You say this is a love game?

Makoto Mizutani walked directly to the third toilet cubicle and knocked on the door three times, forcibly triggering this horror story.

"Hanako, let's play together."

If Hanako-chan had a choice, she would probably scream in horror, "Don't come over here!" or something like that.

But Hanako-chan had no choice.

This is the core content of "Hanako-chan in the Toilet". When Mizutani Makoto pushed open the toilet door of the third cubicle in this way, there was immediately the sound of a skipping rope breaking through the air. The skipping rope, which was like a thorn and would cause bleeding immediately upon touching it, was now directly grasped tightly by Mizutani Makoto in his palm. Violent lightning was jumping in his palm, making crackling sounds.

Looking up, Koizumi Hanako was hanging upside down on the ceiling.

"Yata no Kusanagi."

A huge thunderbird appeared, almost filling the narrow toilet cubicle.

Koizumi Hanako waved her hand, and suddenly thick darkness swept up from all directions. Mizutani Makoto had suffered a severe beating from this "illusion", so he was naturally on guard now. The strong power of thunder immediately burst out from Chidorimaru's body, and the spreading thunder prison blasted all the evil tricks into pieces.

After being struck by two waves of lightning in succession, Hanako Koizumi was unharmed.

Mizutani Makoto frowned.

When he fought with Koizumi Hanako for the first time, he realized one thing - the blade would go straight through her body when it landed on her. He originally thought that it was due to some rules or spiritual means, but now he saw that even the power of thunder, which was the most powerful force against evil spirits, could not hurt her at all. The dense electric light only made her body slightly blurred for a moment, and then it returned to normal. He immediately realized that there was something fishy going on.

This is no ordinary spirit.

--phantom.

There were moments of touch, but they were divided into several categories: the piercing of a sword, the feeling of the phantom being weak when touched, and the brutal force of her pressing her head into the toilet pit...

This guy, the mechanism is quite complicated, huh?

So where is her real body?

Mizutani Makoto's mind was racing.

Hanako Koizumi definitely has a real body. When she violently stuffed him into the toilet pit, it was the jump rope that was wrapped around his ankles, and it was her hands that grabbed his shoulders and held down his head. Those were real, tangible forces.

She definitely has a physical body, it's just a matter of transformation.

And now the figure fighting with him is just a substitute to attract fire.

The true body...

"where?"

The thoughts in Mizutani Makoto's mind flashed extremely quickly, and his movements were also very quick. He retreated from the toilet cubicle almost instantly.

The jump rope that once wrapped around his ankles was now easily broken free by him.

Koizumi Hanako's entanglement is completely meaningless. He was able to break free from the phantom's entanglement at the paper level before, so how dare this phantom now entangle him with its weak sense of entity?

He immediately turned sideways, his elbow slamming directly into Koizumi Hanako, almost knocking the phantom out of existence for a moment. Chidori Maru briefly vanished from his grasp, and he grabbed Koizumi Hanako's phantom, imitating the essence of the throwing technique he learned from Kitajima En, and threw the little boss out.

Bang! !

It hit the wall of the toilet and the phantom completely disappeared.

He injected his spiritual power into Chidorimaru, helping it to quickly generate the power of thunder.

Chidori Maru vibrated in the air, making a low humming sound.

Mizutani Makoto's eyes fixed, and he suddenly stepped on the ground, rushing towards the broken mirror he saw at the beginning like an arrow.

At first, he saw Hanako Koizumi in this mirror.

The prop [Koizumi Hanako's handkerchief] was also directly immersed in the mirror, hugging her in the mirror.

Just as he approached, Mizutani Makoto raised Chidori Maru high, and the lightning gathered on the blade into a dazzling arc.

Cut off!

Just when Chidorimaru was about to be cut down.

Ka La——

A strange sound came from the depths of the broken mirror.

Immediately afterwards, a hand covered with stitches suddenly emerged from the cracks in the mirror, trying to block Mizutani Makoto's slash.

But can she stop Chidori?

Mizutani Makoto didn't even need to gather strength. As a vengeful spirit, he was naturally at an extreme disadvantage against the brilliant thunder!

boom! !

Lightning exploded, and the hand in the mirror was instantly split into charred fragments, turning into black mist and dissipating into the air.

And under this explosive impact, the mirror exploded!

Debris flew everywhere, and the air was filled with the smell of burning and the lingering sound of electricity.

And a figure curled up in the depths of the mirror also staggered out from the mirror at this moment.

Hiding here!

Hanako Koizumi fell to the ground.

Her body was still tattered, covered in stitches, like a puppet pieced together from scraps of flesh. Tears of blood streamed from her eyes, her lips were cracked and purple, and her entire being exuded an aura of decay and resentment.

The girl held the handkerchief tightly in her hand, as if she was grabbing the last straw.

Her eyes... compared to the anger and resentment shown by the phantom, were mostly filled with fear.

Makoto Mizutani stood in front of the broken mirror, looking straight into the pitiful soul.

"Do you want to end this?"

he asked.

This vengeful spirit trembling with fear had no consciousness to communicate with.

She hugged the handkerchief tightly in her arms, and tears of blood kept dripping down.

Mizutani Makoto took a deep breath, but there was no hesitation in his eyes.

He raised Chidorimaru again and locked it tightly on the trembling Hanako Koizumi.

boom! !

Lightning burst out.

He held the Thunder Blade in his hand, and there was no need for much technique at this moment. The big sword in his hand was enough to chop down the vengeful spirit completely.

