Chapter 519: Hundred Ghost Lamps (2)
I know that there are a lot of games that can't be stopped once they start, and I'm already stuck in the game, so I can only sit back and wait for things to develop. [To see the latest chapter of this book, please go to ()]
As Rowling told the ghost story, her face turned pale and her eyes looked around in horror.
I couldn't help but shake my head when I saw Rowling's reaction, she was the one who told the ghost story tonight. She was the most timid of the four.
Rowling's ghost story had barely been told, and Jesse had returned to the darkness again, and I could see her as excited as if she had been beaten.
After Rowling finished telling the ghost story, Yukiko started to tell the next ghost story, and Rowling got up from me to follow the rules of the game to extinguish the candles and look in the mirror.
When Rowling returned, I saw that Rowling's face was so pale that her lips trembled.
I waited for Rowling to sit down next to me, patted her hand and whispered to her what was wrong, Rowling trembled and grabbed my arm, saying it was nothing. It's a scary thing to say that it's just to see your face in the mirror in a terrifying atmosphere.
"Otherwise, do you want to see another face in the mirror?" My eyes were on Yukiko, who was telling a ghost story.
Yukiko, who was telling a ghost story, spoke in a slow and low tone, and her expression was solemn with respect.
My current level of Japanese is not enough for me to understand what Yukiko is talking about, and I raised my eyebrows when I saw Yukiko's expression.
I know that in Japan, oni is a branch of the gods, and among the oni and youkai that are called yokai by the Japanese, oni is more revered by the Japanese.
After coming to Japan for a few days, I learned from Wang that Japanese ghost culture is particularly famous. However, among the younger generation of Japan, there are not a few people who only regard the festival as a lively thing, and the game of horror games and watching ghost movies as a mental stimulation and disrespect for ghosts and demons.
At this moment, Yukiko in front of her obviously belongs to a type of person who has great respect for ghosts and demons.
"Xiao Ran, you are so bad, it is really scary to look in the mirror alone by the white candle at night." Rowling wrinkled bitterly.
Hearing Rowling's words, I reached out and patted her hand again and began to prepare my ghost story.
There is no need to make up ghost stories that are hearsay. I only need to tell my own personal experience to cover a hundred ghost stories tonight.
I didn't know what would happen after a hundred ghost stories were told, so I decided that I should tell the ghost stories more slowly and longer.
After Yukiko finished telling the ghost story, I started telling my ghost story.
I saw Yukiko get up from her seat and glance at me meaningfully before stepping on her clogs and walking to the other side of the room.
Yukiko's meaningful glance reminded me that I was the fourth ghost storyteller among us, and that I was bound to be the hundredth ghost storyteller, and that the last candle of the hundred ghost lamps was bound to be extinguished by me.
What will happen when the last candle is extinguished, and what will happen to the person who extinguished the last candle, I am nervous as I tell ghost stories.
Yukiko soon returned, sat back in her previous position, and listened attentively to my ghost story. The clogs that looked down at her.
There was silence in the room. I was the only one telling the thrilling ghost story in a flat tone, and Jesse seemed to be listening carefully, and Rowling's body was stiff as she held my arm.
When I had finally finished my first ghost story, I got up from my seat according to the rules of the game and went to the other side of the house to extinguish the candles and look in the mirror.
Entering the other side of the house, I saw three extinguished white candles poured on the table top, and the rest of the candles that were burning did not show any abnormality.
The table, candles, and mirrors were all out of sight, but at the moment there were three more ghosts on this side of the room out of thin air.
The three ghosts were standing against the wall with their heads bowed in kimonos, and when I came over, the three ghosts just looked up at me and hung their heads again.
Is this game of 100 ghost lanterns to summon ghosts, and the final result is to summon 100 ghosts, I guessed in my heart at the same time, and I was surprised that I was in the same room and I didn't feel the ghosts of the three ghosts on the other side at all.
I glanced at the three ghosts and walked over to the long table, extinguished a candle and laid it flat on the table, and reached for the mirror on the table.
As I looked in the mirror, I sensed that there was something ghostly in the room.
When I looked in the mirror and turned around, I saw another ghost in the room.
The newly added ghosts lowered their heads and stood side by side against the wall with the three ghosts that had already arrived before, and the four ghosts were all at the level of Yin Spirits.
Time passed, the story continued, as the candles on the long table were extinguished one by one, the ghosts in the house continued to increase, and at some point, a strong wind blew outside, and the whining wind almost suppressed the sound of storytelling in the house.
