Chapter 16 9. The Spider and the Madman

Now, let's talk about what happened earlier! Not long after the taxi arrived at the destination, Kobayashi Keiko's younger brother, Hoji, quietly climbed out of the back compartment of the car parked in the dark garage. Haoji was entrusted by Miyagawa Mitsuko, and has been paying close attention to her every move. He followed the taxi from Kanda to the Huguo Temple, and then took the opportunity to hide in the back compartment of the car.But then he didn't know which direction the car was going. At the beginning, Haoji lifted the rear compartment lid from time to time to peek outside, but it was a pity that it was so dark in the middle of the night that he couldn't see where he was at all.

So he quickly lost his sense of direction and had no idea where the garage was located in Tokyo. He vaguely felt that the car had been driving for a long time, but did it actually take such a long time?Maybe the driver deliberately took a long way because he was afraid of being followed.Jieji is not so sure about this. All in all, the car drove for about half an hour. When Haoji slipped out of the rear compartment smoothly, he found that the iron door of the garage was closed tightly, no matter how Haoji pushed it, he couldn't push it open. This garage is like a box fixed with cement, and there is no other exit except for the gate.

After Haoji recognized the current situation, he couldn't help but tremble with fear, and realized that his actions were greater than recklessness. In addition, Haoji was also worried about what would happen to Mitsuko. He only knew that Mitsuko was in danger, but he didn't know that such a terrible thing would happen to her. Haoji thought that the man in the car loved Mitsuko and even wanted to rape her, so he forced her here.Therefore, he didn't know how terrible it would be to be trapped in the garage right now. Perhaps it is a kind of happiness that Haoji does not know the seriousness of the matter!

If he knew that the car he was following all the way was driven by the ghost man, he would probably be so frightened on the spot that he didn't know what to do. Haoji knew that he couldn't go outside at the moment, so he wanted to write down the license plate number first, so he turned on the flashlight he carried with him. After writing down the license plate number in his notebook, he opened the door and checked the interior of the car. The car was full of sweet and sour smell before, but now it has dissipated, so Haoji didn't notice anything unusual. Haoji checked the car inside and out, then hid in the back seat and lay down; after a while, he fell asleep because he was too tired.

After an unknown amount of time, Haoji woke up suddenly, just in time to hear a clicking, clicking sound from the door. (Someone is opening the garage!) Haoji hurriedly slipped out of the car and hid in the corner of the garage.Just as he hid, the garage door was opened, the lights were turned on, and a man walked in. Where Haoji was hiding, he couldn't see the appearance of the person coming, but he saw that the man was wearing a black leather jacket and boots, and he looked like the previous driver. (Does he want to drive?) Haoji's whole heart was beating wildly, and his head was guessing wildly.

The man didn't want to drive, he just opened the door, took something from the driver's seat, and walked out of the garage. (Will he lock the door again?) Haoji listened carefully, and he realized that he was very lucky, because the man only closed the door this time and did not lock it.He will probably be driving out to run errands in a while? Haoji quietly slipped out from behind the car, stood by the door and listened for a while, then put his hand on the door, trying to open the garage door.As long as there is a slight sound during this, Haoji's heart will beat wildly. When he escaped from the garage, he found that the sky was still cloudy, and it was still pitch black outside, so he couldn't see the appearance of the garage clearly.

Not far from the garage there is a small bungalow with light from a window, it may be the driver's residence. (Where is Mitsuko?) He looked around, but there was no light at all except the window of the small bungalow. Haoji approached the small bungalow on tiptoe, and found that the window was closed, but a gap was opened at the side, so he looked in through the gap. There is a dim light bulb in the small bungalow, and there is a simple bed under the light bulb. The man who just entered the garage fell asleep on that bed. He had taken off his leather jacket and boots and was only wearing pajamas.

Because the light in the room was too dark, Haoji couldn't see the man's face clearly, only his hair was messy. The man was lying on the bed, his feet were moving like a child's, his hands were also shaking, and the expression on his face seemed to be very happy. (What the hell is he dreaming about? Why is he smiling so happily?) Seeing the man's appearance, Haoji couldn't help feeling chills down his spine; he tiptoed to look inside again, and saw a rectangular glass container of about three feet standing next to the head of the bed, in which densely packed spiders were crawling. Feel the chills.

(It's only the end of February, and it's not the season for spiders to come and go, so it seems that these spiders are being kept by someone? The Man Who Keeps Spiders!So isn't he Kazuhiko Tsumura? ) Suddenly, the man raised his head, looked at his prey with bloodshot eyes, and smiled excitedly and greedily. The man opened the lid of the glass container and put his left hand in. At this moment, Haoji clearly saw that he was only half wearing his little finger... Soon, the man stretched out his hand from the glass container, and numerous spiders crawled along his hand to his chest.

"Wow!" Seeing this, Haoji screamed out in fright. Later, the man in the room rushed out of the room at lightning speed, and squeezed Haoji's neck from behind Haoji who was about to escape... This is also what happened before the ghost man heard the voice.
