Bang bang bang!

Yasuta Miyake clenched his fists and slammed the door, and the sturdy security door made a dull sound.

"Chiaki, are you in there!"

Bang bang bang!

Knock again.

"I'm really angry, you better tell us what you've been up to for the past two days!"

Still no one responded.

Yasuta Miyake approached the security door, and his brother's house couldn't hear a sound, and the entire corridor was as silent as death.

Only a little rain splashed down the masonry fence of the corridor, soaking the air cold and damp, which was unpleasant.

The younger brother really doesn't seem to be at home.

"Where the hell did that kid go?"

But just now Chiaki took the phone, and his tone sounded ordinary.

In other words, nothing happened to him.

Maybe it's just that I don't want to see myself.

Yasuya Miyake realized this too early, and the gap between the social status of the two brothers became bigger and bigger as an adult, and every time he saw his younger brother, he would be under great psychological pressure.

Also, for that kid Chiaki, what's the good thing about the big brother who has achieved nothing?

He was finally going to leave.

When he reached the staircase, Yasuta Miyake shook the umbrella in his hand and turned back again.

The door to his brother's apartment was still closed, and in the darkness of the environment, it stood like a lifeless tombstone.

Naturally, the tombstone cannot be opened.

"Hell, it's so cold in here."

Miyake tugged at his rain-soaked and wrinkled clothes and walked downstairs.

……

About an hour after Yasuta Miyake left.

The Kamiya family's modified Mazda, a ghost with a heavy industrial texture, drove to the bottom of the apartment where Chiaki Miyake lived.

Toshima Oishi embedded the car in a nearby alley, and the door stopped towards the alley.

Ghost cars have never had a hard time parking, as long as you find a no-no corner, you can park anywhere.

The big stone in front of him got out of the cab, opened a black umbrella, and picked up his boss to get out of the car.

"Dashi, I can hold an umbrella myself."

Kamiya got out of the car and stood under the umbrella.

Toshitoma Oishi held the handle of the umbrella and seemed to be very excited: "Please let me come, boss!" I've wanted to do this for a long time, boss, don't you think it's more handsome for me to give you an umbrella? I'm like your driver and bodyguard, let's go to see that family like this, you will be like a pole boy, and your aura is absolutely in place. ”

Kamiya silently glanced at the dazzling yellow hair on his little brother's head.

I don't know if the temperament of the Extreme Childe is there, but standing with you always feels that I feel a few points heavier than the bad boy on the street.

He who touches pitch will be defiled.

"Don't let your head fall and scare people."

"No problem, Boss!"

Holding an umbrella by a large stone, Kamiya walked out of the alley.

Leaving Tsukada Satake's house just now, Kamiya called Mr. Void according to the contact information.

But no one answered.

Kamiya thought about it for a while, and simply came to the door according to the address to have a look. Although it is somewhat rude to come to the door without saying hello as a stranger, it is better to meet as much as possible as much as possible for a good scriptwriter.

Whoop –

The torrential rain has been falling for a long time this afternoon, and there is no intention of stopping now.

The moisture is mixed with the damp smell of the earth.

The sky and the earth were muddy in the rain and turned into a cup of turbidity, and the black and oppressive buildings on the ground were like sediment at the bottom of the cup.

Kamiya walked to the bottom of the apartment building and suddenly stopped.

In front of him, only a few of the five-story apartment buildings were lit up, and the lights were hazy in the mist of water.

"Abba woohoo!"

At his feet, the little old man found himself up, raised his hand and pointed to the fourth floor of the apartment, telling him what he had discovered.

"Boss, and the little old man? What's wrong? ”

Oishi Junma's perception ability is not too strong, and when he saw the boss stop, he also stopped, and tilted the umbrella in his hand more towards the boss.

Kamiya didn't reply immediately, but just looked up, his eyes shrinking slightly, becoming deep and dark.

The rain flowed down the black umbrella, converging into a waterline and slowly sliding down his eyes.

Smack.

The waterline smashed into the stagnant water on the ground, swaying into muddy ripples and splashing Xiaoice thin and cold droplets.

"Something is wrong here."

Kamiyagawa pulled out a text from the [Mirage Cloth Bag].

……

Yasuta Miyake drove home from Roppongi, Minato-ku.

He rented a one-family building in Shinagawa Ward and lived with his girlfriend.

However, his girlfriend has been on a business trip in the past two days, so he is the only one at home.

Yasuta Miyake returned home with a bento box he had bought from a convenience store halfway through.

He casually put the lunch box on the table, took off half of his clothes, and was about to take a shower, but as soon as he walked to the bathroom door, he heard the doorbell ring in the entrance.

