Behind the Zoldyck Family's ten family vaults was a secret room. It was decorated in pink and had a feminine feel to it, hiding the Zoldyck Family's deepest secret.
"Ah!!!!"
A roar that sounded almost inhuman echoed through the room.
A child who looked like a three- or four-year-old girl stood there, screaming in agony. Her features were identical to those of the ghostly life-form Nara Dan had just encountered.

the town was a tourist destination known for its strange badlands scenery.
Recently, though, it had been
