Ninth Ghost Story - Nooknori (5)
After a while.
Nook play begins once again.
widely.
The club room turned completely dark when the lights turned off and the door closed..
Tick, tick.
In the silence with only the sound of the clock ticking, the first batter soon begins to move slowly..
Beep- Beep- Beep- Beep- Beep- Beep-
Tuk.
Someone starting from home reaches the corner and touches the next turn.
Then someone takes up the baton again and moves on..
Beep- Beep- Beep- Beep- Beep_ Beep-
Tuk.
When someone in the third order gets touched, he stands up and moves to third base..
Beep- Beep- Beep- Beep- Beep- Beep -
Tuk. Finally, I touch someone who is the last person in line..
The final sequence slowly returns home..
Beep- Beep- Beep- Beep- Beep- Beep_
Eventually we arrived at the corner where the play first began..
That corner is now empty because the first turn has already been moved..
There, the last runner slowly enters the groove and hits the empty wall..
widely.
play has stopped.
There is silence for a moment.
The participants' throats are cut off in the dark without a sound..
Tuk. Tuk.
Meanwhile, the last person in line doesn't panic and just waits in place..
Tuk.
Eventually, everyone but one person at home is out..
The last survivor still waiting quietly in the dark.
Soon the girl's voice sounded dark.
It resonates inside.
“A female ghost with her head cut off is floating in the air, smiling. The ghost of a woman with her head cut off is smiling and floating in the air..”
The voice of a child chattering happily.
Despite those scary words, the person in the last line doesn't get nervous and just stays in place..
“The ghost of a woman with her head cut off laughs and chases me through the air..”
Soon, in the darkness, the sound of a head being cut is heard..
“They said his head was cut off..”
flutter-
After a while.
Someone is screaming and running around the club room..
Jumping around in space like crazy, bumping into each other..
A female ghost with only one head floating in the air.
Lastly, he cut off someone's head and took over the body..
Using its vocal cords, the ghost finally makes its voice heard..
[Hello, friends. What awaits you today? When I'm with my hula dancing duck, everything is fun.!]
Self-introduction that resonates with mechanical sounds.
At that sound, we who had been hiding under the desk finally stood up..
“It really works.”
Next to Jinhee, who was muttering while holding a baseball bat in her hand, I also nodded while fiddling with the remote control..
“The important thing is that even if you catch the ghost, everyone has to survive to clear it..”
6As we prepared for teaching and necromancy, we checked the plan again..
“It's troublesome once the checkpoint is set to a strange point. okay?”
I tapped the whiteboard emphasizing that point..
Members nodding their heads.
“If you go back and fight a few times, you might be able to catch the ghost somehow. but!”
He punches the whiteboard again for emphasis..
“If even one person dies and clears the game, it means nothing. As soon as the game starts, everyone will die without even making a sound, so you need to plan thoroughly..”
“Okay, stop talking about that, manager..”
Gyeongwon raised his glasses and got irritated..
I cleared my throat and continued speaking..
“Anyway, I have to come up with a way to do that. It's okay to play around in a corner and summon a ghost using necromancy. Confirmed. However, if all the casters die,……
“Why shouldn’t someone do it for me??”
Suna hesitated and expressed her opinion..
“If someone takes care of it for us……
Someone dies by having their head cut off.
As expected, Suna had a unique mind..
“Who will do this dangerous thing for you?.”
Seon-ah looks depressed as Deok-hoon crosses his arms and snorts..
But I get some inspiration from Suna’s words..
‘instead… It's a substitute.’
I shared the thoughts that came to my mind with the members..
“You shouldn't have a doll or robot do it for you.?”
“ doll?”
Members tilting their heads.
“There are toys and dolls that can be controlled with a remote control and walk on two legs. Buy four of those, put them in the corner and move them for us.……
I try to explain with all the gestures of my hands and feet..
Some of the members burst out laughing, perhaps because it was a funny idea..
“A doll instead... It's funny……
“But they say you can’t have electronics? Isn’t that why you took away all your cell phones earlier?.”
“That's not necessarily true.”
When Jinhee objected, Gyeongwon quietly answered for her with his arms crossed..
“Of course, it is true that the rule for summoning ghosts, commonly called necromancy, is not to have any electronic devices, including cell phones, nearby..”
“There's a reason?”
“···Well, there are many reasons, but the biggest one is not creating an atmosphere of fear..”
“Creating an atmosphere is important in necromancy.?”
“of course.”
I asked a question to the guy who nodded resolutely..
