I'm on the scramble

To put it simply, everyone stays in a dark room and lights a hundred candles. Everyone gathers in a circle and tells strange tales in turn. After each one is finished, the person blows out one of the candles. game.Rumor has it that when the last candle is blown out, strange things happen.

Just thinking about it will cool you down and relieve your heat. It is a game suitable for playing in a scene like a hot spring.

It's just that some people don't want to participate in this game so much.

"Ali, I'm going back to my room first..." Ranbu first stood up as if nothing had happened.

Others followed suit: "Then I too..."

"Hey! Do you dare to go and have a try?"

Ah Li slapped the table angrily, and the poor table legs squeaked and almost fell apart.Through this plot, all the people who replaced their end were immediately restrained and did not dare to move, and even the momentum of chaotic steps was sluggish.

Among other things, Luanbu can use 26 years to prove that his green plum is really fierce when she gets angry.

Tanizaki and the others, who were about to run away, trembled: "Miss Li, can't we change to a friendlier game?"

Everyone managed to live to such a great age, who doesn't know that this is a game of summoning souls!What's more, if you still play with her, even if you have nothing to do, something will happen!

Obviously they are all men, but showing such a useless performance, Ah Li immediately pursed her mouth in disappointment, and she immediately stood up with her hands on her hips to cheer everyone up.

"What are you afraid of? It's just a game. Even if something really pops up, isn't there me?"

Everyone dared not speak out, she said it so nicely, but she didn't make it clear what she meant by 'play or die'.

Seeing that the situation has come to an impasse, Dazai, as the indispensable right-hand man in President Rei's blueprint for the future, decides to seize this opportunity to stand up.He stood up and glanced around at everyone, but still firmly stayed beside the girl to express his position.

"Everyone, this is a proposal specially thought out by Ms. Li for everyone. In front of such a lovely girl, are you all at this level?"

As he said that, he smiled lightly: "It's not as good as me."

This black-haired young man obviously knows how to use micro-expressions to maximize sarcasm, but with a slight parting of his thin lips, the words can turn into cold sharp arrows, deeply piercing the feet of those who want to retreat.

The harsh words mocking the full level aroused the blood of male animals, and the boys who originally wanted to quit all changed their aura in an instant.

Luanbu grabbed Ah Li's arm, walked around her and stood up to meet the young man who dared to say such words, Danfeng narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Dazai, it's not so easy for a real detective to pretend that you haven't heard of the provocation you deliberately made in front of Ah Li."

Dazai was still smiling, as if he was not the one who issued the gauntlet.

Ah Li was caught between the two and became the most concave existence in the valley lined up by the three of them. He stared at the bamboo horse who stood up and blinked: "Random steps...?"

In short, is this a promise to play with him?

The detective's speech seemed to be a signal, and other than him, the others also walked down the steps at this time.

A light-blond young man who was not at all afraid that his skin color would be even more terrifying when he mixed in the darkness said with a smile: "I have no problem. After all, it was Xiaoli who made the request. It is actually more difficult to refuse than to agree."

Conan next door twitched his mouth: "Hey..."

——Does this mean that the situation is not chaotic enough?

In fact, Mao Lilan present is actually the one who fits the mentality of a girl most among so many people.She can be said to be terrified, very terrified, of strange stories and the like, and couldn't help but take Yuanzi's arm for support: "Do you really want to play this..."

"Don't be afraid, how can there be ghosts in the world." The big-hearted Yuanzi embraced his friend with one hand.

Hearing her words, everyone in the Armed Detective Agency retorted inwardly.

(...No, there is a woman named Reli Fukuzawa, she will tell you that there are not only miraculous things that cannot be explained by science in this world, but also such things will be violently beaten by her.)

But probably because Dazai stimulated his dignity, Atsuya raised his hand tremblingly: "I, I think I should be able to hold on..."

Tanizaki next door was as unbelievable as if he saw someone who was blinded by beauty and stumbled into the sea, so he hurriedly grabbed him and lowered his voice to dissuade him: "Don't be impulsive, Don!"

However, participation in this game seems to be the general trend.This obstruction did not have the desired effect, and the rest of the people gradually made psychological preparations.

The flower bag was tightly wrapped in the quilt, and when he was nervous, he boasted: "Since... If this is the case, then I will stay. Isn't it just a strange story? I can say a hundred with my mouth."

