Brave World, I report to the police station in red at the beginning

It was a rather odd, swamp-like atmosphere.

There were clearly only three little girls of similar age in the house.

"that……"

"Jun Qianjing, my name."

Just as Nogi Wakaba was about to speak, Jun Qianjing's cold voice came out. She didn't want to be impolite.

She let them in because they might be Li Mengyu's guests, but this did not mean that her inner unhappiness showed any signs of abating. After all, it was these two who were the culprits who caused Li Mengyu to come back in the early morning.

And she was just very unhappy... It was obvious that only she was enough for Brother Meng to be by his side.

Dangerous thoughts were running through his little head.

If it was an adult or someone older than her, she would not have such thoughts, but once it was someone of the same age, she would curl up automatically like a hedgehog when she felt danger.

Jun Qianjing was extremely afraid of being abandoned, and the aftereffects of his past family life had not disappeared from him yet.

"I came in naturally, but it seems... I wasn't welcomed."

Kamisato Hinata was keenly aware of the hostility emanating from Gun Chikage in the air.

Fortunately, this was not the first time she encountered this difficult type of person.

"This is a souvenir we bought before we came here. Please be sure to accept it."

Kamisato Hinata kept smiling, put the paper bag he brought with him on the table, and spoke gently.

"We don't know what he likes, so we only prepared some desserts and pastries. They should taste good. You can try them first."

"I'll wait for him to come back."

Jun Qianjing did not refuse the gift, because if it was Li Mengyu, he would not refuse it either.

If you accept the gift, you can't treat the guests in that way anymore, and your expression will soften a little.

"This is... tea."

You must show your aura as the master of this house.

As she thought about this, she acted like a little adult and made a cup of chrysanthemum tea for each of them. The tea bag was from the same bag that Li Mengyu used to entertain Mr. Inumoto last time.

"Thank you."

"……nothing."

Because the other party was speaking in a nice way and exuding kindness, Jun Qianjing couldn't get angry. In fact... she even felt for a moment that she was too emotional.

"Big brother, when will you be back?"

"I don't know...sometimes he comes back very late."

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Jun Qianjing's tone. He should at least tell her the specific time of return when he goes out, or take her with him.

"Then we have to make plans to stay overnight."

"Hinata...you don't have to go out of your way to accompany me..."

Nogi Wakaba didn't want her best friend to be sacrificed because of her own affairs.

"What are you talking about? Ruoye, we are friends. Friends should help each other, right?"

"..."

Jun Qianjing couldn't bear to see such a scene and felt very uncomfortable.

And generally speaking, this kind of thing should not be decided by her or them, but by Li Mengyu.

But she still called Li Mengyu, but the message displayed was "The other party is out of service area."

"The signal towers in several places in Kagawa are also broken, so it's normal that we can't get through the phone."

Such a reason was not enough to suppress Jun Qianjing's uneasiness, and even made her a little irritated.

"I didn't agree to let you stay. If you can't wait, you can just leave."

Sarcastic words escaped from his mouth, and it was not until the words left his lips that Jun Qianjing realized that they were his own words and covered his mouth.

She hadn't meant to say that, but now that the words had been spoken, there was no way to salvage them.

Kamisato Hinata's face darkened. It wasn't that she was irritated, but Gun Chikage's words had touched Nogi Wakaba beside her. She was just about to say something.

"Yes, if I stay here... it may indeed cause trouble to others."

"Ruoye! What are you talking about? If we don't stay here, I'll have to sleep on the ground outside tonight! When we came here, we saw that there is no hotel for us to rest in!"

Kamisato Hinata's expression was a little upset, but after thinking about it, it seemed that it was not impossible for him to borrow some bedding from here and spend the night alone outside with Nogi Wakaba.

"But...we shouldn't cause them any trouble."

A rather dull character.

But, if that’s the case, wouldn’t it be completely Jun Qianjing who is bullying them?

If Li Mengyu knew about this... Jun Qianjing couldn't imagine such a situation.

"You, you can stay here. Before, I was wrong."

He spoke quickly.

"Tsk."

Kamisato Hinata had already thought of a name for her child, but suddenly this happened.

Forget it... I'll be sleeping here with Ruoye anyway, so it's not a loss.

"I'm so sorry... to bother you."

Nogi Wakaba thanked her solemnly, and Jun Qianjing felt as if thousands of ants were crawling on her body.

She really was not good at dealing with people with this kind of personality.

The person in front of her seemed to be born to restrain her, and she really had no way to deal with him.

