Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Guishan Elementary School, Science Department.

Before the others arrived on Turtle Rock, Jiaojiao and Yabaiba had already gone to Ghost Mountain Elementary School and found the human specimen Orgu, which was disguised as a human skeleton.

"These kids lately are so arrogant, it's a real headache. The old kids would have been scared away long ago." The human specimen Orug revealed its true form, sighed, and sat down on a bench in the science lab, hands crossed under its chin, saying:

"I can barely keep going like this."

Outside the science lab, Jiaojiao and Yabaiba looked through the window at the groaning human specimen, Orugu.

"Is that the human specimen Orgu? It doesn't look reliable at all. Can this guy really handle the Gaoranger?" Ababa asked doubtfully.

"There's no other way, we'll just have to make do." Jiaojiao pulled Abaiba into the science lab.

Hearing the commotion outside the door, the human specimen Orug quickly turned around. Upon seeing the single horn on Horned Abyba's head, Orug exclaimed in astonishment, "A horn?! Is it the Duke?"

"Human specimen Orug, if you can help us deal with certain people, we can get Lord Wenluo to give you some unexpected benefits." Jiaojiao walked up to the human specimen Orug and said in a tempting tone.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, don't underestimate our Duke Orgu," Abaiba said.

Just as Jiaojiao was about to say something, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Turtle Rock flying past the window out of the corner of her eye.

"That is..."

"The Gaborists?! How did they get here so quickly?" Abaiba recognized Kameyan and exclaimed in surprise.

As he spoke, Abaiba turned to look at Horn and asked, "Horn, are you leaving?"

"No, let the human specimen Orugu try it." Corner shook her head, then looked at the human specimen Orugu and asked, "Human specimen Orugu, what abilities do you have?"

"Abilities? Does being good at scaring people count?" Orgu, the human specimen, scratched his head and asked.

He can disguise himself as a human skeleton specimen and then create frightening noises and hallucinations.

"Scare people? What's the point of that?" Abaiba said speechlessly.

"No, it might work." Kakuga watched as the Gaorenz entered the school and split into three groups, and a plan suddenly came to mind.

……

"Da da da".

Footsteps echoed through the dark, silent teaching building.

"It's so creepy." Tidom looked at the school building, which was so quiet it made him feel uneasy, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

Tidom, who was no longer excited at the beginning, nervously grabbed Shen Yun's clothes and hid behind Shen Yun, closely following him, his eyes darting around as if afraid that something might jump out of the darkness.

"Ugh~ I didn't expect the school to be so scary after it got quiet. Are we really going to encounter something weird?" Taiga Sae imitated Shen Yun, tightly gripping the other side of Shen Yun's clothes, hiding half her body behind Shen Yun, and peeking out at the classroom in the teaching building, saying fearfully.

"No, even if there is any movement, it can only be Orgu," Shen Yun comforted him.

"I hope so."

As they talked, the three of them took a stroll around the first floor of the teaching building.

After finding nothing unusual, Shen Yun led the two to the stairs of the teaching building, intending to go to the second floor to take a look.

Before Shen Yun could even step onto the stairs, Sae Oogawa tugged at his sleeve and said, "Professor, wait a minute!"

"What's wrong?" Shen Yun lowered his head slightly, looking at Sae Taiga, and asked.

"Let's count the steps first."

"?"

"Counting steps? Why?" Tidom asked, puzzled.

"Because it's one of the seven mysteries circulating on campus," Sae Taiga explained.

"The Seven Mysteries of the Campus? What the heck?" Tidom, an ancient person from a thousand years ago, had no idea about this strange tale that had been circulating on campus for many years.

"Hmm... these are the supernatural events that are widely circulated in the school, such as Hanako in the toilet, the piano that plays by itself in the music room, the sound of a ball bouncing in the empty gymnasium, the moving anatomical models in the science classroom, the biology classroom that can't be opened, the extra thirteen steps, and the Beethoven portrait with moving eyes." Taiga Sae explained, counting on her fingers.

"Really? Is school that dangerous at night?" Tidom shuddered upon hearing this, his expression flustered. He moved closer to Shen Yun, then turned to Taiga Sae and asked, "White, what happens if we step on the extra thirteen flights of stairs?"

