The Hundred Stories of Miss Ghost

This house should now belong to Mr. Fujiwara's parents, but both his son and granddaughter died in this house, and they probably wouldn't want to live in it, so they entrusted the house to a real estate company for rent or sale.But... the expensive villa is not very easy to sell, let alone someone who has died, so this house has been shelved here.

After getting the key from the administrator of the real estate company, we walked into the courtyard of this lake house.

The red rain was still pattering down, Xiaotong and the police officer both put on umbrellas, and at the same time put on tight long-sleeved trousers this summer, trying to keep the red rain from getting on their bodies.

But Police Officer Usui saw that Hitomi only opened her umbrella halfway, and there was an unnatural space under the umbrella beside her, so she couldn't help reminding: "Mr. After all, this rain is a bit weird, if it gets on your body, it might have some effect..."

Xiaotong didn't know how to explain, hesitated for a while, and finally said truthfully: "That... a friend of mine must hold an umbrella with me."

Yes, that friend is me!

Holding an umbrella with someone you like is a very romantic thing, isn't it? !In many cases, matching umbrellas is the beginning of love!

but!On normal rainy days, when I want to squeeze an umbrella with Xiaotong, Xiaotong will be very disgusted and say that you are a ghost and you can't touch the rain, what kind of umbrella are you wearing?

And at this moment, I suddenly realized that this is such a good opportunity to play an umbrella with Xiaotong~

Now, I can say that this red rain might also affect ghosts! , so the ghost should try not to touch the red rainwater as much as possible!In this way, Xiaotong has no way to refute anything!

Police officer Usui looked at Xiaotong with a strange look for a while, "Your...friend?"

Xiaotong didn't try to explain anything, but after walking awkwardly for a while, she realized belatedly, "Wait a minute, senior sister, why didn't you just possess me? That wouldn't happen anyway. Have you come into contact with the red rain?"

Watson, you have discovered your blind spot!

"You make a lot of sense, but I don't want it." At this time, just pretend to be cute and you can get away with it~

Xiaotong rolled her eyes at me, and then said nothing more.

We walked into the small lakeside building, and the first thing I saw was the trestle bridge leading to the lake that was exactly the same as in the painting I saw before.

We walked towards the trestle bridge and stood by the bridge overlooking the lake.

After looking at it for a long time, this lake looks like an ordinary lake. The only thing that looks abnormal is that the red rain hits the water, and layers of light red smoke are stirred up under the water. That's all.This lake can't speak, there are no water monsters living in it, and a goddess won't suddenly come out and ask you whether you dropped golden pupils or silver pupils. The plan to triple the pupils that I had dreamed up in my mind ended without a problem.

Xiaotong carefully observed the lake surface, her eyes seemed to see something deeper inside through the lake water.

Police officer Usui glanced at the notebook in his hand, and explained to Xiaotong: "This small lake has existed for a long time. We investigated the past case records near here. After 40 years of Showa era, not counting the recent Takashi Fujiwara , there were a total of five fatal accidents, two of which were confirmed as drowning suicides at the time, and the other three were determined to be children who fell into the water and drowned, and did not attract much attention at the time. It's hard to find."

"There are five incidents..." I couldn't help sighing, "It seems that there was indeed something in this lake."

Xiaotong's expression was a bit troubled, "I'm here... I can't feel anything. Maybe there used to be something here, but it should be gone now."

"Now, what are we going to do?" Officer Usui asked.

"I want to psychic this lake, try to see if I can see something with my psychic dream ability." Unexpectedly, when Xiaotong opened his mouth, I was startled.

"Hey, Hitomi, wait a minute... You want to channel this lake? This lake is most likely the source of the blue whale game. Wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to channel it directly?!"

Breaking through ten tricks, just when I was still thinking about how to find clues about the organizer of the game, I didn't expect you to directly plan to psychic the culprit.

After staring at the water of the lake for a long time, Xiao Tong replied, "I guess, it must be some kind of ritual to organize hundreds of people to commit suicide. Since the things in this lake are no longer here, there is a high probability It is at the place where the ceremony started. We just need to confirm its current location. So, just channel it, and cut off the connection immediately after sensing the approximate location. I think... Although there is a risk, the risk should be controllable."

"Xiaotong, calm down... why are you suddenly so reckless? This is not your style. Didn't you remind me before that this weirdness has the ability to pollute the spirit, so you should be as careful as possible? Why are you so reckless when it's your turn?"

"But..." Xiaotong opened his mouth, struggled for a while, and then said, "Time is running out, now that there is a phenomenon like red rain from the sky, and there are hundreds of people who may commit suicide in groups at any time, We have little time to lose. This should be the fastest way to locate the culprit."

"How about this? Let me attach to your body, and then use your ability to psychic? I also used your ability when you were stolen by the mirror ghost before." I thought about it for a while. suggested.

"Does that make any difference?"

"It's equivalent to adding a layer of springboard, just like hackers need to find a few broilers as a springboard to avoid being discovered. In case the big whale finds out, maybe it sees me instead of you, at least A god plus a spirit body like me must be safer than a living mortal like Xiao Tong, right?"

