"Ah? Sister Nanatsuki went back after dinner. She said she needed to sort out the information given by the client and start investigating tomorrow." Mao Lilan looked back at the living room window, "But Conan and I were standing in front of the window looking at the moon. When I arrived, I saw that the light was still on in the living room on the second floor of the Seventh Detective Agency opposite. She must not have slept yet..."
"I know, you guys should go to bed early."
Chi Feichi left a few words and went straight downstairs.
"Huh?" Mao Lilan watched Chi Feichi's back disappear into the stairwell and closed the door. "Brother Feichi is planning to go there to rest. This is good, so as to save him from going back to Abeido Town again."
Conan's half-moon eyes yawned.
Doesn't Xiaolan think it's wrong for Chi Fei to go find a girl who lives alone in the middle of the night?
Yes, why was Chi Feichi so cold and heartless refusing to spend one night with him? Is he so despised?
…
Outside the gate of Seven Detective Agency, a black business car parked downstairs.
In the back seat, Chi Feichi lowered the window and looked up at the balcony on the second floor illuminated by the living room lights.
The night was quiet, and he could hear the sound of TV programs coming from the second floor.
When the noisy sound of the program reached downstairs, the content could no longer be heard clearly.
Yueshui would check carefully every time before going to bed to ensure that all the electrical appliances and furniture on the second floor were turned off and would not sleep with the TV on. However, Yueshui had to go to investigate tomorrow, but he was still staying up in the middle of the night. He was thinking, Yueshui is Do you think the investigation is troublesome, or...
Are you sick and can't move? Suddenly fainted on the second floor?
Something is wrong, very wrong.
If he had gone to take a look, it was already so late, and he suddenly ran up...
Sure enough, let’s go and have a look.
"Click."
In the front seat of the car, the driver heard the sound of the door opening and turned around in confusion, "Consultant?"
"Sorry, please wait for me."
Chi Feichi closed the car door, took out his cell phone and walked towards the door. Just as he was about to dial the landline number in the living room on the second floor, he suddenly stopped his finger that was about to press the button. He paused before pressing the dial button.
In addition to the sound of the TV program above, there was also the sound of slippers hitting the wooden floor. It was very soft, but vaguely distinguishable.
"Tap tap tap..."
There was only one person's footsteps, but they were rapid and messy, with pauses from time to time, which looked weird.
Strange, does Yueshui have the habit of doing aerobics at home in the middle of the night?
In the living room on the second floor, Koshimizu Nanatsuki was pacing back and forth in front of the sofa. When he turned around, his eyes stayed on the stairs leading to the first floor. He hesitated for a second, collapsed and hugged his head with his hands. He quickly took a deep breath, with a look on his face. He walked quickly and decisively to the stairs.
At seven o'clock this evening, after she came back to the second floor to sort out the commission information, she thought about the new song push message she received from THK in the afternoon. The 'H' marked on it made her couldn't help but click on the push message on her computer after work.
In the first three seconds, although the melody of the new song felt strange, she still listened to it with anticipation.
After that, a female voice seemed to be humming in a lowered voice, an ethereal and childish voice, and a strange melody, which made her suspect that a monster might jump out of her house at any time.
Finally, after the song ended, after a short period of silence, the computer suddenly recalled the noisy and terrifying sound, which kept getting stuck one after another, which was very strange.
She was sitting alone in the living room, surrounded by silence. She just breathed a sigh of relief when she was frightened by the sound and couldn't help but let out a low cry.
Until she saw that the music progress bar was still moving, which indicated that the song was not over yet, and also meant that that section was just the continuation of the song, she...
Sure enough, she still suspected that there was something wrong with her computer.
She suspected that an evil spirit had gotten into her computer!
After that, she pressed the laptop against the TV with books. She turned on the TV and chose a lively comedy show.
She tried to laugh the evil spirit to death with a comedy show!
In any case, the effect was still there. After watching the comedy show for a while, she didn't feel scared anymore.
As soon as the TV was turned off and everything was quiet, she was worried that when she went to pick up the computer and prepare to go downstairs, the computer would suddenly make that weird and scary sound again.
I just stood in front of the stairs on the second floor, looking at the dark and narrow stairs, thinking that I had to step on the stairs to the entrance hall on the first floor to turn on the lights, and then go back to the second floor to turn off the lights in the living room on the second floor. After seeing the dark living room, I thought. Go back to the first floor.
Just the thought of having to wash up in a cramped and dark bathroom made her a little...uneasy.
