This time to participate in the eighteen-day trip of the horror, Yukiko is still a regular kimono and body, her face is overly powdered, her lips are scarlet and her eyebrows are drawn with charcoal, but there is no longer a wooden expression on her face when she is alone or staying in the dormitory, but with a faint smile on the corner of her lips. [See the latest chapter of the book]

Such a Yukiko harvest was amazed by the Japanese men who came to travel together. This situation made Rowling and I look at each other, and Rowling lowered her voice and told me that she didn't understand the aesthetics of Japanese men.

Stepping on the desert island together, I looked at Yukiko, who was walking in front of her with food and water on her back and stepping on clogs, and shook my head in the eighteen-day trip to the desert island, whether Yukiko could continue to maintain a neat and tidy state in which the kimono was not wrinkled and her hair was not messy at all.

Rowling took my hand and wrinkled her face, saying that she wanted to regret the medicine for a bucket, and that after paying for it, she was just given food and water and left to fend for herself on a desert island for 18 days, which made her feel wronged. Winter break reversed.

Glancing at Rowling, I said that if she really didn't like to stay on this desert island for so long, I said that if she really didn't like to stay on this desert island for so long. I can accompany her and leave while the boat is gone.

Rowling immediately shook her head repeatedly, saying that the travel agency had made it clear that it would not refund the money when she paid the money, and she would feel even more wronged if she left now.

Jesse picked up at this time, saying that since it was a terrifying eighteen-day trip, it must be a lot of excitement in these eighteen days, and that Rowling's idea of being wronged was redundant, and we would definitely be able to harvest unexpected surprises on this desert island.

Jesse's words sparked Rowling's affection, and Rowling said that she hoped so, and began to study the desert island map we had with Jesse.

The desert island surrounded by sea is huge, and if you don't refer to the natural phenomenon of the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, you will definitely lose your way.

The map we got was a simple route map of a desert island starting from where we disembarked, if we got lost in the ancient woods of the desert island. There is no way back from such a road map.

At this time, I finally understood why when we set off from Tokyo, the travel agency repeatedly emphasized that the people who could gather themselves at the starting point marked on the map after the eighteen days were the real warriors, and the co-authorship was because the rate of getting lost here was too high.

The more we walked according to the temporary place of our eighteen days marked on the map, the road conditions became more and more difficult.

There is no real road on this deserted island, and there are weeds, wild flowers, and countless ancient trees everywhere. Walking on this desert island, you can see animals flashing from time to time, but those animals are not aggressive.

When you enter this ancient forest, the light dims, and the ancient forest in the middle of the day is already like the light at nightfall. [A lot of good novels]

Because the place where we pass is overgrown with weeds, there are many ancient trees that protrude out of the intertwined roots, and we must pay attention to walking so as not to fall, plus Rowling and Jesse, who are both curious about everything, and have to study it, plus the weight of food and water, our speed is pitiful.

By the time we finally found our temporary home, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon.

The temporary residence that appeared in front of us was a small two-story building made of wood, the first floor of the small building was empty, and it was obvious that the second floor was the room prepared for us by the travel agency.

Rowling and Jesse were the first to go up the stairs, and I was at the back of the line.

I only felt a flash of eyes when I saw that Yukiko was only slightly stained with mud on the clogs after passing the bad road before, and it was still as clean as new and steady.

If I had to walk on clogs and with weights, I had just walked. I guess I'll be sitting on the stairs tired.

Arrive at the room on the second floor. I saw four tatami mats in the room, with all the bedding and a long table by the window.

When Rowling and Jesse entered the room, they threw their backpacks and threw themselves at the tatami mats, saying that their legs were almost broken by the weight of the journey.

Seeing Yukiko stepping on clogs, she walked to a tatami mat in small steps, and sat down with great attention to the image after putting her backpack aside with gentle movements.

I lit a candle to dispel the darkness in the room, then walked to the empty tatami mat in the room, took off my backpack and lay down on top of the tatami mat.

After resting for a while, Rowling also screamed that she was hungry, and after we had used food and water together, Rowling said that in order to match the frightening theme of the tour, let Jesse and Yukiko tell some Japanese ghost stories.

As Rowling's words came out, Jesse's eyes flashed slightly, and Yukiko began to look wooden again.

Rowling got up and closed the doors and windows, then ran over to me and sat down, urging Jesse and Yukiko to hurry up and start talking.

Jesse glanced at Yukiko and said that she should go first, lest she be scared of telling ghost stories for a while and have to hold back all night.

Rowling covered her mouth and laughed, saying that it was better for Jesse to be convenient on the spot, and Jesse said that she hated it, so she opened the door again and took the flashlight distributed by the travel agency to go down to the first floor.

When Jesse returned to the room, Rowling left urging her to hand over the ghost story immediately.

