How to survive in a world full of weird talk [Comprehensive fear]

"呲呲."

This is a shoji made of paper with a wooden frame, and it is also a common sliding door in Japanese homes.The thin pasted paper has turned dull and yellow, and black sticky matter can be vaguely pasted on it, which can be seen from a long time ago.

A burst of acrid dust rose into the air as it was pushed away.

Sidelle still held the lamp in her hand, looked up at the young man in front of her, but did not pursue this man's perfunctory attitude and his perfunctory alias.She just turned the handle of the lamp in her hand and said lightly, "Do you believe in ghosts?"

— This question has to do with how she handles this person.

Sidelle is actually not sure that she can retreat in this environment, but she doesn't like to talk badly, and her attitude towards other people has always been to save if she can.If he could get away from the old house, it shouldn't be difficult to take another person with him.

But the key element for her to help is a very important point: this person must be "obedient" enough.

This "obedient" doesn't just refer to the superficial meaning. Sydel must confirm that the Seventeenth will not cause trouble. In case he looks calm, he is actually just pretending to be coercive. After seeing a ghost, he yells in fright——

This kind of temporary partner, I'm afraid it can't be used.

And this question, besides that, is a kind of temptation.

The young man raised his eyes, his expression did not fluctuate, he looked at Sidelle, silent for a few seconds.

The person's expression didn't change, but Sidelle could see it clearly.

He probably doesn't believe in ghosts.

But it's normal, she didn't believe it before the age of seven.

"It's okay," she smiled, and said indifferently, "You will believe it when you see it later."

Seventeen seemed to frown slightly.

He said, "Yeah."

It seems noncommittal, and it does not seem to be a firm materialism.

The man spoke very little.

"So," Sidelle looked at him and continued, "I just introduced myself, why don't you come for a while?"

She smiled: "We can be regarded as teammates now. If we want to escape together, we must have a little bit of the most basic trust."

This person looked fair and slender, but his psychological quality was not low, and Sidel was going to say something.

The blonde girl has a kind and sincere attitude, which can make people feel her sincerity. In addition, she has an extraordinary appearance, even though she looks a little embarrassed——but the girl is holding a copper lamp, standing in a dim, dusty room, smiling, and still has something to say Unrivaled affinity.

In such a dark and terrifying environment, people want to trust for no reason.

But the young man looked at her, and there was still no wave in his eyes. He glanced at Sidelle, his eyes turned slightly, as if he was organizing his words.

"I parked at the foot of the mountain for a while." He said, "It was still dark at the time, and when I turned around, I saw only a dirt slope beside me."

"After coming up, I met you."

Sidelle was slightly taken aback, did this person come in from the slope instead of the main entrance?

The expression on his face has always been flat, with almost no micro-expressions and body language, and Sidel can't tell if this person is lying.

But he doesn't seem to need to lie either.

Sidelle asked: "Did you see me as soon as you came in?"

Seventeen: "Yes."

After a pause for a few seconds, he added lightly, "It took about a few minutes."

He seemed to be recalling the time in his mind, and added this sentence after he had a rough estimate.

Sidelle: "..."

She couldn't hold back, and asked: "Then you haven't met a ghost or seen anything strange in the past few minutes?"

If you're lucky, you may not run into a ghost for a few minutes.

Seventeen: "Yes."

Sidelle: "...I see."

She thought of something, and asked with little hope: "Can the dirt slope you came in still go out?"

Seventeen: "No."

He said calmly: "After I came in, it disappeared."

That's right, this house will never let anyone who enters leave.

Sidelle sighed in her heart, and after asking some questions, she didn't see any doubts.Especially at Seventeen Feet, there was indeed a speck of sand and sand left on the road.

Now it seems that he is indeed a passerby who strayed into this place, and he probably doesn't know as much information as she does.

She thought for a while, then tentatively smiled and said, "I know a little more than you. The old house is very dangerous. We must leave here as soon as possible. I am familiar with this kind of environment. If you can promise to obey my command, maybe we can ……Together?"

Sidelle is ready to come up with some more materials - such as a map, the patriarch's letter, or let Shi Qi see a ghost with her own eyes before convincing him.After all, it is not realistic for an adult male to suddenly trust and listen to another stranger in an unfamiliar environment.

But what she didn't expect was that Shi Qi only paused for two seconds, then nodded slightly.

Sidelle: "..."

