Chapter 17: Escaped from the Hospital

(At the science lab)

Tanjiro: WE HAVE TO UNSCRAMBLE A SENTENCE!

Sol: It will take time. Let's start.

All the students worked together to unscramble the sentence. Once they are done, the sentence reads, 'There is no secret that time doesn't reveal'.

Student 1 (crying): I told you all, it is her ghost; she wants to kill us all.

Tanjiro: Speaking of killing, how come no one

Sol: WAIT! Did you hear that?

Tanjiro: Hear what?

Someone screamed. It came from outside; let's go!

Tanjiro and Sol rush outside only to find Mr. Jinta's hand stabbed with a glass piece by none other than Taki.

Tanjiro: YOU! What are you doing here? You are supposed to be in the hospital!

Taki turns around to find Tanjiro and Sol behind him. Taki smirks at them.

Taki: You, you monster!

Taki throws himself onto Sol and starts choking her, only to get a tight punch in his face. Both Taki and Tanjiro break into a fight. Taki gets hold of Tanjiro's neck and hovers on top, but Tanjiro manages to hover on top of him instead.

Taki pushes him away, and Tanjiro's head hits the ground. Taki tries to hit again, but Tanjiro dodges and catches hold of Taki's neck while pinning him to the ground. Taki starts struggling to break free when he suddenly notices a glass bottle.

He took it and hit it on Tanjiro's head, breaking the bottle. Using the broken bottle, he cuts Tanjiro's arm, and it starts to bleed. Taki takes that chance and tries to stab him with a broken glass bottle, but at that very moment, he gets hit on the head with a rock by Mr. Jinta.

Taki gets hit multiple times until his skull is completely smashed by the rock. Mr. Jinta pants heavily as Taki's blood drips all over his face and shirt.

Mr. Jinta: He was in school the whole time. Surely he is the one behind

Mysterious voice: Time for the next question.

Tanjiro: I can't believe this; if the one behind this is not Taki, then who could it possibly be? What do you think? Sol? SOL? Where are you?

Mr. Jinta: SOL, WHERE ARE YOU? Tanjiro, start checking the first floor. I'll check the ground floor. We can't afford to lose another life.
