Chapter 14 Thirteen, Mr. S's Confession

I moved the bottle containing Mr. S to the windowsill. That night, Mr. S began to build a complicated nest in the bottle.While pulling out the long white strands behind his buttocks, he worked diligently up, down, left, and right, which made me and Meixiang dumbfounded. "Good job!" "Yes, it's amazing!" "Mr. S, who did you learn this skill from?" I asked. Mr. S shuttled back and forth among the vertical wires, and said foolishly: "Of course, we worms are all very busy when we are alive. Parents don't have time to teach their children. If I have that time, I will starve to death. "

As he spoke, Mr. S laughed softly. "Speaking of death again—hehe, it's unlucky." My mood was extremely complicated, but I nodded anyway. "Mr. S who turned into a spider also has a mother?" Mei Xiang asked. Mr. S carefully checked the part where the silk intersected with the tip of his toes, and replied indifferently: "I don't know either. When I woke up this morning, I found myself walking in your yard." "Then Mr. S was born in our yard?" "It seems like this—ah, why is it loose here..." Mr. S focused on building the nest, and seemed to have no interest in talking to us.

"It looks like it's about to be done." Mika agrees with me.But Mr. S didn't seem to want to stop at all.There was no other way, Meixiang and I had no choice but to start discussing the future. "Anyway, it's going to be bad if mom sees it." "Where are you going to hide it?" "That's right. Even the bottle—how about hiding it in my schoolbag? When we're not at home, I put Mr. S's bottle in my schoolbag, and I don't need it during summer vacation anyway." "Well, but... I saw my mother peeking at my brother's schoolbag..."

"Huh? What? While I'm away?" "Yeah. But it'll be covered soon." I feel bad for a while.Although there is nothing ulterior in my schoolbag, it still feels uncomfortable to be peeped by others casually like this. "How about this. The big drawer under the table, in the lower right corner, just put it there, with a lock. Okay, so the hiding place is solved. Next, ah, right, what about the food? ?” "Catch flies, ants, etc. in the yard." "Can something like that work? I said Mr. S, can you eat flies and ants?" Finally, we were about to move into the built nest, Mr. S didn't even look at us, and just responded casually: "Okay. We can eat."

When the hands of the clock pointed to ten o'clock, Mr. S's nest was finally built.The nest was built in the upper middle of the jam jar, and there was no flaw in the smallest detail.Countless long strands criss-cross and tangled together, it is really perfect.However, if there is any difference between this nest now and the one thirty minutes ago, I really can't tell.Definitely like rolling a snowball or building a poker castle, it's not done until the builder says "it's done!" Satisfied, Mr. S squatted on the edge of the newly hung nest, shaking his body to test the strength of the silk.

"Master Daoist, Xiao Meixiang, I kept you waiting for a long time! Alright, now we can talk properly." Mr. S is much more cheerful now than when he was alive. "Don't you have a lot of things you want to ask me?" "Yes, many, many." I took Mr. S's bottle from the window sill and put it on the floor, and sat down cross-legged, facing Mr. S. "Well, first of all..." First, of course, is to ask our biggest question so far. "Mr. S, your body—what's going on?" "How do I know." Mr. S replied listlessly, but his voice was very sharp.

"Because the moment you die, there is darkness in front of your eyes. But generally speaking, the next step is not to go to the crematorium to be cremated, and then burned to ashes and buried in the grave?" "Usually, that's the case. But, I'm asking Mr. S—hmm..." I suddenly figured it out. "That's right, Mr. S, it's impossible for you to know." Come to think of it, it really is. How could Mr. S himself know where Mr. S's body went after his death? "Yes indeed." Meixiang sighed.I also hung my head in disappointment.We always thought that as long as we asked him himself, the mystery of the disappearance of Mr. S's body would all be revealed.

As if aware of our unusual attitude, Mr. S suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I said, you, don't you..." Mr. S hesitated for a while, as if trying to find the right words.Finally, he asked tentatively, "Could it be that my body is missing?" I didn't speak, just nodded.Then Mr. S yelled loudly "Hey hey hey hey", I was so scared that I almost jumped up and quickly covered the bottle with my palm.However, Mr. S was still screaming in the bottle. "Quiet! Mr. S, please!" I didn't take my palm away until Mr. S stopped screaming. "That's what happened..." I said.

Mei Xiang continued: "Mr. S's body is gone." Mr. S was silent for a while at the end of his new home.Finally, finally hesitating to say these words.These words brought me a major shock just like witnessing Mr. S hanged a week ago.No, maybe this time I was hit harder. "That guy must have killed me and then stole my body..." The whole room suddenly fell silent. Mei Xiang was the first to break the silence. "Then, Mr. S was killed?" Mr. S said lightly, "Didn't I tell you that?" Then he started talking to himself again. "That bastard, always doing some perverted things..."

"Mr. S, I said Mr. S..." Finally coming back to my senses, I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and decided to confirm the most important thing. "Mr. S committed suicide, right?" Mr. S suddenly stared at me from the bottle. "How could I kill myself? I was killed!" "Who is it..." Mr. S said firmly, "I was killed by Mr. Iwamura."
