Put the bag down, bend over, and unfasten the buckle.

The pink cell phone was sandwiched right in the middle of the schoolbag, and the screen flickered with each sharp urging sound.

Jingle Bell--

Kato Megumi pursed her lips, gritted her teeth, picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.

There was a child's voice on the other side.

"Moshimoshi? Peach is here!"

Kato Megumi was silent.

"Mosimoxi?"

"Speaking?"

"Can't you hear me?"

"Moxi moxi..."

Each voice became hoarser than the last, and in just a few words it seemed that the person holding the phone opposite had changed from a child into a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties... While Kato Megumi hesitated, the voice continued to change rapidly.

This sentence has begun to highlight the old age.

"Hello..."

Kato Megumi could only strike up a conversation based on her feelings.

Sure enough...the child's voice reappeared.

"Moshimoshi! I heard it!"

"I'm Peach!"

peach…

Without giving her time to think, the voice named Taozi said again:

"Well, then! What's the question?"

"…question?"

"You're not going to ask questions?" The voice became dangerous: "If you're not going to ask questions..."

peach…

Ask a question...

correct! !

Kato Megumi finally remembered the urban legends circulating among students -

"Please call the all-knowing Momoko!"

Compared to the woman with the slit mouth and Hanako in the toilet, this is a little story that is not as scary as other ghost stories.

Think about it, think about it quickly...

Phone, make a call – ask questions.

Is that right?

Kato Hui stopped waiting: "I have something to ask."

"So disappointed... So you're asking questions too?"

The voice is low.

"So then? The question is?"

"The problem is..."

"Please, how can I get rid of you?"

Kato Megumi held her cell phone in her hand.

At this moment, she had already calmed down.

"My question is: How can I stay alive and get rid of you?"

Even the sound gradually returned to being steady and clear.

——Being calm and quickly changing your direction according to the development of the situation may not be as smart as those who can plan and calculate everything accurately in advance. But you must admit that this kind of ability to calm down quickly and face danger calmly is still a rare talent.

Kato Megumi has it.

"please tell me."

After asking the question, the other side was silent for a few seconds.

Then, there was a burst of shrill laughter!

"Hahahaha--"

“You’re so funny!”

"Yes, is this a question?"

"Getting rid of Peach alive?"

As he spoke, his childish innocence suddenly turned into several crazy, overlapping, narrow, dark, and shadowy voices. It answered Kato Megumi's question in a weird tone.

"How can I get rid of Peach alive?"

“The answer is.”

"There is no such possibility."

"Hehehe, I really want to meet you!"

"Don't worry, Taozi will come to you soon."

Click——da.

Beep…beep…beep.

The phone hangs up.

Without waiting for the screen to go dark, Kato Megumi quickly opened the dialing interface and ran towards the nearest police station.

'Though I don't think it's likely to help.'

"That's all we can do."

The girl's thumb stopped on the dial button, and suddenly, a wonderful touch made her body tremble - as if some unknown existence was scratching her cheeks and neck with soft flesh and blood, and on the tentacles that kept sucking, the empty illusion left a light sigh and prompt.

Who?

Who is speaking?

Kato Megumi shook her head violently. Perhaps, the mysterious existence was making her hallucinate.

Just like before.

Call the police...

Call the police...Call the police...

She hesitated, not knowing why she did this, but she finally dialed the only number in her cell phone directory.

beep…

Click.

"Hello, this is Miss Lioness! Today is another happy day of hunting."

Kato Megumi: ...

What am I doing.

Chapter 42 The strange story that follows

Jingle Bell--

"Mosimoxi!"

"Here's Peach!"

"We've arrived at the station!"

Switch the call on hold.

"The children in Kato's family are so cute. Let me tell you about those little devils in my family..."

Blah blah blah blah.

"Sorry Sa-chan, I don't have time to chat with you right now."

"——Huh? What's wrong?"

"I encountered... a supernatural incident that you may not believe. Sorry, I have to call the police station and home, so I'll hang up now."

Click.

Press three numbers that are clear to anyone.

"Hello, do you want to call the police?"

"Yes, my name is Kato Megumi." She quickly gave her personal information and location: "Can you send someone here quickly? I..." Turning back, behind her was a long street like a black hole with no one in it.

"I...may not have much time."

It’s easy to imagine what would happen if the thing that calls itself Peach was found.

"I know you may not believe it, but it's all true. I saw it with my own eyes—"

At some point, the person answering the phone was a man.

"Tell me where you're moving."

The young man did not question Kato Megumi's words. He asked her to calm down and not stop running, then quickly hung up and called her with his own cell phone.

"Kato Megumi, right? Listen carefully." He seemed to be moving very quickly as well. What came from the phone was the sound of dense footsteps and the reassuring sound of vehicles starting up.

"I won't go into detail about the exact time that passed. What you need to do now is to try your best to answer the call from 'it' and delay the time of answering the call."

"You can wait up to fifteen times for the bell to ring."

"remember."

“Don’t exceed this limit.”

"have you understood?"

The man's calm voice made Kato Megumi more and more pessimistic.

official…

If the authorities are aware of this situation and have not resolved it...

Jingle Bell--

Kato Megumi instantly perked up and devoted half of her attention to counting the number of rings while running.

Ding-ling-ling…Ding-ling…

once…

Five times…

Twelve times...

fifteen…

"Mosimoxi!"

"Taozi is at Alley 12!"

"You lost three hairs. I'll return them to you later."

"Hee hee hee…"
