Chapter 135 Visit, Lift Your Skull
Chapter 135 Visit, Lift Your Skull
"Kayako, Kujira-kun, over here!"
At the school gate, Chiba Risa was waving from the window of a car.
Jiuzhi Che and Kayako got into the car.
Hideji Makita, sitting in the driver's seat, glanced at the two people in the back seat through the rearview mirror, said nothing, and started the car.
Upon arrival, the group got off the bus one after another.
Ahead is a historic residence with a plaque bearing the name "Makita" hanging in front of the door.
Hideji Makita opened the door and said to Risa Chiba, "This house has been passed down for over a hundred years. It has been renovated and reinforced twice. You even took a look around when you last visited."
Chiba Risa should have been curious; she thought she should be. But the moment she looked at the house, her heart trembled—it was a feeling of unease and resistance.
In the end, she just smiled and didn't mention anything about shopping around some more.
Kayako owns many properties, including two or three that are rumored to be haunted houses. She has visited them all and didn't find them scary, but she doesn't like the house in front of her.
She smelled something rotten.
She wrinkled her nose and moved closer to Jiu Zhiche.
The faint fragrance dispelled the musty smell in her nose, and Kayako felt much more comfortable.
As soon as Jiu Zhiche entered, he smelled the scent of incense, like lavender.
He knew that it was just him and his father at Makita Hideji's house.
Generally speaking, women usually don't use incense at home, but two grown men living together are unusually sentimental and use such a strong incense.
Hideji Makita poured tea for everyone.
After a while, he noticed that no one had drunk anything, and he couldn't help but laugh and say, "You are Li Zuo's classmates and friends, so you are my friends too. Don't be shy, just make yourself at home."
Chiba Risa took a sip of tea.
Kayako is a little lost in thought, wanting to hold hands...
Jiuzhiche's gaze lingered on the stairs for a moment, then he picked up his teacup, brought it to his lips, but then seemed to remember something and put it down.
Hideji Makita, who was standing nearby, stood up. "I also prepared some pastries."
Then he took out small cakes from the refrigerator.
Kayako gradually came to her senses. She thought, "Che likes sweets, so I'll give him some of hers too."
So she picked up the pastry, intending to hand it to Jiuzhiche, but saw him shake his head almost imperceptibly. Kayako paused, then put the pastry back.
A pair of eyes witnessed the process, and a shadow of gloom flashed across their faces.
Chiba Risa didn't have much of an appetite, but it was still her "boyfriend" who brought it out, and it would be too disrespectful for her not to eat any of it.
So she scooped out a small spoonful and tasted it.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
A sound, not loud but clear enough for everyone to hear, came from upstairs. It sounded like something was being smashed against a wall or colliding with something.
"It's my father!" Makita Hideji explained. "He has difficulty walking and can only stay in bed. Sometimes when he calls me, it makes a noise. Excuse me, everyone, please excuse me for a moment."
He went upstairs with a smile on his face.
Chiba Risa let out a small sigh. She didn't know why, even though Makita Shuichi wasn't ugly and was quite gentle, she...
Looking at him makes me want to vomit.
She only has amnesia, not sensory impairment, so why does she react so strongly to others?
"Kayako, Kujiro-kun, I haven't thanked you for coming to keep me company yet. If I had come alone, I would have felt a little awkward, since... to me now, he's more like a stranger."
"We are friends, and friends should help each other."
Kayako glanced at Jiuzhi Che.
This was taught to her by Che.
Actually, 99% of her motivation was selfish.
Since she's going to visit her friends, it's reasonable for her to ask Che to come and keep her company, right?
Not long after, Makita Shuichi came downstairs, looking rather unwell. Chiba Risa politely asked him what was wrong, but he just shook his head and said it was nothing.
Ten minutes later.
Chiba Risa wanted to leave. Although Makita Shuichi kept trying to find topics to talk about his past with her, she didn't feel any connection to them.
"Rizo, how about I take you for a walk outside?"
Makita Hideji also sensed something, and while making the suggestion, he implicitly meant to tell Kyuji and the others to leave.
Before Chiba Risa could speak, Kujiki Tetsu suddenly said, "I also want to take a walk, why don't we go together?"
"I'm just going to talk about my past with Rizo, you might find it boring, so I'll drive you home."
"No, it's quite interesting to listen to your made-up stories."
Jiu Zhiche smiled faintly.
"What do you mean?" Makita Hideji's expression changed slightly.
What did this man discover?
"I mean, the story you told about saving Chiba from the delinquents sounds like a TV drama story. It must have been embellished for artistic effect, right?"
"Yes, yes."
Is this what you mean?
Hideji Makita almost lost his composure, managing only a forced smile in response.
Kayako frowned slightly.
That's so fake, that person's smile is so fake.
I feel conflicted.
Anxiety, confusion, and fear were all intertwined.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward at this moment.
With his head down, Makita Shuichi suddenly said, "Risa, today is my 20th birthday."
what?
Chiba Risa was confused. "Well, happy birthday? Sorry, I forgot, so I didn't prepare a gift..."
"It's okay, I'm just going to the restroom."
He stood up, keeping his head down the whole time, so that only the lower half of his face could be seen.
Kayako leaned closer and whispered, "Kuji, he's acting strange. Should we leave?"
I should have known better than to come; I should have let Rizo face that weirdo by himself.
Hmm...is this not a good idea?
However, Che's safety is the most important thing.
Rizo is a friend; she will understand her.
Risa Chiba sighed.
If I had known I would stay in the hospital for ten days or half a month, would I have come here to suffer?
When Makita Shuichi came out, a faint fragrance wafted over, slightly different from the lavender scent he had used before.
Chiba Risa's lips moved, then she suddenly covered her mouth and rushed to the bathroom.
"Rizo? What's wrong?" Makita Hideji followed.
......
Twin apartments.
Tomie sorted out her memories of the imposters in Kurozu Town.
A-Che recently planned to go there, and she learned about the situation in advance, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to check the memories of a certain imposter alone.
Only they took the initiative to lick her and check her share!
Upon seeing this, Tomie was somewhat puzzled.
The imposter keeps jumping into the dragonfly pond. What's it doing?
Tomie couldn't see the reason.
That memory was deliberately blurred and distorted, like a whirlpool; whenever she tried to look at it, she would feel dizzy.
It's very similar to a certain moment before!
She once discovered that there was a small, blurry fragment in her memory, which was also unclear!
In other words, this strange memory is related to the counterfeit goods in Black Vortex Town.
Tomie's face darkened as she considered a possibility.
She knows herself very well, which is equivalent to knowing the imposter, even though she doesn't want to, it's true.
If you put yourself in her shoes, she would only tamper with certain memories related to A-Che!
The imposter possesses unknown abilities and has blurred a small portion of his memory!
The ability is probably related to the dragonfly pond!
"You thieving bitch!"
boom--
The coffee table shattered with a crash.
