Chapter 38 fourth quarter

A sound woke up Reiko. She opened her eyes, not knowing where she was for a moment.She lay there, motionless, staring into the darkness. At first, she thought she was still in the place where she was imprisoned.But there are no men around, and they are clothed.When she was imprisoned, she was often handcuffed and shackled, naked, and slept in the arms of men. She realized that there were no chains on her hands and feet, and she remembered what happened yesterday. There was a moaning sound from the side, the voice was very low, like the muffled groan of a wild animal. She immediately realized it was the city.

The city is haunted.There was something in the moan.Reiko listened quietly.Can't hear something.There seems to be a personal name in it, but I can't hear it clearly. The hut had a window through which pale moonlight streamed in.This faint ray of light was falling on the city's face. Shi closed his eyes tightly, and his eye sockets were sunken. Compared with the face he saw during the day, he looked like another person.His face was thin, with protruding cheekbones. Under the twilight moonlight, this dead face was covered with a layer of obvious distress.His breathing was heavy.

The moaning continued.It was a heavy and vague moan.From time to time, words like names popped out of it. Reiko got up quietly.A sense of sadness echoed in her heart.The city is suffering from the torment of the soul.In his dream, the person he killed as a robber reappeared.He was lying when he said he didn't kill anyone except for money. Nightmare in the city is the strongest proof of this.This is no ordinary nightmare.His groan went down, then up again, and then he writhed and calmed down slowly.Just toss it over and over again. Reiko concluded that this was a brutal murderer.Maybe he killed several people.Not only is he hiding, but he is also trying to find a way to escape in order to guard against daytime raids.

Hearing Ichi's groans, Reiko felt chills all over. It doesn't matter if it's sad or eerie, but it's full of abnormal atmosphere.Those resentful spirits who were killed by the wandering city for robbery persistently pursued the city all the way to Mount Bandai Asahi. Reiko seemed to feel that resentful souls had drifted into this desolate hut with pale moonlight, and stretched out her hand to quietly press down on Shi's chest. Reiko managed to restrain herself from screaming. —should flee. she thinks.If she was with the city, she felt that those resentful souls killed by the city would also take herself as the target of attack.Perhaps after waking up, Shi felt that his sleep talk was heard by others and had to kill to silence it.

Reiko stood up quietly and tiptoed towards the door. The city suddenly stopped moaning.Reiko immediately froze in place. City cried.Reiko thought he was up, that he was crying after waking up.It was a cry that revealed the truth, a man's cry.The crying gradually increased. He sobbed at first, then hissed, and finally turned to howling.The cry was trembling with rough breathing. Under the pale moonlight, the city trembled. Tears overflowed from the sunken eye sockets and flowed down the cheeks. "why why!" The city cried and shouted such a clear sentence. "why!"

His screams shook the night. Immediately the city jumped up.His back was leaning tightly against the board wall, as if he was guarding against something?His eyes peered through the darkness. Reiko froze in shock.She saw cruelty in Shi's quick actions.She tried to fly out of the hut, but her feet wouldn't work.There was a long silence. "Are you there?" The city's voice rustled. "Yes, it is." Reiko replied tremblingly. "Scared you, damn it!" The city's voice dropped.He had stopped crying, as if he had escaped from the entanglement of the wraiths.

Reiko returned to the place where she was lying down.She no longer thought it was the resentful souls killed by the city while he was looting property, taking revenge on him.The city cried in a dream.This crying is heartbreaking.This is not the cry of nightmares.Kashi——!There is a lot of shouting here, and it contains yearning that cannot be achieved no matter what. The city leaned against the wall, and the moonlight shrouded him.I can't see his expression clearly, but I can tell that his whole body is like a deflated ball, lazy and weak. Reiko also leaned against the wall. "Gase, who is it?"

After a while, Reiko asked. "Do I call that name?" "Called."? "Dead. It's my daughter." She answered in a dull voice. "..." Reiko had mixed doubts about what he said. "The robber has a daughter, isn't it ridiculous?" There was self-mockery in the city's voice. "I don't think so." "Is it." The city murmured. "How old were you?" "Fourteen……" "Poor enough." She didn't want to comfort him.Grief cannot be soothed with words.To calm down that kind of heart-wrenching pain, it depends on the passage of time.

"Death is a cruel thing, for disappearing from this world..." "yes." "What happens when you die?" The city didn't seem to ask a question, but just muttered to himself. "Because of illness?" "osteoma." "..." The moonlight moved between Shi and Reiko, faintly printing on the floor. Everything was silent. "Ja Shi, at first I thought it was just a fall, she is a middle school student and joined the basketball team..." The voice was weak and deep.