She didn't say anything, but pulled out the map at her waist with her backhand, unfolded it, and while quickly looking at the route, she explained to Seventeen: "This is the map of the ancient house."

She didn't say where to find it.

Shi Qi didn't ask, he just stood quietly at the side a few steps away from Sidelle, and seemed to be looking at the map as well.

But Sidelle knew that in a short period of time, it was impossible for a person to memorize this intricate route.What's more, when she actually walks, she still has to choose the path with the least resentment.

She just took a brief look first, and divided the route from where she is now to the stairs on the second floor into four sections, and planned to find a safe place to hide and write down the route after each section.

A few minutes later, Sidel put away the map, turned to Shiqi and said, "Follow me later, don't run around."

In case this person gets lost, he may not be a person but a ghost if he finds it again.This is why Sidel subconsciously stopped him the first time she saw him wanting to leave.The ancient house is full of ghosts and ghosts, who may die at any time.

Even if you just leave for a moment, you won't necessarily be a human or a ghost when you meet again.

What's more, Sidelle actually didn't want to simply leave the old house.

Sidel has always been very concerned about the "it" and "that matter" recorded in the Patriarch's Handbook.If conditions permit, she actually wants to explore the old house and collect useful information.

After all, even if you leave the old house, the villages behind the old house are still a problem. You don't know what's inside. Sidel knows that she needs to know what the "thing" that must be avoided is what it is.

Leaving this room, Sidel also explained to Seventeen what she had in hand: "This copper lamp can drive away ghosts, but there is a time limit, for example——"

just now.

"Swish..." A subtle voice came from the top of the head, as if something was rubbing against each other.

Sydel flicked the brass light switch.

"Look." She calmly pointed to the young man beside her, then turned to look at him and continued to explain: "There are such ghosts everywhere in the ancient house, and humans will die if they encounter them."

A female ghost with eight arms and a shape like a humanoid spider hangs from the ceiling with disheveled hair. Its pale face is less than one meter away from the two of Sidelle.

Sydel watched Seventeen.

It must not be a good feeling for a materialist to have his three views broken. She was a little afraid that this person would suddenly act out of line, but he seemed to be slightly taken aback when he looked at the ghost who was close at hand.

A cold breath came over his face.

Shi Qi took a few glances, and since the temporary teammate had seen the ghost, Sidel said directly: "Run!"

As she said, she walked around the female ghost and turned off the copper lamp by the way——

No way, when the ghost continued to be immobilized, the blood beads burned too fast.

She rushed into a corner according to her memory, and didn't forget to look back to see if her teammates had followed.

Actually kept up.

At this time, most of the blood beads have been consumed.

Lu also ran to a place she didn't know, and Sidelle was a little upset. She found a safe room and slipped in. Shi Qi followed her in.

After entering the room, Sidel saw two futons placed in the middle of the room. There was a low table in front of the futons. On the table were four fat girls in red maple leaf kimonos with dark eyes, black hair piled high, and strange smiles. baby.

It seems to be Japanese dolls placed in the room.

The dolls were covered with a layer of dust, and the bright red outer clothes were much duller. Sidel didn't bother to inquire about Shi Qi's situation, and stared closely at the four dolls. It took a few minutes to notice from them. Weak resentment.

After watching for a while, she suddenly realized something. She leaned over to check the stone wall under the low table, and saw that on the cold black stone, there seemed to be a series of records written with black charcoal.

The handwriting is not simply black charcoal, otherwise it would have weathered with the passage of time.There is a faint layer of resentment attached to it, which seems to be exactly the same as the puppet's resentment on the table.

The font of the record is crooked, it looks like it was written by a child, and the dolls also look like dolls of little girls.

【126:

Today, I made a promise with Haruko, Qingmei, Huili, and Xilai that the five of us will be together forever and be best friends forever. 】

【312:

Haruko disappeared. 】

【314:

The adults did not find her, saying that she was captured and eaten by a monster in the mountain. I was very sad.The five of us made an appointment never to be apart, but now we have separated.

I found the other three and we swore to be together forever. 】

【428:

Kiyomi and Eri suddenly ignored me.

I see them less and less.

really weird. 】

[5:12:

Xi Lai also disappeared.

That's what the adults say. 】

[5:13:

But I know grown-ups are lying to me.

I clearly saw Xi Lai.

Xi Lai...it's inside the wall. She still smiled at me when I woke up last night. 】

【517:

My friends have all disappeared.

