Suzuki's full name is Suzuki Narumi, and her husband's surname is after marriage. Because the child is autistic, the relationship between the couple has also been affected.

Although the husband's salary is handed over as usual, he is often away from home. always runs business all over the country, especially after Cheng Mei politely refused her husband's request to have another child.

In fact, there are so many expatriates. However, Chengmei didn't want to delve into it, she devoted herself to taking care of Ryogo.

The park began to change a month ago, and Narumi remembers it very well because of the first snow in Tokyo that day.

Ryogo showed a rare attention to the first snow, standing on a stool in the living room and looking down at the park by the window—their family lived on the fifth floor of a six-story building next to the park, and they had an unobstructed view of the park.

"Ryogo, Ryogo." Cheng Mei called patiently several times, and after making sure that Ryogo's attention was shifted to herself, she slowly said to him, "Ryogo, are you interested in those outside?" ”

Ryogo looked at her.

Cheng Mei said again: "Look, it's snowing." Every snowflake is different. We can go down there and take a look at the world after the snow. Mom got you a raincoat? ”

Ryogo retracted his gaze, looked at the park, and said nothing, neither objecting nor agreeing. He just looked downstairs with his unfocused eyes, like he would normally do in a daze.

Cheng Mei watched her son's performance, and a great sourness hit her heart. If it were an ordinary child, he would be excited to discuss the snow scene with his parents at this time, but Ryogo himself is not interested in everything around him, and no one can know what is in his seven-year-old little head.

Chengmei's nose was sour and her eyes were red, but she tried her best to restrain her urge to cry, wiped her tears and touched Ryogo's head: "It's okay, Ryogo, you watch it here, it doesn't matter how long you want to watch it." ”

Just when she thought Ryogo wouldn't respond to him, Ryogo, who was holding the window, suddenly spoke: "There." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Mei was stunned for a moment, and then ecstatic, "What? Ryogo, what did you say? ”

"There." Ryogo pointed to the bottom of the park.

Cheng Mei followed his finger and looked down, but saw nothing.

"Anything?" Chengmei asked.

Ryogo didn't answer, his gaze moved with his fingers, and Narumi saw his eyes gradually rise up, and finally looked up at the top of his head.

They have another floor of residents above them.

Ryogo's movements showed that he wanted to see the upstairs, and his body was getting outer, but he couldn't continue to look up because of the glass and guardrails. But he's still trying.

"Ryogo, do you see anything?" Cheng Mei asked again.

Ryogo's movements did not change, but he replied to Cheng Mei: "Mao Mao Monster." ”

"Hairy monsters?"

"Hairy monster, go up, horror." Ryogo said.

"Huh? Ryogo: Did you mean something went up? Narumi tried to figure out what Ryogo meant, "Did you see the bird?" ”

Ryogo shook his head and repeated a word: "Mao Mao Monster, Mao Mao Monster." ”

Cheng Mei didn't understand, and asked again: "What is the hairy monster, can Ryogo tell his mother?" ”

However, Ryogo didn't say anything, he retracted his gaze, and lost interest in the park, and continued to fiddle with the toys in his hand and let Chengmei ask anything more, and he didn't speak.

Chengmei often encounters such a situation and doesn't take it to heart.

However, in the middle of the night that day, Chengmei heard a very terrible scream from upstairs, which woke up Chengmei, who was sleeping lightly.

She was suspicious that something might have happened, but in line with the principle of not disturbing others, Chengmei did not intend to interfere, and her husband was not at home.

She got up and went to the living room to get a glass of water, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Ryogo in pajamas looking up at the window he was holding during the day. The scene was very strange at one point. Cheng Mei was taken aback.

"Ryogo, why are you here so late?" Cheng Mei walked over and planned to leave with Ryogo in her arms. But Ryogo resisted.

"It's late, let's go back to sleep." Cheng Mei persuaded each other.

During this time, Ryogo first looked upstairs and then down at the park. Suddenly shouted angrily at Cheng Mei, waving his hands and feet: "The hairy monster is gone!" The furry monster is gone! Someone is going to be unlucky! ”

The word "unlucky" is an advanced word, and Narumi didn't teach Ryogo, but Ryogo used this word that he shouldn't have mastered.

