Chapter 10
The Reaper That Cannot Be Caught

“Rain Palace, this is your salary. Contact me again if you have the chance.”

“Thank you, Manager.”

Rain Palace accepted the full envelope, thanked the Manager seriously, and then turned and left.

The female Manager looked at Rain Palace's back and sighed.

“He's a good kid.”

After receiving his salary, Rain Palace didn't immediately leave Dorobiga Paradise.

Although he hated unnecessary trouble, he wanted to see the famous scene of the Death Note student as long as it didn't involve his own safety.

He didn't need to get close to the roller coaster, just sit in a nearby vacant spot and wait for the results.

It was a good opportunity to update his diary.

【Today's luck was really bad. I came to Dorobiga Paradise to work part-time, and I thought there wouldn't be any problems, but in the end, I still encountered them.】

【Roller coaster murder case... I didn't expect that the first case I encountered at work would actually be this. That Death Note is simply the source of frequent crime in Mifa City.】

【However, I will probably encounter it more often in the future.】

【As one of the residents of Mifa City and a student of Teitan High School, I will probably encounter many more murders.】

【It's not my business. It's best not to get involved.】

「It would be great if I could take pictures or videos at this time.」

Rain Palace thought as he wrote this.

Suddenly, a line of text appeared on the diary.

【Diary content can add photos and videos.】

Rain Palace was stunned.

「Oh, so the functions of the diary need to be added by my own thinking.」

「It seems this diary really doesn't have any guidance, I have to dig it out by myself.」

This was a noticeable issue.

It had been sitting idle for a year without any response, indicating that the diary itself wasn't a mandatory task.

But after coming into contact with it, the diary was no different from being mandatory, because the benefits were too numerous.

Once there were benefits, people would subconsciously want more.

After all, humans are greedy.

He put aside his pointless thoughts and continued to research the photo and video functions.

【Photo Mode】

【Video Mode】

There were no buttons to enter photo and video modes. As long as he thought about it, the diary would enter photo mode. He could take pictures through what he saw with his eyes and could take pictures from all angles.

Honestly, this function was pretty good.

The photos and videos could be chosen not to be placed on the diary but stored inside the diary, without worrying about memory issues. This function was extremely useful.

Sitting on a bench by the road, Rain Palace's eyes focused on the building where the roller coaster was located, guarded by police on the outside.

With a thought, a picture almost as if he was at the scene was taken.

The photo was pasted below the diary content.

【The photography function is good, and the clarity of the captured images is also high. This function of the diary is really good.】

【Next is to wait.】

After about an hour, the police team on the roller coaster came out, but not all of them left. Some police officers remained there to deal with the aftermath.

No matter what, the roller coaster shouldn't be operating today.

After waiting outside for a while, Rain Palace noticed a man and two women walking out of the roller coaster.

The two girls looked very unwell. They even gagged occasionally. The boy, on the other hand, seemed indifferent, full of energy.

“I really had terrible luck today. I came to the amusement park and saw a headless... *vomit*”

As she spoke, Suzuki Sonoko remembered the headless body she had just seen and the head that was finally found in the roller coaster's passageway. She felt her stomach turning and almost couldn't hold it back.

“Sonoko, don't say it...”

Mouri Ran, who was also present, felt nauseous.

Sonoko might not have directly seen the severed head and the blood spraying continuously, but she directly felt the blood splattering on her neck.

Mouri Ran couldn't help but cover her mouth. She had already vomited, but she still couldn't stop feeling like she wanted to vomit.

“Is it really that exaggerated?”

Kudo Shinichi looked at the two of them helplessly.

“Just get used to it.”

“I said, you...”

The words “just get used to it” really hit Suzuki Sonoko's sore spot. Who could develop a habit of facing corpses? They weren't police officers or forensic experts, how could they develop a habit of corpses?

“Hmm?”

Before Suzuki Sonoko could speak, Kudo Shinichi's peripheral vision locked onto a man in a black suit, wearing a round hat.

「That man in black was on the roller coaster. Where's the other one?」

His detective intuition told him that those two people were very dangerous. When they saw the dead person, they didn't look like Sonoko and Ran, who were scared and crying. Their cold eyes seemed to completely not care about who died.

「Those two have problems.」

The moment this thought was born, Kudo Shinichi immediately ran towards the man.

He remembered Sonoko and Ran as he was running.

“Ran, you and Sonoko go home today. I have something urgent to do. I'll go first.”

“Eh...”

Suzuki Sonoko's eyes widened.

“That guy isn't serious!”

Leaving the two of them, girls, in an amusement park where a murder had just occurred and saying that he had something urgent and running away?

Her temper rose uncontrollably, and she grabbed Ran's hand.

“Ran, let's catch up and give that idiot a lesson!”

“Eh?”

Mouri Ran hadn't reacted when she was pulled to run.

But they hadn't run a few steps when the shoelaces on their sneakers suddenly broke, causing them to stumble and almost fall.

“No way...”

Suzuki Sonoko noticed that her shoelace had broken, and it seemed like Ran's shoelace had broken as well.

Mouri Ran stared blankly at her shoelace and Shinichi, who had disappeared into the crowd. A bad feeling suddenly arose in her heart.

This scene was also captured by Rain Palace.
