I'm on the scramble

No matter how shocked Dun's heart was, the voice below could not be accurately transmitted to the ears of the girl who was slashing with the knife.She was only a wrong body, and the golden knife shadow pierced deeply into one of the ghost's arms.

"My favorite knife is named "Yangsha", is it a very appropriate name? "A Li, who stabbed the knife, said so happily.

At the same time, countless fine golden lights splashed out from the wound in that huge body in an instant, like a heron in the galaxy, illuminating her vigorous smiling face, flying hair, and the entire deep night sky.

The ghost with a feminine figure can only be vaguely recognized, screaming in pain from the injury, and the huge body swayed unintentionally, violently sweeping away the broken building materials blocking the surrounding area.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the battle, the police officers and college students in the mansion quickly left the dangerous area under the orderly dismissal arrangement.All the surviving members came to the wilderness around the house, raised their heads high, and with their own eyes, deeply recorded in their minds the scenes that surpassed reality that appeared in front of them that night.

Under the distant night, behind the female ghost, the snow-white corpse arms like lotus root stretched out, and the thick arms, which can only be completely encircled by several grown men, were infused with tremendous strength. It seemed slow, but in fact it was too fast to guard against. The speed goes up one attack.

Undoubtedly, if one truly endured this attack, no matter how strong one's body was, it would collapse.

The petite figure of the knife-wielding girl is like an inconspicuous grain of sand in front of the huge shadow of death, but her actions are unwavering and she walks directly on the shadow!

In the thick wind and waves, Ah Li's figure bounced towards the sky along with the incoming force, like a butterfly being gently waved away.But in the next moment, he spun around for a full circle, turned around and chopped off the female ghost's dead arm with lightning speed.

With his backhand, he inserted the knife into the upper skin, turned over and jumped onto the giant.She put away the knife, stepped on the remaining severed arm without looking back, and walked quickly on the narrow road leading to the female ghost's vital point. The hands controlled by the female ghost kept attacking her, as if she wanted to Crush this small figure into pieces.

But she turned a blind eye to everything and skillfully waved the weapon in her hand.

One knife, two knives, three knives...

Countless graceful arcs of light suddenly bloomed from her hands, and the icy glow burst out with murderous intent, cutting off the arm of the monster in front of her.

Arms chopped off by the blade kept flying in the air, transitioning into a large illusory light butterfly, lingering around the girl's body and disappearing. She just shuttled in the river composed of butterflies like walking in a golden light. Bright channel.

"Sleep peacefully with all your sins."

Accompanied by a clear scolding, a certain snow blade that reflected the pattern of shattered dark light swung down heavily, leaving a deep knife mark on the female ghost's neck.

The final boss, who was several stories tall, covered his neck, and burst out countless golden lights with a 'boom' sound as if he couldn't maintain his body structure.

The previously extremely large body shrank rapidly, and the black image that shrunk back to its original shape fell into the pile of light leaves, splashed the chaotic leaves, and then penetrated the bottom of this unbearable light, until He fell straight into the hole in the mansion, and his life and death were uncertain.

"Miss Rubble, skirt! Skirt!"

As soon as Ah Li landed on the roof, Dun who immediately came over to greet her blushed and straightened her skirt that had been turned up accidentally.He looked at Ah Li's face and hesitated to speak, as if he wanted to complain about Cai Cai's ability name for a moment, but finally he endured it and asked about her condition.

"You're not hurt are you?"

"I'm fine, how are you?" Obediently letting the bag-carrying boy take care of him, Ah Li then put his knife back into its sheath, put his favorite knife back on his shoulder and shook his head at him.The still steady breathing clearly revealed the fact that she was able to do a job with ease.

In contrast, Dun was much more disheveled and embarrassed, because he was covered with a lot of dust after falling down.

And he also waved his head to express that he was thick-skinned and not injured, but after speaking, he couldn't help looking down the hole with worried eyes.

"That enemy...has she been successfully eliminated?"

"This knife of mine is a specially made container to seal her own abilities. Don't worry, I've already cut her at the source just now, and lost all her power. completely dissipated."

When it comes to the fact that his sword is actually a container for controlling abilities, Ah Li's expression is inexplicably unclear for a moment.

But she concealed it very well, then raised the sideburns around her ears and squatted down, looking down at the scene below with Dun.

I don't know whether it was God's will or a coincidence, the female ghost fell into Michio Maruyama's room, not far from the corpse.

As a loser, she looks quite miserable at the moment.The weird corpse arm on her body was chopped up in a mess, and golden particles shone from the section, as if something invisible was secretly devouring her body.