"But…………"

"It's nothing more, it's settled like this, what should the psychic do?"

"...First of all, you have to find some pointing objects related to the target of the psychic. Generally speaking, for a psychic, the utensils he used in his lifetime, or a part of the body such as hair will be more commonly used, but psychic is a lake... "

"Is it okay to use this lake water directly?"

"The best choice... must be the painting called [Lake], but that painting is lost... Otherwise, let's go to the room and look for it first, maybe we can find some other clues."

Chapter 38 Resonance

The layout of the villa was no different from the last time I came here, except that a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the floor and furniture.

Standing in front of the door of Meijia's room on the second floor, Xiao Tong felt a little dazed, as if as soon as the door was pushed, that brown-yellow curly hair, like a ghost of a doll, would still stand by the window.

Turn the doorknob and carefully push the door open. In fact, there is no such ghost in the room.

Xiaotong walked into the room, but there seemed to be ringing in her ears.

"Hitomi, have you ever seen the ocean?"

"Are there really whales flying in the sky?"

"I'm tired of the scenery here. I can only lie on the hospital bed and look at the lake for many years. I want to see what the real sea looks like."

What the white-clothed ghost said to him in the past echoed in Xiaotong's ears like a tidal wave.

Rubbing between his brows, the auditory hallucinations beside his ears disappeared.Xiaotong came to the bookshelf, reached out and pulled out a picture album from above, and spread it out.

This is the story of a little brown-haired girl who travels the world on the back of a giant whale.

This is a story drawn by Fujiwara Takashi for his daughter Mika who has a congenital disease and cannot travel freely.

The color of the picture is quite bright and colorful. The protagonist of the story rides a whale and flies to the moon sinking under the water, to the library on the top of the mountains, and to the school built on the clouds.

It's such a heartwarming and imaginative story, it's hard to imagine how this whale could turn into a horror story in reality.

"Dad is a liar, and friends on the internet told me that flying whales are fantasy creatures that don't exist."

"Ah, of course, when the other party heard that I couldn't go out, they changed their words and said that such a creature might exist. Maybe it doesn't exist in reality, but God might really exist in his old man's heaven."

"However, I'm dead now, and I haven't gone to the kingdom of heaven. Where is the kingdom of heaven?"

The tinnitus came again, and Xiao Tong felt dizzy for a while.

By the way, what else did Meijia say to herself?

"Sometimes, at night, I can hear the lake. It says, go to it. I ask it, is it a flying whale? Can you fly me away? It says yes. But, At night, I looked out the window and saw that the lake was covered with darkness. I was a little scared, and it was painful to go out, so I didn't go.

"However, sometimes, I can see from the window that Dad sometimes sits on the trestle at night and talks to the lake. Since my death, he has been painting on the trestle and facing the lake even during the day. Painting. My father has been under a lot of pressure, divorced from my mother, and can’t draw new works, and my condition has been deteriorating. I saw him on the trestle, and there was even a feeling that he was about to be sucked into the lake in the feeling.

"He seems to be drawing the picture of the lake recently. He is very obsessed with it. He has drawn many pictures, but he is not satisfied and discards them all. He said that he must draw the best one. Sometimes, when I One of those paintings seems to be able to see a whale, sometimes it is not visible, and then it can be seen in another after a while, as if the whale can swim across these different paintings. You Can you tell my dad not to live here? It always feels so weird.

"Did you tell him? What, he won't leave as long as I'm here? I don't want to stay here by myself, I'm an earth-bound spirit. Otherwise, Xiaotong, can you take me out of here? I I want to look around, I want to see other places, I want to meet other friends, and I want to see the real sea. Hitomi, can you?"

Xiao Tong staggered for a moment, and then felt as if she was being supported by something.

"Hey, Xiaotong, are you okay? Why do you feel like you are in a trance after entering this room?"

"I'm fine, senior sister, quickly look for other paintings in this room. Mr. Fujiwara painted more than one painting of [Lake] at the time, and there are several discarded ones. You can use that as a psychic material !"

"OK~"

Mian and the police officer went to other rooms to look for paintings, while Xiaotong stayed in this room to continue searching.

There was nothing more worthy of attention on the bookshelf, and Xiaotong's eyes moved to the low table beside the bed.

There is a tablet computer there, remembering what Meijia said, the way she spends her time here, besides reading books and picture books, the rest is surfing the Internet.Xiao Tong didn't know if it was because she was a little nervous after hearing about the cult. Now whenever she heard words like God and heaven, she would instinctively associate them in the direction of the cult.

She picked up the tablet and tried to turn it on, but it must have been left for too long and ran out of battery, so the tablet didn't respond.She couldn't see the charger, so she had to put down the tablet regrettably.

But at this time, Mian yelling was heard downstairs, it seemed that he had found the painting.

Xiao Tong put down the tablet and hurried downstairs, but when she went out, she saw the screen of the tablet light up for a moment, and then looked at it again, but it seemed to be an illusion.

-----

In the studio on the first floor, I found two or three discarded paintings that Xiaotong said were very similar to the [Lake] painting, and I hurriedly called for Xiaotong to come down.