I am very lonely.

Are they trying to abandon me?

No, I will never allow...]

【518:

I suddenly understood one thing.

It turns out that it wasn't Haruko and the others who disappeared,

The missing one turned out to be myself——]

The record ends here.

Like a child's doodle, but on the last line of all records, there is a crudely distorted smiley face. :).

Beside the smiling face, there is a sentence attached.

[Come and find me. 】

... Tsk.

After reading the records under the low table, Sidelle got up and looked at the four dolls on the table again.At this moment, Shi Qi also came to the low table. Sidel looked at the dolls for a while, and suddenly heard him say: "These dolls are not right."

Sidelle: "What do you see?" She could only feel the slight resentment attached to it. If she guessed correctly, these four dolls are probably the four girls mentioned in the record that kept disappearing: Haruko, Kiyomi, Eri, Yurai.

Seventeenth said: "Living sacrifices."

Sidelle was startled.

She turned her head to look at Seventeen—this person had fair skin and a beautiful face, but she was only amazed when she first saw him, and now Sidel was not in the mood to appreciate beauty, and she didn't know much about it, so she simply asked The young man asked, "What do you mean?"

The young man stretched out his hand, and gently wiped a doll in red kimono, a layer of dust floated on his fingertips. Sidel stared at his movements, and suddenly noticed that the shape of this human hand was also very beautiful, but the fingertips were covered with dust. There is a touch of thin cocoon.

Seventeen lowered his eyes and looked at his hands. He seemed to think for a moment, then turned to Sidelle and said, "Have you ever heard of a Thai kid? Make a baby's corpse into a mummy, wrap it in gold leaf, and enshrine it at home."

He said coldly: "These dolls are the same, they are made of corpses, looking at the structure, the skeleton inside should be under ten years old..."

Sidelle understood.

Looking at those gorgeous dolls now, she didn't feel terrified, but the more she looked at them, the weirder they became, and she felt a little nauseous.

But... this person is easy to understand, what is he doing?

But Sytel didn't have time to think about it.

The protagonist recorded in this room thought that her friends kept disappearing, but the one who was really missing was herself——

Sydel's intuition told her that the story of this little girl might hide the secret of the whole ancient house, but she looked at the blood in her hand again, and knew that she couldn't hold on to find out the secret now. .

Only one third of the blood beads remained.

Sidel looked down, then turned to Shi Qi and said, "The copper lamp in my hand can suppress ghosts, but its fuel is the blood beads that can only be found in the Red Gate."

It doesn't matter whether she says it or not, after all, Shi Qi has seen it just now.

Seventeen: "..." The young man was silent for a while, realizing something.

Sidelle continued: "Now the blood bead is almost burnt out. I want to enter the second red door and find another blood bead—"

She shook the copper lamp in her hand and asked him, "Now, do you want to follow me into the red door, or stay here?"

"By the way." Just in case of accidents, Sidel specially reminded: "The red door is also very dangerous, no less than the outside."

Although she wanted to treat this person as a reserve teammate, Sidelle was still ready to explain some things clearly.In this way, no matter if after a while, Shi Qi had an accident in the old house or in the red door, it cannot be regarded as her resignation.

But she still kept some information, such as——

The number of times a person can enter the red door is limited.

Seventeen: "I'm with you."

He didn't hesitate.

Sidelle: "Okay."

She also responded very readily, and reminded by the way: "After entering the red door, it may not be your current body."

Sydel showed Seventeen the blood beads inlaid on the copper lamp, and the color of the blood beads was less than one third.

The girl turned on the copper lamp and walked out of the room with resentment.

Shi Qi followed behind her, quietly raised his eyes to look at the copper lamp in her hand, his eyes moved slightly, and the eyelashes immediately covered them, covering the expression in the bottom of the eyes.

In fact, when Sidelle explained the blood beads to him just now, he didn't see what this person said... Only one-third of the color remained.

If the copper lamp wasn't on, he wouldn't be able to see ghosts either...

But he didn't say either.

"Crench."

Sydel pushed open the second red door.

A white light flashed, and she still woke up on a bed. Opening her eyes, cheerful birdsong came from the window. This body seemed to have just woken up, and she was still a little dazed.

"Hey, Xiuya!" A girl called her softly: "I have an exam today, don't be late!"

This person speaks neither Japanese nor English.

Sidelle raised her arms to cover the glare of the sun.

...This is South Korea.
