Person... It's all gone.

His four friends disappeared at the gate of the old campus as if they had evaporated out of thin air.

As the puppet's shadow disappeared, there was nothing left in front of the old school building.

Eri Kitagawa looked around, full of horror.

It was a long time before she realized that her worst fears had happened.

"The Strange Story... Happened? Eri Kitagawa glanced around in confusion.

She regretted it a little.

Why didn't you stop Mio Sakura? Why sit back and watch them die?

And what's that little puppet? Why fly out of yourself?

One puzzle after another flashed through her mind, and finally she thought of someone.

"Brother Si! Right! Brother Temple! ”

Eri Kitagawa hurriedly took out her mobile phone and dialed the number of Kitagawa Temple.

......

Mio Sakura's long legs, which she had always been proud of, were pressed under a pile of discarded beams, and they were already faintly deformed.

It looks like all the bones are broken.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!! Love! Nanako! Sahi! Eri! Where are you? Come and help me! Come and help me! ”

She cried out in pain and put her hand on the beam as she called out to her partner.

The pain was sharp in the calf, and it felt like the entire calf was broken.

But it was quiet all around, and no one seemed to hear her cry of pain.

Mio Sakura could only struggle alone in the ruins of beams and trees, while looking around with a pair of big bright eyes.

It's weird...

Over here... Where is this?

What is this place?

Why did you come here?

Her little face was pale with pain, sweat slid down her cheeks, and she looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings.

It is a wooden school building with a low ceiling, and judging by the small wooden desks, it looks like an elementary school somewhere.

There is no ventilation here, and you can vaguely see the sky glowing with blood from the window.

The smell of rotting and damp emanating from the wooden floor made people frown.

The vermilion walls were covered with black stains.

"Where is this?" Mio Sakura's mouth trembled.

Myself... I can't really run into some supernatural events, right?

She swallowed, and reluctantly took out her phone as she was pressed down.

In the background of the phone is a photo of her with four other friends of herself.

As soon as she saw this photo, Mio Sakura's gaze couldn't help but soften.

yes, I still have friends... And companions... You can get out anyway.

The signal grid shows that it is outside the circle, which means that there is no communication base station nearby, and you can't contact a few friends.

Mio Sakura took a deep breath.

She had calmed down emotionally.

This situation is also taught in some escape manuals, so there is no need to panic so much.

She barely reached out and took a finger-width square log, and then put her right hand on the ruins of the wooden bar with all her might, and then barely lifted a gap between her lower body and upper body!

Then with the left hand, insert the log into the gap as a support point.

The tearing pain came from the calf!

Mio Sakura was already crying.

But still, slowly, slowly, she pulled her legs out of the rotten pile of sticks.

The calf has been crushed and deformed.

"Haha... Now... But he must have been scolded to death by his mother. Mio Sakura showed a sad face, pulling out a self-deprecating expression.

But... In any case, they must be found to love them, and the leg will definitely need to be fixed and bandaged, and there is a risk of infection.

She exhaled heavily, intending to rest for a while before figuring out a solution.

But Mio Sakura couldn't have imagined that behind her, in the gray-black glass of the school building corridor, there was a little boy staring at her with resentful eyes that had no white eyes.

The small red fire axe was clenched tightly in his hand.

A tyrannical smile appeared on the pale and immature face.

......

"Sahi, Sahi."

"Wake up."

Saki Sakurai was woken up, to be precise, she was woken up by Otomo.

"Love...? You... What's wrong with me? Saki Sakurai blinked a little strangely and looked at Otomo in front of her.

"Don't talk about that, just look at the place around you and see if you have any impression." Otomo Ai directly interrupted what this dead friend said and pointed around.

"Uh..."

Saki Sakurai touched her head, a little unsure of what Otomo was talking about.

She looked around confusedly.

This place looks like a physical chemistry laboratory, and the cupboard behind it is full of bottles and cans, but those bottles and cans don't seem to be chemical and physical supplies, and if you look closely, it looks a little like -

Human eyes...?

