There was no one in the dark streets, so quiet that you could only hear your own breathing. The neon streetlights were dim and dim, and the only light on the road flickered on and off with the sound of electricity. Spiderweb-like wires crisscrossed overhead, casting shadows of teeth and claws on the ground. Two expressionless teenagers walked side by side in silence on the deserted street, their shoes hitting the ground with a hollow "click" sound. An obscure shadow hung over their faces, blurring their expressions clearly.

In the depths of the street, a red figure flashed away, which made the two teenagers who were in a hurry pause. Although it was only a glance, they could clearly see the face of the figure: a knee-length red trench coat, and long black hair that covered half of the face like a curtain...... There was nothing strange about this, but what was special was that the man's entire face was obscured by a large mask, revealing only two slender eyes that were as blood-red as scars.

"Heh, did it finally show up. ”

The silver-haired boy with his hands in his trouser pockets chuckled, his green eyes narrowing slightly.

"Ah, it seems so. ”

The red-haired girl beside him also grinned a little excitedly, staring at the place where the red-clothed figure had disappeared. Overly quiet night streets, flickering street lights, and suddenly disappearing figures...... The environment full of strange feelings did not affect their feelings, but made people feel a little anticipatory and eager to try.

"Now, Miss Detective," Nioh hunched his back slightly, rolling his eyes and slowly scanning his surroundings, "where do you say?"

"Who knows," Nao sneered as he crossed his arms, "it won't appear from where it just disappeared anyway." There are usually secret passages in such places. ”

"I said you, aren't you scared at all?" Nioh looked at her helplessly, "Aren't ordinary girls a little scared when they go to a haunted house......? At least scream a little bit or two, it's kind of atmospheric!"

"I'm sorry about that. I'd rather trust my eyes than something as ethereal as a ghost. Nao tugged at the corners of his mouth, and his golden-green pupils suddenly flickered, "But when it comes to screaming......"

She lowered her head and provoked an unpredictable smile out of Nioh's sight, and turned back sharply—

"Ahh——!h

A short scream came from behind Nao.

When Nioh turned around, he saw that the woman in red who had just appeared under the street lamp was already stiff behind the two of them. The half-raised arms and wide open eyes indicate that she was about to tap them on the shoulder when she was startled by the sudden turn of Nao, and she forgot her original purpose.

"What's the matter, screaming, right?" said the initiator with a mouthful of white teeth at the silver-haired boy.

Nioh opened his mouth and glanced at the embarrassed woman in red, but finally didn't say anything, just silently gave Nao a thumbs up.

Nao shook her hair happily and walked forward.

Walking around the corner of the Japanese night road, the two stepped into a completely different path from the style of Fangcai.

A thick mist filled the European-style path, and the white mist came into contact with the skin and hung on the hairs of the sweat to form cold water particles. Not only is the visibility of the entire street almost zero, but the temperature seems to have plummeted below freezing. The air was filled not only with the smell of earth, but also with a sickening smell of blood.

Nao shivered at the sudden cold, frowning and snoking.

"The smell ...... What is it this time?"

"Dry ice and spray, that's a big deal. As for the scene here......" Nioh raised an eyebrow and pointed to the fog in the distance, "See that?"

The buildings in the fog are barely visible, but there are still some glimpses of improvised sheds and broken windows in the light and shadow. Behind the cookie-cutter houses, there is a towering building looming in the fog, a little shimmering silver at the top.

"Cross?"

"That's right, the cross. Nioh wiped the black mole on his lips with his thumb and smiled confidently, "I'm afraid this is the Whitechapel area of London painted on the board outside, and it has been the site of a very famous event in history......

"—Jack the Ripper!" Nao answered.

As if to cooperate with the conversation between the two, a tall human figure against the light gradually appeared in the thick fog full of blood.

He is tall and strong, almost 1.9 meters tall. The black jumpsuit cloak covered his face, revealing only his thick arms holding the giant machete. An object that looked like a human lower limb was lifted on his other hand, a sticky scarlet running down his □ hand to the ground. He saw the appearance of the two as if he had seen delicious food, threw away the stump in his hand and walked towards Nao and them step by step, raising the glittering machete as he went, and let out a heavy breath in his throat.

