Fang Zheng needed no special strategy or method to deal with Tomie. On the contrary, his approach was extremely simple and direct.
That was—breaking and entering!
"Bang!"
Fang Zheng kicked open the locked door and strode into the room. Hearing the noise, a man rushed out from inside and stared at Fang Zheng in terror.

Yet at that moment, Tomie suddenly rushed out from an inner room and threw her arms around Fang Zheng.

"W-Wait, what is this...!?"
Tomie was shocked by the tentacles before her, but
