horror fairy tale

At this time, there was also a trace of panic in Atobe, which can be judged from the slightly trembling voice when he called the housekeeper.

"Let's gather everyone together first." Tezuka, who heard the news, suggested so.Atobe nodded in agreement, and of course he clearly felt Fuji grabbing his arm. "Atobe, I don't think we want to lose our companions again?" At this moment, Fuji's ice-blue pupils became sharper.

Atobe squinted his eyes halfway, and asked Tezuka to organize the companions who gathered before turning around and whispering to Fuji: "Follow me."

All the way to the third floor, Atobe stood at the stairs and explained again: "Before going to the island, I told you not to go to the third floor of the villa. It is because there is an elder who also cultivates here. He doesn't like outsiders to disturb him. Now..." Atobe sighed With a sound, he led Bu Er to push open the first door on the third floor—it was a study room.

Then Atobe pressed the mechanism under the desk, and the bookcase the size of the wall in front of him turned over completely, and what made him stunned was the whole page of "Nordic Fairy Tales": "I discovered this by accident when I was young. I heard it was from this villa. The previous butler's collection."

When Bu Er heard this, the speculation in his heart became more and more outrageous, and it made him more and more afraid. "What's his name?" Fuji took a deep breath.

"Adaro." Atobe's expression was relieved, he knew that Fuji had already guessed something. ADARO, the barbarian language of Melanesia in the Southwest Pacific Islands-mermaid.

Just when Fuji was suppressing the fear gushing up in his heart and wanted to ask what happened, Shinozu rushed in again: "It's no good, Atobe, Hiyoshi has found it!" The truth that was interrupted again has already made Fuji suspicious. , but still followed Atobe to the hall.

Black marble floor, dark golden pattern on the wall, a transparent light box like cicada wings hanging on the top, no windows at the end of the hall, only a glass wall like a louver, double curtains on the left and right blocked the murals on the wall, thinking of the time As soon as I got here, I would tease and laugh at the taste of myself here, but now I feel that I can't even laugh.

In the hall, everyone gathered together, facing the only fireplace here, because in the fireplace, Hiji’s body was leaning against the wall... It was said to be Hiyoshi, but it was actually charred, and I could barely recognize Hiyoshi from the damaged team uniform of Bingdi.Atobe frowned, clenched his hands slightly, and wanted to go forward, but was pushed down by Yukimura, "Atobe, look..."

Only then did Atobe calm down, and saw Sanada go up and move Hiyoshi's body slightly, so that the faintly visible text behind Hiyoshi was clearly displayed in front of everyone.

Just like the material seen in the annex building, the blood-red characters describe the dizzy content of today: the pity of the sea in the evening mist/the exchange of life and death/the bubbles can’t take away the ashes/the brilliant you of my dream/.

Fuji was repeating the content of the poem in a low voice, when he heard a vague murmur in his ear—"whatevercomes, i'llloveyou, justasidonow,untilidie"

Who?

Fuji settled down and looked at Atobe.Atobe also felt more and more that something was wrong with this incident, and nodded at Fuji: "Everyone follow me to the study."

The study room kept the appearance of leaving, and the entire "Nordic Fairy Tales" weighed on everyone's hearts, making people breathless.

Kaitang's dream at that time, the scraps of paper around him, Hiyoshi's bizarre death, and Kuwahara who is still missing.Losing partners one after another and being unable to leave the island, even a fool can see that things are not simple, let alone this group of them with the highest deviation value in the school.At this time, there is a whole wall of "Nordic Fairy Tales" in the study room of the Atobe Villa. It seems that this "Nordic Fairy Tales" has a great relationship with Kaitang, Gan, and Hiyoshi's death.If you don't see through it in time, I'm afraid Kuwahara will be next.

As if they had agreed, everyone went to the bookshelf to get a copy of "Nordic Fairy Tales".

There is only [Mermaid Chapter], and the rest of the content has been torn up. Judging from the tear marks, it was a long time ago.Anxiety was in the air.Opening one after another of "Nordic Fairy Tales", they are all in the same situation.

Everyone looked up at Atobe, hoping to get an answer, but Atobe was also at a loss and didn't know about it except that it was the collection of the former housekeeper Adaro.

Atobe thought for a while, walked to the door of the study and saw the maid Ono who happened to be nearby, and asked her to notify the housekeeper Maeno to come over.

Everyone calmed down, since this is the case, let's read this story first while waiting.

The protagonist of the story is no longer the kind little mermaid described by Andersen, but the witch who fulfills the wish of the little mermaid.

The witch practiced the forbidden technique, and her appearance became ugly, but if she could get a mermaid heart, her appearance could be restored.The witch lives in a corner of the sea, and she feels comfortable practicing every day. However, watching the once beautiful face disappear in the mirror bit by bit, and a few mermaids swim by outside the door from time to time, the seeds of real ugliness slowly take root. sprouted.

Until one day the little mermaid found her.Seeing the little mermaid's innocent smile, young and beautiful face, the witch went crazy with jealousy.She made a move and snatched away the mermaid heart.

