Since the incident on the online wishing board caused some innocuous and strange phenomena, no serious consequences have been seen for the time being. Even if there are some negative effects, it seems that it is only a temporary debuff.

Because we still have little idea of ​​the principle of this phenomenon, Youxiang even asked someone to try to hack the website in private, but it failed miserably.According to the description returned by the feedback, this website can be accessed obviously, but the result does not seem to exist in the actual network address. If you ping the website, the returned ip is 0.0.0.0, which makes it difficult for hackers to even launch an attack. I don't know how to start, it is really weird.

Therefore, this incident can only be put on hold temporarily, and I really can't think of anything else to do.So, I put forward the matter of "shooting horror videos and expanding the popularity of ghost talks" that I had long wanted to do, and it was unanimously welcomed by everyone in the club except Xiaotong.

"Wow! Check it out! Our video was a great success! The number of reproductions has already reached [-]!" Huashanyuan Youxiang kept refreshing the page on the laptop, watching the number of views on it slowly increase.

Originally when we filmed this video, Huashanyuan Youxiang strongly wanted to be the leading actor, but considering that her appearance on the scene might have some unnecessary safety issues, and Xiaotong’s words were paralyzed, she couldn’t convey the feeling of fear at all, so our The starring role was chosen as Ono Kyoka, the last member of Folklore Research Institute, and based on her "Kyoka" name, she came up with an alias "Shuiyue".

Facts have proved that our choice is correct. The success of this video is absolutely inseparable from Jinghua's excellent performance. I also praised Jinghua without hesitation:

[Mirror Flower is too powerful!The performance is super tense, even with a mask on, the fear can be conveyed to all the people watching the video through body movements!This effect is what I want! 】

"No, senior sister, that's not acting... I really think it's scary! You didn't tell me what kind of mannequin will appear before you let me participate in the role! So that thing can really move?! Oh my god it's terrible!!"

【Hmm... In fact, there are two other similar existences, and they also strongly expressed their desire to debut as soon as possible.So should we strike while the iron is hot and start filming the second part of the video? ! 】

"Please forgive me for declining!!!"

Jinghua, who had always had a weak voice, also roared at this moment.

Well, it is true that this kind of video cannot be released too frequently, otherwise it will be suspected of being fake, so let it slowly accumulate some popularity before making a follow-up!

What's more, the final exam is less than a week or two away, and the result of the final exam is related to whether or not there will be inhumane summer make-up classes befalling him.Therefore, after shooting this video, club activities were suspended.The following time turned into a study session that made Xiaotong feel extremely headache.

It can be seen that Xiaotong really didn't study much in the past, and his foundation is quite poor. When he started studying, he became a listless salty fish, and his fingers began to tremble subconsciously, wanting to touch the mobile phone to play mobile games.And after I forcibly confiscated her mobile phone and gave her one-on-one high-intensity make-up lessons, I felt that with her actually very smart mind, it should be more than enough to improve the level of passing the final exam in a short period of time.

And when they were studying hard to prepare for the exam, Ning Meng and I were not idle.

We're still working on that online wishing board thing in private.

Chapter 20 Deterioration

Make a wish on Tsukiyomi Shrine's online wishing board, and not every wish will come true.

Or to be more precise, the chance of the wish being fulfilled is quite small. At present, the only cases we actually have are the two wishes made by Takao Kazuha and myself, and it is not even completely sure that these two things must be related to that one. related to the website.

In statistical terms, this is called a sample size that is too small to draw a clear, uninterrupted causal relationship.

So, just increase the number of wishes.

Because making a wish on this website may have unpredictable consequences, it is still not allowed for other living people in the community to make a wish on it, so Ning Meng and I will do it for you.

For this period of time, we have been making wishes on this website with high frequency every day, trying to see if any wishes will be realized, and hope to deduce the internal screening mechanism of this wishing board by observing what kind of wishes can be realized .

Anything can be used by us to make a wish, such as "I hope it will rain soon", "I hope that there will be no green peppers in the lunch in the school cafeteria", "I hope that the ghost can also take the initiative to change clothes, and I have been tired of wearing school uniforms all the time. ", "I hope Xiaotong's cup size can be bigger" and so on.

We've granted hundreds of wishes as of today, but—

None of them came true! !

This probability has already begun to make us wonder if this wishing board is really an ordinary message board!

Or is there another possibility that it actually hides the hidden rule that each person can only make one wish?

In that case, you will have to find other guinea pigs.

