It is strictly forbidden to pay for the ticket after getting on the bus

Bai Jue opened his eyes, and the first thing he felt was that the air had become a lot more humid, and there was a faint water vapor lingering in his nostrils, slowly permeating like light smoke, entangled in the surroundings.

He turned over quickly, Bai Luochuan was also woken up by the screams, and the first thing he said when he woke up was: "Damn it, will you really not get rheumatism after sleeping in this kind of room for a long time?"

"...It should be related to this cry, something happened."

Si Qi and Lin Jiu also opened the inner lattice door, wrapped their clothes and came out: "Would you like to take a look? It seems to be next door."

It stands to reason that they shouldn't go out in such a situation, but apart from the scream at the beginning, that voice kept shouting "Help", the silent night was suddenly broken, and all attention was focused on the desperate struggle middle.

"Go, go and have a look, even if you can't save someone, you have to find out what happened." Bai Jue said.

They turned on the light, opened the door, and saw that there were faint lights shining through the paper grids of the lattice doors of this row of rooms. Everyone was awake, and there were some rooms that had just opened the doors. When the passengers on the train saw Bai Jue and the others coming out, they became more courageous and walked out of the room one after another.

Bai Jue had noticed it when he first arrived. There is no way to lock these rooms, and they can be opened as soon as they are pulled. For a place like Platform World, the danger is extremely high.

He didn't waste any time, and directly opened the lattice door next to them, and the cry for help had died away two seconds ago.

This room has a similar layout to theirs, except that there is no back room, and when you open the door, you can see the opened backyard on the opposite side. The yard is also similar to Bai Jue's backyard, except that there is a steaming hot spring pool added.

Kneeling in front of the pool was a wet figure with disheveled hair and a wooden stick in his hand.

The moment Bai Jue opened the door, everyone felt that the water vapor was getting worse. They could even see the white mist of water vapor with their naked eyes. The figure with disheveled hair looked over from the white mist, which always reminded people of classic Japanese movies. Some really bad scenes in it.

Bai Jue frowned, stood still and didn't go over.

"She came to this hotel with us, she seems to be called Yao Zhu," a boy who came out after him whispered, "I remember she has a companion, and the two of them live in this room together."

The figure seemed to be awakened instantly by the voice, trembling all over, froze for a second, then crazily crawled away from the hot spring pool, and yelled crazily as it retreated: "Ah! Ah! Ah..."

"Yao Zhu? Yao Zhu! What's wrong with you?" The boy who knew her stepped forward to call her, but he didn't dare to get too close to her, with a worried expression on his face.

Yao Zhu turned his head in horror, probably recognized him, and also saw the people behind him, his nerves relaxed, and tears burst out instantly: "Ding Dong... just now was really scary... …”

"What's going on? Where's your friend?" Ding Dong looked around, but didn't see any blood or corpses, and tried to help her up, "Why are you so wet?"

Yao Zhu's expression was in a trance for a moment, and then with a sad face, he glanced at the hot spring pool in the backyard, with deep fear in his eyes.

Ding Dong froze for a moment, then followed her gaze: "What do you mean? Your friend is in the hot spring?"

Hearing this, Bai Luochuan raised his eyebrows, looked at the foggy backyard, and was about to walk there.

"Don't go there!" Yao Zhu said urgently.

Bai Luochuan glanced at her, and hooked the corners of his mouth: "What are you afraid of? Aren't you still alive?"

He and Bai Jue walked carefully to the hot spring in the backyard. The pool was not big, and it was bubbling. A naked corpse with its back facing upwards floated on the surface of the whitish pool, with its long black hair spread out, in the pool water. Rippled, like some kind of rich black algae.

This is the place with the most abundant water vapor, and with a wave of your hand in the air, you can see the white smoke drifting along with the airflow.

"This is your friend? She's already dead, did she drown?" Bai Luochuan asked.

Yao Zhu was stunned, as if she didn't expect Bai Luochuan to say that, she ran over in a panic, her clothes were still dripping, she recognized the corpse with its back facing up at a glance: "Yes... yes Lin Ya, didn't she disappear? Wasn't she dragged down? Why did she reappear...What about that thing, where did that ghost go..."

Bai Luochuan listened impatiently to her ramblings, and grasped the point: "The one who dragged her down? Who dragged her down?"

With wet tears still hanging on Yao Zhu's face, he choked up and said, "We were planning to rest after we entered the room, but Lin Ya was not used to sleeping on this kind of tatami, and couldn't sleep all the time, so I wanted to take a dip in the hot spring, but After soaking for 10 minutes, more and more steam came out of the hot spring, even I felt it in the room, the smoke was lingering, I felt something was wrong, so I told Lin Ya to come up quickly..."

"And then?" Bai Jue stared at the surface of the hot spring water, feeling that the bubbling bubbles seemed to be bigger.

"Then Lin Ya didn't dare to stay any longer! Just as she stood up and wanted to come up, I saw...a very slender and white hand suddenly stretched out from the water, dragging Lin Ya His body pulled her into the water!"

Yao Zhu thought of that creepy thing, and a trace of fear flashed across his face.

"Did you see what that is?" Bai Luochuan asked.

"I saw it... I went to pull her, and I wanted to beat that hand down with a stick, but I didn't succeed, so I saw the thing's head..."

"Back!" Bai Jue suddenly growled at this moment, pulling Bai Luochuan back a few steps quickly.

In the hot spring pool, the place where the bubbles were bubbling suddenly calmed down, and a white face appeared at the intersection of the water surface and the air. He and his limbs were soft and boneless, floating at the bottom of the water, their skin and skin were as dead white as soaked pork skin, and they emerged from the water to stare at them faintly.

"Ah! That's it!" Yao Zhu gasped, and his whole body instantly became alert.

"Is it a Japanese water ghost? A Kappa?"

However, it seemed that the thing had no intention of leaving the water to attack them. It just wandered around Lin Ya's body, and then its slender limbs clung to Lin Ya's body, dragged her down slowly, and disappeared.

The fog in the yard gradually dissipated, and the hot spring returned to its previous appearance, as if nothing had happened.

"That white flesh looks really disgusting, it stinks like water." Bai Luochuan pinched his nose in disgust, no longer caring about this side, and dragged Bai Jue back to the room.

Early the next morning, they ate a bowl of authentic tonkotsu ramen in the front hall. Instead of seeing Fujiko from last night, they saw a fat man wearing a blue improved simple kimono with a tie around his waist. Wearing an apron, after serving them noodles, they went to warm the wine in the back.

After breakfast, the streets outside began to be noisy. Bai Jue and the others had strange expressions on their faces. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with this situation, but there was something strange about it. This scene was so everyday.

Except for some women in traditional Japanese kimonos and clogs, the rest of the people seem to be from the modern Japanese city. Their clothes and makeup are very modern and ordinary. After walking for a while, Bai Jue suddenly Inexplicably, there is an illusion that he has returned to the present world.

He and Bai Luochuan looked at each other, and said hesitantly, "Do you think the surprise mentioned on the train...would it be a chance for us to return to the real world?"

"I'm not sure..." Bai Luochuan didn't dare to speak too much, sometimes the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

They walked up the slope, blending into the crowd without being conspicuous, but Bai Jue gradually felt that something was spying on them from the dark all the time, like a thorn on his back.
