Having had enough of the same three meals in the hotel, I ran to a barbecue near Ochanomizu Station alone. After replenishing his energy, he returned to the room full of motivation and sat down at his desk. It's just nine o'clock. As long as I work hard tonight, I can easily complete today's workload, and I will probably finish the manuscript tomorrow night. Tomorrow night... Well, is still very far away. It's already the sixth day of retreat for creation in this hotel in the center of Tokyo, and I don't even have a change of underwear. In order to finish the novel scheduled to be published next month on time, I had no choice but to follow the editor's instructions and stay in this room to write the remaining half of the content.

When people close their eyes, the whole world falls into darkness. But the world has not deceived us. What prevents us from discovering the truth is only our own eyelids. But can you see the truth when you open it? At this time, the man in the cabinet was holding his breath, staring at the outside world through a narrow gap with unblinking eyes. The girl on the bed seemed to realize that there was someone in the closet, but she was just surprised, and the look of terror briefly disappeared on her face. I seemed to increase her fear. The man in the closet thought secretly. But no matter how scared she was, the girl had no time to care about this. A man was trying to violate her, and the girl made a final resistance, although it was in vain.

I've always had a hard time getting over what happened on Saru Island because it was so incredible. That was in the fall of 1980. To be honest, 1980 was a really strange year for me. I encountered many inexplicable things. The most unbelievable thing was the murder incident that I personally experienced in the autumn of that year. At the beginning of autumn that year, I gradually became tired of all the simple and boring bass exercises, and my interest turned to fashionable wind instruments. Coincidentally, a friend left his Alt saxophone with me because he had to go out for a while to avoid debt, so I finally had the opportunity to learn to play the saxophone.

"There is a mountain in the north of Hebei Province. Due to its curse, villagers who are less than forty years old must hang their heads on trees and die, so it is called Diaotou Mountain. The dead remain dead and cry day and night, with a sound like the cry of a baby. Within a radius of ten miles, strangers should avoid it..." It sounds very disturbing. The frightening legend does not arouse my fear. In my eyes, such records are as groundless as "Liao Zhai", and the "Ghost Chronicles" where the article comes from should be just like "Liao Zhai", it is just a story of village ghosts. However, the editor-in-chief of the magazine seemed to be very interested and planned to send me to Jizhou to visit, find out where Diaotou Mountain is, and make a special report.

In Operation Blade, fish-like clouds cover the sky, and the dim blue sky leaks out from the gaps in the clouds. The moon passes through the clouds, bright and clear - this is the scene displayed on the screen in front of us, which is a live view of the moon taken from the earth. But in fact, we are walking through the moon's strata at this moment, and what is passing by is boundless darkness. The "Blade" we are riding on is currently the most advanced lunar geological exploration spacecraft. The spacecraft is in the shape of a shuttle, and the entire hull is made of nanomaterials, which can resist high temperature, high pressure and corrosion underground.

My uncle has a friend named Shinji Yanase. The Yanase family, if we trace its origins, should belong to a branch of the Hongjia family. Of course, that's a long way off. By his father's generation, only a palm-sized piece of dry land was left. Like most other families in the town, they were just an ordinary family. The difference is that his family no longer depends on the weather, because Yanase stayed in the city and worked in a company after graduating from a university in Osaka. Nearly ten years passed like this, and three years ago, Yanase returned to his hometown with his wife.

Six hours left - Mio Harada stared at her watch. Six hours and ten minutes to be exact. Mio quickened her pace. There was obviously more than enough time, but she always felt as if she was being urged by something. He is about to be twenty-five years old, and if rounded up, he will be thirty years old. As Mio crossed the intersection with green lights, she thought that the Shibuya business district was no longer suitable for her. It was only the end of May, and there were young people wearing short-sleeved clothes everywhere. The time that this downtown area soothed Mio only lasted six short years. Mio looked back at the downtown area. The bustling streets seem to be littered with fragments of teenage girls' youth. It was a treasure that fell out of my pocket unknowingly while running around in search of fun.

A voice sounded quietly, far away from the palace gate, where the lights were so bright that it made people's eyes dizzy. But Guan Shubai seemed to have been tapped on an acupuncture point in an instant. She stared hard, her wrist hidden in the sleeves of her wide robe trembling violently, like a patient who was about to die, without any strength left. A bright yellow figure looked even more luxurious under the heavy lights. Dozens of palace guards carefully waited on both sides. Stars surrounded him like a moon. He was handsome, tall, and outstanding. Beside him, a light pink figure stood, with white fingers, timidly but firmly tugging at his sleeve. It was like a dying drowning man trying to pull a piece of driftwood. He tried his best to hold it in his hand after all the troubles and efforts, only to find that the piece of driftwood turned out to be a highly venomous water snake.

Tables, chairs and tea were set up under the peach grove. When I passed by, I happened to see the back of a stalwart man in a green robe. He was looking at the burning beauty in front of him with his hands behind his hands. The little king carp from Shushan was respectfully accompanying me, with his bamboo flute pinned to his waist. When he saw me coming out of the woods, he hurriedly called out respectfully: "Uncle Master." Piao Yazi, who had his back to me, turned around and looked over with a pair of eyes that were as deep as a deep pool. His face was as old as before, showing a bit of vicissitude, but with the aura of a leader, he was still quite majestic. I allowed myself to smile: "Senior brother."

