To match the current atmosphere, Wang Quan did not flip the table.
He still wanted to listen to the story of this uncle's' friend '.
Inoue Masao's face was pale. Under the candlelight, half of his face was hidden in the shadows.
It was obvious that he was getting into character.
"My friend used to be very happy.
"After graduating from Keio, he passed the interview with a big company and was officially hired. His starting salary was 400,000 yen.
"Later, he met a beautiful and gentle wife. After they got married, they had a lively and cute child.
"But after the economic downturn, he only dared to stand at the subway station every night after work and pretend to work overtime.
"Later, he was laid off.
"Later, he found out that his wife was having an affair. But for the sake of his family, he did not make it public.
"Because he lost his job, his wife's attitude toward him worsened.
"One day, he found out that his wife was searching for something on the Internet.
"He found out that it was a website, a forum for housewives to talk about how to slowly kill their husbands and get their assets.
"Originally, he thought that his wife would file for a divorce after he retired and take a large portion of his pension. He did not expect that because he was laid off, she filed for a divorce.
"This was discovered, and his wife filed for a divorce. She and her lover took away the house, his assets, and their child.
"That day, he drank a lot, followed his wife, and killed her.
"No one found out, and the police treated it as a missing person case.
"He took back the house.
"But the next day, when he woke up, he found his wife preparing breakfast in the kitchen …
"He fled the house.
"But no matter where he was, he could see his wife appear in his house the next morning as if nothing had happened.
"Later, he moved to an apartment in a remote area.
"But his wife appeared again.
"Finally, he was haunted by fear and killed his wife again.
"But the next morning, his wife appeared again …"
After a long pause, Inoue Masao said in a low voice, "That's the end of my friend's story."
Wang Quan nodded.
So, what he saw that day was this man killing his wife again?
It sounded like a story about a vengeful spirit.
But everyone could tell that he was talking about Inoue Masao.
No one spoke.
After a while, Hanako Nohara said softly, "Inoue-san, please go upstairs and blow out the candles."
Inoue Masao seemed to be relieved. He stood up and bowed to everyone, then strode toward the stairs.
Wang Quan listened attentively.
After Inoue Masao's footsteps disappeared on the stairs, there were no more sounds from upstairs.
A few minutes later, Inoue Masao came down.
Everyone turned their gazes over.
He took a few steps forward in the shadows, then stopped and stood still.
"Inou-san?"
Someone asked tentatively.
But Inoue Masao did not respond.
Then, his body swayed and collapsed.
Then his head rolled over and stopped at Wang Quan's feet.
The look on his face was one of terror.
"Ah —! Uh … "
Miyu Komiya screamed.
Akiko Watanabe also screamed, but she quickly covered her mouth to stifle it.
Wang Quan extended his leg and kicked Inoue Masao's head away, then said, "It's my turn, right?"
Hanako Nohara nodded. "Wang-san, please tell your ghost story."
"Hmm … ghost story. I see that everyone is very nervous, so I will tell you a story from 'Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio'. That is a ghost story from China. "
Wang Quan thought for a moment, and his expression gradually darkened.
His voice also sank. "When I was a child, I went to my grandfather's house in the countryside during the summer vacation. He told us not to go up the mountain alone, especially at night.
"It's not like there are ghosts or anything. We don't have such a saying in our world.
My grandfather said that there are foxes and yellow deities living in the mountain, which are weasels.
"In our world, animals can cultivate. When they cultivate to the end, they will become people with powerful magic power, even immortals.
"A fox demon or yellow deity that has cultivated will come out to look for living people when it is one step away from becoming a human. They need the breath of living people to help them get through this stage.
"So, when you enter the mountain, you will sometimes see strange people that look like dwarves. They usually wear hats and old clothes that cover their faces, bodies, and tails. Their pants are bulky because the shape of their legs is different from humans.
"If you see such a 'person', then when it asks you, 'What do you think I look like?', you have to be careful.
"At this time, if you answer, 'I think you look like a human,' then it can transform into a human and become a great monster.
"If you answer, 'I think you look like an immortal,' then it can directly become an immortal. This is the answer it is most looking forward to.
"In both cases, it will be considered a favor, and it will return the favor by giving you a generous reward.
"But if you answer, 'I don't think you look like anything,' or 'I think you look like a monster,' then it will fail to transform. It can only throw down its clothes and run away in shame.
"They will lose their cultivation and can only cultivate again.
"This also means that you have formed a blood feud with them. They will come back to take revenge on you."
After a pause, Wang Quan took a sip of orange juice and continued, "During the summer vacation in my second year of high school, I went into the mountain alone out of boredom. "Then, I met a fox in clothes.
"It asked me, 'What do you think I look like?'
At this point, Wang Quan paused.
"Gulp —"
Someone subconsciously swallowed.
"How did you answer?" Someone asked.
Wang Quan smiled slightly, "I said, 'I think you look like a 1.78 meters tall, white-haired, red-eyed, big-breasted, long-legged, child-faced, cold-looking, and gentle older sister. Moreover, you can transform into a 1.48 meters tall, flat-chested, tsundere.' By the way, it's a fox immortal. "
Wangyue Lin, "…"
Hanako Nohara, "…"
Everyone else, "…"
"That's the end of my story."
After successfully turning a supernatural horror story into a hilarious LSP story, Wang Quan was satisfied and hid his achievements.
After what happened to Inoue Masao, Wang Quan had a general understanding of how this freak killed people.
That was to tell ghost stories according to the freak's requirements. Usually, they would tell ghost stories that were related to themselves.
Wang Quan guessed that the trigger condition was to gather a certain number of "problematic people" and trigger the "One Hundred Demons Story."
According to Wang Quan's observations, everyone here had their own secrets. Each of them had their own unique skills.
Then, in the killing rules, everyone would tell their own "ghost story" in order.
If it weren't for the fact that he had the power of a mythical creature, Wang Quan would probably have fallen for it.
Wangyue Lin was probably fine for the same reason.
Or was it because she had already walked out of the shadows, so she was fine?
In that case, the way to survive was to go up to the second floor and face the fear of the past and be freed?
If she walked out of the shadows, she would be able to live.
Or, in the "physical sense," she could hide.
If she couldn't hide, she would die.
If she could survive, what would happen when all the candles were blown out?
Wang Quan didn't know, but he was very interested.
Hanako Nohara's voice was heard again. "Wang-kun, please go upstairs and blow out the candles."
Wang Quan smiled and stood up, but Wangyue Lin held his hand.
He lowered his head and patted the back of Wangyue Lin's hand before walking toward the stairs.
When he passed by Inoue Masao's corpse, he glanced at it.
With the support of mythical power, he could see the dark night as if it were day.
Inoue Masao had become a human stick.
Judging from the wound and the appearance of the corpse, it was similar to the shape of the corpse of his ex-wife that Wang Quan had seen when he had given her a gift.
Well, it seemed that he had to face his own fear.
Wang Quan licked his lips and went up to the second floor without hesitation.
Yu Koro's beast-eared immortal fox! I'm coming!
