Horror simulator, if you survive till tomorrow, you win

"That's right, it's just a trick. If you hid the notebook instead of throwing it at me, I would have believed it."

"He actually praised himself for being handsome in his notebook! How shameless!"

"To be honest, he is really handsome."

A few seconds later, someone laughed disdainfully. The discussions and struggles did not make Ogino Hikaru feel relaxed. Some of the unread words made him feel a chill through his pores.

"They humiliated me with vicious words. They were born to stand at the end of others, these natural predators who took away all happiness and looked down on ordinary people who were oppressed. I want to make them feel my anger and pain... starting with Ogino Hikaru..."

Ogino Hikaru's lower abdomen began to feel cold and sweat broke out on his scalp. Everyone fell silent again. The room was like an empty valley, echoing with Ogino Hikaru's voice.

Ogino Mitsuru raised his head with forced calmness, his eyes falling on the gray wall, and suddenly he had a strong urge to vomit, slowly rising up his esophagus.

"What kind of plane are you doing?"

The congressman's son kicked forward with force. The table shook due to the impact, and the wine glass fell over, with the wine flowing down the table to the tatami.

"Is this Ito's prediction? It's quite interesting."

"What's the point? What kind of crap did Ito do?"

Some people laughed, while others said unhappily that the contents of the notebook irritated most people.

"Disappointment!"

Ogino Hikaru came to his senses and tore up the notebook with a cold face.

He had just lent Ito Jun some money, but was disgusted by Ito Jun, which made him feel very annoyed.

Moreover, he always had a feeling that he was being stared at by something, and the strange and weird feeling made him feel creepy.

Because of this incident, the party ended quickly. As the saying goes, they came with high hopes but left with low hopes.

In the apartment where he lives alone, Ogino Hikaru walked out of the elevator, walked hurriedly to the door, took out the key and opened it.

“Crack, crack, crack…!”

Ogino Hikaru's right hand was shaking. He tried to open the door several times but failed. He couldn't help but look towards the elevator.

The elevator door has not closed yet, and there is nothing in the empty elevator room.

It seemed like that, but when going upstairs, Ogino Hikaru always felt that something was following him, and the uneasy mood affected his body.

"idiot!"

Failures again and again enraged Mitsuru Ogino. He kicked the door hard and then tried to unlock it again. This time the key went in smoothly and opened the door lock.

The moment he opened the door lock, Ogino Hikaru smiled, and at that moment, the lights in the corridor suddenly went out.

Ogino Hikaru subconsciously looked back and saw a woman standing there silently in the dim corridor.

Ogino Hikaru's mind went blank and his body trembled with fear.

"Ahhhh——!"

Ogino Hikaru couldn't help but let out a scream. The lights in the corridor came on, and the woman's figure disappeared like snow melting under the sun.

Ogino Hikaru was stunned for a moment. Unable to understand the situation, he immediately opened the door, rushed into the entrance, and closed the door behind him. The heavy sound of the door closing echoed throughout the entire apartment.

If it were any other time, such a loud noise would definitely cause dissatisfaction among other residents.

However, today there was no response, as if the building was empty.

"Ahem! Ahem!"

Ogino Mitsuru leaned against the door and slid down to sit on the floor of the entrance hall. He started coughing uncontrollably. After a long while, he finally recovered.

It was dark in front of the entrance. Although there was moonlight shining in from the window, that little light could not bring a sense of security.

Ogino Hikaru stood up with the help of the wall, groped on the wall with his hand, and turned on the light.

"...!"

Ogino Hikaru's pupils shrank and he leaned back suddenly, his back hitting the door with a heavy sound.

How could the room under the light be the apartment he bought? It was clearly the house Ito Jun rented. The living room had not been cleaned and there were still leftover dishes and leftovers.

The only difference from when I left is the notebook.

The torn notebook was placed intact on the clean tatami.

Chapter 21: Palace Master

Ogino Mitsuru's face was filled with horror. He quickly turned around and opened the door.

The lights in the corridor outside the door were still on, and a glimmer of hope appeared in Ogino Hikaru's eyes.

However, the moment I rushed out of the entrance, the light of hope disappeared.

When I walked out of the door, I arrived not at a corridor but at another room - a bedroom with a closet and a bed.

“Giggle, giggle, giggle, giggle——!!!”

A strange sound sounded.

"who is it!"

Ogino Hikaru shouted bravely.

There was no response, only the sound squeezed from the throat echoing in the bedroom.

The extreme feeling of fear made Ogino Hikaru feel like urinating, and his crotch gradually became wet.

Trembling with fear, Hikaru Ogino looked around fearfully. Finally, his eyes settled on the closet door.

Yes, that strange noise was indeed coming from the closet.

He suddenly thought of something, the contents of the notebook, Kayako's body was in the space above the closet.

Ogino Hikaru's face was distorted, his heavy breathing caused his heart to beat heavily and quickly, and he felt his body paralyzed.

"what!!!"

The sliding door of the closet gradually opened, and Ogino Hikaru shouted and rushed over, blocking the door with all his strength.

The door was still opening, and Ogino Hikaru tried his best to close it. The sliding door was shaking violently, and it would not be surprising if it collapsed at any time.

After an unknown amount of time, the power coming from inside disappeared, the closet door stopped moving, and Ogino Hikaru's body relaxed, and he slid weakly to the ground and sat down.

