The strong summer sun illuminates the new green leaves with a dazzling luster.

The two young boys and girls did not look for any place to talk or go to anyone's house, but simply stood in the shadow of a certain part of the residential street, hiding from the heat of the sun.

"You may not know, but I used to be obese, so I always tried to stay at home and didn't want to come out......"

The gloomy boy named Yosuke Kawada opened with this sentence that is hard to believe, and I don't know what kind of purpose it is.

And his expression seemed to become more gloomy, as if he remembered some not-so-good memories.

"This ...... Is Kawada-senpai kidding? ”

Dongcheng Meisako glanced at the boy in front of her with a strange face, although the other party did not say that it was skinny, but it was indeed a very thin person, and it had nothing to do with obesity.

"No, I used to be very obese, the same height, my weight was 80 kilograms, but then my health deteriorated a little......"

Yosuke Kawada said calmly.

“…… Something worse? ”

The girl was slightly stunned, eighty kilograms is one hundred and sixty pounds, the other party's height is not high, and that weight is indeed very fat...... So how do you get worse to be able to lose weight like this?

And it's only "a little worse", it shouldn't be the kind of terminal illness that can't be cured, and he can still go out freely alone, which seems to prove it.

In this way, this kind of "somewhat deteriorating" problem, the whole country, no, the world knows how many girls wish they could encounter such a problem!

"Yes, the reason is actually very simple, my home is there, do you see that house?"

Kawada pointed back, "That window is my room, my desk is in front of the window, and when I look up, I can see Saeki's house." ”

“……”

“……”

Misako Tojo followed his finger and looked at the Saeki house on the other side, then nodded slowly.

She vaguely understood something, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is it because of ...... Kawada-senpai, did you see anything? ”

"Yes, when I look up unintentionally, I will see a woman dressed in white and with long hair behind the window of the room on the second floor of Saeki's house. Just standing there makes my whole body shudder......"

Kawada nodded vigorously and continued to speak calmly, without any intention of selling off.

And he behaved in a strange manner, as if he was not talking about some very frightening supernatural phenomenon, but simply a small neighborhood trouble.

"I thought it was wrong at first, but this kind of thing happens several times a day, and sometimes if you look closely, she disappears, and other times she stays there......"

Speaking of this, he remembered something again and added: "I have also tried to take photos and videos, but nothing has worked." ”

Saeki's house? Behind the window of the room on the second floor?

Misako Tojo heard a chill, and subconsciously glanced back, she suddenly remembered the "illusion" she had just now.

If the boy in front of me wasn't telling a lie, I'm afraid there was really something upstairs just now looking at her standing at the doorway, ready to go straight in, right?

What would have happened if she had actually gone in there?

This association of horror ...... Even if it didn't happen, it made her feel scared now, and even her breathing suddenly became slightly short.

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the nearby public library, the reading room at the left end of the corridor on the second floor, where you can also find miniature copies of expired newspapers."

Then, Kawada told quite detailed information almost without thinking.

"Five years ago, in May, not long after Golden Week, the news was the tragedy of the Saeki family...... Three years ago, the August newspaper was the tragedy of the Murakami family, and the news of June last year was the Kitada family...... Oh, I also missed the Suzuki father and son ......"

"Tokunaga's family was just two weeks ago, but now the bodies of the two couples have not been found, so the Nerima Police Station is temporarily classified as missing, so this matter is not in the news for the time being."

“……”

“……”

The girl suddenly felt a little speechless, and she felt a strong chill because she found that the boy in front of her seemed a little more terrifying.

How could an average person pay attention to such things and even remember them so reliably? Was the newspaper he was reading an unknown version with a requirement to "read aloud and recite the full text"?

"I never moved out because as long as I didn't enter that room, it would be fine. And I'm writing horror, and I think it's only time to stay here, every time I see that woman......"

The gloomy boy seemed to see that her expression was not quite right, and spread his hands and still said in that calm tone.

"That feeling inspires me even more...... And it had a really big impact on me, and I used to collect things about it, so I remember it very clearly......"

This reason seems plausible.

Misako Tojo asked herself if she could often see a ghost in the opposite room from her room window if she could often see a ghost in the opposite room from her room window.

And as long as you find out what happened to that house, unless you move away, as long as you stay in the same place, how can you forget such a terrible thing?

"These are the clues I know, and I'll tell you them all now. My only advice is that I may be mentally ill or I may be paranoid, and what I see is false. ”

The gloomy boy let out a long sigh, although he looked very cold, but he was probably also desperate to find someone to believe in to confide in this secret.

