Time goes back to ten minutes ago.
After Kiryu left the room, Mamiya Yuka breathed out softly.
She entered the bathroom. There were all the things needed for this ceremony in the bathtub. A stuffed bear had its belly cut open and was filled with rice.
Mamiya sewed the belly of the doll with red thread, and then immersed the doll in water: "I will be a ghost first, I will be a ghost first, I will be a ghost first."
She repeated it three times.
For some reason, after saying these words, Mamiya subconsciously felt uncomfortable.
"Is it auto-suggestion, self-hypnosis?" Mamiya tried to find a suitable reason to explain his state: "Or did I already believe in my heart that this game can really summon ghosts when I started this game?"
With all kinds of random thoughts in mind, Mamiya left the bathroom. She first adjusted the TV to snowflakes. Fortunately, it was a very old picture tube TV, otherwise she would not have seen the snowflakes even if there was no signal.
Then she turned off all other lights and appliances.
"10, 9, 8, 7, 6...1"
After silently counting, Mamiya took a deep breath and returned to the bathroom with the knife.
In the bathroom, the puppet bear was still lying in the bathtub. Because his stomach was full of rice, the puppet bear sank to the bottom of the bathtub.
So far, nothing special or scary has happened.
Mamiya took the stuffed bear out of the bathtub, stabbed the stuffed bear three times in the belly with a knife, and then repeated to the stuffed bear three times: "You will be a ghost instead."
After putting the stuffed bear in the bathtub again, Mamiya left the bathroom, entered the bedroom, opened the closet and hid inside.
Darkness, complete darkness.
Mamiya could clearly hear his own heartbeat.
I don't know how much time passed, but Mamiya's nervousness gradually eased.
"It seems this is really not a haunted house." Mamiya sighed softly. Although he was afraid of seeing ghosts, he would feel regretful if he knew it was a false urban legend.
"Squeak~"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
"Is it Kiryu?" Mamiya was confused. The only one who would open the door and come in at this time was Kiryu.
Although Mamiya was unhappy that Kiryu interrupted her "hide and seek" game, she was also sure that nothing would happen, so she was not as angry as she imagined.
There were noisy footsteps, like someone running quickly in the room, and the sound of things being turned over.
"Not Kiryu?" She suddenly thought of a possibility.
The hide-and-seek game really comes true!
She subconsciously covered her mouth.
The noisy footsteps have reached the bedroom.
With curiosity, Mamiya slowly raised his hand towards the closet door.
"Just open a gap and take a look!" She pulled at the closet door tremblingly.
A little, just a little!
The heartbeat stopped at this moment, for fear of attracting the other party's attention.
The closet door is open, there's no danger!
Mamiya breathed a sigh of relief.
"Suddenly, it's so quiet." She approached the gap in the closet in confusion, closed one eye, opened the other, and looked out through the gap.
The faint moonlight filtered through the window, keeping the bedroom from being so dark that it was completely invisible.
Through the gap, she saw an eyeball. The other person also leaned in front of the closet and looked into the closet with one eye open!
"Got you!"
Mamiya's heart was beating violently, and she wanted to scream, but she covered her mouth faster with both hands.
Absolutely, no screaming!
"No, I should scream at this time to ask Kiryu-kun to save me, but if I make a sound, it might be dangerous!" Mamiya was struggling with whether to shout for help or to follow the rules of the game and resolutely not make any sound. sound.
The eyes outside the door were expanding and turning red.
A withered hand reached into the closet, grabbed the door, and yanked it open.
Mamiya's eyes widened and his pupils shrank. He just covered his mouth with both hands and pushed his body hard into the corner, eager to get further away from the door.
absolute! Absolutely no sound.
But the terrifying sight in front of her pushed her to her limit and she couldn't hold on any longer!
Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and the terrifying figure disappeared.
"Phew!" Mamiya breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know what happened, he should be safe for the time being.
There were footsteps again.
Was it just an appetizer?
Mamiya slammed the closet shut and covered her mouth. This time she didn't even dare to open another gap.
"Mamiya-san?" The voice that came from Kiryu's class was: "Come out."
"Mamiya Yuuka?"
Seeing that the closet door was not open, Kiryu shouted again.
Mamiya finally slowly opened the door.
"Senior Kiryu, why are you here?" Mamiya asked. When she looked up, she found that Kiryu Ichiu was holding the stuffed bear that should have been soaked in the bathtub.
"It's better to end it as soon as possible," Kiryu said. "I met an old woman outside. She said that the woman living here was not killed at all, but moved."
"Huh? Moving?"
Mamiya got out of the closet. Only her body type could easily get in: "I knew it!"
"What's the last step?" Kiryu handed the puppet to Mamiya Yuuka, and Mamiya took the puppet bear. She took a sip of salt water and sprayed a big mouthful on the puppet bear: "I won, yes I won, I won!"
"Then burn it and that's it," she said.
Although the apartment is small, it is fully equipped and has a dryer. Although it is an old-fashioned appliance, there has been no short circuit accident during use.
While using the dryer, Mamiya said, "Junior, I just saw a terrifying figure. He should be the spirit attracted by the hide-and-seek game."
It was just a mental shock that made Mamiya unsure whether what he just saw was an illusion seen through self-hypnosis or a real spirit.
"But I still have to thank you. If you hadn't appeared in time, maybe I would have died." Mamiya turned to Kiryu and said with a smile.
"Know the danger, and don't play such dangerous games again."
Just now, after Kiryu determined that something was wrong in the room, he pushed the door open and rushed in. Then he picked up the puppet in the bathroom. The moment he picked up the puppet, all the weird sounds disappeared.
Outside the apartment, the pair burned the puppet.
After everything was over, it was already five o'clock and it was already dawn.
"I didn't sleep well all night. I will definitely doze off in class today." Kiryu said helplessly.
But when he touched the envelope given by Zhonggong in his pocket, he was really embarrassed to complain. Everything was done to serve customers.
After parting ways with Mamiya Yuuka, Kiryu took the subway back to school.
Kiryu was listless all day, and couldn't help but catch up on some sleep during class. Until school ended in the afternoon, Kiryu received a call from Mamiya Yuka.
"Junior!"
"Have you read the latest reports?"
Listening to the energetic voice on the other end of the phone, Kiryu really wanted to ask, was he the only one who stayed up late last night? Why am I so tired and listless?
"I'm in school, how can I have time to read reports?"
"It was the apartment where the two of us lived together yesterday," Yuka Mamiya said, "There was an accidental fire today. It seems that it was because we used old electrical appliances last night."
"Then you have to be lucky that we left early, otherwise we would definitely have to pay compensation." Kiryu said.
"Hehe~" Yuka Mamiya said: "The most important thing is that after the police put out the fire, they found a male mummy, which was sealed under the floor for at least ten years!"
"You mean...?" Tongyu had a guess in his mind.
"Hmm! I'm afraid the rumor back then was wrong. It wasn't the woman who was being followed that was killed, but that woman who killed the man who was being followed and sealed the body under the floor." Yuka Mamiya guessed: "That's why she Move in a hurry.”
"The terrifying figure I saw last night should be the murdered male."