She went downstairs to sleep without turning off the lights. She felt it was a waste of electricity and felt sorry for Chi Feichi who rented the house to her at such a low price.
At the stairway on the second floor, the narrow stairs leading downstairs were still shrouded in darkness.
With a determined look on his face, Koshimi Nanatsuki tried to take a step forward, looked downstairs, then retracted his feet obediently, and stood supporting the wall with a collapsed look on his face.
Spending the night on the sofa on the second floor was not impossible, but now, at 11:59 in the evening, she wanted to go to the bathroom and regretted why she didn't leave the porch light on when she went upstairs...
She wants to go to the toilet...
"Jingle Bell!"
The landline in the living room suddenly rang, which startled Koshimizu Nanatsuki. He quickly reached out to cover his abdomen, suppressed the urge to go to the toilet, looked at the wall clock on the wall, walked to the landline, hesitantly reached out to pick up, "Hello... "
At 12 o'clock, a strange call came.
"it's me."
Hearing the familiar calm male voice on the other end of the phone, Koshizui Nanatsuki breathed a sigh of relief, "Mr. Ike, Ike, it's you..."
Chi Feichi heard something was wrong with Yueshui Nanatsuki's voice and asked directly, "What's wrong with you?"
"Ah? No..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki held the receiver and tapped his foot unnaturally, "I'm fine. I called you so late. Is there...what's wrong?"
"I just sent the teacher back. He is downstairs now. Is it convenient for me to come up?" Chi Feichi asked.
Koshizui Nanatsuki was confused. She didn't want Chi Feichi to know that it was so embarrassing to be frightened by a song, but the feeling of wanting to go to the toilet still defeated her reason, "Okay... you can open the door yourself. "
If there was a call at 12 o'clock and she was asked to go to the first floor to turn on the lights and open the door, even if it was Chi Feichi's voice, she would have to doubt whether it was a ghost trying to trick her into going into the darkness!
"knew."
After Chi Feichi finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Koshizui Nanatsuki put down the receiver and walked to the stairs to wait. He heard the door open downstairs and saw the light in the hallway downstairs being turned on. He quickly went downstairs.
In front of the stairs, Chi Feichi heard hurried footsteps. He looked up and saw Nanatsuki Koshizui running downstairs. Before he could say hello, he watched Nanatsuki Koshizui run past him and go straight to the toilet.
"Feel sorry!"
Koshimizu Nanatsuki ran into the toilet and slammed the toilet door shut.
Chi Feichi stood at the top of the stairs and was silent for a moment. He heard the sound of toilet flushing in the bathroom, and then asked, "Yue Shui, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing," Nanatsuki Koshizui stood in the bathroom, turned on the faucet and washed his hands, and said awkwardly, "I was really... rude just now..."
"It's okay," Chi Feichi thought for a moment and thought about the anxious look on Yuesui Nanatsuki's face. "But you just seemed like you were being chased by an evil spirit..."
In the bathroom, Koshimi Nanatsuki paused, raised his eyes and looked at himself in the mirror. He always felt that the more he looked at himself, the stranger he looked. "Is there... an evil spirit?"
"What?" Chi Feichi was confused.
"No..." Yuesui Nanatsuki turned off the faucet, wiped his hands, and quickly left the bathroom, then closed the door tightly with his backhand. The whole set of actions was done in one go. He noticed a line of sight looking at him, turned his head, and looked at Chi Feichi who was waiting at the top of the stairs.
Chi Feichi stared: "..."
There is a problem, there must be a problem.
"Well..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki let go of his right hand on the doorknob, lowered his head in embarrassment, and moved forward step by step, "I listened to the newly released song by THK last night, the song "Scarecrow". so……"
Chi Feichi sorted out his thoughts and nodded clearly, "So you were scared and didn't dare to go downstairs to use the toilet..."
"Okay, stop talking," Yuesui Nanatsuki stood in front of Chi Feichi, lowered his head, and muttered in a low voice, "I didn't expect it to be this kind of song. Very early on, Kyushu Some people worry that children are too playful and will fall behind in the wild and encounter wild beasts, so there are similar stories, such as there are monsters in the wild that specialize in eating children, for example, after the sun goes down, evil spirits will start wandering around, and some evil spirits will Come to people through the medium of sound..."
Chi Feichi looked at the head in front of him that "showed the master's grievance" with silky hair hanging down. He raised his right hand, hesitated for a moment, and placed it on Koshizu Nanatsuki's hair.
