Our group of 9 people is currently on the train that connects the East Wing and the West Wing. Although normally it would not work without the AI, due to the large distance between both wings, they have decided that they should try it first and have taken the opportunity to investigate it, but there doesn't seem to be anything notable. The Detective, however, has managed to highlight that the train can be used thanks to its external batteries, making it possible to use it to make the trip, so both groups say goodbye, each one heading towards their main mission.

The 6 people who were going to the East Wing exit the train and divide into the two relevant groups, walking in different directions, to which Alfons tries to make small talk as they walk. - Why did you decide to come with us, Detective? I feel that because of your skills, you should be better off with one of the investigation teams.

- You're right. However, something gives me a bad feeling. Lucia has insisted too much that we come and try to fix the light...

- You know that "Lucia" is here, right? If we want to find the murderer, checking the cameras is the safest thing to do. They were still active during the first murder; it seems quite normal to insist on that. - Alfons nods, laughing a little, to which Lucia continues. - And what about you? I'm sure you're looking forward to writing about it firsthand. How much do you get paid for something like that?

- Don't worry, I have some morals, I'm not like that Gale.

- Was that a reference? - Alfons nods, "N" notices this pleasant conversation, and feeling a little apart, he touches Lucia on the shoulder, to receive in response... A sudden throw onto the ground, and Lucia hyperventilating heavily with her eyes open like round plates. Alfons sees the situation and goes to help "N" up while he tries to say something to Lucia. - Wow, girl, are you okay? - Lucia takes a few seconds to recover, but finally nods slowly, trying to formulate words. - You... I had told you... At the circus, they loved to play tricks on me... It was... It's horrible... I'm not well at all...

- Gosh, girl... It doesn't help your case much if you're not the killer. - It's obvious who said that, so Alfons slaps him while waiting for Lucia to calm down on her own...

Do you have the idea that the protagonist of this story was "N"? Unfortunately, as the narrator, I must disconfirm that... It is not necessary for "N" to be in the scene to narrate it, so let's accompany the group in the West Wing for a while; the reader needs information. Plamik, Tsukumo, and Tsukamaeru walk around the amusement park, intently checking out all the Haunted Houses, Attractions, Bathrooms, etc... They're not even close to finishing checking the interiors yet, and when they're done they'll have to go around the dome that covers the park to check that it has remained impenetrable... In all this time they had been walking, Plamik seemed on the verge of wanting to ask something, but Tsuka didn't care enough. However, after Tsukumo realizes the story is different. - Hey, Familiar, is something bothering you?

- F-familiar? - Confused by the term and by the proximity that Tsukumo suddenly has with him, he is a little embarrassed and looks away without saying much more. - Mhm, you look like a rabbit. I assumed you were a familiar, I didn't offer to make a contract with you yet because I didn't think it was time, but I am a powerful fire witch!

- U-uh... I see that you are much more cheerful than before.

- A-ah, yes... I'm so sorry I couldn't help you... However, I know that my magic will be able to stop the murderer from killing anyone else! - Plamik averts his gaze towards the scientist, who, upon noticing this, simply gestures for him to play along. - By the way, that lady... Is she your sister? - Tsukumo looks towards Tsukamaeru, letting out a huge smile and nodding. - She's my older sister! I love her so much! - Plamik smiles; he can't imagine that this pair of sisters is guilty of anything, so he believes that coming with them must be the smartest decision he could have made. - Tsuka, who do you suspect right now? Do you agree with that psychopath detective...? - Tsuka thinks for a few seconds. - I wouldn't call him a psychopath, really. But... At the moment, I can't say I disagree with his theory. In case it is impossible to find proof to prove Lucia's innocence, I don't think it is wrong to be wary of her at the moment. At least until someone comes to rescue us... But I imagine we'll have to wait until tomorrow for that to happen...

- U-until tomorrow...?

- Plamik, let me be honest with you. From what I have been observing, the security measures in this park are quite poor. I don't think they're able to come in from outside with the power off, so they're probably in a legal bind and a lot of arguments right now. In any case, when this comes to light and a proper investigation is carried out, it seems to me that this park will remain closed for a good couple of years... - Plamik looks at the ground, looking a little worried by Tsuka's words, but Tsukumo tries to console him, succeeding to a certain extent. After their talk, they continue investigating.

Alfons, "N," and Lucia have entered the power plant, having to invade the place due to the lack of energy, although well... They used a passage that was already made, probably by the murderer. The size was big enough for anyone to fit through it, so that doesn't help them narrow down suspects. The thing is that once they enter, they realize how dark the place is. There seem to be some closed windows, so everyone starts opening them. They haven't spoken since the small accident that happened with Lucia on the road, mainly because neither of them has tried to resume the conversation. Fortunately, right now, one of them must speak, specifically Alfons. - Hey, guys, I think it's this way. - Everyone approaches to see what Alfons is talking about. Apparently, it is a room full of cables, however, it is totally dark... Lucia looks at the place somewhat doubtfully - Do we have to go in here?

