Didn’t you say you were just using me as a substitute?

But soon, the TV signal seemed to stabilize, the screen showed black and white, and automatically began to play a horror short film, which was the movie "The Grudge".

Unlike the complete version of The Grudge that everyone has seen, the version played on TV has been edited. There is no cause and effect. There is only a group of people who are seeking death. One after another, they enter the house, and then die mysteriously one after another. It looks more like a realistic videotape left behind as the last warning of the deceased to the future generations who are about to step into this house.

In fact, Kitahara Takashi had already watched all the movies in the "The Grudge" series.

Hmm? You ask him why he dared to watch it even though he was so timid? Of course, he was timid and curious.

It’s just like Lu Dehua playing games, he has to play even though he’s no good at it.

To be honest, Xiao Rizi really understands horror.

After watching "The Grudge", Takashi Kitahara never slept with the lights off again.

The horror of "The Grudge" lies in the fact that it breaks his previous perception that "hiding under the quilt is safe."

No, how can it get into the quilt!

How could that little devil get in and be killed!!!

Isn't it said that the quilt is an absolutely safe barrier that ghosts can't get in? How can he hide in it and kill people? He doesn't follow any rules at all.

Humans have their own laws, and ghosts have their own rules. I can only say that Japanese ghosts are too rude!

Crunch~

When the film finished and the TV screen went black again, Kitahara Takashi and the others discovered that the wall in front of them suddenly cracked and slowly opened to both sides.

Looking at the gloomy and messy house, which looked like it had been the scene of a fight, Kitahara Tsutomu began to feel a strong sense of unease.

He doesn't even want the money anymore, can he quit now?

Feeling Kitahara Tsutomu's palm trembling slightly, Kashiwagi Nagisa, who was originally a little nervous, gently tiptoed and wanted to get close to her ear to speak.

But Beiyuan Zun was so tall that she couldn't reach him even if she stood on tiptoe. She just leaned halfway in his arms and whispered with a hint of smile, "Are you scared?"

"Who, who's scared! Nagisa, are you kidding me? How can someone like me, a member of the Shijo family, be scared? That's hilarious!"

"Nagisa, if you're scared, you can hide behind me."

Before Kitahara Takashi could say anything, Shijo Shinki and Tanuma Tsubasa answered one after another.

Staying in such a gloomy and quiet place, the four of them were holding hands and were so close that no matter how softly Kashiwagi Nagisa spoke, the other two could hear it.

"You did it on purpose."

Kitahara Tsutomu glared at her unhappily.

It’s fine if you secretly hold my hand in front of your boyfriend, but you think it’s not exciting enough, so you deliberately say it out loud to induce him to look here?

Next time, do you want your boyfriend to watch you get tangled?

I'm not the Minotaur!

Thinking that the other party treated him as a part of a play, Kitahara Takashi suddenly got angry. Without caring what Kashiwagi Nagisa would think, he shook off Kashiwagi Nagisa's hand and deliberately took a step to the side to distance himself from her.

Kashiwagi Nagisa was stunned.

It wasn't that she was angry that Kitahara Takashi had shaken off her hand. She just didn't expect that Tanuma Tsubasa and Shijo Shinki could hear her. She said helplessly and perfunctorily: "Okay, thank you."

"My Lord, if you are afraid, I can also protect you. I allow you to stand in front of me." Shijo Shinki naturally did not forget Kitahara My Lord.

'Are you sure you're not using me as a shield?'

Whether he was protecting her or she was protecting herself, Kitahara Tsutomu didn't want to expose her.

But after this incident, I wasn't so scared anymore.

"Thank you for listening to me."

"Need not"

Boom! ! !

Before Shijo Shinki could finish her words, a loud noise was heard from upstairs.

Kitahara Tsutomu's heart, which had just relaxed, immediately became nervous again.

"what!!!"

The four concubines were so frightened that their calves were trembling. They held on to Tanuma Tsubasa's arms tightly with both hands to prevent themselves from falling down.

Tanuma Tsubasa was also frightened by the sudden loud noise.

More importantly, Shijo Shinki didn't know where she got the strength from, and it hurt so much when she grabbed him.

strangeness.

Sometimes the other party couldn't even open the bottle cap, so why did he feel so strong this time that he could crush my bones?

"Nagisa, don't do harm..."

Tanuma Tsubasa looked at Kashiwagi Nagisa first, then his pupils suddenly constricted and he fell silent.

Kashiwagi Nagisa was trembling like a quail, with her face buried in Watanabe Takashi's chest.

One of them is tall and the other is petite, but they seem to be a good match.

The premise is that it would be better if the girl was not his girlfriend.

Kitahara Takashi was the first to react. Noticing Tanuma Tsubasa's gaze, he patted Kashiwagi Nagisa's shoulder and said, "Kashiwagi-san, although I know that your boyfriend and I look a lot like each other, you've got the wrong person."

When Tanuma Tsubasa heard what Kitahara Takashi said, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes.

I was shocked when I saw Watanabe Takashi for the first time. It was dark, so it was reasonable for Nagisa to hold the wrong person.

