horror fairy tale

By: Guo Yao 9

The sunset by the sea is unique.

The bleak dark blue sky is hidden by the deep blue sea water, and the blood-red setting sun is slowly falling, pulling out unbroken strips of red blood, and the ends are tied to the line where the water and the sky meet, as if to dye the boundless sea. red.

Legend has it that the time of dusk is the time when demons, ghosts and humans coexist.That is, the time of the devil.

Looking at the patches of color in front of him, and the large expanse of blood red spreading in his field of vision, in a trance, he thought that something was rushing towards him with its bloody mouth wide open.

He rubbed his hands, lamenting how cold it was.

These days I have been feeling very depressed, so I went for a walk by the beach at dusk.Unexpectedly, the mood is even heavier now.

When Buer looked down at his watch, he saw a fish skimming from the surface of the sea in an illusion, with a vaguely beautiful human silhouette on his face.After a while, the picture disappeared too quickly, but it still surprised Fuji for a moment.

He took another look at the sea water that was rushing towards him wave after wave—even though he was far away, he felt that the cold sea water had reached his neck.The blue eyes were exposed to the air, and the smile on Fuji's face disappeared completely.

"Whether you are a human or a ghost, I will never allow you to hurt my friend again!" Fuer, who had made up his mind, suddenly ran back with all his strength, a sense of urgency and anxiety for no reason urged him to hurry up and come back again. faster.

After entering the door, I met Tezuka who was also in a hurry, and my heart sank slowly.

【Sure enough, what happened again】

This time the person who had the accident was Echizen.It was only after arriving at the destination that Buer had this consciousness faintly.Taking a deep breath, he greeted Momoshiro, Atobe, Tezuka, and Oishi slightly before looking at the person on the bed.

The young man's dark green hair was slightly messy, and his forehead was bruised. It looked like his forehead had been hit, and there was a faint dark blue around his closed eyes—it seemed that Echizen suffered from insomnia last night.

Fuji glanced at Taocheng, who seemed to have finally calmed down, and turned his gaze to Atobe again: "How is Echizen?"

"It may be that the impact caused the coma. Liu looked at it, and it seems that he inhaled some gas, and he can't wake up now. So far, he hasn't found out the reason."

Fuji didn't ask any more, his brows were deeply frowned, his eyes seemed to be looking at Atobe, and he seemed to be stuck in the air: "Atobe-kun, what else happened?" ——Before entering Echizen's room, Fuji heard someone Discuss the butler passed away.

"...Come with me." Atobe looked at Fuji's face whose smile had long since disappeared, and sighed softly.

Tezuka, who never spoke, also followed behind them.Along the way, tentacles of silence penetrate every molecule in the air.

In the storage room of the annex building, the light is very dark. Although there are not many things in it, it gives people a feeling of cramped space, thin air, and breathlessness.Nodding to Shinobu, Yukimura, Sanada, Yanagi Renji, and Yagyu, he looked down at the ground. "I have already persuaded everyone else to go back to rest, and these few insisted on staying." Ninzu whispered to Atobu.

The site is well preserved.

The people on earth are stewards.

Mr. Maeno, the housekeeper who helped him in the morning.

The butler frowned tightly, and he was covering his heart with his right hand. There was no trace of blood at the scene.There was an empty phial beside the butler.

"Which bottle is it?" Buer's eyes met Liu Lian'er.

"Nitroglycerin."

"Nitroglycerin...heart attack?"

"As you can imagine, he died of a heart attack."

"What else is there?"

As soon as this question was uttered, I saw Liu opened his eyes, and his sharp gaze pierced the air—however, all he heard was: "Temporarily, the data is missing."

Fuji once again looked around the entire storage room - the desk, the cabinet, no dust, the whole room is too clean... It's not like a storage room, but it seems to be used as a room by someone... Fuji remembered When I came to the annex building for the first time, I saw the floral umbrella at the door of this storage room, and I always wanted to take a look, but too many things happened one after another, and it was delayed until now...

Did I miss something important...

"It's not clear whether Mr. Butler's heart attack was accidental or man-made. But Fuji, I was concerned about something when I found Echizen." Yukimura called Fuji, took out his mobile phone, and zoomed in on the photo, "Listen Many people ran out of the call to Taocheng. When Kawamura wanted to take Echizen back to the room first, I found that Echizen was holding a rock in his hand... Later, I found this mark on the ground, probably fell in Echizen position of the hand."

