Chapter 38: Snow Mountain
where is this place?
who I am?
She couldn't recognize the environment she was currently in.
She was standing in a long, narrow and dark corridor with walls on both sides, very narrow, with dark red doors on the walls.
The sound of dripping water dripping came from nowhere and echoed in the corridor.
She took a few steps forward blankly, and her memory suddenly became clear for a moment.
Yes... I'm Asano Chika!
I came to climb the mountain with Takai, Hiroshi Ogawa, Kenichi, Yuki Takada, and Sayuri!
We made an agreement...Tomorrow, at ten o'clock in the morning, we will go to the Hayama Snow Mountain.
Asano Chika patted her head.
Why am I standing in the hallway...we're leaving tomorrow, shouldn't I be resting in bed?
And... Where did the sound of water come from, didn't see any water in the corridor.
Is it the restroom?
Asano Chika groggyly walked towards the end of the corridor, following the direction of the sound of water droplets.
This is Takai's room...
This is Hiroshi Ogawa's room...
Kenichi's room...
Takada's room...
And... Sayuri's room.
Her footsteps echoed in the corridor, the night was already deep, and the surroundings were quiet. Asano Chika watched these rooms, and suddenly felt that they were a little unfamiliar.
Maybe it's because the light is too dim, maybe it's because of the dizzy sleep... Those black room numbers seem to be distorted.
She didn't stop walking, but when she passed another room, Qianxia Asano suddenly felt a biting chill.
This gloomy cold directly awakened her groggy brain for a while.
Turning to look, a pale house number hangs on the door, so familiar, but can't remember it...
Somehow, Asano Chika gently knocked on the door of the room with the white house number, in the dead of night like this.
There was an empty voice in the house, and it sounded that not only was there no one in there, but there seemed to be no furniture.
"Tick-tick-tick-"
The sound of water was getting louder and louder.
Asano Chika stopped knocking on the door and turned to look at the toilet at the end of the corridor.
Better go and turn it off and go back to rest...
She took another step and approached the bathroom at the end step by step.
At this time, there was a sudden "squeak -" sound from the front.
A chilling wind came from the front, and the door of the bathroom at the end of the corridor was opened a crack.
Qianxia Asano stared blankly at the door, nothing appeared except the wind, but... the sound of dripping water echoing in the corridor became clearer.
Sure enough, the faucet in the bathroom was not tightened?
Asano Chinatsu continued to move towards it.
She seemed to be in a daze, and she had to screw on the tap that hadn't been turned off completely.
Close it early and go to bed early...
She quietly walked to the bathroom, just about to open the door, but heard a slight humming inside.
"The Awaji bird flies around, and the song is so sad.
Xu Mo conquers the soldiers, dreams and souls violate every night.
Awaji came to Chidori, how many mournful sounds.
Xu Moyuan garrison, every night dreams of horror..."
Asano Chika was stunned, this is... a classical waka from the waka collection "Xiaocura Hundred People One Song"...
Now it is generally only heard in Karata competitions.
The person humming in the bathroom... who is it?
She held her breath and quietly pressed her eyes to the crack of the door.
Who is that?
A hazy figure stood in front of the sink, humming vaguely, and the faucet on the sink was dripping water drop by drop, as if to beat her song.
"The Awaji bird flies around, and the song is so sad.
Xu Mo conquers the soldiers, dreams and souls violate every night.
Awaji came to Chidori, how many mournful sounds.
Xu Moyuan garrison, every night dreams of horror..."
The singing seemed to get louder, drowning out the sound of dripping water bit by bit, and it kept getting into Asano Chika's ears.
Suddenly, she felt a cold on the soles of her feet!
When I looked down, my feet were already full of stagnant water!
Looking ahead in the direction of the water stains, the water was flowing out of the sink...
Asano Chika stepped back in horror, however, the touch under her feet made her feel something was wrong again.
This water...how can it be sticky...
In the dim corridor, the pool of liquid under his feet was a deep black.
But she vaguely felt something was wrong, because she smelled some pungent smell.
It's like... the smell of blood that has been left for a long time.
No... no, it must be blood!
The man in the bathroom is committing suicide?
It wasn't the sound of water droplets, it was the sound of blood flowing down drop by drop after she cut her wrist!
That person... who is that person?
Or... maybe she's not human?
Asano Chika, who suddenly realized this, stumbled back as if she had turned on some fear switch.
At this moment, her movements suddenly stopped because... something hit her back.
Asano Chika's breath stagnated, this thing... it's cold, a little hard, but it's not as hard as a wall, it feels like hardened rubber...
Asano Chika slowly turned her head, a pale female face was looking down at her from above.
She is... Maki.
Maki Suzuki!
A chill appeared from the soles of Asano Chika's feet, and climbed all the way from her back to the top of her head. The intense fear made her body tremble.
Yes, Maki...
How could I forget her...
Tomorrow we are going to worship her at the Sayama Snow Mountain...
At this time, a gust of wind blew, and with a bang, the door of the toilet was closed.
"I'm...waiting for you..."
Suzuki Maki leaned down, a white cold air came out of her mouth, and her voice was more infiltrating than the cold air in her mouth.
"what!!!"
Asano Chika finally couldn't bear it any longer and let out a scream.
The next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes and woke up from her sleep.
Her hair was completely wet with sweat, and her heart was beating so violently that it was about to pop out of her chest.
Her cry also attracted others. Shota Takai knocked on the door and asked, "Qianxia, ββare you alright?"
"It's okay! I just...had a nightmare."
Asano Chika comforted herself and got up from the bed.
Yes, just a dream.
I had this dream because was going to Sayama Snow Mountain to worship Maki...
"Then hurry up and prepare, we're leaving!"
ββββ
"They're off."
In the convenience store outside the hotel, five people from Qin Wenyu looked at the six people who were chatting and laughing as they headed to Zajian Snow Mountain with their bags on their backs.
Last night, everyone met Chiba Narubayashi who flew from Hokkaido successfully. He is a man in his thirties with a slender body and a good appearance. He doesn't talk much and always has a smile on his face.
And the clue of the dream he brought was... Worship.
"Let's go too."
Yuki said.
A few people nodded, each carried their bags, and went to the cloudless snow mountain in front of them - Zajian Snow Mountain.
The first step into the narrow snow mountain, everyone immediately felt a terrible chill.
Qin Wenyu looked up at the snow mountain.
Its overall appearance is very strange, like a... tall woman.
Come on, black-level...festival.
