Although I could tell at a glance that she was not Alice. But I still took advantage of the trick, got in front of her, and asked in a low voice: "Chief, what are your orders?"
Unfortunately, "Alice-chan" doesn't seem to be able to express herself well in words. She can only point to me with her eyes over and over again.
I followed her gaze and saw that there was only the discarded pocket watch.
I chuckled, walked over, took off my pocket watch, and shook it several times in my hand.
"Chuuya," I shouted out the door, the figure of "Alice-chan" trembling in my peripheral vision, "where did you find this pocket watch?"
Within a moment, Chuuya responded, his voice doubled by the presence of the wooden door: "In the hands of a shape-shifter."
"so."
"It took on your appearance at that time," Chuuya said quietly. "Unfortunately, it didn't look like you... After all, you never used this pocket watch as a weapon."
As a weapon?
I quickly caught the key words and looked back, and the face of "Alice-chan" also became ferocious at this moment.
"'Shapeshifters' also have the same powers as me?" I asked.
"It's more of an imitation than the same. Even if it tries its best, it can't reach your height."
I held my chin and nodded. In this case, it makes sense that I saw "Alice" and "Mori Ogai" at the same time that day.
After all, "Ogai Mori" is a supernatural power, and "Alice" is a supernatural power.
But what makes me uneasy is that this look is almost like Kafka Asagiri's superpower, but it's just a little lower-end.
"There is another point worth mentioning," Chuuya said, "Transformers will steal items belonging to those they are imitating. The leader had a dagger stolen, and it has not been found yet."
"Is that so?" I blinked, but the uneasiness in my heart became stronger. If it was just like this, then why was there a gap in Kirihara's memory in the diary, "Who took over this task?"
"Ha, I knew you would be interested. Don't worry, this mission leader has been kept by us... you will be able to carry out the mission in three days."
Three days were enough for me to explore every corner of this house.
I'm quite satisfied.
"Oops," Chuuya exclaimed from outside the door, "I accidentally let it slip. The leader originally planned to ask you to repent. After you come out, don't spread the word everywhere that I said it!"
I smiled after hearing this, deliberately walked away without answering, and left Chuuya alone at the door.
I noticed that "Alice-chan" had left at some point.
From the sunset to the moon rising and setting, I started my first day of confinement.
Yesterday I was able to barely get through the adaptation period by chatting with Zhongya, but today was different. Except for the breakfast that would never be late, I really couldn't respond to the sky and the earth today.
So I simply stopped expecting him to respond to me, and secretly decided to go out and teach him a lesson when the confinement was over.
But after all, I was still bored by myself, so I walked around the room and took out the diary.
The last time I watched it was in a hurry, and I didn’t dig out anything except some seemingly innocuous things. So this time I calmed down and screened every word.
However, before I could find any clues in the sentence, I inadvertently noticed that there were missing pages in the diary.
Although I am not a meticulous person, I still keep books and other utensils very carefully, and I believe Kirihara Sawa is the same in this regard.
On the other hand, looking at the torn-out parts of the diary, it can be seen from the break that the person who tore off the page must have cared about it or the diary very much, otherwise the incomplete part would not be so smooth and difficult to see.
Looking at it this way, there are only two suspects, one is the shapeshifter and the other is myself.
Because only these two people can take care of the integrity of the diary while cherishing the piece of paper.
After much thought, I closed the diary and put it back on the bookshelf.
But when I turned around, I accidentally knocked off the pocket watch hanging on the wall. The old pocket watch let out a crisp cry, and then a piece of folded paper spit out from its "mouth".
My heart moved, I picked it up and opened it, only to find that the paper had turned yellow and the words on it were blurry and difficult to read.
At this moment, my pocket watch was still hanging on my chest. I took it out and activated my power.
Accompanied by a faint blue light, the paper was intact as before.
There was no doubt that this piece of paper was the one just torn out of the diary.
I started to identify the words on the paper, and I was shocked to find that it was a letter written by Kirihara Sawa to Watanabe Miha!
The words above are slightly confusing:
Hello, another me.
This diary is the second one I wrote after preparing to leave.
If you have a chance to see it, maybe it will clear up some of your doubts. But this means that I will never see this letter and this diary again. I hope you can find the answers to all this on my behalf.
In fact, I discovered it as early as my second memory lapse. In fact, my memory will not be taken away by the shapeshifter. The one who can really take away my memory is you.
As for why I know the existence of shapeshifters, you don't have to be surprised. The authority given to me by the leader is beyond your imagination. If you are lucky enough to know Dazai and understand his past, you can make a comparison here.
After all, we are all his children.
Back to business.
I discovered that there is another me in the world, and I wasn’t surprised; I discovered that you might ban me and replace me, and I wasn’t afraid either.
The only thing that makes me stubborn is the clue that the shapeshifters deliberately left for me - there are fragments of "books" in my body.
This means that our past may be just clouds, and everything we meet may not be a coincidence.
I don't know why they had to tell me, maybe they just wanted me to take a trip through this muddy water.
But there was nothing I could do, I had to go.
I had no family since I was born, Koremori became my teacher Chuuya and Dazai became my friend.
I don't want to find out in the end that all this is because I am part of the "book".
I hope you can understand.
(As I read this, I noticed that there were obvious tear stains on the paper, which I didn’t expect.)
So, the reason and location of my trip must be clear to you.
Yes, the shapeshifters are the superpowers of the Pigeon members, and he also has terrifying information.
I will definitely not end up well if I go there rashly. I hope you can take care of yourself and at the same time, go find the truth that I can no longer know.
Where did the fragments of the "book" come from? Who am I?
This world is so amazing, isn't it?
The letter ends here. It is signed with three characters, Kirihara Sawa, which is exactly the same as my font.
