Chapter 8 Chapter 7 Alcohol Concentration About 5%

As soon as I lowered my head, the spine rose up as if trying to break through the brain and rush out of the throat, and my whole body twitched accordingly. I hugged the toilet and started to vomit. Of course, because the grains of rice were not touched, all I spit out was white foam. A burst of soreness penetrated the fundus of the eyes, the gastric juice was like a knife cutting the esophagus, and the feet were as soft as guessing sea cucumbers, and they could not feel the reaction force of the floor. Just now I had a premonition that the first wave was approaching, so I hurriedly covered my mouth and rushed to the toilet; now, after vomiting for nearly five minutes, there is no foam left in my stomach, but the vomiting still feels like a living snake, coiling and crawling in my chest.

Usually I drink and eat very little, and I am used to foaming at the mouth; but tonight, even if I want to have some side dishes to go with the wine, I can't get it, but I drink like usual, so I will taste the pain I have never experienced before. I thought about it in my mind, I will continue to drink when I go back to my room... I have completely resigned to my fate. Sometimes I ask myself, why do I have to drink so painfully?But the answer is always the same: because I am obsessed with wine. It was my doom to meet Senior Piao after entering university.Of course, everyone has their own karma, and I wouldn't say that Senior Piao Pao forced me to drink with him.

It's just that drinking with the seniors did trigger a multiplier effect—or should we say mutual vicious influence.If one person drinks alone, he may still be able to control himself; but when two people drink together, they often lose their sense of proportion-I don't know how many times I have experienced such nights.And tonight, among the banquets that lost their proportions, can be classified as the worst level. The impression that Senior Floating gives people on campus is that he is always in an impetuous state, energetic and noisy; this is naturally true, but I think he is actually a person who is afraid of loneliness.He always likes to find a group of people to drink and have fun, which is the evidence; even though the rent is surprisingly cheap, just because he is still a student, he rented a single-family house near the university as a student meeting place, which can also give a glimpse of his true nature.

It's just that people in the world are not necessarily as leisurely as the seniors, nor are they always eager to have fun like him; therefore, when he enthusiastically expresses that he is going to have a grand banquet, no one usually pays attention to him. At this time, the senior's 'insurance' is me.I'm different from Senior Piaopao, I'm not someone who can't drink without company or doesn't want to drink; I can have fun alone or with a group.Of course, it goes without saying that even if someone I don't know very well invites me, I won't refuse; anyway, when no one invites me, I still think about it every night.

A man who never refuses—this is why I am valued by the seniors.Because we always hang out, people in the school mistakenly think that my senior and I are best friends; but to put it bluntly, the only interaction between us is drinking. Therefore, alcohol, especially beer, is absolutely indispensable when I am with Senior Piao.Of course, I fell into this quagmire voluntarily, and I have no complaints about it. Although I didn't complain, when I finally let go of the toilet and stood up, shaking my drowsy head to rinse my mouth, I couldn't help but question what I was doing.He said that he didn't blame Senior Piaopao, but in his heart he felt that he would die by the side of the road one day if he continued to hang out with him, which is really useless.Perhaps senior drifting is also worried that if he continues to associate with me, he will degenerate endlessly!

I subconsciously looked for toilet paper to wipe my mouth, but the roll was empty. By the way, this is not the house or izakaya where I usually stay all day——I was thinking so while taking out my handkerchief; at this moment, I suddenly had a strange idea. Of course I understand that this villa won't have toilet paper, it's weird to have someone - wait a minute. The first-floor room with the bed... what about the toilet there?Will there be toilet paper? Certainly not.If so, someone is bound to find out and make a fuss; especially girls are unlikely to overlook these details.Both Xiaotu and Gaoqian used their own tissues to wash their hands. If they found toilet paper, they would probably use it. It should have been mentioned earlier.

Although I thought so, I couldn't help being curious; after leaving the toilet on the second floor, I didn't go back to the room directly, but chose to go downstairs to have a look. Of course, there is no special reason for doing so; reluctantly speaking, it is because of the influence of Xiaotu's "trickster theory" just now. For example, when the victim of a prank wakes up, it's not a problem to be without food around because the prank doesn't last long.By the same token, it doesn't matter if you don't have a shower towel or a change of clothes. But toilet paper is different. There is no guarantee that the victim will not want to go to the toilet when he wakes up; maybe he has no time to be surprised by the empty villa and just wants to go to the bathroom first.What if there is no toilet paper at this time?

