I loaded the ghost talk game

Chiharu Noma had a dream.

The beginning of the dream——

Noma sat in a cubicle in the office building of the company where he worked, typing on the keyboard as usual.

The tedious mechanical work went on for a long time.

Then, at a certain moment, she suddenly heard an exclamation.

"Fire! Fire!"

Someone shouted like this.

Choking smoke filled the air from somewhere in the office building, screams were drowned out, and colleagues ran out in panic.

Chiharu Noma was pushed and shoved into the corridor by the crowd, and she could see black smoke billowing and flames flickering in the bottom of the stairwell.

In the corridor, many people crowded at the elevator entrance, screaming and crying with distorted faces.

In this situation, it is obviously unwise to take the elevator to escape.

Just when Noma Chiharu didn't know what to do and felt desperate, she noticed a man in the crowd——

That man was different from those around him who were anxious to survive.

He just stood there quietly, looking at Chiharu Noma. Many people crowded beside him, rubbing shoulders one after another, but the men didn't care, just remained motionless, staring at Chiharu Noma.

The man was wearing a black suit, white shirt, and a striking red tie.

He has thick eyebrows, a high hairline, and a wide, closed mouth.

Strange facial features.

It looks a little unnatural, and I can't tell where the problem is.

Noma Chiharu and the strange man looked at each other for a few seconds, and the man suddenly pushed away from the crowd and stepped forward.

"Come with me," he said.

The man's voice sounded ordinary, with no emotional ups and downs, but it had a peculiar persuasive power.

Noma Chiharu was held by his hand, and he followed them through the anxious and noisy crowd.

The two started running in the corridor and ran straight to the stairwell.

The smoke billowed here, and the heat wave was pressing.

The fire below is spreading upwards.

The man pulled Noma Chiharu indifferently and ran upstairs.

It is not a wise choice to escape upwards when a high-rise building is on fire.

After a fire, the smoke rises extremely fast, which may cause people to be stunned or even die by the smoke.

But Chiharu Noma in the dream didn't consider this point, she just followed the man and ran as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

The stairwell was very hot, the smell of smoke was choking, and there were screams from all the floors he passed.

Chiharu Noma ran out of breath, and when she came back to her senses, she had followed the strange man to the roof of the office building.

The wind on the roof was very strong, and the fire in the office building did not reach here for the time being.

I don't know if I can wait for rescue here.

"Thank you."

Noma Chiharu thanked the strange man.

The other party did not respond to her.

He just grinned his big mouth with strange proportions, then continued to hold Noma's hand and walked towards the edge of the roof.

"Well, you hurt me."

Chiharu Noma didn't know what the man was going to do, and tried to break away from the man's hand.

But the strength of that strange man was enormous.

The five fingers were firmly embedded in Noma Chiharu's wrist, like steel pliers, and dragged her to the edge of the roof regardless.

"Stop! Let me go!"

Chiharu Noma, who had just recovered from the fear caused by the fire, felt scared again and continued to resist, but it was of no use.

The man dragged her to the edge of the roof, picked her up by the waist, and pushed her onto the guardrail.

"No! Please, don't."

The man showed no mercy to Chiharu Noma's pleading, and raised his hand to push her off the edge of the guardrail.

The sound of the wind whistled in my ears, and a strong sense of weightlessness enveloped my whole body.

Generally speaking, when a person dreams of falling from a high altitude, his hands and feet will twitch due to tension in reality, which will cause myocital spasm and wake up with a start.

This is a self-protection mechanism of the human body.

But Noma Chiharu didn't wake up immediately, but her consciousness seemed to become sober the moment she fell to the roof.

She realized that she was dreaming.

And she suddenly remembered that it was not the first time she had this weird dream.

How many times is it?

the sixth time?

Seventh time?

I can't remember clearly, it seems that I have dreamed about it for many days.

I just remember that in the dream, she followed the man in a suit with thick eyebrows to the rooftop over and over again.

Time and time again, he was pushed down maliciously by the opponent.

The first time she had this dream, she woke up the moment she fell off the roof.

And the second time, he fell for a while before waking up...

For the fourth time, she fell from a high altitude to the office floor where she was.

Through the transparent glass, I saw the raging fire in the corridor, and saw the scorched black figure who was burning and screaming and running...

Then he woke up drenched in sweat.

"It's just a dream. But this time, where do I fall to wake up?"

Noma Chiharu inexplicably had such thoughts in his heart.

Falling, falling, falling...

Noma looked up.

He found that the man with thick eyebrows was lying on the edge of the roof, staring at him and smiling at him.

Obviously, the distance between the two has been widened due to Noma Chiharu's fall, but the details of the man's expression can be clearly seen.

He was grinning, his smile was very stiff, very weird, very unnatural...

In the blink of an eye, Noma Chiharu had already fallen past the office floor where she was, and was falling deeper.

Below is the road outside the office building, and the pattern of bricks and stones on the sidewalk is becoming more and more distinct.

"Would it be possible to wake up after falling to the ground this time?" Noma Chiharu thought, "In reality, if you fall and fall to the ground like this, you must die completely, right? But, this is just a dream, this is just a dream, I will wake up came."

But then again.

Every time I have this dream, the distance I fall will be farther than the last time.

If it does fall to the ground, what does it mean?

Will I never have this dream again?

Or... can't wake up again?

