He vanished...... I should say that I fell into that forever...... Died in my place and my sister......

August 13, 1988, 19:30 p.m., Shinjuku Tokyo Hospital.

As she walked down the corridor on the fourth floor of the hospital with her friend, the somewhat haggard Hotaru Amakura looked around from time to time, trying to engrave everything around her in her mind.

This is not a deliberate move, but a natural reaction of the young man who is an urban fantasy novelist to every new place, even if he has been there countless times.

When he came to this floor, the smell of medicine that permeated the hospital suddenly faded a lot, which also made Hotaru feel a little more comfortable, but it was a symptom rather than a cure.

Compared with the first three floors, most of the patients in the wards on the fourth floor are the type of patients who need to recuperate, so it is rare to see patients walking around in the corridors, and the doctors and nurses will deliberately slow down after arriving on this floor, trying to create a quiet environment that does not disturb the rest of the patients.

"Their situation is still very bad." Approaching the end of the hallway, his friend pushed open the door on the left hand side and made a "come in" gesture to Hotaru Amakura.

Hotaru nodded, followed him into the room, and closed the door.

It was a very tidy double room, but the smell of medicine made Hotaru frown.

After a slight glance at the layout of the room, Hotaru set her eyes on the two young girls who were lying motionless on the hospital bed, in a state of sleep.

That's his two nieces, Mio Amakura and Cocoon Amakura.

Hotaru stared at her two nieces who had fallen into a deep sleep for a long time, and without looking back, she asked her friend behind her, "How long have they slept this time?" ”

The doctor thought for a moment and replied, "My sister has only slept for about three hours, and my sister has been ten hours. ”

"Can't you wake them up while they're sleeping?"

The doctor shook his head, "We've tried all sorts of things the first few times they've fallen asleep, and it's useless, we can only wait for them to wake up naturally, but to be honest, their ever-increasing sleep time can easily ......."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I know. He muttered under his breath, then slammed the wall in his helpless rage.

Even so, they didn't wake up......

"Damn...... He couldn't help gritting his teeth and whispering something, "Why, it happened to them!" ”

This is a recent occurrence in Japan, and it has been prolonging its slumber until it may even disappear like ashes......

This coincides with a certain sign of a novel that Hotaru is writing about the urban freak "Sleeping House".

Since most of the accounts of the "Sleeping House" circulated in the hospital, the outside world knew very little about it, and even Hotaru Amakura, who was an urban fantasy novelist, only knew a little about this rumor, and Akira Amakura, who had entrusted a few of her friends who were doctors to help patients who had seen this situation, will never forget the scene when the female patient named 'Akiko Asaguchi' turned into charcoal dust in front of him......

However, now the same illness has happened to his two nieces and two few relatives.

He couldn't accept that this kind of thing had happened to his niece!

A few months ago, they had gone on a trip to the mountains and forests near the Mizujin Dam that was being built during the summer vacation, and his sister, Shizu Amakura, knew that the sisters wanted to return to the place where they used to play as children before the dam was built, so they agreed to it.

However, just half a day after the sisters arrived at the Mizujin Dam, Shizune Amakura completely lost contact with them.

In a panic, she hurriedly called the local police to report it, but after a day of searching, the police found nothing.

Because Jing has always been suffering from chronic illness and has difficulty moving, she specially asked her younger brother, Hotaru Amakura, to go there to assist the police in the investigation.

But when she arrives at the place and learns from the police the approximate whereabouts of her two nieces have disappeared, Hotaru realizes how serious the situation really is.

For many years, there has been a story in the area about a village that has disappeared from the map in the middle of the forest, where a brutal massacre took place, and only a girl survived.

The village has always been shrouded in the darkness of the night of the massacre, and when tourists get lost in the woods, the metropolis is lured to the village, after which they disappear forever.

This is not a rumor to be laughed at, as Hotaru, a fantasy novelist, had come here to investigate the legend for the sake of the material, and there was plenty of strong evidence to confirm the existence of the village and the dozens of disappearances over the years.

However, as if blessed by God, it was not long before two girls were found by the lake in the mountains and forests, leaning on their shoulders as if they were asleep to each other.

The police wanted to get some clues from the two girls for investigation, but the two girls who woke up seemed to have been in a trance as if they had been greatly stimulated, and the cocoon was a little better, but they asked the police a very inexplicable question: "Can you find Ling Yan?" The one who saved me and Mio? ”

Mio, on the other hand, just stared blankly at her hands, and from time to time she would bow her head and hide her face and sob.

In desperation, Hotaru had to send the two sisters to the hospital for recuperation, hoping to make her two nieces better......

However, it was this incident that made the two sisters completely asleep now, and they became what they are now.

- What is this!? Why do you have to let this happen to them?

"Hmm...... Uh-huh......" Suddenly Mio let out a snoring sound, opened her eyes and sat up from the bed, shaking her somewhat groggy head.

"Mio, are you feeling better?" Seeing Mio wake up, Ying immediately asked.

"Uncle......?" She looked at Ying, and then said in frustration: "I...... Seeing Ling Jun...... Over there! ”

"Or did he just look at you and immediately turn away?"

"Yes...... It's still the same, so he looked at me and my sister and ...... Huh? With a heavy heart, she inadvertently turned her gaze and looked at the person behind Ying.

I don't know why my hair turned red, but it was because of something that caused my dark eyes......

Unlike the one in the dream, he smiled gently and said hello, "Long time no see, Mio, it's still so cute." ”
