Traveler, High School Student, Homeless

Jingle Bell--

It seemed that something sounded.

Relying on the faint light of the phone, Kamijou Touma slowly turned around.

The source of the sound was the door on the side of the living room, which seemed to be the bedroom.

Jingle Bell--

It was like the ethereal sound of a wind chime being shaken, resounding in the silent and dark world.

A strange smell began to waft, and Kamijou Touma gently pushed open the door in front of him, and what appeared in front of him was a bedroom that was almost as narrow as a cage, and a small mirror full of cracks was facing the door coming in. Nothing can be put outside a single bed, not even a wardrobe. The window on the wall behind the head of the bed has only a small place where you can barely reach out, and there is even a hole in the glass A little drafty.

This kind of rental environment is really bad to the extreme. If you live in this kind of place, it will only make the people living in it feel more and more intense pressure, right?However, for those who do not have enough ability, they often do not have the freedom to choose a better environment, and can only stay in such a narrow small house.

According to that classmate, the girl who suffered such a miserable childhood and now can only earn a living by herself, is living in this kind of world day after day, repeating the difficult life that cannot be changed?

Jingle Bell--

From the bed where the quilts were scattered, the crisp voice sounded again.

"What the hell is that sound?"

Approaching the bed in front of him, with the help of the phone's light, Kamijou Touma found the light switch in the room, pressed it twice, but there was no response.It seems that the power has been cut off in the house. If you think about it carefully, if you have not rented out the house after taking back the keys, it is probably understandable that the power will be cut off.

Stretching out his hand, Kamijou Touma gently lifted the quilt in front of him.

is a mobile phone.

A cheap-looking smartphone, the screen lights up at this moment, and it seems to be playing something.

Kamijou Touma moved a little closer and saw what appeared on the phone screen.

It was a line of text, dark red, like smudged blood.

【Would you regret even a second for your actions that hurt others? 】

"What is this?"

The boy was a little stunned, not knowing what the text was about.

The next moment, it sounded from the darkness behind him, like the sound of something sobbing softly.

"Who—uh!"

Before turning around, he was grabbed by the neck by something, and he was lifted up in mid-air.

The pain of suffocation followed the squeezed neck, causing Kamijou Touma's eyes to widen instantly, and bloodshot eyes burst out in the eye sockets.The opponent's speed was unexpectedly terrifying, even Kamijou Touma's instinctive evasion ability was too late to use, and the extremely powerful strength made the young man feel like his blood vessels and bones were about to be crushed.

The legs kicked wildly but couldn't touch the ground. The mobile phone, which was the only light source, fell to the ground. It seemed that the screen was turned off because it was broken, and the whole room was once again plunged into darkness.

【Woo... woo...】

It sounded like someone was crying sadly.

jingle bell - jingle bell -

The ethereal music is also accompanying it!

"Uh!"

The boy with wide eyes stretched out his right hand in an instant.

hum!

In the clear voice of Fantasy Killer, he felt like he had touched something like a girl's finger, which was quite silky and delicate, but was stained with viscous liquid.The strength to grab the neck disappeared at this moment, and Kamijou Touma fell to the ground suddenly, covering his already bruised neck and coughing loudly.

What was that just now?Wraith?

No, it's completely different, and it's not at all the same as the thing I encountered in the haunted house that time.

Where is the boy who came in first?He will definitely be in danger!

Touma Kamijou gasped for breath, got up from the ground, and was instantly grabbed by the neck by something in the darkness. With a loud roar, he was directly lifted and smashed against the wall behind him. The fly ash on the wall kept dancing.

One after another, things like human arms stretched out at this moment.

Before Kamijou Touma had time to grab the thing holding his throat with his right hand, a palm suddenly grabbed his right wrist, and the next second came more fingers and palms, densely packed deep, tight Hold onto the boy's hands, feet, forearms, thighs, torso, and even his head.The huge force firmly pressed him against the wall, and the force on his neck tightened more and more quickly, making the boy completely unable to breathe at this moment.

[Woo... woo...]

Weeping wailing sounded from behind those countless arms.

It seemed to smell blood, amidst the sound of something flowing.

In the darkness where he couldn't see anything, he could clearly feel the desperate gaze, as if he couldn't control himself and kept sliding into the abyss.

jingle bell - jingle bell -

Only the ethereal and eerie voice still kept ringing.

"Stop... just kidding!!!"

The colorful dragon wings burst into dazzling light at this moment, and Kamijou Touma's eyes instantly turned into vertical pupils.The air was shattered by the violent explosive force in the blink of an eye. Amidst the roar, the young man broke free from those strange restraints. At this moment, his right hand swept across his body, and wiped out all those things in the buzzing sound of Fantasy Killer.