- Well, it is possible, although I feel that it is dangerous with our lack of light sources... - "N" agrees to what Alfons says but proposes a solution. - Alfons, I think you should stay out here. It doesn't look like this room has any more entrances, so if someone comes you'll be able to defend us with your gun. I doubt Lucia would dare attack me under these conditions if she really is the murderer. - Lucia does not react to being called a murderer, and Alfons nods. - And if she were not, I trust

that with her quick reaction, she should be able to defend you if something dangerous were to happen. I like this plan, let's go with it. - With everyone agreeing to the idea, "N" and Lucia enter the dark room. Their objective is to check the cables in search of a possibly broken one or something off. The best option would be simply the second, but it is also a little idealistic. "N" and Lucia walk through the totally dark room. You can't see nearly anything except the things that are near the door that Alfons watches, but based on appearances, it's a room full of cables and computers that maintain the systems of the park. The problem with the park's power must come from here, but it's not like they were going to find it out of nowhere. As they investigate in silence, Alfons once again starts a conversation with both of them. - Hey, girl. If you are interested, I can do an "investigation" on that circus. I think it's obvious that they haven't treated you well at all. I mean, jeez, to cause that level of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder it must have bordered on the illegal side. If you want, with an interview and a little of my skills, I can ruin their lives. Don't worry, I think you will have plenty of job opportunities even without them. - "N" listens in silence without wanting to intrude, as he cannot see Lucia's expression to see how she has taken it. What he can do is hear her response - I... Mr. Schwarz adopted me since I was little, but... Still, I don't think I should consider that normal... Yeah, that would be nice... Do you do this for people often?

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

- I try not to be like the stereotypical evil journalist, Miss Junoire. I don't care who can come after me for publishing news. Where there is fire, there is Rauch. The government, people in power, unsolved mysteries... You don't get to have your own newspaper and news page simply by listening to what the people at the top tell you that you can publish or not. In my case, it was because I wanted to inform and help people.

- I... See... - Even without being able to see her face, "N" notices the loneliness in her voice, probably because it is the first time someone tries to help her... Honestly, it even makes him feel a little bad for having suspected her. - After that, things go quiet again, and when he can't find anything, "N" considers that maybe it's time to give up. He tries to shout to regroup with Lucia... But he receives no response... N leaves the dark room and can notice something, or rather, the absence of something, Alfons is also nowhere to be found. Forgetting the pity he felt for Lucia a while ago, he starts running around the building looking for Alfons, hoping he hasn't arrived too late. He starts descending floors, noticing how the building is in perfect condition, but without the AI, it feels like it's abandoned. The roads are silent and dark, without a single presence in sight, "N" is increasingly tense... It is an abnormal feeling that is being combined with his concern for the well-being of the reporter, and every time he checks a room and finds nothing, that feeling increases a little more, until finally... It disappears. But it is not replaced by a good feeling, but by... Anger. In a basement completely empty and dark to the point that you can't see what it hides... You can smell something, an unmistakable smell that is not the first time he has smelled. Sensing it, he rushes in and begins to feel the ground, until he finds a person lying on the ground, once he does, he still feels that there is something strange, so he continues feeling to realize that... It's not just one. The anger is not only because he has not been able to protect Alfons, but also because his theory has been proven incorrect. Lucia's limp body is also found lying at the other end of the room. Without any respect, N punches the wall to try to calm himself, looking at his hand after that. In silence, he relaxes his gaze and bends down to check the corpses with his senses. Alfons is sitting against the wall and has a bullet hole in his head, behind this is blood and some remains of the skull; he is obviously dead, but this posture implies that he died sitting... He doesn't appear to have any other injuries, and the detective's gun is nowhere to be found, the killer appears to have taken it. Then, he goes to see Lucia's body, which is lying on the floor with her face pointing towards the ceiling, and this time, her face is completely clean, the fatal wound seems to be in the chest, specifically where the heart would be, It seems that the bullet has pierced the entire body to kill her. There does not seem to be any blood other than what is underneath her, also revealing that she died while lying down. With nothing more to investigate, N runs from the room. He has already checked every one of the rooms; the murderer seems to have escaped after killing his victims, so he also leaves the building in search of any possible clue that will allow him to track him, and that happens... A gunshot sound seems to come from the train station. - Even if it's a trap... The detective can't die until the end of the story! - Following his twisted logic, the "detective" runs towards the gunshot...

