I don't need presence or anything

Chapter 355 Fortunately, you are still working hard
There are mostly young couples near Xia Mo's house. There are not many families with children. The only one who is similar in age to his parents is the Lin family next door. According to Xia Mo's introduction, this couple seems to have a person who is about the same age as him My child, but I have been studying abroad, and I have never seen it in my impression.

"This should be ruled out first... If it exists physically, then this one..."

Lu Mingxue shook her head, "It might as well, let's investigate first."

"Forehead……"

Xia Mo stepped forward and rang the doorbell of Lin's house.

"Aunt Lin? It's me, I'm Momo."

"Ah...it's Momo? Wait a minute, I'll come down and open the door right away."

A few minutes later, the Auntie Lin whom Xia Mo was talking about opened the door, and a very gentle-looking middle-aged woman appeared in front of everyone. The other girls followed Xia Mo and said hello, Auntie.

"Momo, what can you do with me?"

"Ah, that..." Before Xia Mo could say anything, Lu Mingxue walked forward respectfully,
"It's like this, Aunt Lin, our club needs to conduct an interview survey on the lives of housewives on the street. I don't know if it's convenient for you—"

"Oh, club activities? But I remember Momo, aren't you from the Supernatural Observation Club?"

"Ah, that..."

Lu Mingxue didn't expect that Xia Mo's relationship with her neighbor's aunt was so close that she would reveal such things, but she never dealt with neighbors other than Xi Xiao, so she coughed a few times and said, "That's right, Aunt Lin... …This is a social practice that the school arranges for every club to complete.”

"So that's how it is." Aunt Lin said with a smile, "Then come in and sit down, I happen to be quite free."

"Then Auntie, we will not be polite—"

The girls entered the porch one after another, put on shoe covers, and were led to the living room by Aunt Lin.

Because it is the same house type as Xia Mo's house, everyone feels very familiar when staying at Aunt Lin's house, and they are not so formal.

"Come, let's drink tea."

"Thank you auntie."

Aunt Lin sat next to Xia Mo, "So, what do you want to talk about with an aunt like me?"

Lu Mingxue gave Xi Xiao a signal in sign language, and Xi Xiao immediately took out her notebook and pretended to be recording a talk show. Lin Boer felt that she couldn't be idle, so she turned on the recording on her phone, and Lu Mingxue hurriedly Abobo explained for the superfluous, saying that recording materials might be needed, but Aunt Lin did not refuse.

Lu Mingxue quickly entered the state of "interview". She proceeded step by step, starting with Aunt Lin's basic daily life and gradually extended to the topic of her husband and son in the United States.

"My husband and children are abroad, don't you feel lonely at home alone?"

"Of course there will be some loneliness...but there's nothing I can do about it." Aunt Lin rolled up her temple hair and said with a smile, "The child and his grandmother need to take care of their legs and feet, and they can't be taken to the United States together. We can only wait for her to get better." I'm thinking about going to the United States... However, my child still likes to live in China, so he has no plans to immigrate for the time being; maybe he will come back in a few years?"

"Eh? Auntie Lin's child... Is it the same age as me?" Xia Mo asked from the side,
Aunt Lin nodded, but she immediately showed a puzzled expression, "Eh? Have you forgotten him? You were obviously childhood sweethearts when you were young."

Green, sweetheart? !
The girls were all shocked when they heard the words, and Xia Mo was even more confused, "I, but I have no impression..."

"It's no wonder that you were still young at the time, so I don't have much impression. He was seven years old... no, it seems to be eight years old? In short, when he was very young, he went to the United States with his father to go to school. I remember Momo when you cried It's sad."

And... this kind of thing?

Xia Mo swallowed, and scratched the back of her head with a smile, "I really don't remember."

"Really..." Aunt Lin's eyes were a little lonely, "That would be a pity. Sometimes I think, if he is still here, maybe he can marry Momo in..."

"Aunt?!"

"Haha, I'm just kidding." Aunt Lin patted Xia Mo's shoulder, "His room is still there, if you don't remember it, you can go up and have a look, maybe you can remember something."

"Can you? Visit the boy's room or something..."

Aunt Lin sighed silently, "Who knows when the child will come back free... I can just keep it from him for you. This is also part of the family interview, right?"

Lu Mingxue stood up immediately, "Then thank you Auntie first."

The crowd went upstairs under Aunt Lin's guidance - Aunt Lin's child's room seemed to be separated from Xia Mo's room by two windows, but Xia Mo didn't know about it at all.

"This is his room... The room is not big, so you can go in and have a look freely. I'm busy with other things now."

Aunt Lin walked down the stairs, and there were four girls standing at the door.

"Do you... want to open it?"

"It's all here, why don't you open it." Lu Mingxue gave Xia Mo a white look, "Are you nervous?"

"I don't know... I don't know if this childhood sweetheart is the non-existent person we are looking for, and..." Xia Mo blushed and hesitated, "There must be a photo of him in the room, What if my childhood sweetheart is disabled now?!"

You're just trying to hide your nervousness...

Lu Mingxue was too lazy to complain about Xia Mo's poor acting skills.

But there are some idiots who believe in Xia Mo.

"I'm not worried," Lin Boer jumped out at this time, "Even if Momo's childhood sweetheart is ugly, I will treat him as my lover for life."

"You can't do this, Abobo! That gift doesn't mean anything, don't value my childhood sweetheart so much, okay..."

"My childhood sweetheart is not an affiliation, Momo, it's wrong for you to use [mine]."