Judging by common sense, this kind of prank, which takes pleasure in peeking at the bewildered and flustered state of the victim, has no lasting reason; but this plan can be said to be a lot of work, and it will not be easily ended.From the standpoint of a prankster, if it is not maintained for a period of time to increase the uneasiness of the victim, the effect of the prank will be weakened. But what if the victim couldn't hold back during this time?Forgive me for such a dirty subject, but this is a matter of human dignity that cannot be joked about; and if an irreparable situation occurs, it cannot be resolved with a joke after the fact.

If the perpetrator had been careful, he might have left the toilet paper behind without a trace—the thought suddenly came to my mind. Of course, everyone has searched the entire villa before, and it is unlikely that there is toilet paper.After all, it is meaningless to put things where they cannot be easily found; even if they are left in advance, if the victim fails to find them in time, it will be ridiculous at that time. While thinking, I walked into the room with the bed and turned on the light.Of course, the room is empty now. After checking the sink and bathroom next door, I checked the toilet, and it was empty.At this time, I reached out to touch the toilet paper roll-"Hey..." I couldn't help but yelled.

To be on the safe side, I opened the top cover of the reel, and I was surprised when I saw it.There is paper, but the weight is not much, and it can only be used two or three times at most. Since the thickness is almost the same as that of an empty roll, it is completely covered by the cover; or maybe we have decided that this is an empty house, and we have already made up our minds when we checked the toilet, so we ignored the roll of toilet paper. All in all, this is a pretty significant 'discovery'.I removed the web and took it back to the second floor. As soon as I got back to the room on the second floor, I found that the atmosphere at the scene was quite familiar, and Xiaotu rolled on the floor laughing.

