THE BASEMENT.

Chapter 1: The first blunder?

–Part 1–

[ ”Where am I? I can see anything.

Where is this place? Ah yes, someone hit me from behind. Did he do that? ” ]

Suddenly a line of light could be seen from behind. The door opened. A boy was standing there wearing a mask. But I already knew who that person was.

[ ”What are you doing? Why am I tied up? ” ]

I tried to say those words, but I couldn . My mouth was gagged up.
