The Hundred Stories of Miss Ghost

"Really?" Officer Usui bent down, wanting to see Sakurai's situation.

At this time, he suddenly heard an indescribable voice coming from his ear.

The sound was like sawing wood with a saw, like the cry of a baby, or like the cry of some huge creature, desolate and long.

The source of this voice is unknown, as if it came from high school, and it seems to have sounded directly in the head.

At this moment, Usui saw that Sakurai, whose body was already limp on Hitomi and Takao, suddenly opened her eyes. She pushed the two of them away abruptly, and then passed Usui who hadn't had time to react. Acceleration rushed towards the entrance of the roadway, and there was a lot of traffic there.

However, before she could take a few steps, she was suddenly pulled down by some force, and then it was as if she was pressed hard on the ground by an invisible force. However, even though she was firmly pressed to the ground, Sakurai's However, his hands and feet were still thrashing vigorously, like... a drowning person.

Usui, who turned his head to see this scene, held his forehead with his hands, endured the strange tinnitus, and asked Xiaotong in a stern tone: "Mr. Mikazuki, can you explain what's going on?"

Hitomi and Kazuha looked at each other, then Hitomi pursed her mouth, as if doing some psychological training, and then said: "Officer Usui, I asked you a question before... Do you believe in supernatural events? "

"That kind of thing, how can..."

As a criminal police officer, Usui has always been a simple materialist, but before he could finish his words, his mouth couldn't close.

Because he saw Xiaotong extended his palm forward, and then Sakurai, who had just been pressed on the ground, was suddenly caught back by the volley, and then hovered in front of Xiaotong about half a meter from the ground, even if her His hands and feet were still thrashing, but he couldn't move his body anymore.

"This kind of thing...how is it possible?"

The scene in front of him was so beyond Officer Usui's common sense that he even heard the sound of his world view breaking down in his head.

Xiaotong seemed to be hesitating for a moment how to explain, her eyes drifted slightly to an empty place, she nodded slightly, then turned to look at Usui and said: "Officer, you know, I am a Miko of the shrine, the power I can use now was given to me by the gods of our shrine. This is Kazuha Takao, who is a member of the temple family of Mt. Takao Yakuoin. We were also investigating the blue whale game before. , and then we discovered... Our friend seems to have joined this game. You can see her appearance, in this suicide game... there may be some supernatural power. Now Sakurai looks like this... I was mentally affected by something, it seems that I can’t look at these electronic billboards outside, otherwise... I will act out of control and take suicide actions.”

"I'm afraid... not only can't read the electronic billboard..." At this moment, Usui suddenly thought of the blood-stained black notebook and the nine incomprehensible records he saw not long ago.

Even among the recent spate of suicides, that one remains the strangest of all.

He stared at Sanriyue Tong with piercing eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Student Sanriyue, and these two, please come to the police station with me first, I have a lot of things I want to know from you. In addition... I can also show you some internal confidential information, and I hope that you can serve as 'consultants' in the professional field and provide us with some suggestions and references."

Chapter 25 The Pyramid of Bones

Here is a pure white room with no windows and only two doors.One door leads to the outside and the other leads to a bathroom, but there are no mirrors in the bathroom, just the essentials.

The same is true in the room, the layout is extremely simple, there is only a bed, a table and chairs, and a few books on the table, there is nothing else.

I floated into the room and asked Miki Sakurai who was sitting at the desk reading a book: "How do you feel now?"

"Well... I feel much better, I don't have that kind of thought for the time being...well, that...Ning Meng...before, I'm sorry..."

Now this blushing, very shy Sakurai looks a bit like the one I first met.

I waved my hand and said, "It's okay. By the way, Sakurai, can you describe to me, what did you feel like when your... that... your brain was not normal? The body is your own body. control?"

"Well... At that time, I felt rather strange... My body seemed to be controlled by myself. After all, I have memories of my actions and thoughts at that time, but now I calm down and think about me at that time, I It would feel like it wasn't me, but something else... I felt at that time that something was calling me, and death was to me at that time... It was like a kind of coming home, even as if To return to the feeling of mother's amniotic fluid, very warm, very happy and joyful..."

Indeed, Sakurai’s expression at that time was a very excited and joyful smile. Also, the five girls who committed suicide I saw at the crossing also had very happy and strange smiles at the end. The girl who fell from the building in Sakurai’s painting The expression in the air is also the same, so it is also the feeling they feel at the last moment of their lives. Is it this kind of happiness that seems to be returning to the mother's body?

