Story of a pixel village next to the mantra

Mingming's mobile phone heard a crisp message receiving tone, she looked down, and then put the phone in front of Xia Youjie's eyes in surprise.

"This is, Atsune Hino? Is the camera blurred?"

There is a surveillance photo of the elevator in the phone, it should be viewed from the back, but most of the picture is covered by a ball of paste, only a pair of rabbit ears on Hino's school uniform are vaguely exposed, Xia Youjie didn't recognize it for a while Out of classmates.

"Take a closer look." Ming Ming reminded.

Xia Youjie stretched out his arms to lift up the phone, and then almost missed the phone.The blurry mass was a rotting face, almost pressed against the camera, with empty eye sockets looking straight at the person behind the camera.

"If you break it, you will have to pay for it~" Mingming tied her ponytail today, and she smoothed her hair, "As you can see, it is a 'human' face. I got it from the people in the elevator factory, and Video, but no sound."

Mingming clicked on the video, the first few seconds were still clear, the empty elevator was going up, and then stopped, the elevator door opened, and Hino Tingyin was standing outside.

But for some reason, Hino didn't go directly into the elevator, and stood outside with his head tilted, gesticulating with his hands.

Mingming paused the video and asked, "What do you think Hino is doing?"

Xia Youjie thought for a while, "When Ting Yin is talking, if she encounters a problem, she will unconsciously tilt her head and think...Wait, who is she talking to?"

Jie squinted his eyes to look at the surveillance screen, the elevator was empty, and there was no second person beside Hino.

"Bingo."

Mingming continued to play the monitoring screen.

Hino Atsune walked into the elevator and obviously avoided an area.At this time, a small area on the right side of the camera seemed to be stained with dirt and became blurred.

After Hino pressed the floor button, he turned around to face the vacated space, and began gesticulating and tilting his head again.As time goes by, the blurred area of ​​the lens becomes larger and larger until it becomes the surveillance photo that Xia Youjie first saw.

Looking away from the phone, Xia Youjie asked Mingming for confirmation, "So besides the unseen thing in the elevator, there is another one behind Ting Yin?"

Ming Ming nodded, "And this is only part of what was captured by surveillance today. The property owner of this building has often called the elevator factory to report for repairs since half a year ago, saying that the elevator door will always open when no one is there, and the elevator car can fall 11 Sometimes there are only 2 people standing, but when the third person comes in, it will call the police for being overweight."

"What time is this video?"

Mingming looked at his watch, "It was just a few minutes ago."

Xia Youjie's face was serious, "Ting Yin didn't notice anything around her at all, it's too dangerous, let's stop this exam."

"Are you sure? The cute school girl might be angry with you."

"Then you have to be alive to be angry. I'll go in to meet her. Where's Senior Sister Mingming?"

"I'll stay outside. In case someone from a higher level comes over, I'll help you hold it back. It's rare to meet such a generous junior, so we can't let her be inside."

"Okay, thank you."

The two walked towards the examiner.

After hearing Xia Youjie's appeal to stop the exam again, Shangcun's chief examiner still did not agree, and even said sarcastically, "Why, do you just not trust your classmates? Young people nowadays are really getting more and more narrow-minded."

"No matter what you say, I will go in. This is not a request."

Xia Youjie ignored the examiner and walked into the tent, but the tent was blocked.The tents usually set up will only block ordinary people who cannot see the magic spirit.

Jie turned his head to look at the other examiner who was maintaining the tent with a bad expression.

The man was taken aback by Jie's fierce eyes, and he hesitated, "This is for the safety of the surrounding..."

Xia Youjie summoned a huge first-level curse spirit, "You can choose to take the initiative to untie the tent, or the tent will be untied automatically after you die."

"But, Mr. Uemura..." The man looked at the examiner for help.

The chief examiner of Shangcun was full of anger, but he couldn't beat Xia Youjie, even if he brought people together, he couldn't beat this young man who was as famous as Gojo Wu in the new generation of magic circle.

Two emotions of anger and jealousy collided in the examiner's body, and he said eccentrically: "Let him in, but the moment you step in, it is equivalent to quitting the exam, and I will report your threat to the examiner... ..."

Xia Youjie was too lazy to listen to his pressure, and stepped in without looking back after the account was changed.

