Chapter 157 Group (Day3-Qingye-0013 AM)

Yoshiko Sato still has her ID card with her.

So Hui Yuanchu didn't spend much time thinking before he stepped forward and opened the door.

Then, the thick door that had been covered with dust for a long time made a heavy friction sound on the ground, and was forcefully pushed open by Hui Yuanchu.

The moonlight poured into the hall, spreading forward from the door, and finally cast a two-meter-long square light spot on the carpet at the door.

On the three boundary lines of the moonlight, what is reflected are pairs of pairs of various shoe tips that are densely arranged and neatly arranged ten centimeters apart.

Hui Yuanchu walked into the door, stood in the center of the moonlight projection on the ground, and looked around.

Pairs of shoes were worn on the feet, and upwards were the calves, thighs, and torsos of different heights... Three rows of dolls were arranged in a mouth shape, standing on the three boundaries of the moonlight.

Hui Yuanchu's gaze crossed them and looked into the darkness behind.

He saw the second row, the third row, the fourth row... all the way to the deepest part of the darkness, the wall of the hall.

For a moment, Hui Yuanchu suspected that he had come to the wrong place.

Dozens of hours ago, what Huiyuan saw here was a "scene" reproduced by five dolls in the empty and deserted hall.

But just one day later, this scene disappeared.

——In its place, there was a huge group of dolls that almost filled the entire hall.

They were arranged neatly, forming a queue one by one, heavily surrounding the small patch of moonlight at the door.

All the dolls had expressionless faces, hundreds of glass eyes reflecting the glimmer of light in the darkness, and they all stared at Hui Yuanchu, who was standing in the center of the moonlight.

Hui Yuanchu stood there in silence for a moment, then walked towards the puppet in front of him.

The puppet has no movement.

The doll just remained silent and allowed him to approach. .

In the silent hall, there was only the slight sound of Hui Yuanyuan's shoes stepping on the carpet.

He approached step by step, and finally came to the puppet, stopped, and stared at the puppet in front of him.

The puppet hasn't changed much.

The puppet was just watched by him.

Although, the sight of the glass eyes seemed to have turned around.

Huiyuan exhaled, crossed it, and passed between the two dolls.

He left the moonlight and stepped into the darkness.

The huge group of puppets said nothing.

Like they're really just puppets.

Hui Yuanchu continued to walk forward, leaving the carpet, stepping on the wooden floor with the soles of his shoes, making the sound of "tap-tap" footsteps in the silent hall.

Soon, he came to the center of the hall, where the sofa was originally placed, showing the location of the "scene".

The sofa has disappeared, and there are only puppets neatly arranged at intervals like the dots of a checkerboard.

Hui Yuanchu stopped and looked around - he was now in the deepest part of the doll group.

The gate is in the distance, and is blocked by five or six layers of dolls from its current location. You can't even see the moonlight shining on the ground.

There is no change in the doll group.

The group of dolls continued to stare at the moonlight at the door.

Hui Yuanchu finally breathed a sigh of relief.At least, they didn't look like they would suddenly come alive and attack him.

But—what are these dolls doing here?Why did the doll owner add so many new dolls here in just one day?

And why did the daughter of the evil spirit lead him here?

...Perhaps all these changes are due to their exploration here in the morning being discovered by the owner?

Huiyuan thought endlessly, randomly selected a doll, stopped in front of it, and looked at it carefully.Just like in the morning, its appearance was different from any other doll in this hall.

Hui Yuanchu quickly remembered that he had also seen the "prototype" of this doll - it was a strange green leaf that he had only seen from a distance but had never actually interacted with.

He reached out and touched the face of the doll, but still only felt cold and smooth resin wherever he touched it.

But Hui Yuanchu could no longer suppress a certain sense of disobedience.

Some kind of intuition lingers in my heart, but I can't find a certain opportunity for the time being, and I can't show my true appearance.

Hui Yuanchu finally gave up, walked through the silent group of dolls on the first floor, and went up the stairs to the second floor.

There are two more "scenes" upstairs.He wanted to see if there was some change in them now.

When he reached the second floor and opened the door of the first reception room, Hui Yuanchu glanced at it, closed the door and turned around to leave.In the room, the doll that was sitting and posing in front of the coffee table was also gone, and the room was empty.

He came to the door of Yoshiko Sato's tea room again.

This time, after the door was pushed open, there was still a doll kneeling in front of the tatami.

Under the moonlight, the doll lowered its head like last time, and the wig on its head obscured its face.

With some unreasonable suspicion, Hui Yuanchu walked up to it and sat down cross-legged, just like when he first met Yoko Sato here.

The doll opposite still has the appearance of Yoshiko Sato.

Hui Yuanchu frowned instead, feeling something unnatural again.

He glanced across the tea table.

When he came in the morning, the face of Sato Yoshiko's doll was raised, and the glass eyes were looking at the opposite wall.At the same time, its hands were just placed randomly on the table, at a strange angle that humans couldn't.

But at this moment, the doll was lowering its head slightly, seeming to be looking at the tea tray on the table.

Its hands were already on both sides of the tea tray, as if it wanted to straighten the tea tray.

...Although, the doll can't move, so the tea tray is still tilted.

Hui Yuan stared at this scene for a moment, feeling something strange.

After thinking for a moment, Hui Yuanchu suddenly thought of a possibility.

He took a deep look at the scene on the table, imprinted the scene deeply in his mind, and then closed his eyes.

"--Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding."

But just as he closed his eyes, the sound of the evil spirit girl's chains sounded from the corridor at the right time.

After being torn for a moment between chasing the daughter of the evil spirit and confirming his previous suspicion, Hui Yuanchu decided to chase her first.

He quickly jumped up and rushed into the corridor, where he saw the evil spirit's daughter glowing with golden light walking down the stairs, playfully throwing a wink at him.

But after running to the middle corner platform, Hui Yuanchu looked down at the entire first-floor hall. Outside the neat queue of dolls, there was no sign of the daughter of the evil spirit at all.

The sound of chains sounded again.But it seems...under his feet?
Hui Yuanchu jumped off the platform without thinking, jumped into the middle of the group of dolls, and then looked down the stairs.

Sure enough, the evil spirit girl stood in the passage leading to the back door, smiling at him and waving her hand.

...If the back door is not open, then the passage is a dead end, right?Hui Yuanchu frowned, a little confused.

But this did not prevent him from rushing towards the evil spirit girl in the passage.

The evil spirit girl kept smiling, put her hands behind her back, and took one step or two back.

Just before Hui Yuanchu was about to touch her, she had already retreated to the closed back door.

Next, the evil spirit girl chuckled, floated off the ground, and floated backwards.

Finally, she stretched out her arm and made an obvious gesture of "pointing to the left". In the same way as entering the old rose hall, the body of the daughter of the evil spirit once again entered the back door like a ghost and left.

Hui Yuanchu opened the door without thinking and chased out - but immediately stopped.

The door was empty.
