Chapter 53 The Big Clock in the Room
Hiroshi Sekiya, who came to the island a year ago, destroyed everything in the inland area!
Uchino didn't know why Hiroshi Sekiya would come here, but people who come here must have some unspeakable reasons.
The same applies to the infield.
My girlfriend and I have reached the point of discussing marriage, but she claims that her parents' company is having financial problems.
To show his sincerity, Uchino gave all his money to his girlfriend, but it wasn't enough, which ultimately led him to embezzle public funds.
Although his parents eventually helped Uchino pay off his debts, they severed their parent-child relationship with him.
Disheartened, Uchino sought comfort from his girlfriend, but she had also vanished without a trace.
At this point, Uchino realized he had been deceived by the beautiful woman, but it was too late to undo what had happened.
In her despair, Uchino, who no longer trusted women, met the Little Needle Master. The Little Needle Master was like a god to Uchino, becoming the only person she could trust.
Uchino was among the first group of people to follow Little Needle Master, and Terao was also in the same group.
On this free and unrestrained island, Uchino's job is to grow potatoes.
Because of the lack of pressure and her admiration for the Little Needle Master, Uchino felt like she had regained her lost life.
Just as Uchino was thinking this, that woman, Naomi Maki, appeared.
Naomi Maki is very similar to Uchino. When she first arrived on the island, she also looked depressed, but after half a year, Naomi Maki regained her vitality.
Uchino's love for Naomi Maki stems from potatoes.
Due to Uchino's mistake, many of the potatoes he planted withered and died. When Maki Naomi learned of this, she comforted Uchino, who was crying with his head in his hands, in the field.
Naomi's radiant smile against the light made Uchino feel that she was completely different from other women; she was simply an angel!
And so, the seeds of love sprouted in Uchino's heart!
But Hiroshi Sekiya's arrival ruined everything!
Naomi Maki tries to redeem Hiroshi Sekiya with the intention of doing so, but she ends up getting closer and closer to him!
These days felt like an eternity for Uchino, but when he thought of what Little Needle Master had said—that jealousy could turn a person into a devil—Uchino could only endure it.
Unfortunately, Naomi Maki and Hiroshi Sekiya were accidentally caught by Uchino in an intimate moment inside the house.
The infielder lost control of his emotions!
He no longer believed in the Katrina Sutra, nor in the Little Needle Cult.
He wanted to kill Hiroshi Sekiya because Hiroshi Sekiya had stolen his goddess!
Uchino, posing as a caring older brother, tricked Hiroshi Sekiya into coming to the sanctuary and invited him to read the "Katrina Sutra." But he already had a pistol in hand; if he killed him, Naomi Maki would fall in love with him!
With these thoughts in mind, Uchino pulled the trigger.
They opened the window and made it look like Hiroshi Sekiya had committed suicide.
Jiang Liumei felt that the story was a bit strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.
However, if you were to ask Maijo Kyosuke now, you'd probably have to wait and see his smug expression.
Why not read it all at once? Maybe after reading it all, you'll understand what's really going on!
Jiang Liumei was thinking this way, unaware that Mai Chengjingjie had already fallen asleep at his desk after working on his manuscript all night.
The story in Chapter Four of "Convergence" is finally no longer about a series of shootings.
Instead, two people named McCartney and Mibukuro Sanjo arrived on the island.
Mercator is a detective of Russian and Japanese descent.
He wore an extravagant top hat, an exquisite tailcoat, and carried a long cane, looking like a comedic character straight out of an old movie, perfectly matching the style of Jiang Liumeili's "Top Hat" magazine.
Mibukuro Sanjo is a third-rate writer who is good friends with McCartney and also works as a detective's assistant.
The two had a very clear purpose in coming to the island.
The Book of Katrina, also known as the "Book of Blessings," attracted the detective Mercator.
McCarteau, of course, did not believe in such crazy talk of the dead coming back to life.
However, they learned that the "Book of Blessings" was stolen goods bought by the Little Needle Cult Leader.
Now, the daughter of the original owner of the "Book of Blessings" has infiltrated the island, intending to steal back the "Book of Blessings," while the client is worried that his daughter will be brainwashed by the Little Needle Cult Leader.
McCartney's task was to bring home the client's daughter, who was suspected of being brainwashed, and the "Book of Blessings" was McCartney's reward.
Mei-Dai knew that McCarteau was always a heartless detective, and couldn't help but worry about her client.
After all, McCarteau is the kind of person who would do anything for money.
But since McCato had already tricked them into coming to the island, they had no choice but to accept their fate.
Mercato was invited to the island by the Little Needle Cult Leader under the false identity of a master of occultism.
The reason for the invitation to the island was also quite ridiculous.
The Little Needle Cult Leader suspected that there were suspicious individuals on the island who wanted to steal the "Katrina Book," which is why he invited McCato to investigate who these suspicious individuals were.
In short, McCarteau found two clients in the same case and received two commissions.
For McCarteau, the opportunity to earn twice the reward with less than half the effort is a rare and precious thing!
Just as Midai was mocking McCarteau's greed, the island's butler, Shirakawa, pushed open the door and walked in.
Bai Shan is a middle-aged man who is 170 cm tall. He leads McCato and Mei Dai to the room of the Little Needle Cult Leader.
Along the way, McCart and Meidai whispered to each other whether Baishan was a suspicious person.
After all, he didn't call Xiaozhen "Master," but rather "Master."
This feeling led McCarteau to believe that White Mountain was not a brainwashed believer and was very likely a suspicious person.
On the island, there is another person known as Master Xiaozhen, who is the nanny Qingshan. She is a left-handed paid employee.
Soon, they arrived at the room of the Little Needle Cult Leader.
McCarteau also saw his second client, Little Needle Manying.
This guy was about five centimeters taller than the butler, Bai Shan. He didn't look like a cult leader; he looked more like a gang leader.
The Little Needle Master warmly welcomed McCartney and his companion into the Sanctuary, intending to discuss the commission in detail in this secluded place.
The sanctuary on the island has windows facing the sea, with iron bars outside the windows for security. A table is placed near the window, offering a perfect view of the seascape.
To the right of the table is a bookshelf filled with old books, all placed against the right side of the shelf, leaving a lot of empty space on the left.
The most surprising thing is that there is a large clock in the left corner of the room, about 1.5 meters tall, which completely fills the left side of the room.
Unexpectedly, the person most surprised upon seeing the large bell was not McCartney and Mikado, but rather the master of the sanctuary, Little Needle.
This large bell is usually suspended 30 centimeters above the ground.
No one knows who sneaked into the sanctuary and lowered the bell!
Jiang Liumei read half of the manuscript and finally discovered the mystery of the story, but she still didn't find the story particularly outstanding.
They even began to wonder if Maishiro Kyosuke was like he had just done.
Did you use a bunch of discarded drafts to make fun of yourself?
Jiang Liu Meili was about to ask Mai Cheng Jingjie the truth when she discovered that Mai Cheng Jingjie had already fallen asleep on the table due to exhaustion.
Looking at the thick manuscript in her hand, Jiang Liumei could imagine the exhaustion of Mai Chengjingjie, who had stayed up all night to finish the manuscript.
Thinking of all this, Jiang Liumei took off her trench coat and covered it with Maishiro Kyosuke.
Although the room in the longevity bath was not cold.
But Jiang Liumei still hoped that her clothes could bring a little warmth to Maishiro Kyosuke...
