"If you create a list of the order in which you get the book, it all makes sense. I explained my thoughts as I drew lines under each person's name, though the spur flash of thought was a little hard to believe, "The first to die was Dr. Blank, and the book was found in him. It is also the first appearance of this black cowhide cover of "Grimm's Fairy Tales". ”

"As far as I know, it should be so." Regia nodded, she couldn't understand what I was trying to argue.

"So you think, who is the second person to come into contact with this book?" I'm good at it.

"It was Officer Dray, who went with Dr. Blank's nurse, Ms. Crane, to Mrs. Roger's house and found the body in the cellar." Regia understood what I meant, and she was a little incredulous, "But it doesn't make sense. Usually the search was done by the police, and Ms. Crane could not have had access to the book first. But Dre died long after Ming Clan. ”

"Actually, this can be explained." I tapped my hand on the table, "After the police confirm the body, they will file the relics and then find someone who is familiar with the deceased to identify the relics." In Amber Town, I'm afraid that only Ms. Crane knows best about Blank, and the police can only look for her. So that book, Crane must have flipped through and read it. ”

"You mean, anyone who reads this book is going to be insane, as if cursed. Dead like a certain episode in the book? Regia was so surprised that she almost handed it over and cried out, "This is incredible, isn't it impossible?" ”

"You can believe that Lady Roger is a vampire, so why can't you believe that books can curse people? Moreover, Madame Roger is dead, and it is impossible to take her as a murderer anymore. She died a week ago, and the deaths of everyone after that certainly have nothing to do with her. Now, there is only one possibility. I poured a glass of water and handed it to Regia, who was trembling all over, "If you follow my theory, everything can be explained." You see, the third person who died was an unmarried woman in her forties from the police department. She managed the evidence of the case as well as the relics of the deceased, and she probably took the book out to read when she was bored on the night shift. ”

"And the fourth victim is Drey. He must have seen this black-skinned "Grimm's Fairy Tales". After all, the study of evidence is the most important part of criminal investigation. ”

"As for the fifth, according to the time relationship, it is the lawyer Klaus. The police gave him this copy of Grimm's Fairy Tales as a relic of Blank, waiting for Andrew's time. The book has always been in his hands. I don't know if he read it, but imagine that he took the book home. Unfortunately, it is very likely that his wife saw it and read the book, when the bedtime story will be read to her two children. I looked up and suddenly asked, "By the way, as far as I know, the bodies of those two children were put together for identification, and there was a result." Their deaths had nothing to do with their mothers, but with sharp knives stabbed each other in the heart while sitting opposite each other. Is this the case in the book? ”

"Yes, of course." "In the story "The Butcher's House", it is mentioned that in a butcher's house, the child saw his father killing a pig, so when he played a game, he took his brother for a pig and stabbed his younger brother in the throat. When the mother came to see this, she was very angry, so she pulled out the knife and stabbed her brother in the heart, and then hanged herself again. ”

"So far, the last victims. I'm afraid it's me! Regia didn't dare to turn the book anymore at this time, and she threw away the book of weird horror fairy tales, "My father killed my mother, and then he was going to kill me." It's exactly like in the story "The Hult Family's Daughter". The father killed his delicate mother, fearing that his poor daughter would not be taken care of, so he wanted to kill his daughter and commit suicide. ”

At this, her face darkened again, as if she wanted to cry bitterly.

Andrew listened to a series of conversations between the two of us, and became even more scared. He looked at the "Grimm's Fairy Tales" through me, "If everyone who turns the book is going to die, will we be cursed?" ”

"I don't know. Because this curse is just my guess. Whether the reason for the curse was to open the book or to read it, I don't know at all. I whispered, "But one thing is certain, many of the dead in front of me must not have the time and energy to read through this fairy tale book." So I'm more inclined to read a part of the book, and the curse is considered to be a condition of attachment. ”

"It doesn't matter if it's read or part of it, I'm cursed anyway." Regia said self-deprecatingly.

"You're alright, the curse is over. Nor did people die. Andrew cried with a sad face, "We are miserable, we have opened the book and read it." It must have been cursed too. How will I die? Damn, the beauty has never kissed, and she was cursed to death inexplicably, which is really depressing. ”

He looked up at Regia, "Why don't you let me kiss me and let me die a little quieter." ”

", say that disgusting thing again, beware of me castrating you." Regia glared at him viciously, and Andrew immediately tightened his neck in fright.

"Stop making a fuss." I sank my face, "Regia, I'm afraid you're not done yet. ”

"How so? Didn't I already experience the same plot as in the book? She asked fearfully.

"No, that can't be what happened to you. but your father's. I said slowly, "Didn't your father tell you that after reading this "Grimm's Fairy Tales", he thought that you would be taken away by his ex-wife, so he killed her, and wanted to kill you?" In other words, he is the real sixth victim. He was also the sixth person to come into contact with fairy tale books. And you're the seventh! ”

"Me! Will I ever encounter any more horrific events? Regia's face turned pale, she held her head, and roared in pain, "No! I don't want it, it's enough to encounter that kind of thing once. If you suffer another sin, you will really die! ”

"Don't be afraid, we're here. I'll figure it out, after all, it's about my own life. I comforted her and gently patted her on the back, "If the curse is a prograde way to kill people, then the seventh victim is Andrew, and the last one will be me." From the information available, curses can cause mental problems. Most of the time, that kind of mental problem affects oneself, but sometimes it also affects the people around you. ”
