Chapter 3 Chapter 3 OxO…

"Eri!"

"Eri, you can see it too, right?!"

"Only you can prove that I'm not lying!"

The boy's face showed nervousness and excitement. Yuta Otsutsukota held the girl's hand in front of him tightly. Although Eri was younger than him, he felt a sense of inexplicable peace of mind at this moment.

It has been almost two weeks since that day.

Everything that happened that day seemed like a dream.

First, Rika had a car accident in front of him and her head was crushed, then a "monster" crawled out of the pool of blood beside her body. Except for him and Eri Kimoto, it seemed that no one else could see it.

No one believed him, they all thought he was just talking nonsense because he was frightened, but Yuta Otsutsukota swore that all of this was true!!

He knew it was Rika!

Rika! How did Rika become like this?

Rika is entangled with me!

Am I possessed by Rika?!

Lixiang....

When he thought of Rika's tragic accidental death, Yuta Otsutsuki could hardly hold back his nose.

The boy suddenly let go of the hand that was holding Eri Kimoto, retreated to the corner of his room, squatted down, and curled himself up into a ball. Yuta Otsutsukota sobbed and wiped away his tears with the back of his hand.

Why this happened to Rika is unacceptable.

Qi Ben Eri did not say anything, but just looked at him silently.

The person in front of me had messy black hair, and when he curled up into a ball, he looked like a timid hamster shivering. His peacock blue eyes were filled with tears, and the corners of his eyes were still red. Every time I saw him these days, his eyes were red and swollen.

Qi Ben Eri frowned, thinking that this man was still so timid and cowardly. What on earth did Sister Rika like about him? Didn't she realize that her sister was not dead yet?

My sister is still alive, she just looks different.

Although she didn't understand why her sister became like that, Eri Kimoto was not afraid at all, because she could still clearly feel her sister's breath from that big, white, cute shape. What puzzled her more than these was why she could only see her with Yuta Otsutsuka, and why her sister didn't appear in front of her alone.

Eri Kimoto showed an extremely unhappy expression and walked in front of Yuta Okkotsu.

"Hello."

"How long are you going to cry?"

Eri Kimoto pinched his chin, forcing him to look up at her, "What was that you were talking about last night? Why did your sister show up and push Mayu down the stairs?"

Thinking of what happened yesterday, Yuta Otsutsuki sniffed, revealing a look of fear and sadness. He looked at the girl with a gloomy expression in his eyes and said in panic: "I...I don't know either. Rika just appeared out of nowhere!"

Except for Eri Kimoto, who often came to him and tried to get him to work with her to study how to make Rika appear, Yuta Otsutsuki hardly went out during this period and had not seen other people. He completely locked himself in the room.

However, yesterday, she just hugged Otsutsuki Mayu who was comforting her at the stairs, but Rika suddenly appeared and shouted in a very scary way, "Don't come near Yuta——" and then pushed Mayu down the stairs.

Before going upstairs, Eri Kimoto went to visit Mayu Otsutsuki. She broke her right hand and went to the hospital yesterday to get it treated and put in a cast. When she saw herself, she smiled foolishly and waved her arm that was hanging around her neck at herself.

“....”

Qi Ben Eri felt more and more strange, because Rika-sister had a good relationship with Mayu before.

Why is she angry...is it because Mayu hugged Yuta Otsutsukota, and her sister just did as she said, because she didn't want anyone to get close to him?

Then she is very close to Yuta Okkotsu now!

Why hasn't my sister appeared yet?!

Qi Ben Eri was a little angry. She let go of her hand and squatted in front of Yuta Otsutsukota, looking straight at him: "I want to see my sister, right now."

Yuta Otsutsuki: “….”

“…”

“…”

"...How do we meet?"

With an expression that seemed to want to say something but hesitated, Yuta Otsutsukota felt like crying but was speechless. He really couldn't do what the person in front of him asked.

He knew that Eri Norimoto had also equated the white monster with Rika, but was it really normal to accept this so quickly? Ten-year-old Yuta Otsutsuki felt his head was in a mess, everything was a mess, like a ball of yarn that couldn't be untangled.

Yuta Otsutsuki had no idea that the person in front of him had a very strange and dangerous mindset.

Because Eri Norimoto completely refuses to accept the fact that Rika Norimoto is dead.

Although she could still pretend to be indifferent on the surface, she was actually thinking more about why her sister was with Yuta Otsutsuki instead of herself.

Eri Kimoto was also a little anxious about how to see her sister again, and besides this, she also discovered that something was wrong with herself during this period.

It wasn't that there was something wrong with the preparation, but she seemed to be able to see the 'ominous' thing she had seen before more clearly.

