As soon as it is 10 o'clock, it becomes especially lively outside the door. It sounded like dozens of people were pacing outside, their footsteps making a loud noise, and the wooden floor was "clattering".

A shadow with a rickety figure on crutches dangled to the door, and the sound of crutches hitting the ground was extremely clear and rhythmic in the dark night. The shadow raised his hand and knocked on the door, asking, "Is anyone there?" and knocked a few more times when no one responded.

The old man's voice had an indescribable eerie aura, cold and sticky, like a resentful spirit crawling out of a crypt where the dead were buried, and he was so excited in the face of the living that he couldn't wait to talk to them.

The smell of corruption and slaughter seeped through the cracks in the door, not only the smell of blood, but also the smell of earth and seawater, mixed with many disgusting ingredients.

The candle attached to the bed frame strives to emit a light fragrance and fight the disturbing smells and sounds.

There was no wind in the house, but the candles kept flickering. If you cover the candle with something, the aroma of burning will not be dispersed, and the candle will be useless, so you can only extinguish it and light it again.

"Is anyone in there?"

The "person" who knocked on the door paced at the door, knocking on the door again and again, asking in a pleasant voice.

Riki and Tsuki were indifferent and pretended not to hear. After several attempts to no avail, the "man's" voice became a little impatient, and changed from knocking on the door to knocking on the door.

"Do you really not open the door? I'm angry. ”

The bedroom door was slammed with unprecedented force by something outside, and those who didn't know thought that the two of them owed 100 million yen to Jidao and couldn't pay it back, and they were violently collected for debts and coerced by force.

This is not the case.

"Don't hide inside and keep quiet, I know you're home-"

The constant knocking on the door was annoying, and the voices became more and more shrill and harsh. Ruiji was overwhelmed, and the contents of the magazine could not be read for the time being, so he had to take out another distracting item.

"Would you like some music?"

I used to walk in a barren field and relied on the music in the player. Music has a damaging effect, especially when it dispels the negative effects of noise around you.

Moon acquiesced to her offer and accepted the earphones she shared with her significant other.

"I hope you don't have too bad taste in listening to songs. I actually prefer music with a bright style and a sense of rhythm, Showa-style old songs are fine, and American rock is a bit noisy to me. ”

"Then play it randomly, depending on your luck, you can shake whichever song you can. I have 514 songs on my playlist, and there's always one that fits. ”

Ruiji was about to press the play button, but found that the phone screen was garbled again, and there was no way to swipe the interface.

Theoretically, regional weird talk can affect the operation of mobile phones, and there are some problems with the functions of mobile phones from time to time, such as now, they are not lucky enough, the upper left of the screen shows "outside the circle", but the two of them are wearing headphones at the moment, and at the same time they hear a beautiful ringtone of the mobile phone.

The ringtone and the alarm clock are different from the music chosen, and it is impossible for Riji to remember it wrong.

The iconic "Lover~" scared her so much that she almost didn't hold her phone steady, and a call reminder popped up on the phone screen, and the caller turned out to be her sister Jingliu!

"What's going on? Why was my sister able to call in. ”

With trepidation, Riji slid to the answer button. It shouldn't have been answered, but the hands didn't listen, or it was habitual. There was a harsh electric sound from the other end of the earpiece, and after a few "zizi" sounds, the person on the other side spoke.

It wasn't the sound of a normal person, it was the same as the "person" knocking on the door, a biting chill emanated from the earpiece, and the ears were frozen and painful.

"Such a useless sister...... It's better not to come back, why don't you stay in Asahina...... Ha ha...... Hahahaha......"

The sound in the earpiece is very much like a static stream, but not exactly like it. Jingliu will not talk to herself in such a yin and yang tone, at most she will complain about the small mistakes in life in the tone of the elders admonishing and educating the younger ones, urging her to cheer up quickly and become a qualified god.

"What a malicious prank."

Ruiji tried to hang up the phone, but the phone automatically turned on the speakerphone and played the sound outward.

"Shizuru" is still trying to attack her verbally.

"I refuse to inherit the shrine.,Waste sister who puts all the responsibility on me alone...... Such a sister is really too inferior...... I don't do housework, and I am always late for class, and I am absent from school......"

"Hey, you don't need to expose my shortcomings, do you?"

The "person" on the phone continued to talk about the "crimes" committed by Reich, trying to make Reiji's shame reach its peak, and his disgust was completely expressed in his words.

"Shrine...... As long as I am alone...... My sister doesn't need it anymore, and I don't want to see my sister again in my life......"

"Stay, don't go back to Tokyo...... Why don't you become a weird talk with them in Asahina...... Won't be alone...... There are a lot of people to accompany you......"

"Zizi-"

This is the end of the weird call, and the phone is still garbled. Maybe it's because they're too close to them, and their electronic devices are affected, and they can't use even the most basic functions.

The chaotic footsteps outside the door became neat, and the sound of beating the taiko drum accompanied the footsteps and came to the door together. The venue for tonight's carnival seems to be set in this cramped bedroom, someone took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, and the keys collided with each other, jingling,

The door was not blessed with a rope, and it could not block the strange talk outside, and the door lock was turned from the outside, making a "click" sound. A fierce cool breeze poured in, and a group of witches dressed in kimonos with red, black, and cyan faces with sharp fangs and horns on their faces circled around the bed in the center of the room.

The sound of the drums beating comes from several of the witches, who carry the drums on their backs and wave their drumsticks as they walk. If you look closely, the drumstick is not wooden, but I didn't expect it to be two human leg bones.

The taiko drum corps is followed by a procession of festival dances, and witches with ghost faces dressed in costumes—blood-stained festival costumes, chanting strange words and moving neatly, walk and dance on the wooden floor.

The size of the bedroom suddenly expanded, and the 20-square-meter room became a huge space of 200 square meters, and the only thing that remained unchanged was the iron-framed bed surrounded by a rope and the things on the bed.

The narrow security zone is surrounded by hundreds of witches wearing ghost faces.

Surrounded by a group of priests and witches, a god in the most ornate costume, dressed in pure black priestly costumes, held a string of blood-red royal coins hung from a metal stick, and led the others to dance around the bed, chanting words in their mouths.

The words were vague and beeping, burrowing straight into the eardrums, causing a strong stinging sensation in the eardrums.

Rather, Richie could barely tell that it was a curse ritual.
