The two exchanged a glance and immediately returned to the hall.
Minamoto Tamako pushed the door open and entered. Before she had a chance to ask what had happened, she immediately saw Oogami Nui's corpse—she was slumped on the sofa, soaked through, her face pale, mouth agape, and her chest no longer rising and falling.
The scream was from Ono Ken, who pointed at Oogami Nui, unable to utter a complete sentence for the moment.
The others were startled by her scream and rushed back to the hall, except Fujiwara Homare, who was still in the guest room meditating. After hearing the scream, he was overwhelmed with panic and continued to practice more earnestly.
Faced with the murder, Minamoto Tamako's DNA stirred. She set aside fear, rushed over to check, and confirmed that Mrs. Oogami's heart had stopped beating, her irises had dilated, and she lacked a pulse—it was unmistakable she was dead, causing Tamako's heart to sink.
