What?
What's wrong?
Didn't you hear a baby's voice just now?
No, not really.
I heard it.
Don't you think it's scary to hear a baby's voice in a place like this?
The Voice of the Night
Did you see it?
Who are you?
What was that earlier?
It has nothing to do with you.
Forget about this.
Where is it?
The Corpse?
Makina.
It struck again.
As always only one victim.
And no sign of the Corpse.
Hey.
Oori.
Did you ever hear this story?
Which one?
The story about this high school girl that abandoned her baby after secretly giving birth.
Why are high school girls all you talk about?
Anyway.
They say that you can hear the baby crying at night.
Girls nowadays won't get scared by such a lame story.
But this is a true story.
Kagami?
I'm sorry.
I just don't feel like myself today.
Oori.
Could the baby have cast a curse on you?
I hope not.
Please tell me it didn't.
Because you and I are connected!
Idiot.
That hurts!
You bitch!
We've bought you some onigiri and rice gruel.
You should have told us you had a cold!
I'm sorry.
It was the Sekuu temple right?
Should I give them a call?
It's alright.
It's no good if I can't take care of myself.
Very well.
Do as you wish.
We're leaving.
Why?
He can't sleep when you guys are around.
We'll check on you another time.
See you.
Water.
Water...
Here.
Partenon
Tea shop
He's got a cold, so he's not coming.
Unbelievable.
You wanna go visit him?
You can dress up like a nurse?
Huh?
Not again.
Why here?
I don't remember getting cursed.
It's calling you.
Why me?
It's calling for help.
Alright.
Did you do the autopsy yet?
I don't know.
With some milk please.
It's a Corpse.
Don't lose it.
Don't screw up this time.
I can feel it too.
It's very close!
It's moving fast.
This one is different from the others.
Warning for high vehicles
I didn't even lose sight of it for one second.
Really.
Another one of its victims?
This time we've lost.
It's not about winning or losing.
What would you call it then?
The times that we lose, people get killed.
Identification
Name: Amakuda Setsuna
Sekuu temple
It couldn't possibly be an invisible Corpse.
How much longer are you going to waste my time?
I'm talking about you, Tagami.
The chance that Corpses will appear in this area are high.
I've got five of them, and Tagami ten.
This hospital is lacking someone in charge at the moment.
There is only one obstetrician in town using this advertisement.
All victims are young women.
One of them was pregnant.
A baby's voice?
Could a gynecologist or obstetrician have given stillbirth to women's babies, that then turned into Corpses?
And are now making victims?
A being with no attachment to this world couldn't possibly turn into a Corpse.
That Corpse the other day was merely a baby.
What are the results of the autopsy I asked for?
There are no results yet.
Above that, I fear something strange happened to the hospital.
Makina.
Inankan Clinic
Inankai
Why me?
Because you're the boy.
What do you want me to do?
Damn it.
My head is turning.
There, there.
There, there...
I can't make it because I've got a patient.
And I'm the only one here at the moment.
Please.
I don't know what to do now that my boyfriend left me.
That's how young people are lately.
You don't have to cry.
I'll make it all right.
Oh, you woke up, lad?
He fainted in front of the hospital yesterday.
He's got a very bad cold.
He probably didn't even know that I was an obstetrician.
I took care of him because I had no other choice.
It looks like he got well.
Thank you very much.
No no, there is no need to thank me.
Can I use your toilet?
It's right over there.
Well, I'll start the preparations.
Yes.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Eh, did you get pregnant?
It's the third time I run into you while chasing a Corpse.
This can't be a coincidence.
Did someone send you here?
Send me?
Forget it.
There's no time.
Hey.
Hey, wait!
Wait a moment!
Don't follow me!
Shikabane Hime or Hoshimura Makina?
Which one is your real name?
Shikabane Hime is the alias I take when I'm out to kill Corpses.
So can I call you Hoshimura-san?
Intensive Care Nursery
Out of the way.
What are you going to do?
Five women have been murdered by Corpses already.
Only thing we know is that a baby's voice could be heard at the crime scene.
Also there is a chance that all of those women have come to this hospital.
Only with that info you believe that this child is a Corpse?!
Watch closely.
That is not a newborn child.
It's already the size of a three month old baby.
Why would something like that be sleeping at a place like this?
That doctor's surely being used by a Corpse too.
Could you...
...help me?
But this child is not a monster!
It's just the outside!
Out of the way!
Stop it!
I'm sorry.
Well.
Do you get it now?
This is the smell of a Corpse.
I am dead.
