Chapter 3 Courtyard
"Well, just kidding. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Sulfur suddenly sat up straight as if nothing had happened, "Does Mr. Zohei think I'm a boy?" β
"How...... How so? Only then did he realize that he had been tricked by Sulfur again. He gasped for breath and smiled wryly.
"So, if you meet someone who is difficult to distinguish between genders, what will Tokitsuki Kaze do?" Sulfona asked earnestly.
"If it's a pretty boy like you, Tokitsuki Kazeno might be able to tell the fairy tale in a casual way." Xuan Ping shook his head and said, "I've talked to her several times, and I think that although she is very strange and a little special, she should not have the ability to distinguish between men and women at a glance. β
"In this case, whether it is a man or a woman still depends on the subjective judgment of Tokiki Kazeno." Sulfur nodded knowingly, "I have a guess here. It's not so much that Kazeno Tokitsuki brought death to the person she thought was a girl, but that he saw the death on the girl's body. β
"What does that mean?"
"As I said before, Tokitsuki Kaze, as a girl, may be able to understand the situation and hearts of other girls. It's not so much that Tokitsuki Kaze brought death, it's better to say that the tragedy was there, but Tokitsuki Kazeno saw it. Don't you think that girls who go out in the middle of the night are prone to some cases? β
"You mean ......"
In other words, Tokitsuki Kaze may have had his own misfortune. As an adolescent girl, she also has a lot of unspeakable distress. Suffering, she saw others who were suffering, so she naturally started talking to them. If a boy goes to her, but he encounters a problem that Tokitsuki Kazeno can also relate to, then Tokitsuki Kazeno will tell her fairy tale. It's not that Tokitsuki Kaze caused the girl's tragedy, but Tokitsuki Kaze is a girl, so she can perceive the tragedy of the girl. β
Sulfona spoke a long sentence in one breath, and then gulped down several sips of fruit tea. The cool sweetness moistened Sulfona's throat, and she turned her gaze to Honpei again. He looked ahead in silence, as if he was thinking carefully.
"Does Mr. Hiropyeong think what I said is wrong?"
"No...... I think what you said makes a lot of sense......" Hunpei breathed a sigh of relief as if he had given up, "I was just thinking, why didn't I think of this?" It's been a long time since I've met Kazeno Tokitsuki, but I've never thought about her. I only think of her as a seed of tragedy, and all I can think of is to prevent the girl from approaching Kazeno Tokiki. I'm so useless......"
"Compared to me sitting here thinking and talking nonsense. Mr. Hoehei, who really takes action, is more reliable. Sulfona chuckled.
"Speaking of which, Tokitsuki Kaze is actually a good-hearted girl?" Huanping said with difficulty while thinking about what happened to his sister. Although it is a little difficult to change for a while, facing up to reality is also one of the advantages of Zoping.
"That maybe. But I don't think so. Spina tapped the table with her slender fingertips and said, "No matter how kind a person is, he will pollute his own heart to some extent if he constantly causes the tragedy of others. Actually, I'd love to meet her ......."
"That's not going to work!" Xuan Ping involuntarily stood up and said loudly. It wasn't until he really finished speaking that he realized that he had become the focus of everyone's attention in this small cafΓ©. A sense of shame gripped him, and he longed to find a crack in the ground to get into. Compared with. Sulfona's reaction was sparse and ordinary.
"Why is it so loud all of a sudden? Mr. Tsupyeong. Are you worried that if I meet Kazeno Tokiki, I will also meet with misfortune? It's good that you're worried, but I don't think it's a problem. β
"That'...... I can't tell...... "I said, scratching his head.
"But, I really want to see it." Sulfur gently straightened her hair and said, "If you think about it, whether Kazeno Tokitsuki is a good person or a weirdo, an angel or a demon, she can understand those girls who fall into tragedy. The girls were running away from home in the middle of the nightβthere must have been something distressing. There is no place to vent these anguishes, and no one can even understand them. Only Kazeno Tokitsuki, a stranger, can open the hearts of those fragile girls. Mr. Hirohei, take me to meet her......"
"Even if you say so......"
"It's hard for Mr. Zohei to work hard alone. I'm useless, but I still want to be Mr. Tsuhei's partner! I don't want the tragedy that Mr. Zohei said to happen again. β
If it was a girl like Sulfona who looked up at Pyeping with big eyes and made a request, Pyeong would not be able to refuse at all. In desperation, Tsuhei still took Sulfur to the old house where Tokitsuki Kaze was always there. By this time, it was already late at night, and the atmosphere on the streets was a little eerie. The asphalt road, built during the day to make it easier for people to pass, looks like a black river at midnight that stretches to the unknown beyond.
The cold wind swept across his cheeks, and he shivered involuntarily, and he turned to Sulfura and said in a solemn tone.
"It's not a fun thing, and if you don't get it right, someone will die. When you see her again, don't believe whatever she says. And never go to see her alone. β
"Eh, Mr. Zoping is really worried." Sulfona chuckled lightly.