"—How is it possible! Senior, really!" Xiaotu opened a can of new wine again, and the beer in the glass was foaming like whipped cream, barely overflowing; she sipped the glass carelessly, completely unaware of the foam sticking to her nose like a white beard. Before I knew it, I stretched out my long tongue to lick it after a while.Judging from this drinking method, her self-control seems to have gradually failed. Looking carefully, only Xiaotu and Senior Piaopao are familiar with each other, but Gao Qian is already sleeping soundly against the wall; perhaps it is because the mystery of the villa has fallen into a stalemate, which makes him relax.She seemed to be feeling cold, she hugged her body with both hands, and wrinkled her brows in distress. Although the room is quite stuffy, but this is in the mountains after all, maybe it will turn cold at dawn; thinking of this, I lifted the sheet and covered Gao Qian. "Ah! Carpenter Zai is so gentle!" Xiaotu's face was full of joy with red eyes hanging down. "I knew it!" I have absolutely no idea what she's talking about.Speaking of which, I remember that Xiaotu would giggle when she drank alcohol; she seemed to be very drunk when she was in a social relationship before, so she laughed all night.The reason why I say 'as if' is because I was mostly drunk when I was in the friendship, and my memory is vague. "Oh? When did Gao Qian fall asleep?" Hearing the senior's tone, he didn't realize that Gao Qian was asleep at all; from this, the senior was also quite drunk. "Why don't you take her to bed." Is it really okay to touch Gaoqian like this?While I was hesitating, Senior Piaopao actually said something that was impossible to say in the past four days. "Why don't Jiang Zai sleep with her!" "Ah! Good! Good!" Xiaotu took advantage of the situation and booed. "Yes!" Where is it good? "What were you guys talking about?" If it's funny enough to make you laugh out loud, I'll ask them to share it so I can share the joy. "I see you guys are having a good time talking." "Ah! That's right, that's right, Carpenter, that's really a masterpiece!" I didn't say anything, but Xiaotu offered me a can of beer and a beer glass. "Senior's new hypothesis is really wonderful!" "New hypothesis? About the mystery of the villa?" "Of course! Hey, hey, do you know what the senior said? He said that this house might be a base for thieves!" "The thief's?" Is it that ridiculous? "That's too luxurious, isn't it?" "Because the thief is very rich!" "that's it?" "Don't worry, the best show is yet to come! This thief specializes in stealing beer." "Stealing beer—so he doesn't steal anything other than beer?" "Yes, and then, and then, he stole beer again and again, just to fill the house with beer." "It does not make sense?" "And he is about to start collecting the stolen beer now. As for why he puts the beer in this room? Because he plans to put it on the second floor first, the more stuff the better." "You're not going to say that the thief put the beer in the closet not to hide it, but to use the space efficiently—" "bingo!" "What the hell!" Thank goodness I listened so carefully.Hearing her describe it as a masterpiece, I also guessed that the content should be quite unimaginable, but I didn't expect it to be so absurd.I was really drunk after seeing the senior and the little rabbit. "But, but, the real sharpness is yet to come! Ah! Hey, Carpenter! Don't stare, listen to me!" "I'm listening!" "Why do you think the thief only stole beer?" "Who knows? You don't think it's because he likes beer?" "No! The correct answer is because there happens to be a lot of beer nearby that can be stolen!" "Nearby...?" I can't take it for granted, so I changed my attitude. "Where is nearby?" "This is the area!" "Wait, this area? Could it be the R plateau?" "yes!" "Huh? Why is there a lot of beer on the R plateau? Well, is this area a famous beer producing area?" "No! The answer is pasture." "pasture?" "Didn't we also see it? There are a bunch of food cattle in the pasture." "so what?" "So! With so many cows, there must be a lot of beer." "You mean..." I had another foreboding—again I'd regret listening so seriously. "The thief to steal the beer stock that feeds the cows?" "bingo!" "Stupid, stupid to the extreme!" "Huh? Will it? It's quite reasonable!" "It's unreasonable!" "Really! Cattlemen feed their cattle with beer! This makes the meat more tender." "I know, but I've seen beer-feeding on TV, and it's all bottled." "Bottled beer?" "Yes, put the mouth of the bottle like this—" I made a gesture of clamping the slender object from both sides. "Put it in the cow's mouth, and the cow will gulp down it, understand?" "Isn't that a can of beer?" "I don't know if it will work, but the shows I've seen don't use canned beer." "It should be fine!" Senior Piao Pao's attitude was contrary to this sentence, and he was not persistent in his own assumptions; it seemed that he was just joking from the beginning. "Let's try it out next time!" "Hey! How are we going to try? When is the next time?" Even after listening to the whole text, I still didn't laugh, and I felt their joy even more.Even if it's a joke, it's not hilarious. But Xiaotu and Senior Piaopao still giggled and laughed unsatisfactorily.It is not so much that the two of them are drunk (I am not inferior to them in terms of drunkenness), but it is because of the atmosphere of the scene; if I did not leave the banquet, but listened to this strange story at the scene, maybe I would laugh so hard Better than them. The jokes during the banquet are like sashimi, which is not delicious if you don't eat it on the spot.Thinking about it this way, I feel like I missed the good show. "Okay! Alright! Let's put this topic aside for now—Jiang Zai, what are you holding in your hand?" "Huh? Ah, this is—" I actually forgot that I was holding the roll. "The toilet paper I