As soon as I was about to step out of the door, I heard a "ding" sound - it was a message prompt sound from my mobile phone, because it was such a desert island that could receive information, I was a little concerned, so I quickly took out my mobile phone to check. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's a voicemail message.

In the microphone, the voice of a stranger flowed into my ears.

"Hey, Nozomi is it? I've been waiting for you to reply, are you okay? Where is it now? Can you come to me right away? I am a righteous child. ”

In the fragments of memory, I searched for the person "Yisheng", and I did find some results.

Yisheng, I only thought that this person lived at No. 6 Eucalyptus Street, but I still couldn't remember "why did I know this person" and "what did he look like", followed by another "jingle bell", and the second message was opened by me.

"Xiaoxi, please come to me as soon as possible, about you going to the shrine in Yuanshan, I thought about it for a while, I have to tell you about it, can you come to me or call me as soon as possible?" ――

I don't think I'll be able to go to this person called "Yisheng" right now, and the priority is to join Chun right away, before she is in danger.

I hurried out of the room and ran towards where I had just entered...

Luckily, Jun was still sitting at the nurses' station, in the midst of a mess of ruins, and she looked a little off.

"Ishihara-san—"

I whispered, and she sat down in the armchair with her head hanging motionless, and I guessed that something bad must have happened, and hurried three steps and two steps over...

"Ishihara..."

Before the words fell, I had already noticed that there was blood on the armchair, and when I went down, I realized that it had already flowed all over the ground, and the blood was flowing from Ishihara Jun's abdomen, judging by the amount of blood, it is estimated that she will not survive.

As I expected, Chun was out of breath, the arteries had stopped beating, and it was clear that her fatal wound was caused by a cut in the abdomen that had caused massive blood loss in the arteries.

- Someone killed Jun Ishihara.

This simple conclusion was made by me, and it didn't take any detective mind to see that it was a man-made murder, and a sharp knife full of blood was thrown at Jun's feet, and in the dim light, Chun died on an armchair with her head drooping, her legs stretched out apart, and the injured foot still showed broken bones, and the blood ran down her abdomen and stained a large floor red... In this abandoned ward nurse's station, the image is outrageous enough.

At this point, I noticed that the pure hand was very unnatural, the hand was in the pocket of the coat, but the wrist part was twisted beyond the joint scale... I think she must have pressed something in her pocket.

What is something that you have to hide desperately even when you die...

I went to pull Chun's hand and found that what she was holding desperately was a photo.

I was stunned when I saw it, it was the group photo of eight people that I had been tucked away in a blue notebook, with the Municipal Botanical Yard in the background.

That was when we first discovered K and went to visit the botanical garden and took it at the door, I remember that it was still Shui Jing's proposal to take pictures, and in order to satisfy her standing with Kihara, I took the initiative to take the photo, but... I remember that one of my classmates took the camera and said, "Ruriki, you can also go and take pictures," and that's what the person said at the time, so I was able to appear in the photo.

Why cling to photos?

My mind was stuck at a certain point, and the whole thing was now a mess, and some of it seemed to be covered up, and since I went to the shrine in Yuanshan, everything was like a picture pulled together randomly, and there was no connection at all.

What exactly happened at the shrine in Gakiyama?

Memories began to trace the fragments that could be connected, and suddenly, I thought of a link, and the whole thing seemed to start wrong from that place... That's right, when we walked through the main hall of the shrine...

I tried to remember the strange situation at that time, at this time, the whole room suddenly shook, everything was shaking, I felt that something unpredictable would happen here, I subconsciously took back the photo in my hand, and quickly escaped through the door where I had entered.

- They all say that the devil creates all kinds of illusions, especially if you believe it to be true.

Outside the door, it is no longer a desert island, but Eucalyptus Street.

When I looked back, I realized that I had come out of a cold drink shop, there was no desert island, no cruciform buildings, no dead Jun Ishihara, and no endless deep dark water, but the streets of pedestrians and traffic.

I tried to calm myself down in a state of panic.

"Jingle bell" sounds, and the message prompt sound rings again.

"Nozomi? I heard you've made it to Eucalyptus Street, please come to House Six and come to me, are you and coffee? I'll cook it for you. ”

6 Eucalyptus Street - a two-storey stone-walled building on a gentle uphill road, with a retro spire and an iron rooster standing on the roof, odd in style out of place with the surrounding buildings, and a small black sign in front of the door, which reads in white paint.

"The window of the lily of the valley puppet, leading to the cave of the cause of death"

Does the man named "Yisheng" live here? Why write this sentence in front of the door...

With a mystery in mind, I rang the doorbell.

"Xiaoxi, are you here? Come on in. ”

Before I met this person, I never thought that "Yisheng" was my father, or rather, the person I always called my father.

He was wearing a camel-colored sweater with gray pants underneath, still slightly chubby, and he appeared at the door with the same look of joy as ever before seeing me.

"Father?"

I couldn't help but scream, and while it was crazy to see him, the things I remembered inevitably reminded me that he wasn't really my father.

"Xiaoxi, it's better for you to call me Yisheng."

He beckoned me to the living room to take a seat and brought me freshly brewed coffee, while I stared at the man in horror.

"Father... Oh no, Mr. Yoshio, this is..."

- It's a very awkward name, but I still call it that.

Now it's up to him to explain it all.

"Xiaoxi, you must be weird, right? I'll explain it to you slowly, but don't worry, Xiaoxi, you can listen to me tell me a story first-"

He was a little hesitant, but his face remained the same as when he first saw me.

"That's what you didn't know before you were born."

"Before birth?"

"- Yes, before 1961..."

What the?

How could it be before I was born before 1961?

The time gap is too much to accept.

Yisheng looked at me in great surprise, patted my hand on the table, and continued.

"In that village in Yuanshan, there is a family surnamed Tsurumaru, but I don't know why, when it comes to your mother's generation Tsurumaru, there is no way to give birth to a child, that is Tsurumaru did not marry a family surnamed Yuanyuan in the same village, I originally thought that my husband's family could not have children, but later I found out that it was the reason for Tsurumaru's own family.

Someone suggested that someone from the Tsurumaru family should worship it, but it wasn't an ordinary worship of the gods, but..."

"What?"

"It's a grave."