Bodies don't lie.
That child is just the same.
It must have the same smell as I.
Smell it.
This boy only smells like milk.
You're lying!
I've had enough of you!
You'd better let that boy go.
I'm taking it with me.
That boys isn't a Corpse.
We are the ones who decide that.
Hoshimura-san!
The cells of a Corpse?
Yes.
I can clearly see the cells that can give birth to a Corpse in the victims bodies.
So somebody planted parts of a Corpse into the humans to change them into fake Corpses with some kind of technology?
Makina and the others are chasing fake Corpses, that are actually the victims?
That's why we couldn't find the Corpse.
In the end the victims returned to their human form and died.
But could that be possible?
It's happening.
We still know little about Corpses.
We can only acknowledge this.
But who could have...
Is someone trying to increase the number of Corpses?
Or could this be some kind of experiment.
But Kagami...
I heard that there are more corpses in the environment lately.
Not only that, I also heard that we aren't always the ones chasing them anymore.
Don't be foolish, Rika.
I'm the best leader ever.
I'm not just a group leader like you.
I may not have deserved my promotion but...
Makina and I will get those Corpses.
I can promise you that.
Makina?
There, there.
There, there, there.
I can't believe that a Corpse obeys a human.
Does it look strange to you?
That baby is hers.
Unfortunately, she had a heart attack while giving birth.
And then...
She turned into a Corpse.
So you know.
If I wouldn't be here, nobody would take care of that boy.
That's why she obeys my will.
Impossible.
Corpses...
I heard some rumors about them from other doctors.
Deceased humans coming back from the dead...
...under a strange form of life.
Who could have thought those rumors to be true?
Don't you think it would be wonderful if humans could control the undead?
Are you going to put that in a human?
Even by doing that you won't become immortal!
I see.
You are the one who did that to those women!
I will succeed some day.
I knew that people like you would come some day.
Somebody warned me about you.
Hoshimura-san!
Hoshimura?
Many years ago a family called Hoshimura died when their house burned down.
Are they your family?
You aren't turning into a monster.
I should have given you a greater dose.
No reaction at all?
But I'll just continue the experiment.
I'm that Hoshimura.
I am the daughter of the family who died in that fire.
But the cause of death wasn't the fire.
I've already died once, so a Corpse's flesh won't do anything to me.
You know.
I've already become a Corpse anyway.
So maybe It would have been better If I'd Iost all my humanity.
Trying to become human again...
Or maybe something close to it.
Do you really think you're any different from a monster?
Only the fact that you are helping humans turn into Corpses...
You are already a Corpse.
And I am...
It's useless!
Corpses are immortal!
I am the immortal killer.
Shikabane Hime!
Stop it!
This man has caused at least five corpses to enter this world.
And five deaths.
You are a Corpse killer!
He is even inferior to Corpses.
Even so, he is human!
Just like you!
I am not human!
What?
Brother?
Why?
I can't...
My head is turning.
Brother?
I never heard of someone going to a gynecologist when having a bad cold.
Eh?
The police contacted us.
So I came to get you.
That doctor got arrested they say.
They said you were sleeping while everything happened.
I see.
Did something happen?
Say?
Wasn't there a girl and a baby there?
Not at all.
Your fever probably caused you to dream that.
That's something Sasae gave you.
You would probably need it if you want to dream about women.
Are you trying to make me do this even when I have a fever?
Oori is a pervert!
It's not me!
Why does your brother always appear when there's Corpses around?
Maybe he's stalking you.
Someday he'll find out about you too, Keisei!
That's why I will never fire you.
Well?
Of course.
We shall take care of the baby.
We've got an orphanage for cases like this.
What do you say?
Doctor Rokuoka.
Could you please explain to me?
Did you think that using Corpse's cells was the only chance to prolong your wife's life?
I'm sure that somebody put you up to this experiment.
Whoever that is, it's probably a dangerous person with much knowledge about Corpses.
Could you please tell me who it is?
To be continued
The new world has already...
...turned into a mere mirage in front of our eyes. Now!
When these boring days are over,
My possibilities will be endless.
Hold me now, Sign of hope, Let me stay with you.
I can't lose to this solitude, I must prepare my heart.
I can't let my future and dreams end.
Tomorrow is not fiction.
Hold me now, Sign of hope, Let me stay with you.
I can't lose to this solitude, I must prepare my heart.
I can't let my future and dreams end.
Tomorrow is not fiction.
Next time
Can you really trust him?
That man you call 'brother'.
Can't you hear it now?
It's ridiculing you.
