Haunted House Amusement Park.
Although the afternoon sun was just right, the atmosphere in front of the haunted house still carried a hint of coldness.
"Wow! How lucky, I didn't expect this haunted house's event to be that you can get twenty donuts just by collecting all the stamps!"
"My Lord, Miko-chan, let's go in!"
Yurikawa Hana was in high spirits.
After paying for tickets and entering, the girl was frightened by the gloomy and terrifying environment around her.
Slightly swaying candles, dim green atmosphere lights in the corners, blood-stained dolls hanging from the ceiling and walls, sealed windows, and bloodstains made with paint on the floor.
It must be said, the horror atmosphere was quite sufficient.
"So scary! It looks completely real!"
Because of the soundproofing panels, the noisy sounds from outside could not get in at all.
Yurikawa Hana was startled by the scene in front of her as soon as she entered, reflexively hugging Rosen's arm, her two eyes looking as if they were about to cry.
"Oh, oh, I can't quite understand it…"
Yotsuya Miko's expression was calm.
For her, who had spent several months living among various ghostly scares, this level was merely child's play.
"I say, Xiao Hua, you've already seen real spirits, so why are you still afraid of a haunted house?"
"Be…because it's really scary!"
As she spoke, she unconsciously tightened her grip on Rosen's arm, two large mounds comparable to Mount Fuji completely enveloping his arm.
Just then.
A rustling sound came from behind.
A tall cowboy, wearing a sack over his head and holding a machete, emerged from the mechanism, letting out a strange cry at the same time.
It was a Western serial killer type of horror.
"Ahhhhhh! It appeared!"
Hearing the commotion, Yurikawa Hana looked back.
After seeing the haunted house NPC, she immediately jumped up like a startled cat.
Continuing forward.
Upside-down spiders, heads, and various other props would suddenly appear overhead at any time.
And Yurikawa Hana kept screaming loudly.
Rosen, however, was completely unaffected by these things.
It could even be said that the word "fear" had been deleted from his dictionary.
However, all the stamps were successfully collected.
But just as the journey was about to end, Yotsuya Miko discovered a tall, thin ghost figure in a corner of the haunted house, wearing a sports uniform and with a head swollen as if in supplication.
For a haunted house primarily featuring Western horror, the appearance of such an entity was highly unusual.
Yurikawa Hana was startled by the ghost figure out of nowhere.
However, even though the few of them looked directly at it, it did not cause the spirit to become violent.
Rosen thought it might be because this was a haunted house.
This spirit had once attacked several normal people, but after realizing it couldn't harm visitors, over time, it became like an animal forming a conditioned reflex, and its thoughts also became dull.
But no matter how dull it was, after sensing the strong life energy on Yurikawa Hana, the spirit's instinct still reacted.
It took stumbling steps towards Yurikawa Hana, but before it could touch the girl, the barrier around Yurikawa Hana bounced it off, sending it flying out like a broken doll.
"Huh? Was that a real one just now?"
The unusual reaction made the girl's eyes widen.
Yotsuya Miko nodded silently, these spirits really were omnipresent.
"It's almost over, the last stamp should be up ahead."
The three continued forward.
However, just as they were about to reach the end.
Two somewhat familiar figures suddenly appeared before Rosen's eyes.
"Huh? What new monster is this?"
Yurikawa Hana acted as if facing a formidable enemy, observing from behind Rosen.
"No, they are ordinary people."
Yotsuya Miko shook her head; with her spiritual vision, she could easily distinguish between people and spirits.
"But why are they squatting here?"
At the same time.
Jun Dao Ling Nai was anxiously looking at her young lady.
"Young Lady Youxi, how are you?!"
"What's going on?"
A voice came from behind, and Jun Dao Ling Nai turned her head, expecting it to be an ordinary player, but she didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here.
The man whom Young Lady Zhoufang Youxi had been thinking about and couldn't forget that day.
Although Jun Dao Ling Nai completely disbelieved Zhoufang Youxi's claims of seeing "ghost figures" or similar, just a short while ago, Zhoufang Youxi suddenly squatted to the ground as if she had seen something terrifying, her hands and feet ice cold.
Jun Dao Ling Nai's intuition told her it was best to explain the truth to the man in front of her.
The story had to start with Zhoufang Youxi's decision.
Just before Rosen and Yotsuya Miko's group were about to head to the haunted house, Young Lady Zhoufang Youxi excitedly decided to come to the haunted house for a test of courage.
Everything was normal in the beginning, but just as they were nearing the end, Zhoufang Youxi, who had been enjoying herself, suddenly froze, and then a gust of wind suddenly swept through the haunted house.
And then, Zhoufang Youxi was in her current frightened state.
The professionally trained Jun Dao Ling Nai had already checked Zhoufang Youxi's condition.
There were no external injuries anywhere on her body, nor had she stepped on any nails, but her whole body was trembling slightly and breaking out in cold sweat.
Many tissues had been used to wipe away the sweat.
Just as she was about to ask the haunted house NPC for help, Rosen's group arrived.
Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana were bewildered.
Normal people shouldn't be able to see spirits.
And even if they could, why did they pass the previous section?
"Ah, this… could it be her period?"
Yurikawa Hana said with much experience.
At this, several black lines appeared on Jun Dao Ling Nai's forehead.
And Rosen probably understood the reason.
Rosen's eyes could see some things that even Yotsuya Miko couldn't.
And at this moment, Zhoufang Youxi's body was clearly marked with an imprint resembling a "fox."
Combined with the lingering spiritual aura nearby, he probably understood what was going on.
In Yotsuya Miko's world, besides ordinary spirits, there were also many more powerful spirits.
The most typical example was in the original work, where Yurikawa Hana and Yotsuya Miko, for some unknown reason, suddenly went to an abandoned shrine to play and even made a wish to the "Fox Spirit" enshrined there.
Yotsuya Miko thus received the Fox Spirit's protection three times, but after the three chances were used up, she would have to pay with her life.
