horror fairy tale

By: Jun Shuiyou

Gently pushing the door open, the carved mahogany furniture piled up in the room was the same as the last time I came, but some scattered objects fell to the ground due to the earthquake just now.At the same time, on the ground close to the wall, one can see that a brick that is exactly the same as the surrounding floor pattern is placed on it with a slight offset, exposing a gap about two fingers wide.

Atobe had already asked the two maids guarding the door to join the large army outside the villa, and now the three of them slowly removed the cover to reveal the deep and dark passage below, and the steep stairs led to nowhere.

"It should be a secret room." Fuji pondered, "We ignored it when we came last time. Compared with the thick dusty furniture, the floor of this utility room seems too clean."

"We were all distracted by the photo of Adaro, presumably on purpose, we were actually deceived twice by Ono with the same trick." Yukimura took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight function to tentatively take a photo in the passage , the passage with no end in sight is terribly silent, "It's about the distance beyond the first floor. Usually, if the secret room is built underground, the entrance will be placed on the first floor. Now it's located on the second floor. It's really... a unique idea."

Atobe nodded thoughtfully. Earlier, Taocheng and the others were controlled by the police to go upstairs. Ono was able to escape smoothly after attacking Uncle and Huadi. Everything proved that her hiding place should be in this building In villas, even on the second floor or above.However, they turned the villa upside down before and found no clues. They didn't expect the truth to be just an entrance hidden on the second floor: "The location directly below the utility room should be the kitchen. Between the thickness of the wall Hiding a passage is not noticeable. Great-grandfather came to the villa to escape the war at that time, and because of the wealth of the Atobe family... it is a matter of course that there is a secret room hidden in the villa."

The three of them exchanged glances, and it was imperative to go down the secret path.It's just that this section of stairs leading to nowhere will be the answer to the dreamlike life during this period, or the danger of losing life?

"It's too dangerous, there must be someone..."

"My uncle must go down." Before Yukimura finished speaking, Atobe interrupted without hesitation.

Yukimura turned his head and looked at the firm eyes, and finally shrugged helplessly: "Okay, I will stay on top, we need to keep in touch, at least let me know that you are in a relatively safe state..." He said Yukimura looked at the time on the phone: "There are still more than 20 minutes before the arrival time of the ship that the consular steward said..."

"Let's keep talking." Atobe then took out his mobile phone, dialed Yukimura's number, and adjusted the call status to hands-free.

Yukimura nodded, took out the earphone connection, turned and walked to the door: "Then I'll wait for you at the door."

After all, it is too dangerous to stay in a room full of debris during an earthquake.

Atobe and Fuji looked at each other, time was running out.

Atobe was the first to go down the stairs. The ladder was built very steeply. Atobe almost groped the walls on both sides and moved down a little bit tentatively.A few steps behind the trailhead, turn on the flashlight function of the mobile phone to let the light beam fall from above.

In the pure darkness, the light of the mobile phone appeared so dim and scattered that the eyes could barely see two or three steps in front of them.Atobe and Fuji tried their best to keep their footsteps as light as possible without making any noise. In the silent environment, they could only faintly hear the breathing of the two of them and their own "thumping" heartbeat.

It is a lie to say that you are not afraid. Fear often comes from the unknown.It's just that every step Atobe takes is still firm, and he has the responsibility to give everyone an explanation for what happened at Atobe's house!

The straight passage had no bends, Atobe counted in his heart, and when he got down about thirty levels, he heard intermittent voices.Atobe paused, took a deep breath, and raised his hand to signal Fuji to turn off the light of the flashlight.Feeling in the dark, I went down another ten levels, and the voice became clear little by little——

"The sea area where the evening mist caresses..."

"The exchange of life and death..."

"Foam cannot carry away ashes..."

"You who made my dream brilliant..."

The soft female voice hummed this somewhat familiar sentence in a strange tone, and Atobu could already see the dim light coming from the crack in the front door.Atobe cautiously leaned against the door, and standing on the steps beside Atobe, Fuji slightly blocked the light from the phone screen with his hands, typed a few words and handed them to Atobe——

【Riji Fireplace】

Atobe's heart shuddered. There were similar sentences in the "Mermaid Chapter" of the horror fairy tale, but because of the English description, different people have different understandings after reading it.But when I really saw this sentence, it was in the fireplace where Riji's body was hung, and the words with unclear meanings were outlined in blood-red fonts, which was shocking.

After that, the hall with the fireplace was like a forbidden place, and everyone avoided it intentionally or unintentionally, pretending to forget it so that they would no longer be sad.But everything has been deeply engraved on the heart, and the wound made by the knife is dripping with blood.

Before Atobe could say anything, the female voice began to whisper softly: "Soul, it will live forever, even if the body turns to dust, it will still be alive..."

