Chapter 1628 Hakone Ghost Story (Tired and sleepy cat basking in the sun)

“No matter how many times I watch it, I still find it incredible.”

Soaking in the hot spring, looking at Duanmu Huai in front of her, Sakurajima Mai was filled with disbelief.

"I can't imagine that such a small body can contain such great power. How did it become like this?"

"yes………"

Kurokawa Akane also nodded, with a complicated expression. Duanmu Huai's current body could even be said to have not developed at all, and looked no different from an ordinary child. Strictly speaking, some elementary school students who grew and developed faster were better than this.

Slender and thin, this is everyone's first reaction when seeing Duanmu Huai's body. Coupled with the distinctive white hair and red eyes, she looks like a sickly beautiful girl no matter how you look at her.

“This is called concentration is the essence.”

Noticing the two people's gazes, Duanmu Huai proudly raised his arms and struck a bodybuilding pose—well, nothing was bulging.

"Xiao Ai is also very light, I still can't understand where you get so much strength."

Just now in the locker room, the three of them weighed themselves. Duanmu Huai's weight was only two-thirds of Kurokawa Akane and Sakurajima Mai, which really surprised them.

"It's just that you have grown more flesh."

Duanmu Huai curled his lips and looked at the two men's chests.

"Over there, it's at least five kilograms."

“It’s not that heavy!”

"But Xiao Ai's skin is really smooth..."

As Sakurajima Mai spoke, she grabbed Duanmu Huai's arm and stared at him carefully.

"I haven't used any maintenance, how come it's so good?"

Because that was how it was originally set up... Of course I can't say that.

"Speaking of which, do you know the legend of Ayu Lake?"

At this time, Kurokawa Akane suddenly started a new topic.

"Is this the background story of the movie we are going to shoot this time? I have seen it."

Mai Sakurajima thought for a moment and spoke.

"It is said that a long time ago, a pair of sisters dressed up as street performers to escape from their persecution by their family. They tried to pass through the checkpoint of Hakone, but were discovered by their family. While being chased by their family and the police, the two sisters jumped into the lake and died..."

"How can this be considered a weird story?"

Duanmu Huai yawned and couldn't help but complain.

"This kind of thing was very common in the past. If this kind of thing can be called a ghost story, then this country must be full of haunted places."

"Yes, I think this is strange too."

Kurokawa Akane suddenly became excited.

"There are many people who committed suicide by jumping into the lake, both in modern times and in ancient times, but why was the lake named after this pair of sisters? I heard that Ayu Lake was named Ayu Lake because the stage name of this pair of sisters was the Ayu Sisters. But this doesn't make sense at all. Does it mean that before them, no one had committed suicide by jumping into the lake? Then if a man committed suicide by jumping into the lake, would Ayu Lake be called Sanlang Lake? So I did some research on this..."

"You really like doing this."

Looking at Kurokawa Akane, Duanmu Huai was quite speechless. Kurokawa Akane was a good girl with a good figure and a good personality, and her reaction in bed was also very cute. But one thing that Duanmu Huai felt was dangerous was Kurokawa Akane's acting skills - she liked to study the role thoroughly and then completely transform herself into that role.

Duanmu Huai had commented before that this was almost like being possessed by a ghost.

This time, the protagonist played by Akane Kurokawa is actually the reincarnation of one of the sisters who committed suicide by jumping into the lake. Sakurajima Mai is naturally another person.

So in order to play this role perfectly, Kurokawa Akane went to investigate the information of the pair of sisters who jumped into the lake and died... I mean, don't really get possessed by a ghost.

Previously, Kurokawa Akane was inadvertently pulled into the realm of the Old Ones because she wanted to imitate Duanmu Huai, but now it seems that she can't change this habit for a while.

Although if there are no side effects, it’s okay.

…………assuming there are no side effects.

Strictly speaking, it is okay not to research it, because the actors are supposed to play the characters in the script, and the sister is just a background borrowed from local legends. For example, Mai Sakurajima would not care about such useless background, but Akane Kurokawa is obviously more serious about this aspect.

"I went to the library to check the records here and found some interesting rumors."

"Oh?"

"The sisters did come to the village of Hakone as entertainers. After that, a series of strange events occurred in the village. Some people disappeared inexplicably, and some died inexplicably. No one knew what happened. Just when everyone was unable to understand, the sisters' family appeared in the village and said that all this was done by the sisters. They are actually cursed children, and they will bring disaster wherever they go..."

