The instant he jumped, the metal bat smashed down hard.

A huge force hit the dumpster, and the metal bat even released a vibrato!

Bang!!!

This guy really wants to kill me!

Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito's heart tightened. He barely managed to turn over trying to run away.

At such close proximity, he could even feel the gaze piercing his back like a sharp knife.

He took advantage of the light and saw the blood-curdling scene behind him that would make anyone scream.

With the lights behind him, the indifferent Kitagawa Tera raised the metal bat! The cruel and tyrannical aura pressed down on him like a boulder!

Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito quickly rushed forward.

Boom!!!

This heavy blow broke the asphalt pavement into big chunks!

"D-do you really want to kill me?!" The fear in Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito's heart finally crushed him.

The other party did not show much mercy with his attacks. If the bat hit him, being paralyzed would be basically the best ending.

He still had many days ahead, and he wanted to spend his life with Yuuki, so he could not just die here!

Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito suddenly heard Kitagawa Tera's cruel laughter behind him. "Hehe."

This guy is definitely a high school student murder! Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito regretted it. Why did I provoke Kitagawa Tera? This high school student is simply an abnormal existence!

Compared to Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito's complex thoughts, Kitagawa Tera's thoughts were much simpler.

The reward is gone, and Arano Ryoko will probably catch up soon. So what if I were to ruthlessly paralyze Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito? Keep this dangerous existence to harm the world?

The moment Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito was about to move, Kitagawa Tera ferociously smashed the bat in front of him.

His movements froze.

The decisive actions of the other party left no doubt in his mind that he really wanted to kill him.

Kitagawa Tera looked at Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito lying on the ground.

Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito was wearing a hoodie and a baseball cap.

What a typical suspicious outfit.

Kitagawa Tera did not hesitate for long. He raised the metal bat and faced Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito.

Looking at the face scrunched up in fear, he frowned. "I want to ask you a few questions."

"Ask me… a few questions?" Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito repeated stiffly, as though a block of ice was in his throat.

Kitagawa Tera was really too young.

He did not expect the maniac butcher with the metal bat to have such a bashful face.

Do I still have a chance then?

Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito's thoughts moved. A trace of evil thoughts emerged in his heart…

Kacha!!!!

"Ah!" Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito cried out miserably.

He really did not think that Kitagawa Tera would smash his calf with the bat!

Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito's body arched in pain, and his whole being curled up in pain like a cooked prawn.

"I want to ask you a few questions." The icy voice rang again in his ear.

Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito did not hesitate at all this time. He nodded hurriedly, expressing that he heard.

The cruel bat did not come down on him again.

Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito was really going crazy.

The person standing in front of him was like an executioner. He did things decisively, without giving him any time to react!

Do the students in Tokyo all behave like this nowadays?

"What's your name?" Kitagawa Tera asked calmly. "I give you five seconds to answer."

"I-Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito," Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito said, trembling with a head full of sweat.

It seems like simple dialogue can still be exchanged. Kitagawa Tera frowned slightly. Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito can feel fear and have the most basic conversation with me. He doesn't seem to suffer from mental illness, as speculated by Kamiya Mirai.

However, he had only asked him two questions and could not make causal conclusions.

Kitagawa Tera teased the metal bat and asked again after thinking, "What is your objective?"

"…" Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito hesitated momentarily.

Bang!!!

The bat fell.

Cold sweat quickly rolled down Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito's face.

Fortunately, Kitagawa Tera did not hit his other leg this time, but the ground not far from his leg.

Kitagawa Tera stared him down like a psychopath and raised the metal bat again, making Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito's whole body twitch.

He endured the fear in his heart and answered with chattering teeth, "Y-you're hindering me, so I have to get rid of you."

After hearing Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito's reply, Kitagawa Tera calmly pressed the bat against his injured leg and asked flatly, "How many people have you killed?"

"I don't remember," Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito replied with a small voice.

"Really?" That reply lit the cold light in Kitagawa Tera's eyes. He increased the pressure.

"I clearly answered the question!" Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito screamed.

"Next question." Kitagawa Tera ignored him. His voice was still calm, but there was a sharp light in his eyes. "Who is the person behind you?"

The person behind?! Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito's body shuddered upon hearing it. An unbelievable thought poured out from his heart. Does this high school student know about Yuuki?

Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito's fear spread from his heart. His hands and feet turned cold, and his breath was short.

He could not help but raise his head to look at Kitagawa Tera's expression.

His expression did not change. His face looked as hard as a stone and unreadable.

"There's no one behind me." Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito gritted his teeth before replying. But he soon lowered his head, crying and begging. "Please, please, can you let me go?"

The pressure from the evil bat increased once again. His broken leg felt as though it was about to be crushed.

I can't die here.

I have to go back to Yuuki no matter what.

"Let you go?" Kitagawa Tera felt this question was funny and insulting.

Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito was treating him as a psychopath, making Kitagawa Tera feel the roles between them seemed to be reversed.

However, it was true that he did possess the aura of a b.l.o.o.d.y villain, carrying a metal bat and hunting Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito down in the starry night.

Yes…

If Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito hadn't attacked me but someone else, that person would be the victim lying on the ground now.

Kitagawa Tera was not stingy about his malicious intent, taking into account how Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito might not divulge information about 'Yuuki'.

He threw the bat heavily on the ground. After a loud ping-pong, Kitagawa Tera's chilly and strange voice rang beside Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito's ear. "Actually… I know even if you don't say it. You killed me then… and buried me around your house, but the one directing you from the shadows is Sakura Yuuki—"

"Y-you're?!" Is.h.i.+kawa Kaito's pupils shrunk to a pinpoint, and he shuddered.

He pointed at Kitagawa Tera and looked at the savage shadow haunting his face like a living thing. He squeezed a few hoa.r.s.e syllables out of his throat. "You're Mitsui Yuko?!"

His eyes rolled backward, and his legs twitched abnormally, clearly scared out of his wits.
