Tokyo, Oshima House

There are several tall persimmon trees in the orchard of the manor. Usually they are inconspicuous among the trees, just like the most ordinary street trees. But in late autumn, they are full of persimmons, like brightly colored persimmons.

Little lantern.

At this time, there was a straight ladder set up under the persimmon tree.

Miss Maria stood in front of the ladder. She held the ladder carefully. It could be seen that she used a lot of strength to prevent the ladder from shaking.

Standing on the ladder is Nadeshiko. She is climbing up step by step, preparing to pick the persimmons on the top of the tree.

Wearing a skirt is not suitable for climbing high, as it is too easy to expose yourself. But there is only Maria here, so it doesn’t matter if there is no opposite sex.

Climbing high and running, Nadeshiko likes this feeling very much, but in her memory, she stayed in the hospital for a long time, and her body did not allow her to exercise as much as she wanted. Of course, that is just a memory, and it belongs to the real "Nadeshiko Amamiya" and not to her.

My memory.

But having inherited this memory, she also likes the feeling of free exercise.

"The eldest lady should be back tomorrow. She used to like persimmons very much. They are especially sweet after frost. Well, I don't know if she still likes them now."

Maria originally wanted to pick persimmons by herself, but Nadeshiko strongly recommended herself, so she stopped insisting and held the ladder below instead.

"I think she will like it."

Standing high and looking around, you will feel particularly comfortable. Persimmons are very soft and cannot be thrown away after being picked. Nadeshiko directly cut off a branch full of fruits with pliers and plucked the branches together so that they can be preserved.

It will take longer.

"Be careful and come down slowly."

Nadeshiko responded, holding a persimmon in one hand and holding the ladder with the other as she was about to climb down. Suddenly her body trembled. She lost her hand and almost fell from the three-meter-high ladder. Mary

Yamoji quickly fixed the swaying ladder, and Nadeshiko grabbed it with her other hand in time, thus maintaining her balance.

But because of this, the persimmon fell from his hand and fell to the ground into pulp. It was obviously inedible.

"Ah, the persimmon is broken."

"Is that what you're talking about now? It doesn't matter what the persimmons are, are you okay?"

Nadeshiko shook her head, climbed down from the ladder, and jumped down when there were only three steps left.

"What happened?"

"I don't know either." Nadeshiko said with some confusion, "I always feel like someone touched me."

Of course there was no one else here, but compared to this, Nadeshiko vaguely felt that something was happening. Something related to her, or in other words, related to her important people. This feeling was like nothing else.

The basis is the same as the fact that she just clearly felt that she was touched by someone.

It wasn't heavy, it was touched lightly, but she was startled and couldn't stand still.

Yasuo and Sakura pushed open the bronze gate and walked into the "Zhoushan" house. The surroundings were very quiet. It was obviously dark, but the lights were not turned on in the house, which looked like it was uninhabited.

Walking into the courtyard from the path, there is a lawn on the right, and in the corner of the lawn is the strange swimming pool. Because there are no street lights in the courtyard, the swimming pool in the distance is deep in darkness, which makes people feel scary when looking at it.

Yasuo is not going to the swimming pool. Whether there is a super beast there or not has nothing to do with him. He just wants to find his sister.

There was no one at the swimming pool, so Yasuo took Sakura and walked all the way to the main house.

The door to the main house was also unlocked. It opened with a slight push, making a huge "creep" sound that was rusty due to long years of disuse. The sound resounded throughout the entire building.

This is a villa with a long history, perhaps dating back to the Taisho period. After the door of the country was knocked open by foreigners, Japanese and Western cultures continued to collide and blend, resulting in a brief period of peace and prosperity, and various social trends of thought burst out. So it was built

There are many Western-style buildings.

This bungalow should be one of them. As a witness of the times, it bears the mark of the times.

However, due to years of disrepair, this "witness" has long been decayed, and the house is in a dilapidated state. There is dust on the ground, and it really does not look like someone is living in it.

Is this where Zenta, Jiro and the "long-time neighbors" as mentioned by their sister live?

Sakura didn't know why she followed her. She just saw others doing dangerous things and wanted to dissuade her but couldn't, so she naturally followed her all the way into the building. To say she regretted it, after stepping in

In this environment like a haunted house, she had long regretted it.

In this dark and gloomy environment at this moment, she had already begun to think about quitting.

It's not like she has never been to a haunted house. When filming a TV series before, several episodes were filmed in a spooky and dark environment at night. But at that time, there were directors, set managers, and many staff outside the camera.

, and she also knows that she is acting, and everything scary is fake.

But this time it’s different!

