"So, did you come all the way to me?"

The girl, covered in a black gothic loli dress, plays with her long and gorgeous hair. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info seemed to be a little afraid to break the silence of the late night, Feng Nai frowned, looking at the man who was out of breath on his knees.

"Why do you think all this has anything to do with me?"

"Probably because of the eyes." "The look in my eyes before Sulfura disappeared...... Reminds me of Yuko. I was chasing Yuko's footsteps in the building, and then she fell down the stairs unsteadily on her feet. Yuko looked at me in mid-air, and I felt exactly the same as Sulfona's. ”

"Even if that's it...... So why do you think I'm going to help you? Tokitsuki Kazeno sat on the courtyard stone, shaking his two calves wrapped in white socks, "After all, I can be a witch who sings about death in the night......"

"I don't know why, but I think you'll tell me if you ask." Hirohei stared into Kazeno's eyes and said, "I think you're such a person. ”

"It's really an illogical and reckless judgment......" Kazeno sighed after being silent for a long time, "I was already planning to stop getting involved in this matter, but for the sake of your stupidity being poured out in front of me, I will mock you a little in return......"

Tokitsuki Kazeno said something awkward, and then changed to the tone of her conversation with the lost girl.

"Sulfona...... Or rather, Ringo, she is the happy prince. ”

"Happy Prince......" Xuan Ping was stunned for a moment, and he found that he seemed to have vaguely seen this fairy tale in a Chinese reader.

"That's right, a fairy tale written by the English writer Oscar Wilde. An English writer who admired Shakespeare clashed with a marquis and was imprisoned in middle age for charges such as 'bad morals'. The Happy Prince is one of his most representative early fairy tales, and some say that his aestheticism resonates with the 'truth', 'sorrow', 'beauty', and 'silence' pursued by Japanese literature. The Happy Prince tells the story of the Happy Prince, who did not know what sorrow was in his life, became a statue after his death, and after witnessing all kinds of suffering in the world, he got rid of the swallow and gave everything he had to the poor, and finally died with the swallow. ”

"You say...... Is Sulfona the Happy Prince? "It's true that the 'happiness of all' she pursues is very similar to the story of the Happy Prince...... But I think there's a difference. But it's all up to you! ”

"No, I didn't do anything." Feng Nai shook his head, "Your senses are also very keen, the current Sulfur is indeed not a happy prince, and I myself don't want her to become a happy prince and then sacrifice." She wants to become a happy prince by herself. ”

"I want to be...... The Happy Prince? ”

"That's right. I'd like to ask you a question......" Kazeno gave a weird smile to Tsuhei, "If you encounter a problem that you can't solve, what will you choose?" ”

"Can't you solve the problem?" Xuan Ping touched his head, "Go find someone else to help?" ”

"What if no one else understands your difficulty?" "Or if you're locked in a secret room and can't get out, what will you do?" ”

"Then ......," Junping thought for a moment, "maybe I can only pray to the gods......

"That's right, you will pray to the gods and ask the gods to help you with supernatural powers." Kazeno nodded, "Sulfona did the same. She herself was stuck in a completely unsolvable bug, so she came to me for help. ”

"You mean...... Do you have supernatural powers? Hiropyeong asked in surprise.

"Who knows?" Kaze smiled mysteriously, "But aren't you surprised? Yuko, who was abused by her mother and wreaked havoc on the school...... Don't you think she's too awe-inspiring in terms of physical ability? He was able to break lockers and break walls with just the handle of the cloth. And Gretel, who is determined to kill the witch - that is, your sister Mitsuki. After killing the murderer, she cut off her misunderstood finger and began to make cakes. The average person is unable to maintain consciousness in the case of excessive blood loss. I must have sensed the unreasonableness in it, so I wanted to use this unreasonableness to solve the problem. ”

“…… I see, that's what you mean when you say that Sulfura wants to be the 'Happy Prince'. Because the happy prince in the fairy tale has helped many people with the gems on his body, Sulfona, who wants to make everyone happy, wants to do the same. "But I don't understand, didn't the Happy Prince end in tragedy?" ”

"It may seem like a tragedy to you, but it may not be the same in the eyes of Sulfona." Tokitsuki Kazeno shook her head, "Maybe she thinks this is the best ending for herself?" ”

"Why don't you stop her? She's the same as those girls who are caught up in dark fairy tales, she can still be saved. "You know she wants to be the Happy Prince, and you know she'll die." Why are you ......?"

"Do you think it's going to be easy to stop Sulfona?" Tokitsuki Kazeno also glared and said, this is the first time Tsuhei has seen Kazeno angry, "I am at the mercy of her like this, and I don't want to do it myself!" But when I meet girls in the middle of the night, tell them the fairy tale that fits - that's the rule I set for myself. Sulfona grabbed my rules, and I couldn't help it. Zun Ping, are you underestimating Sulfona? Although I don't know what she usually looks like in front of you, she is actually very wise and close to demons, and never does things that she is not sure of. Since she chose to use me, she had completely blocked the possibility of me not cooperating. ”

“……”

"After all, shouldn't you be the one who stopped her?" Tokitsuki Kazuna's voice stabilized again, "If Sulfur is the Happy Prince, you are the swallow that witnessed Sulfur's self-destruction." Because she didn't want you to be buried with her, she did her best to get you away. You don't even notice that, do you...... After your sister had a conflict with Sulfona, Sulfona came to me and forced me to tell a fairy tale. Since then, she has chosen to sacrifice herself, which is why she avoids you far away. Didn't she slam you to the ground today? ”

"What?" He involuntarily touched his back, which was the part where Sulfur had been slammed to the ground, "I thought she was angry at the time." Because I spoke ill of her father......"

