Chapter 119

~7 min read 1,315 words

In the end, the girls didn't eat, even though they were hungry.

The nausea was still just too severe.

The scenes from yesterday had also left a certain impact on Ren Amamiya, but as long as he didn't foolishly consume meat, he wouldn't reach the point of vomiting just from trying to eat a meal.

Therefore, Ren Amamiya was quite satisfied with yesterday's vegetarian dinner.

The next morning, he woke up early, just as he usually did.

It was just that he didn't go for a run today.

Going out for a morning run yesterday was only to gather information; it didn't mean Ren Amamiya actually had a habit of morning runs while on vacation.

After waking up early and having a lovely soak in the hot spring, he washed up.

Once he finished his morning preparations, Ren Amamiya first went to check on the action units still stationed within the dangerous area of the inn.

Not all of these members were on guard duty; some were stationed, while others were resting.

Actually, this was quite reasonable.

If everyone were on guard duty, their spirits would likely be completely withered by the second half of the night, and they wouldn't be able to hold out if they wanted to continue guarding through the late hours.

With some resting and some on guard, it prevented everyone from being mentally exhausted by the second half of the night.

After confirming the situation, Ren Amamiya went to the area near the entrance, which was where Miwako Sato was stationed.

When Ren Amamiya arrived, he only saw the heroic policewoman from yesterday now leaning against the wall, sleeping in a rather ungraceful state.

This prompted Ren Amamiya to return to his own room to fetch the extra bedding and quilt, lay the bedding on the floor, and use the gray mist to transfer Miwako Sato onto the bedding before covering her with the quilt.

After doing all this, Ren Amamiya chose to leave.

He walked slowly into the empty main hall and sat down.

The next wave of people from the Metropolitan Police Department should be arriving soon.

The corpses and the situation inside that drug-manufacturing lab couldn't be handled by ordinary police; professional forensic personnel needed to come and process them.

Furthermore, the drug traffickers were still researching new types of drugs, so experienced anti-narcotics police would need to be in charge.

It seems that, apart from the special units responsible for combat on the front lines, the other police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department should be leaving at the same time as us.

Moon Shadow Island is not a very large place; the entire island only has one old detective stationed there year-round, and there isn't even a decent place to store corpses, let alone a space for autopsies.

Those corpses definitely cannot be dissected on Moon Shadow Island; they can only be processed once sent to Tokyo.

Transporting the corpses is also a massive workload.

I'm afraid one night won't be enough for the interrogation of those drug traffickers.

Besides, Moon Shadow Island is merely a stepping stone; the place where the influence truly radiates is Tokyo.

Now that this incident has occurred, if we want to root out the drug traffickers whose influence reaches Tokyo, we still need to work on the traffickers who have been captured.

Right, yesterday's draw.

After thinking about those matters, Ren Amamiya's thoughts returned to himself.

The content recorded in yesterday's diary was actually quite explosive.

Although he didn't know how the diary judged it, he personally felt that yesterday's events were at least twice as significant as a normal diary entry.

Perhaps it can help me draw a Sequence 8 potion.

Thinking this, Ren Amamiya directly summoned the diary and began the draw.

After the large wheel spun, it still pointed in one direction.

[Lord of the Mysteries].

Not very surprising; his path and direction were almost fixed, it just depended on what he could draw.

[Obtained Sefirah: River of Eternal Darkness]

"???"

Seeing this line of text, Ren Amamiya only felt inexplicable question marks appear over his head.

Then he came to his senses and confirmed that he had truly drawn a second Sefirah.

"A second one... was the impact of yesterday's diary that great?"

The diary's drawing mechanism should be that if it causes a sufficient impact on the people reading the diary, the probability of the diary drawing good things will also be very high.

The first time he obtained the Sefirah Castle was by using a self-detonation to attract Nagi and the others who had obtained the diary to investigate him.

It was precisely because of his own exposure, coupled with the significant impact on the people reading the diary, that he ushered in the greatest change in Ren Amamiya's life.

But could yesterday's experience and the diary have caused the same effect as the initial one?

Then Ren Amamiya calmly recalled the reactions of Nagi, Maria, and Ran.

Yesterday's events could be considered as revealing the filthiest corner of the ordinary world to them, and also made them realize that the mysterious world is no cleaner than the filthiest corner of the ordinary world.

This could also be considered a major shock to their outlook on life.

If one were to say, it also caused a great shock to Ren Amamiya.

After all, he really hadn't experienced that kind of scene in the past.

"...It was indeed quite significant."

If calculated this way, yesterday had a great impact on everyone.

Considering the significant influence of fate, it is not entirely impossible to draw the greatest reward.

And it wasn't just those three people who were affected.

If the diary also counted the other girls, perhaps such a situation could really occur.

However, if others were also affected, then are the second wave of diary holders starting to appear?

This is a guess based on the fact that he drew a second Sefirah.

How it specifically works still requires observing the situation first.

If possible, Ren Amamiya would hope to select the next wave of diary holders from the girls who came to Moon Shadow Island together.

Shaking his head, Ren Amamiya didn't continue to ponder these questions, nor did he continue sitting in the living room, but returned to his room.

Using the characteristics of the Door pathway, he sealed the door and all paths leading in.

Sitting quietly, he focused his mind.

"Thump!"

At the moment of mental concentration, his body felt as if it were falling beneath the water's surface.

Ren Amamiya opened his eyes; everything around him was as dark as an abyss, almost unable to see any color, only able to feel that he was submerged in a river.

"Hoo..."

Breathing could continue; even falling into the river did not affect his breathing.

Gradually, Ren Amamiya could adapt to the darkness in the river, his eyes could gradually see the surroundings, and it seemed as if an inexplicable light was shining down from above, giving the river some light.

The river water began to surge toward him.

That river water began to continuously lift his body.

Allowing his body to begin being lifted out of the river water bit by bit.

The moment his body surfaced, Ren Amamiya also saw the scene above the river.

Standing on the riverbank was a castle emitting a faint starlight.

The castle gates were still wide open.

Ren Amamiya knew this castle.

"The one flowing in front of the Sefirah Castle is actually the River of Eternal Darkness."

"Is this a change caused by me?"

It seemed that at this moment, a unique connection had formed between the Sefirah and the Sefirah.

However, the Evernight Goddess from the other world would probably be furious if she saw this scene.