"If you look at it this way, it's really visual. Nioh shrugged, "It's just that the secret of the mystery is already known, so it won't be scary." ”

"Indeed," Nao nodded approvingly, "if you want to be scary, it's better to have something like a ghost, and the genre of Jack the Ripper is really not suitable for a haunted house." ”

"It's just ...... Personal interests. ”

The tall "Jack the Ripper" in the thick fog suddenly spoke, and the thick male voice seemed to be tinged with a little helplessness, "You're not the first to say this, but who made me like seventeenth-century London." ”

"Seventeenth-century London, you're not a fan of Conan Doyle's books, are you?" Nioh laughed, "but the visuals are really good, and the makeup should be professional, and it's worth learning from." ”

"Really?" the man seemed to be extremely unfiguratively shy, scratching his head a little helplessly, "Actually, the lights and props were made by me, hehe! You should be middle school students, right? If you are admitted to Lihai University, welcome to our drama club!"

"Poof, if you have a chance. Nioh stretched out his hand and gestured to the Japanese street area behind him, "But senior, it's better to get back to your post now." ”

"Haha, that's right, but it's scary ahead, be careful!"

The man laughed loudly, bent down to lift the blood-soaked stump on the ground, and disappeared into the fog again. Nao and Nioh glanced at each other, both taking great interest in what he said was "terrifying." The two tacitly cast each other a "continue" look, and walked out of the streets of 17th-century London side by side.

According to the picture on the board, the next thing you will encounter is the "Hyakki Night Walk" in ancient Japan. After rounding the corner of the streets of London, the green ghostly fire and the staggered tombs were indeed displayed in front of the two of them. But before they could meet even a single ghost, they were stopped by the screams of women and the angry shouts of men coming from behind the grave.

Originally, any sounds that appeared in the haunted house were normal, but the conversation they heard had to be noticed.

"Follow me...... Clothes are indispensable...... Why do you have to follow that poor four-eyed ghost?"

"Shut up! What do you think...... No one knows, is that kind of dirty thing only ...... you."

"Hey, that's it...... That's it, don't worry about everything!"

"What...... It turns out that the club's funds are gone, and it's your ......"

Hearing this, Nao and Nioh had already come closer. No matter what Nioh's face was, at least Nao's expression had already cooled. Although there were only a few words, it was already possible to tell what was happening behind the tombstone.

Theft is not a serious crime but it is dirty.

Before Nao could make a move, the voice behind the tombstone came out again, a loud laugh in a man's tone.

"Oh, you don't know! Looks like I'm pretty clean, hahaha!"

- Smack!

A crisp sound echoed through the air, followed by the woman's angry voice.

"Sasabe, you're disgusting to me!"

“…… Don't be ignorant, you woman!"

The man seemed annoyed, and Nao could hear his heavy breathing and the creaking of clenched fists from a few meters away. If she didn't hurry up, the woman would have been beaten!!, her eyes narrowed, and she raised her foot to rush to the place where the incident had occurred.

"Wait a minute......"

The cold palm clasped Nao's wrist, and the great force firmly held Nao in place. Nao looked back in surprise, but what he saw was Nioh Yansù's expression.

"I'll go. ”

Nioh grabbed Nao's palm tightly, threw her behind him, and walked towards the back of the tombstone.

The cold touch seemed to linger on the wrist, and there was a dull ache in the skin that was clenched so hard. Nao looked at Nioh's back and was stunned for a moment, and she was a little confused about the palpitations that suddenly appeared in an instant. But the situation no longer allowed her to think more, and hurriedly followed Nioh to the place where the incident occurred.

"It's not okay to just shoot at a lady!"

Nioh supported the woman who had been almost overthrown by the man, and although he still had a slightly mocking tone, his green eyes were already shining with a cold light.

"Little brother, get out of here and call ...... Are you Masaji?" The beautiful woman dressed in a white single dress and disguised as a bone girl who still couldn't hide her eyes widened when she saw Nioh's face, "Why are you here?"

"Kawako-san?" Nioh was visibly taken aback, "What's going on?"

"Don't say anything more, get out of here and call someone! This man can do anything!"

The woman named Kawako stood up straight with Nioh's hand, took a slight step to block him behind him, and looked at the man in front of her with a wary expression. But Nioh looked fixedly at the man opposite him, who had a handsome face but a strong bad temperament, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"I don't know what's going on though...... But someone has already done it, and it will be back in a minute. He blocked Nao's position without a trace, and grabbed Chuanzi's arm where the other party couldn't see, "And if I leave like this, the eldest sister will cry if she knows!"

"You ......"

Chuanzi frowned and wanted to say something, but the man opposite interrupted their conversation first.

"What are you talking about, Chuanzi, it seems that you will only hide behind the man!" he looked Nioh, who was much lower than him, up and down mockingly, and the thick smell of wine spurted out of his mouth, "Tut-tut, last time it was the four-eyed thin monkey, this time it's a little ghost!"

