When I left the neighborhood where Sakiya was located, it was already completely dark, and the cloudy night came very quickly, and the street lights came on one after another. Quark flew back from somewhere and landed on my shoulder. I was about to touch its feathers when I noticed that it had a round thing in its mouth.

I blinked, thinking I was wrong, but there was something strange about the texture and smell of flesh.

I've seen this thing more than once, and every time it appears, something cruel is happening in the corner.

It was an eyeball. The human eyeball.

As in memory, the tail of the eyeball is connected to some nerve tissue, and the dilated pupil glows with a chilling cool light.

"Where did you find that?"

Without answering, Quark swallowed the eyeball in front of him.

"How long has it been since you've eaten carrion? Quark. ”

Quark combs his black feathers with his pointed beak dyed red.

I looked at the sky, and the clouds were dark, and they were connected in the distance, like an iron plate covering the entire world. For a moment, I thought I was living in an iron chamber, and it was hard to breathe. It's the direction that makes you tumult, isn't it? Quark.

I didn't look for it, I just wanted to hurry home, neither the bright neon lights and street lights, nor the bustling crowds could give enough security.

When I got home, I immediately opened the closet, threw out the tight pile of clothes, dug out the crude backpack buried deep underneath, and poured all the contents on the bed.

I picked up the revolver, checked the bullets in the revolver, and aimed the one on the side at the barrel. I clutched my gun, and the unclear sense of urgency in my heart eased a little.

Quark jumped up and down on his desk not far away, landed on the computer keyboard, and woke up the sleeping computer screen.

- You have an unread email.

Confused, I walked over and moved my mouse to open the mailbox. It's an email from an unfamiliar address. Although it was suspected of being spam at one point, its title had a peculiar feel to it.

Title: Toilet Monsters.

From: Tomie.

I hurried back to bed, grabbed the diary, sat down in front of the computer and flipped through it. That's right, the name Tomie is indeed in the diary, is it the same person? Are all the things in this diary true? Although many pieces of evidence were found, such as the email, as well as the diamond-shaped mark on the left wrist, it was still incredible.

From the day I woke up, the two contradictory emotions of confusion and excitement persisted. I thought my life was going to be different, and I was hesitant about it.

Mysterious disappearance.

The peculiar pentagram on Sakiya's body.

Emails from strangers you know best.

What became the past cannot be changed.

When I opened the email, I saw only one sentence:

"Ah Chuan, I'm looking for you."

Nothing strange as imagined happened for the next few days. I haven't heard from Tomie since I replied to her email.

Living a quiet life, I took advantage of my break to study the diary from beginning to end a dozen times. All but the beginning was succinct, but I finally understood what had happened to me and how my body had changed.

It's not just a matter of having an extra magic pattern, the improvement in physical fitness is obvious. It can easily complete a long-distance run of 10,000 meters, and it only takes four seconds to sprint 50 meters, and it can jump vertically up to two meters on the spot. Even if you are passing at high speed, you can see the scenery behind the window. The resilience after injury is also far beyond that of the average person.

There were still eleven gray stones in my backpack, and I ate one, and I did feel a kind of strength precipitating in my body.

But there is still a question, what does all this have to do with the pentagram on Sakiya's body?

I'm still playing a coin game. Two coins, one on the ground, a long distance away, bounce at it with the other coin, and the hit is considered a victory. As long as you are in sight, you have never failed.

I started trying to hit it by placing the coin as a target behind the obstacle and using the bounce to hit it.

I've met Sakuya a few times at school.,Although they're already friends.,And experienced that kind of thing that feels strange and embarrassing when you think about it.,Probably because I'm embarrassed.,She didn't show too close.,But the spirit is much better than before.。

"Good morning, Takakawa-san."

"So you know each other?"

"Of course I know Gao Chuan, a student from the student union, and he has helped me a lot."

"This is my friend, his name is Morino, please give me a lot of advice in the future."

There used to be almost no attention, but now there are such bland conversations.

Morino is a lively girl with short hair, and although she wears a women's uniform, she feels like a tomboy. After that first encounter, I also occasionally saw her around Sakiya, and she has been a friend of Sakiya since the first grade.

The personalities of the two are like water and fire, but it is precisely because they have characteristics that the other party does not have, so they will be together. At least that's what I've read in the books.

After school, the homeroom teacher decided to change seats. The tablemate who told me about the disappearance of the toilet was transferred, and although I regretted it, because of his penchant for strange events and his curiosity, he kept pestering me like a kraft candy for my absence, thinking that there must be something strange in it. He guessed right, but it was also troubling.

The new tablemate is the class president, called Hakkei, a girl with beautiful straightened long hair. He exudes a capable temperament and is a man of action with a good mind, but he is not a member of the student council. She is best known for her mantra: "Let the horses come!" ”

It seemed that nothing could stump her.

After changing seats, the tables at the same table should be brought together, and boys and girls should be grouped together. The new seat was next to the window, and when I moved the table to the table in Hachisei, she was looking at the playground with her cheeks in her hands.

Members of various sports clubs are sweating their youth on the lawn, running laps on the cinder track with a circumference of 400 meters.

"What are you looking at?" I asked, somewhat curiously.

"Shirai."

"What?"

Hakkei turned her head, and I could clearly see her own face reflected in her brown pupils.

"Senior Shirai in the third grade." She said.

"Ah...... That one? ”

She pointed it out to me.

"The No. 10 jersey of the basketball team, the one running laps."

"That...... Do you like him? ”

"Not at all." The answer is unexpectedly crisp.

"Then why do you look at him?" I asked curiously.

"He's weird." Bajing replied in an emotionless tone: "Although he has joined the basketball team for a long time, his sports performance is not good. He disappeared for a while a few days ago, but when he came back, he became the main player of the basketball team. ”

It turns out that the missing senior is called Shirai, and if he has experienced the same strange adventure as me, it is not an exaggeration to have such a performance. It is rumored that he was found by the police and also lost his memory, will he also record the experience of that time in the form of a diary?

Although I can empathize with his changes, I don't plan to get acquainted with him.

"You're being taken care of, aren't you?" I say casually.

"No, athleticism has improved dramatically." Bajing said, turning his gaze back to me: "Are you still smoking?" Takakawa-san. ”

I was stunned when I was asked, Bajing actually knew that I was smoking?

"My nose is very smart." She retracted her gaze and said expressionlessly: "Smoking is harmful to the body, so it's better to quit quickly." ”

"Oh, I know."

In this way, I picked up my bag and walked out of the classroom, heading to the old toilet, which seemed to have no one in it.

It's been a long time coming.

I closed the door to the cubicle and lit a cigarette.