These two are jealous again over the guy who doesn't exist.

baffling……

Lu Mingxue was about to open the door by herself, but at this time the door was slightly turned by Xi Xiao.

pat.

After the door was opened, a strong wind blew in, the girls' skirts were almost lifted up; when everyone opened their eyes, the boys' room came into view.

Desk, wardrobe, bed, coffee table, and several posters of anime characters.

Apart from the fact that the French windows were closed, which could not explain the wind, there was nothing strange about the room.

Xi Xiao walked in the front, she looked around, and then looked back at the people who entered the room one after another.

[Do you feel something is wrong? 】

Only Lu Mingxue could understand her sign language thoroughly, "Not yet."

yes……

There was a row of books on the desk, Xia Mo took out a book and flipped through it casually, a photo fell from the pages, and landed upside down on the desk.

……

It is very likely that [that person] looks like in the photo.

But shouldn't he be someone who doesn't exist?

Or, is Aunt Lin's son actually completely unrelated to the [non-existent person] we are looking for?

Xia Mo was a little nervous, but in the end she mustered up the courage to open the photo - and everyone stared at Xia Mo's opened photo with bated breath.

The photo was opened.

This is a teenager wearing glasses. In the photo, he is buried in his homework; the setting sun outside the window is shining on his black hair, which is clean, clear, clear and sunny.

It's hard to say what kind of feeling this photo gives people. If you just look at him, you will have a good impression of him, but if you put him in a group of people, it will be easy to lose sight of the crowd and you will not be able to tell them apart.

"You... how do you say?"

Xia Mo looked back at everyone, and everyone's eyes were also hesitant.

"There seems to be something written in the lower right corner of the photo, take a closer look?"

'Um. "

Xia Mo put the photo in the palm of his hand, and saw that it said,

【Lin Huan, 2018/7/13】

In other words, this is a photo he took two years ago.

He did look about the same age as Xia Mo and the others.

Other than that, though, there is nothing else.

For some reason, everyone felt a sense of loss.

"Go to another place to see if there are any clues." Lu Mingxue stopped looking at the photos, and according to the current reasoning, this person has nothing to do with that [non-existing person].

Everyone has been busy all afternoon, and they have been to many places - parks, canteens, and junior high schools, but they didn't find any sense of disobedience.

At this time, Xia Mo suddenly remembered that she used to use the woods behind her home as her secret base. She buried an iron box under a certain tree in the secret base. There might be clues about the past and memories hidden in the box. So everyone started a carpet search.

What the hell are we... doing?

Lu Mingxue couldn't understand what she was doing now.

Desperately looking for someone who no longer exists, such behavior...

If it was her normal, she might have given up a long time ago.

But she is still prowling around in the woods.

Anything, related, has something that can be called a clue.

Everyone was sweating profusely.

"It seems that there won't be any extra clues." When Lu Mingxue was deep in thought, it was when she got up, "The investigation of this supernatural event will end here...According to our reasoning, we can make this supernatural legend even more interesting." If it is detailed and complete, it should also be an eye-catching article.”

[But we haven't found him yet]

Xi Xiao panted heavily, and signed to Lin Huan in sign language, her eyes were full of inexplicable sadness and helplessness, as if she was hoping that Lu Mingxue could stay a little longer.

"It's useless to search like this again. He is a person who does not exist."

【But we know that he disappeared for someone among us】

Xi Xiao eagerly sign language.

She always cares so much about the people around her and reciprocates.

Even though it was a boy who never existed in Xi Xiao's memory, she still cared.

"This is all just our supernatural reasoning, not the real reality. This is enough."

Xi Xiao kept silent with a puffy face, and lowered her head to grope in the woods again.

And in order to find the box that is not sure whether it exists, everyone is still working hard.

"enough."

Lu Mingxue stood behind Xi Xiao, her nails were already covered with mud, and her body was also dirty and dusty.

She tried to pull Xi Xiao up, but Xi Xiao stubbornly pushed away Lu Mingxue's hand.

"That's someone who doesn't exist."

Xi Xiao shook her head, patted the dust and got up, and continued to search for other places.

"Stop lying to yourself."

Xi Xiao still didn't speak, as if she didn't hear Lu Mingxue's voice, until the moment Lu Mingxue was about to speak again, Xi Xiao opened her mouth slowly.

"It's Xiaoxue who deceived himself."

Am I, deceiving myself?
yes……

From the very beginning when she accepted this survey with such enthusiasm, Lu Mingxue should have realized that there was a big gap in her heart.

And for that gap, this ghost story is the most suitable piece of the puzzle.

Other than that, what else can I do, what can I use to fill it——

"I found it! I found it! I found it!"

The gray-faced and unkempt Xia Mo waved a small shovel in one hand and a silver box covered in dirt in the other, happily like a child of a few years old.

When Xi Xiao heard Xia Mo's call, she immediately rushed over staggeringly.

but……

Lu Mingxue leaned against the tree sadly, watching Xia Mo, Xi Xiao, and Lin Boer round up, watching them open the tin box, watching them take out a piece of pink letterhead, and watching them spread the letterhead.

Look at the expressions on their faces.

If it is really necessary to obliterate the existence of a person, that person may leave some fragmented fragments because of a bug in the code,

But definitely not—

It will definitely not be left to anyone, enough to reproduce the memory of his past existence.

on letterhead,
But it was blank.

"You... are still working hard."

"Fortunately...you are still working hard."

"Otherwise, the meaning of my existence here is—"

At this moment, a childish girl with twin ponytails appeared behind a certain tree in the woods with a gathering of light. She pursed her lips and showed a faint smile.
