Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1038

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled.

"Terrifying?!"

While they were still chattering away, everyone else's expressions changed slightly.

At first, everyone was curious, or even afraid, whether Aoandon would tell scary ghost stories, but unexpectedly, it started with Kousaka Kyosuke.

"Kyosuke-sama, if this is too frightening, then don't blame us for venting our excess fear on you."

Xiangzi covered her mouth and smiled as she reminded her.

She found everyone's expressions quite amusing.

Each of them was filled with a mixture of fear and trepidation, as well as anticipation and excitement.

very funny.

It's much more interesting than regular literature.

Perhaps this is why Chika and Moeha like to play games?

stimulate.

That was definitely exciting.

"Well, it's alright. I'll make a calming talisman after this is over. Wearing it will bring peace to my mind, and I'll definitely not be afraid anymore..."

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled.

He noticed that his partners all looked like they were about to ride a roller coaster, and he understood that none of them were really against it.

Naturally, as these partners wished, they told scary stories.

"It has to be scary enough," Aoandon reminded him.

"Don't worry, I think it's fine, but can I hide behind the screen?"

Kyosuke Kosaka looked at Aoandon, and then at the others, as if asking a question.

"Why?" Aoandon asked directly.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "I can imitate many voices, but during the imitation process, I don't know if I can still maintain a proper posture..."

"Hmm, I enjoy watching you tell stories more. Besides, I'd also like to see your unseemly posture."

Aoandon laughed.

He laughed while glancing at the others with an encouraging look.

"Me too!"

Qianhua immediately raised her hand.

“Sister,” Moeha frowned, “you should say that no matter how upright or not Kyosuke-sama is, or what he becomes, you will still like him.”

"Lord Kyosuke! Whether you are upright or not, I like you!"

Qianhua immediately changed her tune, looking very serious.

Kyosuke Kosaka felt that these two sisters had no morals whatsoever.

As Chika Moeyo spoke up, the others also voiced their support.

"Summon your courage, Kyosuke-sama!"

Miku clenched her fist, her voice firm and resolute, offering strong support.

Nino said, "A little exaggerated expression would be great."

Kyosuke Kousaka rolled his eyes at Nino, "This is just because you think things aren't exciting enough. Who did you learn this from? Believe me or not, I'll inject you with love energy right now."

Nino met Kousaka Kyosuke's gaze, slightly raised her pink eyebrows, and gave him a flirtatious wink.

Her face quietly turned red.

"Go for it, Kyosuke-sama!"

"come on!"

Ichika, Yotsuba, May, and others are more normal.

So does everyone else.

Seeing this, Kyosuke Kosaka gave up.

"A long, long time ago, four merchants went out to do business. They came to an inn to stay overnight, but the innkeeper told them that there were no rooms available..."

Kyosuke Kosaka spoke in a calm voice.

He also took out a guitar from his spatial storage and played deep, somber music as background music.

A smooth melody, tinged with a certain hoarseness, played continuously.

In time with the music, Kyosuke Kosaka slowly recounted the story of the female corpse in the morgue who had transformed into a zombie, emerging from her coffin and breathing on each person.

The following content is similar to some plot points in a certain Journey to the West movie.

It's a scene where a monster is draining the life essence of humans.

However, only one person was conscious this time. This person knew that the female corpse had harmed the other companions, so he used the paper blanket as cover to cover his head and avoid being hurt.

Subsequently, he repeatedly attracted the female corpse's attention by making noises from his movements, and then kept covering his head with a paper blanket.

Kyosuke Kosaka tries to describe the situation as detailed as possible when a person is in danger.

"Here it comes, the female corpse is back!"

"Run! The merchant ran away! Help—help—"

Kyosuke Kosaka meticulously imitated the anxious cries for help from those trying to escape.

In the story, the merchant sought help but received no response. No matter who he asked, no one answered. Finally, he went to a temple, only to find that no one dared to open the door.

Kyosuke Kosaka then imitated the panting sound of a businessman circling a tree, and used his guitar to simulate the screams of a female corpse...

Try to use sound to vividly depict the scene.

The others who were listening attentively to the story temporarily set aside Kousaka Kyosuke himself and instead imagined themselves as the protagonist in the story, so they all looked timid...

Only after the story was completely over did sighs of relief begin to be heard from those around.

"Paper quilt?"

"Aoandon asked curiously."

Kyosuke Kosaka then took out the paper clothes that Shizuko had made in her spare time.

That is, clothing made from the bark of the paper mulberry tree.

Because the weather is too cold in winter and it is impossible to provide a lot of warm clothing, people thought of using the bark of the paper mulberry tree to make clothes and quilts.

Its airtight design makes it exceptionally good at keeping warm.

"This kind of clothing is very popular in the Tang Kingdom."

"I see. It's a pity it didn't appear in winter."

"It will definitely happen this winter."

"hehe."

Aoandon smiled and handed the paper garment back to Kousaka Kyosuke, feeling pleased.

Why the pleasure?

That's because they've seen something new again.

Just as she expected, Kyosuke Kousaka always managed to surprise her.

“The people in the story are all so cold-hearted…” At this moment, someone started talking about the story told by Kyosuke Kousaka.

The speaker was Meichun.

Kyosuke Kosaka looked at Miharu and said, "Think about it, if someone is screaming for help hysterically in the middle of the night, wouldn't you be scared?"

Miharu immediately showed a frightened expression: "...I'm ashamed. It seems I'm also one of the indifferent ones!"

Mafuyu patted Miharu's head: "Common sense. Ordinary people can't defeat monsters."

Kousaka Kyosuke also smiled and comforted Miharu.

"This isn't a matter of indifference or not, but rather a matter of whether or not they have the resources to help. If an ordinary Onmyoji heard this, they would certainly have prepared their spells to carry out the exorcism."

The story is based on the "Corpse Transformation" chapter from "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio," and its horror lies in the fact that one person bears all of it!

There's a sense of dread, like being trapped with nowhere to go.

"Fortunately, Kyosuke-sama is an Onmyoji~" Komachi, who was only scared for a short while while listening to the story, showed a proud expression.

Kyosuke Kosaka laughed and said, "If I weren't an Onmyoji, I could only hide with Komachi."

Komachi chuckled, "With Kyosuke-sama by my side, that's enough. Let's fight side by side then~"

Please don't forget us!

Mengye raised her hand to remind him.

Kyosuke Kosaka focused his gaze on Moeha and the others, resting his chin on his hand as he pondered intently.
