Summoning Strange Objects from Anime to Reality

Page 164

Just as everyone was about to take action, crisp footsteps came from Hisafu Eiko.

—It was the sound of high heels.

“…Um, Ms. Hisafu Hideko, would you like to take off your shoes first? Otherwise, it will be difficult to escape.”

After thinking for a moment, Kajiura Sōto still spoke up to offer advice, but unexpectedly, the timid Hisatomi Hideko, contrary to her usual behavior, hesitated and said:

"Huh? These are designer high heels that I bought with several months' salary!"

Damn stupid woman! Is your life more important or your money?!

"Miss Hisafu, you'd better take off your shoes. If you attract the kidnappers, you definitely won't be able to run fast in high heels."

At this moment, Yoshikage Kira spoke calmly. His words seemed to move Mitsuko Hisafu. She hesitated for a moment before slowly taking off her shoes and holding them in her hand, and slowly following Hayato Kajiura.

.......

About five minutes later, Yoshikage Kira and Sugiida found the exit and beckoned the two of them over.

"There's a door here, and the rest is all walls, not even a hole. This door is locked. But I just shone my phone on it, and a lot of the door is rusty. Even if it could be opened, it would definitely make a sound. What do you think?"

"How about... we look around for other exits, and while we're at it, we look for the key."

Sugiida scratched his head and made a suggestion.

"That's all we can do. Let's keep looking."

Ten more minutes passed.

Upon returning to the main gate, everyone expressed their helplessness, saying that there was nothing but walls, let alone a key.

"Damn it, are we trapped here?"

Kajiura Soto irritably swung his fists a few times in the air to vent his frustration, while Hisafu Eiko put on her high heels and silently rubbed her feet.

"Hey, wait a minute, look here!"

When Yoshikage Kira used his phone to light his way, he seemed to have discovered something and called the others over to take a look.

"What's wrong? There are words here?"

"Hey, really?"

As the crowd approached the gate, using several cell phone flashlights, the words finally became legible, and it read—

"He who enters this door must abandon all hope... I remember this is a line from Dante's Divine Comedy—Wow, how did this door open by itself?"

After Sugiida read the words aloud, the door creaked open automatically.

"I don't know, could it be a voice-activated switch? But this door is so old, why would it still have a voice-activated switch?"

"...No matter what, such a commotion will definitely attract the kidnappers, let's run!"

Kajiura Sōto shouted something and immediately ran forward, while Hisafu Eiko, frantically taking off her shoes, kept shouting:

"Wait, wait for me! Don't leave me behind!"

What an idiot! You can stay here!

Kajiura Satsuto seemed not to hear him and ran straight ahead, with Kira Yoshikage following him without stopping.

Sugiida, however, stopped and pulled Hisafu Hideko forward.

"Wait, my shoes—"

"Why are you still looking for your shoes at a time like this? They're not going anywhere. They'll still be yours when the police come."

"Oh......"

After running for a while, Kajiura Satsuto and Kira Yoshikage arrived at a room.

Just like before, there were no windows or forks in the road on the walls.

"Where am I—ah! Why is there so much blood?!"

Kajiura Sōto shone his phone into the room and was immediately startled.

Numerous bloodstains stained the walls, the pungent smell of blood and the somewhat blackish red marks telling people that these were traces of blood.

"Calm down, Mr. Kajiura Soto. This might be animal blood..."

"Um...yes, it's animal blood...sorry for losing my composure—"

"Aaaaaah—it's blood!"

Kajiura Soto wiped the sweat from his forehead, and just as he was about to say something, another familiar scream rang in his ears.

"Shut up, you stupid woman!"

Kajiura Soto could no longer tolerate this idiot. The long, stifling space and silent darkness were oppressing his nerves, causing his emotions to explode, and he roared at Hisafu Eiko.

"you you--"

"I'll shut you up!"

"Yes, yes."

Startled by Kajiura Souto's gloomy face, Hisafu Eiko tremblingly agreed, while Sugiida, unable to bear it any longer, tried to step forward but was stopped by Kira Yoshikage.

“Wait a minute, Miss Hisafu is really overreacting. Although anyone's emotions would be suppressed in a place like this, she's scaring people too much. Let's investigate this place first... I have a feeling something's not right. The noise is so loud, yet no one has come over. Is there really no one here?”

"I don't know... Could we be involved in something supernatural?"

"Who knows? Let's search for it first."

After some investigation, Yoshikage Kira found a blood-stained notebook, Sugiida found traces of human handprints on the bloodstains on the wall, Hayato Kajiura found a candle, and Mitsuko Hisafu found nothing.

"Wanna see?"

"I guess we can only watch it."

"Okay, then I'll read it aloud."