If it was an ordinary time, Chengmei would definitely be very happy. But now, in the middle of the night, there is an unknown scream from upstairs, and his autistic child is using the not-so-auspicious high-level word "unlucky".

Cheng Mei shuddered, and a wave of fear kept rising from the bottom of her heart.

She stepped forward and hugged Ryogo to calm him down, but also to calm herself down.

"Alright, alright. It's late. "No matter what happens, the first thing you need now is sleep." Only by sleeping well can Ryo Tomorrow continue to play the game, whether it's that furry monster or a little dinosaur. ”

This time, Ryogo seemed to understand what Chengmei meant, and he gradually calmed down and let Chengmei hold him. In the end, Cheng Mei pulled him into the bedroom and let him sleep next to him.

Ryogo quickly fell asleep, and when he fell asleep, he didn't look like an autistic kid at all, he was very smart. Cheng Mei kissed Ryogo's forehead, tears slid down, and muttered, "My Ryogo." ”

The next day, everything was calm, and instead of continuing to stare at the park, Ryogo began his daily block building block and playtime. Narumi spent an afternoon teaching him everyday Japanese vocabulary.

Ryogo graduated from kindergarten, but he never found a suitable elementary school, so Chengmei simply taught him by himself.

After teaching Ryogo and having dinner, in the evening Chengmei went to attend the monthly meeting of the residents of the whole building. The purpose of the meeting is to get the floor manager to explain the usage of the various expenses for the month and the relationship between the residents. First talked about the maintenance cost of the elevator, then the problem of dumping garbage, and finally, the residents on the sixth floor spoke at the moment when everyone was leaving.

"Sorry to disturb everyone last night." The man said, "My wife has had nightmares. ”

"Ah, I was sick." Someone responded, "We can understand that." ”

I didn't take it to heart when I got the explanation that it became beautiful.

However, in the evening of the same day, the same situation arose, screams of terror. When she woke up, she subconsciously went to the living room, and it was reassuring that Ryogo didn't show up, and she was a little more relieved.

Day 2 and Day 3·····

This went on for a week, screaming could be heard every day, and Serumi was woken up every time. It made her sleep very badly.

And so the rumors appeared.

"The resident on the sixth floor, his wife seems to have fallen into an evil spirit, and she was entangled in something." Someone said, "Every day at the end of the day, I have nightmares that there is an old woman with no hair and no face who wants to peel off her scalp and use it herself." Now I am sick and have a fever and am sent to the hospital, but I can't find the cause. And it's not just us, there are two people next door who are in the same situation. ”

"Some people came to see the monks and said that they were entangled in strange talk because they worshipped a god who was not a god." The person who told Cheng Mei the rumor looked left and right and lowered his voice, "That's the nameless shrine in our park." I don't know what it is. Do you know why you didn't push it when you built the park? On the surface, it is said that in order to protect cultural relics, in fact, there is no way to overturn it. Once the shrine was constructed, some workers fell ill for some reason and almost died, but the shrine was simply preserved. ”

"But it was fine before." The rumors about the shrine are known to Chengmei, but there have been no abnormal incidents when they have moved in, and it has been a few years, "It should have nothing to do with that shrine." ”

"I don't know, but it's better to be careful. We don't plan to go for a walk in the park until they get better, Suzuki-san, so be careful. After sharing the gossip, the man left.

Almost a month has passed as of today, and the three of them are still not getting better, and their condition has gotten worse, and they have hallucinated that they are dying.

As a result, more and more people believe in strange theories about park shrines. The condominium keeper is even organizing donations to find a priest from the shrine to do a ritual. Cheng Mei has a half-believing attitude towards these, and pays with the public, and no longer goes to the park in line with the principle of being careful.

But yesterday Ryogo suddenly proposed to go to the park to play.,It's today and tomorrow.,Chengmei called Michiko, who has always been uninterested in weird talk, to come here together.。

Faced with a paragraph about Ryogo in the face of Kurihara Tsukasa Tsurashimi, she only talked about the shrine, she was woken up and someone was sick, and concluded: "Because those people have not been well, the rumors have not stopped, and many people feel uncomfortable staying in the park, so the flow of people here is getting less and less." ”
