[Master K] The bad one next door

After seeing the person in the photo clearly, her eyes widened in disbelief, her mind went blank, and her trembling fingers could hardly pinch the photo.

The background is the Samsara dessert shop she went to with May Tian.At the seat by the window where they sat, the father in a suit and leather shoes smiled tenderly and pampered him like never before, and his cool black hair mixed with one or two silver strands was smudged in the afternoon sunshine. Warm glow.

His big hand was tightly intertwined with the ten fingers of a delicate white hand, and the neatly manicured nails shone dazzlingly in the reflection.

The owner of the hand was another gentle woman she had never seen before.

The happiness and sweetness in the strange woman's eyes deeply hurt her eyeballs.

In the empty and quiet room, she silently stared at the two people in the photo, her eyes gradually turned sour, and soon her eyes were blurred.She resisted the urge to cry, bit her lower lip tightly, and tightly clenched the thin plastic photo with her fingers.

She thought, that's how my mother felt at that time.

Being betrayed so easily, the sadness is almost suffocating.

"...When I saw Yazawa-san in the morning, I couldn't help thinking: 'Has smoky makeup become popular again this year?' It turned out to be dark circles..."

--Eh?

Hearing his name suddenly, Mami was stunned for a moment, and suddenly woke up from the state of daze.With her chin propped up, she hesitantly moved her dull eyes away from the blackboard in front of the classroom, looked at a few girls not far away who were chatting enthusiastically, and asked hesitantly, "What's wrong with me?"

The girls turned their heads and looked at her in surprise, as if they had just discovered her existence.The girl who mentioned her before quickly waved her hand and smiled awkwardly: "It's nothing, we just mentioned you when we were talking about cosmetics, please don't pay attention—ah, having said that." The girl tilted her head and pointed her finger at herself Under the eyes, "Yazawa-san didn't sleep well last night? There are heavy dark circles under your eyes."

This..." Zhenya didn't know how to answer for a moment. She was stunned for a while, and smiled: "It's just that I drank too much milk tea before going to bed, and I'll be fine tomorrow. "

"Really?" The girl glanced at her a few times, but couldn't help but give a kind reminder, "Don't do this kind of thing in the future, let alone know that you have to go to school the next day, and often suffer from insomnia but it's easy to make you sleepy." A young girl in bloom ages quickly."

"Okay, thank you for your concern."

After that, the girl stopped talking to her, and continued to turn her head to chat with her friends. After a while, she spoke happily, and they burst into laughter from time to time.Mami looked down at the untouched homework book spread out on the table, moved the finger holding the pen, but still couldn't arouse any interest in doing homework, so she simply put down the pen, turned her head and looked out the window in a daze.

The coldest winter solstice of the year has passed, and the weather is gradually warming up. A few birds flying back from the south can already be seen among the branches where the snow has melted.Large cotton candy-like clouds float leisurely in the blue sky. Looking around, the cold snow-white streets a few days ago have turned into gray-white mixed with sporadic greenery.

It shouldn't be long before the classroom will be filled with the faint fragrance of lilacs.

Thinking of this, she felt a sense of loss in her heart.

At that time, I don't know if she will still have the opportunity to appreciate the vibrant spring.

"By the way, Yazawa-san!" The brisk voice of the girl earlier pulled Mami out of his contemplation, "Have Yazawa-san heard of Kisaragi Station?"

"Eh?"

Mami was stunned for a moment, then turned to meet the girl's bright eyes.She thought for a while, shook her head, and said puzzledly, "I've never heard of this name. There shouldn't be a station called 'Kasaragi' in Japan."

"BINGO!" The girl smiled, stretched out her right hand and snapped her fingers loudly, "It's normal if you don't know, after all Kisaragi Station is a legendary place known as 'another parallel space'."

……legend?

"Ah, I remembered it when you said that!" A friend of the girl seemed to have thought of something, showing a sudden realization expression, and then said enthusiastically, "That's it! That ghost station that is very famous on 2ch urban legend!"

2ch is a relatively popular chat platform in Japan. Shinya has also registered an account, but he doesn't log in very often to brush posts, so he knows little about some news on the Internet.Even so, it is not uncommon for her to have heard of some urban legends before, such as the school stairs one step above midnight, the tearing mannequin in the art classroom, the skeleton hand protruding from the pond, and the bloody girl at three o'clock in the middle of the night. Sinks... and so on, but this was the first time she had heard the name Kisaragi Station.

