What fluttered and fell in the sky looked like snow, but it was actually an endless stream of dust. As long as you walk in the open air, your hair will soon be covered with patches of dust.

“…… Why hasn't Sadako come back yet? Does it take so long to pack things up in the kitchen? The mechanic stretched again, re-reading the menu four or five times in the fast-food restaurant, and reading the magazines scattered around her seat, but until she simply finished reading, Sadako Yamamura still didn't show up.

Lu Mengyao, who was sitting at the window staring out at the ashes in the fog outside the window, took two seconds to react. The magician went backstage to take a look and walked back with a blank face.

"Sadako is gone."

"What?!" Gage jumped up from her seat, "How could someone so big disappear?" ”

She left through the back door. There is no trace of a fight, it should be a choice she made herself. As a psychic person, Sadako is the most adaptable person in our team to this world, and this will happen...... With her character, it is impossible to abandon us and act alone, in my estimation, she should be drawn out by something, or drawn into a deeper place by the power of the accusation. ”

The magician pressed his thumb to his temple and sighed.

"I'm going to find her." The Mechomancer stood up from his seat, "Can't let her be left alone here...... Aren't you coming? ”

Lu Mengyao hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "Maybe in this world, getting together and forming a team is not the best way to get through the guò level. Everyone has their own Silent Hill, though I have a hunch that the presiding officer of this place has tampered with the rules of this supernatural place. But...... Judging by the intelligence gathered so far, the rule that it will use our own psychological barriers against us has not changed. In my opinion. This is not something that can be solved by 'acting together'. ”

"Can we just sit here and think about the universe, life, and things like that?"

Sadako had left at least ten minutes ago. You can't find her when you go out now. Lu Mengyao said slowly word by word.

“…… I'm sorry, but I'm going to find her...... If I can't find her, I'll be back...... Meet at this burger joint. The girl with short brown hair stood up, saw that Lu Mengyao didn't mean to follow, and went straight to pick up a dinner knife from the back kitchen and inserted it into her boots, and left through the back door.

The magician sat on a stool in the dining room, silently counted to fifty in his mind, then turned on his phone and dialed back directly.

“…… What's next? ”

【…… I was not mistaken. Dear little viper. Now, walk out through the main entrance. 】

A voice that was extremely similar to Su Jing came from the mobile phone, but this voice was lower than Su Jing's voice, with careless desire and malice, which made Lu Mengyao feel a slight sense of discomfort. Su Jing sometimes lengthens his voice, but he always has the same feelings when he speaks to himself, not like this voice, the emotions contained in it are pure overlook.

Demons, you will pay the price.

Lu Mengyao clamped her phone between her shoulders. Use a pen to copy down the location where the demon on the phone prompted her.

――――――

It would be nice if Ah Jing was here.

Gage walked against the wall of the street, hugging her slender bare arms. Sadako Yamamura's footprints stood out on the pale ash road, and although they were a little hidden by the dust flying in the sky, they were still recognizable.

Mechanics aren't stupid. On the contrary, her little brain is much more flexible than most, except that she always lets her intellect be used in more interesting activities. For example, for the study of higher technology, technical research is always much simpler than interpersonal relationships.

The magician and her are not compatible. Although she has always been kind to herself, the two have almost opposite styles. Lu Mengyao always plans and then acts. Gathering information little by little, and then looking for the most successful action from all possibilities, Gage is a thorough doer, pursuing a bold and reckless radical strategy. If there is Su Jing's coordination, the two can still be safe and sound, and each will be safe; But when there are only three people left, Sadako Yamamura, who is coordinated in the middle, completely lacks the decisiveness and domineering power to control the two, and the contradiction between Lu Mengyao and Gai Qi is inevitably highlighted.

After all, I'm not stupid than her...... The mechanic sorcerer scratched his floppy hair and traced it all the way to Sadako Yamamura's footprints. Miss Sadako, who has a soft personality and is kind and upright, is the coordinator of the team, and both Gaiqi and Lu Mengyao trust her very much. Sadako Yamamura suddenly disappears, and the brown-haired girl is very worried.

Miss Sadako's footsteps did not hesitate and did not go around in circles, that is to say...... Someone was guiding her. The footprints stretched all the way into the gate of Silent Hill Elementary School, and the mechanic sorcerer stood at the gate and paused, even if she was bold, it was too unscrupulous to break in like this. At the very least, it's better to have a basic self-defense weapon. And in this place want to look for weapons...... She turned her gaze to the shop across the street.

