Zongman: I am in Shuchiin, my last name is Uchiha

Yes, our rooms are thirteen and fourteen, which means that the guest room is right opposite the window.

And the gloomy guest didn't want anything since he moved in. No meals were prepared for him, and no one was allowed to approach his room.

Although the customer behaved strangely, he had paid a deposit after all, so the store owner did not pay any attention to it.

However, on the third night of the guests' stay, screams were heard from all the rooms in the main building. When people opened the door of Room 7, they saw a hanged figure swaying from side to side.

Later, people said that the man hanged himself because he was cursed by Yuan Chi and could not bear the pressure.

After that, many people who stayed in Room 7 said that they felt there was something in the room and it was particularly depressing.

Under the dim yellow light, this is the small table lamp that Fujiwara Chika brought herself. The other three people sat on the bed attentively, listening to the story told by Fujiwara Chika.

Chitanda showed a curious expression, "Where did Fujiwara-san hear this story from?"

"Hehe, campus forum."

Uchiha Ling nodded, "OK, it can be determined to be fake."

Chitanda Eru drew aside the curtains. "We are in room 14, so the one across from us should be room 7."

Yukinoshita looked at Uchiha Ling, "This is just a story that students made up when they were bored...and why did you stay in the girls' room?"

Uchiha Ling ignored Yukino's scrutinizing look and said, "Didn't we say we would tell ghost stories together tonight? I came here because I was worried that you would be scared."

Yukinoshita: "Because you stayed in the room the whole time, that's why we were scared!"

Fujiwara Chika pointed at Uchiha Ling and said, "Then it's Ling's turn to speak next. After you finish speaking, you can go back to sleep."

"I can't tell ghost stories. Um... I have a midterm exam soon, right?"

Fujiwara Chika's expression froze, "Don't... don't say that, I forgot to review again..."

Chitanda sat down next to Fujiwara Chika and patted her head, "It's okay, Yukino and I can help you with your studies!"

Fujiwara Chika pouted, "We're all out here to have fun, so let's not talk about topics that will ruin the atmosphere! Ling, please change the topic."

Inside the room, the top student in the grade smiled, while the fifth and sixth students did not understand the feelings of Fujiwara Chika, who was ranked around 100th in the grade.

"Forget it, I'm going back."

Uchiha Ling got up and went back to his room. He was indeed not good at telling ghost stories, but would it count as telling what happened to Natsume when he was a child?

By the way, if Natsume wrote an autobiography, it would probably become popular as a novel.

After returning to the room, Uchiha Ling looked out the window and a nimble figure appeared below the main building of the hotel. It was the little fox he met in the hot spring.

Just when Uchiha Ling was a little curious, another group of people walked out of the main entrance of the hotel, and the little fox ran away immediately when he saw the people coming.

Uchiha Ling opened his Sharingan, and the person who left the hot spring hotel... was the hotel owner, Hinazuru Akina.

Why did Xiao Ai's mother go out in the middle of the night, and the direction she went was not to the streets in the city, but to the mountains and forests.

Although there are basically no wild animals in the open back mountain of Shuchiin, there are many mountain spirits like little foxes.

He opened the window and jumped down from the second floor. Uchiha Ling chose to follow quietly.

On a quiet night, Uchiha Ling followed a beautiful young woman in the dim woods. Please don't get me wrong, he was just worried that Xiaoai's mother was in danger.

However, the people following Hinazuru Akina were not only Uchiha Ling, but also a little fox.

"Little Fox, explain to me, what is this young crane lady doing out in the middle of the night?"

Uchiha Ling walked around Makiko Fox and looked at Hinazuru Akina who was going deeper into the forest.

The little fox sighed, "This human often comes to see Master Fluorescent, but ordinary people can't see Master Fluorescent's spirit at all."

"Originally, I wanted to help Master Yin Yang pass on the message, but Master Yin Yang said that she is different from us worldly monsters and cannot form a bond with humans."