Bell – Bell – Bell –

"Who?"

"Big brother, it's me, Chiaki."

My brother's voice came from the doorway.

Chiaki?

I couldn't find anyone else just now, so now why did this kid come by himself.

"Wait!"

Yasuta put on a pair of shorts and took a dry towel to wipe his hair as he walked towards the door.

The door opens.

Standing outside was his younger brother Chiaki Miyake.

The brother he didn't like and was secretly jealous of.

Chiaki didn't look much like his tall and burly brother, he was a little thin and a little short.

Chiaki was wearing a white shirt and jeans, and most of his pants were wet. He stood in the doorway with an umbrella in his hand and glasses covered with water vapor on the bridge of his nose.

I don't know if it was cold or something else, his thin lips were a little pale.

"You...... Where have you been? ”

Kang Tai wanted to be angry again, but seeing his brother's embarrassed appearance, he really didn't know what to say, and his anger had been reduced by half on the way home just now.

"I'm sorry, big brother. I encountered some things, some ...... It's hard to tell. ”

Chiaki said this, glancing back a little uneasily.

Behind him there was only the dark streets, the trees of which were shaken by the wind and rain.

"Come in first."

Kang Tai turned sideways, let his brother in, and by the way, went to the bathroom to get a dry towel and threw it to him.

The brothers sat down on tatami mats in the living room.

"What the hell is going on? Would you like to drink some water? Yasuta Miyake asked him.

"No, big brother. What I'm going to tell you, it's weird, but really, trust me. ”

After Chiaki sat down, he still looked a little uneasy and anxious, and frequently looked up at the wall clock on the wall.

"Say it."

Kang Tai was puzzled in his heart, his younger brother seemed to be a little abnormal, he had not been so chattering before.

"I seem to ...... Targeted by something, a ...... Can't tell what it is, supernatural stuff. ”

"Huh? Did you write your brain badly? ”

"Really, big brother! Big brother, you ...... You just went to my house, right? ”

"Yes, yes. But after knocking on the door for a while, and no one answered, I left. ”

"You shouldn't go, that thing is probably in my house, and it might be eyeing you. Big brother, will you go to a nearby shrine or temple now? I don't know if it's useful or not, but it's better than staying here! Yes...... No, I'm going with you, I'm going to have to go with you, maybe it'll show up halfway through. ”

"What the hell are you talking about? What shrine temple? I think it's better to send you to the hospital first. ”

"Big brother, really, you have to believe me, really believe me!"

Chiaki's tone suddenly became almost pleading, and his words were incoherent, which caught Kang Tai off guard.

After being silent for about ten seconds, Miyake's brother sighed: "If going to the shrine can calm you down, it's not impossible." But you're going to tell me what's going on, right? Otherwise, with such a heavy rain, how could you make me stupid to go out with you again? ”

Hearing Yasuta's words, Chiaki finally calmed down a little.

Kang Tai didn't completely deny his illogical words, he just needed a reasonable explanation.

It's like...... Like that when I was a kid.

When he was a child, as long as Chiaki could explain things and his inner thoughts to his brother clearly, his brother would stand by his side unconditionally.

It's the same with writing light.

Chiaki initially shared the idea with her brother and received support from her brother.

Thinking of this, Chiaki Miyake seemed to be a little relieved, and he planned to use the shortest words and the shortest time to roughly tell his brother about his experience in the past few days.

"Big brother, it's like this-"

……

It all started half a month ago.

Because Tokuma Studio was acquired and reorganized, and the script work at hand had been completed, Chiaki Miyake was given a week's vacation.

When his two friends, Hirosho and Jieyou, learned of the situation and invited him to Akita to play.

These two friends are both from Akita Prefecture, and Chiaki Miyake are college classmates, and they usually have a good relationship.

The reason for inviting Chiaki to Akita was because it was summer, and a summer festival was held there.

Kanto Festival.

At that time, young people dressed in traditional festival costumes perform in a parade at night. Using the hips, shoulders or forehead, take turns to lift a bamboo pole twelve meters high, decorated with 46 paper lanterns and pieces of paper and fastened with bamboo sticks.

Flutes and drums march through the streets of the town, cheering enthusiastically as they march and ensure that the lanterns are not extinguished, praying for good weather and a good harvest.

Generally speaking, the Kanto Festival in Akita City is held in August.

However, in some rural areas, the time of the event may be a little different, such as in a rural town on the side of Iwaki Mountain, where Hiroki lives, it starts in July, and there are gatherings at night.