"It is said that those who climb the thirteenth floor will be trapped in the stairwell forever," Sae Taiga said quietly.

"Huh? Could something like this really happen?" Tidom exclaimed in surprise.

"..."

Inside the quiet teaching building.

Although Sae Taiga and Tidom spoke softly, their voices were exceptionally clear in the quiet environment.

"Human specimen Orugu, did you hear that? One of the Seven Wonders of the Campus," Abaiba asked in a low voice.

"I heard you." The human specimen Orug nodded as well.

"Just do as they say, understand?"

"No problem, watch me!" The human specimen Orgu suddenly had will-o'-the-wisps rising all over its body. One of them quietly landed on the portrait of Beethoven hanging in the corridor, while the other landed on the stairs leading to the third floor, transforming into an extra step.

downstairs.

Shen Yun waited with amusement as Taiga Sae and Tidom finished counting the steps.

"Alright, let's go up." Shen Yun climbed the steps.

Tidom and Sae Taiga quickly followed.

Upon arriving on the second floor, one is immediately struck by rows of portraits of famous people hanging on the walls.

It wouldn't be a big deal during the day, but in the dark and silent environment, these portraits of celebrities look rather eerie, with pairs of eyes seemingly watching them from the shadows, giving one the creeps.

"I have a feeling that these portraits are watching us," Tidom said, looking at the portraits hanging on the wall and instinctively leaning closer to Shen Yun.

"I feel the same way," Sae Taiga nodded repeatedly, her voice filled with fear.

"Don't scare yourself." Shen Yun, squeezed between the two, said with a mix of amusement and exasperation.

"These are just portraits, how could they possibly be watching us..."

Before Shen Yun could finish speaking, Sae Taiga and Tidom suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"B-Doctor, the eyes! The eyes in the portrait are moving!" Sai Taiga said, pointing to the portrait of Beethoven.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun also turned to look at the portrait of Beethoven hanging on the wall.

In the portrait, Beethoven's eyes are indeed following their movements.

Not only that, but the eyes of the other portraits were also looking towards them, which was extremely terrifying.

"Aaaaah!" Tidom and Sae Taiga screamed, grabbing Shen Yun's clothes in fear and hiding behind him, burying their faces in his back.

"Playing tricks." Shen Yun's face darkened, and he raised his hand and punched the portrait in front of him.

"Bang!"

The wall shook with a muffled thud, and small pieces of plaster fell from the ceiling.

A faint fist mark has now appeared on the Beethoven portrait hanging on the wall.

After being punched, the portraits of celebrities hanging on the wall returned to normal.

"Alright, it's all over now." Shen Yun patted Tidom and Sae Oogawa on the head and said.

Upon hearing this, the two cautiously peeked out from behind Shen Yun, revealing half of their faces, to look at the portrait of the celebrity in front of them.

The portraits of celebrities remain the same, but they no longer have that eerie feeling.

"Shen Jun, should we continue searching?" Tidom asked, his voice trembling slightly as he looked away.

"How about we come during the day?" Taiga Sae suggested tentatively.

They were genuinely terrified; the portrait's eyes were all staring at them—it was truly horrifying.

"Don't worry, this is definitely Orgu's doing. It's probably trying to scare us away this way," Shen Yun reassured him.

"Okay, alright."

Sae Taiga and Tidhomme exchanged a glance, and finally agreed.

The three turned to look at the staircase leading to the third floor. As Sae Taiga looked at the stairs, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"It seems like there's an extra step on the stairs?"

"An extra level? Really?" Tidom was startled and quickly started counting.

"One, two, three... twelve, thirteen?"

"Thirteen?!"

"Wow! The thirteen-story staircase...it really is here!"

Sae Taiga and Tidom both let out low gasps of surprise.

"Shen-kun, what should we do?" Tidom and Sae both looked up at Shen Yun, waiting for him to make a decision.

"So, the portrait didn't scare us away, so you're going to use the thirteenth floor?" Shen Yun gently patted the back of their hands, signaling them to loosen their clothes, and said, "You wait here, I'll go up and see if this thirteenth floor can trap me."

However, instead of letting go, Tidom and Sae Taiga tightened their grip even more.

"Let's go up together," Tidom said.

