Vol 1 Chapter 11 (2/2)
Even in the city of Ikebukuro, the Headless Rider is beco a powerful presence
So the land speculation uproar where a landshark impostered the Headless Rider and wrecked havoc all over the city
(T/N: Plot froame, hich I am unfamiliar)
Si the Headless Rider as a dangerous figure, and even collaborated with politicians to obtain redevelophts
In short, for the residents of Ikebukuro, the Headless Rider has long been accepted as a part of the city
There are probably people who are friendly towards it and those who despise it
Even so, it appears that many residents accept the existence of the Headless Rider as a fact
It is an unidentified monster, but it is a definite existence in this world If its identity were to be exposed, would the world undergo a change?
I have even begun to have this misconception
No – it may not necessarily be a misconcept
Will this beco material eventually, or will it not?
That is no longer the priority I si my own curiosity, want to expose the identity of the Headless Rider
Memo
The Headless Rider is female?
There are accounts that it goes by ‘Celty’
Relation to the Dollars’ incident one and a half years ago?
Connected to the head thrown onto the streets about the same period?
After the police car was attacked and the head stolen, it went
※In the Dollars’ incident a gun was shot at the Awakusu-kai and the police station ↑ Related?!
Many witness accounts around Kawagoe Highway
Was able to contact a major information source
Notes of the results to be continued
And leaving behind this incoami Aya vanished
Her notebook computer open on her desk in the editorial department, the text file open
It looked like she had left her workplace after typing the hurried words on the screen
She was unreachable by email or mobile; not even her family could contact her
Exactly as this ‘major information source’?
Colleagues and the heads of the editorial department tried to find out, to no avail
They did not even kno she had contacted the informant – by phone, mail, e-mail?
And she had disappeared with her mobile on her; save for the police there was no one who could even check her call history
As a result, without a single hint to the editorial department, she vanished
Eventually a ru in pursuit of the Headless Rider: She had come to know of the Headless Rider’s true identity
That hy she had been vanished
Had she been sed into the shadows of the Headless Rider, or abducted by the Awakusu-kai?
The ru reportedthe information had spread across the internet, and she herself beca the Headless Rider
A an to squirm across the internet –
‘Those who know of the Headless Rider’s identity will be decapitated and die’
‘Although it’s searched for its head for so long, the Headless Rider’s already strangled the real thing’
‘If you look too deeply into the Headless Rider, it will come to you’
‘Those who know too e from the Headless Rider on their phones’
‘The e will say: [You know so much about me – are you me? Are you my head?]’
‘And the moment you look up froed into the shadows’ Rumours last no more than 75 days
(T/N: Proverbial: ‘Rumours are short-lived’)
In the end, how long would the rumours of the supernatural continue?
No one knew
In all this, only one number was certain
It had been 15 days since the disappearance of Tatsugami Aya
Her survival was still unconfirmed
