I started my horror resurgence from Naruto

No. 17, Kita -chome, Konoha Village.

In the bedroom on the west side of the second floor, the door was locked from the inside. Two figures were sitting on the tatami, facing the TV, fidgeting. A face on the TV was suddenly frozen - an eyeball with the word "贞" printed on it was revealed between the disheveled hair.

"hiss!"

Even though it was his second time watching the movie, Senakeda was still terrified. No, it should be said that he knew more now and was even more afraid.

He turned his head and stared anxiously. It was Hinata Naraku who held the remote control and pressed the pause button. The latter was staring at the eyeballs on the screen without blinking.

The focused look on his face, as if he was gazing at his lover lovingly, made Senakeda's scalp tingle.

"What are you doing?" Senakeda grabbed the remote control and turned off the TV.

"I just want to confirm this face again..." Hinata Naraku turned his head and stared at Morinakada, sighing softly, "I haven't watched the video for several days. I'm worried that I will forget that it's just a video, that she will suddenly become a memory in my memory, and even more afraid that one day when I wake up, this face will really stand in front of me."

Stop talking!

Please stop talking, it's so scary!

[Senakeda's fear value +30!]

Senakada's throat was dry. There was too much information in Hyuga Naraku's words. The key was that the future predicted by Hyuga Naraku was really scary.

Isn't it enough that the memory is confused?

Do you have to walk out of the nightmare and reach your own bedside?

"That's impossible. It's just a videotape after all!" Senekada pulled out the videotape and said ruthlessly, "Don't exaggerate. Now, tell me everything you know."

When Senakada said this, Hinata Naraku understood that in front of Senakada, he had been cleared of the suspicion of being the instigator and was completely regarded as a fellow victim on the same front.

At most, Senekda still had some resentment left, but it didn't matter. From now on, no matter what he said, Senekda would believe it.

"Okay, I'll tell you everything. The story starts three months ago..."

[Villain's language art level 1 is in effect, credibility ↑]

As Hinata Naraku told the story, a strange, evil, horrifying, yet extremely relatable story was pieced together bit by bit in Senakada's mind.

After half an hour.

Senakada asked solemnly, "What you mean is that three months ago, you and Hyuga Neji watched this videotape together, and for a few days afterwards, both of you continued to have nightmares, and then one day, Hyuga Neji's memory became confused, and he began to mistake the contents of the nightmare for his own memories?"

"That's right." Hinata Naraku replied.

Senakada had no doubts because the story was basically the same as what he experienced today. He certainly didn't know that Hinata Naraku was just repeating his own experience with slight changes.

Hinata Naraku knew very well what Sadako had done to Morino. To be honest, he was surprised that Sadako could confuse other people's memories.

Did Sadako in the original novel ever show this ability?

But, on second thought, not having performed before doesn't mean that I can't perform now. After all, Sadako has resurrected and come to a strange new world. It's normal for ghosts to want to upgrade their [methods] to keep up with the times. What's wrong with that?

"And then what?" Senakeda asked quickly.

"After that, a few days later, Neji completely forgot about the videotape. He was like a madman. He told me that he seemed to have forgotten a very important memory, which was about a well and a woman. He went crazy looking for the well." Hinata Naraku narrated as if recalling something.

Senakada recalled the strange scene in the classroom, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Hinata Naraku revealed a sense of sympathy... and secret joy.

"And then, did he find it?" Senekda knew clearly that nightmares could not become reality, but he couldn't help but ask.

"did not find!"

"It's exactly what I thought."

"but!"

Senakeda was stunned and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.

"Ningji has been looking for him for three months, but he couldn't find anything at first. I was very worried and wanted to secretly follow him to see where he went every day, but I couldn't keep up with him at all, so I asked Lee Rock to help me." Hinata Naraku was afraid that Morinakada wouldn't understand, so he patiently explained, "Lee Rock is a classmate of Neji and a trustworthy person."

"Did you show him the videotape?" Senekda frowned.

"No, I didn't dare. I was afraid that he would become like Neji, so I didn't show him the video tape. But in order to convince him, I told him everything. I also asked him to keep it a secret. After all, I was worried that if the news got out, others would regard Neji as a lunatic. Xiao Li agreed."

"Then what happened?" Senakada was worried. He could hear something wrong in Hinata Naraku's tone.

"At first, Xiao Li followed Neji every day, and he would tell me if Neji had any abnormalities. But after less than a month, Xiao Li stopped reporting to me. He seemed to have forgotten about it. But the strange thing is that he still followed Neji from morning to night every day."

