Could it be my brother, Shenhong thought.

Could it be the fourth person? Zhiyao was suspicious.

They looked at each other and ran back the same way. Xiao Wuhui followed them the whole time. Not long after, as they returned to the room where they had hidden from Wuhui, the closet door aroused their vigilance. The reason was that the door was open before, but now it was closed tightly.

With a tacit glance, the two tiptoed to the front of the closet. Shenhong kept a safe distance and raised the camera, while Zhiyao held the door handle with one hand and held the knife with the other.

The next moment, it opened with lightning speed.

"Boom!"

Something hit her head on. Zhiyao felt a flash before her eyes and she subconsciously let out a cry of pain. Then she felt something pushing her away. Shenhong, who was not far away, quickly pressed the shutter. When the flash went out, she saw the black shadow still rushing towards her. By the time she could react, she had been pushed to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the black shadow that had attacked the two men successfully ran out of the door. When Zhiyao's vision returned to normal, he also got excited and chased after him with a knife.

They walked down the corridor, chased into the hearth, crossed the stairs, passed through the lounge, and finally arrived at the circular corridor one after the other. Running too fast, the black shadow accidentally tripped over something and fell heavily to the ground. Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Zhiyao decisively rushed forward to subdue the black shadow and put the tip of the knife to the other side's neck.

"Don't move, or your life will be in danger!" Zhiyao warned coldly with a frown.

Then the black shadow really stopped moving. In the dark U-shaped corridor, the two looked at each other. After a few seconds, the black shadow's eyes suddenly widened.

"You, are you... a human..."

Just then, Shenhong and Xiao Wuhui arrived. When the flashlight shone over, Zhiyao discovered that there was a woman with long dark brown hair under him.

The long-haired woman didn't look like she had any ill intentions. After a moment's thought, Zhiyao stepped back and let the black shadow slowly sit up.

After a while.

"Oh, I didn't expect to see humans here, it's great." The long-haired girl held her chest and breathed slightly, it seemed that she had not completely recovered from the shock.

"Don't be in a hurry, take your time." Zhiyao quickly stroked the long-haired girl's back and said gently.

The long-haired girl nodded faintly in response, and soon put on a quiet smile.

"Come to think of it, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Kurosawa Koto, and I'm a novelist."

Chapter 21: [The lineup expands again]

The surname Kurosawa appears quite frequently in the Zero series of works. There are Kurosawa Yae and Kurosawa Sae in Red Butterfly, Kurosawa Rei in Tattoo, Kurosawa Mika and Kurosawa Aesuke in Wet Crows. What Zhiyao never expected is that there is now someone with this surname even in ZERO.

Since she appeared in the Himuro residence, she should be counted as ZERO, although Zhiyao was sure that this person had never existed before.

Perhaps out of curiosity, he kept staring at Gudu's face, and after a while, he attracted Gudu's attention.

"What's wrong?"

Zhiyao still looked at her without answering.

"Ah, I don't know what your names are yet." Gudu suddenly remembered this.

"My name is Hinasaki Shenhong." Shenhong introduced herself first. After that, she saw that Zhiyao was still motionless, so she poked him and said, "Hurry up, it's your turn."

"Oh, Sikong, full name Sikong Zhiyao."

For some reason, the more Zhiyao looked, the more she felt that Gudu's face was somewhat similar to Mihua's.

Could he be a relative of Mihua's family, or maybe...Mihua's mother?

Thinking of this, Zhiyao simply asked directly and clearly: "Hei Ze, how old are you this year?"

"How can you casually ask a woman's age?" Shenhong was speechless and stopped him decisively.

"Ahaha, it's okay." Gu Du smiled and waved his hand to show that he didn't mind. "I just turned nineteen this year."

Nineteen words...

Wait, how big is the dense flower?

Finding that he couldn't find the answer for the time being, Zhiyao had to stop and start to inquire about other things.

"Kurosawa, why are you here?" he asked curiously.

"Because I'm a novelist, I'm planning to write a haunted house adventure. After hearing about the Himuro residence, I came here to collect materials, hehe."

You really know how to choose a place to come to Himuro residence to collect materials. I wonder if the bodies of the previous group who came here to collect materials are now cold.

Zhiyao complained silently in her heart.

By the way, another person named Kurosawa also went to a place called "Yureiyashiki" to collect materials, but he was cursed by a tattoo and almost died.

"What about you two?" Gu Du asked in return.

"I'm here to find my brother." Crimson replied.

"I'm here to find her." Zhiyao pointed at Shenhong.

"Oh, so you two didn't come together. I thought... puff puff." Gu Du said with an ambiguous smile.

"Why?" Shenhong asked curiously.

Zhiyao basically guessed most of what we were about, thinking we were a couple who came to the haunted house late at night to seek excitement. Of course, she knew everything but didn't say anything.

Gu Du didn't answer the previous question, so Crimson switched to another one, "Ms. Kurosawa, were you the one running away before?"

"Yeah." Gu Du nodded, but his expression suddenly changed the next second. He looked back nervously and said, "Just now, a woman with a bleeding eye kept chasing me. I kept running away and finally hid in the closet. But after a while of silence, I heard footsteps outside again. At that time, I thought I was discovered."

"A woman with bleeding eyes?" Shenhong couldn't help but be stunned.

"To be precise, it is not a human being, but a ghost or something like that. Do you understand what I mean?" Gudu explained.

"I see. Does that mean you can also see things that don't exist?"

"Wait, Hinasaki... could it be that you are also..."

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. After learning that the other party had the same ability, the two girls immediately developed a sense of mutual appreciation for each other and the distance between them quickly narrowed.

"Sikong, so, you..."

