- Nozomi, quickly throw the reply into that mailbox...

It's like a voice shouting at me in the water...

――Where is the mailbox?

-- E-mail... Only you know the location of the mailbox...

The sound of staccato speech echoed in my head, and in my ears... It's like a big barrier, and the sound sounds very distant... There were many balls of light floating in front of me, and there were countless video clips in them, and I saw Momoi... Norishi Chiba... Brother-in-law...

Suddenly, I woke up!

Consciousness returned to reality, I fell into the forest somewhere on Changle Island, my legs and hands were scratched, after I became conscious, the nerves quickly transmitted the pain message to the brain, not only the limbs, but even the head was very painful, after calming down, I also realized that Ishihara Jun also fell out with me just now, but at this time she didn't seem to be by my side... There was no sound around me, "I must find Chun as soon as possible" I read in my mind as I fumbled with my backpack - thank goodness it was right next to me, I immediately flipped through my phone, pressed the on/off button, and then, the screen light came on -

Then...

"Ahh

I let out a high-pitched scream. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As the lights came on, I thought I saw the most unbearable picture in the world.

Those snake-like things were wrapping around Jun Ishihara, her body from the waist down was no longer in the pile, their disgusting faces like people were spitting black long letters, Jun's dying eyes were looking at me, with painful gasps, her mouth was open and she couldn't scream...

I didn't have any preparation in my head, I just rushed over like crazy and grabbed Jun's hands with all my strength to try to pull her out, and the power transmitted by my hands made me feel that Jun's was constantly sinking in the opposite direction... I cried urgently, I couldn't cope with the situation at this time, but I still clung to my pure hands, the joints of my fingers were about to break, and I felt that the little hope I had left was shattering, oh my God, what should I do, can't... They can't be allowed to take Pure away, these monsters with human faces but not human beings, demons...

"Go away!"

I closed my eyes and exclaimed, even at the last minute, I didn't want to expose my true feelings of "scared to powerless"... That's when something strange happened.

I felt my hand loosen, and some kind of power against me suddenly disappeared, and when I opened my eyes, I was lying on the ground still holding my hand...

"Are you alright..."

I crouched down and put my hand on her shoulder.

"Ishihara-san..."

Jun seemed to faint, and I was really worried that I wouldn't wake her up, and after I called several times, she reacted slightly.

"Are you alright?"

"It's okay... Nozomi... What about those things? ”

She opened her eyes and whispered to me.

"I don't know... Suddenly gone. ”

"I see, it's you... The one who made those things disappear... No wonder they said they had to bring you..."

Jun's lips were still trembling when he spoke, and he probably hadn't fully recovered from the situation just now.

"They? ――”

“... It's the other classmates. ”

"What the hell is going on? How did classmates end up on this island? What has happened in the last two years..."

I asked, and as I spoke, I lifted Chun to a tree and sat down next to her.

"Nozomi... It's not been two years, it's just a few months. ”

"Now it's..."

"October 22, 2007."

Yes... Could it be?

I can't believe it, it's not just memories, I feel like time and space are being distorted, and in just a few months, the fracture surface is so big, why do I think two years have passed?

――How did Yukazu Shimizu come to be on February 20, 2009? Why do I have these things out of thin air in my memory...

In the dark, I don't know where Ishihara Jun was looking, and her voice continued to ring in my ears.

"In mid-June, you, Momoi, and Chiba disappeared for no reason, but there are witnesses who saw that you had stopped at the Guyuan Cat Book House at the school gate, and I haven't seen you since... Xiaoxi, a few days after your disappearance, everyone received strange things-"

"What?"

"The roster, the roster of the whole class, and everyone does not have their own name in the roster, and at the back of the roster, there is also the same sentence - the person whose name disappears is the 'lily of the valley puppet', please find it and kill it, in order to survive the doom, pay attention, only one roster is true."

"Huh? So the matter of Shimizu Katsu..."

"That's right, that's what I made up, it's just a story about pushing the boat down the river, you've always treated me like a nurse, and I don't understand, but my purpose is to bring you here."

With a hard shift, I felt her shoulder resting on mine.

"But Xiaoxi, do you know what the strangest place is? The person who sent the register to us - it's you. ”

"-Me?"

"That's right, signed by Ruriki."

"But... Why are you on this island? ”

"It was arranged by Mr. Ikezawa, and he said that it was a trip arranged by the principal for the first year of high school D, so everyone came... But I didn't expect it... After I came, I realized that this arrangement was not what Mr. Ikezawa intended at all..."

"That's...?"

"Lily of the valley puppet."

"Where's Mr. Ikezawa?"

"I didn't come, we only found out when we arrived on the island that the teacher wasn't there at all, and besides, there was another person who didn't come..."

"Shui Jing?"

“... Hey? You know? ”

"I ran into her at the hospital gate before we came, and she ran away in a panic and didn't say anything."

“... Hmm..."

"Ishihara, let's talk in a different place, I don't know what else will happen here... Where is the house you are talking about? Let's go, can you still go? ”

She said "um", and considering her injury, I tried to hold her as gently as possible, and the moment she got up, my hand was suddenly grabbed by her.

"Xiaoxi, do you remember the strange letter of 'three days left'?"

"How?"

"Actually, I found that letter in your notebook... I feel... Someone has been to your ward in those days, but can't tell who it is. ”

――I suddenly remembered that I had received a strange letter of the same type as "five days to go" before, and my intuition told me that although the signature was "Lily of the Valley Golem", it must be "someone" who reminded me in such a strange way, and I gradually became suspicious... Is it a reminder for me to go to Changle Island with Jun? Or does this "shortened period" mean something else...

I put my backpack on my back, and while supporting Jun, I stumbled towards the south side of the island by the faint light of my phone. At this time, I suddenly thought of something...

"Wait, Ishihara, didn't you just say that 'those things' came out of that house? What's going on? ”

"It's a maze in the house, and we won't be found as long as we are hidden in the maze, everyone is inside."

"I don't understand, that house... I mean, that kind of dangerous place, why do you want everybody to concentrate in it? ”

"Mailbox,In order to find the mailbox that replied to the letter,For a few months,We've all been looking for that mailbox,But we haven't found it.,We gradually learned from some information in the maze.,Only Xiaoxi you know where that mailbox is.,After that,We began to inquire about your whereabouts.,Later, I learned about you in the Tri-Leaf Hospital.,You know everything after that.。

I began to feel heavier and heavier as I held her hand, and I understood that she was also trying her best to support her body, and there was no time to rest, we were almost staggering and struggling, and I looked around at the darkness like a nightmare, and asked myself in my heart-

"The real reply seems to have just begun."
