Chapter 282 There really is a ghost!
After so many years, my uncle returned to this city again.
Originally, I was planning to accompany them to visit several nearby universities after returning from Sensō-ji Temple tomorrow afternoon.
However, my uncle suggested that he also wanted to take Natsume to ask for two amulets, so we agreed to meet at Sensō-ji Temple tomorrow morning.
My friend kept talking about that strange doctor along the way.
One moment he said that I had a fickle personality and asked me to stay in the hospital and the next moment he let me go. Who knows what the heck was going on.
Then she said he was impolite and ignored her, which was completely disrespectful.
"Anyway, I really, really don't like him!" she said loudly, "And that hospital looks spooky, too. I won't go there anymore."
"Yeah." I answered her absentmindedly, "Yes, yes, it will never go away."
In fact, I don't like that place either.
"Lily, what are you thinking about?" Noticing my perfunctory response, my friend glared at me with even more dissatisfaction, "I'm talking to you."
"Actually, I was wondering..." I frowned and gently touched the replaced screen, feeling a little distressed, "I was wondering if I really have dementia."
"Huh?" She was stunned. "Why do you say that?"
"Look." I unlocked the password and showed her the latest entry in the memo. "Don't forget to go to the comic convention."
"It's dated this afternoon," I said, "but I don't remember when I wrote it."
“………” She looked very speechless.
Based on my usual experience, this guy would quickly start making extremely high-decibel noises and then launch a massive accusation against me.
as predicted.
Three seconds later.
“Ahhhh, Suzuki Yuri, what do you mean?” she said. “I’ve never been so concerned about my name, and you let me forget a memo and let me break my defense?”
"All the feeding and raising over the past few years have been in vain!"
"......If you have nothing else to do, you should watch less TV dramas." I said, "I feel like you're going to ruin your brain."

The next day, early in the morning, when it was barely dawn, a series of life-threatening calls came from my friends.
Even before I brushed my teeth, she was already standing at my door fully armed, with even her hair so delicate that it smelled delicious.
"I say..." I yawned and asked listlessly, "The time agreed with Natsume and the others was nine in the morning, but you came here at five o'clock. What's wrong with you?"
"Suzuki Yuri." She looked at me with a look of disappointment, as if she were looking at a piece of stone. "I am so disappointed in you."
"Come on, this is Sensoji Temple!" She said loudly in dissatisfaction, "It's a holiday these few days, there must be a lot of tourists. If we don't go early, how can we ask for amulets?"
"Do you want your brother Natsume to waste his time in meaningless queues?" she said. "He's a student going to college. If this delays his course progress and review process, you'll be kicked out of the seat for the ten thousandth time."
I suddenly dreamed back to the hard days in high school when she dragged me to do math problems.
We've been living in peace for so long that I sometimes forget how curly her hair was before.

It is indeed a very good idea to go out after six o'clock.
In winter, the weather is so cold that few people can get out of bed.
When we arrived at the entrance of Sensoji Temple, the sun had not yet risen, and a few shops on the street had already opened, with goods neatly displayed on the shelves. However, there were few people around, and no one could be seen queuing.
Friend: "Hey... um, um, didn't we come a little too early?"
“Well...it’s okay.” I raised my phone and checked. I still had more than half an hour to leave, and I hadn’t even had breakfast yet. My stomach was growling with hunger.
"It's all my fault." She hung her head and said dejectedly, "Why did we get up so early? We acted like two fools."
"......When you call someone a fool, can you please not include me in your count?"
Since the doors were not open yet and we were both extremely hungry, we decided to walk along the street to see if there was any place selling breakfast.
As I walked...I didn't know where the damn navigation was leading me.
There is a temple in front of it.
It looks much smaller than Sensoji Temple, with only a narrow temple gate.
The walls are painted with murals of extremely strong style and color, like a comic strip, extending continuously into the distance.
A black elliptical sphere, with tiny fragments of light and dust. A dazzling light exploded in the middle, forming an irregular semicircle.
On the left are some gods and monsters dressed in ancient costumes, such as Inari, Izanami, Leech, Tamamonomae, etc. On the right... What the hell is that on the right? It's just an eye pollutant, so ugly to me.
To see further back, you have to walk a full circle around the temple wall to see it.
Moreover, there are weeds everywhere, and thorny vines and brambles are constantly climbing and entwining at the base of the wall. Even in winter, there is a sense of eerie green.
It's so lush and green that it's a little scary.
Look at the name of this temple - Wuzhuo Temple. I have never heard of such a bad name.
People name things based on what is auspicious. Even if it is called Ruyi Temple, it is better than Wuzhuo.
"Do you think we should go in and take a look?" my friend tilted his head and said curiously.
I turned around and looked down at her.
This silly girl is usually very timid. She doesn't even dare to watch a movie related to suspense or horror. She even watched The Shining while trembling in my arms. How come she is so brave now?
"...Are you sure?" I suddenly had evil intentions, rolled my eyes, and said to her mysteriously, "Don't you think it's very, very strange that this temple is built here?"
"What?" She looked at me belatedly.
"I heard that this place was a mass grave in ancient times." I made up a story while recalling the horror stories and plots I had read, "The people buried here are all wandering ghosts with no place to live."
"You're trying to trick me."
"Why did I lie to you?"
"Isn't it because I played you around last time, and you've been brooding over it and wanting to get revenge?"
My friend crossed his arms, raised his head proudly, and said disdainfully: "That's all you have. Do you really think I can't see through you?"
Me: “............” No, I won’t be willing to not sell this sword.
Holding her hand, I pointed at the grass and trees by the wall and said, "Logically, the grass and trees shouldn't grow so vigorously in winter. What do you think they rely on to grow?"
Friend: ".......maybe it's just because the soil here is more fertile."
"Yes, the soil here is indeed fertile!" I nodded firmly and continued, "That's because the bodies of dozens or even hundreds of people are buried here."
"Hey." She swallowed and said with her eyelashes blinking, "Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not kidding. Think about it, why do they grow vines and thorns so wantonly?"
"......Why?"
"Because..." I leaned close to her ear, lowered my voice, and said sinisterly, "The nutrients in the dead will be sucked dry one day. Maybe, one day, they will slowly, slowly crawl out, pierce their thorns into your body, and then-"
Damn, I almost scared myself.
"Shh!"
Under the dim sky, in front of the quiet temple.
The gate under the plaque of Wuzhuo Temple suddenly opened, and there was no one inside.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!" We both hugged each other and screamed heartbreakingly at the same time.
No, there really are ghosts! Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
