Chapter 227: Chapter 190: Kelian Appears! (8000 Word Goal Achieved!)

Imadekawa Chika deeply regretted it.

She regretted agreeing to play a four-person game of hide and seek with her brother and two other people.

At that time, the world had spun around her, and she suddenly found herself in this place.

Before her was an old school building; the ceiling wasn’t high, but it had an oppressive feel.

The air was thick with a foul stench, and the dilapidated structure of the school was more realistic and terrifying than any haunted house.

All of this made her, who was just twelve years old, feel unusually frightened.

She pushed open the door and looked around.

On both sides of the entrance were deep, dark corridors where she couldn’t make out anything clearly.

"Brother Kotaro!"

Her tender voice called out.

The area was eerily quiet, with no one responding to her.

Imadekawa Chika swallowed again.

Where exactly was this place?

Looking at the gloomy and terrifying environment around her, she cautiously moved forward.

Step by step, ever so slowly, she finally exited the classroom behind her.

Clang!!!

The wooden door of the classroom behind her slammed shut, startling Chika into letting out a piercing scream.

Then, she saw it.

On the glass of the wooden door appeared a pair of malicious eyes, full of crimson bloodshot veins.

Imadekawa Chika, terrified, felt her body freeze, and she screamed in fear, randomly picking a direction and running headlong into it.

Next...

She felt herself bump into some soft human form.

Who else could be in such a place? Apart from Brother Kotaro, there shouldn’t be anyone else.

Imadekawa Chika’s face lit up with joy, and she looked up to cheerfully call out,

"Brother Ko...taro."

Then, she froze.

Her face turned from ruddy to pale, and then from pale to purplish.

The figure standing before her, was that Imadekawa Kotaro?

She took two steps back and got a clear view of the whole figure.

A dull black current wound around the mutilated female body.

Being so close, Chika could even see the pitch-black holes scattered across its body.

But the most terrifying part was not these.

The most terrifying part was that its waist seemed to be twisted from the side, its upper body contorted to one side of the body, and its hollow eyes were staring intently at her.

"Ahhh!!!"

Imadekawa Chika shivered all over.

Under her terrified gaze, the ’living corpse’ raised its twisted hands, its dark nails aiming straight for her eyes!

But before the sharp nails of the spirit could reach her, they were kicked away by a figure that suddenly appeared from nowhere.

It was a young man with a light blue backpack.

He had a healthy complexion with a hint of red, sharp eyes, though his face looked a bit cold, everything else seemed fine.

In Chika’s view, the young man took a step, the wooden floor beneath him cracked with a noise, and then he stomped firmly on the head of the female body who was struggling to rise.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

Imadekawa Chika collapsed to the ground, watching as the figure stomped repeatedly on the woman’s head.

With a squish, the female ghost’s head was utterly crushed by the man.

After doing all this, the young man finally turned his head and asked her,

"Are you okay?"

The moment he spoke, Imadekawa Chika lifted her head in a daze, and at last—

She burst into tears.

...

"So you’re saying that Brother Beichuan, like me, also came here through a four-person game of hide and seek, right?" Chika asked curiously, her big watery eyes blinking.

Beichuan Si simply nodded in response, "Roughly."

He had just come from the pool area when he heard Chika’s screams and managed to arrive in the nick of time; otherwise, another spirit would have been born in this spiritual realm.

And considering Chika’s age...

"Middle schooler?"

"Yes! I am a first-year student at Tokyo Youhua Middle School," Chika admitted without any hesitation.

"How did you end up here?" Beichuan Si said as he kicked something away and asked.

Chika’s face paled, "Brother Kotaro... Brother Kotaro and the others..."

"Kotaro? Is that your brother’s name?" Beichuan Si inquired further.

"Yes... You know that game that’s been popular online lately... the four-person game of hide and seek? My brother and his girlfriend decided to play it..." Chika stammered, "Then everyone realized we were short one person and dragged me along. After we finished the game, we ended up here."

That settled it.

This was a classic case of courting disaster and dragging along his sister.

One could say Chika was completely dragged into this by Imadekawa Kotaro.

In such a place...

Chika was three years younger than Beichuan Huili.

Beichuan Si frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said, "Stay quiet, and no matter what you see on the road, don’t scream. I’ll take you to find your brother, okay?"

"Okay!" Chika grabbed Beichuan Si’s hand tightly.

If they encountered those little ghosts again on the search, he would just use Jian Ding and crush their spiritual bodies completely so that they could no longer use the spiritual realm to recover.

It was when Beichuan Si had made such a resolution that not far from the main building, in a subordinate building, a young man with a crew cut was cursing and looking around.

"Damn it!"

He kicked the door of the dilapidated classroom, spitting in frustration, "What the hell is this place? The windows won’t even open, the sky is red, you can’t see anything in the distance, what’s going on?!"
