"Maki, I'm done with my work? Do you know? There is a new curry shop open at the station today. Let's go eat together at noon?"

On the way to the locker room, my colleague and friend next door greeted Maki and sent an invitation.

"Yes, I'm done with it... I'm sorry, I'm a little tired now, I'm afraid I can't go, but thank you."

However, Maki could only politely refuse her kindness and smiled very reluctantly.

"That's true, so, you really need more rest now... Did you go to bed late last night, or did you get up too early today?"

The other party looked at her carefully, and then found that although her dark circles seemed not very obvious at first glance, the makeup artist cleverly used his makeup to hide the past.

"By the way, I remember you probably had a turnover yesterday, right? Why did you come back so early today?"

Facing the question of his friend, Maki could only smile bitterly, and answer the other person's questions while walking into the women's locker room:

"There are both. I thought I could rest in the next few days. I didn't fall asleep until three o'clock in the evening. As a result, I received a call from a director at around four o'clock and could only come directly..."

"That's how it's really hard... But I don't know what's going on yet. Is there any emergency that needs to change?"

The other party stood next to Maki, opened the cabinet door and took out the clothes, and asked casually.

"It should be true. It is said that the content recorded last night cannot be used. It needs to be changed and add some other news information..."

At the end of the conversation, Maki couldn't help but yawn long, and crystal tears squeezed out of the corners of her eyes. She felt that her upper and lower eyelids were about to fight.

She complained: "I think my skin is going to get worse again, so, it's really abominable enough, can't they understand others' difficulties a little?"

The heavy fatigue and sleepiness made Maki just want to go back and have a good sleep as soon as possible.

Therefore, it is impossible to have any thoughts to wait until noon and then go to the new curry shop at the station with your friends for dinner.

"Haha, in fact, it may not be possible to blame the director. I heard before that it seemed that at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, a black suit and a sheriff came over..."

My friend couldn't help laughing.

Then while she put on a gray women's uniform, she talked about the news and speculations she heard-

"There may be no way for the Taiwan people to do so. This is likely to be a request from the police, or is there any secret department or something?"

"Who knows, it's just that I temporarily asked to insert the changed content, so it doesn't look like some urgent news." Maki recalled the recording just now, and then frowned.

It’s just a few trivial matters, and if you’re suffocated, it’s just a gang conflict, a motorcycle party’s racing accident, a vicious robbery and so on.

It is not even considered a serious casualty and has an extremely bad impact.

Is it necessary to spend so much effort?

But she didn't think much about it, because her friend had already talked about another topic, and she was still emitting obvious displeasure at the same time:

"Speaking of this, my mother is urging me to get married again... This is the third time this week. Really, what are she worried about! Am I very old?"

"Well, after all, you're about thirty..." Maki put his phone into his small handbag, and then gave his friend a ruthless and knowing blow.

"Woo...this is too much--wait, by the way, Maki, you seem to have said before that you have a younger brother?"

"Yes, but don't think about it. He is only sixteen years old now and is still a rebellious little brat... and he seems to have someone he likes now, although I don't think they will like him."

Maki said lightly. When she said this, she couldn't help but remember the girl she had seen last night. It was said that she was still a witch?

But it shouldn't be a witch, otherwise even if you can fall in love freely, you don't seem to be able to get married. You can only be the man who has to intervene in the family.

But it's useless to think about this. If there is hope, she will certainly be happy to see it. However, in fact, she and her mother agreed that the girl could never look down on her rebellious middle-aged little devil.

...

...

After more than forty minutes.

Maki returned to her home again. She walked a little shaky and almost fell asleep on the train.

"Maki, I'm back... Thank you so much for your hard work. Although you are very tired, I'd better eat something before going to rest?"

"Ah, thank you..." She responded weakly, then sat on the sofa in the living room, trying hard to keep her eyelids from closing completely.

My mother was busy in the kitchen, and she was the only one in the living room. In the quiet, there was only the sound of cooking in the kitchen and the sound of the on-screen TV, which played a very good hypnotic role.

Slowly, her eyes became more and more hazy, until she suddenly heard a few familiar lines, she suddenly woke up.

The morning news program of a certain channel was playing on the TV. She suddenly frowned and grabbed the remote control and changed it to several units... and then found something that seemed to be suspicious.

