His circumstances take a surprising turn, however, when a chance encounter brings him face to face with the celebrated entomologist Izumo Kusanagi. Chono is stunned by the gracious hospitality extended by Kusanagi and his beautiful daughter, Toko. Yet the estate's warm and welcoming atmosphere conceals a sinister secret. What exactly does Dr. Kusanagi's research entail? And has Chono already become ensnared in a deadly web of terror?