Another girl with long curly hair couldn't help urging: "It doesn't matter what 'kisaragi station' or 'ghost station', you should hurry up and talk about it in detail! Stirring people's appetite is a very bad habit!"

The girl who spoke first looked around and enjoyed the eager eyes of people around her who were full of curiosity for a while, and then said quietly with satisfaction:

"This is an incident that happened in 2004. The protagonist is a man named Lianshi - of course there are also sayings that Lianshi is a girl, but because of the various discussions, we will call Lianshi here for the time being. 'he'."

The girl paused, and deliberately lowered her voice, trying to create a mysterious atmosphere.

"One day in 2004, a man named Lianshi got on a tram at 11:20 p.m. After driving for nearly 2 minutes, he left a message on 7ch in doubt, saying that the bus usually only takes 8 or 12 minutes to go. It will stop, but today it has not stopped. Some netizens suggested to go to the conductor's room to ask, but Lianshi did not get a response from the conductor. After passing through an unfamiliar tunnel, the train stopped at [-] o'clock in the morning 'きさらぎ駅'—that is, our Kisaragi station."

"It was a station he had never heard of, but in this case he had no choice but to get off the bus. After getting off the bus, Lianshi found that not only was there no one in the station, but the outside was also empty after exiting the station. He couldn't find the location even after searching his mobile phone. He asked his family for help in confusion, hoping to call the police for help, but it was treated as a prank call by the police."

"—Because there is no such station as 'きさらぎ駅' at all."

really.

No wonder, after all, if it can be found out with the power of the police, Kisaragi Station is not worthy of being called "a ghost station that exists in a different time and space".

Just when Mami was thinking this way, the girl continued:

"As the time got later and later, Lianshi continued to chat with netizens on 2ch. He left a message at 2 a.m. saying that there was the sound of bells and taiko drums nearby, and a man with legs appeared. He suddenly disappeared after saying a word, as if he had never appeared before..."

"Wait," a female student next to me couldn't help interjecting, "I remember that bells and taiko drums seem to be music for sacrifices?"

"That's right." The girl nodded with a serious face, "The netizens felt that something was wrong and told him to leave the station quickly. At this time, the sound of the bell and the drum was getting closer, and he felt a little creepy, so he hurried along He walked out through the tunnel. After he walked out of the tunnel, he finally met another person who kindly offered to give him a free ride along the way."

The girl with long curly hair snorted disdainfully: "This person is very problematic at first glance, okay, who would appear in such an inexplicable unmanned station at midnight?"

"...After Lianshi said this on 2ch, netizens dissuaded him one after another, thinking that he should think clearly before getting in the car, but Lianshi, who was eager to go home, ignored the netizens' stop and got into the stranger's car. And left a last post on 2ch. He said—”

"'The driver drove the car up the hill, and it didn't look like there was a parking lot. The battery of the phone was almost dead, and it didn't look right. I was going to find a chance to escape, and the man was muttering from the beginning Talking to myself about something inexplicable, I have a bad feeling. Just in case, this is my last message.'”

The girl with long curly hair waited for a long time but didn't wait for the next article, so she couldn't help urging: "And then? What happened to Lianshi later?"

The girl took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "No one knows what happened afterwards, after all, it happened across a network. But after this——"

"—Lian Shi never posted on 2ch again!"

After the voice fell, the classroom fell into silence.

After a long while, a classmate touched his arm full of goosebumps in fear, still lingering in fear: "Hey, how do you say it's true, isn't it so evil? Is this Lianshi really dead?"

Many people present looked stiff, obviously frightened by this story.Mami smiled, and spoke half-jokingly, trying to ease the overly dignified atmosphere: "Speaking of which, I just took the tram home, why don't I take the bus instead today, lest someone who accidentally ran into that ghostly shadow would be unlucky?" There is no Kisaragi station."

——That being said.

After school, Shinya still habitually left the school gate and turned right, and entered the tram stop.

