Shen Meng

Hindsight guy.

"Baimu Guijun, thank you very much." Xiaokui's eyes were very sincere.

Really, how can this guy who made an afterthought get Xiaokui's thanks.

The two of us went to the door of Tsukidu Mairi's house and rang the electric bell. Not long after, a girl wearing slippers came down and opened the door. The girl was wearing a pair of ponytails. She looked very cute. When she saw the domeki I couldn't help but blush, "May I ask who you two are?"

I took the lead and said, "We are Xiaokui's classmates, and she asked us to come here. I am Jun Xun on April [-]st, and this is Baimu Guijing."

"It turned out to be you, I'm really sorry, please come in, please come in."

After we sat down, Tsukidu Wuli made a pot of tea and poured a cup for Domeki and me.Yuedu Wuli also sat down and told us about the supernatural event in detail. What she said was similar to that of Xiaokui.

Yuedu Wuli put down the tea in her hand, "Now I will show you that mirror."

Baimugui didn't respond when he heard this, so I hurriedly replied, "Okay, I'll trouble you then."

Yuedu Wuli led us to the study room. Sure enough, a mirror taller than a person was attached to the wall. The three of us stood in front of the mirror. Sure enough, she was the only one who was not reflected. Was it caused by spirits?But I can't feel the slightest breath of the spirit body, which is really strange.

I heard the sound of water droplets falling, very small, as if it came from the mirror, I put my hand on the mirror, and in an instant, the palm of my hand entered the mirror, and then the whole body entered the mirror In the world in the mirror, I can clearly see the Domeki and Tsukidu Mauri outside. They look around for me, but they can’t see me in the mirror. I see them standing in front of me. I couldn't hear the conversation at all. I tried to yell at the domeku, but the two didn't respond at all. This time was miserable, and I suddenly felt that I was abandoned by the world.

I stretched out my hand and tapped the smooth mirror, and the domeki who was talking to Tsukidu Mairi turned around and glanced at the mirror. Could the sound from the mirror be heard by people outside?With a little luck, I tapped the mirror again, and the Hundred Eyed Ghost turned his head to stare at the mirror again. Isn't it a fluke this time?I watched Domeki walking towards the mirror, carefully inspected the mirror for any abnormalities, and turned to talk to Yuedu Wuli, but unfortunately I couldn't hear anything, Yuedu Wulihua hurried to the mirror when he heard his words, It seems that they have locked their target on this mirror.I stretched out my hand and was about to tap the mirror for the third time, when a child's voice interrupted me, "Brother, don't go out, stay here with me." As soon as the child's voice fell, the space in the mirror began to distort, When I came back to my senses, I found myself standing among a mess of thorns. The thorns of the thorns cut through my naked skin, and blood flowed all over the ground.I wanted to run away, but found that my feet were firmly grasped by a baby. It was a cute baby boy. His innocent eyes were fixed on me. My intuition told me that this baby boy was not human. He opened his mouth and said slowly, "Big brother, I'm very scared. People outside will kill me again if they find out." I put my hands on such a cute baby, so that this young soul can only live in the mirror. I reached out and stroked the baby's head, "I won't let anyone kill you." There was a satisfied smile on the baby's face, and his eyes were full of joy. Bewitched by the temptation, I couldn't help looking into the baby's eyes. When I looked at them, my eyes closed, and my body passed out, but my consciousness was still very clear, but my body was not controlled by my consciousness. .Is this death?Some sharp things scratched the surface of my skin, it was very painful, and there was a sound of water dripping. Every time the water dripped, I felt pain. This was a long and painful process.

"Big brother, soon, soon you will be by my side forever." The baby's cold little hand brushed across the face, the coldness was several degrees colder than ice, and it came from the heart cold.

I was lying on the ground, unable to move, those sharp things were still raging on my body, the pain became more and more severe, dying from pain is really an extremely ugly way of dying... when the sharp point hits the place closest to the heart , I know I'm done, my life is over.But I didn't feel the pain as I imagined. Some warm liquid dripped on my chest. It was really a warm feeling. Is this the flashback before death?

"Don't lie on the ground, get up." A warm hand grabbed my hand, it was a hundred-eyed ghost.

I made a lot of efforts, but there was no way for my body to be controlled by consciousness, and my body lay stiffly on the ground.

Domeki stretched out his hand and patted my face vigorously, some warm liquid crackled and fell on my face, "Hey, wake up, you idiot." I heard the sound of glass breaking, and then I I was able to move, I opened my eyes, and found that my body was covered with scars, Domeki slapped my face with his bloody hands, it turned out that the warmth was his blood, and a group of thorns entangled his other body tightly. One hand, blood flowed all over the ground.The baby stood beside him, watching all this with a dark smile.