.....right?

Although he still felt uncomfortable, this was the only way Tanuma Tsubasa could comfort himself.

Let's just talk about it, what else can we do?

If you want to live a decent life, you have to have some green on your head.

Is it possible to break up?

Since Tanuma Tsubasa chose to confess to Kashiwagi Nagisa, it shows that he really likes her.

The jealousy of those you can’t have is the sourest, and the one who falls in love first is the most miserable.

He was the one who confessed and he was the one who fell in love first, but the initiative was never in the hands of the confessor.

".....Um."

Kashiwagi Nagisa didn't say anything, but just lowered her head with a blush, and kept fiddling with her bangs on her forehead with her hands.

She didn't dare tell Kitahara Tsutomu that she was really scared just now.

The environment already made her a little nervous, and the sudden loud noise coupled with the screams of the four concubines made it hard not to be scared.

Just like sometimes when you watch a horror movie with friends, the movie is not scary, but the friends next to you who are jumping around in fear are the scariest.

This time it's really Shijo Shinki's fault.

"Pretend, keep pretending! You must be from La Masia Film and Television Academy."

Kashiwagi Nagisa was really scared, but the preconceived stereotype made Kitahara Takashi think that she was pretending.

"Well, let me go up and take a look first." Beiyuan Zun found an excuse and escaped.

Rather than staying here any longer, Kitahara Tsutomu would rather stay alone.

Besides, there are only a few ways to scare people in a haunted house. The most you can do is have the staff dress up as ghosts and chase him around.

If it's a human, then there's nothing to be afraid of.

At worst, I can just give him an elbow and knock him down.

If one elbow doesn’t work, then use two.

Halfway up the stairs, Kitahara Takashi suddenly smelled a pungent stench in the air.

This smell made him, who often watched dismemberment cases, start to imagine all kinds of scenes.

Because the scene was too real, Kitahara Tsutomu couldn't help but stop and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

He looked upstairs and then downstairs, and suddenly he felt that it was not so embarrassing!

As long as he doesn't feel embarrassed, then it's others who are embarrassed.

92. Completely Crazy (Votes Requested)

When Kitahara Tsutomu was thinking about whether to go down, he suddenly heard a "squeak".

He subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound.

In his field of vision, there was a bright red door, which seemed to be blown by the wind, or pushed open by someone from the inside. The door was slowly opened little by little in his eyes.

The paint on the door seemed to have not dried yet. At this moment, bright liquid was still dripping down, but strangely, no sound was made.

Looking inside through the crack of the open door, the room was shrouded in cold darkness.

A corner of the curtain was lifted, and the cold moonlight from outside fell on the ground.

Squinting his eyes and looking carefully, there seemed to be a person lying on the bed in the room. Even standing on the stairs, Kitahara Tsutomu could clearly hear the heavy breathing of the person on the bed.

The scene before him was enough to send shudders down his spine at a single glance.

'Retreat, retreat!'

Even though I know these are all played by people, I am still afraid.

Kitahara Tsutomu no longer cared about whether it was awkward or not. If he didn't leave, he was afraid that he would actually faint from fright.

Worried about disturbing the people in the room and afraid that he would suddenly sit up, Kitahara Tsutomu stared at the other person and began to back away.

One step, two steps, eh?

When Kitahara Tsutomu went down the third step, he suddenly felt his calf seemed to hit something.

His body stiffened immediately.

He was very sure that when he went up the stairs just now, there was nothing on them.

And how should I describe that feeling?

It doesn't look like an object, but more like a person.

"Calm down, Kitahara Takashi! They are all impersonators, they are all impersonators." Kitahara Takashi kept comforting himself.

Sudden--

“La la la la la la la~”

An ethereal female voice floated in the room.

“La la la la la la la…”

Listening to the strange music floating in his ears, Kitahara Takashi couldn't help but curse: "Fuck!"

They actually played the background music of "Hell Girl" - "Blood Spread".

The terrifying and gloomy atmosphere coupled with the sad and tragic singing made Kitahara Tsutomu's uneasiness begin to magnify infinitely, and even his breathing gradually became heavier.

He finally understood why this haunted house had almost 100% positive reviews.

It was already terrifying enough, and when he thought about the unknown thing behind his feet, Kitahara Tsutomu was really going crazy.

With a determined heart, gritted his teeth, and stomped his feet, Beiyuan Zun lowered his head and looked behind him, and found that there was a little boy squatting at his feet. He was whiter than he was three days after his death, with only his eyes black.

At this time, the little boy also had a dejected look on his face, staring at Kitahara Tsutomu expressionlessly.

The moment their eyes met, Kitahara Tsutomu's mind went blank and he couldn't think of anything.

"Kekeke..."

There was also a sound of something crawling on the stairs.

Kitahara Tsutomu looked towards the stairs with trembling hands and feet.

I saw a woman with her neck twisted to the side, covered in blood, crawling down the dark stairs.

With the help of scene rendering and the spread of blood, Kitahara Tsutomu's psychological endurance has reached its limit.

In the end, the final blow was delivered by the little brother and the crawling sister, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
