"So it's not something to panic about." After taking a sip of tea, Kitagawa Temple continued: "Asamiya-san, your inspiration is now stronger, which is also conducive to seeking good fortune and avoiding evil. ”

"Is that really? Kitagawa-san? "Hitomi Asamiya is still a little uneasy.

In this regard, Kitagawa Temple just nodded: "If Asakamiya-san, if you don't believe me, then there is no need to talk about it." ”

"No, no! I believe in Kitagawa-san! Asamiya Hitomi shook his palm, then gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously: "I will work hard, adapt to this kind of life, thank you very much Beichuan for being willing to listen to my discussion." ”

Yes, even if Kitagawa Temple wants to help, there is nothing that can be done about this kind of thing.

As the sequelae of eliminating the calamity, Hitomi Asamiya must face a world that is both familiar and strange to her.

Hitomi Asamiya also left after thanking him repeatedly.

In the huge living room, only Kitagawa Temple and Mirai Kamiya were left—and Nishikujo was pitiful who suddenly jumped up and climbed on the side of Mirai Kamiya's neck.

I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Kamiya Miku poured into the pitiful, and now this little guy is the future of Kamiya in addition to sticking to Beichuan Temple.

But Kitagawa Temple didn't mind, he sat down on his own, and began to think about the 'four-person hide-and-seek game' that Hotaru Chiba said.

This 'four-player hide-and-seek' sounds similar to a four-cornered conjuring game, but it is different from a four-cornered conjuring game.

First of all, the four-player hide-and-seek game is a game played in an open space, while the four-cornered spirit game is in a small enclosed space, through constant shoulder patting and coughing, increasing the claustrophobic feeling.

Secondly, the ritual sense of four-player hide-and-seek is stronger than that of the four-corner spiritualist game.

Don't let it be that way.

Under the dark night sky, a group of pale students chanting some kind of incantation that is close to death by the light of their mobile phones, and after completing this soul calling ritual, the students hide in the school...

Layers of fear, an abandoned school like a coffin.

There was an unknown thing in the darkness, wriggling countless hands, dragging his companions hiding in the school into the darkness one by one—

Looking back, who's behind you?

Looking back, who's in front of you?

Although it feels like a Japanese weird talk to think like this, there is a fatal loophole in it-

Kitagawa Temple thought to himself.

If there really is a resentful spirit, at least someone will scream or make some other noise, right?

Hearing the terrible wail, the remaining survivors must have realized that something was wrong and started to run away.

You must know that the four-player game of hide-and-seek is different from the four-cornered game of spiritualism, and the stage of the strange story was built near the old campus from the beginning.

Even if the survivor is unable to escape, the mournful screams of the survivors before their death are sure to attract the patrolling campus security guards.

But you can't say everything to death.

Kitagawa Temple can clearly remember the blood-colored space that he was pulled into by the resentful spirit of the factory owner of the abandoned factory of the Miki puppet.

If this strange story is like the strange story of the Miki puppet abandoned factory...

Kitagawa Temple rubbed his eyebrows.

To tell the truth, the special blood-colored space of the Miki Doll's abandoned factory was not a place that could not be forcibly left by Kitagawa Temple, and every time he used the death qi, he could feel the tremors of the surrounding space, showing an extremely unstable feeling.

There's still too little information, and there's not much that can be analyzed.

Beichuan Temple gave up for the time being, thinking like a tide fading, and when I raised my head again, I found that-

Mikumi Kamiya's face.

The pretty face with 'I'm curious' written on it was sticking to it.

Beichuan Temple didn't say a word, and raised his hand to push the face away.

Kamiya Miku, whose face was pushed away, was full of surprise, and it took a while for her to come to her senses, and she said in an unwilling tone:

"Si-kun, how can you treat me like this!"

"You come up without saying a word, and it's light to hit you without subconsciously beating you."

Kitagawa Temple obliquely looks at the future of the valley.

If it weren't for the timely withdrawal of the defensive counterattack by the Kitagawa Temple, Kamiya would probably have to fall to the ground by now.

"Really?" Kamiya Mirai tilted his head and thought about it, and found that what Beichuan Temple said seemed to have some truth, so he nodded: "That's indeed me sorry for Sijun." ”

Beichuan Temple didn't care about her Qingqi's brain circuit, but just asked, "Don't talk about this, what's the matter with you?" ”

Kamiya Mirai sat down again, her crystal eyes staring at Kitagawa Temple, as if thinking.

