“Lei Yin, why did you bring us to a place like this?” Ailin asked in confusion.After dinner, Masashi had brought them to a poor area.“Miss, you haven’t forgotten, have you? Your passport was taken by those guys. If you don’t make a new one, how are you going to board the plane?”“But is there enough time?” The mixed-race beauty only now remembered this issue.“As long as you have money, there’s enough time. When we go inside, don’t say anything—leave it all to me,” Masashi said,…

Notably, to take care of the ditzy young girl, Masashi suggested that Rumi move in with them. With Rumiko’s silent consent, Rumi joyfully moved into Masashi’s new place. To avoid complications, Masashi advised Rumi to tell anyone who asked that Rumiko was a distant relative temporarily staying there. Although the explanation was a bit flimsy and late, it was better…

Everything happened in an instant. All they saw was Masashi suddenly stand up, make a quick movement with his hand, and then deliver a swift kick to Maruo. Just like that, the infamous Tokyo Ripper lay motionless on the floor. The process was so simple and fast it felt almost surreal.“You must have been terrified. It’s over now,” Masashi gently stroked Kazumi and Rumi’s faces.The two girls stared at him, and tears began streaming down their faces.After he freed them, the two girls clung to Masashi,…

When she opened the door, she was surprised to see Police Officer Maeda Ryutaro, who hadn’t visited in a while.“Hello, Mr. Maeda,” Rumiko greeted, surprised.“Hello, Miss Rumiko. I’m here to help with the move. Are you ready?” Maeda smiled.“How did you know we were moving?”Just as Maeda was about to respond, Masashi came out, glanced at him, and said, “Oh, you’re…

When it was Masashi’s turn, Maruo asked him, “Gennai, do you have any last words? You may not get another chance.”“I actually have two pieces of bad news for you,” Masashi replied, saying something that puzzled Maruo.“Oh? And what might that be?” Maruo was curious to see what tricks Masashi had up his sleeve.“The first bad news is that you might not get the chance to carry out that pointless ritual.”“What do you mean?” Maruo’s expression turned cold.“Can’t you hear it?”“Hear…

“There’s one thing I don’t understand—how did you know about me?” Masashi asked, as he had only ever shared this information with Maeda Ryutaro, making it unlikely that anyone else would know.“I don’t really need to answer that,” Maruo replied, adjusting his glasses, “but since the ritual can’t start until midnight, I suppose I can give you this as a parting gift.Actually, I didn’t know about you at first. But I have a very capable younger brother who often hacks into various systems.…

“That was amazing, like magic! How did you do it?” Sakurako looked at him in astonishment.“Why don’t you pick a card? Remember it, and don’t let me see it.”Sakurako selected a card from the spread, carefully glanced at it, and placed it back. Then, she shuffled the deck.“Are you done?”Sakurako nodded.Masashi placed the deck on the back of his hand and said to Sakurako, “The deck is all mixed up, so finding that card again would be impossible.
