This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

Kitagawaji watched Tsukishima Risa and her friends enter the courtyard of the long house.

After they were completely out of sight, he glanced thoughtfully at the empty path around him.

The little girl is completely invisible here.

The wind started to pick up.

The long house, which was already leaking air from all directions, tore at its worn-out throat and let out sharp sobs——

Amidst such rumblings, Beichuan Temple's cell phone rang.

He glanced at the names on the screen and felt a little more energetic.

"Hello? Liangzi? I asked you to do something yesterday..."

...

There are two completely different feelings before entering the longhouse and after entering the longhouse.

A cold feeling gradually enveloped the body unconsciously.

Coupled with the dark environment and the sense of emptiness that instantly fell silent upon reaching the second floor, people's bodies trembled slightly unconsciously.

The bespectacled man A, whose real name is Miguro Yonekura, couldn't help but look around.

He came to the second floor of the long house with his short-haired girlfriend B...a girl named Yuno Hazawa.

The second floor of the longhouse is narrower than the first floor, and there are not many places to explore.

So the two of them were separated by five people to explore the second floor.

Tsukishima Risa and the others explored the first floor, which is more spacious than the second floor.

"Seeing people... I always feel a little uncomfortable here." Ye Zeyouno rubbed his exposed shoulders and looked around.

An unpleasant musty smell came from every corner of the corridor on the second floor. Coupled with the wooden floor that creaked when you stepped on it, it was really unpleasant.

"Be patient for a while, Tomono. After exploring the second floor, we will go to the first floor to meet Shimanaga and the others."

Yonekura comforted him without looking back.

From the corridor, you can see neatly arranged rooms.

It's just that... the rooms should be neatly arranged, but there is an indescribable... perverse feeling that makes people particularly irritated.

Yonekura saw someone walking forward alone with a flashlight.

He walked and explored the room...

But rather than exploring, it was more like standing at the door and scanning it with a flashlight before leaving.

Under such conscientious behavior, Yonekang Jianren will soon reach the end of the corridor.

Nothing happened in the meantime.

It seems that as Beichuan Temple said, there is nothing here.

But humans are easily suspicious creatures.

Especially in such a confined space.

"Haha... there is one last room. Yuno, why don't we stop looking at this room?"

Yonekura saw someone shining a flashlight towards the room located in the corner of the corridor, and he laughed and turned around to say.

quiet...

Except for a section of the corridor illuminated by the flashlight...

Everything was swallowed up by darkness.

Yonekura Mito didn't realize it until now.

It turned out that I didn't know when I had arrived in a very dark place.

There is a dead end ahead, and the way back has been cut off.

Even the voices of those best friends on the first floor have completely disappeared.

Cold sweat fell down in large drops, and Mi Cang saw everyone trembling all over.

He is the kind of person who is relatively timid and particularly likes watching horror movies.

Only then did he truly realize how vulnerable he was.

When Yonekang saw someone being careless, the flashlight in his hand slipped out of his hand.

The flashlight rolled into the darkness behind him under his gaze——

Immediately afterwards, even the vertical light of the flashlight was completely swallowed up by the darkness.

His throat felt like it was stuffed with ice, and while his whole body was chilling, he actually heard someone laughing softly around him.

laugh...

Hee hee hee...

The laughter that was so close to my ears made Yonekang Jianren's whole body sweat!

"Who?! Who is it?!"

He waved his hands wildly, trying to use this primitive defense method to resist the unknown threat in the dark.

He seemed to be frightened by his actions.

The chuckle disappeared in an instant.

call...

Yonekura breathed a sigh of relief when he saw people.

Then--

The chuckles turned into laughter and eventually into guffaws! It exploded in his ears in an instant!

Cluck cluck...

Hahaha! ! ! !

After being so frightened, Yonekang's feet gave way, and he fell heavily with his face tilted!

Bang!

...

On the other side, Tsukishima Risa and the others were also exploring this gloomy longhouse.

Their method is also very simple.

Risa Tsukishima works in a group, and she explores the non-scary places outside.

Two other people went together to explore the interior of the longhouse.

For example, places like the living room and toilet.

"I don't know what their situation is like." Tsukishima Risa muttered and took a cursory look at the kitchen.

