Kaguya-sama: Love Is War wants me to turn myself in.

The dilapidated, gloomy, and dimly lit room in front of me is the 'haunted house' mentioned in the game.

"The haunted house that you can only enter but never leave, as rumored..." Amamiya Natsuki rubbed her chin. "I wonder if garbage can only enter but never leave. If it can, it would definitely be one of the most valuable discoveries of this century."

"Eh eh eh?!"

Suddenly, Zhu Zhu's eyes widened, her face turned pale, and she nervously pointed to Amamiya Natsuki's shoulder.

Natsuki Amamiya glanced out of the corner of her eye and noticed a pitch-black hand on her shoulder. It was charred black, with sharp nails, and looked sinister and terrifying.

"Yes, yes, yes, there's a hand!"

Lord Zhu Zhu's voice stammered, and he hurriedly tried to get up and run away.

“I see it,” Natsuki Amamiya said, raising an eyebrow. “Don’t move.”

Although she didn't know why Amamiya Natsuki wouldn't let her move, Lady Zhu bit her lower lip, suppressed her fear, and didn't move rashly.

Natsuki Amamiya raised her hand without changing her expression, carefully examining the dark, ghostly hand extended in front of her. She squeezed and kneaded it, observing it closely, and finally concluded:

"Judging from its size, shape, and feel, this is the hand of a girl, or rather, a female vengeful spirit."

Chapter 243 Even with a hood on, the vengeful spirit is no problem.

"What are you doing?!"

Lady Zhu covered her pink lips with both hands, her eyes wide with shock.

Those are the hands of a vengeful spirit, pitch black, with torn and bleeding flesh. They look absolutely terrifying. And you were actually touching them and commenting on them... You're a pervert!

So perverted!

I've never seen anyone with such extreme tastes!

"Your mind is in turmoil." Amamiya Natsuki said calmly. "Calm down, take a deep breath."

Seeing what you're doing would make anyone's mind unsettled!

Natsuki Amamiya added:

“Wraiths usually have their own attack rules. We might get up and run away, and we’ll be attacked by a vengeful spirit immediately.”

"That makes sense..."

Lord Zhu nodded subconsciously.

She had already heard Hai Meng recount her experience in the midnight mall instance and understood that the rules governing the attacks of vengeful spirits were incredibly varied, so running around recklessly was definitely not a wise choice.

“The best way to overcome fear is to face it directly,” Natsuki Amamiya continued. “When facing fear, we should use the method of ‘investigating things to gain knowledge’ to understand and study it, so as to overcome it.”

Lord Zhu covered her mouth, her expression indescribable: "That's a vengeful spirit, how are we supposed to study it?"

“At least we can know one thing,” Natsuki Amamiya said calmly. “The evil spirits in haunted houses have physical forms and can be caught… You agree, right, Zhang San, the outlaw?”

next moment.

A deep, hoarse voice came from behind Amamiya Natsuki.

"...Zhang San is here!"

"Eh?"

Lord Zhu Zhu opened his eyes wide in surprise, then quickly realized what was happening.

It's that "anti-gang and anti-crime" combo technique!

Before entering the game, Natsuki Amamiya had a complete "Sweep Away Evil" skill on her, just in case.

As a result, the outlaw Zhang San attacked directly in the face right from the start. His high-profile and arrogant behavior was so unbearable.

Of course I couldn't stand it.

So Natsuki Amamiya simply took action and grabbed the wrist of the haunted house's vengeful spirit.

Skills are something you use early to cool down quickly, so there's no need to save them.

"Let me see what the vengeful spirit in the haunted house looks like..."

As Amamiya Natsuki spoke, she turned her head to look behind her.

"Tsk~" Amamiya Natsuki paused for two seconds, "You must be the Blackie from Detective Conan, right?"

Lord Zhu Zhu couldn't help but say:

Even Xiao Hei isn't this dark.

In the dimly lit, haunted house, the air was gloomy and the light was dim, but things could still be vaguely seen.

However, the haunted house spirit behind Natsuki Amamiya was completely black, with only a vague human outline visible, much like those African guys who are invisible after the lights are turned off at night. Unless you hold their wrists tightly, you can't find them at all.

Natsuki Amamiya took out a flashlight from her game backpack, turned it on, and the slightly yellowish light immediately dispelled the gloom in the haunted house.

Flashlights are quite useful. After completing the 'Cat and Mouse Game' game last time, Natsuki Amamiya bought one from the mutual aid group.

