspiciously at us, "are you guys an Ajin? Recently there are rumors that an Ajin live in Tokyo.."
Me and Hide looked at each other a quizing look and in unison, we both questioned.
"Ajin?"
"Wait..you guys seriously dont know about Ajins..?"
Thinking that this might be a delicate topic, Me and Hide didn't say much, yet without knowing whats going to happen next, we decided to follow them. After the questionings of our origin, and sudden join of a chase, me and Hide started to talk about our current situation as the two boys, who we learned, Kai and Kei, went out for a sec to discuss our part of the story.
But there's something more interesting. From where and what we stumbled on, we are somehow in a world where, instead of Ghouls, Ajins exist. And not only that, they're immortal beings, enough to withstand even death itself. I cant say it from a Ghouls case, since they can regenerate but immortal humans? Reviving from the dead? After encountering that strange door, I dont know what to comment to this nor give a view in all of this.
Looking back, Hide might have also been more surprise than I was. Knowing that our usual life of knowing Ghouls ended up with only Ajins. We asked if they heard of any cannibalism's on Tokyo but they never report of any. I can't believe I say this but we aren't in our world. The world me and Hide come to know of. Because of this, I can't think straight from all this.
"Hey Kaneki.." Hide lowly called, escaping from my own thoughts. I turn to look at him.
"Hmm..?" I questionably hummed in reply.
"Do you think we were transported to a different world?" he questioned, although its like he's questioning this to himself, "I'm starting to think that those isekai mangas I read are becoming true now.."
"..Isekai?" I questioned, "..Mangas?"
"Haha I thought a bookworm like you would know.." he chuckled, "but I guess you would go by with words instead of pictures.." I didn't laugh along yet only uttered a question.
"..what do you think we should do then..?" I asked him and in an instant, his chuckle soon died after.
"For now..." he thought for a moment, looking up the wooden ceiling, "lets cooperate and see what'll take us, alright Kaneki..?" he closed his eyes, and actioned his hands behind his head, and started to yawn.
I didn't question nor answered him any further as his eyes was deep shut letting sleep conquer him. Then, as seconds pass by, silence only surrounds us even closer. The birds gently chirping outside and the summer heat lightly glowing outside, I can hear the soft wave from a river not miles from here, inviting us in the sound of nature. The peaceful atmosphere, almost like nothing could hurt us in this little abandoned small shed. But I wouldn't think that too easily.
The black haired boy, Kei Nagai, was an Ajin and according to their story, they are being chase by people that sees a price on his capture, and adding to that, he's now known as the second Ajin ever to be known in Japan. The first one was already captured, if what I heard was right and is currently being experimented on. I stared through space.
Being experimented on huh? I pity the poor boy if ever he was captured. However, I should focus on about our current situation.
But upon this, I always thought Hide would be afraid of me, knowing that I was a Ghoul. Its true that Im a half but thats still a Ghoul inside. Was he ignoring this? Or did he think I could still be his friend like we used to?
No- I just cant. I eat people now. I cant be with him like this. But it goes to show that our situation need each other to survive this other world, I have no better choice but to be with him and get ourselves back to our original world.
Kei's POV...
The sun was beginning to fall down the horizons and not a seconds pass, Kai was already asleep. Looks like he needed that rest more than I do. I dont really wanna wake him up, but I need something from him one last time and call it my last good bye.
"Kai.." I lowly spoke to him and crouch down, "Thank you" I look right at him, till I found his cell phone in his pocket. I slowly reached my hand over it and slowly trying to take it out without Kai feeling it. During this, a sudden voice shocked me.
"..Hey.."
The phone went straight in the air due to my surprise.
But no crash was heard.
I immediately looked back.
"I-Its you.." I stutterdly spoke. The rare white was there, a blank stare in his features. Kaneki Ken was his name along with his partner named Hideyoshi Nagachika. But I was shocked yet terrified at some point. He only stood there, holding the phone. I was glad he took a hold of it but in a different way, I was annoyed.
"..Your planning to run away?" he asked lowly, trying not to wake anyone up.
"its none of your business.." I mumbled bitterly and stood up, eyeing the rare white suspiciously.
He went silent but his cold stares didn't change. Those grey eyes he bared were so lifeless and empty but among our staring competition, he released a sigh.
"...Your right..." he finally spoke, "it doesn't.." and threw the phone towards me, I took action, catching the phone, "..but wouldn't your friend here worry?" he motioned his eyes down at Kai, I followed his stares and looked down. I clutched at the phone tightly.
"Between you and me.." I solemnly spoke, "I don't want him to get in danger just by-"
"You being an Ajin?" I froze in shock to his claim, while that, he walk pass me but stopped at the side near me, allowing me to pass by the door. He began to lowly continuing his words.
"..I'll say this once, being alone is simply horrid to bare.."
A cold sweat run down on me. I can feel those piercing gaze, looking behind me, and the words he spoke almost had venom in them. Threatening me in some way. I was drugged in fear, hypnotizing me to listen to this.
"..It will just get you even deeper than where your standing right now.."