In other words, Sato-kun was still crying to me yesterday, because he had heard about this wishing board from me before, so he secretly surfed the Internet in the computer room of the laboratory building and made a wish.

Its wish is——

"I hope I can debut independently, and don't be mentioned as a whole with the other two guys every time!"

It almost sounds like a line from an unknown idol.

The current situation is that since the video we just posted is a one-shot video, there is almost no trace of editing the video, and the degree of authenticity and horror is full, so the number of views on Youtube continues to increase.Even if there are accusations that the video is fake, there is almost no strong evidence.

Who would have thought that we were making horror videos with real ghost stories.

And this has led to the fact that the popularity of meat sauce is rising sharply, even higher than that of me, the beautiful girl ghost, the title protagonist of the video!Really exasperating!

So now, when it comes to the strange talk of "mannequins in biological laboratories", everyone defaults to talking about meat sauce. The presence of Sato-kun and Yingjiang is gradually thinning out. Does this count as the realization of "don't be regarded as A whole is mentioned" What about this wish?

It seems plausible, but it doesn't seem to matter much. It's hard to tell whether this is the power of desire.

I asked Meat Sauce and Baby Sauce to make a wish on the website, but the two of them don't have the ability to operate a computer, so it's a bit troublesome... I don't know if it will be useful if I make a wish on their behalf?

After Yingjiang's translation, Roujiang made a perverted wish like "I hope my internal organs can be trampled by cute girls with their feet".And after I said that I could do it for me, and that I could trample its internal organs to the point of smashing, it quickly refused with a pale face.

Yingjiang made a wish of "I wish to know who my mother is", which makes people wonder how to react. I hope it is not really like the legend, it wants to find the mother who did not let her be born to take revenge.After this wish was made, there seems to be no sign of its realization so far.

So the investigation of the wishing board was once again at a loss.

until the third day after the exam.

Our school does not have a holiday immediately after the end-of-semester exams, but there is still a process of grading papers, confirming the list of students for holiday tuition, and announcing holiday matters. It will probably take two days, and the closing ceremony will be held on the first day after the exam. Held in the morning for three days.

After finally listening to the nun's lengthy speech of "giving love to the world" which has been heard almost countless times, amidst the cheers of the auditorium, the summer vacation finally came as scheduled!

In the afternoon, most of the other students had already packed their luggage and began to go home one after another, but a few idlers from the Folklore Research Institute sat in the club activity room again.

"First of all, let's celebrate passing the final exam together! Cheers!"

Youxiang opened a can of drink with a "snap", and after clinking glasses with everyone, he began to drink with his head raised.

Jinghua took a small sip and complained: "It is said to celebrate the passing of all the staff, but in fact, only Senior Sister Xiaotong needs to be worried? It is really a thrilling senior Sister Xiaotong to pass this time."

[This is all due to me! 】I take credit without humility.

Xiaotong leaned on the back of the chair, raised her head and rolled her eyes, and said, "I feel like I have learned all my life's work in the past few days... I don't want to study anymore..."

【siskin!How did you learn it! 】

"Okay, the holidays are here! Put your studies aside! Now is the time to decide on our summer club activities! Now I have a brilliant idea. Since those clubs in the sports department have to do some kind of camp, why don't we come too? Let’s sleep together! And I recently found a perfect place!! Clang, clang, look at this!!”

Youxiang suddenly took out a poster that looked very familiar to me.

After seeing the poster, Xiaotong, who was slumped on the chair in the posture of a cripple, opened his eyes wide in an instant, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, "That...could it be...?"

Youxiang said to Xiaotong in a reproachful tone: "Xiaotong, since there are priestesses in your shrine to experience such interesting activities, why didn't you think of us as the first ones!"

Xiaotong's eyes revealed the meaning of "it's over", and she hurriedly explained: "No, the maidens recruited by our shrine are not going to engage in some experience activities. If you want to prepare for the festival, it will be really busy. It’s simply a coolie! Not to mention that there are really evil spirits in our shrine... um..."

Xiaotong instantly realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said, and covered her mouth reflexively, but it was too late.

Youxiang's eyes lit up instantly.

"What did you say? There are real evil spirits! Then what are you waiting for, isn't this the perfect place?!"

"But……"

"Okay, the objection is invalid! That's it!"

"Well…………"

After happily deciding on the first activity of the holiday, there was a sudden knock on the door of the activity room, and then, without waiting for the people in the room to respond, Kazuha Takao pushed the door and walked in .

"You are indeed here!"

"Huh? Senior!" Youxiang's eyes lit up again, "Senior, I remember your home is on Mount Takao, right?"

