I loaded the ghost talk game

Tsuboda Harumi doesn't understand the current situation.

Did I do something that made everyone hate me?

But she had no chance to verify it with her friends for the time being, because the bell for class had already rang, and Teacher Arimura, who taught "Business Organization Theory", had also entered the classroom.

Teacher Arimura is a man in his forties. He wears glasses and is always very kind.

He walked to the church, cleared his throat to say hello to the students, and then flipped through the roster: "Well, let's take roll call before class."

"Umezu Yuki."

"arrive."

"Keiji Suehiro."

"arrive."

"..."

"..."

Tsuboda Harumi was obsessed with the strange episode before class while listening to Teacher Arimura's roll call.

It seemed like it was almost his turn.

"Kana Takehara."

"arrive."

Teacher Arimura called on her friend Kana's name, and Kana, who left Tsuboda and sat in the back row of the classroom, responded in a weak tone.

So, next is Pingtian.

Her serial number on the roster is connected with Chanel.

But at this time, Teacher Arimura, who was famous for his smooth speaking on the podium, suddenly stopped.

The always kind teacher looked at the name on the roster and closed his lips forcefully. His throat squirmed hard, as if there was a mouthful of thick phlegm stuck there.

Teacher Arimura's hand holding the roster unconsciously exerted force, and the paper crinkled in his palm.

"Tsubo... Kogure Kengo."

Teacher Arimura spoke, skipping the unspeakable name.

After deliberately ignoring it, he felt extremely relaxed.

"I……"

Tsuboda, who was already ready to answer, was completely stunned.

The roll call in class continued, and after crossing Pingtian, the process became smoother again.

A few minutes later, Teacher Arimura called on the name of the last student on the roster. He smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, everyone is here today, let's start class."

Books were flipped in the classroom and chalk rubbed against the blackboard.

For others, it was a very normal lesson in business organization theory.

Tsuboda Harumi was sitting alone in the audience, her body shaking unconsciously. There was no one around her, making her already thin figure look even thinner.

The classroom was obviously full of people, but Tsuboda seemed to be sitting in a wilderness, sitting in darkness with no end in sight.

She was out of tune with everything around her.

is that a lie?

Why?

What exactly is going on?

…

Jingle Bell--

The bell rang for the end of get out of class.

Teacher Arimura put down the chalk, put away the handouts, and then ordered: "Okay, everyone, please hand in all the exercises assigned last week."

Except for a few students who did not complete their homework, everyone else followed suit.

Tsuboda Harumi stood up from her seat in despair, and placed the exercise paper she had carefully completed over the weekend on the podium, placing it in the most conspicuous place.

"Teacher Arimura..."

The girl didn't know what to say.

She just wants to be noticed.

Teacher Arimura is usually very kind. When students talk to him and ask him questions, he will answer them seriously.

But now, the teacher never raised his head to look at Pingtian, just letting her stand there as if she didn't exist.

Tons, tons.

Teacher Youcun stacked the collected exercise papers, knocked on the podium, and then left quickly as if running away.

Before he left, he left a paper on the podium.

The handwriting on the paper was neat, and the answers to the questions were written very carefully.

The name column clearly reads: [Tsubota Harumi]

"Why?"

Tsuboda stared blankly at the exercises that had been deliberately left on the podium. She felt that the writing on it had become distorted, and the black notes were twisted and tangled, making her head dizzy and giving her a strong feeling of vomiting.

So, is everyone doing this on purpose?

It doesn’t matter if it’s Kana or Arimura-sensei.

Are you deliberately turning a blind eye to yourself?

But why?

Did I do something annoying?

Tell me!

"I obviously...didn't do anything."

Pingtian was the only one left in the classroom, just like the answer sheet that was deliberately left behind, lonely and light, with clear imprints on the white paper and black characters.

…

It's still snowing in Tokyo today.

Industrial salt should have been sprinkled on the road, and the snow did not condense into thin ice, but turned into black dirty snow.

Pingtian was walking home alone.

She was still thinking about what happened at school.

I wonder if I have really done something bad to make my friends and teachers hate me.

However, she really didn't expect it.

Ringing——

A bicycle bell rang ahead.

At the corner of the road, a reckless young man jumped out on a bicycle.

