Atsuko Taketori looked blankly at the bloodstained knife in Shiraishi's hand, and then looked down at herself.

She had no wounds on her body.

When she hanged herself just now, she also kept facing the window, and the man in black definitely didn't break in from the windowsill.

So he came up from downstairs, and downstairs ......

“…… Mother!! ”

Atsuko Taketori's brain made up for the whole process, and his face turned white. She got up and tried to run downstairs, suspecting that her mother had been slashed by the unknown intruder.

Shiraishi subconsciously grabbed the person, and at this moment, the bedroom door was pushed open.

Atsuko Taketori was moving a lot when she fell, and later she shouted, and Mie Taketori heard the movement.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw a man standing in the middle of her daughter's room with a knife, one hand pulling her emaciated child, and Atsuko Taketori's clothes were already splattered with blood.

"Calm down! Don't hurt people, I, I'll give you money! Mie Taketori was so anxious that she was about to faint.

The scene was a little embarrassing for a while, but soon, the light bulb BIU of the white stone naphtha lit up, reminding me of the classic pictures from countless ancient movies.

He forcefully dragged Atsuko Taketori in front of him, slashed the knife in front of the person's neck, and said gloomily:

"I'm your daughter's suitor, but she's a pervert who likes women and plays with my feelings...... So far, only by sharking her can I dispel the hatred in my heart. ”

Mie Taketori was very flustered: "This, this is all innate, not Atsuko's fault!" And she definitely didn't mean to play with you, Atsuko is very serious about feelings, there must be some misunderstanding......"

As soon as she said the first half of her sentence, Shiraishi felt Atsuko Taketori's hand loosen on his arm.

Then the girl looked up in a daze and looked at the woman at the door who defended her. Not long ago, Mie Taketori's evaluation of this relationship was also "ridiculous" and "perverted", but now......

Shiraishi was very pleased with the effect.

Although he doesn't have any acting skills, and his lines are also made up, Mie Taketori is now in a state of reducing his intelligence, and he is very easy to fool.

- After all, few mothers can calmly distinguish between the real and the fake when they see their child spilled with blood and being held hostage by gangsters.

In the midst of her chattering advice, the "gangsters" finally thought of their demands, and Shiraishi offered to meet Tomokako Ikeda before releasing them.

Combined with what he had just said, the mother and daughter immediately suspected that he was trying to cut off Tomoko Ikeda.

Atsuko Taketori, who had calmed down, cried and struggled again.

Mie Taketori was silent for a long time, but gritted her teeth and returned to the phone on the first floor.

When she held the earpiece, she was so ashamed of this selfish act that she almost trembled, and she only felt that her face and conscience had been lost in this life.

But I saw my daughter who was dragged downstairs by the man in black...... She dialed the number anyway.

……

Tomoko Ikeda was preached by Atsuko Taketori's mother on the front foot, and watched Atsuko reject her offer to move into the Ikeda family and follow her mother without looking back.

As soon as the mother and daughter left, Ryoichi Takahashi came to scold her for plagiarism.

At the same time, her brother also slowly analyzed that the reason why Atsuko Taketori was close to her was that he wanted to use her to publish books.

"It's not much better now, a book like this kind of hunting, as long as it can be published, the sales will not be too bad, and the current 'writer', as long as there is a book that is successful, the follow-up food and clothing will not be a problem."

In normal times, Tomokako Ikeda would only overdo it.

But when she thought about what had happened today, she couldn't be sure.

When Taketori's mother called, Tomokako Ikeda saw the caller ID and snapped the phone on.

But soon, the phone rang again.

After hanging back and forth two or three times, Tomokako Ikeda finally couldn't hold back and picked up the phone, wanting to hear how Atsuko Taketori planned to explain.

……

Shiraishi also didn't know if Tomokako Ikeda would come.

Calling her over was just a delaying tactic, but in fact he planned to go to the villa and find Atsuko Taketori's diary, so that Tomokako Ikeda could completely dispel his suspicions about Atsuko Taketori's thoughts.

But unexpectedly, Tomokako Ikeda ran over after listening to Mie Taketori tell the truth.

She originally wanted to go alone as Shiraishi requested, but her brother insisted on calling a lot of bodyguards and police.

Shiraishi took the opportunity to "flee from the wilderness" and went to the villa to find the diary as planned.

……

It didn't take long for the misunderstanding between the two to be resolved, and Mie Taketori didn't stop it for various reasons.

Tomokako Ikeda graduated first, opened a publishing house and lived the paddling life she loved, while Atsuko Taketori continued to write what she loved, but the style of writing was completely different from what she used to be, and it became much more brisk.

During this time, Tomokako Ikeda accompanied Atsuko Taketori to see a psychiatrist.

The sudden suicide before also scared herself, and Atsuko Taketori didn't resist it too much, and her mentality slowly improved with her family company.

On the night of Atsuko Taketori's graduation, they held a small drinking party at home, and the two of them each prepared rings.

When the ring was put on the other party's finger, the black cat lying on the cushion next to it suddenly sat up and looked around.

The scene in front of me is like a painting soaked in water, and it is beginning to fade.

After a moment of dizziness, Shiraishi stood in the void again.

On the big screen that gradually dissipated, a round spar condensed from Atsuko Taketori's body, floated towards him, and crashed into his own small light screen.

This scene is no stranger to Shiraishi.

But one thing was different from the previous one - there was another piece of crystal, floating from the direction where Taketori's mother was.

The woman, who was already a little old, sighed, but slowly showed a relieved smile, and the eyes that had been wrinkled by age were extremely kind...... It's like a small wooden horse in the arms of the Q version assistant when he first came in.

Bai Shi was stunned for a moment, and without waiting to think more, a few lines of words on the light screen were slowly written:

[Coming back to reality]

[Countdown: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