Not to mention her, Yasuo had already wanted to leave. Everything was so out of line with common sense. The environment here did not have the slightest bit of residential atmosphere. Even if she was invited by the so-called neighbor, there was no reason why his sister would enter such a house.

With the dim skylight outside reflecting on the wall, Yasuo suddenly found a button on the wall, which looked like a light switch.

I didn't have much hope at first, I just pressed it casually, and suddenly the surroundings became bright.

The light turned on!

In such a dilapidated house, the lights are still intact. No, before that, there was water and electricity here?

Yasuo and Sakura were just elementary school students and had not thought of this. They only felt that a room illuminated by lights made them feel more at ease. Human beings are creatures that are afraid of darkness. Even in the light, being able to see the surroundings also means that

Let others see you.

"Look, there are footprints on the ground!" Yasuo said suddenly.

In the hall illuminated by lights, you can clearly see that there are some messy footprints on the ground. They are very eye-catching among the thick layer of dust. These footprints are messy, but they are enough to prove that someone has been here recently.

"Listen, there seems to be a sound upstairs."

Being reminded by Sakura, Yasuo also vaguely heard it, and there was indeed a noise upstairs.

The two looked at each other. Originally, they were planning to leave, but the light on gave the two little guys some courage. Sometimes courage is a very precious thing, but sometimes it is not necessarily.

"I want to go up and have a look." Yasuo said.

His sister might be upstairs. As soon as he finds her, he will leave here immediately. The rest, whether they are cosmic beings, super beasts, monsters or ghosts, have nothing to do with him.

To be honest, Sakura didn't want to go up, but she didn't dare to leave alone. Originally, the building was dark, but now that the lights were on, the courtyard outside was dark, making people feel like they didn't know where to hide.

What kind of monster?

Yasuo was already walking upstairs. The steps here are all made of cement. They are not as dangerous as ordinary Japanese wooden stairs because they are in disrepair and are dangerous because they have accumulated a lot of dust and are soft when you step on them. Then

Yasuo saw it——

In the room on the second floor, the person who made the sound was someone he knew. But it was not his sister.

"Zenta, Jiro?!"

Impossible, they had already gone home. Yasuo watched the two of them leave with his own eyes, and found that they had no belly buttons. After that, they did not see the two of them come back to this courtyard.

Zenta and Jiro were lying on the ground, not knowing whether they were sick or injured, and they were moaning softly.

But if it is Zenta and Jiro here, who are the two people who just left?

Although this was not the first time that he doubted the reality of all this, Yasuo began to be unable to understand everything that happened in front of him. Unreasonable things happened one after another, as if all logic in the ten years since his birth had been overthrown.

At this time, the two people struggling on the ground propped up their bodies and raised their heads.

Sakura screamed. She had never been a bold girl, so when faced with a scene that only appeared in horror movies, it was no surprise that her mind went blank.

What appeared in front of them was indeed a scene that could only be seen in horror movies - Zenta and Jiro, let's call them by two names. Their entire faces and skin were covered with moss or seaweed.

The green velvet whiskers are mixed with fish-like scales.

Yasuo subconsciously took a step back, but was tripped by Sakura who was crouching behind him with her head in her arms. He fell to the dusty ground, but Yasuo could no longer care about it.

Where is his sister? Where is his sister?

As if in response to his question, the door next to him suddenly clicked, and the door handle was turned open.

Yasuo saw his sister, who, like Zenta and the others, had turned into a monster’s sister!

Even adults would probably have their psychological defenses broken under such circumstances, not to mention that Yasuo is just a ten-year-old child.

However, Sakura who tripped him and fell with him prevented Yasuo from breaking down immediately. He was the one who brought the girl in, so he realized that he had to do something.

He is a liar and often disobeys his mother. However, mother said that he is a man.

Yasuo stood up, took Sakura's hand, and dragged her down the stairs.

Zenta, Jiro and their sister, who had become "weirdos", had no intention of chasing them. They just looked at them coldly, with no warmth in their eyes, or even any human emotions.

However, Yasuo had to stop when he reached the platform halfway up the corner of the stairs.

There were two people standing at the bottom of the stairs, a middle-aged man and woman. Yasuo had never seen them before, so he thought they were the Zhoushan couple.

The two of them were smiling like this, as if they were just ordinary friendly neighbors. But when they were blocked in front of the stairs, Yasuo and Sakura couldn't pass at all.

It was clearly deserted just now, but Yasuo couldn't imagine how the other party could appear here.

"You, who are you?"

"Oh, you don't know us? Aren't we old neighbors?" the strange man said, as if they had really been neighbors for many years.

"You're lying, I don't know you at all! This is... by the way, I remembered!" Yasuo looked around and finally remembered what he had forgotten, "Isn't this a ruin that has long been abandoned?"To be continued...