Jesse said that it is not fun to tell ghost stories alone, it is better for everyone to participate and take turns to tell ghost stories, and said that he believes that there are more and more interesting ghost stories in China.

I noticed that when Jesse finished saying these words, Yukiko, who had been sitting with a wooden expression down her eyes, looked up at Jesse and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Rowling says it's a good idea, and asks Jesse who will talk about it first.

Jesse says that she needs to prepare some things before she can match the ghost story, and Rowling tells Jesse to hurry up and say that she can't wait to feel the horror atmosphere.

Jesse took out a large heavy sheet from her backpack and began to use the nail to split the room in half from the doorway to the inside, and when it came time to start telling ghost stories, everyone needed to concentrate in the inner space of the room.

Rowling gave Jesse a hand, saying that such sheets are really good at shading, and the space in the room is pitch black.

I sat on the tatami mat and watched Jesse and Rowling go about their work, and my eyes glanced at Yukiko, who didn't help like me, and I saw that Yukiko was thoughtful at the moment.

I don't understand if Jesse is going to such a great deal of trouble just to add to the atmosphere of the ghost story, I can't help but think of the pen fairy who is often played in domestic dormitories, and this thought makes me frown, I don't want to make trouble for no reason.

I got up from the tatami mat and walked over to Jesse and Rowling to be silent as I watched what Jesse would do next.

After the heavy sheets had split the room in two, Jesse began to gather all the white candles we had brought, lit a hundred white candles on the long table by the window, and placed a small mirror on it.

After finishing this, Jesse clapped her hands and pointed to the candle lit on the table, and explained the rules of the game to me and Rowling, who were standing next to her.

Jesse said that after the four of us in the room took turns telling a ghost story, they had to leave their seats and walk here in the dark to blow out a candle and shine their faces in the mirror to get back to their original position, and then replace the next person.

In the process of blowing out the candles after telling the ghost story, the next person will continue to tell the ghost story, which means that once the ghost story starts, it cannot be stopped.

Jesse smiled sweetly and asked me if there was anything I didn't understand.

Staring at Jesse in front of me, I nodded slightly, and Rowling nodded in explanation before raising her voice to ask if Yukiko, who was alone in the other half of the room at the moment, understood.

Yukiko was silent for a while, and then replied.

Jesse and Rowling and I sat down in the dark space with no light in the inner half, and Rowling, who was sitting next to me and holding my arm, asked which one would be a good start.

Yukiko glanced up at Jesse and Rowling at me at this time, and said that since you want to play, it is better to draw lots.

I saw that when Yukiko glanced at me and Jesse and Rowling, lingering on Jesse for a little longer, Jesse's lips were smiling strangely in the dark.

What I saw in front of me made me feel uncomfortable, and I said wait, and asked Jesse and Yukiko what the game had to say, there are not many gamers in Japan.

In the dark, Yukiko looked at me and said that this game is very popular in Japan, and it is called Hyakki Lantern.

Yukiko's words came out, and Rowling, who was holding my arm, shuddered and interrupted Yukiko's words that the name was a little more terrifying.

Jesse immediately laughed and said that it was just a terrible name, but in fact, it was just to add to the horror atmosphere.

After Jesse picked up Rowling's words, Yukiko was silent, took out the paper from her backpack and marked the sequence number, and then clumped the paper into a paper ball.

After Yukiko was done with this, she put the paper balls in a vertical line on the ground in front of her, turned on the flashlight and shone the paper balls on the ground, saying that everyone could come to her side to draw lots.

Jesse was the first to go over to draw lots and open them on the spot, and after she caught the number one, Rowling asked Jesus to help her draw the lot, and Jesus won the number two for her.

I sat still, and Yukiko glanced at me again and picked up one of the two remaining paper balls on the ground and opened it, saying that her paper ball was number three.

Rowling sat down next to me at the return point, took my arm again and said that I was number four, and urged Jesse to hurry up.

As Yukiko's flashlight turns off and the half-space where a few of us are in is plunged into darkness again, Jesse begins to tell ghost stories.

I frowned as Jesse began to tell the ghost story.

Before I came to Japan, I had only heard from my grandmother about the general knowledge of Japanese ghost culture, and I had heard a few Japanese legends about water, but I didn't know the rest at all.

Yukiko said that this game is called Hyakki Lantern, but because of Rowling's interrupted words, Yukiko is not speaking, and what Jesse said is just the name of the game, but in fact, it is just to add to the horror atmosphere, and the authenticity remains to be studied.

I wondered what strange things would happen when all the candles on the long table in the room were extinguished.

While I was in a state of flux, Jesse had finished her short story and got up from the tatami mat to the other side of the room, and as soon as Jesse got up from the tatami mat, Rowling began to tell the ghost stories she knew, according to the rules of the game.
