"A ritual to see spirits?"
Kiryu stopped opening the lunch box: "What ceremony?"
"It's called a game of hide-and-seek." Mamiya said mysteriously: "It is said that this is the best way to see spirits. Do you want to join us?"
"No need." Kiryu shook his head immediately. He was not going to cause trouble with Mamiya Yuka. Although Kiryu didn't think there was a spirit in this place, it was always right to be cautious just in case.
"Please" Mamiya motioned Kiryu to continue eating the bento.
"What kind of game is that one-person hide-and-seek game you're talking about?" Kiryu asked.
Eating someone else's lunch can't be too dull right now, and he could also see that Mamiya seemed to want to talk.
As expected, after hearing his inquiry, a smile appeared on Mamiya's face.
"It's a very simple, yet very scary game!"
She introduced excitedly: "First of all, you need to prepare a doll with hands and feet, a knife, rice, salt water, and red thread! The first step is to empty the doll's belly, and then fill the doll's belly with rice. Once it’s full, sew it up with red thread.”
"Then the ceremony begins, or the game begins! The time must be late at night."
"Fill the bathtub with water, then immerse the doll in the water, say three times that I will be a ghost first, then leave the bathroom, turn on the TV, and adjust the TV to a snowflake with no signal."
Mamiya talked about it in detail. It seemed that she had simulated it countless times in her mind before actually taking action.
"Then turn off the lights, close your eyes, and count in your mind, then go into the bathroom again with the knife, pick up the doll in the bathtub, say "I found you" to it, and then stab the doll three times. knife."
"After putting down the doll, say to the doll three times: You will be the ghost."
"After leaving the bathroom, find a place to hide. The best place is the closet." Mamiya said very seriously: "Remember, you must not make a sound or go out!"
After saying this, Mamiya's expression became very serious. She approached Kiryu and said quietly in a horrifying tone: "If you can't help but make a sound, you will see a very terrifying scene!"
Kiryu's expression did not change. He was immersed in eating and just looked at Mamiya politely without stopping to stuff his mouth.
"Hey, don't you feel scared at all?" Mamiya asked boredly.
"What happens next?" Kiryu asked.
Mamiya also lost interest in telling ghost stories. Telling ghost stories was interesting because he could enjoy the feedback from the audience. Kiryu, who obviously only knew how to eat, was not a qualified listener at all.
"As long as you can persist until there is no sound outside, then leave the closet and go back to the bathroom, spray the doll with salt water, say "I win" three times, then dry the doll and burn it, the game is over."
Seeing Kiryu stop eating, Mamiya immediately said: "I have investigated some information. Indeed, in the records of Onmyoji, it is said that dolls can easily provoke spiritual bodies, and salt water does have the ability to exorcise evil spirits. The overall credibility of the statement is very high.”
"I don't recommend you play this game," Kiryu said, "You might get into trouble."
Precisely because this whole game is "logically self-consistent" and well-spoken, he does not recommend Mamiya Yuuka to continue this game. Even if there is no ghost, it is easy to scare yourself.
The power of brainstorming is terrifying.

[Target: Folklore intern (Personal practice is far more convincing than denial) Reward: 100 learning points]
Kiryu Yishi was not sure before, but now he is completely sure that there is definitely something wrong with this game!
"Then will you come, junior?" Mamiya said.
"No, you'd better do it." Kiryu immediately shook his head, saying that he would rather not learn anything from him.
Chou Yin is the direction of the gate of hell, so Mamiya Youxiang chose the time when Chou Yin alternates to start the game, which is 3 o'clock in the morning.
After eating, Kiryu found a place to lie down, thinking about how to deal with that monster Misaki.
Otherwise, let's just sink her body in Tokyo Bay. I just hope she is not a monster like Tomie.
"The furniture is really old," Yuka Mamiya exclaimed, "There is even a VCR."
Big-head televisions and video recorders were all "popular home appliances" in the last century. Nowadays, everyone uses mobile phones and computers, and even the computers they buy no longer have optical drives installed. The development of the times has gradually made many things obsolete.
"There is actually a video tape inside," Mamiya said curiously, "Why don't we play it and take a look?"
Before Kiryu could stop him, the video tape was playing.
Snowflakes rolled across the TV screen, and then a man's figure appeared. He was facing the camera, in a trance, and looked very abnormal.
He just stood motionless in front of the camera until the video ended.
"He should be the stalker who killed the female tenant living here." Yuka Mamiya moved closer to Kiryu: "It's really scary."
"If it's scary, just turn off the TV."
Kiryu was a little helpless, he was really addicted to food.
Time passed by, Kiryu yawned and slowly fell asleep.
Jingle Bell! Jingle Bell! !
The alarm clock on his mobile phone suddenly rang. Kiryu opened his eyes and found Yuka Mamiya lying next to him. She also happened to be awakened by the alarm clock, and the two looked at each other.
Mamiya Yuxiang yawned, sat up and stretched: "It's already two forty, junior, it's time to start."
"I'll wait outside the door," Kiryu said, "If anything happens, just scream."
"Um"
Bang!
Kiryu closed the door and let out a breath.
"Huh~"
Suddenly, he saw the light of a flashlight outside.
Is anyone still up at this hour?
After observing carefully for a moment, Kiryu discovered that the other party did have a shadow under the light. It should not be a ghost or something like that.
He walked over and found that it was an older man.
But he was still wandering around outside at this time. Even if he wasn't a ghost, he might not be a human being.
"Hello," Kiryu said proactively. He has long been accustomed to striking first. If the other party is really not a human being, it would be very dangerous if the other party strikes first.
When he got closer, Kiryu realized that the other party was just sorting out old cardboard boxes.
It seems that he is an old man who does not live a very prosperous life. In his previous life, he often saw some old people digging through trash cans late at night.
It seems that they are really human.
The old man looked up at Kiryu, waiting for Kiryu's next words.
"Uh" He was a little embarrassed and too embarrassed to turn around and leave directly, so he pointed to the room rented by Yuka Mamiya behind him: "Excuse me, have you heard the story about that apartment? I heard that a woman died in that apartment. "
"Dead people?" The old man shook his head: "I have lived here for decades and I have never heard of it."
The old man thought for a while and said, "Oh, that's what you're talking about! A man followed the woman back, and it made a big fuss."
"Yes, that's it" Kiryu nodded.
"I know this for sure," the old man said. "That man was a bit of a psychopath and always stalked her, so she couldn't bear it and moved away. No one died at all."
"moved……"
Kiryu breathed a sigh of relief.
At the end of the investigation, the urban ghost story is most likely a lie.
I just don’t know if Mamiya Yuka will be disappointed when she finds out the news.
“Let’s finish it early”
After Kiryu thanked the old man, he turned and walked back.
When he reached the door, he was about to knock on the door and go in, but suddenly he heard extremely fast and noisy footsteps inside. Yuuka Mamiya would never be able to move so fast.
"Ah! I found you!"