"Then the villagers, along with the police, followed the sisters' family members to hunt them down, and the two eventually committed suicide by jumping into the lake?"

Hearing this, Sakurajima Mai also spoke curiously, and Kurokawa Akane nodded.

"Yes, and in order to seal their souls, a Buddha statue was built by the lake. After that, the village returned to its former tranquility..."

“But this is also quite strange.”

Mai Sakurajima frowned in confusion.

"After all, these words were said by the sisters' family. Maybe they said these words in order to make up a lie and bring the sisters back."

"So Mai, you mean that the strange things that happened in that village were also caused by the sisters' family?" "That's not surprising, isn't it? After all, isn't that how everyone viewed those unknown phenomena in the past? For example, disappearances, to put it bluntly, are just missing persons cases."

Having said this, Sakurajima Mai paused.

"Ah, by the way, when I was the director of the Ichiran Police Station, I learned that tens of thousands of people disappeared every year. If I hadn't heard it from the police, I wouldn't have been able to imagine how tens of thousands of people could disappear in a city. But in ancient times, this is called a disappearance."

"This is indeed a bit scary. Do you know why they disappeared?"

"According to the police, some people intended to sever ties with the past and left without saying goodbye. Some disappeared for no apparent reason. Some got drunk and fell into the river and drowned. Their families couldn't get in touch with them, so they reported them missing. If they're lucky, they can identify them if they find their bodies. If they can't find their bodies, then they're gone. Isn't this a modern form of disappearance?"

"What you said makes sense, but I still don't understand why everyone likes to drink so much..."

"Yeah, at the celebration party after the last shoot, the director and crew actually went for a third drink. It really made me worry whether they could handle drinking so much."

"We are not yet adults, but it will be troublesome to attend such a banquet after we become adults."

"That's right... Speaking of which... "

The two of them chatted back and forth, and the conversation deviated directly from the original strange incident to criticizing social drinking parties, and then talked about other people's gossip at the banquet... Well, conversation is so imaginative.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

The three of them chatted for a while in the hot spring, then put on their yukatas and left.

"Shall we sleep together tonight?"

Kurokawa Akane suggested.

"It feels like a school trip. It seems quite interesting."

"This seems like a good idea. Tomorrow is the first scene? It should be okay if we don't stay up too late."

"At noon, the first thing we're going to shoot is... huh?"

While chatting, the three of them walked out of the locker room, looked around, and were stunned.

"what happened?"

Kurokawa Akane looked around the corridor in surprise. This place should have been illuminated by lights, but now the entire corridor was pitch black.

"It doesn't seem like there's a power outage, does it?"

Mai Sakurajima turned her head and looked at the locker room behind her. The light inside was still very bright, shining through the crack in the door and illuminating the floor in front of her.

"Is it time to turn off lights?"

"Most hotels will turn on small lights in the corridors even at night."

Mai Sakurajima took out her cell phone and checked the time.

"And it's not even twelve o'clock yet."

"………………………"

Duanmu Huai stared silently at the dark corridor without saying a word.

"Anyway, shall we go back to the room?"

"It seems that this is the only way... What's wrong, Xiao Ai?"

Noticing Duanmu Huai's reaction, Heichuan Akane asked curiously.

"You're not afraid of the dark, are you?"

"Do I look like someone who is afraid of the dark?"

Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.

"Okay, let's go back and rest. I'm a little tired after taking a hot spring bath."

"But it's dark here and very dangerous."

"Most likely the line contact is bad."

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai clenched his fists.

"At this time, just do this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Duanmu Huai clenched his fist and slammed it against the wall!
“Boom———————!”

With a dull thumping sound, the entire corridor suddenly shook, as if there was an earthquake, startling the two of them. However, the next moment, with flickering lights, the originally dark corridor returned to its original bright state.

"Woooaaa, ​​what are you doing, Ai-chan? You didn't make a hole in the wall, did you?"

"Can it really be fixed like this? This is incredible......"

Sakurajima Mai looked at the wall that was smashed by Duanmu Huai in surprise, while Kurokawa Akane looked at the corridor that had become bright again with a confused look on his face.

"Okay, it's fixed now, let's go back to our room and go to bed."

As Duanmu Huai spoke, he glanced thoughtfully at the end of the corridor.

It seems that the legend...seems to be more than just a legend.
