Yukinoshita's mother was wearing a kimono, with her long hair tied up behind her head with a silver hairpin. She was dressed like a traditional noble lady. Although she was no longer young, she was well maintained, and her elegant face showed worry for her daughter.

As far as she could remember, Yukinoshita Yukino had never seen her mother show such an anxious expression, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of unreality, as if in a dream.

The more important reason is that this scene is not actually appearing in front of her eyes, but is being viewed through a projected movie screen - her consciousness is pulled into the realm of life.

That is the perspective that Lin Qi usually takes when diving in the field and peeking at the screen.

It was originally just an attempt made on Lin Qi's whim, but unexpectedly it was successful.

What this manifests in reality is Yukinoshita Yukino herself, who is sitting on a chair with her eyes blank and looking like an idiot.

The hair on his forehead was scattered in a messy manner, his expression looked very haggard, and his eyes had lost their luster.

Seeing her little daughter in this state, Yukinoshita's mother's heart seemed to be pulled up by an invisible big hand. She walked forward quickly with a distressed look on her face, gently hugged her daughter in her arms, and asked worriedly: "Yukino, are you okay?"

"I, how should I respond to my mother?" Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't bear to continue deceiving such a mother.

"Just let your consciousness go out." Lin Qi quickly stopped her from thinking, "Don't worry, if you go out now, the effect will be greatly reduced."

"But..." Yukinoshita wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by him.

"Oh, don't say but. Don't you want to see your mother worrying about you for a little longer?"

"I……"

After hesitating for a moment, Yukinoshita Yukino finally did not leave the realm of life, but bit her lower lip lightly and spoke while struggling.

"Just, just watch for a while."

……

Chapter 44: Am I the one who is wrong?

No one hates to see others worrying about them. If there is, they are just being stubborn.

"What should we do? Has she been frightened too much and has something mentally broken down?" Yukinoshita's mother stroked her little daughter's cheek, tears glistening in her eyes. She had thrown her usual dignified and elegant demeanor out of the window, and was left with only worry about her daughter.

"Take her to the hospital for a check-up right away." Yukinoshita's father squatted down and waved his hand in front of Yukinoshita Yukino, but the latter did not respond at all.

He originally wanted to inquire about the details of the case after visiting his daughter, but he didn't expect his daughter's condition to be so serious.

When she heard that she was going to be taken to the hospital for examination, Yukinoshita Yukino, who was in the field, suddenly became anxious and hurriedly asked Lin Qi to send her consciousness back.

"Actually, you can go back by yourself...don't forget to act." Lin Qi reminded.

"I, I'll try my best." Yukinoshita Yukino was not sure about her acting skills. She was not her sister Haruno.

After regaining consciousness, the dull navy blue pupils slowly came into focus, and Yukinoshita Yukino blinked.

In fact, no acting skills were needed at all. When she saw her mother's eyes sparkling with tears and reflecting her own somewhat confused face, Yukinoshita Yukino realized that no matter how she reacted, her mother would not realize that anything was wrong.

Her mother seemed like a different person. The girl found it hard to connect the beautiful woman with tearful eyes in front of her with the mother who had a stern face and was educating her seriously.

For no apparent reason, an inexplicable feeling of sadness suddenly welled up in my heart, but I also felt like all my efforts had finally paid off.

"Mother……"

Although she had always used the more formal and solemn title "mother", this time, the more intimate "mom" came out from the girl's thin lips. The voice was as light as sand slipping through fingers, and it would be missed if you were not careful.

The cry of obedience was responded to. After a moment of hesitation, Yukinoshita's mother hugged her daughter tightly, her voice choking with sobs: "Well, mom is here..."

The so-called family affection is probably like this, and it should be like this. No matter whether it is serious and rigid, or distant and indifferent, it will all melt away in the face of the true heart shown.

The scene of loving mother and filial daughter was really good. Lin Qi, who was sitting on the eaves of the Buddhist shrine with her legs crossed, rested her chin on her hand and muttered quietly, "This is really well acted, but is it a bit too much?"

After confirming that their daughter was safe, Yukinoshita's parents, who were still worried, insisted on taking Yukinoshita Yukino to the hospital for a thorough check-up.

And at this moment, actor number two, the relevant personnel arranged by the High Commissioner in the police station, appeared on the scene.

The reason why Ichichi Jiegao was able to come to the door the day after Yukinoshita Yukino reported the case was because he had a [window] and saw Lin Qi's opened curtain.

[Window] refers to special personnel affiliated with the High School who can see curses. Although these people have no combat power, they are the eyes of the High School spread across Japan. It is because of these people that the High School can accurately issue tasks to the sorcerers according to the level of the cursed spirits that appear.