Gudu turned to Zhiyao with an expectant look on his face.

"Sorry, I can't see." Zhiyao spread his hands.

"It's a good thing that you can't see." Crimson sighed.

"I agree." Gudu agreed.

Then, Shen Hong brought the topic back to the previous part. "A spirit with bleeding eyes, well, honestly, it's pretty scary."

"That's Mekakuro Miko, Lord Chiba." Xiao Wuhui, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted.

When Gudu heard the voice, he noticed her presence. However, as soon as their eyes met, Gudu hurriedly hid behind Zhiyao. Her intuition told her that this little girl was not human.

"Don't be afraid, Xiao Wuhui won't attack anyone." Shenhong explained quickly.

"That's right, Xiao Wuhui is my friend." Zhiyao added, then stretched his hand to the side and hooked his fingers. Seeing this, Xiao Wuhui immediately stepped forward and held his hand.

Spirits are friends? Is there such a thing in the world?

Gudu couldn't believe it.

However, after looking at her from all angles, she felt that Xiao Wuhui did not seem like a spirit that would harm people, so she gradually let down her guard.

"Then what's next..." Shenhong looked at Zhiyao.

"The person has been found, so of course we have to go back and repair the door." Zhiyao pointed to the next room with his thumb.

Hearing that the two were about to leave, perhaps because he was afraid that they would suddenly disappear, Gu Du hurriedly took Shenhong's arm.

"Please let me join you no matter what!"

"Of course you have to join us. Excuse me, are you in arrears with your IQ?"

Zhiyao's words reassured her, and she looked at him with great gratitude.

On the way, Gudu recounted her previous experience in as much detail as possible. Through the conversation, Zhiyao and Shenhong learned that she had been in Bingshi Mansion for almost six hours, and that she had seen a spirit not long after entering. She had planned to leave immediately, but when she returned, the door had been locked. So she had to continue looking for other exits. Not only did she not find any after searching for a long time, but she was also accidentally discovered by a female ghost with bleeding eyes. She then ran all the way until she met Shenhong and Zhiyao.

"Six hours? Is that really that long?" Zhiyao was a little surprised. "For Hinasaki and I, it should be almost an hour?"

"It's not an hour, it's the whole night. It's already dawn outside." Xiao Wuhui corrected decisively.

"It's daybreak?" Zhiyao obviously didn't believe it. "It's still pitch black outside. How is that possible?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the dark window above his head, from which he could just see the bright moon hanging in the sky.

"The Himuro residence has been isolated from the outside world for many years, so the flow of time is different from that of the outside world." Kogure continued to explain, "As for Kurosawa, he must have come in several days ago."

Gu Du was shocked that so much time had passed, but then he thought about it and felt that he was really lucky.

She thought that it was a good thing that time flowed at a different speed, otherwise if she had stayed in here for several days according to the outside world's time, she would have probably starved to death even if she had not been captured by the evil spirits.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the previous house.

Like Zhiyao and Shenhong, Gudu screamed in fear after seeing the head being looked down. If it weren't for helping to find clues, she wouldn't have wanted to stay here for even a second.

After taking another photo of the wall, Shenhong turned the camera over and presented it to Xiao Wuhui, indicating that she should look at the photos inside.

"Xiao Wuhui, are you sure you don't know where the mural is?" Shenhong said.

"Sure." Xiao Wuhui sighed regretfully, "I'm really sorry."

"Then... let's do it."

Shenhong was wondering what to do next when Zhiyao pressed her shoulders from behind and slowly pushed her to the side.

Shenhong was curious about what this person was trying to do. When he saw that this person was facing the wall and his toes were touching the ground from time to time, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

What happened next was just as she expected.

"BONG"

The wooden wall erupted with a loud noise.

however……

"Alas!"

Aside from the noise, nothing happened to the wall.

Zhiyao was not willing to give up easily, and continued to kick the second and third times with all his strength. Even so, the wall did not move at all, as if mocking his naivety.

"Well, it seems that relying on brute force to create miracles won't work." Zhiyao said to himself with a shrug.

"Don't act rashly, be careful not to hurt yourself. Let's go find the mural." Gudu grabbed his arm and soothed him warmly.

"How about this?" Zhiyao suddenly had an idea and took out a lighter. "I'll try to light the door on fire before kicking it?"

"No————!" Shenhong and Gudu sternly rejected the idea and simultaneously used their bodies to block the wall.

"Hey, hey, I was just joking. Look at the two of you..."

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from under the booth.

"I know where it is."

The sound came so suddenly that the three of them were frightened at the same time. Gudu hid behind two people, Shenhong and Zhiyao raised their cameras and drew their knives respectively. The next moment, Xiao Wuhui walked towards the source of the sound, walked to the front of the booth, squatted down, and lifted the red curtain, and then saw a little girl in red clothes lying there.

"Hey, is it you?"

"Yeah, Kirie, long time no see."

"Do you really know?" Xiao Wuhui asked impatiently.

"I know. I saw the Lord take it with my own eyes. He was also the one who put the talisman on the door."

Xiao Wuhui was overjoyed and said, "Tell me where it is."

"Okay, but you have to play with me first."

"Can I stay with you later?"

"No, I can't even remember how long I've been locked up. I finally waited for someone to open the door."

Listening to the conversation over there, Zhiyao unconsciously thought of Shiragiku and her three little friends at Katashiro Shrine, who also needed others to play with them.

"What do you want to play? Tell me." Zhiyao smiled and walked forward to talk.

Shenhong was startled and hurriedly grabbed him, signaling with her eyes not to agree to anything so easily.

Zhiyao patted her shoulder to reassure her, then walked to the lifted curtain and squatted down.