just found..." Wow!A scream that froze my blood suddenly interrupted my explanation... Whose scream was it? It was actually myself. In the horror movies I watched before, there was a scene where a character was suddenly pulled into the ground by the hand outstretched from the ground when paying homage to the mausoleum. Because my arm was suddenly grabbed. Of course, the hand at this time was not from the ground, but stretched out from behind the tangled sheets; the one who grabbed my arm was not a zombie, but Gao Qian, who seemed to be still half asleep, like a nearsighted person looking for glasses He squinted his eyes carefully; his usual beauty was already very powerful, but this squinting of his eyes made him look even more murderous. "High... high, high, high high..." "Don't be tall! Really." She let go of my arm and lazily brushed up her hair. "From your reaction just now, I already know exactly how you see me." "I, I, I, I was just taken aback." To put it bluntly, I am still a soft-legged shrimp. "I thought you were sleeping..." "It's not important, don't worry about it." She snatched the toilet paper from me, "Where did you find this?" "downstairs." "what?" "It's in the toilet in the room where the bed is." While I was describing the details, Gao Qian also seemed to be fully awake; she put the sheet she was wearing back on the bed and resumed her usual expression.Lost in thought. It turned out that although she fell asleep just now, her body reacted to the new "evidence" on its own.I suddenly felt surprised, what made Gao Qian so obsessed with solving puzzles?Where did her enthusiasm come from? The impression that Gao Qian gave me was as cold as ice; of course, not only me, but also the students and professors in the school should have the same impression. She is indifferent by nature, as if there is nothing in the world that can arouse her interest; at best, she is detached, at worst, she is withdrawn.With her slender limbs, she must have been invited to join a volleyball or basketball team; and with a deep profile, it is not surprising even if she is advertised as having European and American ancestry.This peculiar appearance may be an important factor that makes her appear abrupt and isolated in the group. There is also her taste in clothing. She always wears strange costumes that can only be seen in avant-garde stage plays. Perhaps as early as the beginning of entering university, she made up her mind not to make half a friend—Gao Qian was so difficult to get close to, one could not help guessing like this. The one who broke through this iron wall was the senior; it was he who shortened the word 'Takase Chiho' to 'Gao Qian', and imposed this uncreative and untie nickname on her. I bet, Takachi... No, Takase Chiho actually hates people calling her Takachi, but she just can't do anything about it; no matter how disgusted she is on her face, she swears from the bottom of her mouth, and even kicks her heart with the tip of her high heels. The seniors were neither in pain nor itching, and they still pestered her cheekily, screaming high and high.This kind of tenacity, which is commensurate with perseverance but too brazen, finally made Gao Qian raise his hand and surrender, and he could only let him pester him endlessly. Xiaotu and I will be in contact with Gaoqian, and it is also thanks to the blessing of senior Piaobao.I don’t know how Xiaotu is. At least I haven’t left the bridge of seniors, so I definitely won’t be able to get to know Gaoqian; maybe I won’t have a chance to talk to Gaoqian until I graduate from university. In this way, Gao Qian and the people around Senior Piaojia are talking about "friends" temporarily, but she does not change her attitude, she is still indifferent to others and world affairs, and always puts on a defensive grin. This kind of Gaoqian occasionally reveals the innocent face of an ordinary female college student; it is when she is addicted to 'solving puzzles'. I don't know what kind of puzzles Gao Qian is interested in; however, once she becomes interested, she will think about it.Repeated inferences appear lively. She was very attractive at this time.Let me describe it like this - usually she is like a 'woman without the lower body', but because her facial features are too correct, she exudes a terrifying aura like a dummy; but now it is like magic, making her a living person. Of course, I'm not the only one who feels this way, Senior Piaopao and Xiaotu have also become captives of her charm.We are so active in discussing the mystery of beer, on the one hand, it is out of curiosity; but the biggest reason is that we want to get in touch with the vibrant Gaoqian. At least I am.This feeling intensifies every time I think about the passion that brought Gao Qian to life. "—So," Gao Qian looked at the toilet paper roll carefully, as if studying an unearthed ancient relic. "The planner not only left the man in the villa, but also considered the toilet issue for him." "Huh? Gao Qian, what do you mean?" Xiaotu blinked suspiciously. "Hasn't the whole person been rejected?" "yes!" "That……" "I didn't say that the planner planned a prank game. Although I don't know who it is, this bed is for someone, and this roll of toilet paper is prepared for him—this idea should be correct, right? " "Yeah!" Senior Piaopao agreed solemnly. "It's hardly a coincidence that the toilet paper was in the room with the bed." "As Jiang Zai just said, the person who uses this bed cannot stay in this villa for a long time. Let's call the person who uses this bed a 'little bed', and the person who stays here is called a 'little stay'— —” "What's the name?" "It doesn't matter what the name is. 