K-type Mage

"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the door, and a slightly hoarse female voice sounded from outside.

"Guest, what happened? Why don't you come down?"

Yuan Shen had already changed places with the young people at this time, and was standing by the door at the moment. He laughed when he heard the voice, opened the door, and said in a gentle voice, "It's okay, I'm just discussing the following matters."

"I'm sorry for asking you to come and see it." The black-haired young man smiled in a very friendly manner, "Let's go down now."

The maid covered her face and even her eyes were shaded, she lowered her head and said in a low voice, "You are too polite."

She turned and walked towards the stairs.

Yuan Shen held the door and looked at her back, blinked, a sad expression flashed away, and quickly returned to calm.

He has a good memory.Every single thing can be dug out from the pile of old papers in memory, including the too long [spectacle] that does not even have the concept of time.Nyarlathotep threw his spirit into the world full of life and death, forcing him to be powerless again, to see the lives of countless lives...he never forgot.

This hotel looks like a horror movie, but it happened in a certain world and in a certain past.At that time, Yuan Shen could only watch, and after leaving [Onlooker], he could no longer find those worlds that had come to an end.

He took a step.

"Come on, you two."

……

They just stayed on it for a while: Genbuka's narration was very brief and to the point.But something happened in the hotel lobby.

The crying girl went to the bathroom alone, but when she was found, she fell in front of the sink, her head soaked in the sink, and drowned.

The ordinary people who doubted Yuan Shen fell silent, frowning and looking puzzled.

The young man who carefully restrained the corpse stood by the window in the hall, opened the curtain and looked out at the rainy night through the glass.

The hall lights flickered.Perhaps because of the heavy rain, the old hotel was damaged by the infiltration of water, and the wind was also strong, whistling like the howling of a grieving ghost.

The temperature dropped at some point, the hall was empty, and the temperature was the same as that of the outside world, but if you looked closely, there were ice flakes on the glass windows inch by inch.

Yuan Shen looked down at these things that indicated low temperature, and raised his hand to touch it. The moment his fingertips touched it, it was like a fire approaching, and water droplets fell down.

No one dared to leave alone.But he shivered again because of the low temperature, his face turned pale.

Xia Youjie glanced at the young man by the window.The other party is consciously reducing their sense of presence, and compared to when they first came here, they are much quieter.

The other party didn't go into too much detail about what happened in this hotel. "I think it's a valuable thing-even if it's revenge after everything is over." He said, "In fact, knowing the background doesn't help now, the ending only one."

But he still said it.

"Don't doubt the maliciousness of human beings. Everyone in the tour group, including the tour guide and driver, is a beast that shouldn't live."

The curser focused his eyes on the maid standing there silently. The boss called her Masako. She was always covered and had a strange gloomy aura.But it is indeed alive...

"Even if it's a projection, at this time, all people are alive."

So who would kill people in such a weird and unnoticed way?

Yuan Shen kept silent about this.

Gojo Satoru focused more on the ordinary people who had suspected Yuan Shen before, the hair on his forehead was too long, and he was wearing a hat because of the low temperature.His eyes fell on the other person's forehead, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was a bit wrong to remember the shadow on the other person's forehead.However, in terms of mana, it is indeed weak enough to be an ordinary person.

Yuan Shen seemed to have completely handed over the affairs here to them.

The hotel owner, who was not afraid, brought out the hot water pot from the kitchen, and slipped out some dried fruit and fruits, and warmly greeted them to the coffee table.

"There's nothing you can do about it." He said, with an elder-like worry on his simple and honest face, "Everyone, don't move around, just stay here like this."

Both he and Masako looked at the young man standing by the window vaguely.

……oh.Gojo Satoru leaned on the sofa, looked up at the yellowed ceiling, and clearly saw black mist slowly climbing out from the corner, and extending in all directions.

Not a curse spirit.On the contrary, it looks more like a ghost... It really is the scene of a supernatural movie.

The black mist, invisible to ordinary people, gradually spread, bringing with it a gloomy and cold atmosphere.The temperature in the room is getting lower and lower, and the light bulbs in the hall are flickering faster.

Eight people got on and off the tour bus, and now there are only six left.There are now ten people in the hotel lobby.The other four acted calmly, but it made them panicked and timid.

"Knock knock knock."

"Knock knock knock."

There was a strange knocking sound.

From the door, from the window, three consecutive knocks sounded at the same time.

A rustling sound came from under the stairs.

"Did you... hear it?" A person asked hesitantly, looking nervously at the direction of the knock on the door, "Someone is knocking on the door."

Genshen put his hands on the window, the reflection and the night's wind and rain could not stop his sight, and the viscous black liquid spreading outside clearly appeared in front of his eyes.The black liquid that had condensed into a human form held up a small stone and knocked on the door and window slowly.

