The footsteps are getting closer, and the sound is getting louder.

Grabbing the door panel, I thought of the window, and I stepped one foot out.

I stepped on the window edge outside to ensure that I stepped on it firmly.

Then he stepped out with his other foot and closed the window.

Closing the window back on it, I squatted down and moved half of my body out of the window.

At this time, his feet were rubbing against the outer wall with difficulty, and his hands were clutching the edge of the lower window.

I tilted my head down and tilted my head to look inside the small attic.

The ears are slightly attached to the window, and I can hear every move inside.

"Are you sure you received the telegram?"

"It's still fake, you look at the door. The handles were smashed off, and someone must have broken in. ”

"Is it going to be in disrepair and rotting? We haven't been up to this attic for six or seven years. ”

"Why are you talking about this, just go in and see. ”

I frowned slightly when I heard this, and the voices of several people were all very familiar to me.

"Wait, maybe they're still inside. ”

"I'll open the door, and you four will block it. ”

"Hmm. ”

Four doors, one door, the voice so familiar, it must be five priests.

At this moment, the rusty hinge turned hard, and I turned my head to the side and looked into the small attic.

Five people rushed in with flashlights and mobile phones, and I knew all the identities of the five people. It was none other than my five priests, headed by the bearded priest. Father of the Sea was the last to come in and stood in a row in the attic that shone on every corner of the small attic.

"No one. ”

"Definitely ran away, Daigo. Are you sure you've received the telegram?"

"You can't be wrong, the five short sounds must have come from here. The door was also smashed, which is still fake. ”

"Who's on duty today?"

"It seems to be a road bridge, and the door was not closed when I first came in. ”

"Which of you has that dead kid's phone?"

"The sea, the sea must have survived. ”

"I'll fight, don't worry. The sea said.

With a shudder, I let go of a hand clutching the window rim and went deep into my pocket to press the lock screen button and volume down to force the shutdown.

I didn't dare to look at the screen, for fear that the screen would glow and be discovered by the people inside. If I can't turn it off at this moment, I'll probably be done.

Ten seconds, twenty seconds of waiting.

"What's wrong?"

"It doesn't work. ”

"Will something happen to the road and bridge?"

"Will you be tied up? I should have left work early. ”

"What our grandparents feared happened?"

"Have you seen any suspicious people coming to church lately?"

"It's all acquaintances, and there are no strange faces. ”

"Lift it up and see what's missing, it would be bad if something was taken out of this room. ”

After speaking, the five of them began to get busy.

Lift the four wooden tables open.

"Look at the clothes. ”

"You three go down, and here you leave me and the sea. See if people are still hiding in the church, and remember to stay alone. ”

The footsteps faded away, and the three of them left the small attic.

At this time, there were two other people in the small attic, namely the bearded priest and the sea.

"You see, the sea is the one that has been touched. The dust on the buttons on the telegraph is wiped off, you see. ”

"Dust, to dust. Let's not move. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Look down at your feet, and you can tell what the people who have done have done by removing our traces. ”

"That's right, let's take a look at our feet together. ”

The light jumped several times and actually shone on the side of the window, and the window was illuminated.

I pressed down hard, turning my head completely away from looking into the small attic.

"Has anyone been to the window?"

"Looks like yes, and went more than once. None of our people have been to the window before, have they?"

"I'll go and see, you're watching. ”

"Wait, I'll go and see. I don't understand this telegraph, you see if it's broken by the person who broke in. ”

I heard the voice clearly, and it was the sea that said it.

"Well, you just take a look at it and don't poke your head out. Maybe they're looking up from below, and they can't act rashly when they don't know who is on the other side. ”

I don't know what the priests were worried about, but it seems from their accounts that some of them coveted the things behind the door.

Typewriters, telegraphs, military uniforms and flags of island countries?

What does all of this mean above? I'm confused at this point.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer to me, as if I was standing in front of the window.

I could feel the difference between the sea and me at the moment.

"See what?" said the bearded priest's voice in the distance.

My hand gripping the window edge was a little sore, but if I let go, I might fall off the tower.

The head of the sea was attached to the window, and I looked at the sea in all directions.

My heart was pounding and pounding, faster and faster.

The sea watched as I slowly raised my left hand and put my index finger to my lips.

I could see that it meant to keep me quiet and not make a sound.

"No, there's nothing outside. The sea said.

"I guess I came to the window to see my position after coming up. ”

"Nothing has been lost, let's go down and meet them." The sea said.

"The sea, do you think it will be a road bridge?"

"What is the road bridge?" said the sea.

"This kid is usually silent, could there be something wrong with him?"

"You think too much, I grew up watching the road and bridge. How old it was at the time, it couldn't be a bad guy. And I also know his character, honestly. The sea said.

"Will it be bought? After all, it's such a big child. ”

"Now you wonder what the road and bridge are?" said the sea.

"I know you're biased, we said everyone stays for a day. As long as one observes that something is wrong with the child, they will not tell him the secret, but instead make him the heir. Luqiao made us all satisfied, but then who refused to tell him this secret? Who said that he wanted to be a normal person? Isn't it all you? ”

"We have no right to deprive others of their freedom, and Luqiao is not obligated to inherit our secret. The sea said.

"Did our parents give us a choice, as you said? Did our five families have a choice when they waited for this church for generations?"

At this moment, several footsteps came up.

"Why are you arguing again?"

"We've seen it, and there's no one in the church. ”

"We didn't argue, it's not about the road and bridge. At that time, the sea swore that he wanted Luqiao to inherit this church, but after Luqiao was eighteen years old, he said that he was just an outsider, and we had no way to restrain him. I think you're getting emotional, and you're dizzy. ”

"Didn't we say that this matter would be over like this? Why did you mention it? Besides, now that the road and bridge are gone, don't talk about it. ”

"At that time, it was all said that the immediate family would come. I don't mention this matter to Luqiao, and I don't know if they will tie up Luqiao. ”

"Okay, I'll not say anything. Think about the sea yourself, it's really unlucky. ”

"Let's wait for what to do. ”

"Let's disperse, but I'm going to leave someone here today and can't sleep. We'll repair the iron gate tomorrow and reinforce it, so let's wait for one of the five people to stay. ”

The sea said, "I'll stay, you all have people in your family." My daughter is in graduate school, and my wife will give me a phone call to explain. ”

"I'm sorry for you, we'll fix it early in the morning. The matter of the road and bridge, if someone really takes the road and bridge at that time, let us choose to tell the secret or tear up the ticket. We can only choose to tear up the ticket, I hope you can understand. ”

The footsteps of going out sounded, intermittently getting farther and farther away.

The sea came quickly, took off the wooden window, and reached out and grabbed my arm.

At this time, I had no strength anymore, and was pulled back to the small attic by the sea.

"Ask, I know you're full of doubts right now. The sea gasped and said.
