He could no longer find a decent job, and his life hit rock bottom.
Countless times, Endo Shogo pondered in the dead of night whether he should disappear from this world.
This question disappeared on February 6th of this year.
He saw those three women on the tram again.
They continued doing the same thing without any punishment, and even lived quite comfortably.
Despite having done nothing wrong, I'm constantly struggling in hell.
Meanwhile, the truly evildoers go unpunished and live glamorous lives.
Is this fair?
That's so unfair!
Endo ignited the anger that had been building up in my heart for so long on that day.
He had considered killing them in the street, but worried that he wouldn't be able to eliminate all three of them and might alert the enemy instead.
So he decided to patiently follow them and eventually found the apartment where they lived.
This apartment building has rental units, with monthly rents reaching as high as 200,000 yen.
In order to sneak into this place, Endo Shogo worked odd jobs and saved every penny to save up enough for the deposit and the first month's rent.
Then, using the "connections" he had made while in prison, he found someone to make a copy of their room key.
Today, I finally got the keys.
And they just got back.
The time has come.
Endo Shogo, carrying a butcher's knife, went up to the fourth floor of the apartment building.
He stood in front of room 406, imagining those three bastards who had ruined his life chatting and laughing behind the door.
Boundless hatred and murderous intent coalesced in his eyes.
He took out his key, shoved it into the lock, and turned it forcefully.
……
A slight "click" came from the door lock.
This tiny noise immediately alerted Qingze inside the door.
The red name tag transformed into three beams of red light that disappeared into the space between the eyebrows.
He disregarded the exhilarating feeling of increased power and quickly bent down to retrieve the three corpses from the ground into his second storage space.
With a sudden burst of speed, he darted into the adjacent bedroom like a cheetah, leaving only a crack in the door to secretly observe the situation outside.
He wondered who would come to his door at this time.
After the three women left the station, he released five sparrows, which are currently on guard around the apartment.
He was quite certain that no one had entered the apartment building.
That means the other person has been staying in this apartment all along. Who is it?
He held his breath and concentrated.
The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with disheveled hair and a haggard face strode in, holding a gleaming butcher knife.
Endo Shōgo slammed the door shut behind him, raised his butcher knife, and growled, "You bitches! I know you're in there!"
Stop hiding! Today is your death day!
Seeing his frenzied appearance, Qingze instantly understood.
These are likely victims of those three women before them.
Given their professional extortion tactics, their targets are unlikely to be limited to genuine "train perverts," but rather they are more likely to target men who appear honest and easily manipulated.
However, not all of these men will choose to pay money to avoid trouble; some will be stubborn.
As for the outcome, it certainly won't be a good one.
The reality is that you are not guilty just because you are innocent.
Qingze reached out and took the three female corpses out of his storage space, then casually tossed them onto the soft, luxurious bed in the bedroom.
Then, he opened the bedroom door and said in a calm tone, "Don't bother looking anymore, they're already dead."
"what?!"
Endo's crazed expression froze instantly, replaced by an incredulous bewilderment.
He seemed to realize something immediately, and charged forward with the knife in hand.
Qingze stepped aside to make way.
Endo rushed into the bedroom, his gaze immediately locking onto the three female corpses on the bed.
Their faces still bore the marks of extreme terror and pain, and the tear tracks at the corners of their eyes were not yet dry.
Clearly, they did not die peacefully; they experienced immense fear.
"Hahaha!"
Endo Shogo burst into a laugh that was a mixture of pain and pleasure, brandishing a butcher's knife and lunging forward, "Serves you right!"
You scum of society! Die! Die! Die!
Consumed by rage, he frantically swung his knife at the already lifeless corpse, warm blood splattering, staining the golden sheets and splashing onto the golden walls.
After a long while, Endo Shogo finally exhausted himself, and with a "clang," the butcher knife slipped from his weak hand.
He collapsed onto the edge of the bed with a thud, panting heavily.
The madness on his face gradually faded, leaving only endless exhaustion.
He turned his head to look at Qingze, who had been standing quietly at the door, and said in a hoarse voice, "Fox mask..."
I heard Tojo mention that a messenger of justice seems to have appeared in Tokyo recently. Is that you?
"I am not a messenger of justice."
Qingze shook his head. "If I had to define it, I'd say I'm more like a player who plays by his own rules."
"Please don't be modest."
Endo Shogo seemed to have completely lost all his strength, and even his voice became weak, "Let me take the blame for this case."
"There's no need to ruin your life for this kind of scum."
Qingze looked at him, her tone still calm, "I will help you clean up the scene, and I will also dispose of the bodies. No one will find out that they are dead."
He chose to stay because he didn't want this man, who had already been ravaged by fate, to be blamed for his actions.
Chapter 56 Endo's Wish
The smell of blood filled the bedroom.
Endo Shogo, however, did not dislike the smell; in fact, he took a deep breath as if enjoying it and said, "Life? What life do I have left to speak of?"
He raised his head, looking firmly at Aozawa, and said, word by word, "I, Endo Shogo, would rather be a vicious murderer than be regarded as a pervert on the train by my family for the rest of my life!"
Qingze fell silent.
With current technology and the man's subsequent statement, it's unlikely that anyone could fool the Ikebukuro Police Station.
But the man in front of me clearly doesn't need answers based on rational thought.
If he doesn't agree, this person is very likely to go to extremes.
They either end their own lives or utterly degenerate, transforming from victims into perpetrators and inflicting their inner pain on other innocent people.
Qingze thought for a moment and said, "If you want to maximize the impact of the case, you can contact the news media, go live to explain the situation, and then call the police at the end."
"Yes, I will definitely do as you say."
An excitement appeared on Endo Shogo's face.
He didn't care about going to jail; he just wanted to make a big scene.
That means the most "glorious" moment of his life is about to arrive.
The name "Shogo Endo" will spread throughout Japan along with this murder case, and may even have a deterrent effect on other groups that make false accusations.
Let them understand that honest people are not to be bullied.
"Thank you for being willing to let me take the blame. I will always remember your great kindness."
"This is the first time I've ever encountered someone expressing gratitude for something like this."
Qingze couldn't help but complain, and then began to instruct, "If you don't want the police to find obvious traces of a third person present, you'd better mop the floor and clean up the marks left by my anti-slip shoe covers."
If the police still conclude you're in the wrong, just implicate me to avoid trouble.
"I will never betray you."
"Don't worry, even if you tell me everything, the Metropolitan Police Department won't be able to catch me."
Qing Ze waved his hand casually, turned around and said, "I'm leaving."
"...Hey, I hope you can stay at large forever."
Endo swallowed what he originally wanted to say and changed it to a blessing.
The person remained seated on the edge of the bed, not getting up.
It wasn't that he was overconfident; it was just that his frantic hacking had exhausted all his strength, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
Aozawa walked out of the bedroom, his figure disappearing from Endo Shogo's sight.
With a thought, he activated the Shadow Binding Curse.
The shadow cast on the floor beneath their feet suddenly lit up with a dark purple magic circle.
A thick, dark shadow, as if alive, surged out of the magic circle and quickly enveloped his entire body like liquid. Then it suddenly sank downwards, pulling him into the shadows and disappearing from the living room.
At the same time, the five sparrows circling outside the apartment received new instructions and quickly left the area.
