Rebirth of Tokyo, open the wrong plug-in

"Excuse me, does your mother always have this palm-shaped scar on her body?"

Asakawa Reiko couldn't help but ask.

"Scars?" The middle-aged woman came over and was stunned when she saw the palm prints on the throat of her mother's corpse.

"Absolutely not before! But... maybe I have skin diseases because I am too old," she said.

It was just a scar in the shape of a palm, which was considered a type of skin disease. The person died of natural causes, not homicide, so there was no point in worrying about this scar.

Asakawa Reiko couldn't help but take a few more glances at the palm print scars on the corpse's neck.

If the location of the scar keeps moving up, does it mean that you will die when the scar on your chest appears on your neck?

Kiryu Yiyi, who was on the side, took a step forward and asked, "Excuse me, did Mrs. Gu Guan mention anything in particular during her lifetime?"

"Well... Actually, my mother has been a little confused since some time ago," the middle-aged woman said, "But my mother loves her grandson, my son, because my son was suddenly diagnosed with kidney problems.

I was still matching for a period of time... At that time, my mother couldn't remember anything, but she kept asking me how my child was doing. She always said that she had made an agreement with her, and said that if the match was successful, she would definitely use her.

She used her body to save the child, as if she knew she would be a successful match."

"Then what?" Reiko Asakawa asked immediately.

"Kengo has been taking care of my son in the hospital," the middle-aged woman said, "Shortly after my mother passed away, news came from Kengo that only my mother was successfully matched."

"Promise..."

After borrowing the keys to the apartment, the two said goodbye and left.

"It seems that Mrs. Furoseki also expressed her wish to that mysterious woman," Reiko Asakawa said.

If sacrificing yourself can make Yang Yi live a happy life, maybe the sacrifice is not unacceptable.

"Probably an evil god." Kiryu Yishi didn't think this kind of sacrifice was necessary: ​​"Just like Mrs. Gu Guan, even if the kidneys are successfully matched, you don't have to pay the price with your life."

To fulfill your wish, you have to give up your life. This is not an equal exchange, it is just the evil gods and monsters killing you.

While chatting, they had arrived at the door of 202 and unlocked the door.

The blood painting was still on the wooden wall. When their eyes were placed on the painting, both of them felt deep malice.

Now they all feel that time is running out. The scars from Reiko Asakawa's palms will move to her neck at some point. It may take two or three days, or it may only take one day.

"I happen to know a painter. Maybe he can help me analyze this painting." Asakawa Reiko took out her mobile phone and took a photo.

She called immediately and got a reply, saying that she could meet him now.

Driving to a coffee shop, the painter was already sitting in the coffee shop waiting.

"Hello, Mr. Maehara," Reiko Asakawa greeted the painter: "I'm very sorry to trouble you to come out."

The painter shook his head: "It doesn't matter. In fact, I just came out of my child's school. Fortunately, you contacted me today. Maybe I will move to the countryside tomorrow."

Asakawa Reiko asked: "Keiichi-kun, what's wrong with him?"

It seems that the relationship between the two families is very familiar.

"The problem of fighting among some children." The painter rubbed his forehead and could see that the situation was not as simple as he said.

The painter looked at Kiryu Yishi: "You are Kiryu-san, right?"

"Yes." Kiryu looked at Reiko Asakawa with confusion. Did she introduce herself specifically?

Asakawa Reiko shook her head.

"Haha," Maehara painter said with a smile: "It was introduced by Kirizaki-san. When we chatted before, he once mentioned that you were his disciple. I have also seen your photos."

"I see."

Unexpectedly, he was still an acquaintance of an acquaintance.

Since the three of them were not strangers, the conversation started immediately.

"This is the painting." Reiko Asakawa opened the photo album, put her phone on the table, and gently pushed it towards Maehara painter.

"It's Dark Sky!"

Almost instantly, the artist Maehara recognized the origin of the painting in front of him.

"Dark Sky? It sounds a lot like the name of God."

"Yes, it is indeed a god." Maehara painter nodded: "You must have heard of her sister, called Ji Xiangtian."

Jixiangtian is a god introduced to Japan from India. She is also called Jixiangtiannu. She is generally considered to be the god of happiness and wealth.

"The Dark Sky is said to be completely opposite to the Auspicious Sky. You can think of it as the god of poverty and disaster."

"god……"

"So, Maehara painter, how did you recognize the dark sky? Are there any other picture books?"

Because the blood painting is so abstract, even the image of the "woman" relies on association.

"No, I have never seen Dark Sky at all." The painter Maehara shook his head: "The reason why I am sure this painting is Dark Sky is because the style of this painting reminds me of a person. Painting is the transmission of human soul emotions.

Not only happiness, but also if there is despair and sadness in the heart, then the painting will give people the same feeling, and this painting has such a strong personal style."

"Which painter is it?"

"Ugetsu Soen, a female painter during World War II." Maehara painter replied: "She was a single mother who lived with her daughter. It was said that her life was very difficult. It happened that during the bombing of Tokyo, her daughter

Died in that bombing."

"Ugetsu Shuangen started painting after losing her daughter. Her paintings have a strong personal color. I have seen her other paintings, which all have a similar spiritual impact to this painting, but each painting has a different meaning.

It’s not as strong as the feeling brought by this painting.”

Ichigo Kiryu and Reiko Asakawa understood that the strong mental shock that the artist Maehara mentioned was probably the malice that the painting brought to people.

Maehara painter continued: "It is said that at the last moment of her life, she painted a painting called Dark Sky. That painting was filled with her strong despair. I didn't expect to see it here."

Maehara painter smiled bitterly.

"You don't seem to want to see this painting?" Asakawa Reiko asked.

"Yes." Maehara painter nodded: "As I said just now, the painting will carry the author's strong intention, like the legendary dark sky, which will definitely touch people's hearts. This is nothing to ordinary people.

Good thing."

Don't touch anything that is unknown. Unexpectedly, the painter Maehara was surprisingly principled. It is really surprising that such a person would be friends with the folklorist Kirizaki Suimei.

The door of the coffee shop opened and a young man walked in.

"Dad, it's time to go."

"Sorry, I have to go." Maehara said with an apologetic smile and stood up to say goodbye.

"Keichi, I have built a house in Hinamizawa. Now that I move there, I can probably move in."

The father and son left the coffee shop, their voices getting quieter and quieter.

Asakawa Reiko turned to look at Kiryu Ichijo.

"If it's really dark, I will definitely be helpless," Kiryu said. "It's just a painter's work. Since it wants to kill me, then let me know how to do it."

Worried, Kiryu called Kotaro Teshima's phone number.

"Hello, boss?" Teshima's voice sounded sickly.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"I seem to be sick and feel very unwell," Tejima replied.

Kiryu Yiyi said: "Look in the mirror immediately and see how the scar on your palm is doing."

"oh"

Teshima stood up slowly, and Kiryu Ichichi could hear him moving and the sound of the quilt being lifted.

"Boss!"

This time the voice suddenly became much more energetic.

He said in horror: "That scar has already covered the collarbone and is almost up to my neck!"
