Gravity Girl Shining

"Stop...stop talking nonsense!"

“It’s a classic that every school must have.”

Chihaya Aine could barely suppress the smile that formed on her lips.

"There are seven mysteries of Yuqiu. I will introduce them to you one by one right away."

Uehara Hibiki quietly held Riki's hand, and felt the slight trembling in his palm, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Don't worry, I will protect you."

Nagasaki Suyo looked at the two people's clasped hands thoughtfully, then glanced at the excited Chihaya Aine and the innocent-looking Takamatsu Touma, and suddenly understood everything and sighed softly.

"It's really... destined to be a lively night."

"The first one is the 'moving mannequin.' It's said that at night, the mannequin in the biology classroom will move around on its own."

"Shut up!"

Shiina Riki quickened his pace and moved closer to Kamihara Hibiki again.

However, in this game, Uehara Hibiki is not safe.

Uehara Hibiki took over the conversation.

"The second one is 'the extra face in the mirror.' When it's late at night and everyone is asleep, you look in the mirror in the ladies' room and besides your own face, there's another unfamiliar face in the mirror."

"You two!"

Shiina Riki stomped her feet in anger. She wanted to let go, but leaving Uehara Hibiki's body temperature would be even more terrifying, so she could only press her body closer.

Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help laughing.

"It turns out Lixi is afraid of ghosts."

"certainly not!"

Shiina Riki continued to be stubborn.

At this point, Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help but feel playful.

"Speaking of the Seven Wonders of the Campus, it seems like every school has one. There's indeed a similar legend in the Moon Forest. At night, at the corner of the second-floor staircase, there's always one more step up than during the day."

"Yes, this is one of the mysteries of Haneda, but it's just the corner of the stairs on the third floor. Others include the sound of balls bouncing in an empty gymnasium and the dry well that swallows people alive..."

"That's enough for you!"

Shiina Riki looked aggrieved and looked at the lamp for help.

Li Xi is asking me if I know?

Gao Songdeng tilted his head and thought for a while, then gave a serious answer.

“I remember the piano playing late at night in the music room.”

“Even the lights!”

Shiina Riki was really about to cry now.

The cat girl also spoke shortly after.

"As for the last one...it should be a ghost student looking for someone to play with?"

"...!"

Shiina Riki looked at the usually taciturn guitarist in shock, as if his last pillar of support had been betrayed.

In response, Kaname just stared at her beautiful heterochromatic eyes and said nothing more.

The wind rustled through the treetops, and Shiina Riki immediately huddled into Uehara Hibiki's arms, not daring to look around, fearing that a "ghost student" would suddenly appear.

Chihaya Aine and Uehara Hibiki exchanged a triumphant look - tonight's prank had just begun.

Chapter 117: The Ghostly Ancient Well.

The night was as dark as ink. The wind blew across the playground of Yuqiu Middle School and toward the nearby woods, causing the leaves to rustle like countless tiny spirits whispering in the darkness. Moonlight coated the treetops with a silver sheen, filtering through the dense summer canopy to cast scattered spots of light on the ground.

And in this silence, six figures quietly moved along the edge of the playground, avoiding the light of the street lamps, like a group of cats walking at night.

"Why are we going this way?"

Shiina Riki looked around uneasily, tugged at Uehara Hibiki's sleeve tightly, and lowered his voice to a very low level.

"Although I didn't come to the high school very often during my junior high school years, generally speaking, shouldn't we enter the teaching building directly from the main gate and then go to the club building?"

Chihaya Aine was leading the way in front. Upon hearing this, she turned around and gestured for silence.

"Hush! Stupid Rikki, there's a duty room in the teaching building. It's the main patrol area for teachers and security guards! If you're caught, you're done! This route is the safest. But..."

"But what?"

Shiina Riki's voice was noticeably trembling.

Uehara Hibiki took over the conversation in a low voice, as if telling an ancient legend.

"This road will pass by the Ghostly Ancient Well, one of the Seven Wonders of Haneda."

The night wind suddenly turned chilly, and the leaves rustled, as if echoing this horrible topic. Shiina Riki's body became noticeably stiff.

"It is said that there is an ancient well in the woods at the edge of the playground. That well existed before the school was built."

Uehara Hibiki continued speaking, but his voice was like a whisper, lingering around Shiina Riki.

"Many students have witnessed a tall, long-haired ghost girl wandering around the well..."

Chihaya Aine added at the right time.

"She was wearing a black gauze dress with a blood-red brooch on her chest. She kept shouting 'grave,' 'grave'... So everyone wondered if she was wandering around the well because she had fallen into it and couldn't be buried."

Uehara Hibiki felt a slight pain in his arm. It turned out to be Riki's fingers unconsciously tightening in fear. It seemed he needed to add more fuel to the fire. So, he spoke again, using his acting skills, and his tone of voice was as if he was discussing a tragedy he had witnessed firsthand.