Hanako's figure quickly faded in the lightning, turning into countless charred gravel and drifting away in the wind.

The women's restroom returned to silence, leaving only a broken mirror and scattered glass fragments on the ground.

Soul +269

After being weakened, the soul given by Koizumi Hanako is still a higher-level soul.

This crack is not a good place. Letting Hanako Koizumi continue to stay here will only make her suffer. It would be better to send her to the afterlife.

Mizutani Makoto picked up Hanako's dropped items and found that there were two items in total.

First, there is no need to say much about the item [Hanako-chan's Spirit Core]. Almost every high-level BOSS has one.

However, this spirit core is not in the middle position, just like the previous comparison mirror. The soul reward is given to the original rank, but the dropped spirit core is affected by resentment or spiritual power. The spirit core dropped is of the same rank as the BOSS.

"If I kill the original Hanako who is in a higher position, will the spirit core of the higher position be dropped?"

But when I think of the last scene, where Hanako Koizumi was holding the handkerchief tightly... Makoto Mizutani finally strangled his rabbit head with his own hands. This handkerchief must be returned to Hanako Koizumi, even if it is just to make her not so lonely, he has to give her Kaneda Hayabusa's obsession.

The second prop is more interesting.

【Red Crayon】

[Comment: A crimson crayon, slightly worn and stained with bright red blood. Look, the girl is lost in the path ahead, but only love and courage guide her to the right path.]

【Evaluation: I have become a good person. 】

Red crayon, also known as red crayon.

Among Japanese urban legends, the red crayon is considered to be an early horror urban legend.

A couple bought a second-hand house. Just like what was set in many horror movies, the house was well ventilated, had plenty of sunlight, and convenient transportation, but the price was very cheap. The couple was very happy and felt that they had found a bargain, so they moved into the house soon.

Not long after they moved in, the husband found a red crayon in the hallway. The couple, who had no children, thought it might have been left by the previous tenant and threw it in the trash.

But from then on, the red crayon would appear in the hallway every few days, no matter how many times the husband threw it away. At this point, the couple felt strange and finally began to investigate the house.

Finally, the couple found traces of cement on a wall in the corridor, so they asked workers to break down the wall. Inside was a small empty room with a foul smell. When they shone a flashlight, they found the rotting body of a boy lying inside.

On the wall, written densely in red crayon:

Mom, I'm sorry, let me out. Mom, I'm sorry, let me out...

At this point, the story has evolved into two different endings.

Some of them just come to an abrupt end without any follow-up explanation.

Another version of the ending is that the husband died in the excavated room the next day, holding a red crayon in his hand. The densely packed "Mom, I'm sorry, let me out" in the room turned into red bloody handprints.

“This is also a strange story.”

"Kaidan drops a kawaiidan?"

"And it's a strange story after the alienation..."

In the original legend, the red crayon was a horror urban legend, but the [Red Crayon] dropped by Hanako Koizumi seemed to be a prop full of positive energy, and even used the words "love and courage" in the description... It was so decent that it couldn't be more decent.

A prop from a strange story? Is this a strange story or a prop?

I don't understand.

But that didn't stop Mizutani Makoto from putting away this "reformed" red crayon, hoping it could be of some use.

After counting the spoils, Mizutani Makoto directly called out Satori Yoshiko, took out the [Kurosawa Yoshihito's candlestick], and started a carpet search.

He is also very experienced when it comes to digging into the hidden treasuries of ghost stories.

Yoshiko Satori was responsible for collecting the "weak souls" scattered in the women's restroom and handed them all over to Makoto Mizutani.

Under the illumination of the candlelight, footprints emitting faint fluorescence appeared on the ground.

They extended quietly, and the place where the row of footprints pointed to was, as expected, the wall of the third cubicle in the toilet.

Mizutani Makoto walked slowly to the wall and tapped the tiled wall lightly with his hand.

"Boom..."

The echo was hollow and profound.

"There's something in there."

He frowned.

This wall seemed to be reinforced with cement... Mizutani Makoto seemed to realize something, stepped back with a serious expression, and then set up Chidori Maru.

Thunder walks on the blade.

Cut it out with one knife!

Lightning tore through the air, and Chidorimaru's sharp edge cut into the wall mercilessly!

For Chidorimaru, who can cut through iron, as long as Mizutani Makoto exerts enough strength, it would be easy for him to pierce through the hollow wall.

Tiles were broken and dust was flying.

As the rubble fell, a smell of decay and blood suddenly spread.

What came into view was a dismembered body.

No, to be precise, it's wreckage.

The girl in the purple hakama skirt was buried in the wall, but it was clear that she had been brutally dismembered, practically chopped to pieces. Mizutani Makoto had previously witnessed the trial of cult remnants, where the crows pecked at them in much the same way. It would be hard to find a more brutal and disturbing scene.

Have a student ID card.

On the student's face was the introverted and restrained smile of Hanako Koizumi.

There is no doubt that Hanako Koizumi was dismembered and buried in the third cubicle of the toilet. Relying on her resentment, she was forcibly combined with the "Hanako-chan of the Toilet" in later generations, and then reappeared in the crack in the form of a ghost story.

The souls of the victims accumulated a total of nine [Ordinary Souls] for her, which means 4500 points of soul income, not counting the income from other [Weak Souls].

But Mizutani Makoto was not in a hurry to crush the soul.

A crucial prop is also buried at this location.