"But what happened in that second-hand house is absolutely real, and the people who have entered it are still alive except for the real estate agent or the criminal police who came to investigate the scene, I have not seen anyone else......

"And even those criminal policemen, not all of them can survive, as long as they are in charge of the house, those who enter and leave it many times will die."

The implication is clear, just like the case of the disappearance of the Tokunaga family a week ago.

The Nerima Police Station said that it was missing, but he decided that the family must have died long ago.

In the same way, if Misako Tojo had to go in, he wasn't optimistic about what would happen to this girl in the end.

“……”

“……”

Misako Tojo pursed her lips tightly, she knew the substantial ominousness she felt when she stood outside the room before.

It's like facing a mother who has turned into a monster that day, the feeling is disgusting, and it stimulates the instinct of self-defense, making people not want to take a step closer, let alone go in.

But is that all? She was really unwilling, she didn't want her mother to die like this, and she didn't even have any explanation.

Obviously she didn't seize the opportunity, she thought she had killed her mother, and now she desperately wants to do something to atone for it.

But she couldn't find any other clues at the moment, so she could only retreat to the second best thing about coming into contact with the terrifying world that might exist first.

And the most likely one is the second-hand house that has become a murderous house...... But once she does get in...... You're going to die, right? Surely it will die, right?

What should I do? She didn't want to give up, but there was only one way now, and once she set foot on that path, she would undoubtedly die......

What to do?

At this time, several police cars came at the end of the residential street in the distance, and they did not honk their horns, but their goals were clear.

Misako Tojo and Yosuke Kawada both subconsciously looked over.

After the police cars stopped, the police officers, led by a middle-aged sheriff, opened the warning tape they had set up by themselves, and entered the second-hand house one after another.

Soon, there were strange noises coming from inside the room, which sounded like they were rummaging through the cabinets.

Although I knew that this should be a new breakthrough for the police, I came to find a way to search the house and look for evidence or corpses or something.

However, the girl was still subconsciously worried about them, and couldn't help but think about it.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and soon the police officers came out again, carrying two bodies covered with white cloths.

Misako Tojo watched from a distance, and couldn't help but turn slightly pale with a little face.

The gloomy boy next to him whispered to himself-

"When the social welfare volunteers came to check on it, they found the body of an old woman, but Mr. and Mrs. Deyong were missing...... Now it seems that the couple has also found it. ”

The most important thing for a family is to be neat and tidy.

For such a happy thing, the girl couldn't be sincerely happy for them, her face was only even paler.

No matter how much I said before, no matter how clearly I felt it, it was not as good as now, and the psychological impact of directly seeing the tragic situation of the victim was the most shocking.

If you want to go your own way, will you become one of the corpses hidden in that house tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow?

"By the way, I don't know if I can convince you, after all, you look like you have something to do......"

Kawada looked at the police officers, but at this time, he suddenly remembered someone, so he turned his head to the girl and said.

"But you can go to someone, her name is Hibiko Toyama, and she has been in charge of the murder of the Saeki family since five years ago, but she has since resigned...... After the deaths of the other police officers in charge one by one. ”

In a sense, it was definitely an experienced police officer, even if it was a woman.

After all, she has been in charge of the murder of Saeki's family since five years ago, and although she resigned without finding out anything, she was able to survive the five years without any accident compared to the accidental deaths of other policemen......

Who would believe that she didn't perceive the problem and didn't have anything extraordinary?

"Kawada-senpai, please tell me the detailed address of Miss Hibiko Toyama, I'm going to take a look."

Misako Tojo seemed to regain her firmness, and her eyes looked at the gloomy boy.

"I don't know about this, I just know that she is still alive and has resigned." Kawada stretched out his hands and signaled that he was not omniscient.

The girl was a little disappointed, but immediately regained her strength. After all, with such a clear clue, it shouldn't be too difficult to find someone.

It's just that she was disappointed in the end.

Because after Hibiko Toyama resigned from the police station, she went to work as a computer operator at a certain company, which was in Shinjuku.

And when Misako Tojo looked for it, she found that she was a step too late and missed it directly.

Because just the day before, Hibiko Toyama got off work, he was directly asked away by the police officers of the Nerima Police Station, perhaps hoping to get her help in that case.

— and then she went, and she never came back.

This woman, who managed to escape from Ga Coconut's hands and survived for five years, was still destined to die in that house after all.