"Oops, it looks like I'm completely underestimated!" a drop of sweat ran down Nioh's forehead, but he still chuckled and stood beside Kawako, grabbing Kawako's arm and preparing to attack. Sasabe sneered, and crookedly approached the two who were slowly retreating, squeezing the joints of his fists crackling.

"It's not a small courage! Lao Tzu is a karate ......."

"-Drink!"

Before he could finish his words, Nao rushed into the gap that Nioh had opened up, and stepped in front of Sasabe in just one step using the land shrinking method. Then she instantly jumped up in the air, twisted her body in the air, and kicked out her right foot and slammed into the man's left cheek. Sasabe was kicked to the ground before he could even hum, and the powerful force caused him to break several tombstones made of plastic foam in succession.

"......" Nao retreated to where Nioh and Kawako were, let out a long breath, and then flicked her bright red braids, and shot her sharp eye knife at Sasabe, who was rolling on the ground. She hummed softly with the wing of her nose, and the thick Okinawan dialect rushed out of her mouth—

"What happened to you just talking about karate? I didn't hear you clearly!"

"You bastard kid looking for death-"

Sasabe took a sip, and a broken tooth mixed with blood was spat to the ground. He rolled over in a rage and kicked at Nao's face. Nao flexed her legs and lowered her center, her breath deep, long, and staring at the posture he was rushing into. Compared to Sakurako's grandmother's crutch attack, Sasanobe's movements seemed to her like a storyboard slow motion, and coupled with the long-term actual combat, the warrior's instinct had penetrated deep into her bone marrow. In just an instant, she saw four or five flaws in the other party.

In the face of Sasabe's flying slash, Nao suddenly leaned down. Not only did he dodge his side kick, but his outstretched right leg also kicked his weight-bearing leg quickly, and then without waiting for him to fall to the ground, he got up and grabbed his kicked leg and pulled it into his arms hard...... One sideways, the left elbow struck him firmly in the abdomen.

Sasabe, who had been hit in the stomach, took several steps back, fell to the ground and vomited violently.

"This is karate, see it carefully clearly!" "Nao frowned in disgust, straightened up and dusted off the dust on his body, "It's ugly......"

"It's worthy of being the main force of the karate club, it's amazing!" Nioh, who came back to his senses, praised Nao without hesitation, and touched her head with the advantage of height, "The time difference is just right, it's amazing." ”

"It's your place that gives way...... And don't touch my head!" Nao shook her head uncomfortably, the slightly dark environment allowing her to hide her flushed cheeks.

"Masaji, this is ......"

Kawako didn't seem to have recovered from the shock, and her beautiful face had a look of surprise.

"It's just a 'one-minute ploy'. He curled his lips, "I'll give her enough space to attack and get her attention in a minute, and then the karate master Nao will attack." ”

"It's too dangerous!" Kawako suddenly furrowed her eyebrows and lectured him seriously, "Why do you do such a dangerous thing? If your sister knows ......"

"Well, as long as you don't say no, won't you?" Nioh winked at her, "Don't worry about the rest, anyway, if we want to talk, we have to go out first." ”

"Really......" Kawako sneered, but was stunned for a moment as her gaze swept over where Sasabe was, "What about that guy, so gone?"

"Ah, I didn't pay attention, I guess I ran away secretly. Nao shrugged.

"Anyway, I have to thank you. Kawako curled her lips at the two, "Let's go, let's go and sit in our lounge." This haunted house is a booth run by our drama club, and I will introduce Leping to you!"

"Boyfriend?"

"Hehe, yes!"

The three of them laughed as they walked in the direction of Foggy London.

The location of the lounge was just between the Hyakki Night Walk and the exit, right in the middle of the "door" shaped road, and the tombstone cluster where they were located was at the point above the "door" shape. There was a door near the exit and at the corner from Foggy London, and the one on the left was the one they were heading to. On the way, the three of them meet a tall man dressed as "Jack the Ripper", who is also going to the break room to refresh a little.

In this way, Nao, Nioh, Kawako, and "Jack the Ripper", a group of four walked to the lounge.

But near the door of the lounge, an unexpected event occurred -

The dry ice and spray in London in the fog did not stop spraying, and the smell of blood still filled the air as it reached freezing. However, there was only a few doll wrecks used as victims of "Jack the Ripper" next to the door of the break room, and at some point there was a complete human body. He lay on his back, his limbs curled up as if they were spasmodics. Although his lips were still stained with bright red blood and vomited filth, he still squeezed out a strange smile from the corners of his mouth, which was already red and swollen.

He had been out of breath for a long time, and even his body was starting to stiffen.

That face is the Sasabe who was beaten by Nao just now.
