Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 49

curious,

like a cat,

Sometimes it hides in the dark,
Sometimes it lies in the sun.

but me,

follow it
into the dark,

Also into the light...

……

Chen Yan didn't know that although he had already rejected the temptation of money from the man.

But at that time, he also fell into another trap.

After that incident, Chen Yan couldn't ignore the locked room anymore.

what will be inside
a cat?
a woman
Or, nothing?
When Chen Yan walked through the door, he suddenly paused.

Not that she wanted to stop.

But, suddenly stopped.

"Chen Yan, what are you doing standing there?"

When the employer's voice sounded, Chen Yan was taken aback.

"No... nothing..."

Chen Yan walked away, and the things in the room seemed to snicker triumphantly.

The man in the hat is still here today.

It's just that his spirit is very poor, maybe he didn't sleep well all night.

When playing mahjong, I even made mistakes several times.

Throughout the day, that person didn't say a single unnecessary word, and seemed to have become taciturn again.

Or maybe it was because he felt that he would lose his words if he said too much, so he deliberately didn't speak.

After the game was over, the employer took his own key and opened the door.

He goes in occasionally.

Maybe it was afraid of the contents inside, and someone stole it.

Chen Yan saw it clearly, the key was copper yellow, and it was hung on a silver keychain alone.

When the employer went in, he put the key in the inside pocket of his coat.

Nobody would put their keys in that pocket.

That pocket is close to my heart.The things in it are usually very important things.

Chen Yan didn't know why she watched these things, but she just did.

……

If you want to do something.

And, words from the heart.

Well, one day, you will be successful.

Chen Yan finally waited for an opportunity. When the employer left one day, he left the coat at home.And the key is still in that pocket.

Chen Yan swore that he only took a look, and it wasn't for the man's 10 yuan.

People die for money, especially when others give you a lot of money, and then just ask you to do a simple thing that cannot be simpler, then you must pay attention.

Chen Yan opened the door.

There was a faint smell of sandalwood in the room, mixed with a fishy smell.

Chen Yan could see that three half-burned incense sticks were inserted on the ground in the center of the house.

A white porcelain bowl was placed in front of the incense.

what's in the bowl
Now that the doors are open and the employer is not at home.

Chen Yan still decided to go in and have a better look.

When Chen Yan was about to go in, he found a crooked dark red line under his feet. This line directly formed a crooked rectangle along the wall of the room.

The fishy smell comes from the lines.

Chen Yan stepped in, and inside the white porcelain bowl was half a bowl of pale yellow liquid.

It looks more like oil...

"boom……"

I don't know if it was a wind blowing, or what, the door of the room was suddenly closed.

The room was plunged into darkness.

Chen Yan was fairly courageous, although he was a little scared.

But he didn't lose his cool.

"In a normal room, there should be a light switch at the entrance." Chen Yan thought to himself.

Chen Yan walked along the wall and touched the switch at the door.

"Snapped……"

light is on……

It was obviously daytime, but the door was closed, since there would be no light at all.

Does this house have no windows?
Chen Yan looked at the two side walls of the room. There were still windows, but they were nailed up with wooden boards.

So there will be no light coming in through the windows...

Except for these things, there is nothing else in the room.

It was empty, as if it was just using the incense to worship a certain god.

Chen Yan was about to open the door and go out.

A voice sounded.

"elder sister……"

It was the voice of a little girl, not loud, and there seemed to be a trace of fear.

Hearing the sound, Chen Yan scanned the room again.

Three half-burned incense sticks in a white porcelain bowl.

As well as the crooked red thread, the fishy smell emanating from the red thread made Chen Yanjue a little familiar.

However, she hadn't figured out yet what kind of smell it was.

Not seeing anyone, Chen Yan felt a chill in his heart.

"You are?"

Chen Yan asked in a low voice.

"Sister...are you a bad person...?"

The little girl's voice sounded, and it seemed to be very close to Chen Yan. To be precise, the voice came from directly below her.

Chen Yan took two steps back, trying to keep a little distance from the voice.

"no……"

After Chen Yan finished speaking, a child slowly appeared.

The child was wearing a red kimono and looked very honest.

Probably about four or five years old.

Although the child looked cute, Chen Yan was a little scared by the way he appeared.

Add to that the strange smell of sandalwood mixed with fishy smell in this room...

Chen Yanguo opened the door and escaped...

……

"Chen Yan, I'm back."

When Chen Beibei came back, he went to Chen Yan's room to say hello to her.

Chen Yan, who was thinking about the day's affairs, was startled by Chen Beibei's sudden voice, and even knocked over the water glass on the bedside table.

"Chen Yan, are you okay?"

"I...I'm fine..."

What happened during the day was still too weird for Chen Yan.

At this time, she was a little bit, wondering if the child was imagined because she was influenced by that man.

After all, since the man said he gave Chen Yan 10 yuan to go to that room to have a look.

Unconsciously, Chen Yan would think about what was in that room.

And she could feel that her mental state was not that good either.

"If you're okay, go to bed early. Chen Yan, I feel that you are a bit strange these days."

After Chen Beibei finished speaking, he planned to go back to his room.

"Well... can Yingcao come to accompany me?"

Chen Yan looked at Chen Beibei and said softly.

"okay."

Chen Beibei let Yingcao go to Chen Yan's room, and went to bed with Sanweihu himself.

The fur of the three-tailed fox was still smooth and soft to the touch.

The body still exudes a touch of warmth.

This can still give Chen Beibei a little warmth when it is raining and the temperature is cooling down.

In the dark night outside the window, Kaoru, who had disappeared for several days, returned to the branch.

From time to time, the mouth made a few "cuckoo" sounds.

The water droplets on the eaves fell on the puddles on the ground one by one... one by one.

Gives a very peaceful feeling.

　I went back to the countryside today, it is still raining, the air in the countryside is very good, and the streets look clean...