Being a little scared, I almost thought that I could no longer breath but my conscience slowly took over my composure as I was immediately brought back. My confidence slowly returning. My mouth finally remembering to say words. I gulp hard and looked back at him, our eyes gazing at each grey and red, I muster up my courage and spoke my words out, stuttering in between, "You...a-are you an Ajin?"
He sighed again in response, "..I'm highly different than you.." That left a chill in me. The tone of his words were very cold and sinister but that only left me in questioning even more.
Highly different..?
For a second there, I thought I saw something red on his eye. "However, are you going?" this time his tone had a curious question mark but at the same time, it had a tint of an emotion I cant decipher in them. I scratch the back of my neck. Getting confused yet answered my resolve.
"I..I made up my mind.." I looked away from his gaze and grit my teeth, "I have to. I need to. Don't tell anyone. Could you keep this a secret?" my gaze on him began to soften, "Please.."
"..I haven't said my thanks on your behalf of saving us that night and it might be rude of me to not give you any in return.." he began and held his bandaged neck, "But since you ask for me. This secret. I will keep it as promised.."
His words, I was surprised to hear this from him, it didn't hide an malicious intent nor any ill will. For the first time ever, I released a relief smile despite the unemotional stares he's been giving me.
"Thanks.." I lowly spoke, walking out of the shed, "Well, this is goodbye. Don't look for me.." He didn't respond as I carried my feet out of the cottage.
..Their story. I wasnt far conviced. Who would be in the right world if they dont know what an Ajin is till now? That must've been the stupidest excuse I have ever heard. However, the blonde, Hideyoshi, had the looks of uncertainty while the white haired Kaneki had the most neutral expression that I can't decipher what he's thinking. Over all, I can't tell what they're thinking.
I look back only to see him at the door. I turned back again and continued walking, my mind beginning to cloud thoughts.
I still can't tell if he's an Ajin or not, however, if he is and owe us from saving him and his friend, my doubts about Kai's danger won't be a problem, thus I won't worry. Now time for the real plan to start.
To start things, lets get back to the topic at hand. Another way, to get in contact with an Ajin is through the internet. But for that, I need to use Kai's phone, which hasn't been discovered yet. But thats not the only reason why I need his phone. The other reason is that its possible that there are other Ajin looking for me. If so...Maybe I could become friends with them..
While walking over the hill, Ka's phone began to rang. That surprised me.
..Who could be calling me..?
Looking very closely, i saw a name that catches my eye. Eriko-chan. So Kai still had my lil sisters number huh..
Thats it. Eriko. But it could also be the police. I dont think Eriko would snitch about Kai to the police but I still need to probe it.
Attempting to ignore the call, I waited till it automatically switched to voice message. That way, I'll find out who's calling me. If it was ignored then I'll know that the police was tracking me.
•))
e.
t o n e...
Here it comes..
[If its a human or an Ajin..] an anonymous male voice spoke on the other end of the line,
[..Have you see a Black Ghost?..]
Hearing the last end of the words. The Black Ghost. It was something thats been puzzling me. Questioning me of its origin and presence. That gigantic phantom, all wrapped ghastly in ashes and disappears like an actual ghost who was casted. Taking this into account, if this anonymous caller knows about these black ghosts, that could only leave to one thing. This is an Ajin I'm talking to. I shouldn't let this chance slip.
Wasting no time at all, I answered the call.
"Its Nagai.."
Kaneki's POV...
"He took the bike.." I found him using the motorbike as his transportation of escaping. The sounds of gas and speed engines were releasing faint noises from a far distance. I watched in a monotone stare, however I was submerged by troublesome thoughts.
"Now.. how can he keep his disappearance a secret then?"
Starting to debate whether, it would be a good time to tell the truth or tell a lie, I found myself walking back at the small shed.
How am I suppose to convince them about Kei's disappearance?
"Hey, your up early.." a blonde haired figure woke up, walking towards me. Stretching his bandaged arms up high, yawning in between. A cold sweat fell down on my cheek.
This is bad..
"You doing afternoon exercises Kaneki?"
"mm" I slowly nodded, but my mind was racing quickly at a tremendous speed.
..In times like this, how am I able to hide this from Hide, of all people? As his know best friend since elementary, he always figures things out when I'm hiding something, its like he can read me like an open book and honestly, I'm starting to doubt myself for being bad at lying. But maybe things will be different, I've been a Ghoul for quite a long time and have lied in kinds of occasions after my days with Aogiri...
"By the way, Kaneki.." Hide continued, snapping me back, "Have you seen that black haired kid? Kei Nagai..was it..?"
"Oh, well, I haven't seen him.." I shrugged, touching my chin, "I was outside jumping up the trees and-" but I was cut off immediately.
"Kaneki..." Hide gestured, crossing his arms, "stop lying.."
"..." I froze and silently stood there, trying to keep my composure in front of Hide while mentally screaming in my head for getting caught for two and a half sentences. Maybe I should rethink about my 'Bad at Lying' ability before making promises.
..Well... it looks like I've already broken the promise...too quickly..
Kei's POV...
