When a string of impossible murders begins, starting with the poisoning of a celebrated violinist, the mansion's sinister reputation takes on a horrifying new reality. Enter Hōsui Rintarō, an eccentric and brilliant detective whose methods blend arcane history, psychological analysis, and scientific rigor. He faces a killer seemingly beyond human comprehension, a "Dr. Faust" who crafts each death into a macabre, theatrical spectacle, leaving behind clues steeped in ancient curses and defiant paradoxes. As Hōsui delves into the mansion's labyrinthine secrets, he unearths a twisted family legacy rooted in a horrifying prophecy.
