Chapter 12  

Welcome to my darkside

After the message was delivered,

Split Four gracefully saluted and his figure once again disappeared into the

darkness.

Ichiyo Higuchi licked  the corners of his somewhat dry mouth and said

in a lowered voice, "Boss, the words just now ...."

"Of course I heard everything."Ogai

Mori voice came from the headset, "I never had any doubts about the fact that

Ms. Tokisaki could complete the mission, in the end the purpose of this mission

was simply to find out what she was capable of, I originally thought that we

would get nothing tonight, but now it seems that we are still lucky."

"She just said please make a

handover with the main body, does that mean that the one that just appeared in

front of us was a doppelganger?"

"That's probably it, vanish into

the shadows, move instantly, read memories, and create a doppelganger, so far

Ms. Tokisaki has shown four different abilities."Ogai Mori said with interest, "Just

what kind of psychic ability is it that can grant a psychic these four almost

unrelated abilities? Or is she just making it up?"

By this time, Ichiyo Higuchi had

also dispelled her inner suspicion of Tokisaki Kurumi.

She also didn't feel that the

doppelganger that had just appeared was lying, after all, she was going to make

a personal trip to the factory next, so lying was simply useless.

Taking a deep breath, Ichiyo

Higuchi took a step and carefully walked towards the factory.

Dark moon and windy night.

Heavy leaden clouds blocked the

silver light cast by the curved moon, plunging the entire land into darkness.

The outskirts of Yokohama were

lifeless, like an abandoned and deserted place, filled with deadness and

coldness.

The biting night wind that blew

in through the collar was like being cut by the scythe of death, taking away

the slightest bit of life's heat.

In the darkness, Higuchi almost

lost sight of what was in front of him, so he took out the flashlight he had

brought along with him before he could see the road again.

Arriving at the factory gate, Ichiyo

Higuchi saw a stunning young girl in a gorgeous dress standing quietly at the

door, waiting for her arrival.

"Ms. Higuchi, I have

investigated the information you wanted."

Tokisaki Kurumi looked as

elegant as ever, not seeing the slightest bit of fatigue or wretchedness, not

like someone who had just completed a mission.

Behind her, the sound of

something heavy being dragged came.

Ichiyo Higuchi slightly raised

her flashlight and let the light into the factory, barely providing some vision.

When she looked behind Tokisaki Kurumi,

her pupils couldn't help but contract slightly.

Inside the factory, four people

who looked exactly like Tokisaki Kurumi were dragging the people in the

factory, making them put their backs against the wall and clearing a path.

However, these people did not

resist in the slightest, as if they had fainted.

"Care much for them?"

Seemingly noticing Ichiyo

Higuchi line of sight, Tokisaki Kurumi said indifferently, "These people are

all employees in this factory, so you port mafia can just deal with them."

"I understand, we will interrogate them."

"Interrogate? There's no need, I

already have all the information."Tokisaki Kurumi shook his head, "This is a

gang from Kansai, a stronghold set up by the Konoha Alliance in Yokohama, it is

also a factory for the production of drugs, they want to expand their business

here, and this factory is their first test."

Afterwards, Tokisaki Kurumi

handed over some information in her hand, "These are the addresses of the small

drug trafficking strongholds in Yokohama, as well as evidence of some

organizations that have private dealings with the Konohagakure Alliance, and I'm

confident that you'll be able to deal with what comes next."

"Ms. Tokisaki, you've done an

excellent job of investigating, so leave the next matters to us."Ichiyo Higuchi

glanced at Tokisaki Kurumi in slight surprise, "Drug trafficking in Yokohama

only leads to death, this is one of the iron rules of the port mafia, and we

won't allow anything that jeopardizes the city."

"After all, fighting against the

black forces as black forces is the duty of the harbor mafia then."Tokisaki Kurumi

nodded in understanding, "Then, I'll leave the next matter to you."

"Of course, since we already

know the information we need, they have no value."Ichiyo Higuchi said indifferently, "We'll send someone to kill them afterward, you don't need to dirty your hands."

