Chapter 592 Extra Story: Diary of the Old Mayor 2 (Version A)

   Heavy snow on Monday, December 24, 2012

  Today is Christmas Eve, a night that should have been reunited with the family.

   Unfortunately, I have no family anymore.

  Before going out, I picked up the cold knife and put it in my pocket, just because Bruce invited me to the old castle to attend the dinner he held.

  Inviting me to dinner?

   Oh, this is really a very funny thing.

   Rather than saying it is Christmas Eve, it is more appropriate to say it is Night of No Return.

  Bruce and I used to be best friends.

  But today, it was you who wanted to kill me, and I wanted to kill you.

   Bruce.

   The plum porridge you prepared for me is very sweet.

   But certainly not as sweet as your own bowl.

  We used to have such a good relationship, so if I drink your plum porridge and you drink mine, it shouldn’t be too much, right?

   Bruce.

  You may never understand how I feel right now.

  Watching my family members die, and watching my friends die.

  How could you possibly understand?

  Your son is still alive.

  Your wife is still alive.

  The culprit who caused these things is still alive...

   Bruce.

   I think I'm going crazy...

  In my dreams recently, I often heard a sharp and piercing voice...

  Recently, there have been many strange strangers in the town.

  They seem to be investigating something.

  I saw them chatting with merchants along the road, chatting with pedestrians on the road, and saw them go to the old castle...

  But these have nothing to do with me.

  Because starting today, I am no longer the mayor of the silent town.

  Friday, May 8, 2015 Sunny

  I've been having nightmares lately.

  Dreaming about those who died by my knife.

   Every time I think of them, I always hear a shrill voice in my ear.

   It will tell me some rules.

   It will ask me to play by these rules.

  I hid in the audio-visual store, and I tried not to contact the outside world.

  But... it doesn't seem like it intends to let me go...

  Sunday, September 23, 2018 Overcast

   I haven't left the video store for a long time.

   I haven't met anyone I'm familiar with for a long time.

  Maybe it’s because the life in the video store is too lonely. I couldn’t bear it today. In the dead of night, I walked to the street of a quiet town.

   I look forward to seeing some familiar people.

   But afraid to see some familiar people.

  This feeling of apprehension accompanied me, and I unknowingly walked to the small road to the castle.

  The flowers that were planted here before are gone now.

   Instead, there are barren weeds.

  I don't know why I came here out of nowhere.

   Maybe it's because too many people I'm familiar with are buried here.

  I would have liked to stay here a little longer.

   But, I saw Jim.

   In the past few years, he should have had a bad life.

  Maybe many nights over the years, he couldn't sleep, and often came here to see his wife.

   Otherwise, his originally thick hair would not have become so sparse.

  I don't want to bother him, and I don't want him to see me.

  I can't get peace of mind, but I hope he can.

   On the way back, I saw a window seemed to open inside the castle.

  Inside the window, a figure floated by.

  At that time, I almost rushed over and opened the window to see if the mother and child had returned.

  If I didn't have a little sanity, I really want to do this.

  Time seems to have no end, every day passes very long.

  If it weren't for the habit of keeping a diary, I might have forgotten how long time has passed.

  I still walk alone on the streets of a quiet town in the middle of the night.

  At this time, there is no one else, only me, with Silent Town.

  I don't need to see people, I just need to see every plant and tree here, and then I can imagine for myself what might have happened in the town today.

  Last week, there was an additional decoration shop on this street.

  This week, there is another bakery opposite the decoration store.

  The children in the small town should have grown up gradually.

  It’s time for them to start their own business too.

  My record store is hidden in a remote alley in a quiet town, and few people come to take care of it.

  But today, a strange young man came.

  He was wearing a very elegant suit with a brooch pinned to it, and he looked like a child from a rich family.

   Although he looks nothing like Bruce, and his eyes are not blue.

   But I did have Bruce in my mind when he showed up.

   At first, I thought he was just a lost stranger.

   It wasn't until he asked me about the "Jingle Bells" record that I realized something wasn't quite right.

   I don't want to sell him this record.

   Because of that screeching sound, I hope I can sell him the record.

   It requires me to follow the rules.

   But I don't.

  Although I don't know what it is, I know that it is definitely not a good thing...

   Sunny on Monday, December 19, 2022

   Violating the rules again made my health worse and worse, so bad that it was even difficult to walk.

  However, I still have to walk, because I have to go to the old castle to take a look and see if my guess is true.

   On the way to the castle, far away, I saw lights lit up there.

  I don't quite remember how long the castle has not been lit.

  After Bruce passed away, it seems that someone lived in the castle.

   But that person was not very courageous, and he was scared away after not staying for long.

   At that time I still wanted to laugh at him.

   It's just some graves, so what's there to be afraid of?

  However, when I was hiding in the grass and saw a long-haired woman jumping out of the kitchen window, I realized that the person who should be laughed at the most was me.

   She is not dead! She has been hiding in the castle!

  And I actually let her live for so many years.

  The young man came to me again, and brought a pen and paper, for fear that I might not be able to hear what he was saying.

   At that moment, I was actually a little flustered.

  Because of his behavior, I was directly forced to express my attitude.

  I waved to him, as if seeing off a guest.

   And in his leaving eyes, I can guess that he should have doubted me.

  After last night, I already know that he is the latest owner of the castle.

   If I want revenge, going through him should be a good choice.

   But, I haven't figured it out yet...

   This is not an easy decision.

   Sunny Thursday, December 22, 2022

  I took the record and sat in front of the record store, waiting for the young man to come over. I have been waiting for two days.

  I still can't let go of the hatred.

  I can't just watch the people who caused all these tragedies live in this world.

  Even if I end up becoming its puppet, it doesn't matter.

  I just want the guilty person to pay the price she deserves.