It's really hard to understand, why is there such a weird feeling?

I asked Sakurai again: "So, how much do you know about the organizer of this 'Blue Whale Game'?"

Sakurai shook his head in embarrassment, "Sorry, I really don't know much about this. In fact, the manager of this game... gave me a feeling of very distinct levels... I don't know the original organization of this game at all Who is the player, probably only the first players who participated in the game know who this person is, but most of these initial players are now managers. Managers will continue to create groups to recruit and persuade new players to join , they are responsible for managing the group they formed, and then new players will continue to create groups after graduation, just like pyramid schemes spread out layer by layer... I even heard such a saying from other players, that is The more new players you induce, the higher your position in the new world will be..."

I remembered that I had heard this statement from the koala too, so thinking about it, she should also be a manager.

I tentatively asked: "You said that these new players can only create new groups to recruit people after 'graduation', so that means, all these managers...?"

"Yes, they are all dead. However, for them, death is not the end. If they know that after death is nothingness, even they will hesitate when they choose to commit suicide. Religion is for People are willing to endure the pain of this world, and they will also promise them the afterlife or enter heaven after death, but these cannot be proven. But... the scary thing about this blue whale game now is that... it can immediately ask Those who are still hesitant prove that after death, it is really possible to transform into another form and enter the 'new world'. All the managers are 'graduates'. This is the best evidence Ah. I was persuaded to join this game because they convinced me that there is a way to revive you, Ning Meng, but the purpose of other people who want to participate in this game is different from mine. Most of them are depressed people who are unhappy in reality. Losing this body and going to that brand new world is simply more attractive to them..."

Therefore, this is an organization with a clear program, fanatical beliefs, and a pyramid-like structure, and each layer of the pyramid is made of bones. With this tree-like structure, victims I am afraid that the number of people will increase exponentially as time goes by. This is entirely an evil design to guide more people to commit suicide as efficiently as possible. Just thinking about it a little bit makes people gasp.Any purely vicious murderer cannot be compared with the creator of this game. This person may be comparable to the cult leader who directed the Tokyo sarin gas case. Much more dangerous.

There is no time, this terrible game must be ended as soon as possible.

"Then Sakurai, you should rest here first. If you go outside now, it may still be very dangerous, and you will lose your mind easily. Kazuha said that she will be here with you. In short, don't worry, I will soon Find the guy who organized this game and kill him!"

Sakurai raised her hand and opened her mouth, but she hesitated to speak, she pursed her lips, and finally said: "Well... Ning Meng, you come on~ Although... compared to the Ning Meng I knew in the past, You seem to have changed a lot, but... in terms of being worth relying on, you have remained the same."

"Oh, of course, wait for my good news~"

I waved at Sakurai, turned around and left the room.

This place is actually a certain villa of the Sakurai family.After knowing and believing this extremely bizarre thing through the police, as well as the live demonstration by Xiaotong and me (of course, the purpose of Sakurai’s participation in the Blue Whale game must be kept secret), Uncle Sakurai began to mobilize the power of some of his media, Begin to completely block the blue whale game.The Sakurai family is a tycoon in the traditional newspaper and TV media industries. Although their power in online media is far less than that of Twitter and Instagram, they still have considerable influence.

Among the topics of the Blue Whale game, one is to publish "I am a whale" on social media. Social media and the police will search and pay attention to the person who posted such information, and try to locate and forcibly control it.

In addition, due to the MLM nature of this game, a group manager may affect a larger group of people.In order to reduce the probability of those potential game participants joining the real blue whale game, the police have also developed some high imitation blue whale games. Get up early in the morning to read and recite English words, draw three inverse proportional functions with a marker on your arm, run 4 meters in the morning, post "I am a good student" on social media, and learn the ancient Chinese prose "I am a good student" if you want to become a flying whale Getaway" and other topics.To join the game, you need to submit your name and address, and community police will come to ensure that participants will not quit after joining.

However, this is only a palliative, not a permanent solution.Behind the real blue whale game, there is a strange force, and the real organizer must be found.

I drifted towards Hitomi who was waiting there, beside her, Police Officer Usui was showing her some photos.

"There is a rather weird case scene, I would like to invite you to take a look at the scene." Usui said.

Chapter 26 Obedience

(To make up for last night, I was too sleepy to fall asleep last night)

Sitting in the back of the police car, Hitomi and I were flipping through a file given to us by Police Officer Usui.

Yuma Kawakami, male, 28 years old, is an investigative reporter by profession.

