The episode begins with Toto and Ron discussing the events of the previous night, including the discovery of a government official's corpse with snake-like bruising on the neck. Ron hints that there may be a human element behind the supposedly supernatural occurrences.

In a gathering with the villagers, Toto explains the murder that took place in Yadamura. He reveals that the "Yadagami-sama" they saw was actually a scroll attached to a tatami mat, manipulated to create the illusion of a vanished deity. This revelation shocks the villagers, especially Muroi.

Toto concludes that the mayor staged the illusion to divert suspicion from the villagers. He confronts the mayor, who initially denies any involvement but eventually admits to killing the official out of hatred for the dam project.

Ron uses his unique method to make the mayor confess further. The mayor, in a trance-like state, nearly falls into the waterfall but is saved by Toto and the villagers.

The episode takes an unexpected turn when Shepard, Spitz's long-lost brother, appears. He explains his disappearance 15 years ago, his involvement in the dam construction fraud, and his subsequent life in hiding due to threats from an unknown organization.

Shepard recounts the story of his life, including his role in the dam's construction and his decision to hide in the mountains after being targeted by a mysterious organization. The villagers had been protecting him all along.

The mayor admits to killing the policeman who had discovered Shepard and tried to blackmail the village. The situation escalated, leading to the policeman's murder.

The episode ends with a message from Emmerich, the director of BLUE, revealing the involvement of House M, a notorious criminal organization, in Ron's past and the broader narrative. This revelation paves the way for further confrontations and investigations into House M's activities and their impact on Ron's life.