Bu Er retracted his thoughts, and fixed his eyes on the messy ground where the photo was taken, and white scratches made by hard objects could be vaguely seen: "7?"

"7." Liu suddenly said, "No matter in Eastern or Western legends, 7 is a very special number. In the West, the seven deadly sins and the seven heavens... the East thinks that seven is the fusion of yin and yang and the five elements. It is a perfect number. The state of 'harmony' also has the theory of three souls and seven souls."

"Then '7'..." Liu Sheng asked.

"There is too little data to judge." Liu Ping said

After hearing this answer, several people were silent, and the rare clue was cut off again.

"What is this?" Fuji felt his feet hurt, he took his feet away and found a key lying on the ground.There is a unique notch on the edge of the round hole of the key, which runs through the bottom of the whole key, but does not reach the tip of the key, which presumably does not affect the unlocking.It was the one that Fuji lost.

"Atobe-kun, look at this." Yagyu picked up a cigarette butt from the ground and handed it to Atobe.

"This kind of cigarette... I have seen someone smoke it." Sanada, who had been silent at the beginning, finally spoke, "Atobe-kun, the consul butler is a very elegant gentleman."

Atobe took the handkerchief wrapped in cigarette butts with trembling hands, his face became more solemn.

[This kind of smoke is indeed my uncle's favorite. 】

"Today... what's going on, who can tell me?" Seeing Liu Sheng studying the key back and forth, Fuji finally couldn't help asking.

"At 28:[-]:[-], Takeshi Momoshiro found the unconscious Echizen-kun next to the ruins of the auxiliary building. As far as we know, no one witnessed the specific situation at that time. Preliminary judgment, from the time Echizen-kun was unconscious to being discovered, It shouldn't take more than half an hour." Liu looked at Bu Er and closed the notebook in his hand.

"The butler's body was discovered by Ono Saki. The time of discovery was 49:[-], not long after Echizen-kun was discovered."

"Jing Wu."

This sound really scared Atobe, he turned his head stiffly, "Uncle."

The young men were not talkative people, and they only slightly saluted the elder.Atobe Sata glanced deeply at the teenagers, and turned his gaze back to Atobe again, "King Wu, take your friends back to rest, just leave these things to me."

"uncle……"

"Go back!" The middle-aged man's voice was not so harsh, but several people felt an irresistible sense of oppression coming to their faces, and even Sanada's forehead was dripping with sweat.

"Let's go." Atobe didn't say anything, and glanced at the other boys.

When Atobe passed in front of the Consul Butler, he vaguely heard the very soft voice of this respected elder: "There is one more... There will be another... Jingwu, you must be well."

Atobe turned around in surprise, the consular butler still had a grim expression on his face, as if he hadn't said anything.

In just one afternoon, Mr. Housekeeper died and Echizen was unconscious.

The shadow of death hangs over again.

Everyone was not in the mood to enjoy dinner, and in the silent restaurant, everyone was just chewing the exquisite meals prepared by the Atobe family mechanically like chewing wax.

Like a group of confused and helpless little beasts, they just want to get together to keep each other warm.

"Liu." Fuer put down his chopsticks and said, "I want to know the specific situation of Echizen?"

"Based on the trauma, it is judged that the brain has been hit. Physical damage has a certain chance of causing coma. At the same time, drugs like LSD mainly act on the central nervous system. Excessive ingestion can cause central nervous system damage and cause coma." Liu Yao Shaking his head, "Currently there is not enough data to make a further diagnosis of Echizen, but Taocheng said that when he just discovered Echizen, he smelled a very faint, strange aroma."

"Is that so..." Fuji sighed softly, turned to look at Atobe, "Atobe, wait in the study, I have some questions..."

"Fuji, Atobe." Tezuka, who had been silent for a long time, said coldly, "I also found some problems."

"Then let's go together." Atobe stood up, his eyes fell on Yukimura who had been frowning, "Yukimura you?"

"Well, let's go." Yukimura looked at the people sitting in the restaurant when he got up, "No one can predict what will happen next, everyone should try to stay together in groups of two or three and don't act alone anymore, it's considered... ...a way to increase security."

It's just that no one can tell whether being together can be truly safe.

