Inside a mountain in Nishitama.
Jasmine walked slowly and carefully through the valley.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDespite it being winter, evergreen plants such as pines and cypresses were growing densely along the valley. Moreover, the valley was dark and cold. There was no trace of any human beings, not even a lonely pathway. Therefore, it was very challenging to walk through these pathways.
It was taxing for the experts at expeditions to walk swiftly through the valleys, let alone an amateur like Jasmine. Fortunately, it was winter, and Jasmine had wrapped herself warmly in a thick cashmere windbreaker paired with a black midi skirt with black corset leggings as well as a pair of black leather boots. Therefore, her skin would not be exposed to those pine needles, dry branches, and leaves. 2 At the moment, Jasmine had adapted to the darkness inside the valley. She could have used her mobile phone's torchlight, with its broken screen, to light up her surroundings, which could save her senergy.
Nevertheless, she was afraid that those culprits who had not given up on her might still be looking for her. Thus, she dared not turn on the torchlight.
She checked her phone for signals every once in a while. Then, she hid her mobile phone inside her windbreaker. She wrapped her head and mobile phone into her windbreaker to avoid the shine from the brightness of the light. 3 After exploring the valley for nearly two to three hours, Jasmine was, nonetheless, still physically very strong. However, her hand and face, which had been scratched by those branches repeatedly, were full of tiny red marks, and red veins were visibly seen.
Jasmine no longer cared about her pain. Her only desire was to find a way out from the mountain and stay alive no matter what.

He already knew in his mind that his trip to Tokyo was simply an action taken to put on a show for Lord Moore.
As soon as Jasmine's dead body was found, he would express his grief. After that, he would pass the case to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for further investigation. He would then bring Jasmine's corpse o r ashes back to Aurous Hill for the funeral ceremony.
While on the way to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in the car, Reuben received a call from America.
He pressed the accept button, and from the phone, chis father, Tyler's voice. "Hello, Reuben. Are you free to talk now?"
