Chapter 82: The Test of Courage
As the Noh actors bowed en masse, the audience stood up and left.
"Xiaoguang, do you want to go back and rest first?"
Arisa asked worriedly.
Hikari shook his head, signaling that he could still hold on.
It was said that it was a test of courage, but in fact, the location was nothing more than a park set up near the shrine heights, and with the noisy group of high school students at the entrance, the scary atmosphere was gone.
Mr. Yamama sat at a long table at the entrance of the park, bored playing with his phone.
She still didn't raise her head when a few people approached from the club: "Two or three people in a group, free to form a team." ”
"It's too casual."
Hoshikawa Aoi couldn't help but complain.
Yamama raised his head, as if remembering that he still had the name of a consultant teacher in this club: "It's you, also come to participate in the courage test conference?" It's good to be young. ”
She hammered up the table on her stomach: "The teacher also wants to play!" The farmed oysters in Lake Kamo are famous all over the country! I really want to go to a nearby izakaya and have a great drink! ”
What a shame on the teacher.
"But there are five of us here, how are we going to divide into groups?"
Shiratori asked, looking around.
Because I couldn't think of a proper way, I finally assigned the members by guessing the box.
"Be careful! I've heard that there have been strange stories in this park lately! ”
Before entering, the mountain teacher deliberately reminded in an eerie manner.
Arisa lifted the hem of her sleeve and stepped over the dead branches on the ground, stealing a glance at the people around her.
He seemed to be pondering something, and did not speak.
They were now walking along a walkway in the park, flanked by low shrubs, and the rising moonlight passed through the glass shed above the walkway, casting floating shadows on the ground.
[What is Li Wu thinking......]
Arisa whispered to herself in her heart.
[Should it be out at that time?] Damn, I'm going to lose the second one. 】
The answer is a hard game review unique to male high school students.
Anxiously, he clenched his left hand into a fist and smashed it on his right palm.
[Do you think it's more fun to be with three people over there?] 】
[Guess the winning method of boxing...... With my fighting wisdom, I'm almost enlightened! 】
[That's right, anyway, I'm a girl who is dark and can't speak, and she still runs her delusional account on the Internet......]
Arisa hung her shoulders in frustration.
"It is done, the path to revenge has opened before me!"
Because he was as happy as an illiterate old Taoist priest who had found a shortcut to becoming an immortal, Li Wu's inner thinking voice unconsciously leaked out a little bit.
"It's such a hated state of affairs to be in a group with Airisa!"
As a result of the crash of the thought circuit, Airisa cried out with tears in her eyes.
"Huh? What are you talking about...... Airisa, run! ”
At the end of the corridor, a white figure appeared, although it was obvious that the rough facial features painted in ink on the white cloth could be distinguished, and the sweatpants that were not hidden at all could be seen from below, and most importantly, the words "physical education teacher" were written on the head.
But Li Wu, who was in a good mood because he felt that he had achieved great skill in guessing boxing, still cooperated with the atmosphere, turned around and grabbed Airisa's right wrist through the vibration sleeve, and fled to the other end.
"Huh? Wait a minute......"
Wearing clothes that were inconvenient for running, Arisa could only keep up with him in small steps.
"If you don't run, hurry up, you'll be chased by ghosts!"
Because she was being led, Arisa could only see his expression from behind.
“…… Li Wu, are you happy now? ”
"It's not the time to be happy, Arisa, wait until you get rid of the sheet monster!"
The boy in front of him replied with a laugh.
"Hmm!"
It's really like a stupid person who suffers from gains and losses.
Thinking so, Arisa quietly moved her wrist back gradually.
The teacher who played the ghost didn't mean to chase seriously, and the two ran away from him after running a distance.
Of course, it was impossible for the two of them to be familiar with the terrain of the park when they first arrived at Longdu Island, so after running around, Li Wu found that they were already in a clearing in a small forest, away from the few street lamps next to the park's trail.
Arisa bent down, her hands on her knees, gasping slightly.
Obviously a vampire, but it has an incredible ability to sweat, at least a layer of fine water droplets rose from the neck of the girl wearing the vibrating sleeves in front of her, leaving a line of marks on the skin of the neck, and sliding into the collar embroidered with pink trim.
"What kind of place is this?"
When she calmed down, she looked at the scenery around her.
"I don't know, it's kind of like the kind of place where corpses are buried."
Because the street lights are blocked by the surrounding trees, only a little leakage can be leaked, but it strengthens the eerie feeling here to a certain extent.
"Please don't say such terrible things......"
As soon as Arisa's words fell, a well-timed scream startled a group of birds perched in the park: "It's a real thing!" Help me! ”
She was taken aback and subconsciously grabbed Li Wu's sleeve.
The voice...... Is it Uehara's? ”
Li Wu caught where the screams were coming from.
If it was someone else, it might have been scared by the ghosts played by the teachers.
But Masaki Uehara saw the big in a sense, and it is unlikely that it was a fake that made him cry for help.
The two of them followed the direction of the sound for some distance, and as they walked out of the woods, they bumped into Masaki Uehara who was running.
Leading in front of him was Tsubasa Mizushima, who was still shouting as he ran, "Don't we have a way to deal with it?!" ”
"Ordinary people can't be opponents! Ah, Brother Li Wu! Help! ”
Uehara braked in surprise, and a flutter slid down his knee and hugged his thigh.
Li Wu turned sideways and mercilessly allowed him to crash into the trees behind him.
"What's going on? You shouldn't be intimidated by that kind of inferior appearance, right? ”
"It's not! There really are ghosts! I swear by my playing career! ”
The Mizushima wing points to the park lawn at the rear.
There were white sheets that seemed to have been ripped off some teacher, and the simplified facial features were drawn, and when worn on people, they did not have a frightening effect at all.
But when it floats independently in the air, the effect is completely different, and even the godless eyes lit up by the red ink reveal madness in the absurdity.
There was nothing under the sheets, and the legs that belonged to the humans were not visible.
"Could that really be a ghost?"
Arisa looked at Li Wu and asked.
He walked towards the fluttering sheets with a strange face.
"Wait a minute! Don't go, it's going to be dangerous! ”
Mizushima shouted loudly, and Masaki Uehara, who had climbed up from under the tree, grabbed his shoulder: "Don't worry, Mizushima is here to watch Brother Li Wu's performance!" ”
"I just said that ordinary people can't be opponents......",
His words came to an abrupt end when a stone splashed between them.
Li Wu, who had comprehended the Collapse of the Strength King Kong in the battle with the giants, had become more and more proficient in mastering his own powers, so much so that he could switch between the opening and closing of the Law Phase Manifestation State almost without any gaps.
Just step forward to break through the ground, and just throw a fist to create a small wind pressure.
So much so that the real sheet monster stopped in mid-air as if it were frightened.
Li Wu's fist stopped about three centimeters in front of it, and the strong air currents lifted the camouflage draped over his real body.
"Why are you scaring them?"
Li Wu asked the Zashiki boy who was floating in the air, looking so frightened that he was about to foam at the mouth.