"I want you to see your surroundings." Otomo Ai coldly stood in front of Saki Sakurai, who wanted to stand up and take a look:

She silently stood in front of the cupboard and asked, "Don't you have a little impression?" ”

The contents of these cabinets behind her, she saw just now, scared her a lot.

If Saki Sakurai saw it, she might have to spit it out, which would be a waste of time and physical strength, so she simply blocked it.

"Uh... Let's go out and have a look. Saki Sakurai didn't quite understand either, she pushed her glasses and pointed out the door.

"Okay." Otomo Ai grabbed Saki Sakurai's palm.

Outside the science lab is a long corridor, which is boxy, and the darkness spreads to the other side.

The wooden floor creaked and creaked beneath his feet, and Saki Sakurai was a little worried about whether the wooden floor would suddenly collapse.

"How? Do you know where this is? ”

"I don't know, it's just..." Saki Sakurai felt a chill down her spine, she looked at this eerie scene, and continued: "Here... It seems to be the Mikawa Elementary School recorded in "The Lost Mikawa". ”

"Mikawa Elementary School?" Otomo blinked, a little incomprehensible.

She hadn't read the book "The Lost Mikawa", so she naturally didn't quite understand what Saki Sakurai was talking about.

"The name on the book, it is said that the ghosts of children are lodged here, and this is also the real place to play the four-person hide-and-seek game, and the spell I found was also found in the book "The Lost Mikawa". Saki Sakurai explained briefly.

Her face was a little pale: "If this is really Mikawa Elementary School, Mio... And Nanako, they..."

"Don't worry, don't look at Mio, she's a woman who can handle it at a critical time, as for Nanako, she's usually a good girl and has helped a lot of people, and I'm sure those people are also blessing her, she should be fine."

Yes, although Mio Sakura is narcissistic, she is also very smart and can calm down and think about how to deal with emergencies when encountered.

As for Nanako Takigen... Although she dresses like a bad girl, everyone knows that she is very kind, and as for whether the people she has helped will bless her - Otomo is just reluctantly pulling a reason for Saki Sakurai not to be too anxious.

“... Be. Anyway, let's get out and find them. ”

"Hmm. We need to be quiet, though. Otomo Ai raised his index finger and looked serious: "If this campus is really hosted to resentful spirits, they will definitely not let us go, pay attention to keep quiet, don't let them find us, and in the same way, every visual blind spot must be investigated." ”

She took out her mobile phone, adjusted the screen light to the darkest, and then turned on the flashlight function: "The mobile phone can't be used outside the circle, use my mobile phone to illuminate first, and then rotate your mobile phone after my mobile phone is out of power, is the mobile power strip?" ”

Looking at Otomo's calm and alert attitude, Saki Sakurai, who was originally a little panicked, also nodded heavily: "I put it in my bag." ”

"Then you charge it first, and I've used a lot of it today."

The two were still arguing, and suddenly there was a scream from the corridor behind them.

"It's Mio's voice!" Saki Sakurai's face was stunned, and then an indescribable anxiety welled up from her face, and she just wanted to take a step and run over.

But—

Otomo took her palm and shook her head gently.

At the same time, she made a boo gesture and motioned for the two of them to touch it slowly.

Saki Sakurai was anxious, but she couldn't ignore Otomo's opinion, and the two girls secretly moved over step by step.

The source of the sound was in the studio, and Mio Sakura's screams were getting louder and louder—

But even Saki Sakurai noticed that something was wrong.

Mio Sakura screams exactly the same every time, but the strength of the voice is different.

This is too singular.

It's as if a repeater has been playing Mio Sakura's screams on a loop.

But you can't do it without looking.

Saki Sakurai and Otomo touched the door lightly, and gently opened a gap in the Japanese-style sliding door.

I saw a sculpture of Mio Sakura in the studio, and next to Mio Sakura's sculpture, there was a child whose head was smashed and deformed.

The top of his broken head was rancid brains the color of peanut butter.

The brains were sliding down his face, dripping onto the wooden floor.

All around him were painted of various colors.