When Jiro disappeared, everyone also went together, but Hiyoshi and Kuwahara were still lost.

=====

The group of four went to the study room, they pressed the mechanism to bring up the dark cabinet, and took out a copy of "Nordic Fairy Tales" and opened it. It was still an incomplete copy with only the mermaid chapter.Buer spread the books on the desk, and the last text described that the prince cheated the mermaid witch's heart in order to save his beloved.

Before Fuji could say anything, Tezuka has already said hastily: "Atobe-kun, is the maid Ono Saki the maid of your family?"

"No, I also met Ono after I came to this island, not from my family." Atobe replied with some doubts. After all, this island is only used by the Atobe family occasionally on vacation. There are not many resident staff, and they are basically dispatched from the main house when the owner needs to use it.

"There is a problem with that maid." Tezuka pushed his glasses, "In the afternoon, Dashi and I continued to search the remaining files and found nothing, and then re-checked the tampered file, except for the consular housekeeper. In addition, the above also registered the information of several maids stationed on the island, including Ono-san who came to the island a year ago. Later, I asked several maids stationed on the island, and they said that Ono was actually a month ago... just the trace Not long after you decided to invite us to this island to sleep together, you were brought to this island by the housekeeper." Tezuka said, his brows became tangled, "I also asked the maids from our house, and they all said that they didn't know Ono ... Now, I am afraid that only the housekeeper knows about Ono's origin, but the housekeeper..."

Already dead without proof.

Atobe slammed his fist on the table: "My uncle will send someone to control her now! How dare you!"

Tezuka put his hand on Atobe's shoulder and shook his head: "I didn't say it in the restaurant. First, I was afraid of causing panic among everyone. Second, I was afraid that if the restaurant had monitoring equipment, we would not be able to guarantee the confidentiality of our conversation. Third, we would eventually It’s just a suspicion, even if she is the real murderer, we don’t know much about her motives and methods, whether she has accomplices or not, if we start to scare the snake, I’m afraid..."

"If that's the case, Ono is so smart." Yukimura sighed, "We knew that there was a problem with that file, so she showed us the problem, pointing the suspicion to the consular steward, and tearing it up Two pages, let's think the dossier has something 'missing' rather than 'more'..."

Standing on both sides of "Nordic Fairy Tale", he raised his head and looked at the other three people: "Atobe, can the consular steward be trusted?"

"Of course this..." Atobe opened his mouth without hesitation, but the words after the two words just said seemed to be blocked by something in his throat, and finally he just said in a deep voice, "I don't know..." Uncle watched him grow up, but he still kept a concealed attitude on this matter, like a thorn in his heart that couldn't go away.

Fuji did not continue to ask, but asked, "Atobe, I have never asked, what kind of feeling did you feel when you were deceived and walked up to the rooftop?"

"Feel?" Atobe pressed his index finger on the center of his brow and thought for a moment, "I can't remember clearly at the beginning. At that time, my uncle should have just taken a bath, and then for a moment, it seemed that the senses were taken away from reality..."

...water...dark...deep...boundless water...

"Then in a white void, the colorful colors suddenly exploded, forming an extremely gorgeous world..."

...cold...futile struggle...endless water poured in from mouth and nose...

"It seems that I saw a figure calling my name and leading me all the way to the room where the auxiliary building has not yet collapsed. I was tempted to keep moving forward, even if I stepped into the abyss without knowing it..."

...save...who...who...help me...

"No two? No two? No two, what's wrong with you?"

As if suddenly awakened, Fuji pushed away the worrying Yukimura who was calling his name, and rushed out of the room.

Who, who is... calling for help?

Bu Er has no time to think about it, now everyone can no longer bear any loss, so they can only try their best to run out of this villa in the direction guided by instinct.

Atobe and the others chased after a few beats later, and the small movement woke up many people who were also awake at night.

When the three of Atobe chased to the beach outside the gate of the villa, they saw Fuji half-kneeling on the ground doing CPR for Ninzu, who was lying wet on the beach.

"God, it's Renzu!" The crowd chasing after seeing the situation became quiet in an instant, as if they didn't even dare to breathe, and stared intently at the two people not far away.

At the same time, there was the consular butler standing behind everyone with his lips tightly pursed, staring at the umbrella and clogs faintly visible in the shadow of the reef in the distance with a gloomy expression on his face.
