Shinkansen, invaded by Akudama, departs from Kansai Station. Unexpectedly, the black cat says that if he robs the safe, the operation will be successful. However, the time limit is only 10 minutes. After that, you will enter the area of death called the “absolute isolation area”.
To make matters worse, the two members of the execution department also boarded the Shinkansen. The execution section’s response is left to the “fighting shop”, and the “general people” head for the leading vehicle with a safe, but the “courier” stops for some reason.