However, when she came down, she had a thoughtful expression again.

"Hey, Xiaotong, look at this quickly, can this be used for psychic communication?"

Xiaotong took a look and nodded, "Let's try it."

To put it bluntly, Xiaotong's psychic ability is some kind of application of her divine ability, summoning a certain spirit and connecting with it, briefly seeing what the other party sees, this ability is inherently quite dangerous, and it is easy to attract scourge of things.

So, according to what I said before, I will possess Xiaotong's body, and then I will control Xiaotong's body for psychic communication. Using this relatively circumventing method is equivalent to adding a little bit of security?

So, on the trestle bridge, I attached myself to Xiaotong and immersed myself in those two paintings.

Then, suddenly, my perspective began to fragment.

At the same time, I seem to be in many places at the same time, facing the faces of many people.

I was here and there at the same time, and this feeling of my personality being split into countless parts gave me a headache.If Xiaotong is really allowed to see this kind of perspective directly, I'm afraid it may not just go crazy.

Surprisingly, though, I feel like I'm getting used to it pretty quickly.

From the light reflected in their pupils, I know that almost all of them are looking at various electronic screens such as mobile phones, tablets, and monitors. The background on these screens is the painting called [Lake] painting.

At this moment, I suddenly understood.This whale seems to be able to move on the painting called [Lake], and even the painting displayed by electronic devices can also do the same. Is this how this whale travels in the online world?

Yet again, I found that there were other perspectives that were more terrifying.Those perspectives are not peeping at people through the screen of a mobile phone, but clearly... looking at the world from a human perspective.

And on the arms of these people, there is a whale depicted. They are all "advanced" players whose subjects are close to the final subject, and this perspective makes me understand that they have almost become the whale itself. part.

No need for social media, no need for language, information is passed between them through some kind of silk thread, and emotions of pilgrimage and joy spread in this network.

"That day is near."

"That day is near."

so they cheered.

"there."

"there."

This is how they describe a place.

These voices are almost not human voices, but like the chirping of whales, which is extremely difficult to understand.

I tried my best to distinguish the information, but at this moment, all the voices suddenly became silent, and I saw a huge eye cast a glance at me.

This whale seems to have been watching us for a long time.

The huge gravitational force seemed to draw me into a certain vortex, and I only had time to send the last message I saw to Xiaotong.

[At Qingfeng High School. 】

Chapter 39 Exceptions

Xiaotong suddenly felt a loss of strength all over his body, and his legs became weak uncontrollably and fell to the ground.

Police officer Usui who was watching hurriedly stepped forward to support Xiaotong, and asked in a panic, "Are you all right?"

Xiaotong pressed her forehead with one hand, with a pained look on her face, she had a strange feeling, as if a big wave had just hit and swept away something in her body.

Xiaotong subconsciously asked: "Sister? Are you there?"

There was no response, and there was a dead silence in his head.

The ominous premonition became stronger and stronger, Xiaotong stood upright, closed his eyes and felt the state of the body.

The senior sister really disappeared.

Was it sucked away by the sudden and weird suction just now?

Xiao Tong immediately shifted her attention to the painting just now, but she saw that it was still on the trestle by the lake that was almost exactly the same as in reality in the painting, Mochizuki was standing on the bridge, turning her head in a daze, Whether Xiaotong pats the painting, talks to it, or sinks his consciousness into the painting, nothing will trigger any changes.

"Tsk." Xiao Tong clenched her fists violently, she was still too reckless, since yesterday she had been very anxious and impatient, and ended up using this method recklessly. In fact, the senior sister did, as she said, serve as a springboard And the barrier helped myself to block it.

What will happen to the seniors who are involved in the painting?When I was in the gallery before, Xiaotong had seen similar paintings like this, but the people standing on the trestle bridge were different, and almost without exception, those people died and turned into undead, and they seemed to have been brainwashed.What about senior sister?

Xiaotong thought of Mochizuki-senpai's last voice just now.

【At Qingfeng High School】.

In fact, I should have thought of this long ago.But... I'm afraid it's just because of the shadow of the past, I've been subconsciously avoiding going back there...

Xiaotong raised his head, and said to Police Officer Usui with an unusually serious tone: "Officer, this is Qingfeng High School in Hachioji City. There is a high probability that the destination where those people are planning to commit suicide is there!"

"Qingfeng High School?" Officer Usui nodded, without asking further questions. After all, he couldn't understand too much of these weird things. He took out his phone directly, probably calling the headquarters, and asked to go to Qingfeng High School again. Focus on adding more manned patrols.

In fact, this is also a gamble.Because the whole of Tokyo is so big, there is a serious shortage of patrolling manpower everywhere. If more people are sent to one place, perhaps there will be bigger patrol blind spots in other places, and it is possible to miss the real crisis. .

However, Usui chose to believe Xiaotong, after all, some strange things happened to Xiaotong that made her look like a genuine psychic, and in the previous investigation, she did indeed provide crucial clues.

Usui opened the door of the police car and said to Xiaotong: "Get in the car, we will go there now."