After a while of darkness, Xia Youjie found himself in the lobby on the first floor of the apartment building. The original door was replaced by a wall. I don't know if it was the curse inside the building or the old orange outside, or both. Both.

There was no one on the first floor. Xia Youjie came to the elevator hall and walked to the elevator to observe carefully.The camera inside can be seen through the glass door, well, this is the elevator that Hino is riding in the surveillance video.

"Ding-"

"The fifth floor is here."

The elevator descends slowly from above to the first floor, and the camera in the elevator compartment can be seen through the glass door. Well, this is the elevator that Hino is riding in the surveillance video.

The door opened slowly, and Xia Youjie felt that the elevator was like a monster with its mouth open, inviting him to walk in.Although there was nothing inside, the monitoring screen reflected on the wall monitor was also clean. The rotten grimace was gone, and it seemed that he had left the elevator with Hino.

Hino Tingyin must be on a certain floor upstairs, Xia Youjie decided to search up the floor, so he pushed open the door of the stairwell and ran up to the second floor.

The door of 201 was not closed tightly, Xia Youjie summoned a level 2 curse spirit to enter the door to investigate, but the connection was cut off after the curse spirit entered.

The inside of the door was pitch black, and even looking through the crack of the door, one could not get any clues; leaning against the door to listen, there was silence inside.

Xia Youjie let out a breath, his whole body tensed up and entered the state of preparation, and he stretched out his hand to push open the door of 201.

As soon as he stepped into the door, there was a burst of darkness and dizziness. Jie closed his eyes and opened them again after the dizziness disappeared.

Looking at the very familiar porch in front of him, Xia Youjie couldn't believe it, so he froze in place without any movement.

Familiar conversations came from inside the room, followed by footsteps, a figure passed the front of the hallway to the other side of the living room, then the footsteps stopped, and then fell back.

A beautiful and gentle middle-aged woman turned towards the door and said in surprise, "Jie, are you back so early? The baseball club didn't practice today?"

"Mom... what baseball?" Jie responded subconsciously, but still didn't believe the scene in front of him.

The woman walked towards Xia Youjie, reached out to touch his forehead, "Your face is ugly, are you feeling unwell? Do you have a fever?"

"It's okay, I'm fine." Xia Youjie avoided the hand, firmly believing that it was all an illusion.

But the woman in front of her, who looked exactly like her mother, showed a worried expression, "Did something happen at school? I heard from Mrs. Murata nearby that a new female manager has joined the baseball club. She is a transfer student from your class. Is it called Hino?" Ting Yin?"

Hearing the familiar name, Xia Youjie grabbed the shoulder of the person in front of him, "How do you know Hino Tingyin?"

"Didn't she write you a love letter, and put it on your desk. I didn't read it on purpose. The envelope fell by the dining table yesterday, and there was no signature on the cover. I only checked the beginning, and didn't read all of it... It hurts, Jie, you pinched it too tightly." The woman made a pained expression.

"Sorry." Xia Youjie let go of his hand immediately, and quickly ran to his room in his memory.

Opening the door, the inside is a replica of his own room, even the position of the ink spot on the curtain that he accidentally threw is exactly the same.

There was a familiar pink envelope on the desk, Xia Youjie took out the letter paper inside and started.

"Mr. Xia You:

First time contact, hello, my name is Tingyin Hino.

I'm sorry for writing you so abruptly, but you'll be shocked when you encounter such a thing, right?

I am a transfer student who just came to class A of the first year a month ago. When I stood by the podium to introduce myself and saw Xia Youjun sitting by the window for the first time, my heart felt as if I was hit by something Started bouncing.

After seeing Mr. Xia You every day, I would feel nervous for no reason.Xia Youjun is the first person who made me feel this way.

How to solve this situation, I really don't know what to do.

Every time after school, although I always wanted to talk to you, but I really couldn't do it... So, I took the courage to write this letter.

I'm really sorry for bothering you so suddenly.

I would be glad if you would be my friend first. "

How do you look at it... are they all love letters?

No, no!

Although Hino did give himself a pink envelope, inside was... yes, what?

"Jie, do you want stewed beef or fried pork belly with wild vegetables for dinner?" Mom's voice came from outside the door.

Xia Youjie was stunned in front of the desk, his mind was in a mess, and he heard himself reply: "Stew the beef, put more potatoes."
