Chapter 29: The Tale of the Seagull (II)
"You're wrong, it's actually mentioned in the diary what it is." I laughed sinisterly.
"What?!" They both screamed in surprise at the same time.
"Did you notice a few contradictions in the last diary?"
The two of them looked at me stunned and shook their heads cooperatively.
Satisfied with my vanity, I smiled, and first pointed to the line "Just like she has life" in the diary and said: "From here, it can be seen that the things that Sister Xiaojie picked up should be lifeless." But in this diary, the gadget is mentioned in several places using the third-person She and the third-person pronoun her instead of It.
What does this prove? It's very simple, one is that the thing is female, and the other is that it must be something in human form, which makes people recognize it as a female at a glance, so they unconsciously use these two words. β
Both of them groaned at the same time.
Yaojia's whole body shook slightly, and then asked with a strange face: "How do you know that it must have a human form?" What if it's in the shape of a kitten or a puppy? β
I asked rhetorically, "If a kitten or a puppy is walking down the street, can you tell its sex at a glance without professional knowledge?" β
Haruka surprisingly didn't refute, just lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.
I asked strangely; "Did you think of anything?"
She was stunned, then shook her head resolutely.
I frowned and didn't say anything more.
Jame said excitedly, "That's easy, just check the relationship between this humanoid object and the church and the rich man, the scope is much smaller." Good! We'll go back right away! β
"By the way, did anyone see anything like that when they searched the house just now?" I asked.
They shook their heads.
Yao Jia said: "My sister has always put it in her handbag in front of her, never leaving her body, and she doesn't let anyone touch it, maybe she lost it when she was in a car accident." β
Silently, I was the first to walk out of the room that made me feel a little sad.
Walking to the living room, Yaojia suddenly coughed a few times, and said with some annoyance: "Ahem...... There's so much dust here, you should find someone to clean it up. β
I shook my whole body, grabbed her hand and shouted, "You...... What did you just say? β
Haruka was taken aback by me, and said a little overwhelmed, "I, I just said that there is a lot of dust here......"
That's right! I finally understood why I had that incongruous feeling when I walked into Sister Xiaojie's room just now......
That room was so neat and clean. Although there is still some dust in the conspicuous place, it gives the impression that it was deliberately sprinkled there.
Walking out the door, I looked at the western sky and said, "It looks like it's going to rain, it's not far from here, I remember there's a youth hostel." We stayed there for one night and will go back tomorrow. β
Haruka and Jame looked at each other and shrugged. Apparently they don't understand that there is a direct connection between the rain and the drive home.
Of course, because they don't know, and I'm not going to tell them a question and an idea that I had just two minutes ago.
Obviously, Sister Xiaojie's room is often cleaned, but who and why is it doing it? What does she (him) have to do with Sister Xiaojie? Is there a connection to her death?
Tonight I decided to visit this old house at night. Perhaps, I can unravel the answer to Sister Xiaojie's mysterious death......
Late at night, the clouds were high, the wind was low, there was no light of the stars and moons, and it was a few drops of light rain. I quietly got out of bed to make sure I didn't disturb them, and then slowly slipped out the door.
The old house is still quiet, and the silence is a little scary.
I cheered up and went to the back of the house, and climbed down the ventilation pipe to Sister Xiaojie's room on the second floor. When I came during the day, I took the opportunity to leave a window open and unclosed.
I climbed into the room, but I didn't know what to do.
First of all, I don't know if the man will come tonight; And then there's another weird idea that's hidden in my head. That idea was so inconsistent with my scientific thinking that I compulsively pressed it to the bottom of my consciousness.
It's better to find a place to hide and wait for that person to appear.
I made up my mind and looked around looking for a place to hide.
Although it was late at night, it was not dark in the house, and nothing could be seen. As I looked around, I suddenly noticed that something seemed to be pressing under the pillow on the bed, so I took it out.
In the dim light coming in from the window, I could see that it was a picture.
The photo shows two people, very intimate, standing arm in arm by a large lake. The turquoise water ripples in the breeze, setting off the sweet smile of the girl on the right.
It's a familiar scene, and although everything is static in the photo, it caused turbulent waves in my heart.
It was the only double photo of me and Sister Xiaojie, it was taken in a polaroid photo, but I didn't expect her to keep it until now......