Is everything alright? It must be alright!

Ogino Hikaru panted rapidly, and with a hopeful thought in his heart, he collapsed outside the closet door.

The moonlight shines in from the window, and the bright light has a holy beauty.

Ogino Hikaru gradually felt relieved. He turned his head and looked at the night sky outside the window.

The corner of his eye felt a little itchy, as if something had touched it. Ogino Hikaru tilted his head, and felt a strange sensation on the other side of his head again.

"...!"

Ogino Hikaru opened his mouth, and his trembling pupils told of his fear. His black hair hung down from above, rubbing against Ogino Hikaru's skin, and like a snake, slowly crawling towards his eyes.

Ogino Hikaru wanted to escape. He tried desperately to drive his body, but his paralyzed body was no longer under the control of his brain. Along with the itchy and swollen touch, strands of hair drilled into Ogino Hikaru's eye sockets.

“It hurts, ahh ...…!”

The itching and swelling gradually turned into pain. The hair sticking out of his ears made Ogino Hikaru feel heart-wrenching pain, so painful that he wanted to end his own life.

"Zizi..."

A creepy sound rang out in Ogino Hikaru's brain, it was the sound of a hard object being cut by something sharper.

Ogino Hikaru's face gradually collapsed, and blood overflowed from the cracks. There was red, white, and black in it, three colors mixed together. When the black hair cut Ogino Hikaru's face, brain matter and blood splashed out from the crack between the eye sockets and the ears.

Ogino Hikaru's body fell forward, his black hair rose up, and the woman lying on the ceiling showed a twisted smile, her pale face full of joy and satisfaction.

After Ito Jun withdrew money from the bank, he took a taxi to the shrine.

The shrine that Mariko introduced to him was quite large. Although he had never heard of it before, a less famous shrine might not necessarily be without significance.

The combination of Junji Ito and the worldview of Japanese horror films, if it becomes famous and many guests are possessed by evil spirits, there is no telling when the whole company might be wiped out.

Walking quickly up the stone steps and approaching the red torii gate, Ito Jun's expression suddenly changed.

Under the shade of a tree not far away, there was a naked little boy squatting. His pale skin was particularly conspicuous in the shadow, and his dark pupils were staring at Ito Jun.

There is no need to explain the familiar look, it is obviously Toshio Saeki.

"Meow--!"

Toshio Saeki opened his mouth and let out a shrill cat cry. Ito Jun couldn't help but tremble in his legs and instinctively ran towards the torii.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening and there were not many outsiders in the shrine. A priest saw Ito Jun coming in a hurry and hurried over to greet him.

Ito Jun stopped and looked back outside. Saeki Toshio was still standing at the edge of the shadow without any movement.

"I'm Ito. I greeted you this afternoon."

Turning back, Ito Jun spoke.

"Please wait a moment. I will go and call the chief priest."

The priest understood and asked Ito Jun to wash his hands in the handwashing room, then left in a hurry.

Ito Jun put the cloth bag containing the money aside and washed his hands. Then he saw the chief priest walking out from inside the shrine.

The chief priest wore a black gauze hat and a hunting robe made of white fabric. She was a very elegant, somewhat aged, white-haired old lady.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting... This is such a vicious curse. Please enter the temple and we will begin the ceremony right away."

When the palace assistant saw Ito Jun, his eyes became serious.

"Yes, please take these."

Ito Jun handed the cloth bag to the priest.

"The gods will bless the guests."

The priest held the cloth bag, touched it, and felt at ease. He walked to the treasury box, opened the package, and put a stack of Fukuzawa Yukichi's money in it.

The main hall is where the gods are enshrined and is the core of the shrine. The interior is divided into the outer ring and the inner ring. The outer ring is where the clergy hold sacrificial activities, while the inner ring is where the gods who are the objects of worship are enshrined.

Ito Jun sat on the ground in the outer formation, and the priest placed dozens of candles around him and lit them one by one.

"Please lie down. I am going to begin the ritual."

Ito Jun was about to lie down, but he thought of something and he put his hands on the ground to support his body.

"Wait a minute. Give me a minute."

Simulator, open it for me!

[Simulation: 1/3]

Ito Jun intended to use up today's simulation times before exorcising the evil spirit.

The evaluation comes from the performance in the simulator. If you successfully get rid of Kayako, you will at least get a B-level evaluation, which cannot be wasted.

If the opportunity to exorcise evil spirits was not so rare, Ito Jun would have wanted to hold on until midnight and simulate it twice in a row.

[Please choose one of the following talents, you can still draw it next time. 】

Friends (blue) Good deeds (purple) Love affairs (blue)

It's really hard to choose among the three talents.

Friends can help you pick out high-quality tools, good deeds can help you buy extra talents, having a romantic encounter can make you feel good, and then you can get a bodyguard who can eat ghosts.

In the long run, good deeds should be used in the future. At present, I have not done enough good deeds, and I cannot buy good things even if I go to Sanzuchuan Shopping Center.

Friends and romantic relationships are talents with similar effects, the former being within the range of normal humans, while the latter includes abnormal humans.

Jun Ito had been struggling for a whole day, and when it came time for another simulation, he still couldn't make a decision.

"When you hesitate, you will regret it no matter what you do. You will regret it anyway, so just choose the method that is easier now."

There was no time to hesitate. Reciting the teachings of his sect silently, Ito Jun made his choice.
