Hyakmonogatari is a custom popular in the Edo period, and it is a game of collective summoning weirdness.

To put it simply, on a summer evening, a hundred candles are lit in a small dimly lit room, and everyone sits around a green lamp in the next room, and everyone tells a strange story.

When a person has finished telling a ghost story, he has to go back and continue until he walks alone to a room lit with a candle, blows out a candle, and looks at his face in the mirror.

It was not until ninety-nine strange tales were finished, and the last candle was left, that everyone stopped talking and waited until dawn before they left.

It is rumored that if the hundredth candle is blown out, something terrible will happen.

There is also a saying that it doesn't matter how many candles there are, the most important thing is that this "last candle" cannot be extinguished no matter what.

Of course, in movies, literary and artistic entertainment, the hundredth candle is almost 100% blown out.

With the extinguishing of the last candle comes the possibility of evil spirits, youkai, calamities, etc.

"I understand the truth, but with Qiao San and me, there is no challenge after the hundred things are finished."

The autumn night was slightly cool, and Natsume Poetry, who was wearing only a yukata, suddenly felt a little chilly and pasted it in the direction of Sayoko.

"Not necessarily."

Kazuya Sakamoto said seriously.

"The Legend of the Hundred Stories is a game created by the Qingxing Lantern Monster to open the door to the human world and the underworld, and it will disguise the appearance of a mature person, induce it, and rely on the words and spirits of humans to achieve its goals."

"And Izumo has been the kingdom of God since ancient times, and it is the most blurred boundary between the human world and other worlds, so playing Hyakmonogatari here, maybe something wonderful will happen, isn't it more exciting?"

Kazuya Sakamoto looked a little excited.

"According to this statement, Sakamoto-san may have been replaced by the Qingxing Lantern Monster."

Natsume glanced at Kazuya Sakamoto.

Of course, it's an ordinary human being, and they don't even have spiritual power.

"But it's not convenient to go out so late, staying in the room to play ghost cards and uno is too disruptive to the game, hmph, I'll reluctantly play with you."

She clasped her hands to her chest and said as if reluctantly.

"Then I'll find two more people who I made an appointment before, Qiao San's room is also very large, and it can be used as a bedroom."

Kazuya Sakamoto picked up his phone and glanced at Sayoko again.

"It's okay, they're all girls."

"Sakamoto-san is really good at strange fields."

Qiao Qiao sighed.

Five minutes later, the two girls came to Qiao Qiao's room with a bag.

They are all Class A girls.

Sayuri Asai and Ryoko Saito.

Both Qiao Qiao knew each other.

Well, it seems a little wrong for the classmates to use the term "knowing", it should be said that Qiao Qiao has been in contact with it.

Sayuri Asai is the representative of the English class, and the family seems to be a famous family, and the discipline is very strict.

And Ryuko Saito is cheerful and outgoing, before she and her cousin had encountered the weirdness of "na", and even Natsume poetry was trapped, but fortunately, Qiao Qiao did a little work and rescued a few people.

"Qiao San and Higuchi-san used to live in such a luxurious suite, and the school really treated them differently."

Ryūko Saito looked around and quipped.

As classmates and companions who travel together, they are naturally informed of the special relationship between Koyoko and Qiao Qiao.

Natsume was a little relieved to see that it was the two of them, but then frowned again.

"Hey, Sakamoto-san, you can't make a move on Lunko and Sayuri."

She whispered in Kazuya Sakamoto's ear.

"You may not believe it, but they ...... first"

Kazuya Sakamoto spread out his hands and said helplessly.

"So now there are seven of us, so let's light eight candles to save time."

He took out eight candles and packets of snacks, drinks and, of course, a lighter, from the bag that Ryūko Saito was carrying.

After setting up the candles in the bedroom, Kazuya Sakamoto turned off the lights.

It was eight o'clock in the evening, and there were lights around, and even if the lights were turned off in the room, it was not dark and they could see each other's faces clearly.

Kazuya Sakamoto lit a candle and placed it in the center of the table in the living room.

Seven people sat around the table in the order of Johashi, Sayoko, Natsume Yushi, Saito Ryūko, Kazuya Sakamoto, Sayuri Asai, and Yamaguchi Jin.

I have to say that after lighting the candles, the atmosphere is still there.

