Living in Tokyo, all I want to do is laze around.

"I am back."

Kai Uesugi spoke loudly because he secretly hoped that a soft, warm voice would reach his ears.

###Chapter 376 A Trip to Fuji-Q Highland###

The atmosphere around them was tense to the extreme, and even Uesugi Kai subconsciously held his breath.

He slowly pushed open the only iron door at the end of the corridor.

Inside, there was still a passage... The passage had a 90° turn, and a faint green light was emanating from the other side of the turn, while the whole place was dark.

Of the three girls, only Kyuu Rika maintained a relatively positive attitude despite the darkness.

Uesugi Kai led the way up the dimly lit corridor, the four of them walking slowly, one in front of the other...

Just then, the lights suddenly started flashing wildly, a strange mix of red and green, accompanied by the crackling sound of burning electricity.

Hanabi Hanamaru immediately closed her eyes, while Kitagawa Sakakisa nervously looked around and hugged Kyuuji Rika tightly around the waist.

When Uesugi Kai turned around, he noticed a long strand of hair hanging on the ventilation duct.

......

This is indeed a bit scary...

Kai Uesugi admitted that the haunted house was incredibly realistic, and even though he knew it was all fake... he still couldn't help but feel afraid of these strange things when he was surrounded by darkness.

The constantly flashing bright lights alone are annoying... not to mention those faintly visible things...

"Come on."

Uesugi Kai chose to lead the group through the area quickly.

"Are you alright?"

Hanabi Hanabi shrank her neck, closed her eyes, shook her head, and simply held him tightly with her hands.

After spending half an hour scouting the way... I finally found Dr. Fujiko's office...

Kai Uesugi pushed open the door and went inside.

"This place has a great atmosphere." Rika Kuju used Kai Uesugi's flashlight to examine the documents scattered on the floor.

Some of the documents were burned, while others were soaked in blood...

The room's furnishings were a chaotic mess, as if someone had gone mad there...

"Uesugi... what's that?"

When Uesugi Kai shone his flashlight upwards, he discovered a female nurse who had been hanged. She had no legs, her hair was disheveled, and she was facing away from the four people, quietly wandering in the small room.

Hanabi Hanabi suddenly pounced on Kai Uesugi, burying her face in his chest.

Uesugi Kai was then able to naturally embrace Hanabi Hanamaru...

The girl's body was warm, and her hands felt soft and relaxing.

That's the good thing about haunted houses.

It was worth the ticket price.

Thank you, female ghost.

.....

The quiet room was completely dark, with only a flashlight as the sole source of light for the four people. However, the light would often illuminate parts of the female nurse's body in the middle, always reminding them of her pitiful appearance.

It's difficult to find things in such an environment.

Kai Uesugi stood at the door to take care of the two frightened girls, while Rika Kuju took a flashlight and searched through the collapsed bookshelf for Dr. Fujiko's mirror.

She searched area by area in the darkness, but saw nothing related to the mirror.

I found a photograph on a dusty stool.

The photo is quite old, framed in wood, and shows a young woman wearing glasses and a young boy. The woman's right hand is resting on the boy's hand, and both of them are smiling at the camera.

Judging from their somewhat similar appearances, it's not hard to tell that the two are mother and son.

Rika recognized the person in the photo as Dr. Fujiko from the previous introductory video. She flipped the photo over, and several abrupt, distorted, blood-red characters suddenly appeared. She stood there stunned for a long time.

A life for a life, blood for blood.

"Did you find it?" Uesugi Kai asked, standing at the door.

“No,” Kyushu Rika replied, looking at the photo frame again, “I only found this photo.”

"...Is there anything special about it? Maybe it's a plot clue or prop," Uesugi Kai continued.

"...Wait a moment."

Jiushi Lixiang noticed a clasp on the picture frame, and she slid it down with her finger...

The picture frame broke apart, and the photo fell to the ground.

She picked up the photo, glanced at the happy mother and child in it, and then turned it over.

A note was written on the back of the photo:

The surgery was a success! Thank you, my dearest mom!

——February 23]

Rika Kujo got up and showed the photo to Kai Uesugi.

Kai Uesugi looked up from the photo. "Is there anything else inside?"

“That’s all,” Jiuzhi Lixiang replied.

After thinking for a moment, Uesugi Kai said, "That small mirror was a gift from Dr. Fujiko's son... In this photo, Dr. Fujiko is wearing a white coat as a surgeon..."

"The photo...is most likely from the day the gift was given?"

"Yes."

"Since it was a gift from my son, he should carry it with him or keep it in his office, but I didn't find any mirrors or similar items in his office, nor in his drawers..."

Just as the two were pondering, Hanamaru Hanabi interjected in a weak voice:

"Could it be in the operating room...? Ms. Fujiko is a surgeon..."

Kyushu Rika thought for a moment and said, "That's possible."

Kitagawa Sakakisa: "But...but we can't be sure it's in the operating room..."

Kai Uesugi: "Since the entire room has only one clue: 'surgery,' from the designer's perspective, it's meant to guide us to the operating room."

"Ah... do we really have to go to the operating room...?"

"Just think of everything as fake."

......

For the sake of relative cleanliness, most operating rooms are located on the top floor.

I boarded the creaking, old elevator.

It took the four of them about ten minutes to get from the third floor to the top floor.

The style here was vastly different from before, predominantly scarlet, with medical equipment overturned along the corridor. The four of them cautiously approached the operating room, and upon pushing open the door, the dense, bloody handprints covering the walls and floor sent chills down their spines...

I could faintly smell a foul, rusty odor.

The furnishings in this haunted house are way too realistic.

Uesugi Kai had no choice but to leave the three of them outside while she went inside to find her target.

Although I wasn't particularly scared, the eerie layout all around and the only light source was a flashlight, so being there still made me a little nervous.

Uesugi Kai used a flashlight to search for Dr. Fujiko's mirror in the operating room. The floor was covered with bloody handprints, some of which had scratched the floor.

Just then, Uesugi Kai heard the sound of something falling.

Uesugi Kai shone his flashlight and saw a male doctor with a charred face standing very close to him, his heels almost touching his own.

......

Kai Uesugi squatted on the ground and looked up at him.

The male doctor also looked down at Uesugi Kai.

......

The two pairs of eyes stared at each other.

......

"Giggle giggle giggle..."

Suddenly, the male doctor's jaw started trembling and his teeth were chattering. Just as Uesugi Kai was wondering how he did it, the doctor clutched his head and rushed into the darkness like a madman.

Kai Uesugi tilted his head slightly, his face expressionless.

So dedicated...

Hanabi Hanamaru, who was outside the operating room, heard the noise and asked him if something had happened.

Kai Uesugi replied that it was nothing and continued looking for a mirror.

After some searching, they even saw a severed limb half-covered by a green cloth on the operating table. Below it, Uesugi Kai found a broken small mirror.

The mirror was covered in dust.

But once you get this, you can redeem a reward from the staff.

Kai Uesugi walked out of the operating room.

Hanabi Hanabi hesitated to look inside. "Has Kai-kun been found?"

“Found it.” Uesugi Kai held a small mirror in his right hand.

Kitagawa Sakakisa no longer wanted to stay in this place. While waiting for Uesugi Kai, she saw white shadows flash across the ceiling several times. This haunted house doesn't really use ghosts to scare people, but it constantly relies on its layout to put pressure on the players.

"Now that we've found them, let's get out of here quickly..."

Jiu Shi Li Xiang laughed at her: "Weren't you the most excited when you came in?"