The yellow color of fat, the purple red color of the pancreas, the pale yellow of the cerebral plasma, the red color of the coagulated blood...

There are also various human organs floating on it.

While he looked at his work with satisfaction, his mouth made the same sound as Mio Sakura.

This strange and disgusting scene almost made Saki Sakurai scream.

But she stubbornly suppressed her desire and gestured to Otomo.

The two men walked away lightly again.

It wasn't until they had completely bypassed the studio and returned to the door of the physicalization lab that they gasped heavily.

"What was that?" Saki Sakurai couldn't imagine what she had just seen.

Why are people still alive when their heads are smashed open?

“... The spirit of a child. Otomo shook his head vigorously and said in disbelief, "There really is such a thing in this world. ”

The two of them were silent for a while.

.......

The hideous notched moon hangs high, making people's bodies chill.

Eri Kitagawa was at the school gate, looking around in panic.

All my friends are gone, what should I do now?

She swallowed, her eyes filled with fear.

That's what people are.

If you don't see something in person, you will always feel that everything is not a big deal, and even if you do, nothing will happen.

But when everything is really ruthlessly displayed in front of me, I feel that everything is a little abnormal.

Ten seconds have passed since she called Kitagawa Temple, and she is still waiting for the other party to arrive.

"But Brother Si is in Sister Tsukishima's house, and it will take more than ten minutes to come over quickly, right? What to do..."

Eri Kitagawa was still nagging in place, but the next moment, she was hit the head.

It felt like someone had slapped her.

She turned around and saw that Beichuan Temple had unknowingly arrived behind her.

"Brother Temple!" Eri Kitagawa exclaimed in surprise.

But how did Brother Si come over so quickly?

She was a little confused.

"Well, you're fine, right?" Kitagawa Temple was still the same as before, his face was calm, as if nothing in this world could stump him.

"I'm fine! Brother Temple! I persuaded them! I persuaded Nanako to them! Not... Woooooooooo

Eri Kitagawa started crying as she spoke, and her hoarse appearance made Kitagawa Temple's heart soften when she saw it.

Kitagawa Temple gently rubbed her head and said in a gentle tone: "Don't panic, Eri, I've heard you talk about the general situation on the phone, you tell me, how did they get in?" ”

After receiving the call from Eri Kitagawa, Kitagawa Temple only took fifteen seconds to arrive at the scene from Tsukishima's house.

He is seven times more physically fit, and his speed is frighteningly fast.

As early as when Eri Kitagawa left home, Kitagawa Temple secretly stuffed Nishikujo pitiful into her bag, in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, and it is estimated that the other party was crazy and didn't find out that Nishikujo was pitiful.

Eri Kitagawa nodded and told everything in one hundred and fifty.

"They recited a spell before they disappeared?"

Beichuan Temple raised an eyebrow.

He turned to look at the unremarkable school gate, and after a deep groan, he stretched out his hands.

Eri Kitagawa's eyes widened.

Under the moonlight, she could clearly see the black aura lingering in Beichuan Temple's hands.

Is that...?

Eri Kitagawa has an impression of black gas.

This black qi was used last time when Kitagawa Temple treated her palm.

Kitagawa Temple ignored Kitagawa Eri's shocked face, he just followed his feelings to a place.

The eyes that had temporarily lost the whites of their eyes due to the breath of death were opened.

The hands wrapped in dead air stretched out flat, as if they were holding something—

Click!!!!

Something was torn apart.

Kitagawa Temple sensed the difference in the space in front of him, he exhaled, looked back at Eri Kitagawa in a daze and said:

"You wait here until I bring back your best friend. I won't be biased by anyone, you little girls, it's really getting more and more disagreeable. ”

"Besides, I still have something to talk to you about when I go home, so be mentally prepared yourself."

After leaving these words, Kitagawa Temple slammed into the air.

To be precise—

"Gone? Brother Temple? Eri Kitagawa swallowed.

But she soon thought of the words left by Kitagawa Temple.

The original action of swallowing saliva stopped, and his face became extremely strange.

Could it be...

You're going to teach yourself a lesson, right?