He pushed his bicycle and quickly walked to the old neighborhood with Sulfona, where there were many abandoned houses and a small park in the middle of the block. He used to play in this park when he was a child, but now the equipment in the park has long since become rusty and unusable. Tokitsuki Kaze is the residence of his grandfather, and it stands in these old houses. When you open the rusty fence gate, you can see a large mansion with Japanese architecture, and an elegant courtyard with rockeries and garden trees. But no matter how luxurious it was before, it is now just an empty house. It seems that birds and other animals have been kept in the house, and the cage with a metal mesh can be peeked out from between the trees in the courtyard. The white-walled dwelling was covered with a layer of dust and looked dirty. The stepping stones in the courtyard are buried by long weeds, and the randomly growing garden trees are entwined with vines. From the outside, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a witch's garden.
However, there is no shadow of the gothic girl that Hirohei said.
"Aren't you here today?" Hunpyeong muttered, "But she should be there every day." β
Sulfur didn't regret not being able to see Kaze Tokitsuki, she just walked around the courtyard in the morning. There were also some balls of thread hanging from the slightly long weeds, which Sulfura guessed were traces left by Kazeno Kazuki when her long skirt was mopping the floor. Sulfona had long noticed that the fence gate in this courtyard was clean, which must have been the reason why it was used so often. There was no dust on the courtyard stones, and Sulfona could imagine a young girl in a long black lace-trimmed skirt sitting quietly on the courtyard stone with her skirt folded. As if driven by something, Sulfur gathered her skirt and sat down on the courtyard stone. The calf area is rubbed by the small grass tip, and there is a slight tingling sensation. Suddenly, Sulfona noticed something cold and hard at hand.
Sulfur instinctively realized that this must be something that Kazeno Tokitsuki had left here. She thought it was a water glass or something. But when she picked it up, she let out an exclamation.
"What's wrong?!" Hearing the change, Hiropyeong hurriedly ran to Sulfona's side. Sulfona was holding a pitch-black utility knife in her hand, and although it was not obvious in the night, he still saw fresh blood stains on it. Since ancient times, it has been believed that blood is the source of human life. The warm blood that remains on the utility knife like paint is like a passing life.
In an instant, Tsuhei overlapped the figures of Sulfona and Tokitsuki Kazuno, who were sitting on the courtyard stone. Both girls are so quiet and so mysterious. But he quickly shook his head and dismissed his delusions.
"It's a terrible thing...... "Heeping thought about it and decided to take the utility knife away from the frightened Sulfona, "I'll give this to me." β
However, he was not able to take the utility knife. Sulfona clutched it tightly.
"She's here! Just now, the girl was sitting here and stabbed herself. Sulfur said as she aimed her utility knife at her wrist. The sharp blades and white wrists make for an eerie picture. Pyeong nodded involuntarily, he felt that Sulfona's words were strangely persuasive.
"But with so little bleeding, there's no problem."
"There was very little bleeding, and that's because she had just cut open the wound she had previously made." Sulfona scrutinized the tiny utility knife. Wrapped around the handle of the utility knife was a fine, dense strip of white cloth stained with specks of blood, "That girl must have cut herself often." The cut heals, and the cut heals again. The marks on the utility knife were proof, and she had cut her wound open again and sat there quietly......"
As Sulfur narrated it, Pyeuna couldn't help but sketch out the scene in his mind.
Why would she do that? Is she hating herself? Or is it some kind of religious ritual, or is it self-punishment? "And why would she throw this knife, which she often uses and stabs herself, in the grass?" β
Suddenly, Ping thought of a possibility.
"Maybe something more important than this has happened. So she dropped the knife and walked away. β
"What could be more important than a cut wrist?" Sulfona muttered, "Stabbing yourself is a human step in trying to die......"
"I see! It's the 'death of others'! Pyeong suddenly shouted involuntarily, "Today! It must be today! Today is the day when the girl who listened to the fairy tale of Tokitsuki Kaze is gone! So she was gone suddenly! β
Pyeong began to complain about his hindsight, and he should have been paying attention to it all the time. Unexpectedly, another girl followed in the footsteps of her sister.
"Any clues?" At this time, Sulfona's voice was surprisingly calm. Thanks to this, Hohei was able to continue to think normally.
"I seem to have seen a girl the other day, and she has a look on her face like she is going to die. That gloomy and distressed aura feels pitiful when you look at it. Could it be her? "But after I went up and talked, the girl was hostile to me. We didn't make up a decent conversation. β
"Do you remember what that girl's uniform looked like?"
"I remember that...... But I don't know where that uniform is. β
"It doesn't matter, could you please tell me about the characteristics of that uniform?"
Sulfur carefully took out a large notebook like a diary and a pen from the small bag she was carrying, and drew it simply according to the narrative of Tsubi. To her surprise, Sulfona's drawing skills far exceeded the average level of a girl of her age. After several revisions, Sulfur drew a sketch that closely resembled the impression of Tsubihei.
"It's a neighborhood middle school." Sulfur looked at it for a while and said, "If Tokitsuki Kaze is dragging his long skirt over, Mr. Tsuhei should be able to catch up with him on a bicycle." Please drag me along. β
"Then we'll go now!"