When I went to the other side of the room again to extinguish the candles, I saw that the other side of the room was already full of ghosts.
And because of the strong wind, the wind blew through the cracks in the window, and the candles lit on the long table near the window were automatically extinguished.
Because there were a lot of ghosts on the other side of the room, I didn't know if there were five more ghosts in the room as the five candles went out, and I knew that because the candles were extinguished by the wind, Yukiko had become the one who extinguished the last remaining candle.
After extinguishing the candle and looking in the mirror to see another ghost in the room, I returned to my original seat, and I saw Jesse go to extinguish the candle again and come back with a wandering look in his eyes, and Yukiko went to extinguish the candle again and came back with a paler face.
I tried to delay as much time as I could in telling ghost stories, each of my ghost stories lasted about half an hour, but the ghosts in the room were still there until there were still twenty candles left on the long table.
I couldn't see the sky outside through the closed doors and windows, and the ghosts in the house were still there, which meant that it was not yet bright, which made me suspect that time in the house was still.
Because Jesse and Yukiko didn't say that the dark side couldn't be lit before the game started, I took out the phone in my pocket and opened it, and I was stunned to find that the time on the phone was frozen at 0:00.
Glancing at the dark side at the moment, Rowling and Jesse and Yukiko saw that Rowling continued to fall into deep fear, Jesse's forehead was already cold sweat, and Yukiko tensed her body.
Once again it was my turn to extinguish the candles and look in the mirror, and when I saw that there were only three candles left on the long table after I had extinguished the candles, I wrinkled my forehead.
The Hundred Ghost Lights are about to all go out, and what will happen in the end is unforeseeable.
Extinguishing the candle and looking back into the mirror, I glanced at Jesse, whose voice trembled slightly, telling ghost stories, and then at Yukiko, who clenched her fists, and I asked Yukiko softly if there was any possibility of a pause in the rules of the game.
Yukiko shook her head and said that she couldn't pause and had to put out all the candles, saying that she had always only known about the Hundred Ghost Lantern Game, but in fact, it was the first time she had played this Hundred Ghost Lantern Game.
Seeing Yukiko's nervous appearance, I knew that she should be right, and I quickly asked her to tell me what would happen when the last candle was extinguished.
Yukiko met my gaze, her eyes flashing with fear, and she began to answer my questions.
Yukiko said that the game of Hyakki Lantern has been around for a long time, and its rules are very similar from the beginning to the present, but before people lit a hundred wicks in the lamp oil, and the game can be suspended at any time.
Normally, people will pause the game at the end of the ninety-ninth ghost story and when only the last wick is left in the oil, and the last wick will continue to be lit, and then everyone will continue to sit around and wait for the dawn until the sun comes out and they will disband and go home.
It is said that if the last wick of the hundredth ghost story is extinguished, strange things will happen.
No one knew exactly what was going to happen, and no one had dared to touch the taboo.
When the candle replaces the oil and wick, the number of people playing the game begins to increase, and there is no longer any way to pause the game, the last candle must be blown out, and the game will stand still until 0:00 once it starts.
It is said that if the game is suspended, the people present will no longer be able to get out of that space, and time will continue to stay at 0:00.
No one dares to pause when playing this game with candles instead of lamp oil and wicks, and once the game starts, everyone will bite the bullet and finish the game.
It is said that if the game is not paused, when the last candle is extinguished, two things will happen, either an extremely powerful and brutal ghost will be summoned, or nothing will happen.
If an extremely brutal ghost is summoned, the person who extinguishes the last candle will be killed on the spot by the ghost.
Although the ghost will not kill the remaining participants, it will do its best to frighten the remaining people, and if the frightened people are not brave enough, they will be scared to death on the spot or frightened to madness. Winter break to find talent.
The ghosts will not leave until they have frightened the remaining people, and the ghosts summoned from the Hundred Ghost Lantern Game will be the ones who will be the party after leaving.
The game of 100 ghost lanterns was completed by replacing the wick of candle oil with candles, and so far, only once has an extremely powerful and brutal ghost been summoned, and nothing else has happened.
It is said that the only ghost that has been summoned from the Hyakki Lantern game has been sealed, but it is unknown which ghost made the seal and where the ghost was sealed.
Although the game is very dangerous, people are happy to find mental stimulation.
People play this game with a fluke mentality, fear and hope that nothing will happen when the last candle is extinguished.
Yukiko was silent and stared at her clogs after speaking, Rowling hugged my arm tightly and shook like chaff, and Jesse, who was telling ghost stories, couldn't help wiping the sweat droplets on his face with his sleeve.