"You are... an idiot." When I said this, I couldn't get up in the slightest, feeling as if a knife was piercing my heart. I tore off a piece of cloth from my clothes and wrapped it up for him. I stretched out my hand to pull the entanglement I hugged his thorns, but I didn't expect the thorns to become tighter and tighter. He didn't say a word, and looked at me with a pale face.

"Lie, you are all liars, I'm going to kill you." The baby's eyes turned blood red, and it appeared in a state of madness and flew towards the Baimugui. The Baimugui's expression didn't change at all, and I remembered that he couldn't see the spirit body. Yes, I dragged my heavy body to block the baby. The baby stretched out his cold hand and pierced my chest. It was very cold and tired, and I could hardly keep my eyelids open. I really wanted to fall into a deep sleep like this.I vaguely saw the Baimugui make a bow and arrow out of thin air, but there was no arrow in his hand. He made a motion of shooting an arrow at the baby, and then my eyes went dark and I couldn't see anything.

When I woke up, I was wrapped up like a pig’s head and lay on the hospital bed. The person next to the bed was a nasty Baimugui. His injury didn’t look serious. His hands and feet were all bound by gauze, and his left hand seemed to be broken. , When he saw me awake, he glanced at me, "Awake." It's really rare that he didn't complain about me.

I thought of those cold little hands, "How is that child?"

Baimugui was silent for a while, "Dead, the police found the baby's body in the family's garden, it is estimated that he has been dead for several years."

"What's going on here?" I continued to ask.

"The baby's biological mother killed him by hand and buried him in the garden. This mother is Tsukidu Mairi. The police have arrested her. The last thing the child saw before he died was the mirror, so he His soul is imprisoned in this mirror, and this is the reason why the mirror cannot reflect Yuedu Wulihua."

"Why did she kill this child? It's too unfair and cruel to this child."

"This child is her and his ex-boyfriend's child. She killed the child to be fair to herself."

On the day Domeki and I were discharged from the hospital, there was such a news on TV: A suspected infanticide used a broken mirror to cut his own vein in prison and ended his own life. A mirror as tall as a person, who knows that two souls are now imprisoned in this mirror.

Now I have a little understanding of why the mirror can't reflect Tsukidu Mauri's appearance, probably because the mirror doesn't like her soul.

exist

After the Tsukidu Mai pear incident, life returned to the normal track. On the surface, nothing has changed, but some subtle things are beginning to change, and these subtle changes will become an opportunity.

Not long after I sat in the classroom, the bell rang for the end of class. The teacher called Xiaokui's name, as if asking her to go to the office to get the test paper back. I saw this great opportunity, so I asked the teacher to help Xiaokui, the teacher also happily agreed. Opportunities still need to be created by ourselves. Just relying on this alone, Domeki is definitely not as good as me.

Xiaokui and I walked out of the office with the test paper in our arms. At first we thought the test paper would not be very heavy, but we didn’t expect it to be so heavy. But it’s okay, it can improve my image in Xiaokui’s mind.

"Mr. April [-]st, I'm really sorry about what happened last time. I didn't expect Wuli to be such a person. I'm really sorry." Xiaokui buried her head low.

"Xiao Kui is actually nothing, it's none of your business at all, you're just thinking about your friends."

"but……"

"There is no 'but', Xiaokui, you have worked very hard, so you don't have to blame yourself so much."

Xiao Kui reached out and patted my shoulder, "Mr. April [-]st, thank you so much."

I don’t know why, but I feel a strange feeling filling my whole body, but I can’t tell what kind of feeling it is, that’s all, maybe it’s just my hallucination, I keep comforting myself, and then move on.

I didn't take a few steps, and some inexplicable pictures suddenly came into my eyes: I saw myself holding the test paper and paused by the window, Xiaokui and Baimugui were standing next to me, I leaned against the window, but Unexpectedly, my feet lost weight, and I fell downstairs with the glass of the window. The blood was all over the ground, as if it was real.

Xiaokui patted my shoulder, and I just came back to my senses from these horrible pictures. Fortunately, these were just my hallucinations. In the process of walking through the corridor, I deliberately kept away from the windows and walked forward cautiously. When I walked downstairs, I actually let down my vigilance. I thought nothing would happen, but what should happen still happened.

A whole window on the third floor fell down behind me with a bang. The sound really startled me. Just when I was about to lament that I had avoided the bloody disaster, there was a sharp sound from my hands and feet. When I looked down, I saw several pieces of broken glass stuck in my hands and feet, and the blood flowed out. It seemed that the broken glass was splashed here. All turned pale.

I quickly said, "Xiaokui, I'm fine."