The corpse seemed to have a smile on its face, its eyes were slightly open, and it kept staring at Liulang. Liulang became more and more panicked, and his trembling hands kept pulling sand into the pit. Until the entire pit was filled, he stepped back and forth countless times before leaving in despair. The afternoon sun is so beautiful, shining through the leaves on the ground in dappled patterns. Chongwu passed Tongsi Bridge, Qiaoxia Village, and came to Wuzhaolong. As he walked, he thought that he could reach Hu Town in the evening, help Anjia Yuanwai kill the pigs at dawn, and then return to Longqiu after breakfast. At this time, Ding Chongwu saw from a distance that the She people were driving a huge wild boar running towards this side. In the blink of an eye, the wild boar rushed in front of him and rushed straight towards Ding Chongwu. "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" She Ren shouted from behind.

The man's face looked unfamiliar, and it was obvious that he was a first-time customer. He was about fifty years old, maybe because his liver was not in good condition, his face looked unusually dark, and his appearance was not very pleasing. However, if the barber wants to attract customers, he has to strike up conversations and socialize, so he greets them with a smile and says: You are here, please come in. "The man stared at Jin Ji's face, and then sat down in front of the mirror without saying a word. Then, he seemed a little sleepy and yawned a little. Some customers are really weird. They feel like falling asleep as soon as they step into the barber shop. This man probably belongs to this category. His hair is relatively hard and mixed with white hair.

Tokiko Saijo often came to visit me in the apartment where I lived alone at about 2 o'clock on Wednesday afternoons. Because the beauty salon where I work has a closed day on Wednesday. Tokiko is two years younger than me, already 34 years old. But he looks like he is only in his thirties. She has a delicate face and elegant temperament, especially her fair skin and duck-oval face, which often reminds people of a beautiful doll. "I haven't seen you for a week, is everything okay?" I asked, staring at the slender fingers of Tokiko sitting opposite me on his knees. I have seen the emerald ring on her ring finger many times. It does look valuable, always shining with dark green luster. Today, Tokiko wore a fitted skirt with a green background and light brown patterns, and a shawl in a fashionable style for girls.

The February morning was bone-chillingly cold. Before dawn, a figure flashed across the slopes of the Sierra Mountains. He moved gently like a ghost among the frost-covered trees. The pine needles stung his cheeks like sharp nails. He stopped, carefully pushed aside a branch and looked down the mountain. Through a gap in the forest, the dim lake surface can be vaguely seen. His eyes swept across the lake, carefully determining his position. The hut was still under the cover of night, and only a little light on the other side of the lake could be seen in the distance, like a twinkling star. That light must be at the commercial dock. His destination was not far away. The forested slopes are very steep and extend all the way to the lake shore.

In the late autumn of 1892, I had the opportunity to solve another case brilliantly with my good friend Sherlock Holmes. My wife has been in poor health recently, and I had a hard time convincing her to go to Switzerland to recuperate, accompanied by her old school friend Kate Whitney. I guess you still remember the name Kate Whitney. She appeared in the case I published before titled "The Man with the Crooked Lip". My medical business has been booming recently, which has kept me busy for several months. I really want to take a vacation to rest. But I don't want to be away from my job for too long, and I have no intention of living in the Alps for a long time. Later, I promised my wife that I would accompany her there for a short break for a week or ten days, and she agreed to come down. At that time, I had an old patient whose condition was quite serious. It was not until the end of August that he started to recover. So I safely entrusted the business to a temporary doctor and began to think about the best place to go on vacation.

It rained heavily on Sunday. A gust of wind hit, and the willow tree in the courtyard was blown down, and the willow silk whipped the wet ground. "Will this rain ever end?" Gordon Ruhle muttered. He and Maxime were standing on the porch chatting. "It's true," Maxime said with a smile, "Halbich had a date yesterday, so why didn't it rain?" "I'm sorry he didn't dare." Maximeer naturally remembered Gordon's comment about Halbig: This man has the ability to walk through a heavy rain naked without even getting a hair wet.

Torikai Matsuko, who lives about a hundred meters away from Futamiura Shrine, ran towards the shrine while shouting. It was exactly 6:05 in the morning, and there was a cold mist floating in the dark clouds of midwinter. "M-Miyaji... Miyaji-san..." Young Yamaguchi, who was cleaning the courtyard in the front yard of the shrine, saw Matsuko shouting to him breathlessly. She was wearing a sweater, suit pants, and a dirty Japanese jacket. Her expression was a little panicked. "What happened?" "Anyway, Mr. Miyaji, you have to go to my house..." Yamaguchi looked inside the shrine in embarrassment, but Matsuko went up the steps and shouted loudly.

Sachiko only realized this in March. It was a bitterly cold and gloomy afternoon. Sachiko often walked side by side with Youji in the streets with arcades and narrow shops in the city center. That day the two of them were walking towards the suburban tram terminal. Yoji is the half-brother of Sachiko's husband, Shoichi, and is twenty-six years old. He is a bachelor who is two years younger than Sachiko. Perhaps due to the nature of his job as an advertising agency producer, he is very sociable.

Sachiko has been married for more than half a year and has not yet given birth.