"Not only that, there was even a sighting where a curious student bravely approached the well. When she looked down, she was suddenly grabbed by the ghost and dragged into the well...leaving only a scream behind her."

"Whoa!"

Shiina Riki hugged Uehara Hibiki's arms tightly and let out a cute cry. Then she realized her loss of composure and tried to remain calm.

"Fake! These are all fake! They're a lie!"

Chihaya Aine's eyes gleamed with mischief.

"Since we're already passing by, why not check out that well? Maybe I can take a picture of a ghost and get some followers on my account!"

"No! Absolutely not!"

Shiina Riki's voice changed in pitch.

"That kind of thing... is not... by the way, we are a band, we don't need to use ghosts as a gimmick to attract audiences."

"Huh? I thought Rikki was scared?"

"Who is afraid!"

Hearing this, Nagasaki Suyo elegantly tidied her hair that was messed up by the wind, and chuckled with her hands covering her mouth.

"Ritsuki, don't be afraid. As far as I know, there has never been a case of students going missing since the founding of Yuqiu School. This urban legend is obviously false."

Li Xi's shoulders visibly relaxed a little: "Really?... Humph, that's what I'm saying. This kind of thing is definitely just a rumor without any evidence."

At this moment, Gao Songdeng suddenly spoke.

"The notes of the former head of the Astronomy Department... mentioned this well."

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to her.

Shiina Riki stared intently at her most trusted companion, her eyes appearing particularly bright in the moonlight, full of anticipation. Shiina Riki knew that Takamatsu Deng was a good boy who would never lie, so...

"The former minister said...she had seen a ghost and found out the truth about it."

Gao Songdeng's voice was very light, but it was enough to make the air freeze in an instant.

“But there was no explanation afterwards.”

Chihaya Aine took a deep breath and said quietly.

"So... the only person who found the truth is no longer in school, leaving behind only this notebook... Did the former director really graduate? Or is it our memory..."

Shiina Riki's face turned pale and his lips trembled slightly.

"You, you did this on purpose!"

Uehara Hibiki suppressed his laughter and grabbed Riki's hand.

"Come, let's go to the well and see if there's a ghost. We'll know when we see."

"No! No! Let me go!"

Shiina Riki struggled frantically, but was no match for Uehara Hibiki's strength, and was half-dragged and half-pulled into the depths of the woods.

Soon, an ancient stone well appeared before them. The edges of the well were covered with moss, which shone with an eerie luster in the moonlight.

"That's right, it's this well."

Uehara Hibiki's voice couldn't help but become serious as he walked in front of the team, protecting the girls in the band behind him.

Shiina Riki was so frightened she couldn't speak. She could only grab Uehara Hibiki's arm and shake her head frantically. Even Nagasaki Suyo was a little nervous, affected by the atmosphere. Although she knew that Uehara Hibiki and Aine were working together to play a prank on Riki, it was like visiting a haunted house. Even though she knew it was fake, she still felt scared because of the atmosphere.

"It's okay, nothing to be afraid of."

Uehara Hibiki pulled away Shiina Riki's hand and strode towards the wellhead.

Shiina Riki stood where she was. She wanted to catch up and grab Uehara Hibiki to stop her from moving forward, but her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

"Wait, Xiang, don't go over there--"

"It's okay, there's nothing to be afraid of anymore."

Uehara Hibiki had already reached the well and looked down with a relaxed look.

"Let me see if there is any You——"

Suddenly, his body stiffened violently, then twisted forward, his face flushed, as if something invisible had grabbed his neck.

"Woo-"

Without time to call for help, Uehara Hibiki could only let out a painful whimper. He was no longer able to resist the invisible force and fell into the well.

"Sound!" ×2.

Nagasaki Suyo and Shiina Riki's screams rang out at the same time, and then there was an eerie silence in the well.

"Hiroshi! Don't joke like that!"

Nagasaki Suyo's voice rarely lost its composure.

As for Shiina Riki, she was almost scared to tears and moved towards the wellhead tremblingly.

"Stupid, idiot... Come out quickly..."

There was still dead silence in the well, no more sound.

"ring?"

Chihaya Aine was also panicked and stood there in disbelief.

"Answer me! This isn't in the plan!"

Behind her, Takamatsu Touma and Kaname Rakuna stood there, both of them with curiosity glittering in their eyes.

But Nagasaki Suyo and Shiina Riki were too busy to care about that. They rushed to the well, their faces pale. However, the moment they leaned over to look down—

"Got you!"

Uehara Hibiki suddenly stood up from the well, stretched out his arms, put his arms around the necks of both of them, and kissed each of them on the cheek.

"Ah ah!"

Shiina Riki screamed and backed away at full speed, almost falling down.

Nagasaki Suyo covered the place where she was kissed, her cheeks flushed.

"Hibiki! This joke is too much!"

Uehara Hibiki jumped out of the ancient well with a loud laugh and brushed off the dirt on his body.