Kamisato Hinata also noticed this.

This is what is called... attribute restraint.

The crisis that could have led to a quarrel was resolved by the stubborn Nogi Wakaba... Why did I have such a dream?

"Speaking of which, why did you come to see Brother Meng?"

"…I came here on my own initiative. Hinata was just accompanying me. We…were…"

I couldn’t pronounce the Chinese characters clearly, and I didn’t know what other name to use. I couldn’t even call him “big brother” or something like that.

"Brother Li, we were saved by Brother Li..."

It does seem like something Li Mengyu would do, but Jun Qianjing actually knew about this matter.

Chapter 41: Human Affairs

"..."

Li Mengyu had never seen such a scene before, a person was crying while hugging a skull, and the skull was touching the person's head.

Three minutes ago, thanks to his navigation, it was only a matter of time to find the skeleton.

It was quite a coincidence that the place he tracked to was actually the alley where he first encountered the skeleton.

I don’t know if it’s because the soil here is more compact, but there are no obstructions or damage on the road here.

When they saw the skeleton, before Li Mengyu could move, Inumoto Saburo behind her had already run towards it quickly.

"Aya!"

He called out the name, as if the person in front of him was not a skeleton, and held it in his arms.

The skeleton didn't have to dodge either, as its pair of bony palms gently brushed over Inumoto Saburo's head.

"Sanlang..."

Although I don't know the principle, it just makes a woman's voice.

"It turns out that he can talk..."

Li Mengyu knew that what she heard when she cut off the bone claw was not an illusion, it was a pity that the guy had been covering it up until now.

"Ayane...Ayane...I found you...I finally found you..."

Li Mengyu looked away and retreated to the intersection temporarily. The man's embarrassing appearance...it's better not to be seen by others.

After waiting for about forty minutes, I had said most of what I could say and my sobbing gradually subsided.

Li Mengyu returned to the alley. At this moment, Mr. Inumoto had adjusted most of his emotions. His eyes were red, but his tears had been wiped away.

Holding the skeleton's hand.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, if it weren't for you..."

Li Mengyu waved her hand.

"It's just a coincidence, it's nothing."

"Thank you very much, Ling..." His affectionate look at the skeleton made Li Mengyu's eyes flash with sadness, "Let's go home together and return to our previous lives. I haven't moved anything... Let's..."

"Mr. Li?"

Mr. Inumoto looked at Li Mengyu who was blocking his way with confusion. At the same time, he also felt the resistance of his wife who was holding his hand.

"Don't want to? Why don't you want to come with me? Ling? And Mr. Li... why are you stopping me?! Did you threaten Ling?!"

The man's face was somewhat distorted.

"You should have noticed something, right, Mr. Inumoto?"

"what are you saying!"

"Whether it's your once healthy body turning into what it is now, or the strange phenomena the police discovered after your wife disappeared, you are only deceiving yourself. Your wife, she..."

"Stop talking! I don't care what she is! She's just my wife! Let's go!"

He did not move his wife.

Li Mengyu took a deep breath.

"You...Mrs. Inumoto, you left on your own at that time, right? Because you realized that if you continued to live with Mr. Inumoto, you might kill him."

The skeleton nodded after hearing Li Mengyu's words, confirming the fact.

Faced with Mr. Inumoto's incredulous look, she broke free from his hand.

"My guess is just a guess after all. The truth of the matter... please tell me yourself, Mrs. Inumoto."

Li Mengyu took a few steps back.

The female voice sounded again.

"I'm sorry, Saburo... I have been deceiving you. We should not have been together from the beginning."

The real name of this skeleton, the name of the monster is "Bone Girl".

She was a woman who suffered jealousy, betrayal and died tragically during her lifetime.

Over the years, the corpse turned into a pile of bones, but the obsession with the world could not be dissipated for a long time. The resentment attached to the bones and returned to the world.

According to legend, every night, the Bone Girl would hold a peony lantern in her hand and confuse men passing by on the roadside.

In the man's eyes, the skeleton is an ordinary woman with a good-looking face, but in the eyes of others, it is her original appearance.

That's why she and Mr. Inumoto moved to a more remote place.

In the legend of the Bone Girls, most of the men they seduced were dissolute men with bad conduct.

Mrs. Inumoto had also set her sights on such a man. She was waiting at the intersection for the man to pass by, but she never expected that the man had an appointment with another woman and bypassed the intersection.

Mr. Inumoto happened to pass by at that time.

She didn't want to harm him... He was just an honest clerk, so there was no need.