"um, yes?"

"Then do you want to come to Xiao Tong's house for a sleepover during the summer vacation?"

"Eh? It's okay... I can stay there for a few days, anyway, it's very convenient to come and go. No, I'll talk about that later, I came to you in a hurry!"

Takao Kazuha suddenly turned to Xiaotong, and said with a dignified expression: "There are two things, both of which are related to the wishing board of the shrine in your family. One is a friend of mine, the former head of our school's basketball club. The third graders, because of her invitation, I often participated in their activities as a member of the basketball club. Because the third graders will basically leave the club after this semester, and they will not participate in the upcoming summer training. My friend seems to be very sorry about this. So she didn’t know who she heard about your family’s website. She made a wish on it and said, ‘I hope there will be a successful curtain call in the last club activity’. Then during the club activities yesterday In the middle, they held a friendly match to send off the third-year senior sister. In this match, because she wanted to perform too well, she attacked too hard. During the jump shot, she was hit and lost her balance and fell to the ground. The result seemed to be that her ankle was broken what!"

"Ah..." Xiao Tong didn't know what to say for a while.

【One more thing? ] I wrote quickly.

"Another thing, maybe even more serious... I just heard about it from my family. A housewife ran to the main hall of our Yaowangyuan, invested tens of thousands of incense money, and grabbed a The monk didn't let go of his sleeve, and kept repeating that he asked him to bring her child back."

"Her child...what's wrong?"

"It is said that she was bullied at school, and then she stopped going to school and locked herself in the room all the time. When her mother delivered food to her one day, she found that the food delivered the day before was still at the door. However, there was no response when she knocked on the door vigorously. Her mother was frightened, thinking that the child had done something in the house, so the father forcefully opened the door, only to find that the child's room was empty, and she was not in the room. But the doors and windows They are all locked from the inside. There is no reason for her to disappear out of thin air, and the neighbors around have never seen her impression. In her room, the computer screen is on, and the picture on it is your shrine The wishing board, and the text she left on the screen was—'If only everyone disappeared except me!'”

[It sounds a bit miserable.But this wish... If I disappear, I won't be able to see everyone else, so it means that everyone else has disappeared, so it seems that there is no problem with understanding...]

"The mother didn't believe that the child disappeared out of thin air just because of such an outrageous thing as making a wish, but I heard that the police had been looking for it for more than two weeks, but they still couldn't find it. The mother was so anxious that there was no other way, I just found it based on the address on that website, but because your shrine is not easy to find, she seems to regard Yakuo-in Temple as your shrine. Anyway... this matter is a bit big now... "

Chapter 21 Cut off

On the first day of the summer vacation, we met that friend of Takao Kazuha, the former head of the basketball club, Yuri Inoue in the hospital.

When she opened the door and walked into the ward, she was sitting on the hospital bed looking out the window, with short and medium hair loosened behind her head, and a thick plaster was cast on her right foot and calf on the soft white pillow. Several ugly stickman faces and a weeping seppuku were painted on the plaster with a marker.

As soon as Takao Kazuha entered the door, he greeted her first: "Hi, Yuri, I came to see you, do you feel better?"

Hearing Takao's voice, Inoue turned around and complained with a mournful face: "It's not good at all! I heard that my feet have to be immobilized for at least two months! Yes! Yes! Yes! Say! I can't go into the water for the whole summer vacation!! I still Planning to go to Hawaii for vacation! The last summer vacation of high school is wasted like this!!"

A series of exclamation marks made Gao Wei's eardrums ache. She rubbed her brows and said, "Well, seeing that you are so energetic, I know that there is probably nothing serious about you."

"Is it a big deal!!"

At this time, Xiaotong looked around the entire ward curiously, and found that the ground, the low table at the head of the bed, and the window sills were full of condolences.

Yuri Inoue saw Yuxiang and Hitomi behind Kazuha Takao at this time, his expression froze, and he whispered, "Huh? Isn't this...'Contrarian'?"

Takao Kazuha showed his knife, and slashed at Inoue's forehead with a "slap".

"Be careful, don't call out such nicknames, it's very impolite." Kazuha said sternly.

Inoue whispered, "Hey, why did you bring her here?"

"He is concerned about you, and by the way, he came here to investigate the truth about your injury."

"The truth...? What truth, isn't my injury an accident..."

"Senior Inoue, hello, sorry to bother you." Xiaotong saluted slightly, and then said, "I heard that before you got hurt, senior, you made a wish on an online wishing website. Is there a desire to have a successful curtain call in the last club activities?"

