After boarding the bus.

Grandma's body is undergoing wonderful changes.

The doll, which is in the hands of the old woman and is responsible for providing sensory and language skills, transforms into a young girl, about 14 years old...... As for the grandmother's body, she leaked again, turning into a crimson kimono with a flower color and wearing it on the girl's body.

This series of changes indirectly shows that Grandma is just a puppet.

The doll used for storytelling in his hand is the real body.

The girl has kaleidoscopic pupils, and once she looks at her, it is difficult to look away...... Except for Han Dong.

Gently patted the seat next to him with his palm, and motioned for Han Dong to sit down.

"I don't know, what should I call you, Miss."

Becoming such a girl, Han Dong always felt that it was too inconsistent to call her grandma.

"I am not qualified to regain the name given to me by my parents...... Your name is Aya, which is the pen name I usually use. ”

"Writers?"

"Well, if you want to talk about the origin story, it has to do with my book......"

As she spoke, Aya gently touched her cold, slightly hard, softskin puppet-like arm to Han Dong's emaciated body and began to tell the origin story.

"One of my favorite books since I was a child was "Night Walking in a Hundred Ghosts" written by Masa-sama Miyatake, and I was fascinated by the demons and monsters in it, and even accompanied me in my dreams every day and night.

I've always wished I could write a book like this, with a more terrifying version of the demons and monsters that I wrote, but also with a contemporary setting and an urban story.

Later, I called it "Strange Talk".

I started to write, and I started creating.

For some reason, whenever I create, I always see something weird...... At first, I thought they were just illusions in my head, a mental representation of my work.

It wasn't until one day, when a woman squatting in the corner of my house cut off my parents' heads, that I realized that they were all real...... In the process of creation, I will bring things that do not belong to our world to 'this side'.

It was also because of my ignorance that I killed my parents, and I did not deserve the name they gave me.

From that day on, I ran away from home.

Wandering around the world to create...... Maybe it's because I'm so involved that I'm starving to death in the middle of my work, and I don't know it.

It took me about a month or so to realize that I was dead, but I was still alive and could be seen by others.

Overall, I'm the first weird thing to be seen by humans.

Slowly, my abilities also showed...... But all the [strange stories] that I have written into the books will break through the 'barrier' and come to the human world.

Including the 'Red Umbrella' you've seen, the 'Abyss Public Toilet', and now Mr. Aha and the [Light] in charge of the park.

It's all the characters in my book "Weird Talk".

But some of the characters are very self-growing, and they are gradually out of my control...... I can't make them work, or even if they can imprison me and try to take control of this weird paradise on their own. ”

Han Dong was not particularly surprised by such an origin story.

In fact, it was also when Han Dong saw Granny Origin, and heard the relevant prompts of the system say that killing Granny would not give any reward.

and the 'strange talk invalidity' used by the follow-up grandmother.

Han Dong basically speculated that all the strange talks originated from Grandma.

At present, I am alone with my grandmother, but I just want to know what the origin is.

"Sure enough, it's not a world that is put together by a variety of films...... There is still a subject!

It's like the main body and mastermind behind the scenes in Dre Town is the Joker.

The reason why the current weird world will be formed is that the main body is this grandma!

At first, I thought that "Strange Tales" was a 'hodgepodge world' that blended various folk tales and movies, but now it seems that everything comes from a single subject.

It's no wonder I haven't found some well-known ghosts in Toei here, such as 'Sadako', 'Gacoko', or 'Cat Again' and 'Wine Swallowing Boy' in Toei's Demon Directory.

Everything in "Strange Talk" was created by Grandma herself through the form of writing.

In this way, all this is in contrast to the book "Strange Talk" that we chose at the beginning of the video store...... It's not a hodgepodge, it's a book with all kinds of weird stories. ”

That's when it happened.

[Aya] actually stretched out his hand and slowly reached into his body from between Han Dong's robes.

It seems that a hundred years of imprisonment has made her a little lonely.

"Aya-girl, this is not going to work...... Mr. Aha is outside. ”

Ling sneered, "Haha, do you really think that I am a 'husband and wife' with him?" I have nothing more than a partnership with him.

Moreover, the object of his marriage is this strange story on me - "Grandma's leather clothes"...... He has nothing to do with me. ”

Han Dong was staring at this aya girl.

A voice suddenly flashed in his head...... It was Mia's cry - "Scumbag! ”

"I can't do it...... My body can't withstand your restlessness for a hundred years. I won't be able to capture the lighthouse this time, and I'll think about it when it's done. ”

Seeing Han Dong's refusal, Aya didn't force it, and slowly pulled out her arm...... However, such rejection and rarity seem to make her more interested in Han Dong.

End of story.

The bus stops.

Just as Aya was about to change into her grandmother's costume, Han Dong suddenly stretched out her hand.

"There's something I'd like to ask you for help with."

"Don't let me touch it, and now you have something to ask me?"

"I must repay ...... afterwards" In Han Dong's plan, the origin mother-in-law must not be missing...... This is also the main reason why Han Dong talked to his grandmother alone.

"Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?"

Han Dong handed over the letter that had been prepared earlier, and said at the same time: "When the time comes, just do what you have above...... Without this link, the success rate of capturing the lighthouse is almost zero. ”

Ling frowned slightly after reading the contents of the letter.

"It's hard to do, I'm afraid it will drain all my energy.

Okay...... For your sake, I'll do you this favor. On the other hand, if things are done, I need you to stay with me for a while before leaving. ”

"No problem."

…………

The inner floor of the park.

A 100-year-old power station is now in operation.

The darkness of the past is gone.

All the street lights installed on the street are lit up due to the operation of the electrical circuit......

The street lamp and the lighthouse are connected, but all the life illuminated by these lights is included in the vision of the [lamp man].

The alarm sounded.

The park became lively, and the strange chatter of the whole city became uneasy...... In the streets and alleys, there are wanted notices with the seal of the lighthouse.

It is printed with the heads of the members of Han Dong's team.