"Huh?" Yueshui Nanatsuki raised his head in surprise and watched Chi Feichi retract his hand smoothly, stunned in place.
Did Mr. Chi touch her head just now?
It feels a bit...
"Since you feel scared, why don't you call Xiaolan and Conan to come over?" Chi Feichi forced to change the subject with a calm expression and led the way upstairs, "If I don't come over, you won't just hold it in, right? ?”
"Ah..." Yuesui Nanatsuki came to his senses and followed him upstairs. He looked up at Chi Feichi's right hand hanging by his side, "Xiaolan is also afraid of this. It's still too difficult for her to come from the avenue late at night. Right? And it’s not easy for her to take care of a child every day. I don’t want to disturb her. If I really can’t hold it in anymore, I won’t care about being scared... Uh, I said, is it a little strange for us to talk about this topic? ah?"
"Then let's talk about a weirder topic," Chi Feichi stopped and looked back at Koshizu Nanatsuki, "Do you dare to sleep alone tonight?"
Yuesui Nanatsuki: "?"
There is something wrong with what Mr. Chi said.
Now in the middle of the night, she didn't dare to sleep alone. Could she still call someone to sleep with her?
Now in the middle of the night, Mr. Chi is saying this to a girl. Don’t you think it’s very wrong?
Chi Feichi watched Yueshui Nanatsuki's cheeks turn red a little, then withdrew his eyes with satisfaction and continued to go upstairs.
Koshizui Nanatsuki looked back at the deserted stairs and quickly followed, "Hey, what you said is really weird..."
Chi Feichi: "I told you it was a strange topic."
Koshizu Nanatsuki: "..."
Unable to refute?
…
Half an hour later, Chi Feichi helped Koshizui Nanatsuki return the materials and the computer that was suppressed by books to the studio. Then he took his pajamas and went downstairs. He waited in the hallway for Koshimizu Nanatsuki to take a shower and called the driver first. go back.
When Koshizui Nanatsuki came out of the bathroom, he stood at the door and watched Chi Feichi finish the phone call. He hesitated and said, "Well..."
Chi Feichi looked at Koshizu Nanatsuki and saw that he had changed into pajamas. Well, it was still the same outfit as he saw from Hongzi's crystal ball. "I'm going to wash up."
"yes……"
Koshizui Nanatsuki turned sideways to give way, lowered his head and waited for Chi Feichi to pass by. He looked back at the closed bathroom door, breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and leaned against the wall, looking up at the ceiling.
Should she run back to her room and lock the door to prevent things from getting weird?
But will that make Mr. Chi feel hurt?
No, they are not relatives, lovers or couples, nor are they five-year-old children. They are all adults. A man and a woman sleep together at night. Sure enough...
If you put it this way, it was strange that Mr. Chi raised his hand to touch the top of her head just now. That action seemed a bit too intimate, right?
Just like lovers.
She was a little confused. What was going on now?
Chi Feichi took a shower, wiped his hair with a towel and went out. He saw Nanatsuki Koshizu petrified against the wall. He looked up at the ceiling and ruled out strange marks on the ceiling and water leakage upstairs.
Koshizui Nanatsuki noticed that Chi Feichi was standing beside him. He looked away from the ceiling and looked down at the ground in embarrassment. "Um... is Mr. Chi planning to stay here tonight?"
Chi Feichi looked at the floor in front of Koshizu Nanatsuki's feet, made sure it was clean and smooth, and continued wiping his hair, "Isn't it okay?"
Koshizui Nanatsuki looked up at Chi Feichi's calm face. He couldn't understand what was going on with this innocent attitude. He felt his blood surge up. He took a deep breath, but still gave in to the gap between 'landlord and tenant'. He forced a smile and said, "No, no, this is your home. Of course you can live here, but you said before that I don't dare to sleep alone..."
"If you feel scared by yourself, I can stay by your side," Chi Feichi said calmly, looking at Yuesui Nanatsuki. "When you fall asleep, I will go back upstairs and turn off the lights."
Yueshui is afraid, they sleep in the same room?
No, no, no, he understands himself. If he really gets to that point, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as sleeping in the same room.
If it were a 'troublesome person' like Belmod, he could lie dead all night, but it would be hard to tell if he was in the water.
In that case, the situation would develop out of control, and he was also worried about overthinking and doubting his thoughts.
"Ah..." Koshizui Nanatsuki blinked and said dryly, "Thank you, thank you."
