Why are there branches in the pot
Lin Huai was taken aback. Soon, he rushed towards another place in a hurry.
He opened the refrigerator, but to his regret, not only was there no curled up corpse, there was no distorted human head either.
In its place was a pile of canned food, potpourri and snacks. He remembered that they were all brought in the car by this group of teenagers and girls who were "worried about whether there is nothing to eat in the countryside".
Disappointed, Lin Huai had no choice but to turn off the gas stove. Just as he was about to study the range hood and cabinets, there were loud noises and arguing outside the kitchen door.
The instigator of this chaos seems to be the doctor hired by the girl in the red dress and the good man after all the hard work. He was furious, and seemed to be leaving the house, with a lot of words in his mouth.
"Are you kidding? It's a rainy day. I'll follow you here on Saturday and listen to your jokes..."
"Don't touch me! Don't stop me! Crazy, I'm going back, cough, cough, cough..."
"I warn you, you are a group of children, I will give you a chance... Move out of here, this is not where you should live! And that child, I watched her grow up, she is not at all... the people of the shrine They all died in that fire seven years ago!!"
"Cough cough, cough cough..."
The sound of coughing came from the entrance to the yard, and then, the sound of the car starting. The doctor actually left the yard without looking back.
Only the rest of the people stood in the corridor dumbfounded. After a long time, the girl in the yellow skirt made a trembling voice: "What does he mean? He said... This house is not where we should come? Also, he said..."
As the girl in the yellow dress spoke, her teeth began to chatter. She looked tremblingly at the direction of the room: "He said... Xiaoxue is not a child of this family? She is not even... a descendant of the owner of the shrine?"
In the night wind, the night cherry blossoms outside the window swayed, as if silently mocking this group of people.
Everyone sat back in the Japanese room where the girl in the white skirt was. She closed her eyes, her expression was serene, and her cheeks were still flushed. But no one will be happy for her "better".
They have been immersed in extreme loss and fear.
The first to bear the brunt were the good old man who also came from Ruyue Town, and the girl in the blue skirt who was dragged down from the second floor until then. The girl in the blue skirt was trembling, while the good old man turned pale, and hurriedly explained: "Our family moved away when I was ten years old. I only remember that the child of the Shinto family is a daughter, yes, and the surname is indeed Murakami, but the others ... And this house, didn't Xiaoxue say that their family bought it five years ago, I really... "
"And she was the one who first appeared in the club group a month ago, and said in surprise that we are from the same town... Didn't you pull her into the group? President?" The good old man looked at the girl in the red skirt, eagerly Authentic, "You said she was our classmate in the same high school, the same grade as us, and you pulled her into the group. Then, she talked about her hometown and said she was the daughter of the shrine, and Qingzi and I discovered that she was Our fellow countrymen…”
"That's right!!" The girl in the yellow dress also recovered from her nerves and said, "How do you know her? Which class is she in?"
Facing everyone's doubts, the girl in the red skirt stammered and said: "At the beginning, she was the one who added me a month ago, saying that she was a classmate of our grade, interested in supernatural, and heard that we were going to organize a graduation trip... What, Don't you all know her?"
"I don't remember seeing her in grades."
"F class? F class is in another building..."
"I know everyone in Class F, there is no girl named Yuki Murakami!"
"you… "
"us… "
"she… "
"Who the hell is she? Isn't she a classmate in our grade? So it turns out that all of us didn't know her before this summer vacation?"
"If she's not Murakami Yuki, or our classmate, the thing that brought us here... who the hell is it?"
"Don't ask me!! I really don't know anything!!"
The girl in the blue skirt trembled and remained silent. The girl in the red skirt asked hurriedly: "Why is Mr. Takashi Doma so angry? He also said, don't make silly 'pranks' here..."
"I'm afraid this is it."
A young man with chestnut hair appeared in the room.
He seemed to have just come back from the door, and there were still water stains on his trousers from walking in the rain. He held up the sign in his hand and said, "This is it."
A white card with the words "Murakami" written on it, placed in the card slot at the door indicating the owner's identity.
"I just discovered something interesting. Under that white card, there is another card." Chu Tianshu shrugged, "And the surname written on it is—"
"Fujimura."
He spat out these two words. In an instant, the old man's face turned pale.
"Fujimura?"
The rest of the people couldn't understand why he showed such a fearful expression. After a long time, they heard the voice of the girl in the blue skirt: "Fujimura..."
"Fujimura was the first staff member who advised the general to start cannibalism when he was guarding here. He was also the first to push out the elderly, women, and even children in the family as food..."
