Chapter 64: Hide and Seek
"But there's nothing nice about this body, is it?"
The ghost said with some regret, and the little hand had already unzipped up, ready to take off the outer skirt.
Summer seemed to know her crime, waved her hand again and again, and apologized: "Count me wrong, please don't take it off." ”
The ghost doll's sling slices were scratched off, and several shadows could be seen on the white shoulders, like stitching marks.
"What about your gentlemanly manners?" The ghost doll is unrelenting and not very satisfied with Summer's perfunctory apology.
[What era is this the eldest lady of which family? ] He still pays so much attention to the sense of ceremony. 】
I complained in my heart, but I still performed a non-standard gentleman's ceremony in the summer.
After apologizing, Summer was not sure if the ghost doll had deflated, and asked carefully, "Can you tell me now, who are you?" ”
"I'm a ghost, a ghost that scares people and kills people."
Saying this, the doll floated up, looking at the level of summer, and its small facial features were delicate and did not look like a human.
Whatever it is, the point is to figure out where you are now.
"And where is this?" Summer looked at the darkness around her and asked suspiciously.
"Five basement floors, E3 confinement room." The ghost doll replied.
"Then why is it like this?" Summer puzzled.
Is this what E3's confinement chamber really looks like? Endless darkness is indeed more terrifying than an empty house.
"Because you're dead, this is the dead man's E3 confinement room, and the place you just stayed in is the living man's E3 confinement room."
The ghost doll seems to be stating a very ordinary thing, and Summer doesn't accept such a bad joke.
"What crazy are you talking about?" Summer frowned, he didn't have any memory of his own death.
"I know you don't believe me, look me in the eye." The doll's small hands hold the summer cheeks, soft but cold.
The ghost doll's face was very close, and the flawless childlike face was close at hand, but he couldn't feel the ups and downs of his breath.
The gaze was completely captured by those red jewel-like eyes, and the expression on Summer's face began to change.
In the pupils of the eyes, you can see everything that has disappeared around you, the smooth walls, the slate bed, the chair, the doll still sitting upright on the chair.
There was a man lying in front of the doll, not the slightest bit angry, like a corpse.
Summer was stunned for a moment, the corpse was herself.
"You're dead, and now you're just a spirit." The ghost doll spoke, and the cold air that came out of it hit Summer's face, forming a layer of white frost.
"Spirits have no memory, no abilities, and no sense of touch, so it's clear that I'm still alive." Summer speaks, the body heats up, melting the facial hoarfrost.
"Wrong, the memories of the spirits need to be washed by the Styx, and the ability will be deprived in the Yellow Springs, you neither went to the Styx nor went to the Yellow Springs, of course everything is still there."
The ghost doll's cold little hand caressed Summer's lips, and the ethereal voice went straight to her heart.
"As for the sense of touch, spirits can touch each other in the first place, did I tell you that I am a living person?"
"I'm a ghost, a ghost who scares people and kills people." The ghost doll introduces herself again.
It doesn't matter if the doll in front of him is a ghost or any other creature, but he will never die so inexplicably.
If all this is a joke, apparently summer is not very satisfied.
Summer pulled the doll's little hand away from her face and said with a hint of hostility:
"Hey, I'd love to keep you gentlemanly, too, but if you're an enemy, then you'll have to entertain with your fists."
In the face of summer's hostility, the ghost doll's eyes became indifferent, and she said faintly: "What a boring person, I would have liked to play with you for a while." ”
The ghost doll has an expressionless face, but the appearance is just a child about three years old, and the lonely eyes and such a pitiful tone make Summer feel a little sympathetic.
"The Great Sage definitely didn't bring me here to play with you, right?" Summer let go of her hostility and softened her tone a little.
There is no doubt that the Great Sage specially ordered the steward to bring him to this confinement room, so the next encounter with this ghost must be expected by the Great Sage, and the Great Sage will definitely not arrange it for no reason.
"Since you entered the academy, I thought you were a fool who could only fight, but I didn't expect you to have a bit of brains." The ghost doll said with some surprise.
"Have you been staring at me since you entered the academy?" Summer asked curiously.
Unexpectedly, the ghost doll laughed "hehe", only pure laughter, and her face was still expressionless, but it was even more terrifying.
"Don't be sentimental, in my eyes, you are no different from the braised pork prepared in the cafeteria." The ghost doll said this, but it made Summer discover a strange point.
Why do ghosts care about braised pork?
"Everything in this academy is under my control, including your bullying of Teacher Tucci."
The ghost doll floated in front of Summer again, and the eyes met between them.
"Don't talk about it, that bad thing should be hungry."
After her ethereal words, Summer's eyes were dizzy, and her body seemed to spin, being sucked into her red pupils.
When he opened his eyes again, he was lying on the cold, smooth ground, with a chair in front of him and a slate bed in the distance.
This is...... Back in the real world?
The chair was empty, there was nothing unusual around him, the fire was still around him, and the room was much brighter.
Is it a dream?
Summer couldn't be sure what had just happened, but soon someone woke him up.
The two arms hugged Summer from the back, there was no temperature, judging by the height, the ghost should have returned to the same appearance as when it first met in the Red Moon Temple.
"Would you like to play a game with me at the end?" If you win, I'll tell you the secrets of this prison. In addition to being a little cold, the voice is a very normal girlish voice, which seems to be lonely.
Summer was hugged from behind, unable to see her appearance, and looking back from the reflection of the wall, she could only see her back, wearing a beautiful but heavy black dress.
"What game?" I didn't think about refusing in the summer, and instead of staying alone for more than ten days of confinement, it was better to find something to do.
"Hide and seek, you come and catch me, if you catch me, I'll tell you." The ghost pushes Summer forward and disappears.
"In this room?" Summer looks around, and as a game, the range is a little too small.
"Of course not, it's the whole prison, all the way to the seventh floor, the deepest part." The ghost's empty voice lingered in the room.
The door was closed, and even the sound could not be heard.
"How do I get out ......"
Summer wondered how to get to the seventh floor, touched the wall, and his palm could actually pass through directly.
Taking a step forward, the body goes directly into the wall, and at the same time the body loses the restraint of gravity.
There is no line of sight, and you can only rely on your feelings to determine the direction.
"Are you so adaptable?" The ghost urged.
Summer was unconvinced, following the direction of the sound, walking through the masonry.
