Ginza, 7pm.

There is still half an hour before the guests arrive.

The final preparations are in full swing in the theater.

Generally speaking, in addition to full-time performers, a theater must also have sound engineers, lighting engineers, stage mechanics, electricians, photographers, makeup artists, stylists, waiters, etc...

But because the Peach Mountain Kabuki Theater is gradually declining, many jobs cannot recruit corresponding people, and they cannot afford so much wages. In the current Peach Mountain Kabuki Theater, many members wear multiple jobs.

At present, apart from Yuichi Yagyu, the head of the Peach Mountain Kabuki Troupe and two actors, there are only makeup artist Arashi, photographer Sho Hirai, prop artist Masao Nakamura, Gotou who is in charge of stage modeling and sound work, Asagawa who is in charge of chores, and receptionist and Ms. Qian Shan who led the work.

Sometimes even these crew members have to go on stage to guest star.

Asagawa is complaining, Arashi and Hirai have disappeared at this time, is this a time to be lazy?

"Gotou, did you see Nakamura?" Asagawa asked.

"Ah? Nakamura? He should be in the background?" Gotou, who was doing the final adjustment of the sound system, replied without looking up, "What do you want him for?"

"Sword! Ah'Yan's Sword of Revenge, the prop sword is missing, I put it on the wall behind the scene after the head rehearsal..." Asagawa's tone was rather irritated.

"Could it be taken away by the head of the regiment?" Gotou raised his head and asked, "Maybe the head of the regiment wants to practice again?"

"I'll check it out!"

Asagawa hurried backstage.

Gotou didn't take it seriously either, he lowered his head and continued to fiddle with his stereo.

However, as soon as he inserted the plug for the audio into the socket, the lights at the top of the theater began to flicker.

Is it a short circuit?

Looking at the flickering lights, Gotou immediately pulled out the plug, but the moment he pulled out the plug, the entire main stage hall of the theater suddenly fell into darkness.

"Oops……"

It's really getting busier...

"Hey! Gotou? Why did the power go out?"

Miss Qian Shan, who was in charge of the reception, shouted.

"I don't know! Maybe it's tripped! I'll take a look!"

Gotou scratched his head and stood up. In the darkness, he couldn't see anything around him at all.

So, Gotou took out his mobile phone and lit the ground with the light from the mobile phone screen.

act fast...

Gotou hurried to the switch room.

Fortunately, although it was dark all around, he had walked this road countless times, and the light from the phone was enough for Gotou to tell the direction.

"Squeak..."

Gotou pushed open the door of the power distribution room, and the light from the phone screen shone through, and it really tripped.

He was just about to push the knife up, when at this moment...

"Chi Chi..."

"Chi Chi..."

In the darkness outside the house behind him, suddenly there was a strange sound.

What is that sound?

Gotou was slightly dazed, under normal circumstances, ordinary people who have never encountered supernatural events would never think in the direction of ghosts.

The same goes for Gotou, who even turned towards the door, poked his head out of the corridor, and shouted, "Hello? Who is it?"

"Hey... who is..."

"who is it……"

"Who……"

Gotou's own voice echoed in the corridor.

The thing that made the sound didn't answer, but Gotou could hear it, and it was still approaching him.

And... it's getting closer.

It was so close that Gotou could already tell what that sound was.

That was... the sound of dragging something to the ground!

Which guy is playing such a prank?

Could it be that the guy in the dark pulled down the switch knife too?

Gotou got a little angry, he is a bastard who can't read the air, the group leader regards this performance so important, and there are people who play such silly pranks at a critical moment?

what a jerk...

Gotou was about to walk out of the switch room and give the bumbling guy in the dark hallway a lesson.

However, the moment he stepped out of the door of the power distribution room, Gotou suddenly froze.

Immediately afterwards, goosebumps came up.

No...not right.

I have walked this corridor countless times. Its size and length are simply not enough to echo!

Beads of sweat overflowed instantly on Gotou's forehead.

He immediately retracted the foot that was protruding from the door, and closed the door of the switch room.

Just now when he asked who that guy in the corridor was, the echo was as if he was standing on a cliff and shouting, coming back from the valley...

Cliffs... valleys... Ah'Yan? !

Gotou realized something, and his face turned pale instantly.

impossible……

There's no reason for this to happen...it's just a legend, it's just a story!

But... the way the captain looks today.

Gotou thought of Yuichi Yagyu's behavior today, although the leader has always been very involved in the performance, but today... his level of involvement is a bit bizarre!

Gotou's heart beat faster and faster, and he could clearly hear the crawling thing in the corridor outside the door still moving and getting closer and closer to him!

He kept swallowing saliva, but he could still feel his mouth dry.

whatever god...please get that thing out there...please...

Gotou's family are all Christians, but he's never been this devout.

I don't know if his prayers have appeared, and the sound of the corridor outside the door has really disappeared!

Gotou was overjoyed, however, before he had time to thank the gods.

The door he was leaning against suddenly heard a loud slamming sound!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Gotou's phone fell to the ground in fright, and he shouted involuntarily.

"what!!!"

"Who are you!"

"Who's outside!?"

Gotou's body was firmly against the door, and his chest was stunned by the sound of the door slamming from outside.

"Help……"

"Everyone is fine, come and help me..."

Gotou didn't want to think about whether the one outside the door was a murderer or a ghost, and he was almost scared.

Once people realize something they haven't noticed, their overall thinking will always be biased to that side unconsciously.

Just like Gotou at this moment, after he thinks of echoes, cliffs, and Ah'Yan, his mind is full of Ah'Yan now, and he can even confirm for no reason that it is Ah'Yan who is smashing the door now!

Yes... cell phone, call for help!

Gotou looked down, the phone fell on the ground, more than one meter away from him.

This distance is clearly within reach, but if he wants to pick it up, it means that he has to temporarily leave the door.

And once you leave the door, will the thing outside that is smashing the door directly smash through the door? !

Gotou is desperate.

He tried to reach for the phone with his feet.

Twenty centimeters away...

ten centimeters...

Gotou was sweating profusely, and the pounding outside the door continued, so he didn't dare to relax at all.

The last bit of distance...

Gotou tried his best to straighten his legs...

finally!

He hooked the phone back with his toes!

Gotou immediately crouched down, pressed against the door, and made a phone call while trembling.

But who to call?