Everyone looked at the girl in the blue skirt. Lin Huai leaned against the pillar and squinted at her. The fitness man obviously didn't have such a good temper. He rushed to the girl in the blue skirt, grabbed her by the collar and said, "You know something, right? You must know something, right? You've behaved strangely along the way." , What are you hiding, tell me quickly!"
"Fitness man!"
Except for the girl in the yellow skirt who was stopping her, no one else moved, but watched indifferently as the fitness man grabbed the girl in the blue skirt by the neck. The girl in the blue skirt was pinched by him, and she murmured intermittently: "My parents told me that as long as you leave here, you will never come back. But you must come, I can't help it, I... I knew it, I didn't do it at all. There is no way to escape from here... As long as any outsider comes, there is no way to leave this town... "
Her body began to convulse, as if she was having an epilepsy-like attack, and white foam gushed from the corner of her mouth. Seeing this, the good man screamed, and hurried up with the girl in the yellow skirt, trying to save the girl in the blue skirt from him.
"Those ghosts, they are so hungry. That's thousands of years of hunger..." The girl in the blue skirt showed a smile uglier than crying in the hands of the fitness man, "Thousands of years, they haven't eaten enough, we It was the food that was sent back to them…”
Finally, she passed out.
The girl in the yellow skirt hugged the girl in the blue skirt from the grip of the fitness man, and slapped him hard. The fitness man covered his cheeks and fell to the ground dejectedly. The good old man bent down and comforted the two girls.
The scene was extremely chaotic for a while.
Lin Huai silently exited the room and walked to the outer corridor.
"What do you think?" Chu Tianshu asked him.
"If you don't die, you won't die." Lin Huai shrugged.
He looked up, saw something hanging on the eaves, and said, "What is this... Sunshine Doll?"
"Yeah." Sitting beside him, Chu Tianshu said, "Two girls hung it up during the daytime. They said that by hanging this doll, they can pray for a sunny day."
The sunny doll was suspended in the air, turning silently. Lin Huai stared at it for a while, then yawned.
Finally, everyone in the room finally reached a brief consensus.
Now lying here, the girl in the white dress, whose real name no one knows, has changed from a friend they care about to a hot potato that seems to explode at any moment. They didn't know why this girl pretended to be "Yuki Murakami", and they didn't know why she brought them back to Kisaragi Town, but the only thing they knew was...
Now none of them want to be near her.
They fear this girl.
Originally, several people planned to keep vigil for her in turn, but now, no one dared to do so—you must know that there was only one stroke left of the word "正" in her hand. And that sum, it seems, will disappear completely after tonight. They were absolutely sure that a ghost would come when the character "正" disappeared, and kill the girl.
No one wants to stay here to resist the ghosts that may come. After all, ghosts don't have the rationality and emotions that humans have, all they have is the will to kill. Who can guarantee that when ghosts strike, they who are here will not be implicated
No one dared to take that risk.
It was very windy and rainy, it was late at night, and they had nowhere to go but this house for the time being. The girl in the red dress suggested that everyone buy gasoline in the town tomorrow, and then drive the car out of the town—maybe as long as they leave the town, everything will be fine, and those weird red "positive" characters on them will also Disappeared with their departure.
At least for now, they all think so.
One of the most urgent is the fitness man. Among all the people, he has the fewest strokes of the character "正". After two days, there was only one and a half strokes left of the word "正" on his body, and by tomorrow, there would be only one stroke left. If you don't escape this town within tomorrow, you can imagine the ending waiting for him.
If possible, he would like to leave this town tonight. But the girl in the red dress calmed him down.
"There is no gasoline now, do you want to run back?" The girl in the red skirt said, "Besides, it is night, it is too unsafe to go out to find gasoline. If you want to go out to find gasoline now, I will not stop you!"
When she said this, the fitness man was defeated. He sat at the foot of the wall, cursing incessantly.
Several people moved all the sheets and quilts to a room that was away from the girl in the white dress and located diagonally from her room. The good old man moved Lin Huai and Chu Tianshu's beds here as well. In order to liven up the heavy atmosphere, the fat man chuckled and said, "When we drive out tomorrow, we will take a plane to Hokkaido and Shikoku. I don't believe that the female ghost here can travel so far. !"
"Yes, yes." The girl in the red skirt also tried to comfort her, "If I remember correctly, Keiko, your passport hasn't expired yet, right? Then you can buy the fastest ticket and fly there. I I don’t believe it, can those ghosts crawl to the Pacific Ocean to kill you?”
The girl in the yellow skirt didn't listen to their conversation at all, she just looked at the girl in the blue skirt worriedly and talked to her in a low voice.
Everyone was laughing hard. But Lin Huai had already left the room and arrived at the room where the girl in the white skirt was.
He looked at the girl on the bed with a dull expression on his face.
