Please be silent when you are lonely.

That loneliness is not loneliness

Because

The one who stood before you while you were alive.

Their souls will now

Surround you again

- their minds

will cover you

- Rest in peace

Edgar. Ellen. Poe "The Dead"

It was raining heavily in the town, and the rain came quickly, and as soon as Mike got home, the rain began to rain as if he had made an appointment. This autumn evening, the sky soon darkened, and the house was pitch black. Mike liked the feeling, and opened the curtains slightly to let in the only faint light into the room, and he sat at the study table in front of the window, dragging his chin and looking out the window at the rainy street.

"Charlotte..."

Mike began to fantasize about something unrealistic, but before that he could do so, he should lose all the fat he had to make.

"Mike, there's a power outage at home, remember to light the candles!" Mike's fantasy was interrupted by a cry from his mother, who answered impatiently, moved around without any energy, and reached for the drawer—the candle was gone.

Mike found an old music box, a gift from his sister on his tenth birthday, and the last time.

It was one summer, the family went to the beach to play, and my sister was drowned in the sea. At that time, Mike also laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "I should be a good example of losing weight, so that this will not happen." ”

My sister was also fat at that time.

His sister left the family forever, and although the music box had become a little old with the years, Mike had preserved it quite well, and when he opened it, the sound of the piano sounded melodiously from the music box.

"Dedicated to Alice".

"Sister, your brother and I have someone I like." Mike muttered to himself, to be honest, it is not surprising that a male and female existence like Yanyurou falls in love with her at first sight, but most people just have a thought, but the fat man prefers to put it into action.

When I was about to call Zhou, who is half a Chinese, to learn the scriptures, I suddenly heard "Bang! There was a loud bang, and the door closed without warning.

The power went out in the house, and with no candles, Mike's room was completely dark by this time. The sound of the music becomes creepy in this atmosphere, and Mike wants to turn off the music box, but he can't.

"Mom! Mom! The fat man banged on the door, and his mother, who was cooking, was his only hope.

However, this hope eventually turned into despair, and no matter how desperately he cried for help, he could not get a response.

"Shet! Damn music! The sound of the music irritated him, and he grabbed the music box, held it high above his head, and was about to slam it to the ground—

"Brother."

An ethereal, childish voice reached Mike's ears like a demon's whisper.

The voice Mike was all too familiar, but he didn't feel any nostalgia, just a chill down his spine.

"Oh my! Jenny..."

Mike looked back and saw a familiar, lifeless face.

"Brother, why did you drop the gift I gave you?"

Jenny was wearing the same bathing suit she wore when she died, and she was standing by Mike's bed soaking wet, water dripping from the girl's feet.

"Jenny, it's not like this......"

"Didn't you say you'd cherish it?" Jenny's head was crooked ninety degrees. "My brother is a big liar."

"No, it's not like that! Sister, you ......."

"The big liar is going to be drowned!" Jenny walked away with a clumsy stride towards Mike, who sat in the corner with his legs limp, begging his sister to spare him.

But the only answer to him was the repeated curse.

"Drowned, drowned......"

"Don't, don't come here!"

Mike made a final struggle, reaching for his baseball bat standing against the wall and slashing awkwardly.

"It's useless," Jenny chuckled, pausing a centimeter from range of the baseball bat. I remember that Jenny used to look like this when she laughed. But now Jenny's smiling face with a foamed cyst must not have warmed him, and all that brought him was death.

"Die, brother."

Jenny's mouth was split upwards along the sides of the corners, and her mouth was covered with sharp serrations that were not human. Her mouth is wide open, big enough for someone's head!

Obviously, Mike has to be ready to be eaten alive.

Jenny let out a low, strange scream, and her bulky body suddenly became extremely flexible, and she kicked her front foot and pounced directly on the fat man.

Mike closed his eyes in despair-

"Mike! Don't howl in your room at night! ”

The door opened, and Mike's mother walked in with a candle in her hand, and when she looked around the dark room, she found her son squatting in the corner of the wall, shivering.

"Mike, if you're afraid of the dark, you should light a candle!" The mother put the candle on his desk, glared at him, and left without asking what was going on.

"It's definitely not a hallucination...... Definitely not. "With the mother's intrusion, everything disappeared as if it had never happened.

Only the music box, tirelessly looping "To Alice".

At least, the fat man doesn't know at the moment that nightmares are not just on his head.

"Hey!"

As soon as she left the school gate, Yan Yurou saw the girl waving at her at the school gate. I remember it's called... Anna, right? Yan Yurou sighed softly, "If you're here to thank me, you don't have to. ”

Anna understood what she meant, and if it weren't for someone's words to tease the mysterious Oriental girl, she wouldn't have intervened at all.

"Thank you as it should be, I wouldn't have been able to escape if it weren't for you. By the way, you're so cool, did you just use Chinese kung fu? ”

"Sort of."

"What's your name? My name is Anna. Isabel. ”

Yan Yurou knows that if someone asks for the other person's name abroad and introduces himself, it means that the person wants to be friends with you. But she doesn't belong here.

"Just call me Charlotte, and if it's okay, I'll go first."

Obviously, Anna didn't plan to let go of Yan Yurou so easily, and hurriedly followed: "Charlotte, where do you live?" ”

"Weehaner Street."

"What a coincidence, I live on Baker Street, can I come with you? It's boring to go home alone. ”

"It's your freedom." Fortunately, the object of pestering Yan Yurou is a girl, and if it is a man... It's time for Yan Yurou to use force.

The school is about ten minutes away from Weihaer Street, and along the way, Anna chatted with Yanyurou about something if she was fine, just like Mo Xiaoxue.

"Hey, why are you studying here?"

“……”

"Is China interesting? Speaking of which, Zhou is also half Chinese, he is quite handsome, do you think? ”

“……”

Hawkers, anyway, no matter what Anna says, Yanyurou just chooses to be silent.

At this moment, the sky began to rain heavily without warning.
