Chapter 331: Ren Amamiya Runs Into a Supermarket Robbery While Getting Some Fresh Air

After the agreement was made, the slightly stiff atmosphere between the two dissipated.

The two, wearing animal pajamas and holding hands while walking through the quiet night, looked like a pair of foolish lovers on a late-night stroll.

Although some glances were drawn their way, most chose to ignore such a foolish couple.

They only stopped upon reaching a work zone where surrounding shops and supermarkets had already closed.

"Haa... so many people were staring at us just now."

Yoko Okino was also left feeling a bit frightened by the ordeal.

"..."

Regarding the trouble this person caused, Ren Amamiya had already lost his words.

He was truly a standard case of social anxiety, a pure sufferer of social phobia, not a social terrorist.

He really did not want to experience that kind of scene, where inner thoughts could be read from one's face, even one more time.

Suddenly, a strong intuition urged him to look up.

Ren Amamiya raised his head and looked to the right, where a supermarket that had ceased operations stood.

The entire supermarket had its lights turned off, making the situation inside impossible to see.

Yet, white graffiti had appeared on three panes of glass on the supermarket's upper floor.

However, a pale white curtain hung behind that white graffiti, making it difficult to see clearly.

Ren Amamiya turned his head to look at the office building on the left, which was still brightly lit.

Because the light from that side was too obvious, the reflection formed by that Bai Guang shining on the supermarket's glass at 373 made the white graffiti even less distinct.

"SOS."

"What?"

Hearing the voice, Yoko Okino immediately looked at Ren Amamiya.

Noticing the direction of Ren Amamiya's gaze, she followed his line of sight.

But the entire night was a curtain, the entire supermarket was pitch black, and the supermarket's glass had its own reflection; she could almost not see the so-called SOS.

"Where is the SOS?"

Yoko Okino squinted her eyes but still could not find the location of that SOS.

"Reflection; it's normal not to see it."

Saying this, Ren Amamiya took out the mobile phone from the Source Tower, not to dial the emergency number, but to call that familiar female police officer.

After waiting a short while, the call connected on the other end.

Ren Amamiya, whose hearing was sharp enough, could hear that the other side of the phone was not quiet; he could even hear many voices.

It seemed she was working overtime.

"Good evening, Officer Sato."

"... Hmm, it's you."

Hearing the voice, Miwako Sato immediately recognized who was calling.

That strange and mature boy she had met on Moon Shadow Island.

"Why are you calling me so late? Did you run into some trouble again?"

Miwako Sato instinctively made a teasing remark.

"Yes, it is indeed as you said."

"..."

It was originally just a joke, but hearing the tone on the other end seemed anything but playful, so Miwako Sato immediately straightened her attitude.

"Did you run into trouble again this time?"

"No, I was just taking a walk with a neighbor to get some cold air, and ended up seeing an SOS added to the glass of a closed, shuttered supermarket."

"Also, the curtains on those three panes of glass have already been drawn."

Miwako Sato's breath hitched.

Writing an SOS on the glass inside the supermarket; such obvious graffiti would absolutely not go unseen.

If truly no one saw it, that would prove it was written only after the supermarket had closed and its shutters were drawn.

And since the curtains covering the glass with the SOS had been drawn down, that proved someone was deliberately concealing the SOS message.

Therefore, something likely had already happened inside that supermarket.

Immediately afterward, Miwako Sato recalled that a gang of robbers specializing in targeting supermarkets had recently begun appearing.

Their targets were valuable items in the supermarket's gem and jewelry counters.

Sensing the eerie pause on the other end of the phone.
