Tokyo: I was tricked into marrying a yandere ghost

The temperature inside the haunted house seemed to drop several degrees. This time, not only the two female college students, but even Kiyokawa Kiri felt a chill all over her body.

His heart sank to the bottom, knowing that if this continued, the situation would likely become even more complicated.

"Didn't find any clues?" Eri Motokawa huddled with her friend, shivering. "The air conditioning in this room is so cold, and the clues are harder to find than in the previous rooms. What do we do now?"

What should I do?

Tomie Kawakami frowned and glanced at them.

Although this temperature wouldn't cause her too much harm, it would still make her uncomfortable.

Furthermore, Tomie Kawakami lacks knowledge of paranormal phenomena; her understanding is limited to what she gleaned from books when she was bored. Especially when faced with such methods from foreign folklore, she can only place her hopes on Kiyokawa Kiri.

Fortunately, after a moment of contemplation, the latter came up with a solution.

You guys started this... If anything happens, I won't be responsible.

Kiyokawa took a deep breath, picked up the small bronze mirror, and then smiled casually, saying, "It seems this room is the core mission room in the haunted house. I can't find any clues either..."

"Hey, what should we do? We can't get out now."

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of an interesting game." Kiyokawa Kiri shook the small bronze mirror in his hand and said with a friendly expression, "Have you ever heard of... Bloody Mary and Midnight Hair Combing?"

"..."

The two female college students looked at each other in bewilderment.

Even the usually composed Tomie Kawakami's eyelids twitched slightly.

When you first came in, you said you didn't want to play these dangerous and supernatural games, but now you want to play the two most extreme ones?

Clearly, things have developed to the point where even Kiyokawa Kiri finds it troublesome. However, both he and Kawakami Tomie possess a high level of "inspiration," so their chances of success in playing this game are quite high.

Since we can't get out, and we know someone is behind this, things become much simpler.

—Everyone can communicate with spirits. At worst, we can try out all the games we know and see who can summon the most ruthless spirit!

This is what is known as raising poisonous insects...

In terms of knowledge in this area, Kiyokawa Mist is no less skilled than other self-taught sorcerers.

Thanks to his mermaid identity, combined with the horror movies and psychic games he had watched in his previous life, even though he is now trapped in this limited space, he can still perform at least three kinds of psychic games.

Bloody Mary, Ouija Board, Four Corners Game, Midnight Hair Combing...

These are all heavyweight psychic games.

Although many of these are used for divination and changing one's luck, according to the rules of the supernatural, as long as one can afford the price, one can command the summoned "spirits" to do things for oneself.

Even if we take a step back and assume we can't solve the problem, we can still find a way to leave this room.

"Playing this kind of scary game in a haunted house?" Eri Motokawa swallowed hard and asked timidly, "Are you sure this will help us find a way out?"

"It's just a trial. After all, we can't get out anytime soon, and playing this kind of game in a haunted house is more atmospheric." Kiyokawa Kiri comforted the other person with a few words. He and Kawakami Tomie were the ones who organized the spirit communication game.

According to the rules, as long as he and Kawakami Tomie can afford the price, the two female college students will be fine.

As for the price, he had already thought it through...

[Use your blood. Mermaid blood has a great attraction to ghost stories. As long as you control the amount, you can temporarily control them... That idiot sorcerer's skills are limited. If you summon a few more evil spirits, he will be devoured.]

The word "Omi" kept reminding him in his mind.

Using the experience of this ghost story that has lived for who knows how many years, Kiyokawa Kiri began to set up a spirit summoning game.

The first choice is naturally Bloody Mary. Although the psychic scene requires a dark bathroom, there aren't many conditions that can be met right now—we can only use the mirror in the assistant's room and a few burning candles.

Use their own methods against them...

Kiyokawa Kiri placed the mirror in the middle of the operating table, then gestured for the three women to stand against the wall before moving a few burning candles in front of her.

He took a deep breath and made the final preparations.

"Are we just going to stand by and watch?" Honkawa Eri looked at Kiyokawa Kiri, who was acting strangely, and couldn't help but shrink back.

Tomie Kawakami calmly said, "It's alright, just keep an eye on it... He's just trying, he might not succeed."

It's not guaranteed to succeed?

The two female college students exchanged a glance, both feeling a little uneasy.

Kiyokawa looked so serious that she seemed genuinely interested—this was the first time they had ever seen someone play this kind of spirit communication game in a haunted house. What was the difference between this and watching a horror movie in a morgue?

Fortunately, Tomie Kawakami's words of comfort reassured them somewhat.

"If I fail, I'll take the mirror..."

Tomie Kawakami whispered a few words to Kiyokawa Kiri's retreating figure.

Bloody Mary's main function is to see one's future partner, and there is also a chance to see extremely terrifying scenes—but in one version of the legend, there is also a claim that she can grant the summoner's wishes. According to the idea that psychic games are given characteristics by people, Kiyokawa Kiri should also be able to get the other party to help grant wishes.

But the harm caused by this kind of game is clearly much greater than that of the "Crossroads Spirit Summoning Ritual"...

It's easy to go crazy without realizing it and develop serious doubts about your self-image in the mirror.

Tomie Kawakami wasn't sure if Kiyokawa Kiri was up to the task. She actually wanted to take Kiyokawa Kiri's place, since she wouldn't die—but she didn't know about Bloody Mary's spirit communication ritual, so she could only stand by and watch out for any accidents that might happen to Kiyokawa Kiri.

"I'm about to begin..."

Kiyokawa Kiri looked at the small bronze mirror on the operating table and cleared her mind following the method taught by Omi Kin in her mind.

Then, in a low voice, he said, "Bloody Mary...Bloody Mary..."

As he spoke, he raised his left thumb and bit a small gash in it with his teeth.

Because they were facing away from the three women, apart from Kawakami Tomie who noticed something amiss from the faint smell of blood, the other two did not notice anything unusual. They simply watched Kiyokawa Kiri raise her finger to her lips and then press it against the small bronze mirror.

From their perspective, Kiyokawa Kiri was simply using her thumb to repeatedly smear something on the mirror surface.

Is the so-called psychic game really that simple?

They were immediately confused, but Kiyokawa Kiri, who was in the process of communicating with the spirit, silently used the blood flowing from her thumb to draw several "Bloody Mary" in English on the mirror.