This is the information about a Blue Whale game suicide described in the dossier in Xiaotong's hand, which is what Police Officer Usui said, and it is also the weirder one among all suicide cases.

The cause of death was swallowing and chewing razor blades, which cut the trachea. The body may have been placed in the bathroom for more than a week. Because the strong odor attracted the attention of the neighbors and reported the case to the police, his body was discovered by the police .

Isamu Kawakami lives in a very common rental apartment with a total of four floors. The landlord mother-in-law of the apartment took us to the innermost room on the second floor. While walking, she said in a rambling manner: "Mr. Kawakami has been renting my house for two years. In fact, he has always been a very cheerful and kind person in the past. It was never expected that he would do such a thing. However, in the past month, his The appearance is indeed a bit strange. First of all, it is necessary to install anti-theft nets on the windows. What if there is an earthquake? Moreover, the rented house is not allowed to be remodeled casually. How could he be asked to install such things? What will the neighbors next door think after installing them? What? In the end, he was very stubborn, saying that he would pay for the additional installation, and doubled the rent, so I reluctantly agreed, but after the installation was completed, he entered the room and could not come out. I looked at the garbage, and then it seemed that even the door was sealed. Sigh... he looks so strange, if I knew it, I would not have rented it to him at that time. Now the room has become an accident object, and I am afraid that the rent will be halved in the future. what……"

Silently listening to my mother-in-law's chatter, Xiaotong and I walked into the room. The room is a 1DK with an area of ​​about seven or eight square meters. There is no balcony, and all the windows have traces of being sealed with black tape.The furnishings in the room are also extremely simple, almost similar to the room I just saw in Sakurai.

Officer Usui is telling us why he thinks this case is suspicious——

"Among all the suicides, Yuma Kawakami may be the oldest one at present. Unlike other suicides in the Blue Whale game, Yuma Kawakami showed a strong desire to save himself. From his occupation, and his According to some notes left at the scene, his purpose of participating in the blue whale game was not to really want to commit suicide, but just to investigate this game that induces suicide among teenagers. However, this person committed suicide in the end. It was quite tragic. Originally I thought... After playing this game, his mind gradually became abnormal, and he would eventually commit suicide, but there are still many things that don't make sense... If we say that there is really something supernatural here In terms of the impact of the incident, many problems can be easily explained, so I would like to ask you to see if there are other... clues belonging to that side."

Xiaotong first went to the anti-theft window installed on Kawakami to have a look, and after just a glance, she immediately turned to look at me, and I nodded to her affirmatively.

The glass of the window was covered with handprints invisible to ordinary people, and these handprints appeared on the outer side of the window.These handprints are thin and wide, and have different shapes. It is obvious... that they are the handprints of several people.

Perhaps, Mr. Kawakami installed this anti-theft window against common sense, not just because of nervousness.

Next, there was a black notebook originally placed on the table by Kawakami.The real notebook has been taken away by the police as important evidence, and what we see is the photo given to us by Officer Usui.

First of all, the nine items written on the originally spread page, at first glance, are just the ramblings of a victim of delusional disorder, but, through Sakurai's incident, I realized that these items are probably correct with a high probability .

On the night when Sakurai wanted to commit suicide, I saw some very secret and flashing words on the electronic billboards outside and on the big screen. The content of the text was to instruct Sakurai to commit suicide. It was after reading these words that I suddenly lost my mind.

Police officer Usui also said that he heard a strange and long cry that night, and it was later confirmed that what he heard was the cry of whales.

Electronic equipment with a screen and sound, these two items have already corresponded to the records in this notebook.

Xiaotong still stayed where he was and continued to read the previous part of the notebook, while I went through the wall and turned into the bathroom.

A large human figure was painted in white on the floor and walls of the bathroom, and the blood splattered everywhere had dried up.Police officer Usui didn't let Xiaotong see the photos of the scene, but in the description, the deceased fell here naked.

There seemed to be no reason to take off his clothes before committing suicide, and judging from the clothes in the dirty clothes basket at the scene, he was supposed to be going to take a bath?I looked up and I saw a natural gas water heater.

There is a small two-finger wide electronic screen on the water heater to display the water temperature and various control options. This electronic screen was originally sealed with a piece of black tape, but it was probably because it was wet with water. The black tape was not glued firmly, and one corner was drooping down slightly.

It feels like the case has been solved. The electronic screen can indeed display text. Is it just such a small screen that makes Mr. Kawakami fall short?

【8. Use electrical appliances as little as possible, and do not use them unless it is absolutely necessary. 】

Mr. Kawakami probably lost on this point, the Japanese obsession with taking a bath.

