"I ...... Have you been in a daze for a long time? ”

I felt inexplicable discomfort in my thighs, and my panicked head eased up a little.

The chaotic breathing gradually calmed down.

His heart beat like a pole striking the gates, not only uneven, but also as tight as one at a time.

Now it's finally slowing down a bit.

"It's been a long time, Ren Shijun didn't say inexplicably that he wanted to come to the kitchen to have a look, and then he was in a daze here."

Ning Xiuyuan tilted his head.

"Sir, do you have anything else?"

Ren Shijun clenched the crumpled note in his hand.

"No ......"

The heat in your pocket means ......

- Strange talk is around him.

He has always had a secret, or rather, a secret for ordinary people, and that is......

He was cursed by a strange story, and finally through a method, he reached a state of symbiosis.

To put it simply, if you die, this strange talk will also die and be bound together.

He was actually a sworn brother with him, and he died together only because of their deep brotherly affection.

Probably.

Its body was the bottle in his pocket, and it was it that he responded to in his mind.

So in some of the more dangerous moments, it can still be trusted, as for usual?

When it's just farting.

Is this a hallucination? Ren Shijun thought in his heart.

[You yourself know, just don't kid yourself], after a while, it replied.

Grass, you don't care, right, it's a little hard to collapse.

Ren Shijun pulled out a reluctant smile, his heartbeat slowly calmed down, and the fear that had been set off before slowly receded like a tide.

"I came in after not hearing anything outside for a long time."

Ning Xiuyuan explained.

"Well...... then I'll go to the living room and sit down, maybe I've been too sensitive lately."

"Okay, sir, do you want any fruit?"

If there is no weirdness, this must be a polite, cute and loving child.

"No need...... Forget it, please get me a little, thank you ......"

Who's going to eat here?

Ren Shijun was about to refuse immediately, but his voice came from his head: [promise].

At such a time, Ren Shijun thinks that he can still believe it.

Ren Shijun and Ning Xiuyuan came to the living room, Ren Shijun sat on the sofa, and then Ning Xiuyuan went to get the fruit.

Watching Ning Xiuyuan disappear into the living room, Ren Shijun took out a note.

Crumpled, with words written on it, Ren Shijun's face became even more eccentric.

There are words, but they are not the words of the previous ones.

Things have become more complicated, which means that the risk of casualties is greater.

[If you are visiting the house, please check whether the host is the person in question every once in a while.] Black handwriting.

[Please refrain from blaming or behaving strangely about the host's behavior, including but not limited to: suddenly staring at the table while you are eating, sneering at you, and staring at you from the corner of the room.] Red handwriting.

【Leave!】 Black lettering.

So...... Was the note a hint to him?

Is it some kind of rule-based weirdness?

Ren Shijun surfaced the so-called "overturned speculation" before.

Of course, it is naturally not the rule about [hook hanging] that he speculated before.

It's more complicated, some kind of rule-based weirdness......

Probably.

Because it was also possible that this strange talk had a bad taste, Ren Shijun shook his head and threw this idea out of his mind.

What do you think

Please check if the owner is the owner after a while?

What do you mean?

Could it be that here, there is more than one Ning Xiuyuan?

Or some kind of weird talk that can be disguised, or it can be a dual personality, these conditions are met.

This time, the note reads "Leave quickly", which is the opposite of the last "Don't leave".

At the same time, this time it was black handwriting, and last time it was red handwriting, which is different, but what does this represent?

Antithesis? Or something else......

"Da, da"

The sound of water-stained slippers walking on the floor, Ning Xiuyuan came with a fruit tray.

Ning Xiuyuan put it on the table, tilted his head, and looked at Ren Shijun, "Sir, you don't have to be polite. ”

It's an apple, unpeeled, but washed.

Ren Shijun picked up an apple and rubbed it, but he had no intention of eating it.

The knocking on the door had already stopped, and Ning Xiuyuan's father should have left for the time being.

"That...... Do you remember yesterday's password? Ren Shijun suddenly asked.

[If you are visiting the house, please check whether the host is the person in question every once in a while.] 】

"What's wrong with the sheep running?"

It should be me.

"It's nothing, you should be careful, in case I'm pretending to be weird."

Not...... It seems to be oh, Ning Xiuyuan nodded as if he didn't understand.

Ning Xiuyuan sat obediently.

Then there was silence, and finally there was a deathly silence.

"Hee-hee-hee"

The boy's voice broke the dead silence.

Ren Shijun raised his head suddenly and looked at the young man in front of him, his mouth was wide open, and some kind of inexplicable light was reflected in his eyes.

Oops, Ren Shijun immediately lowered his head and pretended to be nothing.

[Please refrain from blaming or behaving strangely about the owner's behavior]

In his mind, he questioned Ren Shijun's behavior, but in the end he only said one sentence: [Next, you just treat yourself as a corpse.] ]

The nervous laughter of the teenager stopped suddenly, and then the sound of sharpening knives.

The young man didn't know where to take out a whetstone, put it on the table, faced Ren Shijun, and sharpened the fruit knife.

A chill swept through Ren Shijun's body.

The light reflected from the knife surface stung Ren Shijun's eyes, and Ren Shijun felt very uncomfortable and drifted his eyes unconsciously.

"Whew... Zi"

The TV was turned on in front of him, but it was not turned on by the young man in front of him, and naturally it was not Ren Shijun himself.

There was no signal, so there was a mosaic on the TV.

It seems that yesterday's picture has appeared in front of me again, swinging corpses, and young people humming nursery rhymes.

[It's an illusion!] It told him so.

Like spring thunder, splitting the overlapping pictures in front of his eyes.

Ren Shijun, who realized it, bit the tip of his tongue with his teeth, and the pain made him a little more sober.

The overlapping parts of the field of vision began to disappear, and the colors that appeared in the field of vision began to fade.

He was still sitting on the sofa, and Ning Xiuyuan was standing in the corner of the living room, staring at him directly, but he didn't speak.

No laughing, no sharpening of knives.

Maybe...... It was just an illusion.

The person who stands still makes him uncomfortable.

is like a puppet, a puppet, obviously a person, but it is so strange that it causes the uncanny valley effect of Ren Shijun.

The heart beats faster, breathing is disturbed, blood pressure rises.

"Password?"

Ren Shijun tried to calm himself down.

"Sheep run."

Ning Xiuyuan, who was a little weird, replied, it was hot all the time in Ren Shijun's pocket.

Ren Shijun suddenly thought of a possibility, if he answered the phone yesterday, he was no longer himself.

In this case...... I also know the password.

Or in another case, the strange talk may have heard the call, which means......

The order is simply unreliable.
