    The show has begun.

    Nobuhara watched "Ah'Yan" on the stage. Although his expression was calm, his heartbeat was constantly accelerating.

    He knew very well that once this round of performances was over, it was the moment when he was killed.

    What the hell do I have to do to avoid being killed by the ghosts on stage?

    Nobuhara's heartbeat was extremely violent.

    The stage performance is coming to an end.

    He could even feel the undisguised malice of that ghost!

    Way... what else?

    ————

    monitoring room.

    Ibuki and Kosaki Nomi stared at the screen.

    The choice made by the manager of Nobuhara made the two of them surprised and admired. He is going to solve the curse about "Ah'Yan".

    But, will it really work out like this?

    What was happening on the screen made both of them break into a cold sweat.

    Immediately the performance on the stage will end, what should the management of Nobuhara do to escape this almost mortal catastrophe?

    Whether it's breaking the curse, finding the lover who ate Ah'Yan's flesh, or repaying Yuichi Yagyu's kindness, if you can't pass the current level, everything is just empty talk.

    Ibuki Yuzuru looked very nervous. What she didn't know was that not everyone was like her and faced a situation of almost certain death as soon as they entered the festival.

    But at this moment, Ibuki Yuzuru actually felt that his thinking was much clearer than usual.

    She carefully clarified her thoughts and found several suspicious places.

    Mr. Qin said on the phone before that he should pay attention to all the unusual and doubt all the doubtful places...

    So……

    Ibuki Yuxian made up her mind. She stared at the screen and asked, "Can... Miss Nomi, I have some questions, maybe you can answer me?"

    Kosaki Nomi was very nervous, her eyes were completely on the screen, and her mind was in chaos. At this moment, she heard the voice of Yibui Youxian, and she was puzzled and surprised.

    "Excuse me, Miss Ibuki." Perhaps because Ibuki Arizuru saved her, Kosaki Nomi has a very good attitude towards Ibuki.

    Ibuki Yuzuru thought for a while, and asked: "Just now... I saw on the screen that Miss Nomi and Mr. Nobuhara are both in spectator seats, and they look and act exactly like other 'people'. I want to know...why."

    Kosaki Nomi was taken aback: "Because those audiences are all ghosts, we are imitating all their actions, if they find that we are different from them, we will definitely be killed by them."

    "But...why?" Ibuki Yuzuru's expression was a little weak, but his expression was firm, "How did Miss Nomi and Mr. Nobuhara come to this conclusion?"

    "Is it worth thinking about? Generally speaking, it's not like this..." Kosaki Nomi stopped in the middle of his words.

    "So, Neng... Miss Nomi and Mr. Nobuhara have not seen with their own eyes the consequences of not imitating ghosts, is that so..."

    Ibuki Yuzuru still had that hesitant tone, but this time, Kosaki Nomi took her words to heart.

    She should have realized it long ago.

    If Yuzuru Ibuki was just an ordinary person, how could he have shown such composure and action when he first came into contact with a ghost that was completely different from the normal world?

    She even dared to set an alarm clock, sliding out her phone on the floor to distract the ghost's attention.

    "Did you think of anything, Miss Ibuki?" Kosaki Nomi asked seriously, she finally stopped treating Ibuki as a newcomer who didn't know anything.

    "I... I just think it's very strange that there were only three vacant seats out of a hundred spectator seats at the beginning." Yibuki Youxian said.

    She noticed this problem from the beginning, and kept thinking about it, and now, under the extremely dangerous situation that Nobuhara is facing, she finally has some clues.

    "You mean, Mr. Yuichi Yagyu was excluded from the audience list in the first place?" Kosaki Nomi couldn't understand, "Mr. Nobuhara also mentioned that there is only one thing we can be sure of, maybe Yuichi Yagyu The banquet requirements are different from ours?"

    Ibuki Yuxian shook his head and whispered: "This matter is not important... The important thing is that the reason why Mr. Yagyu was chosen as an actor, the difference in the requirements of the festival is only the external form, I... My doubt is that this Why does the banquet arrange for human beings to play the role of an actor..."

    Her question stopped Kosaki Nomi.

    Why?

    Why does the banquet arrange for a human to play the role of a ghost? Can't Yuichi Yagyu just let Yuichi Yagyu watch the whole show in spectator seats just like them?

    Or...the role of Yuichi Yagyu on the stage is necessary for his existence?

    But what is the necessity?

    Kosaki Nomi's thoughts changed suddenly. She is not a very intelligent person, but the experience of many sacrificial banquets made her extremely sensitive.

    Finally, Kosaki Nomi thought of a possibility, and she said quickly:

    "Could it be that the real way out is to prevent the performance of 'Ah'Yan' and let Mr. Yagyu complete the performance? Then Mr. Yagyu's request for the banquet may be to carry out a performance smoothly?"

    Ibuki Youxuan nodded vigorously and added: "Maybe... there may be another half of the task, because... there are not only actors but also audiences in the performance hall. We are divided into four directions - ghost actors, ghost audiences, Actor, audience."

    "If we want to prevent the ghost actors from finishing the scene...then we should also prevent the ghost audience from watching the scene, right?" Ibuki looked at the screen seriously and said, "So, why do we imitate the behavior of the ghost audience? They should also have to watch the whole show, and if they do something unusual and don't focus on the stage, they will be punished too, right?"

    What's more... Ibuki didn't say anything.

    That is, it is fundamentally unrealistic for humans to imitate the behavior of ghosts, because humans have vital signs, but ghosts do not.

    Just like at the opening moment of the performance, Kosaki Nomi was watched by all the ghosts. Kosaki Nomi and Nobuhara Guanren in the game may not have noticed it, but in the monitoring room, Ibuki Yuzuru, who is a bystander, can see clearly .

    Although Kosaki Nomi is trying her best to control her expressions and movements, if you look carefully, you can find that her body is rising and falling with her breathing, which cannot be controlled unless she holds her breath.

    "But... it's useless to say this now. This round of performances on the stage is about to end. Mr. Nobuhara is in danger. We are here, and there is no way to help him..."

    Kosaki Nomi's voice is full of sadness and despair.

    If it wasn't for the inability to take her eyes off the screen, she even wanted to turn her head sideways, unable to bear to witness the death of this kind companion.

    Unexpectedly, Ibuki Yuxian clenched his fists and said firmly: "No... useful, Miss Nomi, these speculations are just to verify a result, that is... We don't need to pretend in front of ghost audiences and ghost actors. Being a ghost, we can move freely, we just need to pay attention, and keep our eyes on the stage when we are in action, because after all, there is only one requirement for the sacrificial banquet, that is, after the show, just stare at the stage and watch With that ghost actor..."

    Kosaki Nomi still couldn't understand, she resisted the urge to look at Ibuki Yuzuru, and asked, "But, does this speculation help Mr. Nobuhara's current situation?"

    Ibuki Yuzuru took a deep breath and said, "Yes."

    Then, she pressed the microphone button on the monitoring station.
