Bang dang

The electric chair shook for a moment, and finally stopped falling, and the faint mechanical braking sound from outside also slowly subsided, and the display screen on the top of the elevator finally lit up with a "1".

Tang Juyi's train of thought stopped here, and his eyes were a little more solemn.

[The elevator door slowly opened, and a burst of noisy laughter also came from outside the door, making Tang Juyi dazed for a while]

As the narrator says, when the elevator doors open, there is laughter, music played by various musical instruments, and occasional applause, as if a grand celebration was going on.

This warm atmosphere poured into the elevator, and although Tang Juyi had not yet stepped into this provincial capital, he already felt an inexplicable heartbeat.

"I'd rather hear the kind of crying that clearly means danger than this kind of laughter that clearly means danger......"

Sighing, Tang Juyi, who had a certain degree of social resistance, was very disgusted by this atmosphere, but he still walked in with his feet raised.

Although the narrator does not speak, it is clear that there is only one way forward. The narration content that reminded Tang Juyi to press the No. 1 button would not mean that he would leave safely at a glance for sightseeing.

There is a large guest room with a classic traditional Japanese architectural style, with bright yellow lights illuminating every corner, and more than a dozen people dancing in it.

"Hahaha......"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"

"Hee-hee......-hee

All sorts of grotesque laughter came out of the mouths of these people, some exaggerated and loud, others whispered and laughing, mixed together, and seemed so ridiculous and bizarre.

What's even more confusing is that some people have laughed until their throats are hoarse, and even coughing, but they are still laughing as much as they can.

What is even more disturbing is that these people, although they are dressed in different attire, have painted themselves with an exaggerated smile on their faces in a mixture of white and red oil paint.

These people looked at Tang Juyi's intrusion, and they didn't look surprised at all, and they still let out the noisy laughter on their own.

[The people in this hall are doing some strange things, I don't know what the purpose is]

The narrator's female voice is still gentle like water, but it has inexplicably become eerie.

Staring at this scene like an absurd theater, Tang Juyi immediately found out the content that matched it from his memory, and couldn't help but gasp:

"I don't know what the purpose of the bullshit is, this is clearly the [Laughing Town Ritual] of Dark Zhi Curie, right?!"

For this laughing town ceremony, we have to start with a folk tradition in the Japanese countryside.

There is such a family, every once in a while, they need to gather the people of the family, return to the ancestral courtyard, and hold a "laughing town ceremony" when night falls.

Legend has it that the family has attracted a kind of goblin, which likes to feed on people's fear, resentment, and sorrow, and many people in the family have died in agony because they have been possessed by this goblin.

In order to deal with this evil creature, the family has a tradition of wearing exaggerated smiles, laughing all night long, and driving away the goblin with a celebratory atmosphere.

In the original story of "Dark Zhiju", the little boy who is the protagonist comes to his hometown in the countryside, and suddenly wakes up in the middle of the night to witness his relatives and elders holding this laughing town ceremony, and is also frightened by the strange behavior of the elders, so he is targeted by ghosts.

What happened to the little boy is, of course, like the protagonist in most of the stories of Dark Zhiju, that he will inevitably die, and it is used as a warning to others.

In the whole plot screen, the only place that involves ghosts is a hunting scene from the perspective of ghosts, which does not describe the appearance of ghosts, but it also makes this ghost seem more terrifying.

Fear stems from the unknown, and the unknown feeds on fear.

"That's not good...... There's no mention of how to fight the unknown goblin in that anime chapter...... And in the end, even if the whole family tried to laugh out loud, it couldn't stop the ghosts from preying on them, and even became infected by fear because of this......"

Tang Juyi's heart sank, and he felt full of pressure for this impending danger.

The ghosts in the center of Dark Zhi have no way to fight against them, so they can only avoid those taboos in order to avoid encountering ghosts. Even if you are targeted by ghosts, all kinds of deaths that transcend common sense will follow, which can be called the Japanese-style "Death is Coming" series.

It was precisely because of this that Tang Juyi felt even more troublesome. In his current state, let alone facing the incarnation of supernatural power, even if he faced an ordinary beast, he was afraid that he only had the ability to let it be slaughtered.

"But fortunately, you only need to suppress the fear to maintain a relatively safe state......

Tang Juyi breathed a sigh of relief, planning to blend in with the crowd of people who were holding ceremonies first, and then improvise according to the situation.

"Looking at the appearance of these people, the Laughing Town ceremony has been held for a while, and I don't know if it is like the original plot, there will be that little boy who suddenly breaks into ......"

Glancing around, Tang Juyi tried to distinguish whether this laughing town ceremony was as the plot in his memory.

[Shocked by the strange laughter of these people, Tang Juyi's heart faintly felt a terrifying atmosphere]

The female voice of the narrator slowly sounded at this time, but the content made Tang Juyi's face change drastically:

"What are you kidding?! Forcibly put me in the role of a 'scared' mortal character?! ”

When the narration sounded, Tang Juyi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a few beats, his pupils narrowed unconsciously, and even the blood flow inadvertently accelerated, and his body trembled slightly, like a natural reaction when he felt fear.

Not only that, but a completely uncontrollable sense of fear also came from an unknown place, eating away at Tang Juyi's reason little by little.

"Not only can you peep into my thoughts, but you can even forcibly interfere with my emotional ......"

Tang Juyi was shocked and angry, shocked by the change that had taken place in him. He never imagined that he would still step into the most dangerous realm when he already knew the plot.

"Damn, I was killed by the plot and arranged ......"

The fear in Tang Juyi's heart gradually grew under the arrangement of the narrator, and his teeth couldn't help but chatter, making a slight "gurgling" sound.

The whisper echoed in his ears like a whisper from the netherworld, making the chill in his body even stronger.

The vision in front of him was constantly flashing with strange shadows, constantly intensifying the changes in Tang Juyi's mood.

"Go back...... Gotta go back......"

The operation of his mind became sluggish under the domination of this fear, and Tang Juyi had to turn around and run in the direction of the original elevator door, trying to escape from this area.

However, the white wall completely cut off his back path.

The elevator is gone.

"I see, it's a near-nirvana......"

Clearly realizing that he had no room to escape, the fear in Tang Juyi's heart further expanded.

This kind of unwarranted fear is like an alien intruder, which obviously does not belong to Tang Juyi himself, but it has taken root in his spirit, and even sprouted and grown.

At the same time, outside the hall filled with loud laughter, there was a strange sound of rustling.

Tang Juyi turned his head away as if he was overreacting, staring at the wooden door, as if he wanted to see something through the door.

This glance made him look at a pair of immature eyes with fear.
