Uyama Hiideomi stared at the manuscript titled "Summer of the Totori" placed on the table of Maijo Keisuke, and his voice became a little unbelievable:
"Teacher Wucheng? This is it? Could this be the book?"
"That book that no one has read, no one has heard of, and no one can write?"
When Maijo Kyousuke saw Uyama Hinodeomi finding his manuscript paper, a smile appeared on his face:
"Yes, this is the book that no one has read, no one has heard of, and no one can write!"
"It's called "Summer of the Bird" and tells the story of a series of incredible things that happened in a hospital called Kuonji Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital."
Uyama Himideomi was shocked that Maijo Keisuke wrote five to six hundred pieces of manuscript paper in just a few days!
But what’s even more curious is what kind of huge story this huge volume actually tells!
Thinking of this, Uyama Himideomi rubbed his hands and walked towards the stack of manuscript papers, but unexpectedly he was stopped by Maishiro Kesuke.
Uyama Hinodechen is very close to the manuscript paper of "Summer of the Bird Bird".
But he was suddenly stopped, feeling itchy and unbearable, so he turned to look at Maijo Kyousuke and asked in confusion:
"Teacher Wucheng, what do you mean?"
"As your editor, can't I read your manuscript?"
"Is it possible? Shouldn't you be submitting the manuscript to other publishing houses?"
Uyama Hiideomi spoke in surprise, because he really couldn't think of a reason why Maijo Keisuke refused to read the manuscript to him.
After hearing what Uyama Himideomi said, Maijo Keisuke shook his head helplessly, then pointed to his stomach with his finger, and made a gesture of picking up the wine glass and taking a sip.
When Uyama Hiideomi saw Maijo Keisuke's movements, the tense expression on his face suddenly relaxed:
"I thought there was something important, but it turned out to be this."
Uyama Hiideomi smiled and took out a restaurant order card from his briefcase:
"Teacher Maicheng, this is the most high-end Japanese restaurant in Tokyo. I usually only use it when entertaining top writers. Now it's yours!"
Uyama Himideomi put the order card into Maijo Kyousuke's hand and patted his chest with his hand:
"As I said just now, I will pay for all today's purchases!"
"Teacher Wucheng, you can order whatever you want, no need to be polite to me!"
Maijo Kyousuke looked at the order card in his hand with a smile on his face, and walked to the phone to order food.
As soon as I turned around, I saw Uyama Himideomi sitting in front of the table. He neatly took out a wet wipe and wiped his hands carefully.
After my hands were completely wiped clean, I couldn't wait to open the manuscript of "The Summer of the Bird" and fell into the story.
Seeing that Uyama Himideomi was so involved, Maijo Kyousuke didn't bother him anymore. After ordering a meal that was enough for the two of them, he lay down on the tatami nearby and took a nap.
Uyama Hiideomi opened the manuscript paper of "Summer of the Koho Bird" and first gave a detailed introduction to the ancient monster "The Summer of the Koho Bird".
To put it simply, the Guhuo Bird is an evil spirit that looks like a bird when it grows hair and looks like a woman when it takes off its hair. It likes to take other people's children as adopted children. Most of them are transformed by women who died of pregnancy and infertility.
With the introduction of Gu Huoniao, it was completed.
A line of words similar to those murmured in a dream appeared in front of Uyama Hinodeomi's eyes.
I probably just woke up.
Where is this place and what am I doing?
I soaked in the warm liquid.
Are my eyes closed or open?
So dark and so quiet.
I curled up, soaked in the liquid, and heard the sound.
It seems that someone is angry, no, it seems that someone is sad.
I feel very peaceful now.
I clenched my thumbs, and my insides opened outward, as if my insides were connected to somewhere else.
I always feel a little cold.
I.
Are you really awake?
【Mother. 】
This paragraph seemed to be babbled in a dream. Although Uyama Hiideomi was a little confused, he felt a chill down his spine. This was probably the feeling of horror, right?
Uyama Himideomi thought this way and opened the text...
The story of "Summer of the Bird Bird" takes place in mid-July of Showa 52 (1952).
"I" Tatsumi Sekiguchi was once a mucous membrane researcher, and now I am a third-rate writer.
I have a very strange friend named Chuzenji Akihiko. He is an old classmate of mine and I have known him for fifteen or sixteen years.
Chuzenji Akihiko is a rigid person. When he was young, he looked like a consumptive patient. He had a bad face all day long. After marrying Chizuru, he looked a little fatter.
He worked as a high school lecturer for a period of time. After resigning, he privately appropriated the confectionery shop "Kyogokudo" owned by his wife, Chizuru Chuzenji's mother-in-law, and transformed it into a used bookstore.
Because this guy keeps saying strange things like "There is no uninteresting book in the world, no matter what book it is, it is interesting."
People we know habitually associate Chuzenji Akihiko with that used bookstore.
As a result, Kyogokudo became the second name of Akihiko Chuzenji.
In addition, this guy is also an onmyoji from a famous shrine.
Although I don’t know what kind of job Onmyoji is, no matter how strange the job is, it doesn’t feel out of place for Kyogokudo.
As for why I became friends with Kyogokudo? Mainly during my school days, I had mild depression, blushing syndrome, and social phobia.
Generally speaking, I am a person who is not good at communicating with others and has a somewhat low self-esteem. Apart from Kyogokudo, the only people who are willing to communicate with me are Detective Enokizu Reijiro and Detective Kiba Shutaro.
I come to Kyogokudo one to three times a month.
Mainly, I wanted to communicate with Kyogokudo, a well-read guy, about recent events.
After all, my job is to write weird stories, and even though Kyogokudo is always sarcastic and mocking me, he can always provide me with countless inspirations.
Recently, I heard about a strange thing. The second daughter of the Kuonji family, Kyoko Kuonji, was pregnant for twenty months but did not give birth, while her husband Murano disappeared like smoke in a secret room.
Naturally, I don’t believe this, let alone the incredible thing about a woman being pregnant for twenty months.
How could a living person disappear like smoke in a secret room?
With this question, I found Kyogokudo.
Kyogokudo is a person who otherwise doesn't speak, but once he speaks, he talks endlessly.
Before I could ask any questions, he started to tell me all kinds of complicated and difficult knowledge, such as quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat, the uncertainty principle, and the difference between a young bird and a female child.
Is the world in your eyes real?
If a person has never seen it with his own eyes, it only appears in books or from other people's mouths.
For example, people like Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao only exist in stories.
Did they really exist in history?
Will the brain behave in a way that deceives other organs because it is inconsistent with hearing, vision, touch, smell, and taste?
Uyama Hiideomi scratched his head hard, somewhat confused as to what Keisuke Maijo's book was talking about.
Because except for the disappearance of the secret room, the book "Summer of the Bird" doesn't look like a mystery novel...