But that wasn't devouring, but a proof that her existence was gradually dissipating.

The two who were closest to the center of the battlefield suddenly caught a glimpse of something through the light and shadow fragments flying all over the sky.

【Ah, when was this statue here?irritating--】

In the retro room that seemed familiar, the innocent female student in a white dress covered her lips in surprise, and pointed her other hand at the plaster statue near the bed.

It was a statue of a blind woman who cut off her own wrist with a sharp knife. The surrounding night was low, and the sound of pattering rain surrounded the exterior walls of the entire building, making the atmosphere extraordinarily creepy.

The sudden glance made Shirose, who was not well-informed, feel uncomfortable.

【It is a work of art carved by my grandfather before he was alive. Be careful, the tip of the knife is just facing the outside, so don't get hurt by it. 】

The person who spoke was the owner of the room, a man with a handsome face and mild eyebrows and eyes that were not at all aggressive.Receiving his soft voice, the female student lowered her head shyly, her cheeks were stained with a faint blush as if infected by tenderness, even in a dimly lit room, she could still see the radiant charm.

【That...Mr. Doxiong, I came here tonight because there are some things I want to tell you no matter what...】

In the middle of the night, the opposite sex is in the same room, some kind of inexplicable emotion is flowing in the body, the light blue veins under the skin are constantly expanding like agitation.

Perhaps it was because of the good feelings they had developed in the previous relationship, and that relationship was infinitely magnified by those who cared in the dark.

【In fact, I have always been to you...】

Michio Maruyama moved his Adam's apple, feeling a little embarrassed.

【Shirase-san, this is not appropriate for us...】

Besides, she already has a boyfriend.

But the excuse used to stop it is ridiculously weak. Even if he really thought about wearing armor to resist this tenderness offensive, the soldier still chose to throw away the armor in front of the princess from the moment the other party fell into his arms. , let go of everything, and plunge into the magnificent quagmire of immorality.

Unfortunately, at the moment when the princess was about to give a kiss, she caught a glimpse of something in the mirror through the gap of her slightly opened eyelids, causing her to widen her eyes in horror.

【what--! ! 】

The suppressed screams were drowned in the torrential rain outside the window, 'bang' - the man in front of her was pushed away by her unexpectedly, and his back was knocked down heavily on the statue behind him.

The tip of the knife submerged completely in an instant, and a large amount of blood stained the pierced chest red.Because of the accidental impact just now, Maruyama Michio cracked the statue's hand, and fell to the ground with the plaster cast in the shape of a sharp knife stuck in his back.

【No, I didn't do it...】

Shirase immediately backed away in panic, wanting to escape from the bloody scene as far away as possible.

However, until the skin of her palm touched the doorknob, she calmed down abnormally in the freezing temperature.

(If you say it, Toshihiko-kun will find out that you have a tryst in the teacher's room tonight...)

Maliciousness is only born in a thought.

Between the two options, Shirase chose the latter without hesitation, whether to call other people to rescue him, leading to the discovery of the secret and losing his rich boyfriend, Toshihiko-kun, or to cover up this fact.

She wiped her fingerprints on the doorknob with a handkerchief, cleaned up the blood on the statue, pulled out the murder weapon that caused Michio Maruyama's serious injury, wrapped it in a white cloth, and left the room in a hurry.

The handsome man who had lost too much blood sat down on the ground in a slump, feeling gradually difficult to breathe, unable to even make a simple call.

When his consciousness was blurred, he found a somewhat familiar figure near the mirror slowly approaching him.

【Dao Xiongjun...】

What came into her ears was a very soft and pleasant female voice, and her fingers moved down a little bit, cautiously, as if she wanted to touch his cheek lightly.

With the last of his strength, Michio Maruyama opened his eyes with the only sliver of sobriety, but when he saw her true face, he let out a terrified cry out of breath.

【Strange, monster——】

The finger that originally wanted to touch stayed in the air.

Her eyes fell on the white wax-like stiff fingertip, and she looked up the finger, only to realize that it was not her own hand at all.

It is a 'bone wing' that was artificially spliced ​​and turned into an "angel".

【Ah ah ah ah ah--】

Desperate wails that cannot be heard by humans tore through the rain curtain of the entire outside world, echoing for a long time on this doomed sad stage.

"This is the scene of the incident that night. Could it be that it is the memory of the disappearing female ghost?"

Through the emotions and memories that did not belong to them that appeared in their minds, both of them more or less deduced the truth.

