The car body continued to shake, and the windows that Lin Huai had wiped clean with his fingers were fogged up again.
Everything outside was once again reduced to thick fog.
The van was still moving forward in the dense fog. For a while, Lin Huai had the illusion that he was surrounded by strange tunnels. He hastily said to the girl in the white skirt, "It's okay, but Xuejiang cares about me so much, I'm really touched, and I feel that life has become happy", and when the girl in the white skirt can make more voices, he added, " But now I am depressed because of motion sickness, if I keep chatting with Yuki-chan in this state, it will make Yuki-chan feel uneasy? Yuki-chan is a very gentle child, and I also want to be quiet—”
"Wouldn't it be lonely to be so considerate?" the girl in the white dress said.
"No." Lin Huai said indifferently.
When he said the phrase "no", the voice of "personal setting value -1" came from his ear again.
Lin Huai: ...
He worked hard all the way, but all his previous efforts came to naught here.
But the people in the car finally stopped talking to him, and continued chatting excitedly about the trip. And Lin Huai finally had time to observe the girl in the blue skirt sitting opposite him.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
If he remembers correctly... This girl who didn't say a word in the discussion just now, like the girl in the white dress, and the nice guy driving the car, were once residents of Kisaragi Town.
The good old man and the girl in the white skirt were frank and frank about the fact that everyone was about to go to Kisaragi Town, and would answer any questions with their hearts, so the girl in the blue skirt's reaction seemed extremely weird.
Moreover, there is just now...
The van that was coming in the opposite direction to him was exactly the same as the one he was sitting in! Even, in that van, there are people who are exactly the same as those in his current car!
What the hell is that
The same car, the same person, even a "Lin Huai" was sitting in that car. Two cars passed each other, and the only difference between them was the direction of travel. The van that Lin Huai was riding in was heading towards Ruyue Town, while the van that "Lin Huai" was riding in was leaving Ruyue Town. It's like a different direction between them, copying and playing backwards.
For the time being, Lin Huai kept the problem of the car in his heart. He paused and picked up the DV player—the red dot on the DV player was still blinking, and it was still recording.
He took the DV player and sat next to the girl in the blue skirt. Everyone else was sitting next to each other and chatting, only the girl in the blue skirt had an empty seat.
Looking at the girl in the blue skirt, Lin Huai suddenly had a strange idea.
"Old Chu?" He said softly.
The girl in the blue skirt stopped trembling, she heard Lin Huai talking to her, so she turned to look at him blankly: "What?"
Lin Huai: ...
It seems not. Lin Huai secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Obviously, this game does not have such bold ideas as his.
His personality value of 4 points is already in jeopardy. In order to maintain his playboy personality, Lin Huai thought for a while, and said to the girl in the blue skirt: "Hey..."
Girl in blue skirt:
"Actually, I noticed you as soon as I got in the car." Lin Huai said, "Why are you sitting by the window alone? Why, aren't you happy?"
The girl in the blue skirt was startled, shook her head and said, "No..."
"Then it's either unhappy, or... scared."
Lin Huai's voice suddenly became cold. He looked at the people nearby, and whispered: "What are you afraid of? Afraid of where you are going, afraid of someone here, or—"
[Personal setting value minus... ]
"I'm afraid of being lonely, Qing Zijiang will smile happily with my company." Lin Huai quickly finished the following words with extremely fast speech.
Voiceover: …
Lin Huai won the race against the voice-over. Before he had time to show a comfortable smile, he heard the voice of the girl in the blue skirt: "Actually, I..."
She trembled even more, her eyes trembled, as if she saw something extremely terrifying: "There are terrible things in Ruyue Town... I don't want to go, but they all want to..."
"Scary thing?"
Lin Huai lowered his eyes to look at her. His eyelashes were very long. When he was staring intently, the crow-like eyelashes covered his dark pupils, and there was an indescribable taste in his concentration.
"Yes..." The girl in the blue skirt grasped the skirt on her knees tightly. She exerted so much force that she seemed to want to crush her skirt, "In Kisaragi Town... there is..."
"have what?"
Lin Huai moved a little closer, and then he heard the girl's voice that seemed to come from the chest: "There is... a ghost!"
"Unfortunate things will happen..." she murmured, her eyes blank, "As long as you enter Kisaragi Town and don't follow its customs, unfortunate things will happen..."
Lin Huai frowned, and before he had time to ask, he heard cheers from the old man in front of him: "I saw the road sign! Ruyue Town is coming!"
"Oh! Finally!"
"About to arrive!"
The boys and girls who were playing poker in the back row suddenly became excited and chattered. And Lin Huai was also looking at the front window at this time. In the fog in the distance, there was indeed a street sign of "Ruyue Town".
