Capítulo 2471: Chapter 1654: Mysterious House
“Does everyone know about the Mysterious House?”
“Mysterious House?”
Hearing Miyamoto’s question, Banai tilted her head in confusion.
“Yes, there was once a legend, a Hunter went into the mountains to hunt, then lost his way, and he accidentally ca across a house in the deep, deep mountains. At the ti there was a storm, and the Hunter had no choice but to go inside to take shelter from the rain…”
“The Hunter entered the house and found that there was no one inside. But strangely, there were prepared snacks and tea in the guest room. The Hunter, being tired and hungry, ate the snacks intending to apologize to the owner when they returned. After eating, the Hunter fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up, the house was still empty, but there was delicious food in the kitchen. So the Hunter ate the al, rested for a while, and after the storm subsided, left the place and went ho…”
“And then?”
Chitanda, curious, looked at Miyamoto, apparently interested in a story that didn’t seem so grueso.
“Then the Hunter told everyone about it, but no one believed him, so he went back into the mountains, but he never found the house again. It is said that the house only appears to those who are lost, as if it is specially prepared for them, so everyone calls it the Mysterious House.”
“But what does this have to do with Baixue Hall? Is this place also…?”
“I also heard about it.”
Miyamoto gave a wry smile.
“It’s said that this house suddenly appeared here, no one knew who built it, they only know that when it was discovered, it has always been like this. At that ti, a wealthy businessman took a liking to this house and moved in with his family, and then… a friend of the businessman went to visit him, only to find that the businessman’s family had died… had been dead for years, but the friend’s businessman had t and chatted with him just a few days before.”
“……”
“The businessman’s wife and daughter were the sa. Before this, everyone didn’t think there was anything wrong with them. But after the bodies were discovered, they were never seen again. After that, similar incidents happened several tis. So people, who didn’t believe in evil, bought the house and moved in. But when his friends ca to visit, they found his corpse that had been dead for several days… even though he had been working with them just the day before…”
“Later, it was said that those who lived in this house would be killed by another version of themselves, and then the other self would disguise as the person and live and work outside. And once soone found the original body, they would also disappear…”
“Strange.”
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai furrowed his brow and began to think.
“If such Monsters truly exist, they would also need to take care of the bodies. This area is deserted, and if they just find a place to dig a hole and bury the body, no one would ever find out, right? After all, when guests co over, they won’t dig around everywhere.”

“I don’t know about that either.”
Miyamoto shook his head, took out a handkerchief, and wiped his sweat.
“The legend only says they discovered the bodies, but how exactly they were discovered, no one ever says… but ghost stories are like that, they don’t hold up to scrutiny. As Miss Duanmu ntioned, if you think carefully, there are always flaws. So many legends are vague…”

After this, everyone enjoyed the warm hospitality of Mr. Ueno, having a sumptuous dinner. The food tasted quite good. According to Mr. Ueno’s introduction, all were cooked by Miss Sakurai. Banai ate heartily, but Chitanda was uneasily staring at the plates, seeming troubled by the ghost story she had heard earlier.
Unexpectedly, after dinner, Mr. Ueno did not let them return to their guest rooms to rest. Instead, he took everyone to the reception room on the first floor.
Of course, this place had been slightly altered. The reception room, which originally should have housed sofas, coffee tables, and a TV, had been emptied. Instead were exhibition cabinets all around the walls, displaying a variety of bizarre masks. According to Sakura Kahi, Mr. Ueno had transford this room into a mask chamber to display masks from various legends.
Admittedly, those things hanging on the walls gave a rather creepy feeling.
However, what Mr. Ueno said next took everyone by surprise.
“Actually, I invited you all here this ti with a small request.”
Standing in the center of the mask chamber, Mr. Ueno smiled and spoke to everyone.
“As a commoration for the museum’s opening, I hope everyone can play ‘Hundred Tales’ here tonight.”
“What? Here?”
Producer Sangtian appeared sowhat surprised and glanced around.
“That’s right.”
Mr. Ueno nodded.
“Everyone should know about the Hundred Tales. In folklore, it is also very famous.”
“……”
No kidding, even Duanmu Huai knows that the so-called Hundred Tales involves everyone sitting in a room at night, lighting a hundred candles, and telling ghost stories. With every story, a candle is blown out until a hundred ghost stories are told, and then a Demon appears.
