Chapter 68: Strange
"Heart...... Don't you remember the name? ”
I thought they were talking about playing a joke on me, but judging by their blank expressions, it was clear that I was just thinking too much - they hadn't discussed it beforehand, they weren't joking, and there was no reason to do it.
"I've never heard a name like that."
Rina, who should have lived closest to his heart and should not forget the name, bit his finger and thought for a while, but finally shook his head.
I was speechless, my heart seemed to be weighed down by something, and my mood was as gloomy as the sky - when did he "disappear"? What kind of "pain" did you endure before disappearing? And why did you attack him? Does it have anything to do with me? What was I doing at that time?
A series of self-questions turned into heavy chains that tightly strangled the heart, making people breathless. The side of the fantasy world that had been clear seemed to be affected by this, and it suddenly became gloomy in my eyes, turning to a dark purple sky with razers undulating and intertwining with the scorching fire into a terrifying color. The violent air currents swept up the dust of the earth, and swept the trees and creatures on the ground into the sky - Ted, who was hunting for food, prostrated his body more than ten meters long to the ground, and his four claws sank into the earth, as if he wanted to merge into the ground, but he was also quickly swept up together, making an earth-shaking roar.
I had no intention of indulging this situation and conveyed instructions to the aetheric consciousness, and soon the disturbing changes subsided, and the world on one side of the illusion returned to peace.
"Fold, according to your tone, should we know the heart of the well?"
Rina kept staring at me, and Mika was lost in thought, and she seemed to be the only one of the three who had a certain impression of the name "Underground" - perhaps because the hypnosis did not enter a certain depth, so that the suggestion effect was not the best. Of course, there may be other reasons, after all, the human brain is not a canvas, it is impossible to be completely manipulated in a subtle way, and no matter how powerful the hypnosis technique is, there will be accidents.
"No, but you think about it, wouldn't it be scary if one of us suddenly disappeared and everyone forgot about him? It was so terrible for the person who disappeared and for the person who forgot him. ”
I hide my emotions so that they don't show up on my face.
"Fold, are you kidding?"
Rina chuckled, but nodded again: "But if something like this really happens, it must be terrible." “
"How is it possible, our memory is not so bad, even if one person really forgets, others should not forget. Fold, this kind of joke is not funny at all. ”
Sometimes telling the truth can be mistaken as a joke, and Mika waved her hand and scoffed at what I said.
"Just think I'm joking."
My heart was very bitter, but I could only smile casually, and call this fact a "joke" in an understated tone.
The two girls did not dwell on the subject, and after waiting a little longer, they dropped the phrase "Let's leave for a moment" and walked down the ice wall together—there was no need to say where they were going.
After they left, there were only two people left on the wall, me and Mamura. I was in no mood to speak, because in addition to the fact that the memory of the mind had disappeared from other people's minds, there was another question that bothered me—why was I not hypnotized this time?
In the old days, if a child disappeared, a member of the Board of Education would visit that night. And I didn't dare to play tricks easily when facing them, so I could only be "hypnotized" in their way, and then break through the psychological suggestion and regain my memory through the records I had written before.
But this time, I'm pretty sure no one has ever come to me, and there is no writing about it in the records from a few days ago. Combined with the fact that Meijia and the others have all lost their amnesia, it is clear that this time I am the only exception - no, maybe there is also yarn. She lives in my house, and if someone looks for her, she will definitely not let me go.
But what is the reason for this?
I was immersed in grief and thought, and the village next to me had been staring at me since the beginning and had not said anything, so the atmosphere seemed very silent, in contrast to the crowds of people frolicking under the walls.
"Fold, what's wrong with you?"
Mamura looked at me for a long time, reached over and put his arm around my shoulder, and brought his face so close that it almost came together: "Today's fold is very strange, why suddenly ask the name of a person we are not familiar with?" Is it in a bad mood? ”
"Nothing...... Mamura, what are you going to do! ”
At first, I thought he was trying to comfort me, to be perfunctory, but soon I was keenly aware of the different intentions in his movements, and subconsciously pushed him away with some force from the hand he put on his shoulder.
His delicate and immature face was full of surprise and uneasiness, and his hand in the air was not raised, nor was it raised, and he looked panicked: "I...... I just want to comfort you that my mom said that good friends can be happy by doing this. ”
"Mamura, you ......"
I was about to reprimand, but it quickly became clear that this kind of thing was not taboo in the town, and it was even an act of encouragement and inspiration. So he slowed down, reorganized his language, and put on a gentle face: "Mamura, I'm sorry, it's my reaction that is a little allergic." But I don't like this kind of thing very much, and I can't choose a person so easily to do this kind of thing, it must be someone I like. But thank you for your kindness, although I'm not unhappy. ”
"I see."
Mamura lowered his head in disappointment, and he murmured in an inaudible voice: "Is it yarn?" ”
My keen sense of hearing made me hear his whispers very clearly, but I didn't know what to say for a moment, so I sighed and turned my head away from him—same-sex friendship is common in the town, and the town's values are different from mine, and in a way, it's me who is wrong.
So I could not tell him that this was wrong, nor could I explain other reasons to him as an adult, and I had to acquiesce to his speculation about my relationship with Sa.
……
Before Mika and Rina returned, Sawa Shizune arrived first. The two of them walked along the Tone River, and they were both equally petite, as if they could fall into the river when blown by the wind - of course, this was only because they were so far away from me.
I watched them slowly walk two hundred meters away, and then I broke the silence as if nothing had happened: "Mamura, the yarn is here." ”
"Oh."
Mamura, who was lying on the guardrail, answered without raising his head. I didn't know what to say when I saw him like this, so I could only wave my hand at Jinghesha, who was gradually approaching.
"Mamura, good morning. Sorry to keep you waiting. ”
Saya and Jing went up to the ice wall together, and by this time Saha had apparently returned to her normal appearance, and her little face was a little pale from the cold with a reassuring smile, and her crescent-like eyes inadvertently turned around me, lowering her head slightly, but smiling naturally at me, as if to tell me that "it doesn't matter anymore".
It was a seemingly normal, but in fact extraordinarily false smile, and I could still sense the haze hidden in her heart, but with my current situation and mood, I really don't know whether to pursue the problems and troubles of Sasa—or, more importantly, Sasa's own thoughts.
"Sister Shiraishi, yarn, good morning."
Mamura responded, his sullen look couldn't hide from anyone, and Yarn noticed his strangeness for the first time. She looked at the listless Mamura in confusion, then tilted her head and looked at me for answers.
And Jing Da, who was standing next to Sa, stared at me meaningfully for a while, and I knew that what happened just now might not be able to hide it from her, so I could only sigh and divert my attention with the topic: "Meijia, they have been gone for almost ten minutes, and they should be coming back soon." ”
"Mika, where have they gone?"
"If nothing else, I should have gone in that direction."
I glanced in the direction of the west bathroom, and Sata nodded understandingly, and was about to speak, but Jing was the first to speak: "What are you going to do in a minute?" ”
"Meijia, they said they were going to pick up the souvenirs first."
"Then I'll be with you today."
Jing's words surprised me a little, usually she should be tired of being with Suizi, but today I didn't see Suizi's figure. When I was about to put my doubts into words, Shizuki replied bluntly, "Suiko is with her family today. Aren't you like me playing with you? ”
"No, it's more than welcome."
My heart was so tired, but I could only say things against my heart.