Is it a sentence from Andersen's "The Daughter of the Sea"?Bu Er tilted his head slightly in doubt and thought, and suddenly a sharp laugh crossed the eardrums: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! The soul is immortal! Obviously only you mermaids are immortal! Liar! Liar! The human soul will be wiped out as soon as it dies!" In the middle Mixed with the sound of something' bang bang bang bang' falling to the ground, "Exchange of life and death! Exchange of life and death hahahahaha! It's just a trick of your mermaids! The person I love is dead! Damn it! I've done so much! I've done so much!!!"

Then there was a sharp gasp, and the voice sounded with an unconcealable hatred: "Mermaids! Haha! Mermaids! They are all dirty and despicable guys! You tricked me in order to resurrect! Good! I don't Let you wish! Once they leave, you will never get the mermaid heart! Once the seven days are up, just wait for your soul to turn into bubbles like Andersen wrote!"

That's right, Ono!

Atobe and Fuji unconsciously held their breath, and Ono's scattered and crazy words contained too much information.There was nothing wrong with the hidden worry in my heart before, the seven days of sacrifice were not over yet.Haitang disappeared on the first day, but the body was found on the second day. The time of death has not been confirmed, so the real start of the sacrifice should be the second day that I thought, and now is the real seventh day!

The reason why they were able to contact the outside world for rescue should be the result of Ono and the mermaid parting ways.Ono probably wanted to use the power of the mermaid to revive her lover, but was deceived by the mermaid. She didn't know that the power of the mermaid could not revive a "dead" person.

While Fuji was still thinking about all this, Atobe had already taken the phone on Fuji's second-hand and typed in—【Count to three, let's rush in and subdue Ono together】.

At this time, the voice inside has turned into a gentle murmur almost like a lover's: "If I can really resurrect you, why would I be afraid to kill everyone in this villa..."

【1】

Because the door was designed to open outwards, they slowly moved to the side of the door crack.

"Whatever comes, I'll love you..."

【2】

The numbers on the screen danced rhythmically.

"just sidonow,untilidie..."

【3】

Just when Atobe and Fuji were about to rush in, a rush of piano music made the two of them subconsciously pause, and a new information reading notification popped up on the screen of Fuji's mobile phone, and Ono in the room had already shouted Said: "Who is outside!"

Atobe and Fuji had no time to discuss anything, so they could only open the door and rush into the house as quickly as possible, hoping to subdue Ono smoothly.But Ono was already prepared. Seeing them rushing in, he decisively took out the spray and sprayed it on their faces.Just when the two of them took a half step back, Ono took the burning candlestick on the table and deftly passed between the two of them, closing the door behind his back, leaving behind a series of sharp laughter. The line drifts away.

The concentration of meth in Ono's hand was not high, and he shook his head and quickly broke away from the empty mood. After losing the candlestick's flame, the environment they were in returned to darkness again. Yukimura's anxious voice came from inside: "Atobe, Fuji, how are you doing?"

"We're fine, Yukimura, Ono ran out from the exit." Atobe's voice also regained his composure in the darkness.

Hearing Yukimura's reply, Fuji flipped through the phone and shook his head with a wry smile. He had lost the signal for so long and forgot to turn the phone to silent. Unexpectedly, he made a big mess at the last moment.Atobe chased to the door, but found that the door was locked and could not be opened for a while.Only then did he have time to check the content of the text message and said: "Atobe, the news just now was sent by Tezuka. He said that they can already see the ship, and asked when we will go back to meet them."

Atobe didn't say anything yet, and was spinning and shaking all day long. Fuji and Atobe supported the things around them to stabilize their figures, and a series of messages came from the mobile phone that was still connected to Yukimura. The sound of impact and heavy objects falling to the ground, and finally I vaguely heard Yukimura's muffled groan, and Fuji said hastily: "Xingmura!? Are you okay?"

"Ahem, it's okay, I was careless, and she ran away." Yukimura coughed twice as if choked by something, "Come up quickly, the candlestick in Ono's hand lit some fabrics in the utility room I can't destroy it."

"...The door is locked from the outside." Atobe sighed, with deep helplessness in his tone.

"Then I'll come down." Yukimura replied without hesitation. The current situation could no longer allow him to delay. The sudden aftershock caught him off guard and made Ono run away. The fire ignited by the candlestick in Ono's hand and Atobe and Fuji, who were still trapped in the basement, couldn't allow him to chase after him.Yukimura went down to the secret room at the fastest speed, but fortunately Ono just roughly hung up the outer latch. After Yukimura opened the lock, Fuji and Atobe followed Yukimura and three people stumbling out in the dark. The situation seemed to be the same. Atobe had imagined it was even worse, the stairs were only halfway down, and thick smoke was pouring down, and the three of them couldn't stop coughing.