"careful!"

Tsuboda, who was worried, couldn't dodge in time. When he reacted, the young man and his bicycle had already rushed in front of him.

boom!

Tsuboda Harumi fell heavily to the ground, and her palms grazed the ground, causing burning pain.

"Sorry, you..."

The young man who caused the trouble quickly reached out to pull Pingtian away, but as soon as his eyes fell on the girl he knocked down, he became panicked.

It was like seeing something that would attract an ominous evil.

The young man suddenly withdrew his outstretched hand, quickly got on his bicycle, and left without looking back.

Only Pingtian was left, and Pingtian's raised hand was still frozen in the air.

The skin on her palms was scratched, and rough snow flakes and dirty mud stuck to her hands, stinging and cold.

The girl watched helplessly as the perpetrator escaped, opened her mouth, and then turned to look at other passers-by.

However, everyone is the same.

He only kept his eyes on her for a moment, then hurriedly moved away and walked away quickly, for fear of having anything to do with her.

Not only in school, but also outside.

Tsuboda knew that everyone could see her, but everyone was deliberately ignoring her and isolating her.

Why, why on earth are you treating me like this?

Am I a being that everyone hates and avoids?

The tense strings in Tsuboda's heart broke, and he was wrapped in an indescribable sense of depression and fear.

The girl's emotions finally broke down, and tears burst out of her eyes, blurring the delicate makeup on her face.

"You...you..."

Look at me, everyone.

I'm right here, you can all see me.

Why do you want to do this?

The sky over Tokyo today is gray and snowflakes are falling.

Click.

Snap.

In a daze, Tingtian heard the sound again.

The sound was like fingernails scraping hard against the wood, the sound was like water droplets falling on the ground.

There are also layers of indifferent and illusory voices whose source cannot be identified: "Unless the fire burns, unless your body is buried..."

Tsuboda's heart suddenly tightened, pounding in his chest.

"Please, look at me..."

…

Hachioji City, the villa of Xiangyue family.

After Xiangyue Xun's funeral, Kamiya River returned here again.

This time it was not a separate visit on the surface. He was also accompanied by people from the countermeasures room.

Kamiyakawa has applied to the Countermeasures Room for an investigation into Xiao Binze.

However, because there are not many useful documents preserved in Xiaobinze, the cursed place, the investigation was started at Xiangyue's house.

According to Yanmo Xiangyue Xun, who has both old and young characters, her family's grandfather was from Xiaobinze during her lifetime, and the bloodline of Xiangyue's family also contains Xiaobinze's curse of resentment.

Starting the investigation from Xiangyue's house, we might be able to find some useful clues.

"Mr. Xiangyue, I'm sorry to bother you again."

"you……"

When Kamiyagawa brought people to Xiangyue's house, Mr. Xiangyue who stayed here was extremely surprised.

He was a little unable to react——

I came here two days ago to attend the memorial ceremony. The young man who claimed to be a shogi disciple of his aunt suddenly transformed into a policeman with a Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department certificate. He also brought several colleagues to investigate.

Moreover, this young man named Kamiyagawa is obviously the youngest among those who came today.

But everyone else seemed to follow him.

However, he was surprised, and Mr. Xiangyue still maintained his demeanor and did not act excessively.

He thought Kamiya and others were here because of his aunt's death.

Mr. Xiangyue had done nothing wrong, so he chose to cooperate with the investigation.

The Xiangyue family's mansion is quite large, and the extensive search and investigation here lasted from morning to evening.

After Xiangyue Xun died, there was no extraordinary aura left here, so the perception abilities of the spiritual masters were of little use.

To find potentially useful clues here, we can only rely on human power to look through the ordinary objects left by Xiang Yuexun's grandfather in the old house and look for any clues related to little Binze.

Therefore, the personnel in the countermeasures room brought by Kamiya this time are not the type with strong strength.

They are all more serious and attentive, and there are police detectives among the staff.

In the tea room of the Kozuki family, Kamiyagawa and the current head of the family, Kozuki Hayato, sat across from each other and drank tea.

Listen to the other party tell some family stories.

For example, Xiangyue Xun's grandfather is also the great-grandfather of Xiangyue Hayato. This old man's name is Xiangyue Wang.

