There were no BMWs or Audis, no Land Rovers or Bentleys, no Porsches or Ferraris...

With his phone filled with black technology, Li Fanfu declared war on all the car manufacturers.

Shin Takisawa, a high school boy who came to the city for university entrance exams, met an eccentric but beautiful schoolgirl who claimed to be a part of an urban legend. Just as they begin to feel an indescribable affinity for one another, the two are dragged into strange paranormal phenomena as they secretly run about…

“It is surely fate!” the self-proclaimed urban legend says dreamily.

“I’ll admit it was a strange connection,” the boy declared, shrugging his shoulders bashfully.

The pair somehow wound up attending the same university, and due to that experience and their particular “idiosyncrasies,” they started a club that also served as a hobby.

“The Raven Club”

That is to say, ghosts and such, any conceivable mysterious or puzzling existence in this world. Supernatural phenomena. An occult research club that goes around experiencing urban legends.

This tale is a catalog of the mysterious, bizarre stories that started from the meeting of this pair that could see these kinds of spirits.

A typical summer for a twenty-three-year-old.

Joo Hwion comes face-to-face with his younger brother, who wore a smile on his face despite the mu*dered corpses of their parents lying at his feet.

Of all people, the “living agwi” he had been so desperately searching for turned out to be an arrogant human with a personality problem.

“Ha, someday I’ll make you kneel and beg for forgiveness for what you’ve done.”

“Give it your best try.”

But this man seems to know me?

“Cliff.”

I hesitated for a moment, then firmly pressed my lips together. I tensed my body pretending indifference. After shielding myself with calmness, I opened my mouth provocatively.

“What exactly are you to me?”

Without all the singularities or whatever. I didn’t add any unnecessary reasons or information. Interpretation was Cliff’s job. Surprisingly, Cliff answered without hesitation. There was no pause or hesitation.

Now the interpretation was my job. However, while my intentions were often read by Cliff, Cliff had never been read by me. When I regained my senses, it was always in Cliff’s palm.

“You’re too difficult, Cliff.”

I let out a bitter laugh. This and that seemed to be quite different stories.

To elope with Jiang Wangshu, the wealthy young master, Duan Xiuze, stole his household registration book and ran away from home. After marriage, he plucked the stars from the sky, held them in his palms and gave them all to Jiang Wangshu.... more>>

But alas, the good times didn’t last long. Duan Xiuze had a car accident and lost his memory. All that’s left was the time from when he was 17, back when he and Jiang Wangshu were still bitter enemies.

Jiang Wangshu thought it’d be fine if he lost his memory. He was confident in making the other party fall in love with him again.

However, Duan Xiuze found him immediately after he was discharged and wanted to divorce him. He threatened by saying, “The 23-year-old Duan Xiuze must’ve been bewildered by Gu to marry you. Aren’t I just a pure and innocent high schooler?”

Jiang Wang scoffed and agreed to the divorce on the spot. “Friendly reminder, we signed a prenup. You have to leave everything if you want to file for a divorce.”

Duan Xiuze was dumbstruck — What the hell? Is he out of his mind?

But for the sake of his innocence, he gritted his teeth and left.

After the divorce, Jiang Wangshu received a huge sum of money, he was even followed by a small fresh meat. That day, he gave the little wolfdog a private birthday party. He was so comfortable, he completely forgot he had an ex-husband.

Duan Xiuze returned to freedom and was so happy, he set off fireworks at his door for three days straight.

When asked if he would regret it, he said with a serious face, “I have a deep-rooted hatred for Jiang Wangshu. At the age of seven, I vowed that I would never shake hands nor make peace with him. Ever.”

When this remark reached Jiang Wangshu’s ears, he sneered and sent a message asking, “Deep-rooted hatred? For exposing that you wet your bed?”

Duan Xiuze was so angry, he broke his phone. He really hated Jiang Wangshu. He swore he’d never regret his divorce in his life.

Later, Duan Xiuze’s search history gradually increased ——

“How can I cut off my ex-husband’s peach blossoms without appearing like I want him back?”

“Is a man’s self-esteem important?”

“How to win the heart of a prodigal ex-husband?”

The kingdom boasted a hero and formidable leader of the demon extermination force, Valen Rudwick. Amidst the chaos of battle, he tried to rescue a woman from a demon attack, only to be struck on the back of his head…... more>>

Unbeknownst to him, the woman he saved was not just any civilian but a succubus.

When Valen regained consciousness, he found himself not on the bloody battlefield but in a wedding hall within the demon realm.