Then, as if aware of his gaze, he stopped his movements and leaned over suddenly, revealing a pair of scarlet lightbulb eyes.

"..." He lowered the curtains, ignoring them.

The knocking didn't stop.

"...Do you want to see it?" the ordinary person said, looking at the people in the same tour group as if asking.

"It's so late, I don't talk... I don't know what it is." The person who raised the voice first said, "Don't look!"

But the movement below the stairs was too loud to ignore: the dull crashing sound came from there.

"Boss...what's there?" Someone couldn't help asking.

"Maybe it's a mouse that got in by mistake." The boss said.

His lies were so insincere that no one dared to pursue them in such a wrong situation.

"Guest." Masako approached the window, "Where are you, what did you see?"

"There are strange black guys." Yuan Shen replied, "It's better not to go out."

Masako raised her head.She has a pair of vicissitudes of eyes, eyes that have experienced suffering.These eyes looked at the black-haired young man. When she spoke, her voice was very soft, as if she didn't want her hoarseness to disturb others: "But you went out."

"What are you talking about, Ms. Masako." The young man said with a smile, "I've been here all this time, and I haven't left."

"Can you stay, please?" Masako asked.

"No." Yuan Shen said, his smile unchanged, "It's so dangerous here, the haunted hotel and so on, strange monsters and so on, people are so scared that they want to escape."

Unable to see any fear at all, he opened his eyes and talked nonsense, revealing a vague sense of alienation.

So she understood that the other party still wouldn't stay.

In the long past, the other party also rejected her request.

They were talking here, but the light bulbs in the hall flickered more and more fiercely, and finally there was a crisp "crack" when Masako stepped back, the current suddenly cut off, and darkness enveloped the space, swallowing everyone in it.

Quietly, only the sound of breathing and the sound of wind and rain outside could be heard.

There was a loud noise from the direction of the stairs, as if the heavy iron door had been knocked open.Then there was the harsh sound of sharp objects rubbing against the floor tiles, bringing a chill from the soles of the feet to the sky.

Heavy panting rang in everyone's ears.

The boss quietly disappeared into the wall.Masako took one last look at the black-haired youth, her lips moved in the darkness, she still didn't say anything, she just bowed, turned her head and melted into the floor, turning into the night.

Gojo Satoru saw it clearly.He saw this, and also saw Yuanshen's frown when he turned his head to look at the window.

Sure enough, it is the background of "doing nothing".

He retracted his gaze and looked at the curse spirit who climbed out from under the stairs.

"What!" Someone couldn't help but yelled in panic, "What the hell happened! Why is this hotel so strange!"

Xia Youjie's eyes got used to it before he could barely see the shadowy outlines in the darkness. Unlike the "six eyes" with super insight, he looked in the same direction accurately only by relying on his perception of spell power .

It is estimated that it is probably a first-class strength.

The darkness will magnify the fear and malice in people's hearts. With that person's panic as the fuse, the rest of the tour group is in chaos.

So the curse spirit also attacked suddenly.

The person being attacked only had time to let out a short scream, and it became part of the strange swallowing sound, and the tearing of flesh and bones became more and more frightening in the darkness.

The curse master and the conjurer just stood silently, not taking any action.

——At the moment when the lights went dark, there were only four living people left in the room.

All others are dead.It's a ghost.

This ability is too much.Xia Youjie thought with a wry smile, before that, those were indeed human beings.Is this a projection?

The curse spirit didn't devour all of them, and the last remaining person was also the one alive except for the three, the ordinary person in the tour group who suspected that Yuan Shen was the murderer.

Of course, now he is not ordinary.

In the end it was just the four of them.

Yuan sighed deeply, looked up, the knocking sound stopped, and the human figure condensed with black liquid disappeared.In the black sky outside the window, a faint white glowed from the forest gap in the distance.

Back in time.

As if the hand of God outside the sand table dialed the clock, the blackness of the sky gradually dissipated, and the whiteness gradually covered it, so the winter forest with sparse branches and leaves reappeared above the depression, standing there silently, surrounding this place.

The sky completely lit up.

The bus never existed in the first place.Six people suddenly appeared on the open space outside the hotel, walking towards the hotel lively.

Yuan Shen was the only one left in the hall.

The whole hotel returned to its old but clean appearance, and all the corpses and bloodstains disappeared.

The black-haired young man smiled silently, and sat back on the sofa when the door of the hotel was knocked.

"Give me a glass of water, please," he said.

So the maid who came out from behind the wall poured him a glass of water.The boss who appeared behind the front desk glanced at him and put away the registration form with only one name left.

Six people from the tour group came in.

Three minutes later, there was a white-haired young man with bandages on his eyes.

Six minutes later, the rain poured down.

Nine minutes later, the conjurer who opened the door for the knocker saw his best friend who was drenched in a luggage bag.

Yuan Shen sat there, no one saw him.
