When an elderly woman delivers a cryptic envelope containing the words "Velvet Blood" in crimson ink, Mr. A is thrust back into the darkness. Strange letters, cryptic symbols, and a series of unsettling murders bearing a chilling resemblance to the crimes of 2006 lead him to suspect that someone is mimicking Satsujin Sha's methods—or worse, continuing his twisted work. As Mr. A investigates, he uncovers a sinister connection to an old cult that had once worshipped Lemic.
As the investigation intensifies, Mr. A finds himself being watched, his every move observed by unknown figures. The tension escalates when he receives a photograph of his bookstore—taken from across the street—suggesting that the past has caught up with him. His search for answers leads him to a forgotten figure from the past, Daniel Cain, a former cult member. The confrontation with Cain uncovers the truth: the cult's influence remains, and its dark agenda continues to manipulate events.