Im currently at the meeting place as instructed by the call. In a not well visited shrine in a deserted town. Apparently, whom meeting with is a person named Satou.
If I could talk with another Ajin..eventhough they can't kill me, they could lock me. But for me, I have nothing left but to meet with them..
Taking a breathe moment, I walked up the stairs, getting nervous by the minute. Will I be in trouble? I got a bad feeling. However, theres no turning back from this, now that I've gone this far enough to even leave Kai's motorcycle somewhere. Saying this, I have no way back, nor any way of escaping. Nevertheless, if I see anything that goes a threat, I'll better head tails and make a run for it.
Since, theres a forest not far from here, I could loose them..
Stepping one last step, I continued on walking, till my vision could see the shrine. I saw two people. One was a ascot cap older man and a red jacket tall guy. By those minutes and while walking cautiously towards them, the red jacket tall guy made his move. I thought he was going to do something to me at that moment but when I glanced up again, what he did was a surprise. He stabbed the older man with a knife. Straight for the heart. Right in front of me.
He died but rapidly, soon woke up again like nothing happened. Is this their tactic of making me believe that they're Ajins? Whatever it is, its working.
"I thought that was the fastest way you would believe me.." The older man spoke, walking towards me with welcoming arms. This familiar voice, could he be Satou-san? If so, now I can proceed to examine them before I can trust them.
"I'll do it too.." I said, getting ready to show my part of the truth. I was hesitant about it, killing myself in front of them however, only to be stopped by him.
"No your famous.." he remarked then addressed his arm to the guy behind him, "And so is he.."
When I took a closer inspection of the red jacket man, a sudden realization struck me. I know this man..
"Tanaka?" I muttered, but only to be looked away. Guess he didn't like that..
The second Ajin in the whole country! There was no announcement but..he escaped? They're dangerous people..
Tanaka was glaring at me. I slightly fell aback, but kept my posture.
Why is he looking at me? I have a bad feeling about this..
"OK.." Satou-san clapped his hands, addressing me to listen, "Its time to get to the point. Just as I said on the phone. Were ready to help you. Everything else goes by your own.."
"Before that.." I formally stated, "I want to ask you three questions.."
"They don't have to be three. You can ask as much as you want.."
"First. I'd like to know about Eriko.."
"We freed her.." I stood visibly still. Which was either a surprise to me or dumbfounded in this situation.
They did? And here I thought they will ransom me to join them. But if she's safe...-no he must be tricking me...
"She should be on our way to the hospital right now.." he bid an apologetic action which really shocked me. The known etiquette of kneeling directly on the ground, bowing his head. It was a dogeza and its a apologetic one at that, which surprised me even more. I blinked a couple of times almost in a trance from what he did. I didn't expect this.
"I'm so sorry about what I did.." He continued, "I know this may seem like an excuse, but this was the only way to reach you. I definitely scared your little sister.."
I stuttered, "I-If she's alright then theres no problem. I was just worried. Raise your head, please.." and with that, Satou-san raised his head in a seating position.
"Im really sorry. Please continue with what your saying.." He gestured
"Yes. The second is about your daily life. I want to know how you live.."
"You've probably been victim of a lot of stuff since people discovered that you are an Ajin.."
"Yeah. Well..." I scratch my nape.
"However, I don't think that you should see all human beings as your enemies. 'To be more human than humans.' Thats my motto to live calmly, thats our daily life. Eventhough he doesn't agree too much with that.." He looks at Tanaka, then calmly looks back at me, "What is it that you want to do, Nagai-kun?"
I remember about Kai, how he saved me from the police and other series of misfortune. Including the two guys we saved. The blonde one was obviously human and on another side, he kinda reminds me of Kai but the white haired was an enigma. However, even so mentioning about this two strangers. They didn't once do anything to me. As told by Kai himself. We can trust others depending how desperate our situation was.
"Its true.." I uttered, "Its true that bad things have happened and its true that there are cruel humans.." Recollecting moments of my times with Kai and the two guys we saved. Even after hearing my story, they didn't once put a shred of animosity. Kai was so kind, he never once called me a monster.
"But as Satou-san. I don't want to see humans as enemies. I only want to live calmly and peacefully.." I answered as Satou-san sighed.
"I've understood exactly what you want, Nagai-kun. However, I want you to memorize this. I said that my motto is to live in peace. But things won't change if someone tries to trap you or torture you. In that moment, I'll make sure of my best strategy to get you back. As I did with him.." I raised a brow, my eyes in awe.
Maybe I can trust this person..
"So? Whats your third question?" he gestured
"Ah. Im sorry. Its about the Black Ghost.."
Then suddenly, we heard a firing sound. I turned my head up on the shrine. There it was, stabbed in its wood. A tranquilizer. I turned pale at the sight.
"Its a numbness bullet!" Satou-san confirmed
"The police!" I screeched in panic
"Watch out..Nagai-kun..!"
Unluckily, I got shot and almost instantly after getting shot, I fell down. My whole body counldnt move and my eyes are starting to become blurry.
"Nagai-kun! Wake up! Nagai-kun!"
"Satou-san...run.."
I hope they make it out alive..