'Xiaoliu' didn't intend to keep the 'Little Bed' in this villa forever. From the fact that he prepared toilet paper, it can be seen that he has no intention of harming the 'Little Bed'; , you won’t consider the toilet issue for the cot.” "Oh, yes!" "This means that if the 'Xiaoliu' intends to keep the 'Little Bed' here for a long time, he will definitely prepare food and other daily necessities; however, there are no appealing supplies here at all, only a little toilet paper is placed in the toilet without a trace, which just proves that' The cot' was only a short stay at the villa." "So that's what happened, that's what happened!" "Then specifically, how long will you stay?" "Hmm..." Senior Piaopao crossed his arms in thought while staring at the toilet paper, as if there were secret signs drawn on it. "—Should it be a few hours? It can't be more than half a day at most, and it can't be more than a day. Just like what Carpenter said just now, judging from the amount of toilet paper left, it can be so long at most." "But it's not a trick, what could it be?" Xiaotu seemed to still be attached to his hypothesis, tilting his head and said, "The more it sounds, the more it looks like a preparation for a trick!" "This is not a normal prank, because the 'cot' is supposed to be a child." "Child?" "Why do you look incredible? Little Rabbit, you just pointed out that the pillows and bed sheets are all cartoon patterns, and used this to speculate that the user belongs to a child. Isn't it you?" "That's what I said, but at that time, I was just saying it to cooperate with the kidnapping!" "Even if the kidnapping is not true, there is no need to discard the possibility of 'the user is a child'. In short, assuming that the 'small bed' is a child, the possibility of the person being raped is even lower; because while someone is asleep The 'Xiaoliu' who secretly moved him to the empty villa must be an adult." "That's right, you have to drive after all!" "Do you think a dignified adult would go to such lengths to tease a child?" "Generally not, but it's not impossible! There are many naive adults in the world." "I admit this, but the reason for adults to stage this kind of farce on children should be more practical than pranks." "Huh? What is it?" "Punishment." "Punishment?" Little Rabbit murmured as if hearing a brand name he had never heard before: "Punishment...you mean spanking, deducting pocket money, or being locked up in a warehouse to punish children for disobedience." of that kind?" "Hey, hey, put it in the warehouse? It's too individual!" I don't know if Xiaotu's statement is too ridiculous, or the habit of laughing just now has not been eliminated?I saw Senior Piaopao actually bursting into laughter: "I see, you have had actual experience!" "I don't know if it's a boy or a girl; in short, try to imagine a child under the age of ten," Gao Qian seemed to be infected with a smile, and the corners of his mouth bloomed in a rare way. "That child is naturally mischievous, loves to play pranks, gets into trouble all day long, and makes parents troubled; simply put, he is similar to Xiao Piao when he was a child." "What?! Have you ever seen me as a child? Forget it, you said 'Little Bed', right?" "Yes, Xiao'Xiaoliu' are the parents. As for the father, mother or both parents, I can't be sure; in short, they are the parents of the child." "The parents left the child in this villa?" Xiaotu was dubious. "Just to punish him?" "Well, that's probably what the parents said to the child——Xiaoyou, if you are disobedient, mom and dad will leave Xiaoyou and disappear!" "Why is it called Xiaoyou! Why!" The handsome senior whose real name is Yusuke is branded as a bad boy, and looks unhappy. "What's the matter? It's just a pseudonym! But of course Xiaoyou doesn't believe it. He is a cunning child and knows that his parents are just scaring him." "Hey, hey, what is cunning? When I was a child, I was the representative of innocence, an out-and-out beautiful young girl—" "Don't interrupt! But the parents are playing for real this time. They think that if they don't take good care of it now, they will become more and more lawless in the future, so they decided to really 'disappear' for the children to see. To be precise, it is not the parents who disappeared. , but a child who was sent to this villa." "Then the parents secretly drove the child here while he was asleep?" I couldn't help but think of low-cost suspense films. "The next morning, the child woke up in bed and was shocked to find the family was empty and empty...but—" "But what? Craftsman?" "Well, I understand what you mean, but I wonder if his parents will really exaggerate like this?" "So didn't I say it? His parents are playing for real this time." "Even if it's for real, it's a big project to move all the furniture out of the house! It's not solved after moving out, but you have to find a place to keep it temporarily..." As he spoke, a question suddenly stuck in his throat like a fishbone ; but it slipped away again before I could grasp the exact outline. "—Looking for a moving company and borrowing a warehouse will cost a lot of money! Even if it's for disciplining children, would any parent be so exaggerated?" "Jiang Zai, please be sober! These words have no cause at all! Think back to our previous discussion." "Our previous discussion?" "This villa has just been completed." "In a word..." I finally understood what Gao Qian said. "Furniture and luggage haven't moved in—?" "That's right, this place has just been built, and it will be officially used after a while; Xiaoyou's parents are taking advantage of this good opportunity." "Please, Gao Qian, don't use the word Xiaoyou anymore, okay?" "But, but," Xiaotu pouted dissatisfiedly: "This is no different from my 'tricking people'!" "why?" "Then there's no need to ask? Beer! How do we explain beer? If we can't explain it, our assumptions are half the same; no, my assumption at least explains beer, Gao Qian's has nothing!" "Okay, okay——" Gao Qian's smile became more and more innocent. "That's the problem."