Uchiha Ling: "We cannot form a bond. Why?"

The little fox shook his head and said, "You have to ask Lord Fluorescent. I'm not sure either. After all, I'm a monster preparing to enter the world just like my brothers and sisters."

The pond by the night is the legendary Fuchi Pond of Hinazuru Ryokan. However, the so-called Fuchi Pond is just a habitat for fireflies.

Hinazuru Akina spread the blanket on the ground and sat down quietly, watching the fireflies dancing by the pool.

What was puzzling was that Hinazuru Akina was holding a golden yukata in her hands, and the clean yukata was soaked by her placing it on the water.

What are you doing...washing clothes? Are you coming to the pond in the forest just to wash clothes?

Uchiha Ling stood up and walked straight over. He didn't need to hide anything. Instead of investigating secretly, he might as well take the initiative to ask.

Hearing the footsteps, Hinazuru Akina was obviously surprised that someone would come.

"You are the male student from Shuchiin. Why don't you rest in your room? Do you want to enjoy the fireflies too?"

"I guess so....but what is Aunt Hinazuru doing here?"

Uchiha Ling's eyes were fixed on Hinazuru Akina's side. There was a guy sitting on the blanket that ordinary people couldn't see.

A woman with long golden hair was looking at this side with curiosity.

Hinazuru Akina smiled and said, "I just want to return the clothes she lent me that year."

Return the clothes? Before returning the clothes, you need to soak them in water... Hinazuru Akina obviously saw that Uchiha Ling didn't understand, and could only sigh helplessly.

"Because only when my clothes got wet would she jump out and scold me...but after all these years, she never showed up again."

Uchiha Ling shifted his gaze away from the blonde beauty and looked at Hinazuru Akina in front of him.

"Who is she?"

Hinazuru Aki lowered her head and looked at the soaked golden yukata in her hands.

"She is my benefactor and friend. When I was very young, she often sat here and watched the fireflies flying in the sky with me."

As she said this, Hinazuru Akina stood up and took back the blanket.

"Whenever I feel bored, I always come here to take a look. But it's getting late today, shall we go back together?"

Uchiha Ling shook his head, "Aunt Hinazuru, please go back first. I want to appreciate these fireflies for a while longer."

Hinazuru Akina passed by Uchiha Ling and suddenly stopped.

"You can look at the fireflies, but I hope you won't hurt those little guys... Fireflies have a short lifespan, and I don't want them to deviate from their original destiny because of human intervention."

"Of course... I just want to enjoy this beautiful view that is hard to see normally."

Hinazuru Akina left, and Uchiha Ling walked towards the blonde woman.

"Excuse me, may I ask if you are Lord Fluorescent?"

The blonde woman who was still sitting there turned her head, "You...are different from ordinary people. You can see me."

"of course can."

Uchiha Ling came closer and looked at the beautiful Milky Way on the lake formed by fireflies together with Yingguang.

"That Auntie Hinazuru just now...was talking about you, right?"

Fluorescent nodded. "Yes, she is also my benefactor...and friend."

Chapter 165 Stories and Truth

Uchiha Ling was a little surprised. "But she obviously can't see you..."

The monster named Fluorescent lowered his head and said, "That happened a long time ago. That child often chatted with me when he was a child. We always watched fireflies here together for a while."

"But one day, she suddenly couldn't see me anymore..."

Uchiha Ling: "Suddenly... I can't see it?"

Fluorescent nodded, then smiled self-deprecatingly. "Actually, I knew this before I met her. Some ordinary people who are born with strong spirituality can see some monsters when they are young."

"As children grow up, their spirituality will gradually dissipate... eventually they will become ordinary people. This is why you humans say that children can see things that adults cannot see."

At this time, the fox also ran over from a distance.

"Master Fluorescent, this is the human who helped my sister."

Fluorescent's expression did not change at all, as if he had already known Uchiha Ling's identity.

