A group of people from a university club, the Haiya Poetry Club, go to the Seven Stars Pavilion, a residence, to meet. The previous owner was a fan of the Three Kingdoms and had placed various exhibits related to Zhuge Liang in the building. When the owner’s son drives his car off a cliff and burns to death, the house is thrown into panic… The mystery writer Bai Yuexi is accidentally given a handwritten diary of a schoolboy, Hai, who transforms the real world at will by manipulating blocks, ending with a bloodstain the size of a child’s palm. On the advice of Detective Mildred, he begins to investigate the contents of the handwritten note and its source, gradually getting closer to a bizarre murder. Challenges the classic closed circle mystery model. Winner of the 7th Shimada Shoji Award for Excellence in Science Fiction. 84
