Tokyo: Am I the only male tenant?

Page 307

Even in the dark, Chie Hoshino can still rely on the skill of listening to determine the location. Her adaptability is really terrifying.

"Sister Tomoko, Mrs. Sasaki, are you upstairs?"

Ginjo Sousuke shouted loudly towards the stairs.

"We are here, Sousuke-kun."

The two ladies were also groping in the dark and slowly joining the others.

"Anyway, I'll contact the boss first."

Sasaki Sachiko said as she took out her cell phone and started dialing.

“So there is this trick.”

In a completely dark space, even the faintest light can come in handy.

Ginjo had forgotten about this matter as he was surrounded by a few panicked girls.

So he took out his cell phone and clicked on the flashlight icon.

The effect is quite significant. The phone projects a bright light. Although it is still slightly insufficient, it can at least restore the hazy vision.

The others also stood still. Ginjo used his cell phone as a searchlight and moved slowly, confirming the locations of Matsumoto Tomoko and her daughter, the Hoshino sisters, and Sasaki Sachiko in turn.

Then──

"Wa ...

Following the chaotic screams, Ginjo saw a very familiar-looking monster standing in the middle of the dark room.

He was wearing a straw coat, straw sandals, big round black eyes and a mask with a bloody mouth.

That was the divine messenger that Ginjo and Hoshino Chie had seen in the altar in the corner of the hall during the day.

The tools flow down.

Everyone's heart rate suddenly increased, beating several times faster than the moment the power went out in the room.

This is no wonder. After all, the monster that did not exist a minute ago suddenly appeared silently in the darkness.

If there are children present, their young hearts will definitely be frightened and traumatized.

However, one person's performance was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Hahaha, you're the boss, right? You're really something. Did you dress up like this to scare me because I was a little curious about the altar during the day?"

"But they also turned off the main power switch, which is a bit too much."

"If you want to play a prank, you have to know the limits!"

Chie Hoshino volunteered to stand in front of the monster and carefully observed the mask on his face and the fur coat on his body.

Everyone knew she was courageous, but no one expected her to be this brave.

Although Yincheng was not that scared, he just stood there and watched cautiously.

Only someone with an unusual way of thinking like Chie Hoshino would take the initiative to approach such unknown things.

"Oh, it's so realistic. It's like a monster that only appears in games."

"Hmm? Uncle, why don't you say anything?"

"Hello? Hey~~Are you asleep in there? How are you──?"

Even though Chie Hoshino kept talking like a machine gun, there was still no response from the other side.

Not only that, the unknown creature disguised as a vulgar figure did not even move.

Chie Hoshino waved her hands in front of Mu Ran's mask and tried throwing a few empty punches, but the result was the same.

People's patience is limited, and Chie Hoshino only tried three times.

"How stubborn! Why don't you say something, you stupid old man?"

Chie Hoshino, along with the mask, gently poked the head of the tool.

"What do you want?"

Chie Hoshino's pokes and complaints received no response.

Seeing that the other party had no reaction at all, a hint of uneasiness appeared on Matsumoto Sachiko's face again.

"Chie-sister, that man is really the boss, right?"

"Hmm, I guess so..."

Except for Chie Hoshino, almost everyone present now thinks that the man is the boss.

However, after discovering that Gu Liuxiaxia didn't say a word from beginning to end, the certainty in my heart was gradually replaced by "I hope he is the boss."

Everyone felt an unusual sense of silence and a strange atmosphere, and their bodies seemed to be corroded and gradually became unable to move.

Finally, it was Yukiko Sasaki who broke the silence.

"Hello? Mr. Megure?"

The name of the boss uncle that everyone was looking forward to hearing, failed to make anyone relax.

Because Sasaki Sachiko's tone was quite nervous, she almost spoke in a hoarse voice.

This definitely did not mean peace of mind, so everyone looked at her with fear.

Now I understood why her tone was so nervous.

Because she is not talking to the "person in the room" but to the "person on the phone".

With a look of astonishment on her face, Yukiko Sasaki moved the phone away from her ear, then tapped the screen, trying to answer everyone's questions.

Then, a familiar voice came from the speaker of the mobile phone.

"Sorry, everyone! The main switch seems to have tripped. Please wait a moment!"

The voice of the cheerful uncle is the owner of this B&B.

"So... So the person standing there is..."

Everyone's faces turned pale and they couldn't help but shed tears again as they looked at the thing in front of them.

"Wow!!"

"Chie?"

The voice didn't sound like Chie Hoshino, so Ginjō used the light of his cell phone to illuminate the surroundings again.

"What's wrong with you two?"

Ginjō couldn't help but widen his eyes, while Matsumoto Sachiko and Hoshino Chiaki covered their mouths with one hand and pointed their other hand in front of them.

No wonder.

Because the tool started to move...

Not only that, he was also scrubbing──

Chie Hoshino’s face? ! ! !

Coo coo coo...chi coo coo...

Holding a sponge soaked with water in his hand, he scrubbed Chie Hoshino's face back and forth...

Chie Hoshino's ten fingers twitched slightly. She was so shocked by the sudden situation that she stood still, as if all the vitality in her body was being absorbed bit by bit.

According to legend, this divine messenger can cleanse the souls of sinners.

It seems that Chie Hoshino has done too many evil things in her daily life, so she became the chosen target?

"Chie? Chie?"

Ginjo couldn't help but yell her name.

"They all smell like fish... Guwa..."

Chie Hoshino collapsed to the ground, as if the real terror was just beginning.

Gubaaaaaaaahh ...!

"Aaaahhhh!!!"

As the beast roared loudly, everyone in the room suddenly fell into panic.

Ginjo, Hoshino Chiaki and Matsumoto Sachiko, who had desperately escaped from the hall, were hiding in the innermost dormitory room on the second floor, not daring to make a sound.

There was another person, but──

"Rest in peace, Chie..."

After placing Chie Hoshino, whose health bar had returned to zero, on the upper bunk, she covered herself with a blanket and finally clasped her hands together.

If it were in the real world, it should be placed in a coffin and then taken away, but if you have to say it, now that we are in the world of Hungry Soul Castle, it would be more appropriate to find a place to hide.

A spectacular death is certainly the most suitable destination for Chie Hoshino. It is too humiliating to be killed by being beaten with a knife like this.

Even so, how could I really die?

That's why Ginjo Sosuke half-dragged her away.

Until a countermeasure is found, your own safety is the top priority.

The power has not been restored yet, but the door of the room has been locked.

Maybe we can buy some time.

"Sister Tomoko and Mrs. Sasaki aren't with us, so they should be okay, right?"

Chiaki Hoshino asked in a low voice, somewhat worried.

"Now we can only believe that they are safe. Since we didn't hear any screams or anything like that, they must have hidden themselves like us."

I sent a LINE message, but the word "read" did not appear.

Matsumoto Sachiko, who was timid by nature, was obviously frightened. She was shaking all over and holding Hoshino Chiaki's arm tightly.

"I wonder who is pretending to be that guy? Could it be a country uncle who has accumulated a lot of pressure?"

"Because you knew there were a few young girls here to play, so you took the opportunity to sneak in and do this?!"