"Ha ha……"

Finally able to continue breathing.

At the last moment, with the help of the light from the dragon wings behind him, Kamijou Touma could clearly see the things that grabbed him. It was pale, and even had arms with large and small spots. He couldn't breathe and couldn't feel it before, but now After being able to breathe, he immediately smelled an extremely bad stench.

"Corpse spot, is there still a corpse smell?"

Kamijou Touma, whose eyes were bloodshot due to the squeezed blood vessels, and whose neck was purple and even a lot of blood seeped out, lowered his head to pick up his phone.

On the bed, the phone that made a strange sound at first has disappeared now.

"Is it some kind of special ghost?"

Kamijou Touma, who was thinking like this, immediately decided to notify Jiang Ming and Virgil, but when he tried to turn on the screen, he realized that his phone was about to run out of battery and turned off.

"It was obviously charged beforehand, how could this happen?"

Never mind, let's call first.

Although there is less than 3% of the battery left, the battery of the current mobile phone is still very strong, and it is absolutely no problem to finish a call.Anyway, the signal here is fine and there is no interruption, so it should be no problem.

drop - clatter -

The call was connected faster than expected.

"Hey, is that Kamijou? Where are you? What's the matter with your dad saying that you haven't come home after school for more than an hour?"

Jiang Ming's voice rang from the phone.

I have been in this place for more than an hour?

"I'm in the xx community on xx road, and a very strange thing happened here."

Weird situations seemed to be happening one after another, Kamijou Touma didn't have time to organize his thoughts, so he could only speak to the phone quickly.

"Is something really wrong? I will let Virgil come over immediately. I have to escort a person to a safe place. There are also strange things happening here. Are you okay now? Is there any injury?" serious?"

Jiang Ming on the phone was talking in a hurry, it seemed that the situation over there was indeed not optimistic.

"I'm fine, but there's a student here, I'll go to him now, and you should pay attention to safety."

Touching the wound on his neck, Kamijou Touma, who grinned in pain, held back his cry, and then returned to the living room while talking on the phone, planning to go to other rooms to have a look.

"Well, don't worry, I've arrived, right behind you."

Then, I got such a reply from Jiang Ming.

"Hey?"

Subconsciously stopped, turned around.

Behind him is the small bedroom that he just came out of, which suffered a strange attack.With the help of the light from the mobile phone, Kamijou Touma saw himself facing the mirror at this moment, and the expressionless Jiang Ming standing behind him reflected in the mirror.

No, not Jiang Ming!

A sense of crisis circulated in the nerves along with the cold omen.

The boy bowed his head forward almost instantly, and in the subsequent cracking sound, it was the mobile phone Kamijou Touma was holding in his hand just now was smashed to pieces.

Tick-tick-tick-

The dark red liquid was slowly dripping onto the ground.

Longhua's pupils brought powerful visual ability in a dark environment. A boy who got up after rolling on the ground looked at the thing standing behind him.

A bloody, bloody thing like a skinned person, with a sticky arm covered with minced meat, holding a wooden table leg, leaving only the dark and empty eye sockets, It was as if something was spying on the boy in front of him.

【Ah... ah...】

It is no longer possible to organize a complete language, like the screams of victims recorded by a brutal killer before his death.

Something viscous fell from the ceiling, the young man subconsciously reached out to catch it, and found that it was a complete human eye with flesh and blood attached.

Tick-tick-tick-

Looking up, on the blood-soaked ceiling, there was a person lying on it, a person whose face could no longer be seen, whose human skin was slowly peeling off, blood and flesh falling down with a splash , lying on the ceiling like this, looking at Kamijou Touma who raised his head.

"Here... what kind of place is it?"

The howling wind rang in the ears.

The bloody and skinless man rushed forward suddenly, and swung the arm holding the table leg down violently.

At this moment, the boy dodged sideways, his footsteps moved to avoid the attack track in an instant, the table leg smashed against the wall amidst the shattering sound, directly smashed a hole in the concrete wall, and the table leg itself shattered with a crackling sound. open.

Boom!

The next moment was Kamijou Touma's fist, which sent the thing flying and fell into the pile of clothes.As if a randomly assembled toy had been attacked, the bloody and skinless man fell apart directly, and flesh and blood no larger than the size of a finger fell all over the ground in an instant.

"Didn't... trigger my right hand?"

Kamijou Touma looked at his blood-stained right hand in a daze.

There is nothing wrong with that blow just now, but the increased physical strength after the dragon transformation just knocked him into the air.

This thing has no ability to trigger Fantasy Killer at all, that is to say, this thing is not made of supernatural power.

This is the corpse of a...real human being...

"Just kidding?"

An apparently ordinary day was completely overwhelmed by a terrifying and weird situation at this moment.