It's a good place for Chiaki Miyake to relax in the past, and it's also good to go to collect materials as a writer.

Naturally, Miyake agreed to his friend's invitation.

When he arrived in Akita, he lived in Hiroshi's house.

On the night of the Iwaki Mountain Summer Lantern Festival, three young people went to Linzhen, where the festival was held.

They went by motorcycle, and two local friends drove one each, and Chiaki Miyake sat in the back seat of Hiroshi.

The festival is very lively, and the lanterns that shine brightly at night are a symbol of the golden ears of rice, which are lit up by the pole lanterns that march along the river.

Three young people had a great time.

By the time the celebration and sacrifice were over, and the rally was over, it was already half past eleven in the evening.

The three of them planned to stay at Guangzhao's house closer tonight, so they drove back.

At first, there were still a lot of cars on the road, because there were many people who also went home after attending the festival. After a while, after some intersections, the number of vehicles on the road decreased, until at last the empty country road was left with only their two locomotives.

Driving like this, Miyake, who was sitting in the back seat of Guangzhao, suddenly noticed that the car that had been following Jieyu was missing.

It seems that after passing a traffic light, I slowed down a little and never followed.

So the two of them pulled to the side of the road.

After waiting for about five minutes, I still didn't see Jieyou appear, and no one answered the phone.

There was no way, Chizhang and Guangzhao could only ride back the same way to find someone.

On the way back, they weren't too worried.

"Maybe Jieyou's car is just a breakdown and can't catch fire."

After driving for about a kilometer, the two found Jieyou's car and parked on the side of the road.

The keys were not pulled.

Guangzhao stepped forward and tried it, and sure enough, the car couldn't ignite.

But it's strange that only the locomotive is left here, but the Jieyou people are not there.

So the two had to try to call each other's phone again, while shouting around to find him.

That section of the road was lined with farmland, and there was no light, and you could hear the noisy chirping of frogs in the fields.

As soon as the call went out, I heard the mobile phone ringing in a nearby field.

The two followed the sound and finally saw Jieyou.

He looked frightened, his eyes wide open, his mouth wide open, his face stained with tears and covered in mud. Standing in the paddy field like that, maintaining a strange posture of stretching his hands forward, motionless like a scarecrow, no matter how Chiaki and Hirosho called him, he didn't react.

Jieyu's action was so weird.

It doesn't feel like he's straightening his arms naturally, but rather like someone pulling his hands hard in front of him.

Guangzhao and Chiaki were both frightened by the scene in front of them, but in the end, there was no way, and the two of them went down and dragged Jieyou up.

pushed and carried the locomotive that placed him on Guangzhao, and finally Guangzhao sat in the front, the soulless Jieyou was sandwiched in the middle, and Qianzhang sat in the last way in such an illegal way, and he reluctantly returned to Guangzhao's home.

As for Jieyou's locomotive, he could only pull out the key and stop in place.

When I got home, I cleaned up for a while, and it was already past one o'clock in the morning.

The distracted Jieyou finally slowly regained a little consciousness during this period, and under Chiaki's questioning, he talked about what happened before intermittently, with a trembling voice.

"My car broke down and wouldn't catch fire. So I can only push the car to the side of the road, thinking about calling you back. ”

"Then on the other side of the road, under the streetlights, a woman suddenly appeared and beckoned to me. The woman...... It's strange, and the clothes I'm wearing are also strange, standing straight under the somewhat dazzling street lamp, looking at the hairy in my heart. ”

"I shouted at her, and she didn't react, just stood and kept waving to me."

"I was scared, but then ...... I don't remember what happened after that. ”

After listening to Jieyou's narration, Chiaki and Guangzhao both had a chill down their backs.

Things are so weird tonight.

Because it is a house in the countryside, Guangzhao's family has several rooms, and they originally divided the rooms, but tonight they simply made the mattresses and slept together.

I don't know what time it was at night, Chiaki, who was sleeping in a daze, seemed to hear Jieyou, who was lying not far away, muttering something mechanically.

He barely stood up and looked in the direction of Jieyou, and saw that his friend was still lying under the quilt, and there was no movement.

So the sleepy Chiaki fell asleep again.

What he didn't know was that that night, his friend had been lying stiff with his eyes open the whole time.

Jieyou is indeed murmuring.

He said, "...... I still want to go back. ”

When he woke up the next day, Jieyou was no longer in the room, and Guangzhao couldn't find his figure at home.

After that, Chiaki and Hirosho received a call from Jieyou's mother, and the mother cried and told them an unacceptable news-

Jieyou is dead.