"Month x, Day x (all trivial matters, omitted)"

"On [date], I was kidnapped."

"It's ridiculous that an ordinary office worker like me, who has no money, would be kidnapped. They must have mistaken me for someone else."

(Stained with blood, illegible)

"This place is terrifying! My God, I don't even know what I'm writing! This is definitely not a kidnapping, absolutely not! Because, two people have already committed adultery in the dark!"

"A vengeful spirit is watching us from this darkness!"

"...candle, candle! Only a candle can be stained with blood."

......

"Hey...you're kidding, right...? Vengeful spirits? How could they possibly exist in this world? Hah, hah."

Sugiida swallowed hard, trying to speak in a joking tone, but his voice betrayed his fear.

“We can assume that we were all kidnapped by a serial killer, or brought here to be played by some big shot, and there’s someone watching us in the dark. As for the candles… they’re probably the key or a life-saving tool, just like in a game. Mr. Kajiura, do you have a lighter?”

"some."

"Nama, please, if things get bad, just light the candles... But, where's the exit?"

"Boom-"

As soon as Yoshikage Kira finished speaking, a dull thud came from the blood-stained wall, and a door panel fell down, revealing a dark passage.

"...Sure enough, someone is definitely manipulating things here; they've been watching us the whole time!"

"...Anyway, let's go in and take a look."

"......"

A strong stench of blood wafted from the dark passage. Combined with the previously discovered handprint and notebook contents, this was probably where the serial killer disposed of the bodies.

"Let's ventilate this place for a while before going down. Miss Hisafu, please prepare yourself, the scene down below... might be a little scary."

"Okay, okay."

In the ensuing silence, the group waited for ten minutes before daring to descend and enter the passage, which resembled the gaping maw of an abyss.

Amidst the carnage, intertwined bones, human skin paintings, and rotting internal organs, the crowd grew numb as they continued to vomit.

At the end of the passage is a door with three small holes, each the same size as a candle.

In other words, there are two other keys here.

Despite their disgust, the group began searching. Among them, Yoshikage Kira found another candle on a skull, while the other candle was inside a clump of rotting, maggot-infested intestines. It was Sugiida who managed to retrieve it by wrapping his hands in his clothes. It was truly disgusting.

As I opened the door and walked forward, something seemed to be stirring restlessly in the darkness behind me.

Chapter 233 Break the Seal, Lord of Darkness!

(I originally wanted to continue writing about this incident, but after thinking about it, I realized that the style of this kind of horror story doesn't match my own style, so I'll just skip most of the plot.)

--------

Kajiura Soto, panting heavily, ran frantically outwards, glancing back every now and then at the fear on his face, as if some terrifying monster was chasing him.

Kira... was captured by that monster, and he's probably dead by now...

Along the way, they had gathered many clues about the exit, and of course, like in previous horror games, the answers required solving puzzles.

Fortunately, thanks to Yoshikage Kira's unparalleled wisdom, all the mysteries were solved and the clues were obtained.

If it weren't for him, we probably wouldn't have been able to solve those mysteries by now...

pity........

Just as they obtained their last clue, a monster lurked in the darkness and ambushed them.

Before anyone could react, it snatched Yoshikage Kira away. At the time, to facilitate the investigation, he wasn't carrying any candles...

After experimenting, they discovered that lighting candles could ward off the monster.

As long as the candles don't go out, the monster won't attack them.

And now, the exit is right ahead!

Kajiura Soto looked at the door in front of him, a happy smile on his face, and then slowed down to light the candle.

Now, it's all over!

The door was pushed open.

He strode inside, and then discovered that here—

It's a room with no exit!

This is a dead end!

"No, impossible! How could this be a dead end! That's what the clues said!"

"What?! How could this be a dead end?!"

Hisafu Eiko and Sugiida also caught up with candles, then looked at the scene with despair.

"It's very simple, because from the very beginning, there was no such thing as an exit!"

A familiar voice came from the darkness behind them. Everyone turned around in disbelief and was astonished to find Yoshikage Kira walking step by step out of the darkness.

"Mr. Kira, you're not dead? What did you mean by what you just said?!"

"Didn't I just say it? Why do you insist I repeat myself? From the very beginning, there was no exit! Those so-called clues and candles were all a hoax!"

Kira Yoshikage gave them a wicked smile and said.

"Could it be—Masaka, that all of this was part of your plan?"

Recalling a shocking fact, Kajiura Soto pointed a trembling finger at Kira Yoshikage and fearfully voiced his conjecture.

"What! Really...?"

"this--"

"That's right, it was all part of my plan. By the way, there are monsters in the darkness, and your candles are useless."

As the words fell, the darkness behind Yoshikage Kira began to writhe again, crawling towards them.