After a long while, I heard her thoughtful voice:

"I originally wanted to ask about the abandoned factory of Tera-kun's Miki dolls, but after seeing Tera-kun's preoccupied expression, I wanted to know even more about what Tera-kun was thinking just now."

In fact, it's not bad to tell Kamiya about the future, after all, she has helped herself investigate the information of the Miki Doll Factory very clearly before, and maybe she can learn something from her this time.

Thinking of this, Kitagawa Temple did not hide it, and repeated what Chiba Hotaru had said to him to Kamiya Future.

"Hide-and-seek for four...?"

After hearing this, Kamiya Mirai glanced at Beichuan Temple with a strange look.

"You've heard of it?"

Kitagawa Temple asked when he saw that her face was wrong.

It's no wonder that Kamiya Mirai is also a little girl who is very fanatical about weird talk, and it's not surprising that she's heard of a four-person game of hide and seek.

"It's not a question of whether you've heard or not... Temple-kun, I've seen someone make this game before, and it's pretty close... I guess it wasn't long after I was a freshman in high school. ”

"But I knew at the time that there were some beings in the world that humans couldn't understand, so I didn't participate in this game..."Kamiya Mikushi continued:

"But nothing really happened at the time, everyone thought this strange story was fake, and they went home together."

Is this weird talk fake?

Kamiya Mirai has no reason to lie.

When I first entered the first year, it was exactly one year when I converted to the present, and the timeline was indeed very close.

Beichuan Temple couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but ask: "Kamiya, can you still contact the people who played this game before?" ”

"Hmm... I don't know about this, but there were a lot of people who went to see the excitement at that time, and most of them were from other schools. ”

"Most of them are outside the school? Does that mean that there were still students from our school participating in the game at that time? Kitagawa Temple asked.

But for some reason, at the mention of the topic of 'students at this school', Kamiya Miku's face stiffened, and she was speechless.

"What the hell is going on?"

Kitagawa Temple frowned.

"The student who participated in the game... Temple-kun should actually know... Her name is Nana Hoshino. ”

Nana Hoshino? It turned out to be her?

Nana Hoshino, a bad girl who slandered her predecessor for stealing her underwear, was hit in the head with a bat by Ishikawa Kaito and died in Lakeside Park.

The bookshelves of Kitagawa Temple are still stuffed with the Ishikawa Kaito diary that she left behind after surpassing her.

But the deceased is gone, and Kitagawa Temple does not want to make any evaluation of the behavior of a deceased person during his lifetime.

"Well, Hoshino also participated in the game at the time, but nothing happened in the game."

"I did remember the contact information of one of the participants, but it's been a year, and I don't know if he changed his email address."

Many people say that exchanging e-mail addresses in Japan is a sign of intimacy, but that's not the case.

In Japan, mobile phone numbers belong to personal privacy, and Japanese people regard personal privacy as more important, unless they are very good friends, otherwise they will only exchange e-mails, and Japanese e-mail is bound to text messages, which does not hinder communication and can hide their phone numbers from being found by harassing calls.

Exchanging e-mail addresses is actually a disguised means of protecting their privacy, and the statement that many people say that 'email addresses are more important than phone numbers' is actually wrong.

"I'll look for it... I remember the name was called Kiyoi Kobayashi..."Miku Kamiya muttered as he took out his phone.

There are no decorations on her white smartphone, and a cute pendant hangs next to her ordinary phone, which looks very simple.

Kitagawa Temple also only glanced at it.

But he didn't expect that in the background of Kamiya Mirai's mobile phone, he actually saw his own face.

When did Kamiya use his photo as a phone background in the future?

Beichuan Temple's face was stunned, and he just wanted to ask: "Found it." The email address has not been cancelled. ”

Kamiya Miku's fingers deftly jump on the screen of his mobile phone, fully demonstrating the hand speed of a student living in the 21st century intelligent era.

After a while, a simple text message was edited by her.

"Can you see this? Temple-kun? ”

Kamiya Mirai got closer to Kitagawa Temple again, and his eyes were clear.

The conscience of heaven and earth, she didn't do it on purpose, but the screen of her mobile phone is really small, and if she doesn't do this, she is afraid that Beichuan Temple will not be able to see it.