Back in the utility room, the fire was already raging. The room was piled up with sundries, fabrics and a lot of wooden furniture. Once it got out of control, it couldn't be stopped.His eyes were so smoky that he could hardly keep his eyes open. Fortunately, the room was not big, so he groped and rushed out of the room based on the sense of direction in his memory.The fire alarm in the corridor was already sounding frantically, and the water mist from the roof temporarily choked the fire, finally giving the three people a chance to breathe.

Not daring to stay longer, Fuji, Atobe and Yukimura fled the villa in a panic.The pier is located next to the auxiliary building. When turning the corner from the main building, one can see thick black smoke coming out of the auxiliary building next to it.Buer's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't have time to think about it. At this time, everyone else had already boarded the ship. The consular steward was standing at the stern, and Tezuka looked at them coldly with his hands folded beside him. Kirihara was dancing at the entrance. He waved his hand to summon them to get on board quickly.

Immediately after Fuji, who fell last, boarded the ship, the crew put away the deck, and the hull began to turn around and prepare to set sail.

Finally... It's safe...

The three of them were exhausted from running, and Atobu leaned against the cabin door to take a few breaths, and waved his hand to signal him to go in and rest.Fuji leaned on his knees and gasped for a while. At this time, the ship had already turned its back to the pier and was about to accelerate. After he calmed down and got up straight, he saw Tezuka's eyes suddenly widened, and an elbow hit the consul next to him. The belly of the butler, when the consular butler could not help but bend down, he snatched the watch that the consular butler had been wearing all the time, stepped on the side of the boat and jumped ashore with his strength, and ran towards the annex building that was already bursting with bright red flames.

"Human...mermaid heart..." The consular butler half-kneeled on the ground, clutching his stomach, and clawed forward in vain.

The crystal diamond transformed into a mermaid heart is inlaid on the watch that the consul butler never leaves!Bu Er ran to the stern of the boat. The only people who knew this secret were the consul butler and Fuji. The rest... probably only the mermaid who can sense the mermaid's heart!

It's a mermaid!

Mermaids have taken over Tezuka!

After that night, the seeds of the mermaid's delusion have been buried in Tezuka's heart!

No wonder the mermaid abandoned Ono, because she found a better chess piece!

Fuji ran to the stern, trying to jump out like Tezuka, but just as he took one foot, Yukimura grabbed his arm and said, "You're crazy!" At the moment of pause, Tezuka's figure It had disappeared into the flame-burning auxiliary building, and the flames were crackling, and the already crumbling auxiliary building finally collapsed all of a sudden.

"Now the boat has sailed more than ten meters, do you think you can still jump to the shore! What if you hit a rock or get caught in the engine!" Yukimura was much calmer than Fuji, "And you went to the shore alone It doesn’t help, let’s go to the control room now and let the ship go back! Everyone find a way to put out the fire to save lives!”

Fuji waved Yukimura's hand away, stared at him with blue eyes, took two deep breaths, turned around and staggered towards the bow on the bumpy ship.Unexpectedly, the captain, who was looking down at the route data, said coldly without raising his head after hearing Fuji's request: "I refuse."

"why!"

The captain turned around and looked at Buer sharply: "42 minutes ago, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.7 occurred in the sea not far from here. The Seismological Bureau has issued a tsunami warning. The tsunami is expected to reach us in 35 minutes. At the current position, with the ship's top speed, we can barely return to the military port for refuge before being swallowed by the tsunami."

"but……"

"We don't have time to return. I have to be responsible for the whole ship." The captain stopped talking and turned back to steer the helm with both hands.

Buer took a step up and wanted to argue again, but suddenly there was a pain in the back of his neck, and the darkness overwhelmed him, and finally he heard a faint sentence: "Let him... be quiet..."

======

"No two, no two, don't sleep!"

Who... who is calling me?

"No two, it's Nya~"

To...where...?naval port……?

Bu Er opened his eyes in a daze, and his vibrant wine-red head dangled in front of his eyes: "Fu Er Bu Er, wake up quickly, we are going to dock!"

Kikumaru?Is it a dream...?

Before Buer came back to his senses, he was dragged by Kikumaru and walked out of the cabin, and the cool sea breeze blowing head-on made him sober up a lot.

"Island! Private island!" Kikumaru cheered energetically on the side, "We're about to start camping together! I don't know what it's like to sleep together on a small island Nya~"

Co-staying...haven't started yet?

Buer unconsciously pinched himself, the pain went from the surface of the skin to the cerebral cortex, looking around, Haitang, Gan, Riji...all walked out of the cabin well and chatted in groups.

Fuji couldn't help but raised the corners of his mouth, that's great...everyone is fine...

Those succubus-like days were just an absurd dream...

Just when Bu Er was relaxing, as the boat gradually approached, the whole island was slowly and clearly brand new in front of everyone's eyes.Beside the pier is an old wooden auxiliary building, and the corner used to be a magnificent main villa.The butler and the maids stood on both sides of the pier to welcome them. Behind the butler, stood an extremely familiar figure——

Early Ono!

Are there puppets dancing on that island?