Those 'unknown' creatures are of strange shapes and sizes. Sometimes they appear in dark corners, and sometimes they stick to humans. But without exception, they don't look like good things.

Moreover, she seemed to have gained another ability.

Eri Kimoto's eyes darkened, and she wondered whether she should tell Yuta Okkotsu.

...Forget it. Although I don't like this guy, he is of the same type as me and is easy to control.

Thinking of this, Eri Kimoto stood up, walked to the door and locked it.

"What...what happened?"

Yuta Otsutsuki was startled by her more serious expression. He felt that the girl who came back to him looked at him with an increasingly unhappy and somewhat disgusted look.

Eri Kimoto did not answer his question, but lowered her eyes and carefully stretched out her hands to hold them in front of her chest, which made Yuta Otsutsuki subconsciously look at her palms.

..!

? !

Yuta Otsutsuki rubbed his eyes violently to confirm that he was not having an illusion, but that there really was a doll in Eri Kimoto's hand.

The doll that suddenly appeared in her hand was very cute. If you look closely...it actually looked more like a Q version of Eri Kimoto herself, and also like a Q version of Rika.

With shoulder-length black hair, small eyes with red pupils, and a mouth shaped like an x, the doll's expression is more like OxO's calm emoticon. Eri Kimoto slowly raised her head.

“…”

“…”

"You can see it too." Staring at the surprised expression of the boy opposite, Qi Ben Eri said this without any surprise.

Holding the doll's body with her right hand, Qiben Eri hesitated for a few seconds before continuing, "It's more than that."

Yuta Otsutsuki saw her hold the stuffed doll in front of his eyes, then let go.

But surprisingly, the doll did not fall to the ground, but... hung in the air?

No!

Wrong?!

If you look more closely, you will see that the doll's joints are wrapped with almost transparent threads that keep it suspended in the air, and the other end...that thread appears from Eri Kimoto's hand!

Yuta Otsutsuki: “?!”

Eri Kimoto's expression did not change. She just stared at the boy in front of her with his eyes wide open.

Is this shocking? But she thinks there are more interesting ways to play. If she uses him as an experiment, will her sister appear?

Do you want to try it?

...Give it a try, she won't do anything bad!

The corners of her mouth curled up, and a hint of mischief flashed across Eri Kimoto's ruby-like eyes. She subconsciously lowered and slowed down her voice. Of course, she didn't realize that at this moment, she looked more and more like her own sister when she was trying to bewitch people.

"Otsutsuki Yuta,"

Eri Kimoto leaned forward, not paying any attention to the fact that Empress Otsutsuki Yuu moved backwards subconsciously to avoid her burning gaze.

"Give me your hand."

Eri Kimoto raised her left hand and raised her eyebrows at him.

Yuta Otsutsuki immediately put his hand on it, and then he immediately realized that something was wrong.

He suddenly felt that he looked like the obedient and well-behaved silly dog ​​next door who would stretch out his paws when hearing his master's orders.

Yuta Otsutsuki wanted to say something but stopped himself, and finally withdrew his hand silently.

But Eri Kimoto no longer paid any attention to him. She was excitedly looking at the stuffed doll in her hand, so Yuta Otsutsuki also lowered his head following her gaze.

“?!”

"How does it—"

How did it suddenly change?!

She looked like a Q version of Norimoto just now, but now...she looks more like herself? ! ! !

Okkotsu Yuta is shocked!

The black-haired boy's eyes widened in shock, and he stammered, "Eri...Eri? Did you see that?! It turned into my appearance—"

The voice stopped abruptly.

The reason was that Yuta Otsutsukota covered his mouth tightly, exactly the same action as the terrified rag doll hanging in the air.

“!!!!”

Her index finger trembled, and Eri Kimoto, who was controlling the stuffed doll, laughed with great joy and whispered happily, "Interesting, isn't it?"

Yuta Otsukata used to think that the two sisters of the Qi family looked somewhat similar, with black hair, red eyes, and delicate features, but now he feels that they are not alike at all.

Rika always smiles at herself, with tenderness in her eyebrows and eyes.

Every time Eri looks at herself, she doesn't smile much. Sometimes she even glares at herself with anger, which is quite scary...

But now, Qi Ben Eri's eyes were smiling, and the corners of her mouth were raised, but it was a smile full of playfulness. Although she was smiling, it made people feel a hint of danger.

"Mm? Mm--" No matter how hard Yuta Okkotsu tried, he couldn't move his hand that was covering his mouth, which made him even more panicked, and he could actually see the same tension on that baby face!

"Shhh."

Eri Kimoto made a silent gesture to him, and then, with her face flushed, her eyes widened with excitement, and her gaze scorchingly looked up at the top of Yuta Otsutsuki's head——

There slowly appeared the hazy white shadow that she most wanted to see.
