Chapter 03: The Shadow of Speculation

On the third day, I still silently followed Yukieda home, although I couldn't completely "follow" her to her door, and in that case I guessed that she would definitely call the police, and when I got off the bus at my house, I could only secretly wish Yukieda to live until the fourth day.

As a result, on the morning of the fourth day, I learned that Yukieda had died, and it was the evening after she returned home that I had not been able to see on the third day, and she went out and died on the bridge in Oga-cho.

Chapter 03

I was at home at the computer, like a thoughtful confessor.

I thought all the high school girls in the city were just like me and would just stay at home after school, and I thought their fathers would poke my calves with red-hot hooks, or pull out my toenails with the dentist's forceps, and keep me in mind with the pain and dispel all the deformed thoughts of wanting to go out at night.

So, I ridiculously thought that Yukieda wouldn't go out when she got home, and it turned out that Yukieda sacrificed me as if I was a self-righteous fool.

I regretted that I didn't remind her not to cross the bridge, and even if she hated me, I sincerely didn't want to see the police searching for evidence on the stone bridge in Oga-cho in the middle of the cafeteria at school lunch.

The title at the bottom of the screen reads: Kokacho Ishibashi found a college girl naked - corpse, the cause of death is to be investigated, there was sex before death, the reporter is a certain gentleman at the same level in the same school, suspected to be the girl's lover, and is now temporarily detained by the police as a suspect.

Even if I had made a mosaic, I could recognize the photo of Koeda, which was frozen in the small frame in the upper left corner of the screen as a photo of the deceased......

The whole school was shocked at that noon, like the riot of the Imperial Revolution, all the students on the playground to preach how to protect the personal safety of high school girls, everyone thinks that Yukieda was killed by a delinquent teenager who was lured into dating and had not been able to preserve his chastity and reputation after his death. The phrase "having sex before death" alone was enough after the media exposed it, and Yukieda's parents lived to the end of their lives in the shadow of embarrassment.

When I finished my lunch and silently washed my lunch box, I was glad that my father had threatened me not to go out at night, and I really would rather be burned into a few black holes in my calves than let my father lose face in the art world who would never take off his holiness in front of the world.

His extreme cruelty sometimes justifies his rightness.

When I got home, I began to search the Internet for information about the "death of a high school girl in Oga-cho", and in the end, the most useful unofficial information came from the reply to me from Kihara, the "killer park".

Me: My classmate died, and I wanted to ...... It has something to do with the letter from the lily of the valley puppet.

I looked at the few times I had only posted before, like a few lines of soldiers standing alone in the chat window, and I still persevered in the one-man show, but I was sure that he would not abandon me after all.

This time, a reply popped up in less than half a minute in the chat window - are you in Shaojian Middle School?

Me: Yes, I just changed schools and am in my first year of high school.

Kihara: How many classes are there in the first year of high school?

Me: ABEZ four, obviously you know that legend.

Kihara: Where are you?

Me: Class E.

Then I forwarded the email to him.

Kihara: Koeda is dead? That girl in the news is your classmate?

Me: Yes, she greeted me yesterday morning, but I didn't expect that Shaojian Middle School, which had been quiet for ten years, ended the peaceful period without death yesterday morning.

Kihara: The death drama is about to begin.

Me: Is the letter a prank?

Kihara: No, it's real.

Me: How can you be sure?

Kihara: Ten years ago, I saw it.

I was silent, no strong written evidence of a catastrophe was worth a pair of eyes, and there was no more convincing and terrible statement than "seeing it with your own eyes".

But until the cause of Yukieda's death is found out, I still believe that it was murder or an accident, after all, Yukieda was not alone on that bridge. I still don't agree that a mere letter can kill people, and in a provocative way of "foreshadowing". The lily of the valley puppet is so arrogant!

At this time, Kihara bounced another message: There is garbled in that letter, have you noticed?

I admit that I've never looked at those crooked symbols: no, it doesn't matter, does it?

Kihara: It's very important, maybe the whole sentence doesn't mean what you see.

I froze, the window of conversation spreading into the asphalt-colored deep sea in front of my eyes, and the shaking water choked into my mouth and nose, and quickly submerged me to the bottom...... If I had seen this sentence three days ago, and I would have said something different to Koeda three days ago, there are many possibilities now.

I thought about it and went back in time: Koeda, the bridge, the dead people and places were all mentioned, and according to the facts, what else could that sentence mean?

After a pause of a few minutes, at the other end of the dialog, Kihara wondered if Kihara was deconstructing the letter in a way I didn't think of at all, and then replied to me in great detail, but he replied to the original letter with a question: Koeda, Bridge, @#¥%...... Reply, reply to the letter, what comes to mind?

Me: That's all, no reply!

I tapped the keyboard vigorously, because only by filling in the gaps with words like this would the whole sentence fit the fact that Yukieda was dead.

Kihara: That's the story that Yukieda died, but she didn't die three days ago, and you already received the letter at that time - for example, the garbled characters represent "Yukieda, Hashi, if you want her to die, you can reply"? That string of garbled characters can be anything.

It was a thunderbolt from the sky, as if I was extremely shocked to see the 23rd chapter of the Bible Revelation, and the combination of a few random words completely subverted my perception of this letter, and even I had become a killer who decided the lives of others by an unknown force, and when I was still staring at the dialog box with empty eyes, Kihara sent another bomb question-

Did you reply?

My heart was cold to the freezing point, and after hesitating for a long time, I confessed like a criminal and replied with two words: back!

Kihara: It's just speculation, you don't have to take it seriously.

Perhaps it took him a long time from the moment I replied with just two words to realize that the fulcrum of the balance space in my heart had been overturned, and this reassurance spread quickly.

Me: But you don't rule out the possibility, you also said that the garbled characters can represent anything.

I thought about the three days when I played "Yukieda's close-fitting master" to the extreme, but I didn't know that I had killed her myself three days ago. And all this is because I'm Ruriki? That's why my classmates kept me off as a grim reaper in human skin, because they knew that if they came close to me, their lives would be in danger......

Kihara: Speaking of which, any possibility, any more is an afterthought, and you need to know how Yukieda died now.

Me: Yes. Ten years ago, did you really see a lily of the valley puppet?

Kihara: Hmm.

Me: What does it look like?

Kihara: The lily of the valley golem can appear in any kind of appearance, and he was among us at that time.

I was shocked: then?

Kihara: Ten years ago, I was a student in Class D of Shaojian Middle School.
