But almost at the very instant it was about to swallow Lynn whole-
Its body abruptly froze in place.
In the darkness.
Countless crystal-clear threads had wound themselves densely around its body without anyone noticing. They suddenly tightened, binding it firmly in place.
Miss Doll's body gave off a faint glow. Fine threads wound around her fingers, and breathtaking streams of light shone in her eyes.
Clearly.
Miss Doll had already discovered the hunter lurking in the darkness.
And as an opportunist, what Miss Doll did best was set her trap in advance, then wait for the enemy to walk straight into it.

Overjoyed, Lynn pulled off his Plague Doctor Mask, revealing his handsome face.
"Don't you remember me?! The guy who fed you every day!"

With an (ΩДΩ) expression, it shot backward toward the backyard at an unimaginable speed.
Lynn's head was full of "??"
"After it!"
