Chapter 16: The Beginning...

"Don't go in!"

It was only after hearing my familiar voice that I gradually calmed down in panic, and after taking a deep breath, I made an OK gesture and was about to turn my head, but Momoi withdrew his hand. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I crept back to his room with him, and everyone seemed to be in no mood to wander around the house, so they all stayed in their rooms to rest, and there was no sound in the hallway.

After entering Momoi's room and closing the door, I relaxed my whole body, but I was stunned for less than a second, and after looking around, I realized that the layout in Momoi's room was exactly the same as my room, Momoi saw that I was a little surprised with puffed out my eyes, so he said.

"All of us have the same room, and I have confirmed it with Chiba Nori."

"All the rooms are the same?"

"No, not the one just now, I guess only the room where we live is furnished."

"In that room just now..."

"Come and see this."

Momoi didn't answer the question about "that room", but turned around and opened one of the drawers of his desk and took something out of the mezzanine of the bottom panel.

It's a sixteen-folio piece of paper.

1. Early spring

2. Vinnai

3. Kimi

4. Akiya

5. Saraka

6. Cherry trees

7. Liaotai

……

8. Ruriki

That's what it says on this piece of paper, with these names written on it.

"That's what I found in that room just now, when we first arrived here, when we were looking for our respective rooms, I saw the same scene as you just saw, the light in that room flickered, but when I went in, there was no one, but I found this paper at the head of the bed."

Momoi looked at me in amazement and blinked, as if to say, "Your name is on it, can you explain what it means." ”

After a brief moment of silence, he spoke.

"I didn't really want to ask anyone, and I didn't let anyone know about it, but I always thought I could ask you, so I called you."

"This..."

My mind was flipping through the past at lightning speed, and the tragedies that had been remembered for the past began to emerge one by one, and the meanings of these names...

"Ruriki, do you know what these names mean?"

"What day of the week is today?"

I suddenly grabbed Momoi and asked him, and he became nervous when he saw that my expression had changed.

"It's... Wednesday, how-? ”

"Let's go find the beginning of spring, let's go."

I understood that even if I did it all over again and the scene changed, the event would still happen, and I hurried out of Momoi's room, who followed closely behind me.

"Hey! Rurishi, you can make it clear, what's wrong with Wednesday..."

I knew I couldn't explain it to him, not only Momoi, I couldn't explain it to anyone, who would believe that this was not my first acquaintance with them, in other words, who would believe that the wheel of time was reversed once.

I quickly rushed to the third floor, my heart was pounding, the door of the room at the beginning of spring was unlocked, and after rushing in, the last thing I wanted to see happened-

There is no figure at the beginning of spring.

"Shui Jing."

I turned around and went out, "crackling" and banging on the door of the room across from me.

"Nozomi..."

As soon as she opened the door, I squeezed in enough for one person.

"What about the beginning of spring? Is the beginning of spring absent? ”

I asked, looking around.

"I haven't been here at the beginning of spring, I just went to look for her and she wasn't in the room, we came back together after lunch, probably where did she go out again."

"Did she receive anything strange?"

"Uh..."

Before Shui Jing could answer, Momoi stepped up and grabbed my shoulders and asked very seriously.

"Rurishi, what's going on? Please speak clearly. ”

"I can't tell..."

"What do you mean?"

"No way is no way, there is no other meaning, the main thing now is to find the beginning of spring as soon as possible, otherwise everything will be late."

I looked a little impatient, and Momoi looked at me in amazement, he didn't understand that I was in a hurry to do this.

"Then you should always explain what that piece of paper means, and your reaction is clearly to know what that piece of paper represents?"

The atmosphere was at an impasse, and the two of us looked at each other, not that I didn't want to tell Momoi, but how he would accept the facts I said, which was very difficult to do.

"You two are..."

Shui Jing asked on the side.

"By the way, Xiaoxi, after Chunchu and I just returned to the room, we stayed in our respective rooms, and halfway through, I heard the door of Chunchu's room close twice, and then I went to look for her and she was no longer inside."

Two door closings? Is it someone who is in and out? When I came out, I took the beginning of spring with me.

"When?"

I asked.

"More than ten minutes ago."

So the beginning of spring must not have gone too far, or she hasn't encountered any accidents, and it shouldn't be Ma Shan in just over ten minutes...

"Momoi, Shui Jing, let's go to find Chunchu separately, please be sure to find her, but it's best not to alarm the other classmates first, I'm afraid... Causing everyone's uneasiness. ”

In fact, my concern is not that everyone will be in a commotion, but that "someone" who is mixed in with us.

"Ruriki, it's okay if you don't say the reason, but... Is there any danger to the students at the beginning of spring? All I need you to do is answer this question. Momoi's eyes were uneasy.

"Hmmm! Yes, if you can't find the beginning of spring, something may happen that you don't want to see. ”

"Xiaoxi, are you going to make things too serious, aren't we here for a spring outing? How... I find it scary for you to say that. ”

Shui Jing shrunk her shoulders and said timidly.

I take a deep breath, and there is only one thing I can say at the moment.

"Go find the beginning of spring."

I shook Shui Jing's hand and let go again, just as I was about to step out the door...

"Rurishi, we'll meet in the room at the beginning of spring in half an hour, whether we find it or not."

Momoi said in a firm tone.

"Hmm."

I nodded, and when I came out of the room, the three of us began to split up towards the rest of the house.

As I walked, I thought that the order of the names on that piece of paper was the order of the classmates who had the accident at that time, which was not wrong at all, but, after Liaotai... Why my name? I remember that I was not a "dead person" at that time, but a "lily of the valley puppet", and I also thought it was strange, there was an ellipsis between my name and their name, what did that mean?

――Is there some unpredictable change?

If I do it all over again, the bad luck will inevitably fall, so it's just like before, why bother with us gathering here and using so many weird tricks to lure people in...

As I was thinking, I had gone down the first floor, turned the stairs, and I was going to start with the rooms on the west side of the house, in the center of the circular hall, and I began to notice a problem—standing in the house, it was ridiculously large, and it was completely different from the size of the outside, as if it looked like a house from the outside, and it looked like a city from the inside.

Immediately after that, an even more incredible fact lay before my eyes.

-- The gate here is gone. There used to be a gate, but now it's just a gray stone wall...