Hinata Naraku said this lightly, but Morinakada felt a pang in his heart.

"You guessed right, Xiao Li was assimilated by Neji." Hinata Naraku said in a heavy tone, "I tried to test him, but Xiao Li didn't remember anything I told him. Instead, he was also focused on finding the well and the woman with Neji."

The word assimilation was used very vividly, and it sent a chill down Senekda's spine.

"I don't understand. I clearly didn't show Xiao Li the videotape, so why did he..." Hinata Naraku gritted his teeth, "I couldn't figure it out until I eliminated all the impossibilities and only had one left. Then I suddenly realized that no matter how unbelievable this last one is, it can only be the truth."

"What you said makes sense, so what is the truth?"

"The name of the videotape is 'Midnight Ring'. The meaning of the name is still unknown, but we can first call the strange things that happened to us the Midnight Ring incident. Then, we can easily get the necessary condition to trigger the incident - watching the videotape once."

"Yeah, that's right, but didn't you let Xiao Li watch the video tape?"

"Xiao Li didn't watch it, but I told him the whole story. In other words, Xiao Li also knew about the existence of the videotape, and knew about the well and the woman. He was an insider of the Ring incident. So, in other words, Xiao Li also watched the videotape in disguise."

"You mean, I don't need to watch the videotape, I just need to know it?" Senakada fell perfectly into the logical trap constructed by Hinata Naraku. He felt that the latter's speculation was particularly convincing.

"That's right. Watching the videotape and being told are both just forms of expression. The common essence is actually - becoming an insider of the Ring incident!" Hinata Naraku's voice was indescribably suppressed. "What I'm not sure about now is how to judge the degree of this knowledge. Do I have to know the original appearance of the whole incident, the contents of the videotape, the well and the woman, or is it enough to just know a little bit, such as just hearing about the existence of the videotape? For safety reasons, we'd better assume the worst case scenario first. You and I must keep it strictly confidential and not disclose this incident to anyone else."

"Why?" Senakeda frowned. He now knew that the matter was far more than just a nightmare. In addition to being terrified, he already had the idea of ​​leaking the information to the outside world and asking for help.

For example, tell him about his uncle Morino Ibiki who works in the torture department.

Hinata Naraku sneered in his heart, but a look of pain appeared on his face as he said: "It was my fault that Xiao Li was assimilated. I don't want any more innocent people to be involved."

Morinakada scoffed at Hyuga Naraku's reasons. He couldn't even take care of himself, so how could he care about the safety of others? He must be a fool.

"In addition, it is also for our own safety." Hinata Naraku's tone was extremely solemn, and he spoke nonsense. "On the one hand, telling others will not benefit us in any way except increasing the number of people who know about it. After all, most of the people who know about it will have their memories modified like Neji and Rock Lee, and become crazy."

"This is indeed a problem." Senakeda looked unhappy.

"Moreover, if the memories of the vast majority of those who know the truth have been altered, we think they are crazy, but we don't know that maybe in their eyes, we two are the ones with real problems. After all, they are the majority, and they are in the same group..." Hinata Naraku's tone was thought-provoking.

Senekda suddenly recalled the strange backs of his three classmates walking away arm in arm in arm in the school corridor, and he shuddered all over.

"In addition, what's even more terrifying is that the more people who know about The Ring, the more likely it is that this incident will become reality from the videotape. By then, it won't be them who have memory problems, but us. This is not the worst. The worst thing is that if that woman really appears in reality, do you think she will be friendly to us?" Hinata Naraku looked at Morinakada meaningfully.

"This is impossible!" Senakeda was so frightened that his whole body went limp, but his mouth remained tough.

"Why not?" Hinata Naraku didn't give Morinakada time to think, and continued to make up stories, "At the beginning, when it was just Neji and I, his memory was confused, and I only had nightmares occasionally. Later, with Xiao Li, the frequency of nightmares increased, from having nightmares every two or three days to having nightmares almost every day."

[Villain's language art level 1 is still in effect, credibility ↑↑]

Wait!

Senakada swallowed his saliva. It turned out that Hyuga Naraku was not exactly the same as himself. He had been having nightmares since the first day.

"After that, you took my videotape away. From that day on, I sometimes had hallucinations in front of my eyes. I couldn't distinguish between reality and nightmares." Hinata Naraku's tone became gloomy and complaining. "I'm sure it must be because you watched the videotape that day."

Senakeda's mouth opened into a hollow shape. He hated himself for his impoliteness that day.

