Tokyo: I was tricked into marrying a yandere ghost

After being thoroughly berated by their team leader, the group of underlings walked out of the dance hall dejectedly.

Their ending was actually quite good. If it had happened a few years ago, they would have had to cut off their little fingers to apologize to the team leader, since the leader was seriously injured and lying in the hospital. Apart from the stronger man among them, the other two were almost unharmed.

However, the group was quite resentful for not being able to complete the task assigned by the team leader, and they complained about it from time to time on the way.

The rather short man with a buzz cut kicked a soda can on the roadside, saying resentfully:

"Are you kidding me? It's all that Kawamata Kyuya's fault. Once we find him, we'll knock all his teeth out. What a bastard..."

"There's no point in saying this now; that guy Kawamata might have already left Tokyo."

"I don't know what he did to offend the team leader, and the foreman won't say anything either. Where are we supposed to find him now?"

The three of them were filled with rage at the mention of the incident, but they no longer had any intention of seeking revenge.

After all, when you're out in the game, you're afraid of someone tougher than yourself, and even if you're tough, you're afraid of someone who doesn't care about their life—clearly, Kiyokawa Kiri was that kind of guy who was both tough and didn't care about his life, and even after being beaten up like that, he still had the strength to fight back.

The group was still shaken and didn't know where to go as they walked on the empty streets. So they decided to visit Ruotou in the hospital first and then discuss what to do next.

So the three of them quickly changed direction, intending to take the subway from the other end.

It was already late at night, and there were hardly any people on the streets of Tokyo. Even the drunkards who usually lay unconscious on the roadside were nowhere to be seen. The entire street was quiet, as if lifeless.

None of the three noticed anything amiss, continuing to swear in a rolled "r" tone the whole way. Until they had walked for a long time and still hadn't reached the subway station, the short, buzz-cut man suddenly stopped and said with a look of surprise and uncertainty:

"Wait a minute, didn't we already walk this road once?"

"Okada, have you lost your mind?" The person following beside him grew impatient and snapped, "Isn't the subway just around the corner?"

"No, no, no, isn't that the pinball shop next door that recently went out of business?"

The man with the buzz cut stared in disbelief at the shop next door that was already closed.

The remaining two then realized that they were still quite a distance from the subway.

The air fell silent instantly. The three of them looked at each other, clearly confused as to how they had ended up back in the same spot.

They kept walking straight downhill without turning any corners, so how did they end up coming back?

The burly man's broken wrist began to sting, and his face turned pale. He said in a low voice, "Let's walk a little further and see."

He was considered relatively knowledgeable among the group, having heard of urban legends about getting lost at night intersections. After all, Japanese horror films were abundant in the 1990s, and many supernatural horror movies came from that era.

He just happened to have nothing to do most of the time, so he liked to rent movies to pass the time.

The surroundings were so quiet that it seemed as if only their breathing could be heard, which made him instantly realize that something was wrong.

However, the three walked for a long time, and the dim streetlights in the distance seemed to maintain the same distance from them. When they returned to the pinball shop, their faces turned deathly pale.

"Hey, what's going on here...?"

The man with the buzz cut was trembling slightly.

It was so quiet around them. Even though it was late at night, it shouldn't be this quiet. They had been walking for at least half an hour and hadn't seen a single passerby or car.

This time, even the burly man felt a pang of panic. He opened his mouth and said in a dry voice:

"Maybe... I've encountered a ghost?"

"..."

The remaining two people's breathing quickened instantly, and they stood rooted to the spot, no longer daring to move forward.

Getting lost is actually quite common in many Japanese horror stories. After all, Japan is very close to China, and the concept of "being trapped in a maze" is still popular in Japan, and has even evolved into its own superstitious beliefs.

When you encounter a situation where you can't seem to find your way out of the same place, it's like your body has died, and only your lost soul is wandering around.

The group of people were all quite old, and they were exactly the age when Japanese horror stories were most popular.

Therefore, they easily recalled this superstitious saying and immediately panicked.

"Hey, Sano, stop joking... How did this happen out of the blue?"

"How would I know?"

Just as the man with the buzz cut was about to start arguing with the burly man due to excessive tension, the remaining person who had remained silent suddenly said tremblingly, "Hey, isn't there a little kid standing over there?"

The argument stopped abruptly, and the three of them looked at the child standing under the streetlight in the distance. The child looked to be only seven or eight years old, but his face was pale, the color of a corpse. Most terrifyingly, he had no eyes, only two empty, dark eye sockets.

The other person stood quietly under the streetlight, watching them.

All three men's hearts skipped a beat. The man with the buzz cut reacted the most violently, his legs buckled and he knelt on the ground, feeling as if his heart was about to jump out of his body. He was so frightened that he almost died on the spot.

In the dead of night, on a deserted street, they discovered a little boy exuding an eerie aura...

It's obvious that something's not right!

"Are you kidding me?"

The burly man's face twitched slightly, but before he could react, the strange little boy's lips suddenly twitched, revealing a smile that was even uglier than crying.

"Hey, Sano, he's coming over?!"

The man with the buzz cut's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively shouted.

However, the next moment, that extremely strange little boy appeared in front of them.

......

......

Meanwhile, at a hospital in Shinjuku Ward.

The nurse at the inpatient department reception desk had just finished her rounds and stretched before heading back to the front desk to make herself some instant noodles and relax.

However, as she passed the fire escape, she heard a faint "meow" sound and froze on the spot.

"Where did this cat come from?"

The nurse was a little confused, but considering that it was not convenient for pets to come into the ward, she carefully opened the fire exit and planned to chase away the cat that had sneaked in.

However, when she opened it, she found that there was nothing in the passage.

"Strange, did I hear that right?"

The nurse was a little confused, but she eventually closed the door.

What she didn't notice was that a silhouette, almost blending into the shadows, slipped into the inpatient ward from beside her feet...