Sayuri Asai subconsciously leaned in the direction of Kazuya Sakamoto, and Ryūko Saito also leaned over when she saw this.

"Well, let's start with me."

Since Kazuya Sakamoto is the initiator, he naturally wants to be the first to tell the story.

"Well, Miss Tanaka, who lives on the twelfth floor, is a blind person, she lives alone, she has no friends, and one day, her house is ...... Suddenly there was a knock! ”

"Wow!"

Hearing Kazuya Sakamoto's words suddenly raise his voice, Sayuri Asai was so frightened that he immediately hugged his arm.

"I haven't said anything yet, Asai-san."

Kazuya Sakamoto smiled and continued to speak.

"It turned out that it was Keiko, a female college student who lived downstairs, and she would sometimes meet Miss Tanaka in the apartment and occasionally say hello, but this time, it was not only Keiko who came, but also her boyfriend and two other classmates."

They didn't make a sound, and just followed Keiko into the room, and the blind Miss Tanaka didn't know it.

Listening to Kazuya Sakamoto's description, Sayoko also subconsciously hugged Qiao Qiao's arm.

However, it seems that Qiao San's body is a little cold?

Sayoko glanced at Qiao Qiao, but found that Qiao Qiao was trembling.

"It's scary."

Qiao Qiao said expressionlessly, but his voice was already a little trembling.

To be precise, Sayoko was already scared.

The fear was transferred to Qiao Qiao, so Sayoko was still unaware, but Qiao Qiao had already suffered from it.

"'Keiko, is there anyone else?' Although Miss Tanaka is blind, her hearing is excellent, and she immediately senses that something is wrong, and at this time, Keiko's boyfriend is casually rummaging through Miss Tanaka's wardrobe and drawers. ”

"'No one else,' Keiko replied, but she was holding back a smile while covering her mouth, when one of the boys came to Miss Tanaka's side......"

"Wow!"

Kazuya Sakamoto suddenly screamed.

"Ahh

Ryoko Saito and Sayuri Asai hugged Kazuya Sakamoto tightly and let out screams.

Yamaguchi was also startled by the sudden sound.

Natsume's poetry only trembled slightly, this level of ju scare, just to scare ordinary people.

Professional soul slayers like her and Qiao Qiao would not be scared at all by this.

"Wow!"

Qiao Qiao let out a scream.

He hugged Sayoko so tightly that even the clothes on his body were messed up.

Sayoko was hugged by Qiao Qiao through a thin yukata, and her face flushed, but fortunately, the room was dim and no one noticed.

"So Qiao San is so timid?"

Saito Ryōko, who was holding Kazuya Sakamoto, was a little confused, and Qiao Qiao in his impression didn't seem to be so surprised, right?

It's supposed to be a ...... that doesn't change its face in the face of explosions No, it should be said that the guy who can detonate a bomb without changing his face is the guy.

Is it because of Sayoko?

Sure enough, does love make people vulnerable?

Ryūko Saito's small head is full of big question marks.

And the story of Kazuya Sakamoto continues.

"Miss Tanaka, who was frightened, finally confirmed that there were other people in her room, and she asked the other party to leave, but she was constantly teased, ridiculed, and pushed from all angles by the boys."

"Just when Keiko thought that she was doing something too much, the light suddenly went out."

"Bang!"

Kazuya Sakamoto made another sound, but this time everyone was a little patient and didn't shout like they did just now.

Keiko hurriedly found the light switch, and when she turned it back on, she found that Miss Tanaka was no longer in the room, and one of Keiko's friends was lying on the ground, his throat had been cut with a sharp object, and blood was leaking.

"Smack-"

"The light went out again, Keiko and the others panicked, and hurriedly turned on the light, only to find that one of their companions had fallen again."

"Smack-"

"I still can't find any trace of Miss Tanaka, and the lights go out again."

"When Keiko turned on the light, everyone except her was already bleeding and lying motionless."

And Miss Tanaka appeared in front of her, and Keiko's face suddenly appeared in her originally godless eyes.

Miss Tanaka was covered in blood, holding a kitchen knife in her hand, looking at Keiko, the corners of her mouth turned up, and she spoke.

"I saw it!"

"Whoaaaa

Qiao Qiao's exclamation rang out in the room.
