Chapter 19: The Purple Mirror
"Little Kana, you're only six years old this year, I'll pick you up when you grow up......"
Kana opened her eyes suddenly, the palpitations on her face still disappeared, and now, even during the day, in a trance, will the scenes in the dream be repeated in her mind?
Kana's face was haggard, and she hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time, tormented by nightmares.
After school, the members of the Clear Cross Strange Detective Group gather on the rooftop.
"Kana, it's your birthday, happy birthday!"
I have to say that Kiyotsugu, the president, is very qualified, and in a group of people, he is the only one who remembers Kana's birthday and has a gift in his hand.
Stuffing the gift box into Kana's hand, Kiyoji urged, "Open it and take a look!" ”
The women stood behind Kana, their eyes full of curiosity and expectation, watching Kana open the gift box little by little, and then ...... An ugly humanoid puppet in the gift box is revealed.
It looks like strips of rags of various colors are put together, and the eyes of the puppets are still eeriely red.
The corners of the women's mouths twitched, but Qingji laughed, "How is it, beautiful, right?" This is a yokai doll made in the image of Kana-san. ”
Kana: "......"
As he spoke, Kiyoji took out a similar doll from his pocket, "Look, this is a monster doll made by myself, and every member of our Clear Cross Strange Detective Group will have it!" ”
"Don't!"
The girls gave Kiyotsugu a roll of the eyes, but since it was a gift from Kiyotsugu to Kana, Kana still stuffed the doll into her handbag.
Bai Luo remained silent on the side, looking at the snow girl downstairs who helped Lu Sheng clean the classroom together, her eyes flashed slightly, and in the memory of the original owner, the matter of Kana's birthday was extremely clear.
Without him, just because, on this day, Lu Sheng became a monster, rescued Kana, who was chased and killed by a mirror demon, and, with the identity and appearance of a monster, took Kana to the cat house.
This night, for Kana, will never be forgotten.
Bai Luo's finger flicked, and he used some means, and it was fine......
Kiyoji took out the computer and was about to popularize the knowledge of monsters to everyone, but Kana yawned, "I'm sorry, I haven't had a good rest in the past few days, I'll go back first......"
Looking at Kana's face, Kiyotsugu nodded.
When Kana left the rooftop, Kiyoji turned on the computer, "The monster that I want to popularize for everyone today is Purple Mirror...... It is said that whoever sees Zijing will be killed by Zijing on his thirteenth birthday! ”
"Why the thirteenth birthday?"
"Because, in the world of youkai, thirteen years old is an adult......"
……
The glow of the setting sun is no longer hot, and the golden glow stains the asphalt road pale yellow, and Kana passes through an intersection where the convex mirror reflects Kana's figure.
In the mirror, a pair of eyes slowly emerged, looking at Kana's distant back.
A few minutes later, Kana looked up with some confusion, this intersection seemed to have been......
Jingle bell~
Jingle bell~
The bell on the bicycle rang sharply behind itself, continuously, and in Kanai's ears, a voice sounded slowly, "Little Kana, you are thirteen years old, I'm here to pick you up......"
Kana's eyes widened, and the scene when she picked up the purple mirror when she was six years old came to mind, "No, don't! ”
Kana screamed and quickly fled.
However, over and over again, no matter which direction Kana ran towards, she would return to this intersection again, and behind her, the sound of jingling bells followed closely.
Finally, Kana was tired and panting, and looked behind her, a round purple mirror, extending out of cloud-like hands and feet, and above the mirror, there were a pair of eyes and a mouth.
At this moment, the mouth opened and closed, and he kept repeating a sentence, "Little Kana, don't run~"
An eerie laugh filled Kana's eardrums, and at this moment, Kana didn't know where the strength came from, turned around and continued to flee.
"Hahaha, in the world in the mirror, you can't escape the ......"
As he passed through an intersection, a mirror suddenly shone brightly, and the next moment, Kana's view changed and he crashed into the wall.
Kana looked up and looked around, "This is ...... School? ”
At this moment, she was at the top of a staircase in the school building.
However, she was still on the road just now.
"Little Kana ......"
Kana didn't have time to think too much, so she could only continue to run forward, and the voice of the purple mirror seemed to come from all directions, and even the figure seemed to be everywhere.
Kana was forced into a men's toilet and had no escape.
At this moment, the puppet in Kana's handbag, his eyes suddenly emitted a strange red light, and he also remembered the strange ringtone in his body.
The doll fell to the ground, and among them, Kiyoji's voice came, "Haha, Kana-san, I didn't expect it, I put my phone in the doll......"
Hearing Kiyoji's voice, Kana seemed to grasp a life-saving straw and shouted, "Help me, a youkai is chasing me......"
"Kana-san, don't worry, where are you now?"
"I ...... I don't know, I'm in the men's restroom on a certain floor. ”
On the rooftop, Lu Sheng's face was anxious, "Let's look for it separately!" ”
"Good!"
Everyone responded, and Bai Luo also followed everyone down the rooftop, but he didn't look for it, but left the teaching building directly and walked towards the old house of the Nuliang group.
Bai Luo galloped all the way and soon caught up with the Snow Girl who was rushing home.
"Bingli ......"
"Ah, Silent Rain, what's the matter?"
"Tonight, are you free?"
The Snow Maiden blushed too easily, staring at the ground a little helplessly, "I...... I'm going back to prepare dinner for everyone. ”
"That'...... Can I come out after dinner? ”
"But, at night...... Not okay? ”
The smile on Bai Luo's face was simple and bright, "I want to know more about the world of youkai, so I want you to take me to the monster shop tonight and have a look......"
"That's right, that's fine!"
Hearing Bai Luo's purpose, the Snow Girl breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but for some reason, she was also a little lost, she looked up and smiled at Bai Luo, the Snow Girl waved her hand and trotted away.
Bai Luo looked at the petite back of the Snow Girl, looked up at the sky, the sunset, at this time, finally completely fell, the night ...... Befall!
Lu Sheng, can already transform......
And the youkai Rikusheng who rescued Kana will take Kana to the cat house, and stay there for the whole night, until it is almost dawn, and then he will send Kana away.
And this night, Snow Girl should pass by the cat house with Bailuo!
Even if you don't go through, Bailuo can be intentionally guided.
Bai Luo took a long breath, shook off the little guilt in his heart, and slowly stepped forward, going home first to say hello to his grandmother, and having dinner by the way.
Tonight, you'll be truly in the world of youkai......