The kitchen looked like it hadn't been used for a long time. There were still stubborn stains like rust in the sink, and the spots looked particularly disgusting and terrifying.

"Nothing unusual..."

Tsukishima Risa muttered to herself and walked out of the kitchen.

She had been exploring alone for about five or six minutes, and she had almost finished exploring the surrounding area.

As Beichuan Temple said, there is nothing unusual here.

"I don't know what the situation is like on Shimanaga's side... and there has been no sound from the second floor since just now... which is a bit worrying." Risao Tsukishima touched her chin and planned to go back. Find those classmates.

But soon, she seemed to have thought of something, and her expression changed slightly.

Since just now, there has been no sound from the second floor... This is relatively normal. After all, it is the second floor. It is normal for her to be on the periphery of the first floor and not hear.

but...

"Shimanaga and the others on the first floor... why are there no sounds?"

Risa Tsukishima remembers it clearly.

At first, there was a lot of movement on Shimanaga's side.

The sound of bang bang bang sounded like it was about to tear down the house.

But now everything is quiet.

To be precise...except for the patter of her footsteps, there was no other sound.

Not a shred of noise.

"What happened?"

This unpleasant feeling made Risa Tsukishima's hands and feet feel a little cold.

She swallowed and hurriedly ran back along the circuit.

but--

The moment Tsukishima Risa took steps, there were rapid footsteps coming from behind her!

Risa Tsukishima turned the flashlight with trembling arms.

There was nothing behind it except the corridor where the walls could be seen at a glance.

Yes...empty.

It was as if the footsteps just now were all a lie.

Under this situation, Tsukishima Risa took two steps with numbness.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

There was a voice from behind again!

Risa Tsukishima tensed up and turned the flashlight again.

It was still empty behind me.

The shabby corridor made a sharp and piercing whine as if it was mocking Tsukishima Risa.

But this time, Tsukishima Risa didn't dare to act rashly.

There's something behind you!

There is definitely something behind it!

Her heart was beating rapidly, her face turned pale, and she was shaking.

But there is no way to continue the stalemate like this.

Tsukishima Risa took a deep breath and kept walking backwards, while stepping back and staring closely in front of her.

This time there was no sound of footsteps.

It works...does it work?

Tsukishima Risa felt a little hopeful.

Maintaining this mood, she continued to retreat.

Then--

She hit something behind her.

Tsukishima Risa's body stretched like a long bow.

There is something behind...

It turns out it's not in front of me...but behind me...

When she thought of this, a smile that was even uglier than crying appeared on her face.

Finally turned around slowly——

Under such stiff and slow movements, Tsukishima Risa could only see one face.

A cold and delicate face.

The other person's black eyes were looking at her calmly.

"Kita-Kitagawa-san?!"

Tsukishima Risa first made a sound of overjoyed, then hugged Kitagawaji tightly, her body trembled, and she cried helplessly.

In this desperate time, you can actually meet the strongest helper.

This is really——

Just as Tsukishima Risa was thinking this, a voice suddenly came from behind her.

It's a very familiar voice.

"Did you call me?"

Under Tsukishima Risa's incredible gaze, Kitagawaji, who was filled with a cold and dark aura, walked out of the corridor behind her.

Two, two Beichuan Temples?

Double the joy?

Tsukishima Risa's brain felt a short circuit for a moment.

And at the moment when her brain short-circuited, Beichuan Temple, who was surrounded by a cold and dark aura, had already sprinted to her side, and at the same time reached out to grab Beichuan Temple who she was holding.

Along with the sound of something being thrown down, Tsukishima Risa only felt her hands loosen, and the other Kitagawaji disappeared, leaving only Kitagawaji standing next to her with a black aura lingering on her body.

This sudden change finally allowed Risa Tsukishima's short-circuited brain to sort out the reality.

She opened her mouth and asked uncertainly to the newly-appeared Kitagawa Temple: "Kita-Kitagawa-san?"

"It's me." Kitagawaji quietly stuffed something into his pocket, then looked at Tsukishima Risa and said, "It's almost time to leave, they are still waiting for you."

"Whoa whoa."