"Dirty ....my hands?"

At those words, a wacky smile

appeared at the corner of Tokisaki Kurumi's mouth.

A low chuckle also came from the

Bluetooth headset linked to Mori outside.

Ichiyo Higuchi's insides

tightened, wondering what he had said wrong.

"Hear that, us?"

Tokisaki Kurumi twisted his head

to look at the doppelgangers in the factory, the corners of his mouth lifting up in an unconcealed smile, "Hear that? Ms. Higuchi said we don't need to dirty our hands."

Behind Tokisaki Kurumi, those

equally poised young girls couldn't help but let out a light laugh as well.

That laughter was clearly clear

and moving, as if it was a clear spring in a valley, instinctively soothing the restless hearts of others.

But for some reason, when their

laughter was intertwined together, it was as if it was endowed with the power to freeze the soul, making Ichiyo Higuchi feel like falling into an ice cave.

The noble and elegant maidens

were transformed into ghosts and monsters who killed people for fun in the darkness at this moment, conveying a playful gaze to each other.

The leaden clouds in the sky

that blocked the moonlight slowly moved away, letting the meager silver light

spill out onto the earth.

As a result, Higuchi Ichiyo saw

strands of white hair moving in the wind under the moonlight, as well as an old

and dried up corpse that looked like a human stem.

It was like a legendary monster

that had been drained of its life and essence, and all that was left was this twilight body.

When Higuchi Ichiyo got a clear

view of the factory, her pupils contracted violently and she couldn't help but

take a step back.

She felt as if she had intruded

into a vampire's lair, a pair of bright red and golden eyes lit up in the

darkness, staring at her as if they would pounce on her at any moment to suck

her, the lamb, into oblivion.

At this moment, Ichiyo Higuchi

finally realized what Ogai Mori had said.

They weren't some kind of young

ladies who grew up in an ivory tower, they were clearly the embodiment of evil,

the purest evil in this world!

Monsters worse than Akutagawa

Ryunosuke!

Real monsters!

"What's wrong, Ms. Higuchi, your

face doesn't look very good."

With a strong sense of concern, Tokisaki

Kurumi took a step closer to her, as if to check her condition more closely.

Ichiyo Higuchi face stiffened and she forced a few words out from between her teeth, "I ....I'm fine ...."

How could she not understand what mistake she had made?

This innocent and concerned expression was merely Tokisaki Kurumi' disguise, underneath this charming skin, there was a bloodthirsty and brutal monster hidden.

And himself, he actually spent so much time with such a monster in a closed car?

Even treating her as a young girl and worrying about her future?

Thinking back to the smile that showed at the corner of Tokisaki Kurumi mouth in the car, I'm afraid that it wasn't out of politeness, but rather a smile filled with mockery and playfulness.

Ichiyo Higuchi body went cold all over.

"Really, that's good."Tokisaki Kurumi

said with a faint smile, "My mission ends here, so please tell Mr. Mori for mm that I will meet him at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

And Ichiyo Higuchi didn't say a word, she was already dominated by fear, and to still be able to stand her ground was an amazing feat of perseverance.

"Then let's go."

Communicating instructions to the doppelgangers inside the factory, the doppelgangers drilled into Tokisaki Kurumi

shadow one by one.

"I'll leave the debriefing to you, I'm sure you can tell Mr. Mori what happened here, right?"

Seeing Ichiyo Higuchi nod stiffly, Tokisaki Kurumi then smiled, "That would be great, see you next time,Ms. Higuchi."

Owing slightly, Tokisaki Kurumi bid her farewell and disappeared.

When she was gone, the heavy air eased only slightly, and Ichiyo Higuchi fell to her knees as she breathed in the cold air with a big gulp.

The cold wind of the night had taken away almost every bit of warmth from her body, leaving her cold and shivering slightly.

But the wariness that came from

her soul did not come from the cold.

Over the headphones, Ogai Mori compassionate words came.

"It's really hard on you."
