Chapter 139: Encounter Again Decades Later (Part 5)
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
It's the sound of clapping hands.
The air suddenly fell silent.
After a while, the voice of a little girl was heard.
"Hell, ghost, come and catch me~"
The girl's voice sounded young, with a certain lovely expectation, but it looked very cold and strange in the quiet atmosphere.
"Hell, ghost, come and catch me~"
The sound goes from left to right and back to left.
"A game of hide and seek?" Kiryu stood up.
Hide-and-seek games around the world are similar, where one person is a "ghost" to catch someone, while the others find a place to hide, and once they have it, they can't move.
But different places are different, and the nursery rhymes related to hide and seek are also different, but it's definitely hide and seek.
The voice was in this room, but he couldn't see its owner.
Probably in ...... Behind!
Kiryu took a few quick steps forward.
The sound was a little farther away.
"It seems that he is still a very honest ghost, but using the body of a ghost to hide and seek is it a bit of a violation?" Kiryu first-class opens the door.
The voice came again.
This time, it was as if he was speaking in his own ear: "Ghost, ghost......"
He could even feel the cold wind that the other person spat on his ear, and the subtle sound of saliva in his mouth that he could only hear when he spoke close to his ear.
"Smack!"
Kiryu's first-class arm was slightly sore, and he was caught!
He quickly took out the mirror fragments, but only had time to see a little girl in a kimono, and the figure of the other party flashed away.
"Gone."
He rolled up his sleeves, and the place where he had been caught just now had left a jet-black palm print.
"Hey, I've been tricked again!"
This old mansion was more troublesome than he thought.
"Guest, what are you?" The old man had already walked back and looked strangely at Kiryu first-class.
Could it be that the figure was hiding because the old man had returned?
Kiryu put down his sleeves and said, "It seems that there was a little girl in the family who was playing hide and seek with me just now, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye, I don't know if it was ......"
"How is that possible!" The old man shook his head and said, "I only have one child in my family, and I usually live by myself, and I haven't heard of anyone playing hide and seek for a long time." ”
She and Kiryu went back to the living room and sat down.
"Alas, in today's society, children like to play with those computers, mobile phones, and that kind of thing, maybe there is an era of living in an era, although we didn't have those things in that era, but life is still very happy." The old man fell into the memory: "Especially when I was young, I used to play hide and seek with my sister, and she ......"
The old man was silent.
"Where's your sister?" Kiryu asked.
"Actually, it's all my fault" The old man ended the silence: "That time we were playing hide and seek at home, my sister was a ghost, I hid, and we were really happy...... However, when she was blindfolded, she accidentally knocked over the oil lamp, and her sister was set on fire by the flames......"
"I was so scared that I left my sister and fled."
The old man lowered his head: "I've been thinking that if I hadn't left my sister behind, maybe she would have been saved." ”
"Is your sister wearing a red kimono and a sakura belt?" Kiryu recalls the scene he saw at the last minute of the mirror shard.
"Ah, isn't it!" The old man looked up sharply and looked at Kiryu in disbelief.
Kiryu nodded first-class: "Perhaps, the person who played hide and seek with me just now is your sister." ”
"She probably thinks that the game isn't over," Kiryu said, "I was burned to death while I was doing ghost hunting, so I will continue to play after I die, and I will continue to catch people." ”
"Please save my sister!" The old man knelt on the ground and pleaded sincerely: "She should not continue to be trapped in the game, she should have been freed and became a Buddha and went to heaven." ”
Kiryu didn't agree, but continued: "She keeps catching people, but every once in a while she lets people go, which shows that she has no intention of harming people, she just hopes that someone can complete the game." ”
"What should we do?" The old man asked anxiously.
Kiryu asked a little embarrassed, "Can you tell me the details of this game?" Like you said, I'm also a young person, and I play with my phone a lot, and I probably don't understand the rules of the game of hide and seek decades ago. ”
"Of course," the old man nodded, and began to explain the rules: "It's very simple, the ghost has to be blindfolded and wait quietly, while the person who is caught has to find a place to hide, clap his hands, sing a song and tell the "ghost" that he has been hidden and can start the game, and if he is caught by the ghost, he will replace the ghost to catch people." ”
"Really? That's good luck," Kiryu said with a smile, "I was caught by her, and now it's time for me to be a ghost according to the rules of the game." ”
"Is that okay?" The old man asked worriedly.
"Don't worry!"
Kiryu asked for the strip of cloth and blindfolded himself.
The old man clapped his palms as he asked.
"Smack"
"Smack"
"Smack"
In the house that had quieted down again, only the sound of the old man singing a ballad in a trembling voice.
"Hell, ghost, come and catch me~"
Kiryu is blindfolded, but of course he won't really be so stupid as to be blindfolded, leaving a gap underneath that allows him to see, and then placing a fragment of a mirror that can see a ghost underneath, using a reflective mirror image as an eye.
Living room, only old people.
He spun around slowly, but did not see the shadow of the ghost.
Pull open the door.
Kiryu went to the second room.
No.
While playing this game, there was still a Withdrawal Talisman hidden in the palm of the hand where he was holding the mirror shard, and everything had to be prepared for the worst.
The third room.
The old man's house was not too big, and as soon as he opened the door to the third room, Kiryu saw a black shadow in the corner.
A girl wearing a red kimono and a cherry blossom belt.
The mirror fragment moved up slightly.
It was a terrible face scorched by the flames, but the eyes and mouth were black and hollow.
She just stood motionless, staring at Kiryu quietly with her black eyeholes.
"Whew"
Kiryu took a deep breath and overcame the discomfort in his heart.
He took a few quick steps forward and reached out to grab the other man.
"Caught!" He shouted, and removed the strip of cloth that had blindfolded him.
Unlike the scary face in the mirror, if you look at it with a pair of eyes, this is a very cute girl in kimono.
At this time, the kimono girl was looking at Kiryu with expectant eyes, expecting him to say that.
"It's game over." Kiryu said.
There was the sound of staggering running from behind.
The old man who rushed over when he heard the sound asked in disbelief, "Is it my sister?" ”
The setting sun shines through the open door, flooding the room with golden sunlight.
The old man took two quick steps and came to the kimono girl.
The old man's eyes moistened: "I'm sorry, sister." ”
"It's my sister," the kimono girl complained with a smile as she stood on tiptoe and raised her hand to wipe the tears from the old man's eyes.
The old man's memories also seemed to travel back decades, back to before the catastrophe came.
She vaguely remembered that when she was a child, she fell and cried, and her sister helped herself up from the ground and wiped the tears from her face for herself.
The kimono girl's voice was choked, but there was a smile on her face: "Really, I'm so old, and I'm still crying." ”
The old man finally couldn't help it, knelt on the ground, hugged the kimono girl, and tears welled up.