“I am Argentine. And you are?”

“Do you think I’ll tell my name to a filthy demon like you?”

Weary from the prolonged wars, the demons proposed a political marriage to him. The absurd condition? It would last until Argentine, whom Valen saved, became pregnant with his child.

The idea of a child with demon blood repulsed him to the core. But pushed to his limits, Valen reluctantly agreed to their proposal.

“Let’s cease these charades and focus on what needs to be done. It’ll be better for both of us,” he growled.

“I want to give you time to accept…”

“Should I give not only my body but also my mind? Will that strengthen my ‘essence’?”

Valen was disgusted by the demons’ hypocrisy. He had intended to leave the demon realm as soon as the succubus bore a child.

“Whether you call for me or come to me, it’s up to you,” he said.

“…”

“I’ll do my da!mned best to give you my seed.”

The investigation found that it was Jiang Xiyan, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, who disappeared ten years ago.... more>>

The criminal policeman Song Zhou, who was in charge of investigating the case, worked day and night, but he still couldn't hold back the great sleepiness and laid down at his desk to rest.

While half asleep and half awake, he received a call. The caller claimed to be Jiang Xiyan and was being hunted down. He hoped that the police would rescue him.

Song Zhou thought that someone had the same name, but he didn't expect that the place names mentioned by the other party were all the locations that had been demolished, and the time Jiang Xiyan mentioned was exactly three days before he was confirmed missing.

Regardless of whether it was a prank or a real occurrence, out of responsibility, Song Zhou still helped him out of trouble, but he was surprised to find that the evidence in his hand was also changing.

In other words, the other party might really be Jiang Xiyan, who died ten years ago.

—Yes, trust me, and trust yourself too.

—If I survive, I want to see you. <<less

In the winter of three years ago, the first locked room mu*der in Japanese history was committed.... more>>

All of the evidence pointed to the defendant. It was certain they were guilty. And yet, they were found innocent and released. Why? Because the crime scene was a perfect locked room no one from the police or the prosecutor's office could solve.

"Since the room was locked, it was impossible for the defendant to have committed the mu*der. It's no different than if they had a perfect alibi." That was the argument of the defense, and that was the argument the judge sided with.

The ruling sent a ripple throughout Japanese society. No matter how suspicious you were or how much evidence you left behind, as long as you managed to create a locked room that no one could solve, you were immune from prosecution. With the common anti-mystery fiction talking point "there's no reason anyone would ever actually commit a locked room mu*der" completely overturned, the rate of locked room mu*ders in Japan skyrocketed.

When the police proved unable to deal with the surge of locked room crime, the Ministry of Justice published an official categorization of all known locked room tricks as an investigative aid. When that proved insufficient, Division Zero of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, a police division dedicated solely to solving locked rooms, was created. When that still proved insufficient, locked room detectives, private investigators specializing in locked rooms, were officially licensed by the state and authorized to participate in police investigations. Calling a locked room appraiser, someone specializing in searching buildings for secret passages, is now a common first step in criminal investigations.

On the other side of the spectrum, locked room agents, assassins and crime planners specializing in locked room mu*ders, have become some of the most notorious criminals in Japanese history, and even a cult worshiping the scenes of locked rooms as a way to purify the souls of the deceased has made rapid inroads into Japan.

The protagonist, Kasumi Kuzushiro, is an introverted, somewhat cynical high school student who loves mysteries. Kasumi often finds himself dragged along on bizarre journeys by his flighty childhood friend, Yozuki Asahina. Due to their staggeringly bad luck, these trips often leave them in the wrong place at the wrong time to be caught up in locked room mysteries. Fortunately, another of Kasumi's childhood friends, Shitsuri Mitsumura, is the greatest locked room expert in the world, and can always discover the truth.

Hm? How did a high school girl become the greatest locked room expert in the world?

It's simple.

The pharmacist was stunned. “What?”

Unable to get heat suppressors, he felt helpless and resorted to looking for a place to stay.

“Hello, can I book a room?” Shen Tingwei asked.

“Please show me your ID,” the front desk clerk replied.

Shen Tingwei handed over his ID, only to see a complicated expression appear on the clerk’s face. The clerk quickly shoved the ID back into his hand.

“Regulations have been strict lately. You cannot book a room without a proper ID. Maybe you should go somewhere else instead,” the clerk said in an unkind tone.

As Shen Tingwei turned around, he heard the person mutter to themselves. “Your gender is ‘Omega’? Then mine must be ‘Casio’! Seriously, fake IDs are so blatantly obvious these days…” <<less
