Quanzai Cone

【Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--】

The laughter that continued in my mind for half an hour still didn't stop, and I was so annoyed that I screamed desperately in my consciousness.

[You are not finished! 】

The boy who got a new map continued to rummage inside and out to find clues. His proficiency was like a professional in criminal investigation. Surrounded by a pile of ammunition, I didn't dare to move. I sat awkwardly on the only single sofa in the "living room" down.

The girl's voice that suddenly appeared in my mind shortly after I stepped into the living room let out a goose cry of laughter, and mocked me without any face: [Hahahahaha... I can laugh at what just happened just now, hahaha, for the rest of my life!That guy Dazai also has today!You're going to turn yourself in, poof. 】

She laughed so hard that I completely forgot my ten-year-shrunk body and lost memory, I let out a couple of hehes with no expression on my face.

[As a law-abiding citizen, what's wrong with asking the authorities for help? 】

[Pfft. 】The girl finally calmed down and became confused again, 【Let's put it this way, based on your current case record, if the judge sentenced you to death and executed it immediately, it must be the top bribery case this year. 】

I choked up.

...What the hell have I done in the past ten years!Calm down, find a time machine first——

I slapped my forehead with a "slap", and I took a deep breath as if I lacked oxygen, trying to calm down.

[Leave that alone,] I muttered, [The question now is, who are you? 】

Although it is very strange that there are other people's voices talking to me in my mind, but forget it, don't worry about these trivial things.I thought numbly.

[Eh~] The girl became unhappy for a moment.

As she elongated her tone in displeasure, an irresistible force suddenly tightened my consciousness, pulling me into the lightless darkness.The spiral corridor shaped like a prison came into my dizzy sight, and the red-haired girl sitting on the outer railing leaned over and stretched out her hand, pressing the back of my head and pressing her face close.

"Why—" Her dark eyes were piercing, as if she was being coquettish or angry: "I still have to introduce myself to you!"

I uncomfortably raised my head to avoid her, and said speechlessly, "...but I don't remember anything."

In terms of anger, the boy who was kicked out of bed by me as a stranger even though he was already sleeping together would have a better position to say this.Thanks to him also losing his memory, otherwise my first task would be to solve the relationship crisis.

The girl frowned, ground her teeth, and pushed me away bitterly.I took a staggering step, seeing her staggeringly sitting on the hollowed-out railing, kicking her legs, completely ignoring the bottomless void behind her, I couldn't help being a little startled.

"Hey, why don't you come down first? What if you fall?"

The girl in jk uniform pursed her lips indifferently, her black pleated skirt fluttered up and down with her knees.

"You can't die even if you fall." She leaned on the railing and lowered her waist, her upper body turned completely to the outside, her curly long hair hanging down like a waterfall, "This is the space of consciousness. As spiritual bodies, we cannot be "fallen die'."

With a slightly distorted voice echoing, she suddenly laughed, pulled her body up with her waist, and reached out to me: "Let's jump off! This is more enjoyable than a real roller coaster jumping machine!"

I silently pasted the wall on the inner side, trying to stay away from her who was quite nervous, and politely refused: "No, no, thank you."

The girl narrowed her eyes.

I felt bad: "Don't force people to jump off the building, it's against the law!"

Before she recklessly grabbed my collar, a big hand reached out and grabbed her slender wrist.

"Tch, come to be a good man again, 'Old Father'?" The girl with a gloomy face pulled her hands away and took two steps back, crossing her arms around her chest.

The man standing in front of me, who was so tightly wrapped up in the heavily armed black combat uniform that he couldn't even see his face, said gently: "Even if you don't die, you will feel the same pain as falling from the building. No. [-], don't Play such a dangerous game."

The person being persuaded was very impatient and choked coldly: "Don't command me in such a disgusting tone. Do you really think you are our 'father'? My father was sunk in Yokohama Port seven years ago!"

Before I understood the information given in the girl's words, the man who blocked me lowered his voice.

"No. [-]!" He became serious, "Don't tell this kid!"

"'Child'?" The girl seemed to have heard some ridiculous joke, and raised her eyebrows to look at me. "When this 'child' cleared the space of consciousness, it was only three years older than it is now—there is no need for you foreign personalities to be pitiful!"

I listened blankly to their argument, and when I met the girl's sharp eyes, my eyes couldn't help drifting away for a moment.

She gave a "tsk" and said annoyedly: "...Don't treat her as a weak person who needs protection." Before she finished speaking, she jumped onto the railing in two or three steps, and jumped into the darkness.

The man who couldn't stop the girl because of hesitation fell silent for a moment, then turned to face me.

Tall and strong, he stood in front of me like a hill, full of pressure.I looked up at him with some difficulty, and in the next second, he bent his knees and squatted down, changing to a position where he only looked down at me.

"Sorry, I had a messy quarrel, you must be very confused." The man squatted down like a hugging bear, and explained softly, "This is your consciousness space, we... are outsiders."

He briefly introduced to me the supernatural ability "Mind Reading" that I have mastered, and continued to explain when I was in a daze to reconstruct the three views: "Among all the personalities, 'No. [-]' is the most special one."

I blinked and stared at him.

"She is formed from a part of your consciousness mixed with other...spiritual fragments." The man vaguely omitted a few words, "The personality is a bit extreme, but she is very dependent on you."

rely?Not very obvious.However, that's why we say "we", in a sense it's a person...

I nodded and asked about the sentence that caused their dispute: "'Shen corpse'...what does it mean? How is Dad?"

The man was silent, and spoke slowly after a while.

"Your parents have been dead for seven years. Many things have happened..."

"It's not a natural death." It's strange, my voice is very calm.

The response paused: "Under threat, I committed suicide—but the enemy has already been solved by you."

"I understand."

"...Xunguang?" The man observed me carefully, probably afraid that I would cry.

But instead I smiled at him and scratched my hair: "I won't cry. After all, I don't feel anything real! I don't remember these things at all. Everything that happened today is like a dream."

If I go home now, I can see my father who is busy cooking and my mother who is writing materials in the living room.There is no reason to have this illusion, because I only said good night to them before going to bed last night——

It's really strange, how did the ordinary life that should be seen at a glance come to where it is today?

"I don't remember. All." Looking down at his empty hands, he couldn't help but clenched them tightly.

"Those years were bad things," the man softened his tone and comforted me, "It's rare to forget, so don't rush to think about it."

Hearing this, the photo of the two of them suddenly flashed through my mind.The women in the picture have grown into what I longed for, strong, calm, gentle, and have the courage to face all wind and snow.

I look up.

"...No, I think, there are still good things to come."

When the consciousness returned to the body, I was still holding the group photo taken from the bedroom in my hand, and the soft smile of the woman was facing me.Staring at the photo, I slowly burst into a smile.

I don't know when the investigation ended, and the boy who stopped in front of me looked down at me, his iris-colored eyes were as quiet as jewels.

He asked casually, "Where did you go just now?"

I was taken aback, returned him a bright smile, and blurted out: "I heard some information! Zhijun, let me tell you——"

——In the past ten years, it must be Costco.