Brightly lit environments are rare; most dungeons are dark and gloomy, making a flashlight quite useful.

Of course, turning on the lights rashly might attract the attention of vengeful spirits and lead to an attack, but since Miss Vengeful Spirit is now a prisoner, there's no need to worry about the potential dangers of a flashlight.

This time, Natsuki Amamiya and Shushu finally saw the true face of the vengeful spirit in the haunted house.

This is a vengeful spirit, charred black all over, with no hair and not a single piece of clothing on its body. There are faint bulges on its chest, proving that it is female, or that it was a woman before it became a vengeful spirit.

Because he was controlled by the combined techniques of the anti-gang and anti-crime campaign, his body was unable to move. Only his bloodshot eyes were slightly moving, his gaze was fierce, and his face was pockmarked and mottled with blood and flesh, making him look particularly ferocious and terrifying.

Amamiya Natsuki inquired:

"Miss, could you please speak?"

"..."

The vengeful spirit remained silent, offering no response.

"Tsk, it seems you're going to have to suffer the consequences." Amamiya Natsuki's tone turned serious. "In that case, don't blame us for using torture to extract a confession from you."

Lord Zhu Zhu's eyes widened upon hearing this: "Eh? Torture and forced confession?"

That's a vengeful spirit, how are we supposed to torture her to extract a confession!

"There are many ways, but before that, putting a hood over her head is a complicated matter."

As Amamiya Natsuki spoke, she took out a thick yellow paper bag and put it over the head of the vengeful spirit.

“Not bad.” Amamiya Natsuki nodded in satisfaction. “Nice figure. As long as you cover your face, even vengeful spirits won’t be a problem.”

at the same time.

A deep, mellow voice suddenly rang out in the room.

(Another group of visitors arrives in the haunted town. At this moment, a boy comes into contact with the vengeful spirit in the haunted house...)

Amamiya Natsuki frowned slightly and looked at Zhu Zhu beside her: "Did you hear that?"

"I heard."

Lord Zhu nodded hurriedly, nervously grabbing Amamiya Natsuki's sleeve, and looked around, "There's more than one vengeful spirit in the room!"

Amamiya Natsuki's voice was steady: "Keep listening."

(What kind of guys are most likely to be single?)

(I'm lazy and like to lie in bed when I have nothing to do. I'm not talkative and can't chat with others for long. I like to daydream, I'm easygoing, I hate my current situation but I don't have the persistence or willpower to change it. I have low self-esteem and will subconsciously stay away from girls I like because I think I'm not good enough for them. My usual entertainment is only games and comics...)

Hey, what is this weird thing saying?

Do you even know what it means to be enraged by shame?

The voice that echoed from the void continued its narration at a leisurely pace.

(Although I'm not, I can't deny the fact that I'm single.)

(But today, the boy who has been single since birth has finally become the undisputed protagonist, grabbing the vengeful spirit in a shameful manner, putting a paper bag over her head, and saying, 'Nice figure, as long as you cover your face, the vengeful spirit won't be a problem'~)

Lord Zhu Zhu glanced over with a subtle look in his eyes.

The person speaking was undoubtedly Natsuki Amamiya.

She's so good-looking, yet she's never been in a relationship. How shameful.

So... you're not dating Hai Meng yet?

Natsuki Amamiya said expressionlessly:

"The voice just now wasn't a vengeful spirit, but the narrator."

"Eh?"

"I have already received the game notification."

Unrestricted narration

[Whenever the narration begins, you are undoubtedly the protagonist, and everyone will witness your shining moment.]

[Note: Highlighting key moments will improve the final rating of Ghost Stories Archives]

"Hmm..." Lord Zhu blinked twice, "It can improve the rating, which sounds pretty good."

Amamiya Natsuki let out a soft breath and said calmly:

"It's a trap."

"Eh?"

“Everyone will witness this glorious moment…” Amamiya Natsuki looked at Zhu Zhu-sama, “What do you think ‘everyone’ refers to?”

"That must refer to the players, right?"

Zhu Zhu tilted her head and shared her guess, "It feels like there are more than just the two of us; all the players can hear the narration."

Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow and said:

"So, do ghost stories involve narration?"

"Eh? Eh? Eh?" The pink-haired girl's eyes widened upon hearing this, and she asked nervously, "...It can't be that bad, can it?"

Chapter 244 So you're the only one living in a haunted house?
