The neon lights and the bright lights of summer nights look like a Ukiyo-e painting.

Drunkards hold bottles of wine and wander the streets, while dancers wear gaudy makeup and sing and dance.

"Ding-ling~ Ding-ling~"

The clear and pleasant sound of the copper bell echoed in the deserted streets. At this time, thick fog suddenly appeared in the midsummer night. It was strange and quiet. The only thing that could be heard was the sound of the copper bell.

"No need, You, just relax. I'm near home. What can happen? I won't say any more. I'll be home soon."

On the street at night, a girl was carrying a dessert box and talking on the phone.

The girl was wearing a long floral skirt and a linen-colored light jacket. Her pink shoulder-length hair was tied up with two black butterflies. Her delicate face was full of happiness at this moment. It seemed that the person on the phone was very important to the girl.

The girl's name was Nakano Nino, and she was a student at the famous aristocratic academy [Sobu High School Private Academy] in Tokyo.

Normally, Nakano Nino would go home before the sun went down, and the reason why she went home so late today was actually because she was invited to participate in a storytelling meeting.

The storytelling meeting was actually a ghost story gathering, and it was a good friend of Nakano Nino who invited her to participate.

Because they were all girls, and she also wanted to practice her courage, Nakano Nino didn't have any worries and went with peace of mind.

But speaking of it, Nakano Nino felt It was boring.

There were no interesting stories told in that storytelling session. Only a horror story called"Shirai" told by a girl named Danji was pretty good. Does she still remember the story of Shirai?

It was said that in the Warring States Period, there was a blindfolded woman named Shirai. After her death, in order to make people remember her, she turned into a cursed female ghost with bells tied on her hands. Anyone who had heard the story of"Shirai" would be found by Shirai.

Accompanied by the sound of bells, anyone who was approached by Shirai and looked into their eyes would suffer from heart failure and burst eyeballs and die.

This story was not very scary. After all, how could a cursed female ghost kill people just to make others remember her?

At least Nakano Nino didn't believe in this. Although her grades were not very good, she was a staunch materialist after all. How could she be scared by such a story?

But it was just...Why is it suddenly foggy around?

Nino stopped and looked around timidly, holding her phone. It was quiet all around. It was a street in the city, but surprisingly there was no one around.

Moreover, the fog around her was getting thicker and thicker, as if something was getting closer and wanted to swallow her up.

""Gudong."

After swallowing her saliva, Nino's delicate face was filled with fear.

""Zizi~"

The street lamp above her head made a sound, and some dim lights flickered quickly. Fortunately, the quality of the street lamp was good, and it did not go out after a few flickers.

But the light was a little dim at this time.

Soon Nino came back to her senses, patted her face, and encouraged herself calmly:

"What are you thinking about, Nino? Home is just two blocks away. I don’t know what you are afraid of!"

""Hello? Nino? Are you still listening?"

At this moment, the young man's voice came from the girl's mobile phone.

The young man was Nino's adopted brother. He was fostered in their home when they were young. His name was Nakano Yuu. The dessert in Nino's hand was also prepared for Nakano Yuu and the other four sisters.

""Yeah, I'm here, You."

After replying, Nino looked behind her timidly, making sure there was no one behind her, and then continued to walk towards home.

"Nino, do you really not need me to pick you up?"

Nakano Yuu asked a little worriedly on the other end of the phone, but Nino replied confidently:

"Don't worry, I'm on Ukiyo-e Street right now, not far from home, and I'll be back soon."

"Since you said so, then okay, if you encounter any problems, remember to call my name, and I will definitely rush there as soon as possible!"

After hearing what Nino said, Nakano Yuu didn't hesitate and just said

"Okay, don't worry. By the way, I just bought some sweet rice cakes from Nanatsujiya. I'll bring them home for you to eat. You like them the most."

Nino smiled and nodded. She was no longer afraid while chatting with Nakano You. As she spoke, she picked up the dessert box in her hand.

"OK, OK, come back early, dinner is ready."

"Don't worry, I'll hang up first."

"OK, if you have any questions, remember to call me, and use my full name! Remember!"

"Got it!"

After chatting for a few more words, Nino hung up the phone.

At this moment, the girl's heart was no longer afraid, but happy. At first glance, she looked like a girl in love who had just interacted with her boyfriend.

"Hum~ You will definitely be very happy."

Humming, Nino glanced at the dessert in her hand, and then hurried home.

Thinking of this, she had just taken a few steps when the sound of a bell penetrated the darkness and reached Nino's ears:

"Ding-ling~ Ding-ling~"

The ringing sound came in waves, like a death knell, constantly approaching Nino.

""What, what?"

She stepped back cautiously and took out the electric shock device from her pocket, but her trembling hands showed her fear.

""Meow~"

Just as Nino was staring ahead tremblingly, a calico cat with a bell tied to it suddenly jumped out of the alley. The cat paused for a moment, and its animal eyes shining in the night fog looked at Nino. After a cry, the cat quickly ran away.

Seeing that it was just a cat, Nino breathed a sigh of relief, put away the electric shock device, and patted her chest with her little hands:

""Huh~ Nino, Nino, why are you so timid? You doesn't like timid girls."

After calming down, Nino was about to continue on her way when suddenly a figure rushed out of the alley just now. The figure stumbled out and ran towards Nino without hesitation.

""Ahh!!!"

Because of the fog around her, Nino couldn't see the figure clearly, but her girl's instinct made her scream and turn around to run away.

However, Nino's physical fitness was not good, and the figure ran very fast, as if he was running for his life, and soon caught up with Nino.

"Don't come over here! Don't come over here!"

In panic, Nino grabbed the dessert box and waved it at the black shadow, but it didn't work at all.

"Miss Nakano? Miss Nakano, it's me, Tanji."

Nino was startled when she heard the familiar voice. Her panicked heart gradually calmed down. She opened her eyes that were tightly closed due to fear, but she saw an ordinary-looking girl in front of her.

That girl was Miss Tanji who told them the story of [Shirai] at the storytelling meeting.

"Oh, it's Miss Tanji, I'm so scared."

Seeing that the person coming was a living person, and a girl, Nino thought of her previous reaction, and suddenly felt her cheeks hot, and said with an awkward smile.

But Tanji ignored Nino, and stared at Nino with his lifeless eyes with dark circles and bags under his eyes for a long time. Tanji pointed at himself, then pointed at Nino, and slowly said:

"Next one is you!"

After saying that, Duanji pushed Ernai hard, and rushed into the fog like he was escaping, and gradually disappeared.......