The pain in my heart, as the anger caused by the photo became more and more intense, I easily abandoned the famous saying that a man has tears and does not flick, threw himself on the bed and cried bitterly, completely forgetting the purpose of coming here.
It wasn't until this moment that I realized how important she was to my heart. If I like Xueying's feelings, I am crazy about Yaojie, and I am in love to the point that I don't even know it......
I was tired of crying, and I fell asleep in bed in a drowsy state.
I don't know how long later, half-asleep, half-awake, I felt something caressing my face, and as I woke up, I realized that it was a pair of delicate, smooth, soft hands with a hint of warmth.
Who is it? Whose hands? But it's so comfortable......
But the hateful thing was that my consciousness immediately reminded me that I should still be in a house that no one had lived in for a long time, and I couldn't help but feel excited, and I immediately came to my senses.
Rain...... I don't know when it stopped, but the faint moonlight poured in through the window, so that I could clearly see a woman sitting next to the bed. She was watching me deeply, helping me cover the quilt and caressing my face with her hand.
That girl turned out to be Annie, no! Wrong! I always felt that something was wrong.
Her eyes gave me a familiar feeling, so loving, so tender, it shouldn't be revealed to people who have only seen two sides.
Suddenly, an idea rushed into my head, and I sat up uncontrollably and asked in a trembling astringent voice, "You...... You're Sister Xiaojie?! β
She didn't answer, just looked at me silently, and said in a reproachful tone: "Xiaoye, if you sleep without a quilt, you will catch a cold!" β
It's her! It's Xiaojie!
Tears flowed out again. At this moment, only at this moment, reason collapsed, and I hugged her tightly in my arms without caring for anything.
"Sayo, don't do this, I'm using Annie's body, you're going to trouble her." Xiao Jie gasped and said, but she didn't mean to struggle at all.
"Nope! I don't want it! I'll never let go. "I'm categorical.
She sighed faintly.
Time passed in this silence.
"Xiaoye, get out of here and go back to China, don't worry about that thing anymore!" It was a long time before she whispered in my arms.
I was stunned, and my sanity returned.
"You know my personality and let me put down half of the puzzle? I...... Can't do it. Letting go of her, I replied after clearing my confusion.
She sighed again: "Alas, I was just afraid that you would investigate, so I made a fuss in this house after I died and drove my parents away...... I didn't expect it to backfire, but it aroused your curiosity, I'm so stupid! β
"Ahh It turned out to be you! I stared at her with my mouth wide open.
No wonder Uncle Haruka is moving, and no wonder this area is deserted, it turns out to be haunted! I'm so stupid, why didn't I think of such a simple reason in the first place!
But...... Sister Xiaojie is scary, so gentle Xiaojie...... Thinking of this, a smile appeared on my heavy face.
"Saya, what are you thinking?" Xiao Jie asked strangely.
I giggled, "I'm just wondering what my sister's demeanor is like when she's scary, and whether she'll be beautiful." β
She was stunned and smiled, but then she became melancholy again, "Listen to me and get out of here, Xiaoye." Don't be stubborn. Her resentment and anger are not something ordinary people can bear! Please don't worry about it anymore! β
I wondered, "What the hell is that?" β
Sister Xiaojie shook her head and said, "I can't say." β
I snorted and said, "I know you picked up a puppet from the abandoned church that day, and I'll find the rest of the clues myself!" β
Sister Xiaojie's whole body was shocked, and she exclaimed, "You ...... How do you know?! β
"Is it a puppet sure enough?" I secretly applauded the one I gambled on, it was a humanoid and inanimate thing, and the closest thing was a puppet, although I imagined it, but I was always unsure, but now it was confirmed in the mouth of Sister Xiaojie.
I said lightly: "Actually, I already know almost everything, so I'm about to uncover the mystery." Can you tell me the mystery? β
Sister Xiaojie was about to cry, she slowly shook her head and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I can't say it." I can't say anything about her, no...... It's that I can't even tell! β
"How so?" I asked, shocked.
Sister Xiaojie suddenly held her head in pain, she pushed me away, and said intermittently: "She has already started to act." Xiaoye, promise me to leave that town and leave with my family, as far away as possible...... Promise me ......"
The next moment, I retreated into a deathly silence with her and Annie......
"Hmph, Sister Xiaojie, no matter what that thing is, I will definitely avenge you! It's my promise to be silent! β
In my mind, this thought, which has never been dissipated, has never been stronger!
