Chapter 23: Space
Even when she walked out of the house, the entire Snow Ridge was quiet, time seemed to stand still, and Ritsuko couldn't hear any sound.
Lu Li walked slowly behind her, and after a few steps, he jumped lightly and sat down on the high wall again.
"Am I in your space again?" Looking up, the sound of the bell when shaking her feet filled Ritsuko's ears.
"Miss Ritsuko is really smart, and you found out before I even said anything."
"It's always strange that the sounds that used to ring in my ears are all gone."
"If I hadn't mentioned my space to Ritsuko-san that day, would Ritsuko-sama's ingenuity have guessed that it was in my space?"
"No, it won't." Ritsuko lowered her eyes and shook her head gently, "I just think it's a little weird, but I don't think about it. ”
"As long as Ritsuko-sama knows now, Ritsuko-sama, what the hell are you going to ask me?" Lu Li tilted his head, that look was full of juvenile feeling, if it was just at this moment, it really wouldn't make people think about him to that terrifying cloud ghost.
"Lu Li, why did you appear here on the day my mother had an accident?"
"That day? Naturally, I missed you, so I came to play with you. ”
"But you know that there are cloud ghosts on the mountain who want to kill my mother, why do you stop me from going up?"
"I'm because ......" Lu Li seemed to blurt out something, but when the words came to his mouth, he turned and turned, "I didn't know that there were other cloud ghosts on the mountain. ”
"Are you lying?"
His body was full of the voice of lies.
"I really don't know ......"
Wei Li's voice was soft, and he didn't dare to lower his eyes to look at Ritsuko, what he was not good at was lying.
“…… Did you kill Gongzi Wen? ”
"It's not me! I'm not like those low-level cloud ghosts! I never kill! ”
Ritsuko snapped into her gaze, and his sudden increase in volume did scare her a little.
And Lu Li also seemed to realize his gaffe, and added softly in a soft voice, "I'm sorry." ”
"I know ......"
For some reason, when listening to Lu Li's own words, Ritsuko actually had a sense of relief.
She should know that all this has nothing to do with Lu Li, but the time when he found him is too coincidental, so that she unconsciously wonders if all this will really have something to do with him.
If he hadn't met him at that time, would he have been able to save his mother and Wen Gongzi from the hands of the cloud ghost?
Although it is not clear why he lied, Ritsuko still wants to believe him.
Lu Li really didn't feel like the cloud ghost in the mouth of the ghost hunter.
He...... It shouldn't hurt her, right?
"......" Ritsuko was about to speak, but the sound of glass shattering sounded in her ears like last time.
It's the space that is crumbling.
The statue that was still sitting on the high wall also shattered along with the space.
Countless voices burst into Ritsuko's ears through the cracks, and the same buzzing sound shook her head.
The space debris floated down gently like a white feather, and the moment it touched Ritsuko, it turned into tiny points of light and disappeared.
The scenery in front of me is still the same high wall, no different from Fang Cai, but completely different.
"Miss! What are you standing here for? The old body has been looking for you for a long time, and finally found you. The old woman's voice came from Ritsuko's side, anxious and worried.
"Grandma?"
"Dinner is ready, but I haven't seen you come back for a long time, I'm afraid that something will happen to you, so the old body will come out to look for you."
"Dinner? Have I been out for that long? ”
Isn't it shortly after lunch when you go out......
Ritsuko watched the old woman stagger down the stone steps, carefully stepping on the steps.
Only then did she react, walked up quickly, supported the old woman's body, and then walked up again with her.
"Miss, have you seen an acquaintance?"
"Well, sort of, it's already so late after a little chat, and I'm worried about you."
It wasn't until now that Ritsuko noticed that the horizon on the top of the mountain was no longer so bright.
"Won't Miss invite him to sit at home?"
"He must have gone back already."
The moon seems to have been visible to the naked eye.
A familiar voice rang in Ritsuko's ears again, "Ritsuko-san, we'll see you next time." ”
I only hear his voice, but I don't see his person.