The car drove past the road sign, and after bumping for a long time, the road gradually became smoother.
"It's the city wall!"
"Wow, to enter here, do you have to pass through this city gate?"
"It is said that many years ago, this was the place where the daimyos fought in the Warring States Period. Kisaragi Town was an important place for defense. It is said that this town was guarded for six months at that time." The girl in the red dress smiled and said, "All these I found it on the Internet!"
"Six months!" Everyone exclaimed.
"Six months... What a long time!" The 300-jin fat man was still eating potato chips, and said vaguely, "But if you give me enough food, I can stay in the room for six months without going out."
"Fat House, do you think you can still eat after six months of defending the city?" The fitness man sneered, "This kind of defending the city will eat everything in the later stage, and everything that can be eaten will be eaten up."
"War horses, rats, bark, rats." The girl in the yellow skirt made a cold voice, "When there is nothing to eat, they will start eating people."
There was a sudden silence in the originally joyful carriage. After the voice of the girl in the yellow skirt fell silent, the girl in the white skirt finally said in a calm manner: "Yes, this town did have such a history. All the old people, women, and disabled soldiers have become part of this period. Food for the protracted siege. Human beings are collected like beasts and sold by the catty. They keep guarding the city and keep guarding the city until reinforcements arrive and tell them..."
"Open the door."
"But when they entered the city, what they saw was a scene like hell. A cauldron was burning in the square, and in the cauldron was the last child in the city. Therefore, after that, Ruyue Town became a place of resentment. It is an extremely deep place full of horror legends. Those who have not survived vent their grievances and curse the town. Horror, weird and unexplainable events occur in the town from time to time. Therefore, there is Kisaragi Shrine to suppress Those ghosts who died in the war. Then, there are so many customs in the town, they are all accumulated in daily life, in order to protect the safety of the townspeople."
The road in front of him was still covered with thin fog, and not far away was the ruins of the city gate. Perhaps the carriage was quiet because of the terrifying legend, so the girl in the white skirt smiled and said, "It is also because of the story of 'defending the city' that even though the city gate is broken now, when we pass by here , before entering the town, according to the custom, you have to say a word!"
"What are you talking about?" Everyone became interested again.
The girl in the white skirt put her hands together, closed her eyes, and said softly, "Hey, open the door."
Lin Huai: ...
The good atmosphere was ruined by this "na" again. He squinted and thought.
"Ah, that's right!"
"It feels like lifting some interesting seal."
"So opening the city gate will release the ghost?"
The teenagers and girls in the carriage became excited again, and began to put their hands together to die. Lin Huai, who is very professional, held up a DV camera and filmed the scene of their death. Then, when he pointed the camera at the girl in the blue skirt, he unexpectedly found that the other party also turned pale and closed her eyes. Eyes, clasped hands together, whispered:
"Hey, open the door."
Her eyes were closed, and her fingers trembled, as if it were not a simple custom but some terrible spell.
Lin Huai:? ?
Holding the DV, Lin Huai watched them silently for a while. After a long time, he held the DV in the palms of both hands, and made such a sound sincerely.
"Now, open the door," he said.
But speaking of it, Chu Tianshu said that he had found a way to enter this game, so...
Where is he now? Lin Huai thought.
…
The van drove past the city gate, and after that, the field of vision gradually became wider. Perhaps because their arrival time was at night, the entire Ruyue Town was still covered with a layer of gray fog. The sun had set, and the white moon had risen, like an eye watching them.
Outside the city gate, the entire Kisaragi Town looks standard...
"The urban-rural fringe area." Lin Huai commented.
Even at night, there are baths with red lanterns hanging on the street. While the van was driving, the old man said, "Speaking of which, there are many customs in Ruyue Town, and this lantern is one of them."
"What does this mean?" the girl in the red skirt asked curiously.
"It is said that when you go to the baths at night, you can enter the baths with red lanterns hanging at the door, but you can't enter the baths with white lanterns." The old man said humanely, "Because it is said..."
He lowered his voice: "The bathing place with white lanterns is a bathing place for the dead!"
"Oh my god!" The girl in the red skirt covered her mouth, looking frightened.
"Actually, if there are beautiful female ghosts in the bathing place, it's not impossible for me..." the fitness man said suddenly, and let out a wretched laugh.
"Come on." Someone said, "According to the way of death here, the only ones who will bathe with you are the monsters who have been eaten to the bone. Maybe while soaking, your hot spring will boil and stew you , exactly, the undead are hungry."
Everyone:?
They looked at Lin Huai with terrified eyes. Holding the DV player, Lin Huai felt innocent.
Isn't that a very normal thought - he thought.