"Maybe she's angry, but judging from the results, she's still protecting you." Kazeno said, "Or maybe her anger is just a fake, to misunderstand you." That way, you won't be able to get into why she's avoiding you. If the swallow knew that the Happy Prince had donated the gems, then the swallow would have stayed by the Happy Prince anyway and gave up the migration. In order not to let the swallow freeze to death with him, the happy prince chooses to lie to you. He keeps saying that you should go and enjoy a happy life with Mitsuki, which is to persuade the swallows to migrate to the warm southland......"

“…… Is that so? ”

"So, you're underestimating Sulfona. You realize she's lying, but you don't understand what she's doing it. Kazeno sighed and said, "But it can't be helped, Sulfur is too far from most of the levels. She has the ability to read the hearts of others directly, and she is also good at calculations, constantly designing layouts to make events go in the direction she wants, and even I was used by her. It's horrible. ”

Although Tokitsuki Kazeno said this, his eyes were overflowing with sadness. Listening to her words, he must not have felt the reality in his heart. In his mind, Sulfona was just a beautiful girl with something special. However, he remembered the policeman's evaluation of Sulfona, and Mr. Police also said that Irona was a guy who was good at reading people's hearts.

"Well, it's the same as before." Tokitsuki Kazeno suddenly said in a mischievous tone, "I'm going to taunt you right now." Although you have seen many things about Sulfona, there are also many misunderstandings. First of all, you mistakenly think that Sulfona is the way she is because of her father's incident. ”

"Isn't that so?"

"It's naïve." Kazuno shook her head, "Do you think Sulfona's current anomaly can be cultivated overnight?" I don't think she would have been as skilled as she is now if she hadn't been manipulating people since birth. I think she started thinking about how to make everyone happy a long time ago. ”

“……”

"Because of this misunderstanding, you also misunderstood another thing." Kazeno stroked her hair bun and said, "You think Sulfona's father rushed into his daughter's room and plotted against him. Sulfona resisted desperately and stabbed her father......"

"This is indeed ......," he nodded, "I don't think Sulfona's father would have done such a thing, because she loved his wife so much. ”

"No, you're wrong again." Kazeno giggled, "It's because her father misses his deceased wife so much that she can't hold it when she sees Sulfona, who is very similar to his deceased wife." That incident must have happened shortly after Sulfona entered high school, and Sulfona had just put on her high school uniform. You know, Sulfona's mother and her father also met in high school. ”

"Do you mean ......?"

"That's right, I think Sulfura went to the same high school as her parents. You've seen her father's painting five years ago and mistaken it for Sulfona. This suggests that Sulfona was wearing the same school uniform as her mother. That's why her father can't control himself. Otherwise, her father might have done it when Sulfura was a junior high school student. ”

"But, I guess the result is the same." Hiropyeong asked confusedly.

"Of course not." Feng Nai sighed as if he felt that he was hopelessly stupid, "Let's take a look at your first misunderstanding...... If Sulfona has been quite abnormal since she was very young...... Do you think her father would have resisted if she had attacked her? ”

He opened his mouth and was about to say, "Of course I will resist," but he hesitated.

If it was that sulfona, maybe she really wouldn't have resisted. Faced with her father, whose eyes were bloodshot and had lost her usual calm posture, she might just lie on the bed and bite her lip silently. I see, so that the neighbors did not hear any change at all and explained it clearly. Because these two people can be regarded as Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

"But why was her father hurt?"

"When Sulfura and I first met, did you return my knife?" Tokitsuki Kaze did not answer the question.

"That's right."

"Obviously no one said it, but she knew it was a knife used to kill herself." Feng Nai stared at Xuan Ping and said, "Why is that?" If there are no people around you who often self-harm, there is no way to think about this direction. ”

"Are you saying that Sulfona often self-harms?"

"I don't think so, at least she didn't try to cut her wrists." Kazeno said, "You once grabbed Sulfona's left hand, and then she threatened to stab you with her right hand. In this case, her right hand should be her dominant hand, do you see a scar on her left hand? ”

Pyeping recalled Sulfona's fangsle, flawless arms.

"No ......"

"So, I don't think it's Sulfona who often hurts herself." "If you think about who is around Sulfona, it's easy to guess that her father often hurts himself. ”

"You mean...... "Tsupyei suddenly thought of a possibility, "You mean, in the middle of the attack, Sulfona's father suddenly found out about his conscience. And then start self-harming? ”

"That's right. According to the store manager, Sulfona and her father should cherish each other. Her father was ready to kill himself when he found out he had done such an ugly act—or rather he wanted to kill himself. "This unravels a new misunderstanding of yours." But to be precise, this misunderstanding should not come from you, but from the policeman. ”

"You mean ......?"