Tsuka, Plamik, and Tsukumo are resting on some benches in the West Wing... According to Tsuka's verdict, there is no way to enter the Park from outside right now. At the same time, she was also able to say that the gun is currently not in this Wing; those are the results of her investigation. Tsuka thinks that the murder weapon must be in the room of the culprit, who after killing Sunne, fled to the East Wing to turn off the light and hide the gun. It's hard to know how much time passed before Junoire reported the body, but considering there was still no rigor mortis, not long... Maybe it would be possible to remove those already in the West Wing from the list of suspects because it wouldn't give them the time to do everything the murderer had to do. These are Tsuka herself, Plamik, Luki, Tsukumo, and Madoka. While she is deep in thought, she hears something in the distance; it seems that the train is returning, which seems strange to her... They shouldn't have finished investigating yet... - Plamik, Tsukumo. Stay here, I'll go meet those who came on the train. - Both children nod, it seems that Plamik is getting along with Tsukumo by playing those witch games with her, ignoring that fact a bit, Tsuka heads towards the train... It doesn't take long to reach the station, and she can see that the train is arriving, Tsuka watches from a distance, but when the train opens... Tsuka can see... In fact, she can't see anything. Nobody is getting off the train. Tsuka loses her fear upon seeing this, walking inside to look for someone, but... There is still no one. According to Tsuka, the following is a fact: No one has come on this train. Having a bad feeling, she boards the train to go to the West Wing.

After what is several nervous minutes on the train, Tsukamaeru arrives at the East Wing. Once she leaves the station, she begins to investigate it immediately. And although she didn't expect to find anyone in the first place, she confirms that there doesn't seem to be anyone to receive her, another thing she finds is a bullet on the ground... Really, all this seems a bit gloomy, but Tsuka is confident in her ability to flee in the first place, in case this escalates to anything, and her stealth capabilities are good too. Leaving the station, Tsuka heads to the hotel, checking all the places she can on the way to see if she finds something or someone, but that is not the case at least until reaching the entrance of the hotel, where some voice can be heard. She immediately tries to put the ear to listen, and it appears to be "N" who is speaking. He's telling how... He found Lucia and Alfons dead!? Exalted, Tsuka leaves the stealth and bursts into the hotel, finding everyone who came to this Wing in the first place. Luki waves at her, while the other green-haired boy looks at her with a smile. The one who dares to raise her voice is Madoka. - Oh Jesus! Tsukamaeru-san! Did you bring Plamik and Tsukumo? No? Well, I guess it's better this way... It's a shame to have to say this, but another murderer has occurred among our group... Or rather, two murders! We haven't gone to see the bodies yet; will you want to come with us?

- I, uh... Are they Alfons and Lucía?

- Wow, how do you know?

- I was spying on your conversation. What exactly happened? - "N" stops smiling and threateningly asks her a question, instead of answering the girl. - And what are you supposed to be doing here, Kanjou-san?

- A train came from this Wing, but it was empty. Thinking something might have

happened, I ran over to check.

- Was it empty? Oh, my... How... Convenient, right?

- ... What are you insinuating?

- Nothing, nothing... Kanjou-san. The murderer lured me towards the station with a bullet, but when I arrived, I could only see the Train leaving. Isn't it very convenient that that train was empty?

- So that's why that bullet was there... But well, are you insinuating that I was the one who fled on that train?

- You're smart, Kanjou-san; of course, I am assuming that. Unless you tell me that you found a way to enter from the outside world in the East Wing - Tsuka bites her lips, and swallowing her words she responds. - No, there is not. But that doesn't mean I'm the murderer, Plamik and Tsukumo were... Almost all the time with me.

- What a suspicious clarification, Kanjou-san.

- The time they weren't with me wouldn't be enough for me to do anything. And why can't you be the culprit? Or anyone else on this Wing? - Everyone watches the exchange of words between the Detective and the person they suspect, no one really knows how to interfere, except Madoka. - Ohoho, come on, come on. I don't think we have enough evidence to say whether Mrs. Tsukamaeru or Mr. Detective is the culprit. Or if it's me, Luki, or Michaela. - Hearing her name being mentioned, Michaela joins the conversation. - Oh, I have an idea! Let's do the check thing again and see if anyone has the gun! Same rules as last time! - Although Tsuka and "N" doubt it will work, they at least have to try. After checking everyone present, the gun is not among them; however, Luki suggests another idea. - You checked that there were no entrances in the East Wing, but you haven't done it here yet, right? Let's do it, then, maybe we'll find out that the murderer isn't any of us. - Tsuka thinks for a few seconds before answering. - No... I mean, yes, but... I will only check with "N"; I want the rest of you to go check that Tsukumo and Plamik are still okay, and stay with them. Do not separate under any circumstances.

- Aren't you worried about being alone with "N"? - Luki asks, being intercepted by the mentioned person - Hey, if anyone should be scared, it's me. But no, if only the two of us are here... If one of us died, there would be only one possibility. - Tsukamaeru nods at his words, complementing. - And if it were both of us... It means that there is someone else among us. So is everything clear? - Everyone nods, separating into two groups again. One stays in the West Wing, and another goes towards the train... Will this be enough to stop the murders...? It's clear that everything will start to go faster from here.
