Start a Core Pod

Chapter 1624 hint (I shrank into a ball from the cold)

I have to say that the saying that the three stooges are equal to Zhuge Liang still makes sense.

After what Chitanda said, Duanmu Huai remembered that it was true that strange stories were the favorite thing of adolescent children. These people contributed to more than half of the box office data of the horror movies I acted in.

Moreover, Japanese ghost stories are very different from other places.

That is, it will tell you the solution.

Chinese ghost stories usually end with going to a temple or finding a Taoist priest or the like to solve the problem.

Most ghost stories in the West are left to exorcists or priests.

Only Japanese ghost stories are different, they are rooted in life, and the solutions are very life-like.

For example, the famous story of the girl with a slit mouth. As everyone knows, a woman wearing a mask will ask you "Am I beautiful?" and if you answer yes, she will rip your mouth open and say, "Then become like me." Just the same.” If you answer “not pretty,” she will kill you.

But in fact, there is a solution behind this rumor, which is to spray medical alcohol on the slit girl, and the slit girl will run away.

The reason is that the reason why the slit woman became a slit woman was that the cosmetic surgery failed, so when she smells the smell of medical alcohol, she will think of the original incident and be scared away.

There are many similar ghost stories in Japan, and they basically follow this routine. It will tell you a ghost story first, then tell you how to expel it if you encounter one, and then tell you why you should do it.

If this is a collection of group consciousness, then... things get interesting.

Assuming that these strange stories are all symptoms of puberty syndrome, it means that the cracked girl acts strictly according to how humans imagine her to look like, so as long as everyone thinks that the cracked girl will be scared away by medical alcohol, and this method is indeed It makes sense, then the slit girl will indeed be scared away by medical alcohol.

Perfectly closed loop belongs to yes.

But what Duanmu Huai is looking for is not this simple weird story.

Since we suspect that this is related to the erosion of subspace, the easiest way is to find out if there are any legends related to subspace.

That's easy.

Duanmuhuai can immediately lock the target by typing "different space, strange story" in the search bar.

In fact, thanks to the Internet and big data, it is indeed very easy to find.

"Kisaragi Station."

Looking at the first search result on his phone, Duanmuhuai clicked on the table.

This is indeed a very famous internet ghost story. Even Duanmu Huai, who doesn’t often look up this kind of information online, has heard of it, because there is also a director trying to make it into a movie and inviting Duan Muhuai to perform. So Duanmu Huai did read some of the records about Ruyue Station.

The rumor about Kisaragi Station first appeared on the Internet forum. At that time, someone posted online, saying that the train he was riding had not stopped, and asked netizens for help. Later, many enthusiastic netizens helped. In this way, netizens learned The train that the person took arrived at a place called "Kisaragi Station", but there was no such station at all, and later the person who posted the message completely disappeared.

Since many netizens participated at the time, this was basically a supernatural event witnessed by the public, so soon, rumors about Kisaragi Station spread.

Of course, it is easy to explain it using realistic theory. That website does not require registration, and the messages are all sent anonymously. Maybe it is someone who wants to play everyone, so he fabricated such a story in a serious way. After all, there are many people having fun online, and there are also many people writing short compositions.

But obviously, everyone prefers to seek excitement.

Compared to "someone made up a story to make people laugh," the rumor that "there really is a tram that leads to another world" is obviously more interesting.

Of course, there are different opinions on how to get to Kisaragi Station. Some people say that there will be a train with no designated journey time at the last train time. Others say that as long as you sit in the train, you will automatically go to another world after twelve o'clock.

But Duanmu Huai doesn’t have to look at them one by one. He just needs to find the one with the highest number of views.

Because if Duanmuhuai's conjecture is correct, then as long as everyone thinks that they can get on the train to Ruyue Station, then they will definitely be able to get on it.

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do recently, so Duanmu Huai plans to wait until he finishes filming the movie during the summer vacation, then take a few days to investigate and make some preparations, and then we will talk about the rest.

As for now...

"It would be nice if the world were destroyed..."

Sitting at the dining table, Yanami muttered to himself in an apocalyptic tone, his eyes dull, as if he had been squeezed dry.

Duanmu Huai was already used to this.

"It's better to keep out of sight. Didn't you tell me before that Kusuke is your good friend and Hua Lian is also your good friend? Their happiness is your happiness?"

"Yeah... Why is this happening?"

Nanami looked out the window silently.

"For the first time, I have someone I like, someone I can be a lifelong friend with. Two happy things overlapped, and these two joys brought me more happiness. What I got was what I should have been. Happiness like a dream...but why did it become like this..."

Are you sure you and Hualian can be lifelong friends? I don’t think it would be surprising if you stabbed her to death on the rooftop one day.

By the way, today is Sunday, and the reason why Duanmu Huai and Banai came out together was... the literary club's project research.

Well, after all, it is the Department of Classical Literature, so it is natural to do research related to literature. Chitanda is a daughter, and the access control seems to be very strict, so I had to do it with Duanmu Huai and Nanai.

By the way, if it was purely about the study of ancient Chinese literature, then Duanmu Huai would not be interested, and Banai Jian would be even less interested. However, Duanmu Huai knew how to manipulate others, so he decisively changed the research topic.

That is - studying the food in ancient literary works!

