"If it weren't for Miss Heartlamp's love for the stories of those monsters, how could I go to that Hyakmonogatari at night...... After all, telling monster stories at night, how can ordinary people stand it.

But since Miss Heart Lantern likes it, it's worth it, no matter how scary it is.

Just keep looking at her! The young man who looked a little obscene said with a yearning expression.

"Hey, why are you bothering, you must know that the heart lamp girl is not an ordinary person, she is from Kyoto......"

"I know, I didn't think about pursuing Miss Heartlamp, just watch her quietly."

"Hey~"

"Alright, the Tale of Hundred Things is about to begin, so let's go!"

Saying that, this person hurriedly pulled the little white face and walked forward quickly.

Hyakmonogatari is a Japanese folk custom that mostly takes place on summer nights. It is to light 100 white candles, and then everyone tells a strange and terrifying thing they have experienced in turn, and blows out a candle after each one.

Since it is difficult to actually construct a situation where 100 candles are lit at the same time, the gamers often take turns lighting several or a dozen candles to extinguish them. There is a saying about this kind of game, "you can't go on until you reach the ninety-nineth", and it is believed that something terrible will happen when the hundredth story is told and the candle is blown out.

Legend has it that if someone blows out the last candle at this time, it will attract ghosts. Therefore, often the storyteller will have a vigilance in his heart, and when it is his turn to tell the story, he must not become the last, because he doesn't know what will happen when he finishes the hundredth story, so every time he talks about the ninety-nineth, he will immediately stop, and no one dares to continue, so "Hundred Things" is also considered a ritual to summon ghosts collectively.

...

Although this village is not small, it is not very large, and after Yae Sakura entered the village, she carefully sneaked directly to the place where the demonic aura was thickest.

When I came to the place where the demonic aura was the strongest, I found that it was a relatively large room, and I didn't know what it was for.

However, there is a blue light in the room, and it looks a little evil, and there are voices inside, as if there are still a lot of people.

Yae Sakura crept over to one of the windows of the room, and then cautiously peered through the crack in the window.

It was a small room no larger than the size of a kitchen or bathroom, and there was no one in it, except for a blue papier-mâché lamp with a hundred wicks burning side by side.

A small wooden table is placed next to the running lamp, and a mirror is placed on it. There is no one, and the blue light is emitted by this street lamp.

At this time, a young man in blue clothes suddenly walked in and blew out a wick. Then, I took a look at my face in the mirror and went out again.

Looking at this situation, Yae Sakura instantly understood that this was them performing a hundred things.

Yae Sakura was speechless for this group of people in an instant, playing Hundred Monogatari in this nocturnal world of Hundred Ghosts, I'm afraid it's a long life, and the demonic aura in this room also proves that this is not an ordinary Hundred Monogatari ritual.

After thinking about it for a moment, Yae Sakura lowered her head and walked to another window next to her, and heard a person telling a story.

Looking out of the window carefully, there was a skinny young man telling a monster story, or a ghost story.

In Japan, oni is considered to be a branch of the gods, so gods and demons, yokai, goblins, and spirits are called yokai.

There were about a dozen people in the room at this time, all of them dressed in blue clothes, all sitting cross-legged on the floor, watching a thin young man standing and telling strange stories.

There is only one woman among these dozen people, and all the others are men, but this woman is really beautiful, wearing a cyan dress, looking extremely charming and moving, she looks almost 20 years old, and her age is not too young, but judging from her hairstyle, she is not married yet.

"In the next village, everyone in Tori Village should know that last month, a businessman who was in business went to the famous hot springs of Tori Village to prepare for a relaxing time after doing business in Bird Village.

When he was halfway through his soak, he didn't know if he was dazzled or what, but he saw a very beautiful woman in his hot spring, smiling at him.

Although he was very puzzled about how this woman came here, and no one had come in until now, he couldn't help but walk over to the woman, and then guess what he saw? ”

The thin young man paused at this point, and without waiting for the others to answer, he continued: "He suddenly saw this beautiful woman, except for the head, all the other parts submerged in the water were bones. ”

"What, isn't it the youkai "Drowning Girl" who often appears in inns and hot springs! ”

"Yes, it's the drowning daughter, I'm going to blow the wick." The skinny young man nodded, and walked straight to the small room of the running lamp.

"Okay, who's going to talk about it next? This is the 100th story......"

A strong man sitting cross-legged on the ground suddenly gloated.

"Next... It's me! ”

The only woman in the room stood up and said as if unlucky.

"What...... Miss Heartlight? This ......" saw the heart lamp stand up, and the people around him were surprised.

"Otherwise, forget it, right? After all, there are already 99 stories, and one more story is the real Tale of 100 Things, but something will happen. The young man who was obscene before saw that it was a heart lamp, and hurriedly said anxiously.

"Yes! I've talked about 99 of them today, so that's all......

"Also, it's getting late, it's almost dawn."

“......”

...

"This doesn't work, it can't be because it's Miss Xinlan's preferential, since it's a hundred things, then there must be a beginning and an end! Monsters what, how can there really be...... These rumors were circulated by the nobles in order to facilitate their rule.

Anyway, I've never seen a monster when I'm so old, and the villages that say they were destroyed by monsters must have been attacked by those rebels and bandits. Seeing that everyone was talking to the heart lamp, the strong man hesitated for a moment and objected anxiously.
