The rain had no intention of stopping, and there were still many people in the classroom during the lunch break, no, all of them, and everyone was silent, because the police came to question them during the fourth period, which made the already gloomy atmosphere even more unsettling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

From the police, I learned that the specific death of Haruchu was around seven o'clock yesterday evening, Haruchu went to the station in Tamanomachi alone, and no one noticed, Haruchu was already at the entrance of the tunnel in and out of the subway, and then kept walking inside...... If it weren't for the debris of the body splashing on the platform outside, it might have been found that the early spring would have been much later.

But why did the early spring go to the train tunnel alone? Passers-by who had a slight impression of her said that at the beginning of spring, she seemed to be in a state of depression, as if she had been hit hard.

"I really can't figure out why that kid is going inside, high school students, this kind of dangerous common sense should be there."

"Could it be suicide?"

"It's good to jump directly by suicide, why do you have to go inside first, it is said that she is consciously going inside, and she can't understand what attracts her inside......"

"So...... It's not good to say, she may have deliberately walked in to commit suicide, or she may have been run under the wheels by a speeding train when she didn't know what to do......"

After questioning, I heard a couple of officers talking like this as they walked outside the school building.

I was suffocated by the heavy depression in the classroom, and I decided to go outside to breathe, the glass door of the hall on the first floor blocked the pouring rain, and I didn't bring an umbrella, but this bad weather, even if I had to go out with an umbrella, it was useless.

It's a really boring weather, and I want to go out for a run... Violent running... Shouting loudly... Then drench yourself.

"Do you want to be together? Go to the library. ”

Facing Momoi, who was suddenly standing behind me, I was a little surprised, "That...... This is what it looks like outside......" I said vaguely, and he stepped forward and raised the umbrella in his hand, I really wanted to go out and get some air, so I nodded at him.

The library is not so much a library as a two-story glass room, with rows of large shelves full of books, and Momoi Junior High School also studied here.

The umbrella was really useless, even damaged in the wind and rain, and when Momoi and I arrived at the library, most of our clothes were wet, and there was a service desk where the caretaker was by the door, and disposable shoe covers were placed in the basket next to it, in order to keep the room clean and reduce dust.

Momoi and I both put shoe covers on the outside of our shoes, and our umbrellas were placed in the prescribed places.

"Haven't you been here since you got to school?" Momoi asked me.

"For the first time today."

"There aren't many books here, but they're still complete, and you can even find books about prophecy and UFOs, and although the school advocates science-based, it doesn't prevent reading these kinds of books, as well as the supernatural."

"Can you believe it?" I asked him.

"About what?"

"These strange things, like the letter from the lily of the valley puppet."

He didn't answer me directly, but I heard him sneer, he could laugh, I really wanted to see what it looked like, this man had only one expression all along, except for the first time I saw him last night, I had never had a chance to see him laugh, and he was walking in front of me with his back to me.

"Rurishi, I'll take you to see something."

As he spoke, he walked up to the second floor, the staircase was narrow, and it was a spiral staircase, and I followed him cautiously up the stairs.

There were hardly any people on the second floor, and I could smell the peculiar smell of books that had been left on hold for a long time, and if it weren't for the rainy day, the light would have been quite good, but now dark clouds were hovering over the dome, and the high bookshelves were tinged with gray tones.

"What is this picture?" Looking at Momoi, who was standing between the bookshelves with a photo in his hand, I asked suspiciously.

"A group photo of Class D in the first year of high school in '97." He replied to me, his face still like a flat painting without expression.

As soon as I heard this, I was shocked, and the frightened nerve in my body suddenly tensed, and I remember Shui Jing saying that the person who should have existed seemed to have disappeared in the group photo.

Everyone in the photo is dressed in navy blue school uniforms, and if there is no chilling explanation beforehand, this is just an ordinary group photo.

"Is it a group photo of the student who disappeared from the photo?" I asked.

"Ruriki, do you really believe that a person can disappear from a photo taken for no reason?"

... How do you explain that? Unless I pointed out who the student was, I was convinced, and even though I didn't know everyone in the photo, I felt uncomfortable when I saw it, as if someone was saying in my ear, "Don't stare at it, it's going to drive you crazy."

"The student who had the accident was named Hegu, and he was really not on this picture." Momoi looked up and said, a smile suddenly oozing from the corner of his mouth, "Because the student was already dead when the picture was taken." ”

I was suddenly creepy at his behavior and explanation, and I had a premonition that he would coldly continue—"I killed him." ”

I couldn't help but gasp, shook my head that floated out of messy fantasies, and when I looked at Momoi again, he didn't have a cold expression, he still had a hard poker face, in fact, Momoi's facial features were pretty good, and the eyes, nose, and mouth were very standard when you looked at them separately, although they weren't as beautiful as Kihara's kind of beautiful men, but they were also a little handsome, and he was also tall, and he was considered a good-looking category among boys.

"What's wrong with you?" Momoi realized that I was staring at him weirdly, and he narrowed his eyes and asked me.

I panicked and hurriedly said, "How do you know?" Photo thing. ”

"I investigated, and the time to take the picture was after the accident in Hegu."

"You care a lot about the rumors."

"I just don't believe it."

"Don't believe me?"

"I don't believe in the rumors about the letter from the lily of the valley puppet."

"Then you still ask everyone to reply every day......"

"It's to find out the person who pretended to borrow the hand of the lily of the valley puppet."

At this time, I don't know from which corner suddenly a somewhat hoarse voice suddenly appeared...

"Momoi, Mr. Ikezawa asked you to go to his office."

I was frightened, and it was him, short in stature, with white paper skin, sickly reddish pupils.

"--Miyayama."

Momoi replied and nodded.

Obviously there was no one just now, when did this guy come out of nowhere, I looked at him in surprise for a moment or two, I didn't dare to stare at him, his white skin could see the blue-purple blood vessels below, thinly distributed on his forehead and behind his ears, and his thin body barely supported the school uniform like a hanger, I found that this time he didn't look at me with a fierce gaze that wanted to kill me, probably because Momoi was on the side, I guessed.

We went out of the library together, the rain stopped, there was no intention of the sun, most of the clothes that were soaked before became cold and biting under the cold wind, I looked up at the lead-gray sky, I didn't know when the next storm would come.