"On the issue that Sulfona called the police to protect her father's reputation." Kazeno smiled, "Maybe that's what Sulfur thought afterwards, but at that time, Sulfur was facing a more urgent crisis......

"What crisis?"

"Don't you think it's strange, Zunping? Your sister said that as soon as the police entered, they saw the man lying in a pool of blood and Sulfona with a dagger in hand. This is also confirmed by your police friends. ”

"What's so strange?"

"If Sulfona finds out that her father has lost too much blood, she will die. Shouldn't she call the emergency services before she calls the police? ”

"Ahh This way the first responders should arrive before the police. "But it was actually the police who arrived first." ”

"It's true that it was because it was far away, so I couldn't make it to such a situation. But I have a guess. "Even a doctor can't save a person who doesn't want to live." Sulfona found out that her father was constantly self-harming, so she decided that it would be better to call the police first than to call the police first, saying that she was killing her father. So that if his father died, the police would identify Sulfona as a criminal......"

"So?"

"So, when Sulfona's father heard that Sulfur had called the police, he immediately stopped committing suicide." "If he continues to commit suicide, her daughter will become a murderer. If it was the father who loved his daughter so much, this would have happened. Although there is a strong desire for self-punishment, it will cause greater mistakes if the daughter is affected by self-judgment. ”

"Sulfona called the police to take her father's life?" Xuan Ping felt incredible for a while, "Although according to your analysis, this is very reasonable. But ......"

"Sounds surreal, doesn't it?" Kazeno looked at the moonlight falling from the sky and said, "I thought it was incredible at first. But then I thought about it, since it was Sulfona, it wasn't impossible. In such a short moment, she chose this way to solve the problem, and sure enough, she was at a different level from me. ”

“……”

"In this way, you have reached your biggest misunderstanding." Tokitsuki Kazeno looked at Sona and said, "Do you really understand why Sulfona, or rather Ringo, calls herself Sulfona?" ”

"Because her original name is associated with the murderer...... No. ”

Pyeong immediately denied his idea.

There's no way Sulfur would give up her name because of something like this.

"Or think about it from a different perspective...... Why did Mr. Kurata, who gave birth to Ringo because of a difficult birth, attacked Ringo? ”

"That's because of Ringo and his deceased wife...... Sulfona, looks too similar? ”

Xuan Ping asked hesitantly. He felt that the answer was imminent, but it seemed to be a little short.

"Indeed, it is normal for a daughter to look similar to her mother. - But is it really that similar? Will it really make her father unrecognizable, or lose his mind? ”

“……”

"You saw Mr. Kurata's drawing, he painted her dead wife, but you think it's Ringo. Can this really explain the past in terms of mother and daughter? Computational mothers and daughters, the details of some habitual movements are also different. Demeanor, expression, human beings are not just simple beings who look similar and will be mistaken. ”

"But, Ringo and Sulfona—their expressions and demeanors are almost identical...... Simply ......"

"Simply what?" Kazeno asked.

"It's like a mother's ghost attached to her daughter...... Do supernatural forces really exist? ”

"Hahaha!" Kazeno laughed, "You're so stupid, there's any supernatural power there. ”

"Huh?"

"I warned you not to underestimate Ringo......" Kazeno suddenly stood up and stared into Ringo's eyes and said, "It's not so much that Ringo's soul is attached to Ringo, it's that Ringo is imitating Ringo, isn't it?" Do you really understand why Lingo called himself Sulfona? ”

Sulfona who gave birth to Ringo and then died.

A father who lost his deceased wife and was accustomed to self-harm.

and the completely unpredictable Ringo......

Lapping suddenly remembered what Sulfona had said.

"My mother, who died when she gave birth to me...... Did my existence squeeze out my mother's life in this world? ”

"I came into this world with a feeling that I owe everything in this world. It's like there's a ledger in the dark, and I have to pay it off desperately to get even. It's all settled, that's how I am, I have to be nice to everyone, it's my debt, because I forcibly got my life out of this world. ”

"Isn't it the greatest happiness that I should not have been born in this world, but I can live until now?"

It dawned on him.

"Ringo, she wants to replace Sulfur and live as Sulfona. She felt that her life had been taken from Sulfona, so she had to fulfill Sulfona's unfulfilled obligations. …… That's why she said she was Sulfona. ”

"That's right."

"But ......" Huanping thought of this, and couldn't help but discover a new possibility.

That's a chilling possibility.

"Won't you...... In that case, it is impossible to say ......"

"No, you're right." Tokitsuki Kazeno said in a cold voice, "That's right. Ringo, who has always played the role of Sulfur, will naturally understand what kind of charm his posture will cause to his father. It's better to say that the incident was actually designed by Sulfona. She intends to take the place of Sulfona and fulfill the responsibility of a wife that Sulfur has not fulfilled. Although it didn't work out, it just was. ”

PS: Okay, I don't believe it's written as a mystery novel.