"Finally, today, Xiao Li told me that he remembered where the forest was. He and Neji decided to prepare and go to the forest in a few days."

Hinata Naraku paused for a moment and continued,

"Have you discovered the pattern here? That is, as the number of people who know about the Ring incident increases, the degree to which I am affected becomes more and more serious. No, now you should be included in the list."

Senakada was terrified. He felt that he was a little different from Hyuga Naraku. He had been having nightmares since the first day, and he seemed to have hallucinations when he was in a trance. He also received a strange intercom call.

Well,

The journey that took Hyuga Naraku three months to complete, Senakada only took three days... In this way, he is much more powerful than Hyuga Naraku.

"So, do you still think I'm exaggerating?" Hinata Naraku asked himself, "I'm really afraid that one day when I open my eyes, a woman with disheveled hair will stand at the head of the bed and stare at me with those scary eyes."

“.…..” Senakeda’s eyelids felt sore and he was even more afraid to sleep tonight.

Hinata Naraku looked at the rising fear value on the plug-in prompt, not giving Senakada any room to breathe, "You know, just this morning, Neji suddenly told me excitedly that he remembered the approximate location of the well. He was sure that he would be able to remember it completely in a few days."

"???"

"What do you mean by remember?"

"The well in the video tape really exists in reality, so there must be a woman in the well..."

Senakeda was horrified, his mind was full of wild thoughts and he couldn't stop thinking about them.

Seeing that the time was right, Hinata Naraku raised the corner of his mouth and said solemnly, "Don't panic. Neci hasn't remembered everything yet, and I have already asked him about the approximate location of the well. As long as the well really exists, we can find it before Neci remembers it."

Senakada was in a panic, and seeing Hinata Naraku's confident look, he couldn't help but regard the latter as his backbone and was ready to do whatever he said.

"Yes, we can find that well first." Senakeda nodded subconsciously.

but,

and then?

If a woman really crawled out of the bottom of the well, what could they do? Would they go up and risk their lives?... Although the woman in the nightmare had never shown any force, for some reason, Senakeda was certain that the woman was extremely terrifying, a kind of horror that he himself could not explain.

Just relying on his crude physical skills?

Not very proficient in the Three Body Technique?

Or is it the barely passing theoretical score in "The Will of Fire"?

"Don't be afraid, I have a way. You don't think I haven't prepared anything in the past three months, do you? I have watched that video tape thousands of times. The weakness of that woman is hidden in the video tape." Hinata Naraku comforted Senakada and encouraged him firmly, "Just bear with it for a few more days, and everything will be over. I promise."

"The weakness is hidden in the videotape!!!" Senakeda was stunned.

"I can't tell you now. I'm afraid she'll hear it if I tell her." Hinata Naraku lowered his voice and spoke mysteriously, "I will find the well in three days at most. Then, we will end this nightmare and restore everything to its original state."

Senakada was in a state of confusion, but was finally convinced by Hyuga Naraku that he and Hyuga Naraku were now in the same boat and should trust each other and overcome difficulties together.

"I used to bully you all the time, right..." Senakeda stammered.

He was halfway through his apology when Hinata Naraku frowned and interrupted him, "No need to apologize, I've let it go a long time ago. And after all, I'm also a little responsible for you getting entangled in the Ring incident. If I hadn't put the videotape in my schoolbag that day, you wouldn't have snatched it away."

Senekda looked annoyed, hesitated, and asked, "Then why did you bring the video to school?"

"Oh, after Xiao Li was assimilated, I have been carrying the videotape with me, just in case any tribe member breaks into my house and sees the videotape, but I didn't expect..." Hinata Naraku sighed.

Awkward silence for 1 minute.

"Wait for my news in three days. Remember to keep it secret in the meantime." Hinata Naraku took out the video and stuffed it on the bookshelf, placing it together with a row of dusty "Will of Fire", while instructing Senai Keda, "Hide the videotape and don't let anyone see it again."

Senekda: “Yeah.”

"If you can't bear it, just go to sleep. It's okay. Nightmares won't kill you." Hinata Naraku finally said to comfort him, and said meaningfully, "Don't worry, Sadako doesn't have much time left."

Oh.

It turns out that the woman with the words engraved in her pupils was called Sadako, which was a very appropriate name.

Sen Naike was numb and could only nod mechanically. He watched Hinata Naraku wave goodbye and left, feeling a little touched in his heart: "Hinata Naraku is unexpectedly trustworthy~"

What he couldn't see was that a woman in white was standing behind him and waving her hands. Her black hair was cascading down her face, and her eyes were moving without blinking...