"Yes, even if there are any problems, it's always better for three people to be together than one," Taiga Sae nodded in agreement.

"Okay." Shen Yun smiled and walked up the stairs with Tidom and Sae Oga.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the thirteenth step.

After exchanging glances, the three of them stepped onto the steps and crossed the thirteenth floor together.

But nothing happened.

When they looked back, the original thirteen steps had returned to twelve.

"Phew~ I was completely fooled by Orgu! I'll never let it get away with this!" Taiga Sae breathed a sigh of relief, then said angrily.

"That's right, we must teach it a lesson!" Tidom clenched his fist and said angrily.

"Heh~" Shen Yun chuckled softly and said, "That Orgu shouldn't have gone far. Let's go up and look for it."

"Um!"

……

the other side.

Samezu Kai and Ushitatsu Sotaro arrived near the club activity room, searching for Orgu's whereabouts.

In the quiet teaching building, only their breathing could be heard.

"Thump!"

A piano melody echoed through the quiet school building.

Samezu Kai and Ushitatsu Sotaro were startled by the sudden sound of piano music.

"Black, did you...did you hear that?" Samezu Kai patted Ushida Sotaro on the shoulder and stammered.

"I...I heard it. It sounds like a piano. And it's right in front of me," Ushida Sotaro said, swallowing hard.

"Shall we go take a look?" Samezu Kai asked.

Ushida Sotaro was silent for a moment, then said with difficulty, "Go...go ahead, but what if...what if it's Oruk playing the piano?"

"Yes, yes." Samezu Kai nodded.

The two walked cautiously toward the direction from which the piano music was coming.

Soon, the two arrived at the music classroom with its doors wide open.

By the moonlight, the two saw the sign for the music classroom hanging on the door, and their faces immediately turned pale.

"A music classroom? Could it be..." Samezu Kai said with difficulty.

"Seven Unbelievable Things About Campus!"

The two exchanged a glance and saw the reluctance in each other's eyes, but they gritted their teeth and approached the door of the music classroom to look inside.

The music classroom was empty, but the piano keys suddenly sank in, and then a series of clear piano sounds came out, as if something unseen was sitting in front of the piano and playing it.

"It really is a ghost!"

Upon seeing this, the two were so frightened that their hands and feet went cold. They let out a terrified scream and scrambled away from the scene.

……

Inside the teaching building.

Shishigami and Washio-dake searched for Oruk's whereabouts and eventually arrived outside the Science Building.

"Red, did you hear anything?" Washio Takeru faintly heard screams and couldn't help but ask.

"A sound? What sound?" the lion asked, puzzled.

"No? Looks like it was just my imagination." Washio Gaku shrugged, looking up at the sign for the Science Lab, and said, "I never thought I'd actually come here after just telling you about the Science Lab's strange tales. Do you think the human specimens in this Science Lab might actually come to life?"

Shishi didn't respond to Washio Takeshi's question. Instead, he stared blankly at the science lab, then suddenly turned and smiled at him before jumping down from the shelf to start working on the human specimens.

"What's wrong?" Washio asked, puzzled, seeing Shishizo's stunned expression.

"Human, human specimen!" Lion exclaimed in horror, pointing at the moving skeleton in the science lab.

"A human specimen?" Washio Gaku turned around in confusion, only to find himself face to face with the human specimen.

"Crackling sounds".

The human specimen's mouth opens and closes as if it's laughing.

"Ahhh!" Upon seeing the human specimen so close to him, Washio Gaku's pupils shrank, and his face showed horror. Without thinking, he punched the human specimen in the forehead, sending it flying backward and crashing into the science room.

"Run!" Washio Gaku realized what was happening, grabbed the still-stunned lion, and ran quickly outside.

Outside the teaching building.

Washio Takeshi, Shishigaki, Samezu Kai, and Ushitatsu Sotaro met on the playground. Both were panting, and their eyes still held a hint of shock and relief.

"You encountered them too?" After exchanging a glance, the two asked in unison.

"Music Room"

"Human specimen".

"What's going on with this school? There are actually these strange tales." Washio Gaku was still shaken.

After the lion left, he belatedly realized, "No, it probably wasn't a real ghost story. It was likely Orug from the school playing tricks, trying to scare us away this way." (End of Chapter)
