As long as they keep those rocks, they stay alive. But the guardian of the mountain sends two people after the survivors to get the rocks back, in the disguise of two children killed in the crash. Originally under the title \"Dust 18\" (and was meant to be 18 chapters). It was not popular during serialization, and thus was not able to properly conclude.

He murders an old lady who is a loan shark and flees with her valuables.

A genius may commit murder but is not guilty if it is for the good of the world.\" At first, Rascalnikov feels invincible and confident that he can elude the law, but the Judge Polifili obstinately persists in his investigation, and gradually Rascalnikov comes to feel cornered. In the meantime, Sonya, a prostitute, frantically tries to persuade Rascalnikov to turn himself in. All this takes place on the eve of the Russian Revolution.