The thought was a little scary.

Jingle bells—jingle bells—

And just when Noma Chiharu was about to fall to the ground, beside her, suddenly there was a faint red light flashing, accompanied by the sound of a crisp bell ringing.

"Puff, puff!"

Noma also heard the cry of some unknown little animal, which rang in his ears.

at the same time.

On the roof of the rooftop, the man with thick eyebrows who was still lying on his stomach, smiling, and staring down, was shrouded in crimson light and torn to pieces...

...

real world.

On the roof of a residential building in Chiyoda District, Tokyo, the sound of the wind screamed at midnight.

Chiharu Noma, who was wearing a nightgown, was barefoot, with her eyes closed tightly, looking like she was sleepwalking, and climbed onto the concrete fence on the roof of the building by herself.

The wind from above ruffled her nightgown.

Just as she opened her hands to jump down.

A hemp rope was thrown out from behind, and the "Kalakala" stretched straight, as if alive, wrapped around her waist and pulled her back.

Toshima Oishi and Mai Takayama, the ghost lovers in the hearse group, appeared at the same time and caught Chiharu Noma.

Huang Mao Dashi turned his head 90 degrees: "It's okay, it's okay, we're in time, boss!"

"Um."

Kamiyagawa, who was pulling the reins of the "Hanged Dead", walked over quickly, staring at Miss Noma up and down with her pupils fixed.

He really felt the breath of strange talk in the other party.

But it's not too strong, so it's probably not too strong a strange talk.

And now, that strange smell of strange talk has dissipated.

As for Miss Noma who was rescued, she didn't wake up immediately.

Her body was shrouded in a blurred red light, and under the effect of the nightmare-eating tapir's ability, she still slept soundly.

"How's it going, little tapir?"

Kamiyagawa withdrew the [Reins of the Hanged Dead] from Chiharu Noma.

"Puff!"

The tapir twitched its nose, appeared from Chiharu Noma, waved its paws, and ran to Kamiya's side as if asking for credit.

I have already eaten the ghost story that hurt people in the dream.

The taste is very good, delicious, poof!

Buzz——

Mobile phone vibration.

[Mengnan is dead, and he has obtained 56 soul crystals! ]

"Dream man?"

It seems to be a strange story that has never been heard.

However, judging from the number of soul crystals obtained, it should be a ghost story with an F rating.

"Good job, just get rid of it." Kamiyagawa tapped his phone, then bent down and patted Tapir's head.

Tonight, I just wanted to take the little tapir out for a walk, and find some nightmares for it to satisfy its hunger.

I didn't expect to meet someone who was harmed by the ghost talk in the dream by chance.

Roughly judging, the dream boy who entangles this lady is probably a strange story similar to Yuanmeng.

But now it has been eaten by tapirs.

The nightmare-eating tapir was originally the nemesis and natural enemy of ghost stories in dreams, and now it has just reached C-level, so it should not be too easy to deal with an F-level ghost story.

"Take the lady back to her home."

Kamiyagawa didn't plan to stay on the roof of this community for too long.

"Puff!"

The nightmare-eating tapir, who had just had a delicious meal, happily swung his nose and led the way.

I know where that human female started having nightmares, poof!

On the other side of the hearse group, Mikami Satoru, one of the Mikami brothers, carried Noma Chiharu who had just been rescued on his back.

In other words, after the hearse group under Kamiya was promoted to E-level, the ghost Mazda and the dominant "two and a half brains" did not change significantly, but the pair of strong twin brothers, Mikami Satoru and Mikami Hao.

The two brothers have never had a sense of presence under Kamiyagawa.

Can't speak, expressionless, extremely dull, seems to have no self-consciousness at all, and has always acted as a tool man under the command of Oishi and Takayama.

But after the Hearse Group was promoted, the expressions of the two brothers became more vivid. At least when they faced Shengu, there was an obvious sense of deference and respect between their brows and eyes.

Maybe it's starting to grow in the brain...

In the hearse group, Huang Mao Dashi Junma was the happiest to see this change of the Sankami brothers.

He has a feeling that maybe his two best friends, with the training and help of the boss, will have the opportunity to get rid of the muddle-headed state of "living dead" and realize the real death and resurrection.

It's great to be able to follow the boss!

...

"Well……"

Chiharu Noma, covered in sweat, woke up from the bed in her bachelor apartment.

She looked at the alarm clock beside the bed, it was now one o'clock in the morning.

"Just a dream."

Chiharu Noma still remembered some of the content of the falling dream just now, she felt a little palpitations, and her mouth was dry.

She got up, went to the kitchen to drink some water, and then went back to bed and fell asleep again.

In the past few days, Noma Chiharu has been troubled by strange dreams, strange men appearing in the dreams.

Sleep quality was poor.

But this time when she fell asleep in the second half of the night, she slept soundly and deeply.

No problem anymore.

A night without dreams.

...

Also this evening.

It was located somewhere, in a study room with a light on.

A lady with round glasses, full of intellectual and literary temperament, is sitting at the desk, facing the light of the desk lamp, writing hard.

She is writing a story in her notebook, and at the header of this page, she can see the subtitle of the story——

"Dreams in a Dollhouse"

She wrote:

[…The boy sensed something was wrong, and asked the familiar but unfamiliar figure in the toy house, "Mom, is that you?\
