As soon as I looked up, I saw familiar faces in the mirror.

I recalled it for a while, and then I remembered that this was a staff member in the crew's props team, called Takahashi or something......

Before I could remember the man's name, someone knocked on the door and shouted, "Takahashi, are you okay?" ”

"Oh, here we are." Takahashi grabbed the towel hanging around his neck and reached out to turn off the faucet while wiping his face.

Crunch crunch......

The old faucet was tightened and the flow of water was gone.

Takahashi went to get the toothbrush and toothpaste from the washbasin.

Tick, tick...... Tick......

Clear water flowed from the faucet.

"Huh?" Takahashi took a look, let go of his grip on the towel, and went to turn the faucet again.

The faucet was tightened, but the water kept coming out.

The yin energy in the water wafts through the cramped lavatory.

Whoa......

Takahashi turned the faucet on and off again, and there was still a small stream of water flowing down.

Knock knock!

Someone outside is knocking on the door again.

Takahashi could only choose to give up and opened the door, "The faucet seems to be broken." ”

The person outside took a look at it, "Let's talk to the people of the Shimada family later." I don't know if there are any repairmen in this place. ”

"You can't come here if you have, can you? I heard that it snowed heavily in the morning, and the roads were frozen. Takahashi walked out and passed by the man.

There was still a queue outside.

"Broken faucet?"

"Is it frozen?"

"I don't know. I'm going to talk to someone. Takahashi said as he walked outside.

Boom.

The man who had just entered the bathroom closed the door.

I wanted to stay in the bathroom, but I was pulled by Takahashi and floated out.

Boom!

There was a loud bang, as if something had hit the door.

"What's wrong, Ono?"

Boom! Bang bang! Boom!

Takahashi stood beside the crowd in line, just looking back at the bathroom door that kept making noises.

The people lining up next door and washing in the bathroom all looked over.

"Hey, Ono! Ono! ”

The man in the first line slammed the door twice and twisted the doorknob.

The door was unlocked, but the door was only opened by a crack before Ono slammed the door again.

"Hey! What are you doing! ”

"What's wrong?"

"It can't be some sudden illness, right?"

The crowd gathered at the door.

Takahashi also followed the crowd and walked a few steps forward.

A few steps away, my body floated into the door, through the wooden door that blocked my view.

In the bathroom, Ono's head is buried in the washbasin. His body struggled, his limbs flailing wildly, and the only thing that was immobilized was his head.

The washbasin is filled with water, and the faucet is still flowing with new clear water.

But the smell of fish in the house was strong, and even more so was the yin qi that permeated the room.

Ono's head is flooded. Water trickled down the back of his head, splashing in all directions.

His struggles were futile and he gradually became weak.

Boom!

The man outside the door slammed the door open, hitting Ono's feet. His feet were pushed and moved a few points. His hands hung at his sides, and his whole body seemed to be hanging from a pool.

Tick......

The overflowing water fell on the tiles and made a sound similar to that of musical instruments.

"Ono! Ono!! ”

"Hey!"

"What are you kidding......?"

The man who rushed in stumbled and almost fell on top of Ono.

They reached out and grabbed Ono.

Ono's body suddenly loosened. The head was pulled out of the pool and seemed to hit the faucet, bleeding a few drops of blood.

Whoa...... Gollum......

It was as if the plug had been removed, and the water in the pool flowed down the drain at once. There was also a brief whirlpool in the pool.

When the water flows clean, the water in the faucet also becomes smaller, and eventually becomes a slow dripping droplet.

Tick, tick......

Tick......

Drip...... Answer......

The last drop of water stopped.

The men looked at Ono lying on the ground, at his pale, swollen face and blank eyes, and couldn't make a sound.

The unseen people shouted in the outer circle, not knowing what was going on here.

"Dead ...... Dead! Dead man—"

"Ahhhhh

"Murder! Killed! ”

A panicked shout rang out, and the people around him were completely confused.

Takahashi was hit by someone and took a few steps back, only to follow the commotion of the crowd and retreat helplessly.

He didn't understand what was going on, but a sense of fear came over him, sending chills all over his body. It was as if the cold tap water was still on the face, not drying, and as the water evaporated, it took away all the heat from the body.

Takahashi lost his mind for a long time until he was pushed by the leader of the props team.

"What the hell is going on!" The leader of the props team angrily asked, "What did you kid do!" ”

"I didn't. I didn't ...... anything," Takahashi said weakly.

"Alright, don't worry." The director is forced to calm down.

In this room sits the head of the crew. The producer didn't follow, and the director was the one with the highest status.

"Takahashi, did you see anything in the bathroom? Is there anything strange about it? Ono: Did he do anything strange? The director asked patiently.

Takahashi Muran shook his head, thought about it, and said, "Faucet...... That faucet was broken. After closing, it is still flowing. ”

"It's not about you like that!" The leader of the props team said irritably.

"Don't rush. Say whatever comes to mind. The director persuaded.

The main screenwriter of the crew interjected: "Otsuka, this is not a sitcom, nor is it a crime-solving game. This kind of thing, after calling the police, let the police deal with it. Now, everyone should be allowed to stay in the room and stop going alone. ”

"What do you mean?" The props team leader's eyebrows were raised, "You think this is murder?" That's the ...... accident."

"Two people will die in succession in an accident? The others also said that there was no plug in the washbasin, and Ono's entire head was stuffed in the pool, blocking the pool. Ono still struggled before he died. Do you want to say that this is a prank on him, trying to see if his head is big enough to 'accidentally' kill himself? "Not to be outdone, the screenwriter is not to be outdone.

What the props team leader wants to say.

The director stopped the leader of the props team and looked at Takahashi, "Takahashi, what do you think?" ”

Takahashi's body trembled slightly.

"Takahashi." The leader of the props group shouted.

"It's me...... It's me! Takahashi blurted out, not looking at the other people's weird faces, "Almost, I was the one who died...... The one who died was almost my ......"

The people around him stopped talking.

"Takahashi," the director sighed, "don't think about it so much, let's go back and rest first." When the police come, they will ask you questions. Take a break. ”

Takahashi was reluctant to give up and was pulled out.

There was someone outside the door who was about to come in, and it was the son of the Shimada family, that Shimada Hikaru. He looked solemn, as if he had something important to say.

The paper door was closed, but there was still a sound coming out.

I moved and floated through the door.

“…… Director, is there no way for the police to go up the mountain now? Such heavy snowfall, my mother said that the road was impassable for a few hours. If it snows again, we'll be stuck here forever. ”

"Are there any other contingencies in place? How did you solve this kind of thing before? ”

"My mother said she had only experienced a similar situation once a few decades ago. At that time, the snow closed the mountains for a whole ......."

My body was pulled out and I didn't hear the second half of what Hikaru Shimada said.

Good night everyone~