Seeing this, Xiaokui immediately helped me to the school doctor's office. After the wound was treated by the school doctor, the bleeding stopped. Finally, the school doctor ordered me to rest in the school doctor's room. Xiaokui wanted to stay with me in the school doctor's room, but the school doctor still let me When she went back, she was really a ruthless school doctor.Having said that, why have I always caused bloody disasters lately? The milder ones suffered a little skin trauma like a few days ago, and the heavier ones were directly dragged to the hospital by the ambulance.

At noon, Baimugui came to the school doctor's office with my bento box. When I saw him, my heart fell into the loneliness when Xiaokui left again. He put the bento box in front of me, "Jiuxuan asked me to talk to you sorry."

"why?"

"Ask her yourself." Baimugui spread his palms.

Since Xiaokui doesn't want to say anything, I don't need to ask any more questions, that's all right.

"Hundred Ghosts, what did you say you would give me last time?" I sat up.

Baimugui frowned, thought for a long time before slowly saying, "It's courage."

"Courage?" It's really strange, why did he give me courage, and I'm a little skeptical that such a vain thing can be given.

"The courage to live." Baimugui added.

"Why do you think I don't want to live?" I couldn't help laughing, but my nose was sour, which made me uncomfortable.

"I... I don't know." What an idiot.

I rubbed my sore nose, "Don't worry, I won't die before you die, I will definitely live much longer than you."

"Also, thank you for your courage."

A faint smile appeared on Domeki's face, probably warm.

The wind lifted the ivory-white curtains, making a rattling sound. The sun reflected through the dust on Nagasawa Yasuko's pale face, giving her a healthy look. With thick ink, I lowered my head and began to write quickly on the rice paper. It didn't take long for the Chinese character "Dream" to be written, and the character "Dream" was written magnificently.She put down the brush and held the newly written words horizontally. The ink on it was still wet. She tore the words into pieces without the slightest hesitation, showing a nasty smile on her face.

Ruined dreams.This is the true meaning of her existence, and it is also the purpose of wanting to turn that person into her own kind.

"Amiko, you're here again." Chunmei poked her head halfway in from the studio, showing her bright eyes, "Ms. Sanada is looking for you everywhere."

Nagasawa Yasuko crumpled up the shredded paper in her hand and threw it into a corner, making a fake smile, "Why does Sanada-sensei want me?"

"I guess it's about the calligraphy competition. Teacher Sanada really wants you to participate in this competition." Chunmei looked at the shoes on her feet.

"I think it's better if I don't go, so as not to cause complications." Nagasawa Yasuko took out a tissue to wipe the ink on her hands.

"What extraneous issues?" Chunmei looked puzzled.

"This is a secret." Nagasawa Yasuko made a hissing gesture, and she walked out of the studio after she finished speaking, followed by Junmei immediately.

After school, I didn't want to go home right away, so I walked into the park near the school without knowing it. At this time, there were not many people in the park, only a few children were playing and playing.I sat on the swing, holding the blackened iron chain with both hands, exerting force on my feet, and my body swung with the wooden board under me, which was very comfortable.

"Who are you waiting for?" A gentle female voice came from beside her, it was a mature woman.

I smiled, but the loneliness in my heart couldn't be filled, "I'm not waiting for anyone, and no one can make me wait, but you, are you waiting for someone?"

"Me? I'm waiting for someone who will never come." Although the woman had a bright smile on her face, she couldn't hide the emptiness in her heart.

"Name, what's your name?" I asked seriously.

"You are really interesting. Do you think it makes sense to ask the name of a person who might just pass by?" The woman straightened her wrinkled skirt.

"It may be meaningless to you, but it is meaningful to me." It is about the meaning of my existence, so it is meaningful.

"My name is Hirata Morinaga, then you, what's your name?" Miss Hirata said.

"Miss Hirata, my name is April [-]st Junxun." I replied.

"Mr. April [-]st, nice to meet you."

"Me too."

The wind gently rolled up the blue-yellow leaves on the ground, and the surrounding scenery became dim. The children who were playing and playing had already gone home.

Miss Hirata got up from the swing with a smile on her cheeks, "It's getting late, you should go back early, there are still people waiting for you." Hearing Miss Hirata's words, I wanted to laugh a little. In this world, Who will wait for me, people like me.

I looked up at Miss Hirata, "What about you, Miss Hirata?"

"I want to stay for a while and think about things." Miss Hirata's expression became a little strange.

I got up from the swing, "Okay, I'll go back first."

Ms. Hirata nodded, then fell into deep thought.

On the way back, I kept thinking about the so-called problems of existence, and the "courage to live" that Domeki said. What is the meaning of my existence, I can't figure it out.
