Chapter 436: Chapter 294: Courage Testing Conference (4000 words)

After looking over the incident at Jishi Park, Beichuan Si shoved his phone into his pocket, took out a blue yukata prepared by the lodging house, and planned to take a bath.

But as soon as he opened the door to his room, he found Nishijou Kurenai lying on the floor at some point in time.

"What’s going on? Why are you here alone? Mirai, Hui Li, where are they?"

Beichuan Si picked up the soaking wet Nishijou Kurenai and asked in a lowered voice.

Nishijou Kurenai guiltily turned her head away and continued to play dead.

Strange.

With thoughts flashing in his mind, Beichuan Si still brought her into the room.

But because Nishijou Kurenai was soaking wet, Beichuan Si still held her by the neck and blew on her for a long time.

He had originally planned to wring her out with his hands but considering Nishijou Kurenai might not be happy about it, he didn’t make that move.

After blowing on her for about ten minutes, Beichuan Si placed the now surface-dry Nishijou Kurenai on the table and picked up his clothes to head to the men’s bathhouse.

It had been a day like this.

The next day at noon, in the forest lodging house.

It was time to cook again, and just as Beichuan Si who was wondering what to eat today stepped out, he heard young girls whispering together outside.

With his exceptional hearing, Beichuan Si caught their conversation.

"Hey? Did you hear? Something seemed to have happened in the women’s bathhouse yesterday."

"It sounds like it was about a horror curse doll? I heard it from someone who knows, they said an old and dirty doll appeared in the bathhouse..."

With a mixture of three parts fear and seven parts excitement, they discussed:

"Then I heard that someone threw the doll out, but when they went back to bathe, they found the doll had returned somehow, it’s so scary!"

"Is it true?"

"That’s terrifying!"

They were excitedly talking about these boring and bizarre rumors, but the more Beichuan Si listened, the more he felt something was amiss.

Curse doll?

Could it be Nishijou Kurenai?

Maintaining a stoic expression, Beichuan Si walked over and directly said, "About that cursed doll you were just talking about."

"Eh?! Beichuan Demon... Beichuan? What do you want with us?"

"I’m asking about that cursed doll you mentioned."

Beichuan Si, ignoring the fear in their eyes, calmly inquired.

"Ahahaha... Well, in the end, it’s just a rumor... Cough cough, I heard Teacher Qianhe is looking for you everywhere, Beichuan, maybe you should go see what it’s about."

The girl coughed twice and smoothly changed the subject.

Teacher Qianhe Kagura was Beichuan Si’s homeroom teacher, who was indeed looking for him all over—it seemed like there was something she needed to instruct him on.

"A rumor... Fine. Teacher Qianhe is looking for me, right?" Beichuan Si pondered for a moment and didn’t press further.

What could Teacher Qianhe Kagura want with him?

Beichuan Si moved his feet and walked toward the office.

...

After visiting the office and then having lunch, Beichuan Si confronted Nishijou Kurenai and bluntly asked her about what happened in the bathhouse.

But by this time, Nishijou Kurenai was still feigning ignorance; she looked at Beichuan Si, her little doll face seemingly full of confusion.

That expression seemed to say, ’I don’t know what you’re talking about; I’m just an innocent little doll.’

Seeing that expression, Beichuan Si didn’t say another word but pinched her doll face and pulled it to both sides.

For a moment, Nishijou Kurenai’s doll face was stretched wide and long, her round little hands slapping at Beichuan Si’s palms, the little doll body struggling with all her might.

In truth, Beichuan Si didn’t use much force, after all, he had already heard about the whole story from Shen Gu Mirai.

It seemed that Beichuan Huili went to chat with her five buddies and didn’t notice that Nishijou Kurenai was swimming in the bathhouse.

Then someone said, ’Who brought such an ugly, dirty doll into the bathhouse?’ And Nishijou Kurenai ended up being tossed out.

Of course, Nishijou Kurenai was not happy about being thrown out; she ran back into the bathhouse—

And then got thrown out again.

After repeating this about five or six times, someone finally realized something was amiss, and there was a commotion in the women’s bathhouse, saying that the place had been cursed by the curse doll.

"Those girls really have some imagination," Beichuan Si patted Nishijou Kurenai’s head.

It wasn’t Nishijou Kurenai’s fault, after all; upon seeing such a strange occurrence, it’s natural for people to start speculating wildly.

With that thought, Beichuan Si looked at the aggrieved Nishijou Kurenai and poked her little cheek with his finger:

"You may say whatever you want, but you’re temporarily banned from entering the women’s bathhouse. However, there’s a courage test event tomorrow night, I can take you to stroll around then."

Courage test event?

Nishijou Kurenai raised her head, not quite understanding what Beichuan Si was talking about.

She had always lived in the countryside; how would she know about city folks’ gimmicks?

"I was just called over by the homeroom teacher, she wanted me to play a ghost and scare the students participating in the courage test," Beichuan Si said calmly.

Yes.

Teacher Qianhe Kagura and the other teachers planned to hold a courage test event at the end of the camping activity.

The specific location was set at the same viewing platform Beichuan Si and Beichuan Huili had visited last time.

The entire courage test event wasn’t long, and there would be teachers watching along the way, basically, there wouldn’t be any accidents.

However, there weren’t enough people to play the ghosts, and the progress had slowed down.

After some persuasion from Teacher Qianhe Kagura and others, they decided to select some students willing to play ghosts from the participants, to liven up the atmosphere.
