After boarding the bus.
The granny's body underwent a miraculous change.
The doll that was placed on the granny's hand and was responsible for providing her with sensory and speech abilities transformed into a 14-year-old girl … As for the granny's body, it deflated again and transformed into a crimson kimono that was placed on the girl's body.
This series of changes indirectly proved that the granny was just a puppet.
The doll that was placed on her hand to tell the story was the real thing.
The girl had kaleidoscope-like eyes. Once someone met her gaze, it was difficult to look away … except for Han Dong.
She lightly patted the seat beside her with her hand, indicating for Han Dong to sit down.
"I don't know what to call you, miss."
Now that she had become a young girl, Han Dong always felt that it was inappropriate to call her granny.
"I don't have the right to take back the name that my parents gave me … You can just call me Ling, that's my usual pen name."
"An author?"
"Yes, if we're talking about the origin story, it's related to my book …"
As she spoke, Ling used her cold and slightly hard, puppet-like arm to gently touch Han Dong's thin and weak body. At the same time, she began to tell the origin story.
"My favorite book since I was young was' Hundred Demons Parade 'written by Miyama-sama. The demons and ghosts in the book fascinated me, and they even accompanied me in my dreams every night.
I always hoped that I could write a similar book, writing about the scarier demons and ghosts that I wrote. At the same time, it had to fit the contemporary setting and be accompanied by an urbanized story.
Later, I called it 'Ghost Stories'.
I started to write when I learned how to read.
I don't know why, but whenever I was writing, I would see some strange things … At first, I thought they were just illusions in my head, a mental representation of my writing.
Until one day, a woman squatting in the corner of my house cut off my parents' heads. Only then did I realize that they were real … When I was writing, I would attract things that didn't belong to our world to 'this world.'
It was also because of my ignorance that my parents died. I didn't deserve the name that they gave me.
From that day onwards, I ran away from home.
I wandered all over the East Ocean Continent, creating works … Perhaps it was because I was too engrossed in my work that I starved to death in the process of creating works, but I didn't even know it.
About a month later, I realized that I was already dead, but I was still in the human world and could be seen by others.
In conclusion, I could be considered the first ghost story to be seen by humans.
Slowly, my power started to show itself … All the ghost stories that I recorded in the book would break through the 'barrier' and enter the human world.
Including the 'Red Umbrella', the 'Abyss Public Toilet', and the current Mr. Aha, as well as the [Lamp] in charge of the theme park.
They were all characters from my book, Ghost Stories.
But some of the characters grew too fast, and they slowly went out of my control … I couldn't make them lose their power. In fact, they imprisoned me and tried to control this ghost story theme park on their own. "
Han Dong was not particularly surprised by such an origin story.
In fact, it was only when Han Dong met Granny Origin and heard the system notification that there would be no reward for killing her.
And the 'ghost stories' that the granny used after that.
Han Dong basically deduced that all the ghost stories originated from the granny.
Now that he was alone with the granny, it was because he wanted to know what the origin was.
"As expected, it's not a world made up of various movies … There's still a main body!
Just like how the main body and mastermind in Dry Town is the Clown.
The main body of the current ghost story world is this granny!
Initially, I thought that Ghost Stories was a 'hodgepodge world' that combined various Japanese folktales and movies. Now, it looks like everything originated from one main body.
No wonder I didn't find any famous ghosts from Japan here, such as' Sadako ',' Kayako ', or' Nekomata 'and' Shutendoji 'from the Japanese Demon Records.
Everything in Ghost Stories was created by the old granny through her writing.
In this way, all of this matches the book we chose at the video store, Ghost Stories … It's not a hodgepodge, but a book that records various ghost stories. "
At this moment.
'Ling' reached out and slowly entered Han Dong's body through his robe.
It seemed like the hundred years of imprisonment had made her feel lonely.
"Miss Ling, you can't do this … Mr. Aha is just outside."
Ling laughed. "Haha, do you really think we're 'husband and wife'? We're just partners.
Furthermore, the object of his marriage is this ghost story 'granny leather jacket' that I'm wearing … He has nothing to do with me. "
Han Dong stared at this Miss Ling.
Suddenly, a voice flashed in his mind … It was Mia's scream. "Scumbag!"
"I can't … My body can't handle your hundred years of agitation. If this continues, I won't be able to take over the lighthouse. I'll consider it after I'm done. "
Seeing Han Dong reject her, Ling did not force him and slowly pulled her arm out … However, this rejection seemed to make her more interested in Han Dong.
The story ended.
The bus stopped.
Just as Ling was about to change into the granny costume, Han Dong suddenly reached out.
"I have a favor to ask."
"You won't let me touch you, and now you have a favor to ask?"
"I'll definitely repay you after this …" In Han Dong's plan, Granny Origin could not be left out … This was also the main reason why Han Dong wanted to talk to the granny alone.
"Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?"
Han Dong handed over the letter that he had prepared earlier. At the same time, he said, "When the time is right, just follow the instructions. If we miss this step, the success rate of taking down the lighthouse is almost zero."
After reading the contents of the letter, Ling frowned slightly.
"It's difficult, I'm afraid it'll consume all my energy.
Alright … Since you saved me, I'll help you with this. On the other hand, if it's done, I need you to accompany me for a while before leaving. "
"No problem."
…
In the inner layer of the paradise.
A power station that had been abandoned for a hundred years actually started operating today.
The darkness of the past no longer existed.
The streetlights on the streets all lit up due to the circuit's operation …
The streetlights were connected to the lighthouse, and any life that was illuminated by these lights was recorded in the [Lantern Man]'s vision.
The alarm was raised.
The paradise became lively, and the ghost stories in the city became restless … Wanted posters with the lighthouse's seal floated in the streets and alleys.
The portraits of Han Dong's team members were printed on them.