Although it often happens that due to lack of manpower, sorcerers have to face cursed spirits of higher levels than themselves.

Actor No. 2 first praised Yukinoshita Yukino's calmness and courage, and then began to tell the Chiba prefectural councilor the already designed plot.

On her way home from school, Yukino Yukinoshita noticed a murderer behaving suspiciously and following the victim. After observing that the murderer was holding a weapon, she felt something was wrong and quietly followed him. At the same time, she called the police and reported the situation to the police while tracking the murderer.

Finally, he and the police came across the murder scene in the victim's apartment. However, because the scene was too bloody and cruel, he may have been mentally frightened and needed to rest for a while.

As for the identity of the murderer, a person was chosen from the death row prisoners to take the blame, and then he was tried again after hypnosis by special personnel. A series of procedural documents including the forensic autopsy report were all forged. Even if Yukinoshita's father, who was a member of parliament, went to check it himself, he could not find any problems.

I can only say that Yiji Zhijiegao is indeed a professional and trustworthy person in society.

Yukinoshita Yukino was taken to the hospital for examination by her parents. After receiving a call from her father, her sister Haruno immediately dropped her work and rushed to the hospital.

"What's wrong with Yukino?" Yukinoshita Haruno, who came hurriedly, had her chest heaving slightly, and it seemed that she had jogged all the way here after getting off the car.

Yukinoshita's parents, who were waiting outside the clinic, explained to her what had happened, but then she instinctively felt something strange.

Found a murder?

Wasn’t Xiao Xueno fine yesterday?

Yukinoshita Haruno subconsciously recalled how Yukino behaved at home yesterday. Although she did seem a little more listless than usual, she was not as absent-minded as her mother said, right? She could still make dinner and breakfast for herself.

Based on her understanding of Yukino, she could tell at a glance that she was lying. If something happened to her, she would just conceal it and not report it. It was impossible for her to stage such a plot to deceive people, not to mention that all the cases were recorded.

Am I really being too suspicious?

I am really a bit neurotic.

Yukinoshita Haruno felt that she was the one who needed to undergo a psychiatric examination.

The examination was completed quickly, and the result was naturally that there was nothing wrong, just a little fright, nothing serious.

Yukinoshita's parents finally felt relieved when they looked at their well-behaved and gentle little daughter.

"Just go back to your family home today. It's okay to take a leave from school for a while."

Mother Yukinoshita was gently straightening the collar of her younger daughter's clothes, while her older daughter, Haruno, was staring with her eyes wide open.

Is this person really my mother? When has my mother ever shown such a gentle attitude?

Why does it feel like after one night, everyone in this family has become a stranger?

No, that's not right.

With Yukino's personality, it was natural for her to step forward to stop something unjust when she encountered it, but she was just unlucky and unexpectedly ran into a murder case; although her mother was usually strict and serious, it was obvious that she would worry about Yukino when her daughter encountered such a thing.

But throughout the whole incident, I always felt that something was wrong.

The doubts that filled Yukinoshita Haruno's heart were as hard to dispel as the dark clouds that had lingered for days, but she didn't know where to start this doubt. It felt like there was food stuck between her teeth, but she couldn't find it out, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

Yukinoshita Haruno couldn't help but start to doubt.

Could it be that I am the one who is wrong?

……

Chapter 45: Freedom within sight [Two in one]

After returning to her family's home after a long absence, and having dinner together as a family, Yukinoshita Yukino returned to her room.

Although I haven't lived here for a long time, the room is still kept clean, obviously someone cleans it regularly.

Only then did she have time to deal with the messages on her phone.

I opened Line, the chat software that Yuigahama Yui had pestered me to download. Naturally, the only friend in the app was the pink-haired girl with bun-like hair.

It seems that because Yukino Yukinoshita did not go to the Service Club for lunch at noon today, Yuigahama Yui learned that she had taken a leave of absence after asking Mr. Hiratsuka.

Yuigahama-san: Xiaoxue, are you not coming to school today because you are sick?

Yuigahama-san: Or is it because you have something to deal with and can't come to school?

Yuigahama-san: I'm a little concerned about this. If Xiaoxue sees this, please message me back!

Yukinoshita Yukino felt warm in her heart, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously. She edited a message on the screen with her fingers and replied: I'm fine, things have been dealt with, and I will return to school next week.

As soon as the message was sent, it showed as read, and then Yuigahama Yui’s reply came: That’s good!

Yuigahama-san: Let's have lunch together at the Service Club next week!

Yuigahama-san: By the way, Xiaoqi asked me for your Line number and should have added you as a friend.

Three messages came in a row, almost faster than the speed at which Yukinoshita Yukino could edit a message, which made her feel ashamed.

