My youth love story is really a fake

"What I said just now, telling ghost stories—is actually true. However, the protagonist of the story is everyone in their team."

"Eh?"

"That is to say, one of them will encounter 'unfortunate'."

"It's really... bad enough."

Yukinoshita shook her head, and she probably understood Chihiro's thoughts a little bit.Although, totally disagree.

"That is to put the matter of choosing the 'sacrifice' in front of their eyes—to realize the things they did before."

However, in this program, all emotions are concentrated enough to stimulate every nerve.

As long as you experience it once, even if you want to ignore it again, strong emotions will involuntarily spread to every corner of your mind.So strong that even a child would realize that this is not right.But even if they knew it was wrong, they would do it.Because that is a choice that as long as you are human, you will make it easily.

"No kid is mature enough to want to figure this out together. Just keeping yourself out of this 'trouble' is going all out."

"Kinoshita-kun...that's wrong. You're just forcing them to make this choice."

Hayama frowned.

"I'm just reenacting what they did, it's up to them how to interpret it."

There was at least one girl who was mature enough to face it frankly.

"...But, they are just children, and they have to bear this kind of psychological pressure..."

"So, Hayama, tell me, isn't Tsurumi a child? Why does she have to bear this kind of pressure?"

A pitch-black feeling climbed up Chihiro's body in an instant, and the straight tone instantly suppressed Hayama's position.

Although it was anger, the feeling was genuine.

It's not at the same level as the usual fake peace, whether it's freshness or purity.

Although the oppressive feeling surpassed Yukinoshita for a moment, the atmosphere in the whole room instantly cooled down.

"I'm going to get ready."

For the rest of the time, Qian Jian stayed at the small shrine deep in the forest...

Chapter 31 Interlocutors with Skeletons

"To be or not to be... This is a question worth considering. It is to be endured in silence—a cruel fate..."

Qian Jian, who was wearing a black mourning dress, was sitting on the offering box, holding a prop skull that she got from somewhere, while singing the classic lines from Shakespeare's classics.

The one who stayed with him was Ji Cai, who was originally arranged to keep the talisman at the finish line and was responsible for receiving the team who came to the finish line.

The red and white witch costume she was wearing was the only bright color in this dark forest.

"Squad leader...Squad leader?"

Although she knew that Qian Jian was using this method to adjust her emotions.However, because Qian Jian's convulsive behavior has been going on for a while, Ji Cai decided to let him stop first.It was really unbearable for her to be like this all the time.The most important thing is that the mobile phone has received the email, and the first team of elementary school students has already started to walk here.

"What's the matter, Ji?"

"When reading this line, there is no skeleton in your hand."

……

Well, that's the crux of the matter.This passage is about questioning action or not, not thinking about the meaning of life.Moreover, the most critical point of the problem is that because it is not a cemetery, there are no skeletons for him to see at all.

"All right……"

After throwing the things aside casually, Qian Jian immediately lay down on the ground.

"You are disrespectful to the gods."

"It doesn't matter... Besides, even if there is, the god probably doesn't deserve people's respect."

Qian Jian's faint voice spread out in an extremely deep way.

"Squad leader..."

"...What's the matter, Ji?"

This kind of question and answer is the most frequent dialogue between two people.However, a lot has changed.

"For that matter...forget it."

"..."

Before Qian Jian could reply, the two of them had already heard the voices of children talking and laughing not far away.

Maybe it really turned into a cosplay show along the way... But from another perspective, just because the children can't be scared, it shows that everyone is actually a good person.

In comparison, Qian Jian, who has decided to at least scare the little girls to tears, is really a scumbag.

"Then, the next thing is up to you."

Chiba would come to the shrine in the deep forest just to "receive" Tsurumi and the group of girls.

As it is now.

"To be...or to be destroyed?"

Qian Jian babbled about his lines in a very low voice, but because the audience became primary six students, the famous lines that were originally highly recognizable became lines with unclear meanings.

"what……"

Because of Qian Jian's extremely dark attire, if you look at it from a distance, you can only see a pitch-black mass.

"Yeah, the last group."

Qian Jian turned around and looked directly at the girls who were huddled together.

"welcome."

There is no flat sound, as if even the temperature is swallowed up.Although Qianjian took a step closer in order to let them see clearly, but in contrast, the girls took several steps back.

As for Tsurumi, she was a little further back, her face was tense, and she looked very bad.

"Let's go quickly..."

"……very scary."

The two little girls urged in a low voice, while leaning closer to the leading girl holding the flashlight.

