24. Five senses deception
"Blanching ......"
Reki was frightened by this sudden appearance of the face, and couldn't help but say something uncivil.
The windows of the hot spring inn are made of paper paste, which feels like gauze to the touch, and the texture is light and thin, and it has a certain amount of light transmission and air permeability, and you can barely see the outline of things outside through the window paper.
In the same way, if the outside is close to the window, the people inside can see it clearly.
The faces on the window paper were covered in flowing blood, and there was almost no clean skin, which was a horrific appearance. The face leaned close to the window paper and began to rub it.
The grinding sound of rustling, mixed with the crunch of the wooden door hinge, is particularly clear and annoying in the silence of the night.
The twisted features made a moist and sticky sound as they rubbed, like someone stirring the flesh of a wound with a sharp blade. The pungent smell of blood seeped through the cracks in the doors and windows and hit Riji's cheeks.
A pair of blood-stained hands pressed against the door frame, and then the door panel shook with a strange force, and the hinge was deformed in tugging and shaking, and it was about to collapse inside.
Ruiji grabbed the knife and pulled it out a third of the way, only to remember that there was a warning rune at the door to detect abnormal power fluctuations. If any strange story had approached and tried to get inside, the runes would have exploded.
The witch lying next to her couldn't wake up, and she didn't hear any movement. There are calf-thick ropes on the outside of the hot spring inn, and they are sturdy, and this room is safe.
"actually lured me to leave voluntarily through [Five Senses Deception], and almost fell in love with her."
It should be said that it is worthy of being a strange talk that people have become, and it is really smarter than a low-level strange talk that has no ability to think and only knows how to attack according to instinct. This kind of strange talk inherits the human way of thinking, and it can also predict human predictions, which is somewhat difficult to deal with.
The five senses are divided into shape, sound, smell, taste and touch, which correspond to the human senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch.
There are many ways to attack strange tales, and deceiving witches and ordinary people is just one of the five senses. For example, the "Siren Siren" in ancient times is actually a strange story that exists in the ocean, and by deceiving the sense of sight and hearing, the purpose of making the ship run aground on the rock.
Strange stories in the sea are usually formed by witches or people who die on the beach, and their resentment and obsession cannot be dissolved.
Five Senses Deception is a way to influence a target even when the person being talking about it is not around. Figuring out what happened, Riki was less afraid.
The intense hallucinations and auditory hallucinations lasted only a few minutes, and the cacophony of shaking the door panels and the strong smell of blood disappeared into the night, and everything was so peaceful.
The window paper was as clean as when I first checked into the room, and there was not a trace of blood.
“……”
Ruiji wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and opened the novel with peace of mind.
Then nothing happened, and when I stayed up until half past four, and my eyelids almost couldn't open, Yue's mobile phone rang an alarm. The singing in the early hours of the morning was a bit oozing, and Ruiji, who was flipping through the book, was jumped again.
“Oh darling! Don't you know ? Don't you know life's so sweet……”
This song is in the classic Showa era style, and the singer sings sweetly, which is indeed very suitable for the first song of the day. It's just that such a beautiful song is used as an alarm clock, and I won't want to listen to it again in the future.
People always think of the fear of being dominated by that song, of getting out of bed.
"Early ......"
Yue pressed the alarm clock, immediately sat up from the bed, rubbed his eyes, and the first thing he did was to check the revolver nest. The 12 bullets inside all lay quietly in their positions and did not move, everything was normal.
Being scared by strange talk didn't matter, at best it was a trivial episode that was not worth mentioning, and Ruiji didn't take the time to talk about it, laying out her quilt and pushing the diaries and novels that she had read once to the moon's pillow.
"This is what I found last night, and there are quite a few clues in it. Although the writing of the novel is not very good, it is not bad to pass the time. I slept, good night. ”
"You look like you're going to faint from exhaustion, so you'd better rest right away."
The moon turns the lights down to create an environment that is easy to fall asleep in. Ruiji's mental strength is severely overdrawn and needs a continuous period of sleep to replenish it.
The tatami mat lay comfortably, and there was also a reliable witch vigil next to her, who held her taidao and closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep within a few minutes.
The first awakening when I came to the witch world was more peaceful than expected.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Ruiji was woken up by the moon.
The lights in the bedroom had been turned off, and the door was lit up, and the dim night was replaced by a clear day. The sky is blue and cloudless, and it is a rare good weather.
The dead silence of the hot spring inn was changed, and there was not only the sound of people talking, but also the sound of footsteps walking back and forth. The wooden corridor was trampled back and forth by someone for some reason, and the sound was hurried.
"What's going on outside?"
"Yes. At dawn, a girl in a kimono stood at the door and said something funny. ”
"What?"
"Isn't it funny that she said, 'Boss, why don't you sleep in the room instead of sleeping in the room?'"
"It's not fun at all."
Inexplicably becoming the owner of a hot spring inn will only make people unbelievable, after all, it is not a hot spring hotel in reality, and everything in the strange talk is not counted.
The girl said that her name was Asakura, that she was an employee of the hot spring inn, and that there were several other girls who also worked here. Finally, she asked if we wanted to have breakfast. ”
"You dare to eat breakfast made by the people in the strange talk?"
"There's nothing you dare, eat the undead witch anyway."
The moon gets up and opens the door, allowing the outside sunlight and air to enter the room together. The two pairs of clogs outside the door were neatly placed and had not moved an inch. Ruiji puts on one of these pairs and returns to the hotel lobby with Tsuki.
On the way, they met a young girl dressed in a uniform kimono.
The hotel, which was empty last night, suddenly had a lot more people, and even the lobby was full of travelers preparing to check in, so it was impossible to get used to it all at once.
Some witches wear tight clothes and short skirts, high heels, long curly hair, and large earrings, and some witches wear loose suits, ranging from retro to trendy.
Ruiji can't get the charm of wearing it like this, so I don't make an evaluation.
On the wall of the hotel is a wall calendar, dated 9 November 1993. 9 is a number that is taboo in the Japanese, and something unlucky may happen today.
The girl who claimed to be Asakura was in the lobby, and when she saw Ruiji and Tsuki, she first bowed and saluted, and then introduced herself to the guests, "These two are the owners of Oyu no Sui. Boss, breakfast is ready, it's in the dining room, do you need me to bring it to you? ”