The text messages written on the smooth screen are nothing more than some long-lost greetings, whether you are free, whether you can reply to an email.

The key is that Kamiya Mirai is very clever in his words, apologizing for his long absence from greetings, and on the other hand, he is verbally enthusiastic about his recent health.

This little girl simply took the words 'social rhetoric' to the extreme.

From this point of view, Kamiya Future does have the talent of virtuous help.

"Just send it like this." Kitagawa Temple nodded.

Hearing Kitagawa Temple's words, Kamiya Mirai also stretched out his white index finger and pointed at the confirmation of sending.

After doing all this, Kamiya Mirai stretched out as if he had fought a big battle.

A well-developed figure is revealed.

"Let's wait, I haven't talked to this guy since we exchanged addresses, and I don't know if he remembers me - by the way, Si-kun, do you want tea?"

"Yes." Kitagawa Temple replied briefly, and he looked at Kamiya Miku's mobile phone and asked:

"Kamiya, your phone background."

"Mobile phone background? Is this what you're talking about? Kamiya Mirai brought the hot tea and put it down, then sat next to Kitagawa Temple, unlocked the phone, and generously showed it to Kitagawa Temple.

Kitagawa Temple is not mistaken, and sure enough, it is his photo.

At that time, Kitagawa Temple was wearing the winter uniform of Keihoku High School, with a scarf wrapped around his neck, and half of his face was hidden under the scarf.

In the lower right corner of the phone's background, Kamiya Mirai also played a scissor hand, which seemed to be just clamping the Kitagawa Temple on the other side of the screen.

"You use my picture as your phone background?" Kitagawa Temple confirmed it again and again, and then looked back at Kamiya Miku.

But Kamiya Miku didn't feel panicked at all when she was caught, she just had a happy smile on her face and gently grabbed her phone.

"This photo is my favorite, so I used it as a background for my phone."

"Even if Sijun asks me to change it, I won't replace it."

Beichuan Temple felt a heavy determination from the other party's tone, and he turned his face away and said flatly: "It's just a photo, you can do whatever you want." ”

"Thank you, Si-kun!"

Miku Kamiya smiled even more.

Half of the sunlight hit the floor, and the tea shone with a burst of shine.

I don't know when, the tea stalk has been erected.

......

While waiting for the other party to reply to the email, Kitagawa Temple did not stop to collect information about the four-person game of hide and seek.

This strange story is also a hot topic on the SNS network and LINE group, and many people want to try it out in a group, and some people even upload videos about the four-person hide-and-seek game on the Internet.

But none of those videos have any reference value, and they are basically funny works yelling at young people.

And the spells circulating on the Internet about the four-player game of hide and seek are also strange.

Some spells are directly copied from dark nursery rhymes, while others are out-of-tune sets of odd syllables made up of various romanized phonics...

In short, the innovation ability of sand sculpture netizens has opened the eyes of Beichuan Temple again.

But when you think about it, there is nothing wrong with these operations.

After all, they all have to eat, and these adaptations are nothing more than a routine of arbitraging traffic and finally monetizing.

In these strange routines and anti-routines, useful information was really discovered by Beichuan Temple.

'The horror and mystery topic hit "The Lost Mikawa" won a four-player hide-and-seek game! ’

'The Lost Mikawa is partly inspired by a four-player game of hide and seek? ’

'It's a hot topic! The urban weird talk that has become hot again because of "The Lost Mikawa"!? ’

'Interview with the author of "The Lost Mikawa"! What happened to him that made him write such a horrific mystery? ’

"The Lost Mikawa...? Honya Grand Prize? Kitagawa Temple frowned.

He seems to have vaguely heard the 'Honya Grand Prize' at Tsukishima Risa.

Kitagawa Temple opens the introduction of the WAP version of "The Lost Mikawa" on the mobile phone.

I saw that the introduction reads:

'Now... They are still playing hide and seek... Constant hide-and-seek... It will go on forever and ever. Hatred will turn into a bruised curse that will lead people into the cursed school—'

The introduction ends abruptly here, making people feel a sense of 'how can it just be broken here'.

Just when Kitagawa Temple was about to pay money online to buy the first volume of the WAP version, Kamiya Mirai on the other side suddenly made a happy voice.

"Temple-kun! Finally the mail came from there. ”

Oh?

Hearing this, Beichuan Temple moved his fingers, raised his head and said:

"Come on."