"I haven't talked so much with humans in a long time. Do you want to hear my story?"

Uchiha Ling sat on the ground, "I'm bored anyway, so why not listen."

.........

The next morning, Uchiha Ling knocked on the door of the girl's room next door. Then Yukinoshita suddenly pushed the door open and pulled Uchiha Ling in.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Uchiha Ling, who was pulled in by Yukinoshita, saw Fujiwara Chika who was pouncing on Chitanda at first sight.

"Oh, is this something I can see without paying?"

Yukinoshita rubbed her brows and said, "Early in the morning, Fujiwara-san woke us up as if he had a nightmare, and then he shouted that he saw a figure hanging in room number seven across the street last night."

Last night, I was outside in the first half of the night, and when I came back at night, I didn’t find any monsters nearby.

Fujiwara Chika raised her head, still hugging Chitanda tightly, and spoke slowly.

"Last night I was suddenly thirsty, so when I sat up and prepared to drink a glass of water, I saw a vague shadow of a hanged man in the room opposite!"

Yukinoshita opened the window and looked across. "Maybe you saw it wrongly. After all, if there really was something like that last night, the hotel wouldn't have just pretended nothing happened."

Fujiwara Chika clenched her fists and said, "That's the problem. I clearly saw it yesterday, but there was nothing this morning."

Chitanda Eru rubbed Chika's head and then also showed a serious expression.

"Actually...I saw that hanging figure, too."

Just when Fujiwara Chika got up to drink water, Chitanda, who was a light sleeper, also woke up and saw the shadow emerging in the darkness outside the window.

"When I woke up in the morning, I thought I had seen it wrong, but Fujiwara-san said he saw the same thing."

Yukinoshita: "What if both of you saw it wrong? After all, there was only moonlight outside at the time. It's normal to see something wrong in such dim conditions."

Chitanda Eru held her chin up and suddenly put her face in front of Yukinoshita.

"Yukino! So what on earth have we been confused with?"

"this...."

Chitanda Eru raised her hand, "Let's investigate together! I'm curious!!"

Uchiha Ling: "Then why don't we just go find the landlady or Xiao Ai and ask them to let us go to room seven. It's an empty room anyway."

Just when the group of four found the proprietress Hinazuru and wanted to see room seven, Hinazuru Akina just smiled, nodded and looked at Uchiha Ling.

"Have you told them what happened last night?"

"Last night?" Fujiwara Chika caught the key words.

"What did Ling and the boss's wife do last night?" Chitanda Eru said casually.

Yukinoshita's cold eyes swept over. "Uchiha-san, I misjudged you."

"Wait a minute!"

Uchiha Ling noticed that the three women looked at him in a strange way and said hurriedly, "Who do you think I am? Although I admire Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms, it's just admiration!"

Hinazuru Akina smiled and said, "I'm sorry, there was something wrong with what I said. I don't know why you came to room seven, but I can probably guess... I'm so sorry."

The landlady opened the door. The layout of Room 7 was the same as the other rooms, except that there was a beam between the two windows.

Hinazuru Akina picked up a golden yukata from the low table nearby.

"I was hanging clothes here last night. If you accidentally saw something wrong, it's probably because of this dress."

Fujiwara Chika exclaimed in surprise, "Eh!! So the shadow we saw... was actually just hanging clothes?"

Chitanda: “Is that really the case?!”

Yukinoshita: "If it's clothes, why do you hang them out to dry at night, Aunt Hinazuru?"

Hinazuru Ai hugged Yukata in her arms, "It seems that this little classmate really didn't tell you what happened last night..."

Uchiha Ling said helplessly, "I'm not the kind of person who likes gossip, and it's late at night, even if I want to tell them, I can't enter the room."

This time it was Hinazuru Akina's turn to blink in surprise. "Huh? Didn't you guys rent two rooms as a cover-up, but actually live together?"