Xiang Yuewang left Xiao Binze when he was sixteen and came to Guandong to work hard.

Through certain opportunities, he joined the real estate industry and made his first pot of gold, thereby establishing a firm foothold in Kanto and establishing an industry.

Later, Xiangyue's family members withered away, and Xiangyue Xun, the last single member of the family, also fell into a deep sleep due to a strange illness.

The business of the Koyuki family is managed by Mr. Hayato's mother.

As Xiang Yuexun said, her brother and sister-in-law did not have much business talent, and they were forced to sell off part of the Xiangyue family's assets not long after.

But it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. This forced operation just avoided the subsequent bursting of Japan's bubble economy.

The Great Depression had a huge impact on Japan, and the Xiangzuki family was certainly unavoidable.

But the remaining money and property are enough for the family to continue living without worries.

"Um……"

Kamiyakawa listened to Mr. Xiangyue's story and slowly took another sip of tea.

He had heard the Yama girl talk about these things before, and they were pretty much the same. There was no conflict in the family history.

"Mr. Xiangyue, can you tell us more about your great-grandfather Xiangyue Wang?" Kamiya asked.

"Great-grandfather, I don't know much about him. I only know that this residence was left by my great-grandfather. My mother said that in the few years before his death, my great-grandfather stopped being involved in business matters and focused on doing business. The work was handed over to my grandfather, and I came back to live here for a long time until my death here."

"That's it."

Tuk Tuk.

The relatively harmonious conversation was interrupted by a knock on the door.

The sliding door of the tea room opens from the outside.

A police detective who came with Kamiya was standing at the door: "Mr. Kamiya, I think you should take a look at this."

The detective handed over a yellowed book with a leather-textured cover.

It looks very old at first glance.

"This was found in the lower shelf of the study." The detective further said, "There were also many books recording curses related to the study, but no one had read them for a long time. The most noteworthy one is this one. "

Kamiyagawa took the notebook.

It can be seen that this book itself does not have any extraordinary aura.

He couldn't help but feel grateful that he had the foresight to bring over the serious and meticulous members of the countermeasures room, and also applied for the transfer of several police detectives affiliated with the countermeasures room.

Without the help of these people, it would be too difficult to find any useful clues in Xiangyue's family.

Hayato Xiangyue looked over curiously and shook his head: "Is it the study room filled with debris? The things in it are all left over from my great-grandfather's time. I rarely go in, so I haven't seen them. This book."

In Mr. Xiangyue's impression, the study room was very messy, with a lot of messy things piled up, and a lot of various books.

It's really hard for these people to find anything in it that interests them.

In fact, Hayato Kozuki had also noticed at this time that Kamiyagawa and others did not seem to be here for the death of his aunt Kaoru Kaoru. They seemed to be more interested in their great-grandfather Kaoru Kaoru.

I don’t know what exactly I’m investigating.

On the other side of Kamiya River, the leather-bound book has been opened. It is a notebook.

The paper inside was also yellowed and wrinkled from moisture.

The handwriting left by the pen is a little blurry, but it can still be discerned.

The contents in the notebook should have been recorded by Xiang Yuewang——

…

I feel like I don't have much time left, and like little Binze, I might disappear from this world inexplicably at any time. This feeling has become more and more intense recently.

Before I can no longer hold a pen, I feel it is necessary to record what I have studied and learned. They should be useful. About my hometown, about Xiao Binze.

Little Binze seemed to be destroyed overnight. After I got the news, it had become a barren land. The people I knew who lived there are probably all dead.

After Xiao Binze was destroyed, no one could get close to it, and no one was willing to talk about it. I tried going back to Aomori to see what was going on in my hometown. But the closer I got to Hakkoda, the harder my heart beat. I have a feeling that as long as I return to the vicinity of Xiaobinze, I will definitely die.

absolute.

So I gave up the trip back home midway and returned to my old home in Kanto. I locked myself up and read a lot of books about curses. I can now confirm that Xiao Binze's destruction was due to a curse, and that curse was also passed on to me. Otherwise, why do I always hear some strange noises at night?

Also, curse the entire Xiao Binze to death, the person who did all this. I think it’s just him——

Mr. Aoyagi. (End of chapter)
