In the blue of the night, with the endless black sea in the distance, there were no adjacent islands as far as the eye could see, and it was probably in the center of this island, and we came to the front of the concrete house, a cross-shaped building, and at the north end was an iron gate, and in front of it extended a stone-paved passageway, and I was standing at the mouth of the passage.

This is...

The incoherent "facts" were pierced into my mind one after another, a wonderful sense of impact and memory revival, a light exploded in the depths of the dark consciousness, I even felt my pupils dilate forcefully, my hand was still holding Ishihara Jun, her body endured severe pain also obediently leaned on me, and then, I noticed that my hands...

Suddenly, a passage deep inside me was opened, and I was pulled into the nightmare of ten years ago.

That's—

In my memory, it was a child, but it was another childhood, and I was reborn in another family.

It was also the beginning of the summer season, and there was no hot wind after lunch, which made people depressed, and I was going to go to the hospital with a food box to deliver lunch to a woman, and this scene had been going on for about a month, and that woman, I should say my mother, had a strange disease that could not be cured, and no doctor could diagnose the cause, only I knew why she could not get better.

I walked to the entrance with the food box, my cousin Yagi Ken was sitting on the floor, he barely noticed me when I walked over, he was just a freshman in high school, the age of the flower season, but recently he often looked like he was in a trance, I didn't ask him what the reason was, but I can guess it, because of that-

Ken Yagi rarely spoke to me, and he even asked his uncle, who is also his father, "How was that child born...", as if he thought I shouldn't have been born, because of that sentence, I glared at him viciously, and he dodged it, and from this he began to hate me, but more like he was afraid of me.

He sat on the floor and almost blocked the exit, I ignored him, and put on my shoes, but I didn't expect Ken to take the initiative to talk to me, and my movement of putting on shoes slowed down, and my fingers stopped on the laces that were being fastened.

"Wait a minute... I have something to tell you, there is a transfer student in the class, we followed him home the other day and found out that he was doing strange things, and... He was holding a piece of red glass... I think I've seen that thing in your room..."

When Ken speaks, his eyes wander and he looks very nervous, and he always uses small movements of his hands to relieve his nervousness.

"Red glass? What does red glass look like? ”

"What else can red glass look like... It's all about red glass, so take it out and give it to me. ”

Ken suddenly became agitated, yelled at me, and slapped the food box in my hand, and the contents were scattered all over the floor.

"You said you saw it in my room, you can't just go and get it yourself, why do you want to ask me about this kind of thing, I'm just a five-year-old child."

I said coldly, not at all the look of a five-year-old, looking at Jian stunned and frightened, I was a little secretly happy in my heart, it was obvious that from his bloodshot eyes, he was frightened by something.

"I've looked for it, but it's gone, is it hidden by you? Xiaoxi, I won't say anything that annoys you anymore, please show me that piece of glass, even if you say that kind of excessive words in the future, I won't complain..."

Ken's appearance was changing, he became pleading and pitiful, and he suddenly knelt in front of me, crying and begging me.

"I don't know what you're talking about, it shouldn't be mine."

"You lie, you lie when you're only five years old, how can you do such a thing that disgusts adults?"

"Brother Ken Yagi, isn't he scared now?"

Ken choked on my words, and he looked at me dumbfounded, sweating nervously on his neck.

"Nozomi... Nozomi... I'll tell you about that transfer student, that transfer student named Hegu is very strange, and Morio and I are following him, but... But it seems that something controls us ... It's a terrible feeling..."

Before he finished speaking, Ken hurriedly took out something from his school bag.

It's a letter.

"This morning for no reason, it appeared in my school bag..."

He looked at me in a panic and said.

I opened it and looked... Here's what it reads:

Be sure to reply to the lily of the valley puppet according to the contents of the red glass, or you will die!

"What to do? Nozomi... Could you see something different in that pane of glass? Tell me, I don't want to die yet..."

Jian asked me with a sad face, and snot and tears flowed out.

"I'm just a child, and I have to ask the adults to solve this kind of trouble..."

Before I could finish speaking, he grabbed the talk.

"You're not... You're not a child, and I can't tell, but I don't think it's like "only five years old" at all. ”

He shuddered suddenly, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and looked at me again—

"I see... No wonder He Gu said..."

I ignored Ken's crazy rampage and went to the kitchen to refill the food box with food and go to the hospital.

After that day, I heard Ken and his classmates on the phone.

"Did you take it too? Are you sure? ”

"Did you receive it, Morio..."

“... Not... Did anyone else in the class receive... Is it a prank? Let's try that..."

On this day, I went to the hospital to bring food to my mother, and at the turn at the end of the hallway, I collided head-on with someone walking on the opposite side.

Although it was not a violent impact, I was only the body of a five-year-old child, so naturally I couldn't withstand the impact of an adult, so I took a few steps back and fell to the ground.

"-Oops! It's Xiaoxi, you, are you okay? I'm so sorry I didn't see it..."

The nurse who helped me up was the nurse at this mental hospital, who also happened to be my mother's nurse in charge, named Yuki Shimizu.

"Xiaoxi is really sensible, it's always you who come to deliver food to Mom, what about Dad? I haven't seen him too much..."

"No Daddy."

I whispered, compared to ordinary children, after being hit, I didn't cry in pain, but calmly answered her words, and a trace of surprise flashed in Qing Mizu's eyes.

"Children are not allowed to say stupid things, how can they not have a father?"

"The children of evil spirits don't have fathers."

"Ahh

Yuki looked at me in a daze, suddenly speechless, I lowered my head to clean up the things on the ground, and Yuki also bent down to put the scattered snacks into the paper bag for me.

"Xiaoxi, don't worry, your mother is doing well."

Luckily, it's like finding a topic to dilute the panic.

"I know."

I glanced at Shimizu Yuki, who had an unnatural look in her eyes, and she was smiling bitterly that wasn't good.

I walked into my mother's hospital room with the paper bag on my chest, and she was standing with the curtain backlit and I couldn't see her face clearly.

"Yesterday Ah Jian came... He seems to be in some kind of trouble..."

"Hegu and Ken entered high school together."

I said lightly, and closed the door and walked closer, my mother's face gradually emerging from the darkness of the backlight...
