Never mind! Thanks! Huh? What's this? It happened again It's no good.
Once again, there were no witnesses.
Well, not too many people ride the trains at this hour.
Hi there! Long time no see.
What the hell, Muroto? If you've got a new book out, just send it to the station.
Not that I'll read it.
No, no, that's not why I'm here today.
I have a few questions about this incident.
This is a murder.
It's not that supernatural stuff you like.
Nonsense.
I've heard the rumors, you know.
What? Oh, that crap? Ah, that stuff about a song? It's a cursed song! The song of death! Whispers from the beyond.
Cursed, eh? A song, huh? The whole internet is talking about it right now, guys! On the nights the murders happen, radios and TVs play this girl singing.
You sure it's not one of those ghost stories that used to be big, like Toilet Hanako or Teke-Teke? I'm telling you, this one is real! There's an actual recording making its way around the Web! Scary! Kitamura, you're going to believe that? Come on, you don't believe me?! A member of the Journalism Club should be all over this! Don't we have an old boy who specializes in this stuff? No way, no how! Muroto is the shame of the Journalism Club! My idol is our senior Kaori Sanada.
Plus, I'm not interested in silly gossip like that.
"Silly gossip"?! That's just mean.
Fine, then Ghost stories? Do you have stuff like that on your planet, too? Sure we do.
In Teledore on Renevia, the ghost of a Kopper Well? You downloaded it? Oh, no! Don't play us an unlucky song like that! Stop it! Nakasugi Oh, Nakasugi! Over here, over here! Whoops.
Are you okay? Who are you, little boy? Where did you come from? Thank you.

Um, who are you again? I-I, er I've seen you somewhere You're Shion Arita! Why are you here?! Yes, that's right.
It's about the "cursed song.
" From what I heard today, the way the victims died it was almost like they were crushed to death by a gorilla.
Yes.
I think it'll be very interesting to pursue this further.
So would you mind adding a little extra to my research funds? Really?! Thanks, I'll write you exactly what you're looking for! Right, goodbye.
All right! I should be able to make ends meet for a while now.
I guess I'll have to let this one lie for a while.
I'm Shion Arita, yessiree! You look so much like her! I'm flattered, yessiree.
But man I can't believe Tsutomu managed to score a girlfriend, let alone that she's a dead ringer for Shion Arita! Say, do that one thing! Have a good day, Ma'am! You could be twins! Come on, just give her some excuse and escape! You want to go investigate the murders, right? I know, I know.

And it was right around when I heard the song Well, it doesn't have to be the criminal who did it, right? Someone could have hijacked the frequency to play that song.
If it was really related to the murder, wouldn't they say so on the news? The cops would never take rumors like that seriously.
If your big sister hadn't gotten in my way yesterday Whatever, you were so into it.
Thanks to these crimes, we were able identify a rough search area.
We'll find it soon enough.
I'm glad to hear it.
I see specialists like you really know how to get things done.
But it has nothing to do with us.
You were developing it on your own.
I know.
Don't worry.
This country's press are putty in my hands.
Um Excuse me, but did you know the victim? No Shion Arita! N-No I'm not, nosiree! Yes you are! What's Muroto doing here? Hey! Sorry! You're not getting away! There's no place left to run, Shion Arita! Huh? Hey, if it isn't Muroto! Hmm You're Hayamiya's friend Ichikawa? No Mankawa? Senkawa.
Right, Senkawa! Anyway, Shion Arita was just here, wasn't she? Yeah, right! Nobody's been here.
Huh? Really? You don't see anyone, do you? That's weird "Soon Arriving in Shinjuku" "Soon Arriving in Shinjuku" Next stop, Shinjuku.
Please exit to the left.
Next stop, Shinjuku.
Please exit to the left.
Well, this is my stop.
Hey, hold on! Hello? You too? Don't tell me there's another What do we do, Birdy? Tuto! Hey! Senkawa! Is there something over here? Shh! I can hear singing.
This is horrible So do you think the Ryunka's involved in this, Birdy? I can't be sure, but something about it bugs me.
But would the Ryunka go around murdering people? Well, everyone says it's hazardous, so it must be dangerous to Earthlings too.
Maybe, but Anyway, we have to find anything suspicious and look into it! Whoa! Hmm? What is this? It's called an underground website.
It creeps me out, but Huh? What is it? Say, don't these girls look kind of alike? I see, so all the victims have glasses and short hair.
Oh, cut it out! Excuse me, Miss Muroto! Wh-What are you doing here?! I thought the perp might show up if I dressed like this.
Wh-What is it? Don't tell me that's Mama What is this thing?! A marionette! Target confirmed.
M-Mr.
Chairman, please wait! Out of my way! What's this all about, Sasaki?! Explain it to me! M-Mr.
Chairman? You're Getting too excited is bad for your health, Chairman Nakasugi.
So Mr.
Sasaki spilled the beans, eh? He's so spineless.
Shyamalan The one behind the serial murders rocking Tokyo is a marionette escaped from these premises.
A marionette? I'm sure you've heard that the marionettes developed here are no mere nursing robots.
No one ever told me they were for military use! Did you really think I would make nursing robots? How much money do you think I invested in this lab?! Mama Locked on to target.
Mama Mama Delete target.
Oh no Mama.
This thing is Delete.
Its mother?! These women have the same characteristics as Chief Nagaya.
Did she program it? Yes.
She wanted to produce reactions of clinginess and adoration.
So she succeeded in analyzing the M Program? Yes, though there were a few bugs.
Going along with your stupid dreams won't get us through in life.
Your men here understand better than you do.
The M Program that enabled marionettes to act spontaneously was a black box.
But now we've solved the riddle.
Even the military labs of a certain country couldn't tinker with it.
This has proven how talented your subordinates are.
Where did you get the basic design for that marionette?! You don't need to know that.
Wow, you've memorized the song I taught you! What a good girl, to learn Mama's song.
Mama? That's right.
I'm Mama.
Sorry it took so long to tune your eyes.
I love you.
I'll give you a hug.
I love you too, Mama.
I'll give you a hug.
You did it, Birdy.
Maybe if you check this thing out, you can find a clue.
Hey, are you listening? Oh, sorry.
You're right.
Okay, I'll bring it What was that?! Shit! A Marker? They got away.
Who was that? That was someone from the Federation.
The next train's the last one, little lady.
Thank you.
You lost sight of her? What do you mean by that? I just got word from one of my men.
Apparently she suddenly stopped emitting any signal.
Looks like it'll be tough to secure her before the end of the day.
What happened? What was that sound? I found the marionette.
What? Playing with dolls is fine and all, but make sure you clean up afterward.
Or else someone will beat you to the treasure you're looking for.
Who are you? A guardian angel.
I don't believe in those.
Neither do I.
Want to be friends? This feels good Let's go! Have a good time! A peaceful, happy cheek-to-cheek time for everybody Put your hands, let's become one now Come on, make some noise, clap your hands, slap slap! Lift your hands, clap your hands, slap slap!