I checked the friend request from Hikigaya and after it was accepted, he immediately sent me a message.

Hikigaya-san: A cursed spirit appeared in school yesterday.

The girl's pupils shrank and she quickly typed to ask what exactly happened.

Hikigaya-san: We were attacked in the corridor outside the Service Club. They seemed to be coming for me. There were five of them in total. They were very weak. If nothing goes wrong, they should be level 4 cursed spirits. I dealt with them all. Yuigahama was not hurt. Also, I think I have awakened the technique.

[Come for him? I see. It should be the cursed spirit that was attracted by the remnant of cursed power left by the dead fish eyed kid when he played tennis with Hayama Xiaodeng on the tennis court.]

Looking at the message sent by Hikigaya Hachiman, Lin Qi immediately guessed the reason why this guy was attacked by the cursed spirit.

Yukinoshita Yukino edited his original words and sent them to Hikigaya Hachiman, but she didn't expect that the other party seemed to be focusing somewhere else.

Hikigaya-san: Hayama-chan...Pfft! That must have been said by Lin Qi.

【Ask him what the awakening technique is. 】

Lin Qi gave orders in her mind, and Yukinoshita Yukino followed them accordingly. Her typing speed also increased as she became more proficient.

Hikigaya-san: I'm not sure either, but it seems like it can lock the target in the mirror?

[It sounds like it has something to do with space? But I can't make a judgment without seeing it with my own eyes. Let's wait and see next Monday.]

After finishing the chat with Hikigaya Hachiman, Yukinoshita Yukino deleted all the chat records between them at Lin Qi's reminder.

【Why delete? 】

This time she learned her lesson. In order to avoid her sister or other people from breaking into her room at any time, Yukinoshita Yukino communicated with Lin Qi directly through the brain channel.

[Because I feel like your sister would secretly look at your phone.] Lin Qi told the truth. He had not forgotten that he and Yukinoshita Yukino were still being remembered by her troublesome sister.

Since she has aroused Yukinoshita Haruno's suspicion, she has to be on guard. After the last lesson, Lin Qi has become much more cautious in dealing with Yukinoshita Haruno.

That woman was really troublesome. She had quick thinking, strong action, and thick skin. Even if she did something like snooping through the messages on her sister's phone, Lin Qi was not surprised at all.

【I see. 】

After thinking about it and realizing that her sister was indeed likely to do such a thing, Yukinoshita Yukino nodded in agreement.

【Speak of the devil, and he will appear.】

In the brain channel, as soon as Lin Qi finished speaking, the door of Yukinoshita Yukino's room was opened.

She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yukinoshita Haruno, wearing a thin nightgown, holding a pillow and a hair dryer, and walking in with a smile.

"I'm coming to sleep with you, Yukino~"

It seemed that she had just finished a shower. The fragrance of shower gel mixed with hot steam wafted towards her face. Her wet hair hung to her shoulders. The dripping water droplets flowed down her distinct collarbone, passed through her fair skin, and playfully drilled into the deep groove of her chest.

The nightgown was a suspender style, revealing her rosy shoulders. The thin fabric was not tight because of her raised chest. The cool summer breeze blew in from the window, gently teasing the hem of the nightgown, making people worry about the risk of catching a cold.

The hem of the skirt was below the knees, revealing two well-proportioned calves. A pair of fair little feet were clad in pink slippers. There was no brightly colored nail polish on them, and because of the water, the ten pink toes were twisting mischievously.

Yukinoshita Haruno threw the pillow in her hand onto her sister's bed, and then without further ado, she stuffed the hair dryer into Yukino's arms: "Xiao Yukino, help me blow dry my hair!"

After saying that, he pushed aside Yukinoshita Yukino, sat in her seat, and waited for his sister to serve him.

"Why do I have to sleep in the same room with you..." Although he said this, he still honestly plugged in the hair dryer and started to blow Yang No's hair.

The hot wind blew through her hair, and a delicate hand was massaging her head. Yukinoshita Haruno couldn't help but hum a song comfortably.

While enjoying the service of the cute sister, Yang Noi very naturally and calmly touched the mobile phone that her sister placed on the desk.

As for the lock screen password, it should be your birthday, right? Yukino is always so straightforward~

It took almost no effort to guess the lock screen password of Yukinoshita Yukino's phone, but before the screen was unlocked, the temperature in my head became abnormal.

"Ah tang tang tang!"

Yukinoshita Yukino held the hair dryer in the same position for a while, and Haruno let out a cry as if begging for mercy.

Just as Mr. Parasite expected, my sister is really dishonest!

After giving Yukinoshita Haruno a slight punishment, she snatched her cell phone from Haruno's hand.