Those glowing bubbles floating in the air are not only traces of the female ghost's disappearance, but also a part of the root that composes and supports her existence.

There is the ignorance when being adopted under the name of the owner of the foreign house, the fear when seeing other companions being murdered, and the strong despair and eager unwillingness when death comes to oneself.

Joy, sadness, anxiety, fear... mixed together, and at the same time, there are those precious memories that have always been warmed in the deepest part of the soul.

【Who are you? 】

[I am the grandson of the owner of this house, my name is Daoxiong.Is this the Temari you dropped? 】

【Um……】

【Haha, I heard that grandpa has adopted many orphans, you should be one of them, right?She looks so cute. 】

【…】

【I just picked this flower in the back mountain. It's a Camellia plant. It's bright red and pretty, right? 】

【…】

【Give it to you. 】

【……Eh? 】

[This kind of flower has a very long flowering period, and it will only bloom once after 13 months, so I want to take advantage of its flowering time to make its most beautiful posture as a specimen and preserve it.Since it was made with you in mind, I thought it would be better to give it to you. 】

[Why...you think of me? 】

[Because its name is the same as yours. 】

【Dao Xiongjun, will you come back to see me again? 】

【My parents will take me to study abroad next time. If there is a chance... Well, if you are still there at that time, I will definitely come back and have a look. 】

【…】

[Wait for me, Tsubaki. 】

The pictures of boys and girls of similar age living in the mansion, like yellowed film, flashed before my eyes frame by frame.

But the two children at that time, when they met again, they had already changed.

That promise may be just a childhood joke to the young man, but to her it is the thought that she has worked so hard to persist until now.

However, she didn't wait for you until the day she died, and she couldn't hug you until the day she lost her arm and turned into a monster.

The cuffs on both sides of the woman lying on the ground were empty. She had lost her arms and could only arch her back, strenuously and embarrassingly supporting the ground with her chin, and moved little by little to the side of the body that had lost all body heat.

pat, pat-

Crystal tears came out of the eyes and flowed down that beautiful face.

The bunch of camellia placed in his heart.

It was the first and last gift he ever gave her, but all the cherished thoughts and sprouting feelings finally sealed the fruitless love because of the unstoppable death between each other.

Most of her body at this moment has turned into light sand and disappeared into the air. Even so, the girl named Tsubaki in her memory will try her best to come to his side and say the last words.

"You always asked me to wait for you... But now, I don't want to wait for you anymore, Mr. Daoxiong."

Transparent teardrops fell on the petals of the camellia.

Then even that drop of tear turned into a golden starlight, and disappeared completely without leaving any trace on the world.

Only the corpse still lay quietly in place, acting as an eternal silent person.

Until a long time passed, no one around spoke.The sound of congratulations rising faintly in the distance seemed to come from an extremely distant place, floating endlessly under the night with a vague and indistinguishable texture.

"Miss Li, have you seen all the memories just now?" Dun stood on the edge of the hole in the roof, his expression filled with an indescribable complexity.

Hearing his question, Ah Li scratched the long tea chestnut hair around her neck nonchalantly, and said blankly: "Hmm... are you saying that Shirase wants to flick Maruyama's lips with his tongue?"

Dun Yi's uncomfortable mood was immediately destroyed by Ah Li's speech, and he said frantically: "Really, Miss Li, you should be more serious!"

(Obviously he just felt very sad...)

Ah Li couldn't help but playfully chuckled, then quietly looked up and watched the fog surrounding the island gradually dissipate, returning to the clear night starry sky.

"Dun Dun, never pity ghosts."

The clear girlish voice echoed across the roof, she turned her head while talking.

The night wind blows away the long hair of the girl who is stepping steadily on the eaves, and the honey-gold eyes hidden under the bangs blink slightly, reflecting the complete figure of the boy.

"In any case, they are deprived of sympathy from the moment they kill. It is my job as a detective to solve this murder calmly and clear all the [unstable factors] in it."

For some reason, an indescribable emotion sneaked into the wind because of these words, and hit the heart in Dun's chest.

But not long after, the handsome Ah Li raised his hand sleepily and let out a big yawn as if nothing had happened: "Haha——is it almost dawn? I just came back from a business trip and spent the night fighting monsters." ,sleepy."

Crystal tears overflowed from the corners of the reddened eyes, making the puppet-like delicate face even more lovely.

She has always adjusted her mood very quickly, making it impossible to see the tenderness underlying her actions.Dun stared at her face for a long time before laughing out loud.

(I feel that Ms. Li is really... a very reliable senior.)

But only half a minute later, he was slapped in the face again.