The witch swam ashore and met the prince.The better the prince treats her, the more uneasy she is but also the more inseparable she is, even though there is a voice in her mind that echoes countless times: leave him, leave him.

There is no ending, it is better to let go as soon as possible.The night before her death, she condensed all her love into one dance.But the prince took her hand and said he wanted to marry her.

On this night when she was supposed to be so happy that she couldn't sleep, the prince's knife pierced her heart.His lips pressed against her ear: Before you go, I want your heart...

In the dimness, many people poured into the room, and the witch vaguely heard: "Prince, hurry up, the princess can't hold it anymore..."

It turned out that all this was just a bureau set up by the prince.The princess of a neighboring country and the prince's fiancée are seriously ill and need a mermaid heart as medicine.The prince learned through a wizard that he would meet a woman with a mermaid heart by the sea.He was so kind to her and loved her so much, but it was just to win the mermaid's heart and save his beloved.

The witch's empty chest seems to be telling something...

Everyone was silent until the end.

The witch is dead, should I say that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, or should I feel sorry for her...

It didn't take long for the butler to arrive. Under Atobe's questioning, he just respectfully said that he didn't know much, except that Adaro was the former butler of this island villa.

"You don't know! When did the Atobe family have an incompetent butler like you!" Atobe half-closed his eyes and almost vented his anger.

"Okay, Atobe." Yukimura patted him on the shoulder to reassure him, "I haven't eaten anything since morning after so many things happened, and I don't have any clues now. Everyone needs to rest." The implication is that if it involves It may be more effective for the Atobe family to inquire about the secrets of the Atobe family that should not be made public.

The rest of the main players from the three tennis clubs, Seigaku, Hyotei, and Lihai, all gathered in the dining room. Facing the exquisite meals prepared by the Atobe family, everyone had no appetite

"Hey, Matsumoto-san." Shinobu suddenly put down his chopsticks and turned to the maid standing behind him, "The one who found Kaitang this morning...was it you?"

"Yes, Master Ninzuzu." The maid Matsumoto replied with lowered eyes.

"What was the situation when you found out?" Renzu's question obviously attracted the attention of all the ice emperors who were sitting closer.

"When I found out..." Matsumoto frowned and recalled, "When I opened the door in the morning, I saw someone lying wet at the door. At first I thought someone had fainted... but I found that there was no breathing or pulse. There are still deep strangle marks under the hanging white belt... I, I was frightened..." As he spoke, Matsumoto couldn't help trembling slightly as if recalling the scene at that time.

"Then, we heard your scream and rushed out, didn't we?" Shido, who was on the side, interjected.

"Okay, Matsumoto-san." Renzuzu comforted the panicked maid and said, "The one who found out did it, it is said that his name is Ono...?"

"Well, Saki Ono." Matsumoto replied, "It's the maid standing behind Master Tezuka now."

"Is that so..." Shinobu raised his hand and pushed his glasses, thinking about something, Atobe walked into the restaurant.

Judging from Atobe's furrowed brows and unconcealable anger, he probably still didn't get any useful information from the housekeeper.

Yukimura, who was sitting on the other side of the dining table, stopped talking with Yanagi and Sanada, sighed slightly and said, "Everyone, it's getting late, everyone, it's best not to go out to do activities alone after you go back to your room today, Kuwahara is still missing In... what we, what we hope now is that there will be no more accidents for everyone sitting here."

midnight

"Marui?"

Fuji rubbed his temples, it was so late, why did Marui appear in his room?

It's strange, Marui is clearly in front of me, but why does it feel so far away?You can clearly see Marui's mouth moving, but why can't you hear it?

Fuji forced himself to calm down, stared at Marui, trying to read out what he was about to say through mouth movements.

I... want... heart...

I saw Marui slowly put his hand on his chest, with little force, bright red blood gushed out from his chest...

"Marui!" Fuji rushed forward, trying to hold Marui's hand, but when he stepped in front of Marui, what he grabbed was nothingness.

"Marui!" Fuji sat up from the bed, watched himself open his hand and then clenched it into a fist, without sleepiness at all.What does this dream portend?Is Marui next?

Marui is dead.

Lying peacefully on the bed, the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, as if he is having a sweet dream.If only there were no empty chests, no empty chests...

Atobe was angry, in this villa, together with Kuwahara who disappeared, this is already the fifth person.Atobe grabbed the butler by his collar and ordered him to tell what he knew. After staying here for so many years, the butler would definitely know nothing.

The butler saw the blood-spreading room in front of him, his legs went limp for a moment, he sat down on the ground and muttered, "It is said that Adaro, the former housekeeper of this villa, decided to leave with his lover after resigning, but in the end she committed suicide and stabbed her with a knife. Into my own heart... After Adaro died, some strange things always happened in the villa. Some people heard strange voices and even had terrible dreams... Everyone discussed to clean up the things related to Adaro until Adaro was free. The dolls I made when I was a child were all moved into the annex building before they started to get better..."
