The next few days.

The evil spirit on the phone, Miss Mary, fully showed Kamiyagawa what it means to be weird.

Every night at 10:15, the famous weird man called Kamiyagawa without moving.

Then half past ten. Mary arrived at the door of Hualing High School on time and would politely inform her in advance on the other end of the phone:

"Hello, I'm Miss Mary. I'm at the gate of Hanaling High School right now. ”

Every night, every time.

Not a minute or a second without postponement and advance.

Kamiyagawa has had an inexplicable illusion in the past two days, as if he has been dating a girl with a strong sense of time every night recently.

It's just that the content of daily dating may not be so easy for ordinary people to accept, and Kamiyagawa himself doesn't particularly like it.

……

"Hello, I'm Miss Mary. I'm right behind you. ”

The huge butcher's knife that shimmered with cold light slashed down from top to bottom.

Clean and neat, without the slightest emotion.

With the death reminder of [Fate], Kamiyagawa's consciousness returned to reality again.

Hanabell High School at night is quiet.

In the cherry blossom forest, where the branches are gone, only the faint chirping of insects sounds.

But this calm was soon broken by the noisy ringtone of the mobile phone -

"♪大husband、いつか大husband になる,なんて思う日々を幾つ重ねた,Todayだって独り東京の景色に透ける僕は,幽霊みたいだ" ♪

It's the number that's already familiar.

Mary's call.

As before, there is no need for Kamiyagawa to operate, and the call is automatically connected.

On the other end of the line was a young female voice that was so cold that it seemed to have no human emotion: "Hello, I'm Miss Mary. I'm tired today, and I'll come back to you this time tomorrow. ”

Doodle.

After saying a word, the phone hung up.

"It's the sixth time."

Kamiyagawa was a little numb, he patted the dust stuck to his clothes, and stood up from the edge of the cherry blossom forest, with a look of lovelessness.

Six days.

Do you know how I spent these six days?

I was slashed every night by Mary with a machete as tall as someone tall!

Moreover, every time Miss Mary hacked herself to death in the strange talk world, she would make a phone call to make an appointment for tomorrow's trip.

"So when will she let me go, cut like this every day, can't you get tired of playing?"

Won't your eyes be dry?

Buzzing.

When Kamiyagawa was still doubting his life by the cherry blossom forest, his phone vibrated and a message popped up.

is a system prompt for Strange Tales of Things.

Kamiyagawa couldn't help but shrink his neck, he was a little bit of a PTSD by the notification of this garbage game.

Every time "Strange Tales of Things" pops a notification, it will be fine.

[Ling's character has a new status.] ]

Click on the [Personal Information] column, and the [Mary's Curiosity] in the state has disappeared, and has been replaced by a new entry-

[Miss Mary wants to play]

[It's so much fun!] It's so much fun! Miss Mary thinks that you, who will never really die no matter how you kill, are her most suitable playmate! ]

[But the time for happiness is always short.] Miss Mary wants to prolong this pleasure, and she wants to play with you hard. ]

[Miss Mary hopes that the next time we play together, you'll be able to run.] She chases, you flee, and you can't fly. ]

"Is it okay to play hard with me?"

Kamiyagawa couldn't complain about anything, and after reading the new entry carefully from beginning to end, he roughly understood the meaning of his recent fixed date.

The feelings of humans and ghosts are not the same.

Kamiyagawa didn't have any fun in the process of "playing" with Mary.

But Miss Mary didn't get tired of playing at all, and even felt that she didn't have enough fun and wanted to extend the time of a single play.

Like a cat that teases its prey when hunting, the evil spirit on the phone hopes that he will be able to resist a few times before he is killed next time.

"What kind of bad woman am I provoking?"

Kamiyagawa wanted to cry a little without tears.

But on second thought, it's not unacceptable for Miss Mary to want to extend the length of a single play.

As long as she doesn't think about playing with herself twice a day, other things ......

Already, it doesn't matter.

……

At ten o'clock the next morning, Kamiyagawa logged into the game at the school.

There are only 14 days left before Hanako completes her visit.

Because now every night the dead paper man will be fixed by Miss Mary, and the opportunity to enter the game during the day is precious.

The third floor of the west side of the teaching building.

Kamiyagawa went deep into this boss area again this morning.

Counting the swordsmanship experience obtained from hanging up with the Red Oni Teacher before, Kamiyagawa's current proficiency level [Notai Sword Self-Manifestation Stream] already has nearly 700 experience points.

There are still 300 points left to level up.

Relying on the hang-up to take this part of the missing experience, some are too reluctant.

Therefore, Kamiyagawa intends to seek wealth and danger.

The last time I saw Hanako, he played exceptionally in the face of adversity, and forcibly killed Hanako's father with the help of the mysteries he realized on the spot.

I took advantage of this to eat a lot of skill experience.

"If only I could replicate the experience I had last time. I should be able to calmly take the self-manifest flow swordsmanship to the next level before Hanako completes her visit. ”

After all, it is the only reliable combat skill he has at hand, and Kamiyagawa still attaches great importance to the level increase of [Wild Taidao Self-Manifestation Flow].

The familiar cramped women's toilet.

As before, there are five toilet cubicles, four of which are open, and the third where Hanako is located is closed.

Hanako's father in the first room has been killed by Kamiyagawa, and now it is empty, leaving only two, four, five, and three, and Hanako's mother, sister, and brother are sitting in turn.

"What's the matter with looking for our Hanako?"

"Find my sister, what's the matter?"

Similar to the last boss battle performance, Hanako's family stood up on the toilet like marionettes, twisted and swayed, and stepped out like marionettes.

Kamiyagawa is also ready for battle.

Holding the [blood-stained wood knife], the three-foot fight is ready to go.

Leap over the distance, the blade splits the ......

Before a set of silky small combos could be fully unleashed, Kamiyagawa suddenly felt his shoulders sink.

It was as if something so heavy had fallen from the ceiling and hugged him tightly from the back.

"In、of、Oh~"

A slightly playful, eerie little girl's voice rang in his ears.

Kamiyagawa could even feel that the speaker was blowing into his ear. There were unfamiliar strands of hair, accompanied by the sound of speech, rubbing against his collar and neck.

Submit.

I saw a pair of white and immature little hands, hugging his chest from behind.

An ominous black aura visible to the naked eye was rising from these hands.

Kamiyagawa still couldn't figure out what the thing that fell from the ceiling on him was.

Ghost doll Hanako!

This boss didn't stay in the third toilet cubicle honestly, but hung on the ceiling early and waited for himself!

Poor breathing.

The air in the lungs seemed to be squeezed out in an instant, and the skin on the strangled chest turned purple and black.

After being held by Hanako from behind, Kamiyagawa lost his ability to fight and fell softly forward.

"What's the matter?"

"What's the matter?" "What's the matter?"

Her vision began to blur, and all that remained in her ears was the repetition of Hanako's family's repeater.