"I don't care, on the contrary, I like the bloody things better." Yu Xie Ye said with a half-smile, "It's time for dinner."

Jinghua also said that there is no problem, she has already made up her mind that "where there is Ah Li, there is her".

Seeing this, Xianzhi happily expressed his opinion: "As expected of Miss Li, it feels very interesting!"

In the end, Kunikida was the only one left to resist stubbornly, Ah Li couldn't help but focus on him, there was a wild light in his almond-like round eyes, and he was looking forward to his answer.

"No matter what you pretend to be this time, I will never agree."

Unexpectedly, Kunikida showed his attitude of extreme resistance like never before, which wasted Ari's expression in vain.So she simply stopped acting and returned to her normal threatening state.

"I know, Kunikida has always been afraid of such things."

Ah Li twirled the broken hair around his cheeks, and picked up the shameful memories about him in the past lightly: "It's like a school trip in high school before, everyone held an adventure conference at night, and you were scared to cry the whole way. I still remember it clearly."

Kunikida's momentum was weakened a bit: "Don't, don't say it..."

But Ari didn't say anything, Dazai, his partner who knew everything about him, connected perfectly: "That's right, we need to understand Kunikida-kun's delicate and sensitive mind. I still remember when Atsushi first joined the company, the three of us searched for clues in the abandoned hospital Kunikida-kun actually screamed like a girl out of fear, probably because he couldn't adapt to that terrifying atmosphere at all~"

"Ah, I promise, I promise! Don't say any more!"

Kunikida, who couldn't bear the strange and pitiful eyes of outsiders, endured the shame and finally decided to give up on himself.

Ah Li, who successfully persuaded the last stubborn participant, immediately raised her hands and cheered, and her clothes swayed in the air with her actions, like tidbits floating in the mountains and fields.

"Yeah - great!"

However, the biggest hero in this matter is Dazai, who can be said to have made everyone obedient and obedient.Ah Li is a grateful person, and immediately sent a moving and loving look to the bandaged young man next to him.

Dazai showed a soft smile very cooperatively: "I understand, so you don't have to show me that 'Daddy loves you' look in your eyes, Ms. Li."

Ah Li quickly put away her smile: "Can you stop beautifying me too much without authorization? Obviously there is only 'Dad' and no 'Love You'."

A famous detective snorted from behind, and he obviously felt the same way.

Afterwards, the strong and strong Zero first carried his teacher Mori Kogoro back to the room before returning.According to Ah Li's order, the service staff of the hot spring villa also came to arrange the venue for them. Fortunately, there were spare candles in stock in the villa, otherwise the game would not be able to go on.

"Thank you lady boss!"

Ah Li thanked the proprietress who put in a lot of manpower and effort. Unexpectedly, the service attitude of this hot spring villa is surprisingly good, and she never asks unnecessary things, in order to try her best to leave a good impression on this place.

The proprietress smiled humbly and bowed: "It is what we should try our best to make the guests live here and have a good time. Please enjoy it to the fullest."

So they arranged a hundred white candles neatly on the long table just now, lit a match one by one, and asked the staff to turn off the lights in the room.

Until the moment the switch was pressed, there was a 'pop', and the whole room reflected the scene of two rivers of darkness and light separating each other.

The flames illuminated everyone's faces, deepening their outlines.Staring at the miserable white wax pillars, the atmosphere immediately had an inner taste, and Xiaolan even unconsciously clenched Conan's hand next to him.

"Then who will come first? Sure enough, it's me. I guarantee with my experience in more than 4000 supernatural cases that you will definitely make this night unforgettable!"

Ah Li's face was full of eagerness to try.

Everyone instantly looked like 'Don't lean over me'.

"No, really no need."

It's a pity that the refutation was invalid, and Ah Li sat down very excitedly to announce the rules.

"Then after I've finished speaking, take turns clockwise!"

In fact, according to the stricter rules of the game, everyone should stay in the dark room, and the person who has finished telling the story needs to go to the next room full of candles alone, blow out one of the candles on the table, and then shine again. The mirror inside can only be returned.There is no doubt that the above method will add more terror, but they have made adjustments and feel that the current atmosphere is better.

A circle of people gathered around the long table to eat snacks, drinking from time to time to relieve their mood.Ah Li can't drink, and like Ranpo next to him, he's a soda drinker.She took a deep breath, and the surrounding environment suddenly became quiet because of the flow of her breath.

goo-dong-

In a trance, someone seemed to hear the sound of himself swallowing saliva unconsciously.

