The game began, and the first person suspected was the other half of the strange girl duo, a girl named Asahi. One of the Beach members questioned Asahi, pointing out that she and Momoka were usually inseparable, so why wasn't she with Momoka when she died? Nira, from the militant faction, was eager to act and immediately wanted to burn Asahi to see if she was the witch.
In this critical moment, Kano Mirai stopped everyone's actions. Yuzuha followed up by asking a fair question: did any of them have an alibi? If not, why should Asahi be burned? Nira smiled at Yuzuha and said, "When the incident happened, you and I were in the room. You can prove my innocence." Anzu Tsukasa then asked everyone to tell her their alibis. At that moment, someone noticed that Anzu was holding a blood-stained handkerchief. Anzu explained that it was Danma Hikaru's blood and had nothing to do with the deceased Momoka. It was then that the Beach members learned the news of Danma's death. Anzu said the Beach executives had kept it secret to avoid causing panic and revealed that Danma had been killed by a member of the Beach. A female member suggested that Danma's death might also be the work of the witch, who must be among the militant faction members in charge of the weapons. As soon as she finished speaking, she was stabbed to death by Samura Ryōin.
Shortly after, Kuni appeared and demanded that the witch confess. If no one confessed, he threatened to kill everyone outside the militant faction. Naturally, no one confessed, and the militant faction began a massacre of the Beach residents. Seeing the situation turning dire, everyone scattered and fled. Yuzuha rescued Asahi and, before leaving, grabbed a phone—she intended to save Arisu.
The militant faction members slaughtered the Beach members and burned the bodies. Nira hunted Beach members on the rooftop, while Samura Ryōin poured gasoline inside the building, adding to the chaos.
Mizuki found Anzu Tsukasa rummaging through drawers. Anzu explained that she was looking for cyanoacrylate gel to extract the killer's fingerprints from the knife embedded in Momoka's chest. With the fingerprints, they could identify the witch. It turned out that Anzu had previously worked in the forensic department of the police agency. At that moment, Anzu and Mizuki encountered Samura Ryōin. Mizuki told Anzu to go ahead while she stayed behind to deal with Samura.
Elsewhere, Nira, who was enjoying the thrill of the massacre, recalled his past—how he used to have an honest appearance but was always bullied by delinquents. Just then, Kyūya appeared. Nira had long held a grudge against Kyūya, and this was the perfect opportunity to settle the score once and for all.
Mizuki was incredibly agile, dodging several of Samura's attacks. Samura grew curious about what Mizuki had done before all this. Mizuki lied and said she was a clothing store clerk. But what he didn't know was that Mizuki was originally male, born into a family of martial artists. Mizuki had always enjoyed wearing makeup, but her father couldn't accept it—how could a real man wear makeup? Mizuki eventually chose her own path and ran away from home. When she returned, she had completed her gender transition. By then, her mother was seriously ill and bedridden. Upon seeing Mizuki after her transition, her mother expressed understanding and acceptance of Mizuki's choice.
Kyūya accused Nira of being the witch, arguing that only the executives knew about the main power supply and that the militant faction had the keys to the basement. Therefore, Kyūya intended to kill all the executives. The two exchanged words and soon came to blows. Kyūya threw a deck of playing cards into the air. While Nira was distracted by the falling cards, Kyūya shot him with a homemade flamethrower pistol. engulfed in flames, Nira fell from the high building.
Meanwhile, Mizuki asked Samura what he had done before. Samura recalled his past: he had been an online writer, but no one read his articles. After coming to this world and participating in the games, he realized that this was the world he wanted. He covered his body with tattoos and began to enjoy himself in the杀戮 of this world. Then, Samura and Mizuki began to fight again. Samura had no professional training, so when Mizuki got serious, a single side kick knocked him down. Samura started smashing liquor bottles and glasses on the ground. Since Mizuki was barefoot, the shattered glass restricted her movement. However, her father's past training and her desire to care for her sick mother gave Mizuki a strong will to survive. She began to ignore the glass shards under her feet and steadied her stance. Mizuki delivered a kick to Samura's vital points, killing him instantly.
Arisu was tied to a chair, and thick smoke caused his consciousness to blur, plunging him into a dying hallucination. In the illusion, his former friends were gathered together, living a simple but happy life. The illusionary friends urged Arisu to live on. At that moment, Arisu woke up. He mustered all his strength to push the tape off his mouth with his tongue and began to shout. Soon after, Yuzuha and the others found Arisu and rescued him.
Arisu and the other three began to analyze and piece together their thoughts to identify the witch. After Anzu removed the knife from Momoka's chest, she successfully extracted fingerprints and seemed to have discovered the answer. However, two militant faction members knocked her out. With only 20 minutes left in the game, Arisu suddenly stood up and announced that he roughly knew who the witch was...
