Chapter 9: The Black Room

This sentence made Chihiro almost fall: "Aren't you the housekeeper here, and there are other things you don't know?" ”

"This is a forbidden place, and it's beyond my authority."

This is the truth, his level is not enough, he can't touch the core of the forbidden land, and even now even the edge has been lost.

"But what if there's a murderous dog or some seated corpse behind the door?"

If there really is a vicious dog or something, she has difficulty moving, and she will be bitten to death in a few clicks?

"There won't be any danger." Hachi sometimes really admires her brain holes.

All 36 owners had gone in before, and there were some ordinary items inside. I haven't seen the living creature that Chihiro is worried about, as for the sitting bones...... Hachi isn't sure, this shouldn't be a living thing!

"It's all very common stuff, you go in and take a look, come out and tell me what you see."

Since Hachi said so, Chihiro didn't look like he was lying to himself, so she believed him.

"Okay, then I'm in!"

She took a deep breath and looked at Hachi again, then moved her crutches, tentatively reaching out until the crutches were halfway gone.

I scratched it twice, but I didn't touch anything. Maybe it's really like Hachi said that there is no danger, it's just an ordinary house.

She hesitated for a moment, then turned back to Hachi and said, "You can't go anywhere, you have to wait for me here!" ”

"Yes." His Qingyue's voice didn't fluctuate, but it also made Chihiro slightly relieved.

Although he can't go in with him, he can wait for her here, no matter how far he goes, as long as he turns around and sees him, that's enough.

Closing her eyes, Chihiro takes one step.

After taking two steps, she stopped, refusing to take any further step.

After listening quietly for a while, there was no sound or light except for her own heart, for her eyes had not felt any bright light since she stepped into it.

Another dark room?

The moment Hachi opened the gate of the forbidden land, it was also so dark inside the forbidden land, and later he found the touch switch on the wall and turned on the light.

She comforted herself that the forbidden place that was not tied to the boat should have not been used for a long time and no one had come, and she should find the light switch first. Thinking like this, she slowly opened her eyes with a slight confidence in her heart.

The black color that catches the eye is as thick as ink, and there is no light at all.

Generally speaking, the light switch is on the wall not far from the door. So she should be able to touch the wall as soon as she turns around.

In order to avoid tripping over something in the dark, she steadied herself and used her crutches to find her way little by little.

Knock knock knock...... The empty space repeated the sound of crutches hitting the ground, striking the tip of her heart.

Strange, even though she realized that it might be a big empty place, she shouldn't have walked for a long time without encountering a wall.

She didn't know how far she had walked, but she stopped, trying to expand the scope of the path, but she still didn't encounter anything.

She shouldn't be able to go far, right? She had taken several steps back, but why hadn't she reached the wall?

Her instincts sounded the alarm again, and something was wrong with the forbidden place that was not tied to the boat. In an instant, her heart jumped to her throat.

The left and right sides of the door are walls, is it a little off-direction? Holding back the fear in her heart, she immediately changed direction.

The round head of the cane kept tapping on the ground, making a crisp thumping sound, and there was still nothing.

She didn't want to do anything anymore, the endless blackness made her tremble, and now she just wanted to leave this place that terrified her.

"Hachi, Hachi!" She shouted, trying to get her bearings and try to get back to where she started.

This should be the place, this is where she opened her eyes.

With her bearings in mind, she stepped forward again.

It should be, there should be no mistake, she stretched out her crutches without giving up and trembled, and continued to walk for a distance.

Why haven't you gone out yet? There shouldn't be anything wrong with the direction.

Thinking of the direction, a blast of blood suddenly hit the brain, shaking the whole brain buzzing.

Her brain was hot, painful, and dizzy.

Direction...... Both sides feel right and which side feels wrong, and Chihiro can't tell the difference.

She was stunned, her voice was crying, and she called out tremblingly: "Little Eight! Hachi! Where are you?"

She wanted to hear Hachi's response, just like the first time in his sleep, when he led her out of the blood swamp in a cold voice.

Hachi is her hope!

"There's nothing here, it's so dark here, Hachi, I want to get out!"

"Hachi, where are you?" Fear made her voice more and more miserable.

"Hachi!"

"Hachi!"

She couldn't take it anymore, and the great fear in her heart swallowed up the last of her composure and sanity, and she cried.

"Help me, who can help me?"

Just as her eyes were blurred with tears and she was shouting and screaming, the crutches in her hand slipped and could not support her weight, and she sat down with her ass.

There is no pain, the underside of the buttocks is soft.

At the same time, a view suddenly appeared in front of me.

The smell of dry earth, wood, iron, and human sweat was mixed in the air, and it was a terrible smell.

She pinched her nose for a while, and the depletion of oxygen in her chest made her can't help but take a few big breaths, and also sucked in the tears that rolled to the corners of her mouth.

Her throat was sore and itchy, her eyes were dry and astringent, and she seemed to have been crying for a long time.

The moonlight filtered through the crack in the door and left a silver pillar on the ground, illuminating a small area of the doorway.

After looking around carefully, except for a basket of tricolor volleyballs that happened to be within the range of the moonlight, she really couldn't make out what the rest of the dark shadows in the darkness were.

It should be some ordinary sports equipment!

Light gave Chihiro a little courage, and she touched the cushion under her buttocks, rubbing her liquid-stained hand against it.

Students in PE class during the day piled up sit-ups and sat on them as if they were sitting on a couch.

For some reason, it felt familiar to her.

She rubbed her temples, the effects of the brain congestion still lingering, but her sanity had finally returned.

Suddenly, there was a sound of earth tide music at the door, from far and near.

"Ah~ I asked you, ah~ I hate you. Where is your conscience? ”

Someone must have come, she wiped her tears and stood up.

Originally, I wanted to look for the crutch first, but my feet didn't obey the call and ran straight to the door.

Only then did she realize that something was wrong, she could run effortlessly, and her size and outfit had changed.

Yes, the sight line is noticeably much shorter.

The loose school uniform covered her petite body, and her shoulder-length hair turned into short hair, probably a little long, and she felt that the ends of her hair were a little tied to her neck.

"Anyone?" She cracked through the door, desperately trying to see who was outside.