Tsukishima Risa nodded vigorously, then adjusted her breathing, and waited until the weakness in her legs subsided before following Kitagawaji's pace.

As she trotted to Kitagawaji, she asked, "Kitagawa-san, Yuno and the others, are they okay?"

Faced with Tsukishima Risa's question, Kitagawaji thought for a moment and then said in a vague and uncertain tone: "It's okay for now."

It had been almost half an hour since Risa Tsukishima and the others entered the longhouse.

During this period, Kitagawa Temple walked around the longhouse again.

After that, he heard the screams of Yonekura and his girlfriend, so he rushed in directly.

"I did not do anything."

Beichuanji made the first announcement.

Then he pointed at the unconscious Yonekura Mitsuru and his girlfriend at the entrance, as well as the other two men and women exploring the first floor. He shook his head and said, "They were already unconscious when I arrived. Yonekura Mitsuru was unconscious at the entrance." In the small room in the corridor on the second floor, his girlfriend fell directly on the corridor. There were no wounds on her body. Judging from their appearance, they must have been stunned."

As for the other two men and women exploring the first floor...

When Beichuan Temple passed by, they were also frightened and fainted, also because they were too frightened.

"Just as I expected."

Looking at the two men and two women who fell to the ground, Beichuanji said firmly: "There are no evil spirits in this longhouse."

"..." Tsukishima Risa couldn't help but twitch her lips after hearing this.

No wraiths...?

Are you still scared like this if there is no resentful spirit?

Tsukishima Risa looked like she wanted to complain, but she didn't know where to start.

And her appearance was keenly noticed by Beichuan Temple.

Kitagawaji asked without thinking: "Senior Tsukishima, besides being frightened, have you suffered any other trauma? Physically?"

"This... doesn't happen."

Tsukishima Risa shook her head.

There's something really strange about this.

She had obviously entered the attack range of the fake Beichuan Temple. Why didn't the other party kill her directly, but just looked at her?

"The same goes for other people. They were also frightened but not harmed."

Kitagawaji frowned and continued: "Rather than wanting to hurt you, the other party is more interested in..."

"More inclined?" Tsukishima Risa couldn't help but answer.

Beichuan Temple's brows softened slightly, and after a while he said: "Don't worry, it might not be what I thought."

"...Um."

Since Kitagawaji didn't want to talk about it, Tsukishima Risa would never go to the bottom of it and ask.

After all, being able to come out safely this time was largely due to Beichuan Temple.

Besides, there were more urgent things to do before her.

Tsukishima Risa couldn't help but rub her temples.

The right way is to wake up all these fainted people and leave this place of right and wrong...

Looking at the distorted faces of her classmates lying on the ground, she couldn't help but sigh.

I have long told you not to come on this kind of 'exciting' adventure.

The results are great now.

You were all scared to death here, and in the end you still asked her to clean up the mess.

Even though Tsukishima Risa has always had a good temper, she was a little bit intolerable.

After all, she had persuaded these classmates again and again.

“The experience will be good for them, too.”

Beichuan Temple suddenly spoke.

He seemed to understand what Tsukishima Risa was thinking: "Compared to committing suicide and meeting a real wraith, this experience is enough to make them dare not continue to challenge exciting things like this in their subsequent lives. "

"...Kitagawa-san is telling the truth." Tsukishima Risa spread her palms helplessly: "Just seeing them reminds me of my former self. So I feel very complicated."

She also took Qianxia Qianxue to the Miki Doll Factory to find the non-existent name wall, which ended up in trouble for a lot of people.

Seeing the miserable condition of these classmates now, she couldn't help but think of her former self.

"The matter is in the past, there is no need to mention it again." Beichuan Temple said simply.

and...

He half-emptied his pockets.

Through the moonlight, he saw it clearly.

It was an ukiyo-e song card titled "One Hundred People One Piece".

A tattered song card with severe wear and tear on the edges.

"Not to kill people...just to drive people away...?"

Kitagawa Temple stared at the song card, thought of Okano Ryoko and what he just said on the phone, and put it back into his pocket.

This whole thing seems to be digging deeper again.

Thank you to the members of Hatsune-sama’s Guardian Knights for the reward! Thank you so much!