She found a place near the door and sat down, put her schoolbag on her lap, took out the terminal from the outermost layer of her schoolbag, put on the earphones and started listening to music.Like her, many young people in the carriage began to bow their heads and play with the terminal as soon as they got on the train. When the tram started, she glanced at the gradually moving scenery of Zhenmuzhong Station outside the window, and flicked her fingers across the screen. I remembered the legend about "Kisaragi Station" that I heard during class break.

In fact, she treated the fabled station with contempt.

Urban legends are just urban legends after all, even if the person named Lianshi really posted such a post, no one would know whether it is true or not across a network.There are often people on this kind of forum who make up some weird stories, trying to use it as a gimmick to get people's attention. It has been handed down year by year, and finally became the so-called "legend".

After listening to the nursery rhyme for a while, Maki gradually began to feel sleepy, and the dazzling fluorescent lights on the top of the carriage also became somewhat blurred in his sight.She rubbed her eyes, trying to wake herself up, but her sleepiness became more and more intense.

She hasn't slept well since last night. She tossed and turned in bed until morning, so that she was drowsy during class and was called by the teacher several times.In the current situation where she obviously shouldn't relax, her tired mind started clamoring for a good rest instead.

The strange thing was that she couldn't even think of resisting at all.

"So sleepy..." she muttered, her eyelids drooping a little.

Anyway, there are still a few stops to arrive, so let's take a little sleep.

Maya tried hard to maintain the last bit of consciousness, dazedly set the alarm clock on the terminal 10 minutes later, then lowered his head, leaned on the chair and fell asleep.

<<<<<

After an unknown amount of time, a piercing ringtone dragged her out of the quagmire of dreamland.

The ringing of the bell in the silent space made her eardrums ache, and it persistently echoed over and over again, as if she didn't know what was boring.She frowned, barely opened her eyes, and her goal was the brightly lit interior of the tram, and the light on the top of the car made her squint her eyes uncontrollably.

The terminal on the seat next to him was still buzzing tirelessly.Maya tried her best to reach out and grab it, her fingers feebly swipe the screen to turn off the ringtone, her head was still like a muddy paste.

Now... what is the situation?

She was stunned for a while, then suddenly realized something.

"Oops! Time..." She straightened up abruptly, looking down at the terminal screen in a panic.The conspicuous 8:45 on the screen seems to be blatantly mocking her for falling asleep regardless of location.

——Even if her house doesn't have access control time, the current situation has obviously touched the bottom line of the family!Don't be too tired of this situation!

Mami hurriedly looked out of the car window, the platform in the dark night was completely different from what she was familiar with.After being stunned for a while, she lowered her head dejectedly, couldn't help holding her forehead weakly, and sighed deeply, wanting to cry without tears.

If I had known that she would not be greedy for that short rest time, otherwise it would not be like this, not only the time is late, but also unlucky to miss the stop.

"I just said why it's so quiet, so it's already this time..."

The mumbling voice stopped abruptly when the master realized something.

——No, this seems to be a little too quiet.

There was no sound, not even the sound of breathing, as if she was the only one left in the whole tram.Mami raised her head stiffly, only to find that there was no one in the carriage.

A bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart.

Pursing her lips, she mustered up the courage to look out the window.There is no one at the station under the night, and the whole station is silent. The shadow on the wall grows a little bit with the movement of the light source, and only the moonlight shines coldly, leaving no sound.

Anxiety began to grow and spread in her heart.She was stunned for a while, took a deep breath, put her schoolbag on her back, stuffed the terminal into her pocket, gritted her teeth and walked out of the car door.

After getting out of the car, she felt the unusual coldness in the air.

Mami stood in a daze for a while before looking around the entire station.

There seemed to be a stop sign standing in the shadows on the edge of the platform, but it was too far away for her to see clearly.She subconsciously walked quickly in that direction, not noticing that her dark shadow transformed into various strange shapes under the moonlight.

She didn't stop until she reached the platform.

Raising her head, she held her breath suddenly as she handed over the familiar and unfamiliar names flashing under the moonlight——

——"きさらぎ駅".Kisaragi station.

Maiya stood there in a daze, almost forgetting the situation she was in for a moment, her almost blank mind was filled with the ominous name "Kisaragi Station".

After she finally woke up, a gust of cold night wind blew over, and she couldn't help shivering to the bone.

This joke...it's a bit big.
