012 Park
The hair was brown and shiny, and Tsukasa Kurihara immediately remembered Adachi's hair, and the two were similar in color. He didn't immediately pick it up and look at it, but stood there and watched from side to side, and finally focused on the gap where the sculpture had disappeared into flowing water.
He put his hand on it, and felt a chill in his palm that had not subsided, and then the chill was retracted like a fox tail exposed.
"It's pretty fast." Tsukasa Kurihara chuckled.
He flipped his palm and was about to pick up his hair, but the moment his hand approached, the hair crumbled into powder. Tsukasa Kurihara felt that the powder was familiar.
The powder that covers Anda's body?
Tsukasa Kurihara twisted a little with his fingertips, felt the touch of the powder, and sprinkled it onto the back of his hand. As soon as the powder touched the back of Kurihara's hand, it squirmed on Kurihara's skin like a living bug.
It really happened to him, so that Tsukasa Kurihara could see what was going on.
Each piece of powder grew pin-like spikes, and the mosquito-like mouth tried to stick the spikes into Kurihara's skin.
And they succeeded. However, the next moment it penetrated into the skin of Tsukasa Kurihara, it shrank into a smaller part than the original and became inactive. A gust of wind blew the powder away from Tsukasa Kurihara's skin.
The shrine is back to normal, everything is rejuvenated, and the sounds of the park are reappearing.
Tsukasa Kurihara heard footsteps and looked up, and a slender figure appeared at the end of the stone path.
The figure is a woman, wearing a hat and mask, and the moment she sees Tsukasa Kurihara, she immediately turns around and runs away. Tsukasa Kurihara hurried to follow, but the other party had already disappeared into the park. Because it was not clear who the person was, Tsukasa Kurihara could not use his ability to locate him, so he could only let her escape from his hands.
Tsukasa Kurihara squinted slightly as he walked around the park, still the same as when he came, there were children and parents on the other side of the bunker, and there were no suspicious characters on the walkway.
"Very skilled, it doesn't seem to be the first time." Tsukasa Kurihara analyzed, "I also know that I am doing something bad. Heavily armed, he subconsciously fled····· Around Anda. ”
Tsukasa Kurihara had a flash of inspiration in his mind, his eyebrows raised, and his face put on such an expression. He walked up to a housewife by the bunker and asked, "Excuse me, can I disturb you?" ”
The housewife was about thirty years old, and when she heard someone speak, she subconsciously moved two steps to the side, but the vigilance in her eyes disappeared a little when she saw Tsukasa Kurihara's face - young handsome guys are popular with women no matter what age they are.
"Is there anything wrong?" The housewife asked.
"I'm a reporter for LCB TV, and I've been collecting park usage around Tokyo lately." While talking, Tsukasa Kurihara took out the document and showed it to the housewife in front of him, and the name on the certificate was: Ichiro Watanabe.
"What should I call you?" Tsukasa Kurihara asked.
The housewife hesitated for a moment, relaxed her vigilance under the reassuring eyes of Tsukasa Kurihara and replied, "Just call me Suzuki." ”
"Suzuki-san, do you mind recording?" Tsukasa Kurihara immediately used the title.
Suzuki tapped his jaw in agreement with Tsukasa Kurihara's actions.
Tsukasa Kurihara began to ask, "What is the use of this park in ordinary times?" ”
"Normally, we parents bring our children to play, because it's nice to have a bunker." Suzuki replied.
"Is that all?"
"Hmmm... There are also some elderly people who come for a walk, occasionally young people who find a free corner to do some club activities, and when the weather is good, they also come to have a picnic. ”
But it was clear that none of the things Suzuki had added later had happened in the park, and Tsukasa Kurihara asked, "But there seem to be very few people in the park right now other than you." ”
Suzuki didn't speak, as if thinking about how to answer Tsukasa Kurihara's question.
"It's all because of the shrine in the park that I don't know what it's called." A loud voice came from the side.
Tsukasa Kurihara looked over and saw a housewife with loose hair who looked two or three years younger than Suzuki talking, and a little girl was standing timidly behind her. The little girl hides behind her mother and peeks at Tsukasa Kurihara with half an eye.
As Tsukasa Kurihara approached, the housewife had already noticed this.
"Michiko, don't talk about that thing in that tone." Suzuki said to Michiko in a bit of a panic, "In case ·····"
"What in case? Didn't we come to believe the rumors, so why cower like those who dare not come? "Michiko doesn't care," they reporters don't want to listen to these boring parents. You have to have something interesting to have a shot and weight, and you have to be on TV. Isn't it—"
"My surname is Watanabe."
"Really, reporter Watanabe?" Michiko finished adding the latter sentence and looked at Tsukasa Kurihara with a smile, looking a little excited.
"Hmm." Tsukasa Kurihara nodded, observing Michiko and Suzuki without a trace, and said, "Actually, I'm investigating strange rumors or rumors about the park, just those things that are not normal. I've visited many similar places in Tokyo, and I heard that there was something unusual about the park, so I came to investigate. If the investigation is qualified, a follow-up team will come to shoot. ”
Michiko had a really such expression, and she saw Tsukasa Kurihara coming from the direction of the Park Shrine.
However, Suzuki next to her was full of sorrow, and Michiko's words caused a certain thought in her heart, which made her ignore Tsukasa Kurihara for the time being and look at her companion beside her: "Let's not come again tomorrow, it's really reassuring." ”
"What about Ryogo, Ryogo is asking you to continue to bring him to play tomorrow." Michiko grabbed Suzuki's life at once.
Suzuki looked at the sand pit in front of him, where three children were building a castle together, and in the distance there was a boy digging sand alone with a shovel. That is her son Ryogo Suzuki, who is already seven years old. Older than all the children present.
Ryogo is a child diagnosed with autism, and so is Michiko's daughter, but the two took this opportunity to get acquainted.
It was difficult for Ryogo to take the initiative and he didn't talk much, but he said yesterday that he wanted to come to the park to play. That's why Suzuki brought his children here.
Except for Suzuki and Michiko, who live nearby, the parents who were there were all casual visitors who had moved here by chance. Now that I heard the conversation between Tsukasa Kurihara and them, I didn't know when I leaned over and pricked up my ears.
"But ·····" Suzuki was still worried, "If you think about it for a while, there is indeed something wrong with the situation here, there are already three people with high fevers, and they are still talking about seeing an old woman with no hair and face····· It's weird, isn't it? ”
"Don't worry." Michiko is still big-hearted, "The three of them become tigers, and the rumors will only get stranger and stranger, do you see that we didn't have any accidents?" ”
Seeing that the topic seemed to be developing in the direction of the two of them, Tsukasa Kurihara reminded in a loud voice: "Suzuki-san, Michiko-san, I wonder if you can tell me what happened in this park?" ”
