Chapter 20: After Awakening
After another MRI, the blockage and compression of the blood vessels were gone, and Dr. Sennan told me that I would be discharged in two days. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Well, the current situation seems to be very good, Xiaoxi can return to his classmates and be with everyone soon."
Dr. Sennan said in a relaxed tone of diagnosis.
"Xiaoxi, to what extent has your memory been restored?"
"Hmm... I only know who my classmate and father are, and I remember that a classmate named Wenna had an accident... I still can't remember what happened after that..."I sat in the consultation room and answered Dr. Sennan's question.
"It doesn't matter, I'll remember it slowly when I go back to school."
"-Oh."
"A classmate came to see you, it seems that he has arrived, waiting for you in your ward."
Dr. Sennan motioned for me to go back to the room.
I nodded, glanced up at the door, and although I couldn't see my room door, I felt that something bad was waiting for me when I walked out of this door.
After I fainted at school again that night, my father told me that my classmates had put me in the ambulance, and they had escorted me to the hospital before informing my father, and since then they have been waiting for me to wake up, as if to confirm something, and my father said that the class leader named Momoi was very good, and he was well-organized and thoughtful.
When I first woke up, Dr. Mornan advised me not to visit me because I was not even conscious at the time, so Momoi waited until today to visit me again.
When I met them, I also had a fresh bouquet of lilies next to my bed, wrapped in light purple paper, which was particularly beautiful.
"Xiaoxi, it's good that you're okay."
Shui Jing took my hand and looked a little excited, there were Momoi and Chiba Noria next to her, and only the three of them came.
"Dr. Sennan said I could go back to school in two days, don't worry, it's okay."
I laughed, and I was always happy to see them, but—
I don't seem to think they're too happy.
Momoi's face has been tense and has never smiled, but he never laughs, at least I haven't seen it, Chiba Noria has a somewhat hesitant look, and at a glance he guessed that "he has something to say in a hurry", only Shui Jing smiled at me, and after greeting me, she looked at Momoi, and that smile disappeared immediately.
I never asked anyone what had happened at school that night - before I fainted, and I always felt that there was something in the blank space that I resisted and did not want to touch, and I felt that the blank space was shrouded in a dangerous color.
The three of them looked at each other with distinct expressions, as if to say, "Do you want to tell her?" "Will it make a difference to tell her now?" I looked at Shui Jing's hand holding the corner of her skirt, and then moved my gaze to the three of them again.
"What's wrong?"
"Ruriki..."
Momoi, who had been silent, finally spoke.
"Ruriki, there's something I want to tell you now..."He paused, adjusted his breathing, and continued: "Kimi had an accident that day, that is, the night we played hide and seek, she was knocked down by the storeroom... Hit her in the head, we found her no longer breathing, I should say she couldn't feel her breathing, she was smashed into an unrecognizable appearance, and yet - next to her, lying you. ”
I was shocked!
Stop kidding--why are you making jokes like this again-Momoi, why do you always like to joke about the death of your classmates?
I felt a great deal of denials when I heard the news.
- Kimi, I remember that Kimi, and Wenna are a very good pair, they were still laughing in front of me on the day of Wenna's accident, I remember that Wenna died, how Jimei also...
-- That day.
- When playing hide and seek.
――What happened?
My head began to tighten, my consciousness trying to pass through the barrier of memory, like popping a balloon with my fingers, and I was expecting a "bang" to remember... Unfortunately I couldn't.
"Xiaoxi, do you remember who gave you the coin?"
I tilted my head sideways and felt confused.
The question of Shui Jing is like crossing a time and space for me, not to mention the details, even the basic outline of the matter is completely blank.
――What is the "coin"?
In desperation, she had to recount the situation of that day to me from beginning to end.
In order to find Kimi who "disappeared inexplicably", at the suggestion of Norishi Chiba, we launched a game of hide and seek, this "special" game can find people who are lost "in that situation", such as being taken away by ghosts, she explained the rules of the game to me again, so I understood - the player who is looking for someone is set to R.
... The problem is when Kanegawa is in charge of R.
At that time, Kanegawa found Shui Jing in the storage room with a coin in his hand, but when he saw Shui Jing next to me he almost fainted in shock, the reason was that he went to the podium to confirm the number of people after taking the role of R, and the result of counting made him understand that he was already the last R at that time - he saw that there were already six people on the podium, of course, including the missing Kimi, there were eight of us in total, so then he only needed to find the last remaining person and the game was over.
――Unexpectedly, after Kanegawa found Shui Jing, he was about to say "It's game over" to her, but at that time, he saw me next to Shui Jing, and since it was not the last rule, he could only swallow back the words that were about to be uttered and his fear.
... There are still my words next to Shui Jing, what happened to the six people on the podium?
For this question, Jin Chuan felt creepy and could not explain it.
Jin Chuan remembered that he saw two girls' school uniforms, and the remaining four were boys' school uniforms, apparently he thought that the two girls' school uniforms were Ji Mei, Shui Jing and two of me, because there was only moonlight, he could probably only recognize to this extent, and he couldn't see everyone's faces clearly.
When Shui Jing held the coin to confirm the number of people, Jin Chuan explained everything to her... At that time, under the confirmation of Jin Chuan and Shui Jing at the same time, there seemed to be only five people on the podium, and the only girl was Ji Mei, that's right, Ji Mei had already appeared, Shui Jing hurriedly ran back to find me, only to find that I was no longer in the storage room.
"--Xiaoxi, after you disappeared, all of us looked for you everywhere, and everyone dispersed, and finally everyone returned to the storage room and found you and Kimi inside, but Kimi had..."
... Where did I go after Shui Jing left? Why did I go back to the pantry after that? What happened in the meantime...
There is an insurmountable wall in memory, and that side of the wall is the truth.
-- The important question -- I fainted with a coin in my hand, but it wasn't handed to me by Shui Jing.
That coin was exactly the same as the one of Norishi Chiba.
"Why is there one more?"
I tilted my head to think, my head was already aching, and the more painful it was, the worse it was for thinking, and I had to give up the pursuit of the mystery for the time being.
"I'm sorry, I can't think of anything."
I said guiltily, looking down at my toes, the feeling of helplessness in my heart was like an endless empty field, whether it was memory, body, or soul, it was all empty and empty, I couldn't remember all the important things, but my classmates died one after another...
I panicked, I hated my "flaws", and I couldn't make any helpful response to Momoi, Mizuzu, and Chiba Nori's expectant looks.
――The part I forgot was probably how Kimi died, and maybe I also witnessed the real murderer in that part...
"Xiaoxi, do you remember Wen Nai's sister Wen Hui?"
Shui Jing asked me, and she stepped closer and sat down next to me.
"--Well, some impressions."
"She's got some problems, and if you can get out of the hospital, we're going to see her this afternoon."
"What's wrong with her?"
- Sister Wen Hui, Wen Nai's sister, the only person who has seen the "Letter from the Lily of the Valley Puppet".
"I don't know what to say, I don't have the right words to say-"
"Huh?"
"Wen Nai's mother said that Wen Hui she... It doesn't seem to be Wen Hui anymore..."
I suddenly felt a chill like winter, and I couldn't help but shiver.
