I'm a ghost story witch in Tokyo

Chapter 44. Chapter 44.
As soon as the time came to 10 o'clock, it became very lively outside the door.It sounded like dozens of people were pacing outside, their footsteps were noisy and chaotic, and they were stomping on the wooden floor.

A hunched figure leaning on crutches swayed to the door, and the sound of the crutches being tapped was extremely clear and rhythmic in the dark night.Shadow raised his hand and knocked on the door, asking, "Is anyone there?" Seeing no response, he knocked again a few times.

The old voice has an indescribable gloomy atmosphere, cold and viscous, like a wraith crawling out of the crypt where the dead are buried. When facing the living people, they are so excited that they cannot contain themselves, and they can't wait to talk to them.

The smell of corruption and death seeped from under the crack of the door, not only the smell of blood, but also the smell of mud and sea water, which was mixed with many disgusting ingredients.

Candles affixed to the bed frame strive to diffuse light fragrances and fight against disturbing smells and sounds.

There was no wind in the house, but the candles kept flickering.Cover the candle with something, and the aroma produced by burning cannot be dispersed. The candle is useless and can only be extinguished and then lit.

"Is anyone in there?"

The "person" who knocked on the door paced at the door, knocked on the door again and again, and asked in a pleasant voice.

Rui Ji and Yue were indifferent, pretending not to hear.After repeated attempts to no avail, the voice of the "person" became a little impatient, from knocking to knocking on the door.

"Are you really not going to open the door? I'm angry."

The door of the bedroom was slapped with unprecedented force by something outside. Those who didn't know it thought that the two of them owed 1 million yen to Jidao, and they were being violently collected and coerced by force.

But in fact, it's not.

"Don't hide in there and make no noise, I know you're home—"

The continuous knocking on the door was annoying, and the voice became more and more shrill.Rui Ji was overwhelmed by the disturbance, temporarily unable to read the contents of the magazine, so he had to take out another distracting item.

"Would you like some music?"

Before walking in the barren fields, I relied on the music in the player.Music can have a emboldening effect, especially to dispel the negative effects of nearby noises.

Yue acquiesced to her proposal and accepted the other half of the earphones she shared with her.

"I hope your taste in listening to music is not too bad. I actually prefer music with a bright style and a sense of rhythm. Showa-style old songs are also fine. American rock is a bit noisy for me."

"Then play it randomly, depending on your luck, whichever song you can shake. There are 514 songs in my playlist, and there is always a suitable one."

Rui Ji was about to press the play button, but found garbled characters appearing on the phone screen again, unable to swipe the interface.

Theoretically, regional ghost stories can affect the operation of the mobile phone. There are some problems with the function of the mobile phone from time to time. For example, now, they are not lucky enough to display "outside the circle" on the upper left of the screen, but the two of them put on the earphones at the same time. There was a pleasant cell phone ringtone.

The music chosen for the ringtone and the alarm clock is different, and it is absolutely impossible for Rui Ji to remember it wrong.

The iconic "Lover~" scares her so much that she almost loses her grip on the phone, and an incoming call alert pops up on the phone screen, and the caller turns out to be my sister Jingliu!

"What's going on? Why can my sister call in."

With a nervous mood, Rui Ji slid to the answer button.It was not supposed to answer the call, but my hands didn't work, or it was a habit.There was a piercing electric sound from the other end of the receiver, and after a few "sizzling" sounds, the person on the other side spoke.

It was not the sound that a normal person should have. It was like the "person" knocking on the door. There was a biting chill in the receiver, and the ears hurt from the cold.

"Such a useless sister... don't come back, why don't you just stay in Asahina... haha... hahahaha..."

The sound in the earpiece is very similar to static flow, but not quite like it.Jingliu would not talk to herself in such a tone of yin and yang. At most, she complained about the small mistakes in life in the tone of the elders admonishing and educating the younger ones, urging her to cheer up and become a qualified god master.

"What a malicious prank."

Rui Ji tried to hang up the phone, but the phone turned on the speakerphone automatically and played the sound to the outside.

"Static Flow" is still trying to attack her verbally.

"A good-for-nothing older sister who refuses to inherit the shrine and puts all the heavy burdens on me alone... Such an older sister is really inferior... She doesn't do housework, she is always late for class, and she cuts classes..."

"Hey, don't you need to expose my shortcomings?"

The "person" who made the call seemed to have never heard of it, and continued to talk endlessly about the "crimes" that Ruiji had committed, trying to make Ruiji's shame peak, and his disgust was fully revealed in his words.

"The shrine...as long as I'm alone...I don't need my sister anymore, I don't want to see my sister again in this life..."

"Stay here and don't go back to Tokyo... why don't you become a ghost story with them in Asahina... you won't be alone... there are many people with you..."

"Zizi-"

The weird call ended here, and the phone was still full of garbled characters.Perhaps it was because the strange talk was too close to them, and the electronic equipment was affected, and even the most basic functions could not be used.

The chaotic footsteps outside the door became orderly, and a sound of drum beating accompanied the footsteps and came to the door together.The carnival feast tonight seems to be held in this narrow bedroom. Someone took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, and the keys collided and jingled.

The door of the room was not protected by Shimenawa, which could not block the strange talk outside, and the door lock was turned from the outside, making a "click".A group of witches dressed in kimonos, with red, black and blue ghost faces with sharp fangs and horns, circling around the bed placed in the center of the room.

The sound of beating the taiko drum came from some of the witches, who carried the taiko drum on their backs and waved the drumsticks as they walked.Upon closer inspection, the drumsticks were not made of wood, but two human leg bones.

The taiko team was followed by the festival dance team. The witch with a ghost face was dressed in costumes—blood-stained festival costumes, yelling some strange words, moving neatly, and walking and dancing on the wooden floor.

The size of the bedroom suddenly expanded, and the room of 20 square meters became a huge space of 200 square meters. The only thing that remained unchanged was the iron frame bed surrounded by Shimenawa rope, and the things on the bed.

The narrow safe zone is surrounded by hundreds of witches wearing ghost masks.

Surrounded by a group of priests and witches, one of the most gorgeously dressed priests in pure black priestly clothing, holding a string of blood-red royal coins hung on metal sticks, led the others to dance around the bed, muttering words.

The content of the congratulatory speech was indistinct, like a buzzer, which went straight into the ear, causing a strong sting to the eardrum.

Rui Ji could barely tell that this was a curse ritual.