"It was a morning like no other, and the lady of the house was sitting in her favorite armchair as usual..."

While the girl was talking, she picked up one of the candles on the table, and the candlelight covered her lips with a layer of orange, and as her lips opened and closed, the breath from the gaps blowing on the candle. The flames flickered, adding a bit of treachery.

"The armchair is very soft, and it is a new item she bought not long ago. Whenever she completely relaxes and falls into the chair for a light sleep, she feels as comfortable as if there are two hands gently catching her, and she swayed in her sleep. , like a cradle for a sleeping baby. This strange comfort made her love this chair so much that one day she found that there was a cut in the back of the chair that would be ignored if she didn’t pay attention. Get in the way of her liking the chair."

"Miss is sitting in an armchair as usual today to deal with the letters on her desk. Because of her unparalleled beauty and talent, she has helped many people solve their difficulties, so she often receives letters from admirers for her, Pray that she will be invited to meet again."

"But that lady was attracted by a strange and heavy envelope today. Presumably this should be the sender's enthusiastic expression, she opened the envelope without any doubt, and took out the stack of letter paper inside to read."

"At first I thought it was a letter that was not much different from the past, but when the young lady glanced down two or three lines, she couldn't help feeling a terrifying premonition in her heart. That cat-like paranoid curiosity drove her to Have the courage to read on."

"The man in the letter affectionately called her 'Dear Miss'. The reason why he knew he was a man was because the other party described in detail about his recent troubles."

"'——I must bear to you, miss, the incredible crimes I have committed so far.' These are the first words the man said in the letter."

The people listening to the story unconsciously swallowed their saliva here, and listened to her continue with bated breath, as if they had a premonition that some kind of terrifying unknown would unfold to them from this moment.

"In the past few months, the man has almost lived a life of walking dead. He is tired of this world. Maybe he will bid farewell to this world in the next second. Until one day, he was lucky enough to learn from a book. Acquiring the craftsmanship of making chairs, he spent sleepless nights immersing himself in the ocean of knowledge, holding dispensable ideas, and created an exquisite armchair. While stroking the wonderful curvature of the chair, he accidentally Scratching the leather of the back of the chair, staring at the dark gap that seems to be able to swallow people's hearts, in a short moment, he actually thought, "If only I could integrate myself with the chair and sleep forever in comfort ' grotesque notion."

"Once this idea appeared, it was like a flame that extinguished the grassland, completely engulfing all his thoughts. In recent days, he has only been fully occupied by this crazy idea."

"He frantically tore up the gap that was inadvertently cut, endured his own pain, peeled off the 'flesh and bones' that were inseparable from himself, and stuffed them into the gap of the armchair bit by bit. It's like filling the wreckage of my dream into another completely different world... Just imagine how happy it would be if the woman sitting on this chair was embraced by my arms ——It is a miracle that people can be infinitely close to each other without distinguishing between beauty and ugliness, without considering the difference in status and status!"

"He decided to find a wonderful lady to be the owner of this masterpiece, and delivered the chair to the office of the woman he liked by winning prizes through TV shopping."

"Miss saw this, and suddenly stood up from the chair, as if she was sitting on some kind of scourge. She made this move only because there was a paragraph at the end of the letter: 'I think when Miss sees this letter, I already know what happened to me. Please don’t be sad, and don’t be afraid, my flesh and blood will take my soul and guard you forever... Yes, ah, finally, miss, the beauty I’m talking about is actually you .I dare not expect too much. If you can feel a little bit of love and affection for me, please look behind—'”

Speaking of this, Xiaolan couldn't help letting out a short scream, and she tightly pinched Yuanzi's arm beside her, as if the horror in her throat was about to overflow.Luanbu next to Ah Li accelerated the speed of eating snacks like a hamster hoarding food. He ate so fast that he didn't even care about the crumbs falling all over the table.

At the moment when everyone was extremely nervous, the girl who was telling the story finally turned up the volume angrily and said the final ending.

"I looked back according to what I said in the letter, and that bastard Dazai actually appeared from the back of the chair with a plate of snacks, saying that the armchair was a failure that he made casually trying to see if he could slip himself into it. , and have the guts to ask me if it’s easy to use!”

Everyone almost choked to death with the breath stuck in their throats, and shot each other in the head.

"So it was the 'ghost' created by the two of you——!"
