"You will always belittle me, always blame me, always call me a waste, as if the reason why I can never do anything well is just because I am not a boy!"
"Why?!"
The blood stains that seeped deeply into the wall seemed to have a sound at this moment, just like the girl who betrayed the only sister who truly loved her in order to gain the approval of her parents was kneeling in the attic and crying.
On the last few stairs, those messy bloody words were all unified into one sentence.
"Xiaoyue is dead! She is dead!"
These seven simple words completely destroyed my sister's last shred of sanity.
"They killed Satsuki! They deserve to die!"
"I deserve to die too!"
Gently pull off the wallpaper attached to the wall, revealing the charred wall that has been engulfed by flames.
This girl who was perfect in everything obviously did perfect in the last thing in her life.
At the end of the corridor is a small, dusty attic room, with the door ajar and a warm yellow light faintly shining through.
As if aware of Xi Yu's hesitation, the girl sitting in the attic room smiled and took the initiative to open the door: "Is it Xiaoyue? Come in."
The girl, about eighteen or nineteen years old, was sitting by the bed, speaking to Xi Yu in a gentle and caring tone. If the girl's identity was revealed in the rules, no one would have thought that the delicate and gentle girl in front of them was the crazy sister who set the whole family on fire.
Out of caution, Xi Yu still didn't open her eyes, let alone step into the attic.
"I know Xiaoyue can see it, but it doesn't matter, I won't tell my parents."
The sister's voice gradually became crying. She took two steps closer to Xi Yu, and her warm tears fell on the back of Xi Yu's hand. She wanted to pull Xi Yu into the room, but was blocked by tour guide 04.
"It's very dangerous here, Xiaoyue, please run away. Those two people are monsters and not your parents at all."
Sensing Xi Yu's obvious vigilance and vigilance, her sister was even more painful. She choked with sobs and handed Xi Yu half a note from the drawer in the room: "All the visible rules in the house have been contaminated by them, only these three are correct."
"Xiaoyue, listen, my sister can't help you much. You must remember that you must never disobey your parents. If you want to survive in this hellish place, you can only obey them. Do you understand?"
Seeing Xi Yu nodding obediently, her sister turned to look at the electronic clock on the table, gritted her teeth and continued: "If those two monsters ask you, just tell them directly that you have already seen me. No matter what happens after that, you just hide in your room and don’t come out.”
"Okay, okay, let's go."
"If you stay in the attic for too long, those two monsters will definitely notice."
My sister's face suddenly turned pale, and then turned rosy again in the next moment: "Xiaoyue, sister suddenly remembered that there is something I haven't told you yet."
"Come, there are some hidden rules in the drawer. Come in and sister will give them to you." Sister smiled and took Xi Yu's hand, pulling her into the room with great force: "Xiaoyue, why don't you follow sister in? Don’t you trust your sister the most?”
"Xiaoyue! Xiaoyue! Why don't you go with your sister!"
"Sister"'s stern questioning was in vain in Xi Yu's ears. She found that she couldn't break away from "sister". She took a deep breath, jumped up, kicked her legs violently on the wall, and relied on the reaction force to fight with herself. The weight pulled "sister" and rolled towards the stairs.
As soon as "Sister" left the attic room, she turned into blood mist and dissipated. Xi Yu quickly protected her head and neck and rolled in embarrassment to the locked room.
"It hurts so much."
She twisted her sore shoulders and opened her eyes again. She saw that the steps and the attic had disappeared, but the other part of the rules that her sister had given her was still in her hands.
【10. A locked room can protect you】
【11. Don’t trust your neighbors】
[12. After leaving home, no matter what sound you hear, don’t look back]
These three rules have direct implications outside the home.
At the right time, the bell outside the building rang no more than eight times.
Remembering the rules that her mother could trust after eight-thirty, Xi Yu put the rule paper into his pocket and walked to the living room with his blind stick.
According to the diary Xi Yu found in the room, her father would go out to drink after eight o'clock in the evening, and the only monster she had to face now was her mother.
The incandescent lamp in the living room exudes an eerie cold light. Sitting on the crimson sofa is a girl with a delicate face but a stiff expression like a doll.
It turned out to be the sister who had appeared in the attic.
The elder sister was also aware of Xi Yu's arrival, but she just looked ahead indifferently without saying a word, as if waiting for Xi Yu to tell her mother about her existence.
As if to confirm Xi Yu's speculation, her mother quietly walked out of the kitchen. She wiped the blood on her hands with her apron and asked with a smile: "Xiaoyue, what did you see? Is there anything you want to tell mom?"
The first rule states that if a sister appears in the family, parents must be informed immediately.
Just a few minutes ago, my sister personally told Xi Yu that she should listen to her parents and not hide anything or reserve anything once her parents ask.
To a certain extent, Xiaoyue died because her sister reported on her, and her sister was the real murderer of her parents. She should also be the person that these two monsters hate the most. If Xi Yu reported on her sister, the two monsters could temporarily let her go. , seems reasonable.
But she just said calmly under the gazes of the two dead people: "I didn't see anything, I just wanted to go back to the room to sort out the knowledge for the online class."
After closing the door, Xi Yu collapsed back on the bed and glanced at the electronic clock——
six thirty.
Ah.
She finally knew something was wrong.
"Guest, why don't you do what your sister and the rules say?"
Tour Guide 04 looked confused, as if he didn't understand why Xi Yu suddenly started to seek death: "Aren't you afraid of being polluted behind the scenes for violating the rules?"
"pollute?"
Xi Yu sneered: "On the contrary, you will be polluted if you report on your sister."
"My sister reported Xiaoyue to my parents because she was eager for their approval. If I reported my sister to my parents for temporary safety, wouldn't I become the same person as my sister?"
She took out the blood-stained report: "I am using Xiaoyue's identity. This is a strange story born of Xiaoyue. Do you think Xiaoyue would be willing to let someone who betrayed his relatives casually leave? "
Under the astonished gaze of tour guide 04, Xi Yu revealed the real rule: "The person who becomes a sister is a "sister", that is, he is contaminated and will forever become a part of this weird story."
The time on the electronic clock turned to an earlier time of six ten. As the time turned back, the burning smell in the room became stronger.
If Xi Yu guessed correctly, this was not a clock at all, but a countdown to death.
My sister burned herself and her parents to death at home at 2:40 in the morning. Once Xi Yu fails to leave the house before the countdown reaches zero, I'm afraid she will never be able to leave again.
Therefore, whether it is her sister, grandma, or Xiaoyue's own diary, they are constantly reminding her——
Home is in danger, leave quickly.