Hearing this topic, Yanami's eyes immediately lit up, so they agreed to go out together on Sunday and eat all the delicacies recorded in the books!

In this regard, Banai Jian was more proactive than Duanmu Huai, and even offered to leave the task of collecting ancient food information to her.

Well, Duanmu Huai naturally has no objection to this, or that is what he originally wanted to do.

But now that I see Yana on the verge of death, she has completely lost the joy that she had that day, as if she is on her deathbed.

The reason is...

"What happened to the previous class reunion?"

"Um……"

Banai Jian told her counterpart Duan Muhuai that the junior high school was going to hold a class reunion, and Kusuke would take Hua Lian there. Although Hua Lian was not a junior high school classmate, there was a saying that "I have a lover and I want to introduce it at the class reunion." It is traditional, so Kusuke will also take Hua Lian with him.

Well...according to Hanami, she and Kusuke have been together since elementary school, and probably the same thing in junior high school. Everyone thinks they are lovers.

And now Kusuke is taking Hana Lian to get to know everyone, which means that all the junior high school classmates Banana meets know that she has been dumped. At that time, Nanami even watched Chicken Soup for the Soul to soothe her wounded heart. Now it seems that Chicken Soup for the Soul is indeed a scam.

"So, they were chirping at me at the class reunion?"

"Hahaha...I overcame that level a month ago, right? Now even if they say I love you in front of me, my iron heart will remain indifferent."

They would actually say such things in front of you... It seems that Nanami's mental toughness is far beyond imagination.

However, at this moment, Bana's eyes were even more blank.

"But... like picking up the trash immediately after eating, or helping to carry luggage without leaving a trace, tacit communication in the moment of eye contact, sharing a point card, using the same mobile phone ringtone, and choosing the same things to wear. Make a color, and don’t say anything when they are disbanded. The two of them go home together..."

Nanami picked up the water glass on the table, drank it in one gulp, and then slammed it on the table.

"That's exactly it! They are just like a newlywed couple who have gone through the running-in period and become inseparable! Why are they so skilled! How many times have they done this! How far do they have to throw me away before they are willing to accept it!"

"…………"

Having said this, Yana lay down on the table.

"Obviously...it was me first, whether we were together or fell in love with that guy..."

"Uh... Anyway, let's eat something first. It's hard to talk when you're hungry."

Duanmu Huai decided to stuff her mouth with food.

"Sorry, give me an ice cream soda."

"You want this today?"

Duanmuhuai was somewhat surprised to see that Banajian only ordered one portion, while Banajian stared at him silently.

"Duanmu-san, did you know? Somenoodles are actually carbohydrates, because those guys are cold and slippery, so I was deceived. They look very thin, but they don't taste bad, right? It turns out that they will change after eating them. Being fat makes me feel like I'm at a disadvantage..."

"...I haven't finished eating yet."

"Um…………"

Of course Duanmuhuai knew what Banami was talking about. When Banami's father paid his salary last month, he got some noodles worth 300,000 yen as salary, so Banami also brought them to the Classical Department for processing. share.

But... there were several boxes of somen noodles, and Duanmuhuai had no appetite for them, and Chitanda couldn't bear it even more.

The reason why Yana can hold on until now is entirely because of her good appetite. Now it seems that good appetite has its limits.

By the way, the company where Yana saw her father working was about to close down.

At this time, the waiter also brought drinks and desserts. Hanami also raised his phone and took pictures of the ice cream soda in front of him.

"Is this interesting?"

Looking at Banajian's actions, Duanmuhuai couldn't understand it at all. Many girls like to take photos of food during meals and post them online, but Duanmuhuai didn't understand the significance of this at all.

"This is a trend. Duanmu is like this. He doesn't care about fashion at all. This is not okay..."

While taking pictures, Bana replied, then she stared at the phone and suddenly stopped.

"Duanmu-san! Look at this!"

Then, Banajian hurriedly turned the phone over and opened it to Duanmu Huai.

"Um?"

Duanmuhuai looked at the photo of ice cream soda taken above.

"Any questions?"

"Look here, upper left corner, here and here."

Banajian stretched out his hand and pointed, and then Duanmuhuai saw that his hand seemed to be captured in the photo.

"What's wrong? If you don't want me to be photographed, I'll just sit next to you."

"That's not the problem."

Yanami slapped the table hard.

"Look, taking photos like this gives people the feeling that there is someone opposite me. This is a suggestive photo, a suggestive photo!"

"Oh...you mean this..."

After hearing this, Duanmu Huai finally understood what Banai Jian meant.

In fact, this kind of photos occasionally appear in the entertainment industry, mainly for virality. For example, if there are things of the opposite **** in the home photos taken by artists, or if the figure of the opposite **** is accidentally photographed, etc., they will be criticized for it. Although those artists will say that it belongs to their younger brothers and sisters...

"But I see you are not an artist, Yana."

"You don't understand this, classmate Duanmu. In fact, after this class reunion, many men wanted to add me to my contacts. Do they think I was dumped and that I was very vulnerable during this period and wanted to take advantage of it?" !”

"Um………"

I can’t say it’s not completely, or it is not at all.

"So, I thought of a good way!"

At this point, Bana changed her dejection and became excited. Her eyes widened and she stared at Duanmu Huai.

"Classmate Duanmu, do you want to pretend to be my boyfriend?"