“But why are dolls and toys an exception? If you're walking on two feet, you're running it on batteries, so isn't it considered an electronic device??”
“That's a bit ambiguous... I thought of a ghost story that allowed that..”
“What kind of ghost story is this??”
“Has anyone ever heard of ‘breathing alone’??”
“Breathing alone?”
I raised my hand among the members who were tilting their heads..
“I think I read it. Aren't you playing hide and seek alone??”
“That's right, manager. I guess you studied a bit these days..”
“little.”
“To be exact, I'm the one playing hide and seek alone. Breathing alone. This is also a type of necromancy, and if you are curious about the contents, you can search it on the Internet or ask me next time, but since a solution is urgent, let's get straight to the conclusion..”
The guy whose glasses shine.
“Dolls are an exception. Since dolls are often used in necromancy and various curse rituals, my opinion is that even if some electronic equipment is included, it is unlikely to have a significant effect on summoning ghosts..”
“···really?”
“A ghost story we encountered just before. The science teacher tried to kill the manager using a curse. Even in those curse-type ghost stories, dolls appear from time to time. I think dolls are probably an exception..”
After listening to him and thinking about it carefully, it is definitely true..
When you think of a curse, the image that often comes to mind is.
When I thought about it carefully, the picture of nails being hammered into straw was actually straw..
“That's right. Now that I think about it, there seem to be a lot of other ghost stories involving dolls..”
“yes?”
Everyone nods with an expression of understanding..
“But where can I buy something like a doll in this yard?……
“You can use the store.”
I quickly opened the store window and entered the ‘Baby/Toys’ category..
“Let's see. moving doll, moving doll……
［Reliable and safe children's toy made by Clover Corporation - Hula Dance Duck, a working animal doll that is good at hula dancing - 2 points
“Wow, that’s cheap..”
2Points and remote control included.
It was a valuable product that could be used to move around or even dance using a remote control..
‘···clover. There's nothing these guys don't make..’
“good. purchase!”
8As soon as I used my points to order four, I immediately heard the sound of something falling in the hallway..
“Let’s go and pick it up quickly..”
Beep- Beep- Beep- Beep- Beep- Beep-
[The end of the human era has arrived~]
“good. It's working well.”
Before my eyes, duck-shaped dolls about the size of my knees were frantically moving around the club room, each making chirping sounds..
“cute.”
Seon-ah smiles and eats a duck.
When I pet Lee, he runs away..
[A rolling golem doesn't rust.~]
“good. I saved the doll.”
Members gathered together again.
“Is there anything else I need??”
“First, I think we need to decide who will stay..”
“who?”
“Even if the doll takes the turn, there has to be someone who stays to catch the ghost..”
“hmm……
Who should stay?.
First of all, since it was a very dangerous site, I thought it would be better to go with a small number of elites..
“First of all, as the manager, I definitely plan to participate, and I don't think there's any need to rush, just one more person can come.……
I quietly looked at Jinhee..
“what.”
The three ghosts you will face from now on..
A ghost that imitates the sound of a clock ticking, a little female ghost that relays the situation, and the most dangerous head-only ghost..
There is only so much fragmentary information that no countermeasures have been taken..
I'm planning on hitting it right now..
Then, isn't Jinhee the one who can do it best?.
“But even if the dolls are set up in each corner, where will the people wait??”
Kyungwon answered my question right away as if it was easy..
“from the middle.”
“Won't it affect consciousness??”
“Even in the ghost story about the first mountaineer to be rescued, the body is placed in the middle. And in Rothstein’s corridor, the word ‘corridor’ means a corridor, and is a space that is not enclosed. I don't think it would have any effect even if one or two people were there..”
“Then I'm glad.”
I looked at Jinhee and nodded..
“Jinhee, can you beat the ghost away??”
“···I'm going?”
Soon Jinhee and I gathered our supplies and crawled under the desk together..
I thought that if it were a ghost with only its head floating in the air, it wouldn't be able to see under the desk..
“Could it be a baseball bat? A chainsaw or a flamethrower……
“I don't know how to write.”
Soon, the members left the club room one by one and gave each of us a word of support under the desk..
“Jun, be careful.……
“Thank you, Seonaya.”
“Fighting both of you.”
“Thank you Deokhoon.”
“do well.”
“Yes, Hayoon..”
“···I don't know what's going on, but it shouldn't be anything special. Okay?”
“yes, teacher.”
As Gyeongwon was the last to leave, he raised his glasses and displayed his last characteristic as an explainer..
