I started my horror resurgence from Naruto

that night,

Morino Ibiki slept on the bed in Morino Keda's bedroom, and he had a strange, terrifying but intriguing nightmare.

This was the house in the dream. He was lying on the bed sleeping. He woke up in a daze. His eyes, which seemed to be in a dream, barely opened a crack. Through the crack, he glimpsed that the bedroom door was pushed open at some point, and a woman in white was standing quietly by the door.

The woman stood there in silence, her legs only exposed above the knees, with the area below the knees sunk into the ground. She lowered her head, her black hair hanging down on the ground like a living thing, casting a shadow. In the long hair covering her face, one could vaguely see terrifying eyeballs with the word "贞" printed on them, staring at her with a resentful and creepy look.

Morino Ibiki was frightened half to death. His scalp felt like it was about to split and the chill rushed up. He tried to get up in panic, but found that his body was motionless, as if he was tightly bound by countless fine threads. The eerie chill seeped into his bones through the marks on his skin. He could not even bend a finger, let alone make hand seals and cast ninjutsu.

What shocked him even more was that even his eyelids, which had barely opened a crack, gradually became heavy and closed slowly but steadily.

Can you imagine the fear...

A strange woman of unknown origin was standing outside the door, staring at me while I was sleeping with a creepy look in her eyes. But at this moment, not only could I not control my body, I even wanted to close my eyes!

Once I close my eyes, will there be a chance to open them again?

My eyelids became heavier and heavier, my vision became narrower and narrower, and I could only vaguely see the woman's figure slowly moving towards the bed, until my vision was completely plunged into darkness, and only the gradually clear sounds in my ears remained...

Shila-

Ibiki Morino was awakened by the noisy electric sound coming from the intercom. He stood up suddenly from the bed. It was not until this moment that he realized that it was just a horrible dream within a dream.

Even though he realized it was a dream, Morino Ibiki still looked at the door with lingering fear. The door was empty and there was no one in sight. He even searched every corner of the house where someone could hide. When he found nothing unusual, his pounding heart finally calmed down.

and,

What was strange was that during this long period of time, the intercom in the bedroom had not been hung up, and was still patiently outputting electric current sound at a stable frequency.

"It's not my intercom!"

Morino Ibiki picked up the walkie-talkie, which was an extra one in the house, and he gave it to Morino Keda to use.

He connected the intercom, but no one answered. However, he could hear some heavy and hoarse breathing, as if someone was pinching his neck with five fingers and suffocating him.

Ibiki Morino felt something was strange and he subconsciously put the walkie-talkie close to his ear.

then,

A shrill and desperate scream suddenly exploded. At that moment, his scalp almost flew off his head. The whole skull was filled with horrible responses. His hands trembled with fear, and the intercom fell heavily to the floor, upside down, revealing the serial number on the base - 00512871/55787xxx.

[Ghost call resurrection!]

[The ghost called the second line of the number in the phone book - Senai Keda: 00512871/55787xxx]

[It doesn’t matter who the number belongs to, what matters is who answers the number! ]

[The ghost called and marked Morino Ibiki, and she conveyed a death notice to Morino Ibiki!]

[Morino Ibiki's heart almost stopped. He quickly lowered his head to pick up the intercom and turned it off. For some reason, he felt that the scream coming from the intercom was creepily familiar, as if he had heard this voice somewhere before. However, because the voice was a little sharp and distorted, he couldn't remember it for a moment...]

[Fear value +8+6+6…]

Morino Ibiki turned off the intercom with a pale face, then drew open the curtains to let the sunlight in. Just as he was about to turn around, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of an eye in the mirror that left him "unforgettable".

Ibiki Morino stood frozen on the spot, a chill running up his back from the soles of his feet, but after a few breaths, he grinned a smile that was more hideous than crying. He walked quickly to the VCR, pulled out the tape of "The Ring" and held it in his hand.

"Is this an invitation to the test?" Morino Ibiki connected everything together. Although there was still a lingering sense of fear in his heart, he was more filled with surprise and excitement that his guess had been verified.

The strangeness of the unknown is frightening, but once the puzzle pieces of the truth are put together, the fear is invisibly weakened.

Morino Ibiki is now in a state where he feels that he has seen through everything. The more he thinks about it, the more he feels that his speculations are reasonable and well-founded, to the extent that all the buffs of courage, wisdom, calmness, greed... are superimposed on himself like self-suggestion.

and,

As if in response to Morino Ibiki's reasoning, a circle of dull black binding marks appeared on the inner circle of his wrist. They were very thin, like the marks caused by a thin strand of hair.

Morino Ibiki thought of the feeling of being tied up in last night's nightmare, and realized something: "The dream is reflected in the real body. It seems that last night's nightmare and the marks on my wrists are the evidence that I was invited. So, you are the woman that Hinata Naraku is looking for!"

Morino Ibiki stared straight at the pale and strange face of the woman in the mirror, licked his dry lips and reasoned: "The content of the test is the well mentioned in the videotape. Everything about you is buried in that well, and that well is hidden in a corner of the Forest of Death, right?"

Sadako stared at Morino Ibiki expressionlessly, her face slowly sinking into the mirror and disappearing.

Morino Ibiki smiled triumphantly, he became more and more certain that he had uncovered the truth. Even some of the originally planned verifications could be cancelled, because the missing mirror in the bedroom was the best proof.

The reason why Senekada turned the mirror upside down, removed the glass from the bookcase, and closed the curtains... was also because he also saw this face in the mirror.

but,

The more I escape, the more afraid I become. I don't even dare to look at the face in the mirror. How can I find her and complete the test? The right thing to do should be to withstand the fear, walk step by step to her under the terrifying gaze of that woman, and bravely accept the gift she gives.

It should be said that

As expected of being the first listener of ghost stories chosen by Hyuga Naraku, Morino Ibiki's psychological activities were so excellent that Hyuga Naraku, who was peeping at him through the [live text broadcast], couldn't bear to let Morino Ibiki die too easily.

in case,

If this is really a horror game, then even Hyuga Naraku would have to admit that Morino Ibiki's mentality and approach is indeed the most likely way to pass the game.

but,

Unfortunately,

The game has not yet truly implemented and completed the [clearance rewards], so everything is still in the [no survivors] internal testing stage!

Besides,

Morino Ibiki is a listener of ghost stories who has been cursed and marked by both Sadako and Oni Call, which is equivalent to a double [No Survivors] mode. He doesn't think that Morino Ibiki can really survive. What he is more interested in now is, this [lucky player] who has been marked by two ghost stories, in which [ghost story game] will he die in the end?

After all, a person can't die twice!

[Please don't hurt each other's feelings~] Hinata Naraku gently warned in her heart.

[The ghost caller sneered disdainfully!] The intercom on the table shook left and right, and suddenly a silver bell-like clear sneer came out of it.

[Sadako blinked with disdain!] The mirror on the table turned and adjusted its position by itself. An eyeball with the word "Sadako" appeared in the mirror, half-opened and rolled up its eyelids, expressing the contempt vividly.

Hinata Naraku touched his nose bridge helplessly, feeling that his instructions seemed to have backfired and instead aroused the two ghost story tellers' unyielding competitive spirit.

"Uh~"

Hinata Naraku turned off the subtitle prompt, and kindly sent sincere blessings to Morino Ibiki in his heart.

"I hope you really have a brave heart!"