Can those news information that sounds completely unimportant are really important and require the implementation of all-round news control and information correction?

What is the official hiding?! Is it attracting people's attention to cover up other problems, or is it embellishing some things into something that makes people uninterested in order to understand, and actively throwing it out to get away with it?

With her professional sensitivity, she felt that she had vaguely grasped the key, then took out her mobile phone and searched the Internet, and then couldn't help but frown.

She found many hot posts about what happened last night, including one post that she had inexplicably palpitations last night and was afraid for some reason, which made it thousands of stories high, and countless people echoed.

I don’t know if it was the essence of human beings as repeaters exposed, or if it was really serious, but it seemed that it was the latter.

There are also some posts that describe the poster who seemed to have seen something weird last night, some said it was a monster, some said it was an evil spirit, and some said it was a stern speculation that the monster might really exist-

And try to connect the evidence of their existence with various recent weird anomalies.

But after all, there is more logic behind the scenes, and there is no real evidence to show off. So except for a few people who agree and support them, and say that they have seen it, more people are just ridicule.

It seems that most people think this is just a rumor.

This is too ridiculous, who would believe this kind of thing...

She put down her phone helplessly and tried to convince herself that she was thinking too much. How could those things exist? People who believe in it are brainless!

Although no matter what the matter is or how much evidence is, as long as the government wants to deny it, it is impossible to look at such a thing.

Sure enough... for her nowadays, the most important thing is to go and rest first. Perhaps because she is too tired, her mind is not working well, so she has such suspicious thoughts.

In this way, she didn't think about it anymore, but she quickly went back to her room to rest.

…………

Time is like a stream, always moving forward without being transferred by anyone's will.

The sun quickly got up from the east, slowly moved across the middle sky, and finally slowly set from the horizon in the west.

The time of day passed like this, but night had not yet arrived yet.

…………

Rumble~~~

It seemed like a vibration from the depths of my heart, it seemed that the whole world suddenly shook!

"Is that... an earthquake just now?"

Suddenly he woke up from his sleep. Maki looked at the ceiling in a daze, and after a while he remembered that this was his room.

She sat up with her forehead and moaned in a low voice like a headache. She just couldn't tell whether it was in a dream or in reality. She seemed to suddenly feel a powerful impact...

Or is it a vibration?

At this moment, Maki's sleepiness was gone, or it disappeared in an instant. A strange throbbing made her care very much, wanting to know what was going on.

That's right, she was sure that it was definitely not her own illusion, something must have happened.

The family was empty for some reason, and there was no one. The sudden and vivid sense of loneliness made the mature woman stunned for a moment. She suddenly felt as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.

She walked out of the house with her lips pursed and found that it was evening, the sun had already set and the night had not yet fallen.

At dusk, the moment of demons—

It is said that this is a cursed time, and all evil spirits and ghosts will appear in the sky at this time. When the outline of this world becomes blurred, you can see non-human things, also known as the time of demons and the time of lonely falling.

And those who walk alone on the road will be confused and lose their souls...

Such an idea flashed inexplicably in my mind. Maki glanced at the residential streets on both sides, and then suddenly felt a creepy feeling.

There is not a single person, and it seems that the whole city is too quiet.

Where are the people going? Are there any activities at this time?

Not to mention where my family went, even the residents of this entire street evaporated mysteriously at the same time? It even felt that they were the only ones left in the entire city?

Her inexplicable panic and fear made her suffocate.

I dare not at this moment, some strange sound suddenly came from nearby. It sounded a little noisy when I was careful, but it was also very familiar!

It seems to be the voice of the family!

The woman suddenly felt that she could breathe again and her movements recovered. Without any hesitation, she turned around and ran quickly in that direction.

The nearby shrine, Torii, Sando, appeared in front of him, and the noisy sound became clearer and clearer. Maki could hear it was his younger brother's voice. He seemed to be talking loudly excitedly.

She quickly accelerated her pace and shouted—

"Youye! What's going on? What are you doing!"

“…”

“…”

The field calmed down for a moment, and Maki, who was running over quickly, held her knees and took a breath, and then she could take a closer look at the scene.

She found her younger brother standing aside, blushing and extremely excited, while she had already changed into the original witch costume, and Chibaya in the shrine was standing on the other side.