"That's right...but..."

"To tell you the truth, senior, the website you made a wish on is run by our shrine."

"!!!"

Inoue shrank his neck in fear, and said in a trembling tone: "You... what do you want to do, is it... are you taking revenge on me for my injury? I didn't say anything bad about you... mainly second graders The younger generation is saying, I... I just echoed a few words..."

"No, I don't have such an idea, you think too much, senior sister."

"Hey, is that so? Phew..." Inoue heaved a sigh of relief, "I thought I was cursed by some supernatural means, Kazuha, you know, I'm not very good at this kind of thing..."

"Sister, it's like this. Several people who made a wish on this website seem to have encountered some bad things, so we want to find out about the situation." Huashanyuan Youxiang stepped forward and explained, "Sister, you Why do you want to make a wish on that website?"

"Why... just like the literal meaning of this wish, I may not play basketball when I go to college, so I just want to have a successful curtain call at the end."

"Eh?" Youxiang was surprised, "Why didn't you play in college? You can also join the basketball club when you go to college, right? The sports club in college must be stronger and more professional!"

Inoue smiled wryly and shook his head, "But... I didn't play basketball so seriously, it was just a hobby. When I went to college, the people around me were too strong and would put pressure on me. And People in my family have long disliked me playing basketball every day, saying that a girl like me who plays basketball crazily all day long will not get married. So I thought, my fate with basketball is probably the last one in this high school. Xia Tian will be completely cut off, I don’t think there is any pity about it. It’s just... oh..."

Inoue sighed heavily, and continued: "It's the last semester of the third grade, and I should graduate from the club after all. I'm just... a little reluctant to part with the friends in the club. After all, the relationship between me and them The only contact I have is basketball, and most of the time I can only see each other during club activities. I think that if I graduate like this, I may never be in touch again in the future, so I feel a little sad... I happened to see it while browsing YouTube. A Vtuber was recommending a website where you can get blessings by making a wish online without going to a shrine, so I went to make a wish with the mentality of giving it a try. I think, at least in the end, I want to leave a hero for the younger generations Handsome image! Only in this way can they not forget me... However, it seems to have failed, haha."

"However... I think that even if they failed to leave the most handsome image in the final club activities, the members of the basketball club should not forget Senior Inoue, right? It seems that Senior Inoue is thinking too much."

Xiaotong pointed to the flowers and fruits everywhere in the room, the thousand paper cranes hanging outside the window, and the graffiti on the plaster of Inoue's right foot, and then said: "I feel that Miss Inoue is really loved. Woolen cloth."

"Fart's love, I told them not to come, but in the end, all of them lay on my bedside, crying and howling, and scribbling on the plaster cast on my feet! The guy who knocked me down in the air was still holding a stick Banana gestured in front of me and said she wanted to apologize by harakiri, if I hadn’t been unable to stand up, I would have gone up and kicked her a long time ago!”

"So, I think Inoue-senpai shouldn't worry too much. The juniors really like Inoue-senpai. Even after graduating in the future, maybe there will be some OG meeting and so on. I believe they are very happy. It's easy to call out."

"That's right, they all said they would follow me for the rest of their lives, but I want to see who dares to break their promise." Inoue said with a smile.

After visiting Senior Inoue, when I came out of the hospital, I saw Xiaotong's thoughtful expression, so I lowered my head and asked Xiaotong: "Xiaotong, what do you think... what is her wish in Inoue?" Did it come true or not?"

"On the surface, it should not be. After all, what she wants is a successful curtain call. But from a deeper level, it feels like her wish has come true. She hopes that the successful curtain call is for the younger generation Leave a good impression and memory, but she has already done it, right? It's just that she didn't seem to notice it before, and she was a little worried about gains and losses, but this time the injury made her realize it, didn't she?"

"Indeed." I sighed, "Now I'm a little confused, and I can't tell whether the god really wants to fulfill people's wishes, or wants to distort people's wishes. But, I now It seems to be gradually figuring it out."

"Huh? What do you want to understand?"

"The commonality of wishes that were fulfilled. Let's list all the wishes that seem to have been fulfilled so far——

"Hope and Brother Yixin are not real siblings,

"I hope Xiaotong can quit that garbage game,

"I hope there will be a successful ending in the final club activities,

"It would be nice if everyone but me disappeared,

"Also, maybe I can add another one, I hope I can make an independent debut, so I don't want to be mentioned as a whole with the other two guys every time! Hitomi, did you find anything?"