"That, that...we are here to get the charm."

"Ah... yes, the spell."

Chihiro continued to sigh in a completely emotionless tone, while turning around and walking towards the shrine.However, this calm voice was more impressive than usual.

Probably, it was because it was too pale.

"Come with me."

Although the group that came back before looked very relaxed, the girls were still a little fluffy when faced with Qian Jian's outfit.But because getting the charm is the proof of reaching the end, if you don’t take it back completely, you will definitely be laughed at by other groups——Under the urging of this kind of thinking, several little girls still leaned together to follow Qian Jian walked along the approach to the front of the main hall.

"……How about it?"

"Well, it's not scary..."

The two girls who were leaning against each other whispered, although it sounded a bit more forceful.

After passing through a layer of pre-arranged pillars and ropes, Qian Jian turned her head and stopped the girls talking to each other, which is a way to dispel fear.

"You guys, calm down, lower your head, and look down—"

The emotionless voice brought the girls a second sense of fear—the first time was the fear of the unknown, and this time, it was the fear of being controlled.

"Eh?"

Several people expressed similar doubts at the same time.

"This is already in front of God."

According to Shintoism, if you enter the pillar, you will enter the world of gods.Of course, Qian Jian did not believe these words.The reason for doing this is entirely to exaggerate the atmosphere.

Speaking of which, there are many people who are irreligious nowadays.Especially among children, I'm afraid they can't even tell the difference between Shinto and Buddhism.

However, even so, for this situation, there is still something in my heart that needs to be reacted, something similar to instinct.

"……that,"

"Ah, a spell, isn't it?"

Qian Jian walked to the front of the offering box indifferently, and Qian Jian casually placed the talisman on top of the offering box, and pressed it down with small props.

The pure white color is easy to find in places where there are dark tones everywhere.

Out of curiosity, the little girl in the lead also pointed her flashlight at the offering box.

Not surprisingly, the pale white skull in Qianjian's hand was the first to grab the attention of several people.

"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

The sharp voice pierced through most of the woods, and the test of courage, which had been immersed in a relaxed atmosphere from the beginning to the end, had a terrifying atmosphere for the first time.

So fear doesn't come from showing.Being a monster and then jumping out doesn't have any effect other than being regarded as an idiot-especially if you dress up like that.

The root of fear is concealment.

Because you don't understand, you are afraid.

That is,

Fear of the unknown.

At least for the group of girls who came here with ease, it was terrifying.

Chapter 32 The Absent Shrine

"So, haven't I already told you—no noise is allowed."

However, the girls who were already frightened couldn't listen at all, and made sharper sounds while slapping wildly.

It wasn't until they had vented all the air in their chests that they realized that there was no one who could help them.

Obviously, the straight-line distance from the starting point is not far, not to mention, along the way, I also encountered some high school students dressed as "monsters".However, until now, they still have not received the slightest response.

After yelling, because of the lack of oxygen, people's breathing will become violent and easier to observe.

"Snapped!"

After mastering the breathing rhythm of several people, Qian Jian caught the moment when everyone was exhaling, and slapped lightly.

The crisp voice instantly interrupted the quiet atmosphere that had just settled down, and at the same time—because of this voice, the breath of all the little girls froze in an instant.At the same time, all eyes turned to

"This...isn't very good."

Qian Jian expressed her meaning dryly, "It will anger the gods."

In the quiet forest came the faint sound of an owl.To be honest, the environment would be so cooperative, even Qianjian himself did not expect it.

In short, the gloomy atmosphere reached its peak in an instant.

"Yee-uh-"

The next wave of screaming that was still brewing was suppressed by the girls by covering their mouths forcibly.

"That's right—that's right..."

Qian Jian walked slowly in front of the little girls.This time, they even lost the courage to retreat.The strong sense of fear that had been implanted three times fermented in the hearts of the girls and became an inescapable shackle.

I'm trembling.

But there is nothing wrong with that.Because they can have a premonition with their excellent perception that Qianjian will bring them a very bad experience.

Of course, in fact, Qian Jian did the same.

Although it's somewhat unreasonable to attack children, especially little girls...it's nothing, just treat it as an extracurricular practice, and while punishing them, properly teaching them some awareness of avoiding disasters can be regarded as a kind of compensation.

"But God-sama is already angry—"

He stretched out his finger, and lightly touched the forehead of the little girl who was leading the charge.No, it would be more appropriate to say "thorn".

Gently prick.
