Chapter 8: Maiden Seal Club (Part 2)
It has been a week since we last visited that house.
During this week, although no resentful spirit came to me, the twisted face of the child remained in my memory, making me feel a little out of my mind.
[That seems like a strange murder case has occurred recently... Does it have anything to do with that house?]
Looking at the sky outside the window, I couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Suddenly, a black shadow stood beside me, scaring me.
"So it's lotus seed... Is there anything wrong?" I finally calmed down after seeing the people beside me.
"I didn't expect that Meli, you would also show this expression. Are you still thinking about that house?"
Lianzi looked very cheerful and did not seem to have been affected.
"Ahh, it's impossible if you don't care, right? After all, it's a real ghost, and the barrier around the house is different from the previous ones. It seems to be a barrier set by others." I said with a wry smile.
"Melly still can't let go." Lianzi smiled, "So, can we go to that house again? This time we must find out all the secrets hidden in the house!"
"no!"
My voice was so loud that not only lotus seeds, but also myself was shocked.
"Why, why not? Didn't Meli also care about the barriers and secrets of that house?" Lianzi was startled by my voice, but she still said unwillingly.
It seems that she really wants to go to that house.
However, I couldn't promise her because it was not a joke.
I did not do anything this week. By searching past newspapers and asking some people who live nearby, I also got information about the house.
——The cursed house of resentment.
That is the name of the house. It is said that as long as you step into the house, you will be infected with an irreversible curse and be chased by the ghosts living there, and at least two-digit people have died.
So, I can't let lotus seeds enter that dangerous place, because lotus seeds are just an ordinary person...ah, it seems that I am also an ordinary person myself.
[Anyway, you can't let the lotus seeds go, at this time...]
Looking at Lianzi waiting for me to answer the question, I had a scheming in my mind.
"Okay, OK, let's put the matter on that house aside first. Do you want to go shopping at night? I heard that the nearby shopping street has bought new cosplay clothes!"
Speaking of which, Lianzi likes cosplay for some reason. She often wears some clothes for me to wear, and then uses my photos to contribute to an anime magazine.
By the way, my favorite color is purple, and I like to hold an umbrella when cosplaying.
"Ah! I'm going, I'm going!"
Lianzi was unexpectedly easy to cheat and immediately forgot what he was talking about. Is this guy really a ⑨...
—————————————————
"There are so many people today..." I looked at the crowds in the shopping street and frowned.
"Hey hey, this is nothing. When I went to Xiacomiet, I had twice as many people as this one." Lianzi said next to me with great vitality, "This is the soul of the Otaku clan. You won't understand Meli."
"Yes, yes, yes..." I dealt with it perfunctorily, and at the same time I felt a vague premonition in my heart.
It can be said that it is spiritual awareness. Before something bad happens, you often have such a premonition to remind me that danger is approaching.
[So...what is the danger this time? Could it be that a pervert appears?]
Just as I was guessing the source of my premonition, a commotion suddenly came from not far ahead.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
The curious Lianzi ran up immediately, and I could not help but follow her. Because there were not many people in the place where the commotion came, we still saw clearly the reason for the commotion very smoothly.
A man with torn clothes and even blood seeping out of his eyes was sitting on the ground in a mess and was watching from everyone.
"Hey, he is not..."
When I saw the man's face clearly, I couldn't help but make a sound of surprise.
"What's wrong, Meli, do you know him?" Lianzi next to him asked curiously.
"Of course, wasn't he one of the people who walked out of that house a week ago? How could he show up here?"
"Oh! It's the one who can emit green light on his feet, right?" Lianzi immediately became excited, "What are you waiting for? Why don't we go up and ask him about that house?"
"No, wait..."
Suddenly, the ominous premonition in my heart reached its peak.
【If you keep staying here, you will die.】
There seemed to be a voice in my heart that told me that this time the ominous feeling was more than all the dangers in my seventeen years of life.
Suddenly, I found a white mist around the crowd, and the surrounding temperature also dropped a lot. Behind the crowd, something seemed to be appearing in the air...
"That...what is that?" I screamed in horror as I looked at the densest place in the crowd.
A huge ghost more than twenty meters was standing slowly from the crowd.
And the face of that huge ghost was exactly the face of the first victim I saw in the old newspaper... Come to Qijia Coconut!
The man on the ground heard my voice and looked back in surprise. When he saw the huge ghost, his pupils also shrank violently.
Sure enough, he could also see a huge ghost. Or is this huge ghost related to him?
However, this is not something I should worry about now.
"Lotus seeds, run!"
I pulled up the almost frightened lotus seeds and quickly fled in the opposite direction of the huge ghost.
[What a joke, why did such a huge resentful spirit appear here? Could this city become a ghost town?]
"Get out of here quickly, go as far as you can! If you continue to stay here, you will die!"
Behind me, there were screams from the crowd and anxious shouts. I took my time to look back, and the blood-stained man stood up from the ground and ran towards the huge ghost.
At this time, I suddenly felt strange.
In the near future, I will definitely meet this man again.
【This is the arrangement of fate.】
In my dream, the young girl with a pair of small wings behind her said.
————————————————
After running for a long time, Lianzi and I finally stopped.
"Hu, Hu... that huge ghost didn't chase after him. It seems that we are safe now."
I leaned against the wall exhausted.
"Then, what exactly is that..." Lianzi also gasped, "A ghost of that level is almost the same as a giant... It's true that the ghost has no neck flesh for me to cut it."
"It's not a female ghost who plays attack..." I complained about Lianzi, and at the same time I saw the surrounding environment clearly: "Huh? Isn't this near your home? We ran so far without realizing it."
"Really... I can go home and sleep directly. I hope I won't have nightmares tonight." Lianzi said: "Melly, such a big thing happened. You may meet that female ghost again when you walk on the night. Will you sleep at my house tonight?"
"...No, I'd better go back to sleep, it's just a few hundred meters away." After hesitating for a while, I still rejected Lianzi's kindness.
"Melly, you'd better be careful..."
"It's okay, then I'll leave first." Before Lianzi finished speaking, I waved my hand at her and walked in the opposite direction.
But when I turned the corner, I changed my path.
This road leads to the House of Resentment...