“One word of advice is that ghosts usually take the form they had when they died, so even ghosts that look young may actually be ghosts that are decades older. The only thing that seems dangerous right now seems to be the ghost floating around with its head, but don't let your guard down on the kid talking next to you either..”
“Thanks for the advice. Light a light when you leave.”
“okay. Let's see you again in good condition.”
widely.
As Gyeongwon turned off the light for the last time and left, closing the door, the club room became completely dark..
Tick, tick.
“···Let's start.”
“uh.”
In the silence, only the sound of the clock's second hand rang out, and as soon as I operated the remote control, the duck doll, which was the first in order, started waddling..
Beep- Beep_ Beep- Beep- Beep- Beep-
* * *
[Hello, friends. What awaits you today? When I'm with my hula dancing duck, everything is fun.!]
A ghost that takes over the body of a doll that beeps in the dark and introduces itself using mechanical sounds..
In the end, Jinhee burst out laughing..
“What a funny guy. It was an extreme concept challenge..”
“Here, glow stick.”
While looking for something that could be used as a light-emitting tool instead of electronic devices, I picked up a glow stick from a store..
I handed it to Jinhee, who was lying down, and Jinhee took it and bent it with her knee..
widely _
The ampoule inside the glow stick exploded and gave off a bluish light..
“The glow stick exploded. The glow stick exploded.”
A girl ghost broadcasts.
Tick-tick-
Beep_ Beep- Beep_ Beep_ Beep-
Next to it, there is a ticking sound and the sound of a duck doll running around frantically..
“Ah, I'm out of my mind..”
It's pitch dark, but the atmosphere is a little noisy here and there..
Jinhee complains and shines the glow stick around..
“···There are three people in total..”
There are a total of three ghosts in the sealed club room..
The first thing you see is the little girl who has been relaying the situation from earlier..
Is he around elementary school age?.
He looks at us with a fresh expression, wearing a yellow short-sleeved T-shirt with an English word written in the middle..
Aside from the fact that the clothes looked a bit old, it was cute and fortunately it wasn't scary..
“···What clothes are they? It looks strange.”
When I looked closely and asked, Jinhee answered chicly..
“It's a baseball uniform..”
The kid's uniform was originally pure white, but perhaps because he died a long time ago, it has become yellow and worn out..
“Looking at the clothes, as Gyeongwon said, even though he looks young on the outside, he may actually be older. Let's be careful.”
“uh.”
“Could you please look to the left, towards the sound of the clock??”
Jinhee followed my command and extended the glow stick to the left..
There was a boy standing there who looked younger than the little girl from before..
I guess I'm just about to enter kindergarten..
When the light shines on it, it closes its mouth and looks at us with an expressionless expression. Then, it purses its lips slightly and imitates the sound of a clock..
Tick, tick.
“Wow, it’s amazingly similar.” Jinhee said with admiration.
“Jinhee, this time look behind you. decapitated ghost.”
“uh.”
“Don't shine the light too brightly because it's scary. slowly……
“Asshole.”
Soon, when Jinhee shined the light stick back, the back of the head of the female ghost in question was revealed..
Beep- Beep- Beep- Beep- Beep-
A duck doll about the size of a person's knee..
Instead of a duck's face, the face of a woman with scattered hair was placed on top of the doll's neck..
Beep- Beep- Beep- Beep- Beep-
A duck that is blocked by a wall and can't turn, but just walks in place and squeaks..
“hey. Turn it with the remote control. let me see your face.”
Jinhee still calls me words like hey and you.
“for a moment.”
As soon as I held the remote control and operated it, the duck doll began to rotate slowly, and the face of the head ghost that had been turning around so far began to slowly appear..
“Ah, your face is too big……
Scattered hair, puffy face. white eye.
But his mouth is torn all the way to his ears, and he is smiling widely..
[Lively play with moving eyes! The light comes out!]
An LED flashlight lights up from the doll's body, and the ghost's white eyes glow with red light..
［I am a naughty hula dancing duck!］
Every time the head ghost moves its lips, the lines recorded on the doll are played instead, making it even more bizarre..
I used lip reading to read the movements of the ghost's lips, but all I could find was meaningless mutterings about cutting off the head and taking the head..
Soon, a grotesque-looking head-only ghost was walking towards us, moving its flippers awkwardly..
［Waddle, wiggle, wiggle! humorous
Play with your friends!]
Jinhee grins and carries the baseball bat on her shoulder, as if she isn't scared in front of him..
“Stop talking nonsense and just do the hula dance..”