I always feel... There is an unstoppable chill in the back.

However, I have some doubts.

Since this game can use electronic devices and sounds to directly brainwash people and make people commit suicide, then finding a way to release this sound publicly, or hacking into all mobile phones and TV screens to send messages will not be enough to make the whole world Human beings committed suicide together, why is it so troublesome to recruit new people little by little like a pyramid scheme?

It occurred to me that Sakurai's situation at the time was that what was presented on the electronic screen was the "final topic".

So, does it mean that this effect will finally appear only after completing the previous subjects step by step?

If you don’t consider the influence of the supernatural, from a psychological point of view, watching horror movies in the early morning, engraving and drawing patterns on the arm, wandering around the top of the building, etc., is originally a suicide attempt that is approaching the end bit by bit. , Most of the people who participated in the game were depressed and weak-willed people. They may have had suicidal thoughts but did not dare to try it. These topics guided them to try a little bit, weakened their fear of death, and made them feel more Desperately isolated.At the same time, just like Yale University’s famous authority obedience experiment, accepting orders again and again to complete the project will make them more accustomed to obeying without thinking. In the end, even very outrageous orders will be executed without hesitation.

However, this obviously cannot explain the even more outrageous brainwashing effect that happened to Sakurai and Kawakami.

Speaking from a supernatural level... After completing these subjects, has there been any change in people?

I went back to the living room, and at this moment, I saw Xiaotong beckoning to me vaguely.

"Sister, look at this." She handed me the photo in her hand.

Chapter 27 Investigative Journalists

July 7 (Wood) overcast

Today, I attended the funeral of my niece Saki.

My brother cried until he choked up at the funeral, and I also recalled the scene when Sha Ji surrounded me and called me little uncle and asked me to play with her.

The cause of death was suicide by falling from a building, and the case is clear without any doubt.Even if I had an occupational disease, I investigated whether Sha Ji was bullied at school, or whether he was alone with some male teachers, but I didn't find anything suspicious.

The only strange thing is the whale pattern carved with a knife on her arm.

Sha Ji is a precocious child who always starts to think about such grand propositions as life and value prematurely, and then comes to a conclusion that life is meaningless.Although it seems to me that she has a second illness, in her opinion, she has undoubtedly discovered the truth of how the world works.

However, even so, at most, Sha Ji would only look back on her current self and feel ashamed after many years, and she should never die at her most beautiful age at this time.

I will continue to investigate.

-

July 7 (sat) cloudy

I paid attention to the recent reports and found that the number of student suicides has increased a lot. Then, I searched for blue whales or whales as keywords, and found some interesting things.

Sha Ji committed suicide, and she posted a dynamic message "I am a whale" on her twitter.

At the same time, a classmate A she followed also posted such a post, and this classmate A just committed suicide two weeks ago.

Then, in the network of the girl A who committed suicide last week, a girl B who followed each other also posted the same news. Girl B is a student of another school, but she is in the same middle school as A. Judging from the interaction , are closely related.

Girl B cut her own aorta two months ago in the school girls' toilet and died of excessive bleeding.

Then, from the relationship network of A and B, we can find two or three people who posted information and committed suicide.

There are so many suicides in such a small circle, which is obviously abnormal, which makes me feel that this "whale" is like a virus that will spread among acquaintances.

Taking each suicide as a node, and connecting two nodes that pay attention to each other or have obvious interactions in the chronological order of posting whale dynamics and suicides, then I got a map—like a virus transmission path.

B branched out several fulcrums, including A, and A branched out several fulcrums, among them... including Shaji.

No node that appeared earlier than B was investigated. Does this mean... B is the source of this series of suicides?

And Shaji... Will the node of Shaji...will continue to fork?

Ah, my phone suddenly started vibrating.

? ? ? ? ?

what do i seeA message from Saki? ?

Sha Ji, Sha Ji is actually asking me - "Uncle, are you investigating my friend?"

July 7 (Sun) Rain

I'll probably never forget last night's experience, I was so shocked I forgot to take notes.

Dead Saji sent me messages or something, I thought I must be crazy.

She said that she is not dead, but alive in another form.

She said that her side is an ideal land, a land promised by God in the covenant, a land flowing with milk and honey.

She said a lot that I couldn't understand.

Because I feel the creeps.

She invited me to join a game, she said it was a ticket to the new world, only the chosen ones could get it.

I agreed.

Maybe it's because I want to see my niece again, or maybe it's an occupational disease. I want to know what the utopia looks like.