Three minutes later, the mechanic broke down the door of a roadside grocery store and found some gadgets, as well as a pistol hidden under the cash register. With a gun in hand, Gage's confidence immediately increased a lot. In the world of Silent Hill theme, no matter how you think about it, there will be no too exaggerated monsters......

Without hesitation, she kicked open the front door and broke into the dilapidated little school.

Ten seconds later, an inhuman, loud roar resounded throughout the campus.

――――――

"Sadako-chan, this is the world I made for you. You've been so cute since you were so young......" Raven whispered softly from the shoulders of the long-haired girl, and Sadako Yamamura stood at the back door of the elementary school classroom, standing still.

The warm golden sunset poured in through the window, and the girl lying on the windowsill looked only about ten years old, but even at such a young age, she showed a magical beauty.

The pale and sickly little girl, with beautiful features with a neutral beauty, and a silky black hair with a slight moisture draped behind her head, should be a carefree age, but her eyes are full of melancholy. Her body is filled with a sense of vulnerability that makes people want to be pitied, like a phantom whose sense of existence is too thin.

"The heroine of the tragic story is talking about you, my little Sadako......" the crow's voice carried a hint of imperceptible mockery, "how lovely, even without me, there would be men who would be attracted by your beauty like moths to the flames." Your blood is a curse, a curse that charms the men of the world, and countless men are destined to fall for you...... But what about yourself? ”

Sadako Yamamura grabbed the wooden door frame, and a slight feeling of dizziness came from her brain. Memories of the past began to emerge, memories that I had deliberately forgotten.

There are a lot of seats missing in the classroom...... That's because...... Why?

The man in the black coat walked into the classroom like an unlucky shadow standing in front of the girl. He leaned down and wrapped his black robe around the girl's thin body, his blood-stained bandage-covered face, his blood-dripping lips imprinted on the girl's forehead, and carved a mark on the delicate skin.

“…… No! Sadako Yamamura shouted in a low voice, a tingling pain in her forehead, and she pressed her palm against the center of her eyebrows, a slight tearing pain. When she reopened her eyes, it was just an empty classroom. The icy light of the sky cut through the fog and cast through the broken windows in the slowly flying dust.

The crow on her shoulder spread its wings and flew to the windowsill.

Sadako Yamamura sleepwalked to the desk in the back row of the classroom, which was indeed the same as the elementary school classroom she attended...... Same. She opened her desk, which contained the textbook she used to use, as well as a photograph...... She trembled and picked up her fingers, it was a class photo. But nearly half of the heads were crossed with markers.

That wave. That outing to the beach...... Sadako Yamamura pressed her head with the palm of her hand, and the blood began to beat, the call from the depths of the sea, the secret shrine maiden bloodline, the girl who communicated with the god of the sea, sat on the beach by herself that day, listening to the sound of the sea, and the riot in the blood......

It was I who summoned the Great Wave and killed my classmates.

The waves came as she remembered, and she clung to her dusty desk, exhausted.

"How pitiful." Standing on the windowsill, the crow said, "Children full of childhood shadows are always like this, longing for tolerance and love from others. Poor cute beautiful Sadako who is hated by people, your desire to be cared for has never been satisfied until I appear. As long as you say some sweet words softly, as long as you keep looking at you with my eyes, as long as I give you a little warmth, you will hold on tightly and dare not let go...... As long as I give you peace of mind, you will become my thing, drowning in the water called 'love' with all your heart, drowning yourself little by little......"

"Shut ...... up"

"Shy? Angry? What's so bad about acknowledging your true nature? Let's reminisce together, how long has it been since I met you until we first slept with you? A week? Fortnight? It's really easy to get started, the heroine of a tragedy is always easy to be saved by a true lover, right? Compared to the difficult little viper, you are simply easy. By the way, if it's not Su Jing, but any other adventurer, you'll fall in love with him just as much. ”

"Shut up!!! Don't say such things in Jing's voice!! Blood-red tears flowed from Sadako Yamamura's delicate face, the abandoned classroom instantly turned blood-colored, the walls began to peel off piece by piece, and everything began to decay in the depraved hellish world.

In hell, the crow began to transform, and sitting on the window lattice was a bandaged man dressed in black, the bandages covered with blood were cracked one by one, and under that was Su Jing himself, who showed an innocent and cruel smile. (To be continued......)
