Kirigiri Novel Book 2

Chapter 3- Part 7 The Black Death of the Detective

After I stepped into the room, as soon as I released the handle, the door closed by itself. Looks like the door is equipped with an automatic lock.

I became a little frightened again, and tried to open the door, the door opened easily. That means the door can be opened and closed freely before the curfew arrives. It's just that if I open it during the curfew even accidentaly, I might get punished, so I closed the door again.

I observed the interior of the room.

The structure of this room isn't different from Nanamura's room we just saw. The concrete layer on the ceiling, the floor, on all four walls were there, and its gray color unites everything, to the point that it feels like even my mood have become gray.

There is nothing in this empty room, which is fine, the problem is that the cold is unbearable. If only I can block the iron barred window, it will be somewhat better.

I came inside the room and looked up at the barred window. The position of the window is about three heads higher than mine, and I can't look out through this window. Judging from the height, it should be almost 2 meters.

Just tuck the blanket inside the window.

I thought this, and I cast my eyes to the bed. I was about to get the blanket when I suddenly noticed near my feet.

The feet of the iron pipes bed are fixed to the floor with screws.

The bed cannot be moved. This should be to prevent us from using this bed as a barrier to prevent the murderer from entering. From this, I can feel the criminal's bad intentions, as if it was intentional to prevent us from guaranteeing absolute safety.

The only thing that can guarantee safety is the 'Detective Rights', maybe the criminal is just trying to make us think this way. Having said that, the door actually opens outward, it's hard to say whether the bed can act as a barrier... While I was jumping up and down by the window with the blanket in my hand, 10 PM finally came.

I didn't hear any siren, but the heavy sound of the door lock activating informed me of this moment.

At this moment, my whole body stiffened, even though I knew it was meaningless, I looked back at the door of the room.

—This is the time when the Murderer starts to act.

It feels like the atmosphere inside the entire building has changed.

The concrete walls suddenly emitted a faint chill, making the gray color in the room thicker and thicker. I can't hear the slightest of movements, it's as if all creatures all over the world are extinct... a terrifying silence.

10:01... 10:02...

I checked the door of the room. I shook it back and forth, but it didn't move at all.

It's really locked up...

I suddenly felt helpless.

Although I chose participat this time, I don't want to go through this horrible 'Black Challenge' anymore.

The murderer could open this door and come in at any moment.

The criminal, are they really among the people participating in the auction?

I remembered the report I read on the Internet before coming to this hotel. In the case mentioned in the report, it said that a guest living here suddenly went berserk, killing the other guests one after another. The man seemed to have hallucinationed, he thought 'someone attacked him from behind the wall'.

From behind the wall...

I suddenly got goosebumps. All four walls are watching me.

In fact, there are indeed people who are watching us, those rich people who watch the 'Black Challenges' for fun... No, there is something much more terrifying than that.
