When I was in school, the third floor of the school was always empty…
The entire floor was like that…
Even though the fourth floor had classrooms, students, and teachers…
But only the third floor had no one…
It was like a non-existent floor, ignored by everyone in the school.
My classroom was on the fourth floor, so I often passed by there…
During the day, sunlight shone through the transparent windows into the hallway, but when I stepped onto the third floor, I only felt a chill from my soul. It was as if something was watching me from the empty classrooms, making me shiver.
I got sick, had a fever for several days. The reason… was that I secretly snuck into an empty classroom on the third floor when no one was around…
After that, I started sleepwalking… away from home, to unknown places.
I dreamed… that I was having class in a classroom on the third floor. All the classmates around me weren't looking at the blackboard; they were all staring at me with eerie smiles on their faces.
I was terrified and wanted to escape from there…
Then I woke up.
Because I was found.
At night… in a classroom on the third floor…
Their faces wore familiar smiles.
… …
"This strange tale…"
Non-existent floors and classrooms…
This was a post written by a netizen, with no continuation afterward. It seemed that after writing these words on that day, he never went online again.
Kitahara also read the replies to this post.
Then he discovered…
The person who wrote this post was actually a mentally ill high school student who believed there was another floor between the third and second floors of his school.
After an episode of sleepwalking one night, his family found him in the deserted school.
After that, he went mad.
As for why the post wasn't continued, it's because he is currently undergoing treatment in a mental hospital.
Kitahara looked at the post, deep in thought.
After learning that there were hidden existences in this world, he began to pay attention to these special urban legends.
To others, this might just be a simple case of a mental patient, but to him, this incident was very likely related to hidden existences and the supernatural.
He noticed that the post also indicated the name and location of the person's school.
Akashi Middle School…
Akashi Middle School was not in Tokyo, but it wasn't far either. However, Kitahara didn't have enough travel expenses to get there, so the idea of exploring this urban legend had to be abandoned.
He could only explore it later if he had the chance…
Kitahara thought for a moment.
"Most of the information collected online is either false and unreliable, or too far away. To collect urban legend information closest to me, I can only rely on the people around me…"
For example… student groups are a good source of urban legends.
And…
Kitahara thought of the brand on his chest…
And that eerie and bizarre sacred mountain.
The conditions for triggering that scene must be close to him, perhaps related to some people the original body had interacted with.
After all, the original body wasn't a restless personality; he was quite honest, and before Kitahara came here, his daily routine generally hadn't changed much.
Coupled with his lack of popularity, the number of people he interacted with was very small.
Thinking of this, Kitahara began to recall the people he had interacted with before he transmigrated.
Then he quickly locked onto a target.
Before Kitahara transmigrated here, he had interacted with a female classmate named Takahashi Chihiro.
Kitahara remembered that the interaction was because he coincidentally picked up a jade stone that Takahashi Chihiro, who was passing by, had dropped on the ground while he was eating, and he picked it up and returned it to her.
So, it's related to that jade stone?
Kitahara had clearly seen the appearance of the jade stone at the time…
Only two characters were engraved on it.
Takahashi.
Based on the style and design of the jade stone, the surname Takahashi seemed to be a very ancient surname.
Kitahara was deep in thought.
Unlocking the scene is very likely related to Takahashi Chihiro's jade stone.
And the surname Takahashi is also very likely the surname of the beautiful shrine maiden in the photo.
Looking at it this way…
That sacred mountain must also be related to Takahashi.
Regarding Takahashi Chihiro, based on the information Kitahara currently knows.
At Shinosuke middle school,There is a super beautiful girl with almost the same popularity as Sakura Longwen.
Takahashi is also a long-standing family, a giant among the super families in bustling Tokyo, holding a prominent position.
And Takahashi Chihiro is a direct descendant of Takahashi, and the only daughter of the Takahashi Family Head. Unlike the Longwen Family, Takahashi has many male heirs, so Takahashi Chihiro, as the only girl, became the apple of Takahashi's eye, showered with affection.
Unlike Sakura cold and heroic personality, Takahashi Chihiro is gentle and generous, approachable. She is a more suitable candidate for a wife, while Sakura is more suitable to be the head of a family.
Therefore, Takahashi Chihiro is very popular at Shinosuke Middle School, and it is said that her admirers extend far beyond the school grounds.
Of course, Sakura also has many admirers, but her admirers are more like those who want to become her slaves, her servants.
Thinking of this, Kitahara began to search for information about Takahashi online.
Then he suddenly discovered a legend about Takahashi.
Legend has it…
Takahashi clan originated from a small fishing village by the sea during the Warring States period, where people made a living by fishing.
Takahashi Ichigo was skilled fishermen in the village, often catching far more fish than others. The first Takahashi Clan Patriarch was the most skilled fisherman at that time.
Believing his fishing skills far surpassed ordinary people, he often ventured into the deep sea alone.
He also salvaged many strange things because of this.
And the legend about Takahashi Clan began with the return of the Takahashi Family Patriarch from a fishing trip at that time…
Legend has it that during a fishing trip to the deep sea, the Takahashi Clan Patriarch caught a very peculiar fish.
It had human skin and looked more like a mass of soft flesh, with human facial features embedded in it.
As soon as the strange fish landed, it let out an unpleasant cry. The Takahashi Clan Patriarch thought it was some strange type of fish at the time and didn't pay much attention to it.
Due to the war… many villages at that time were very short of food, and even fishing villages would have no harvest due to some special circumstances in the sea. Therefore, every fish in the village was a very important food.
So, after the Takahashi Clan Patriarch landed and returned to the village, the hungry villagers quickly gathered around.
At that time, Takahashi Clan was one of prestigious Clans in the village.
There were many people in the family.
After the Takahashi Clan Patriarch brought the strange fish back to the village, he directly butchered it in the village. Amidst the strange fish's mournful screams, it was quickly cut into a large amount of sashimi.
Afterward, the Takahashi Clan Head distributed the sashimi to many people in the village for consumption.
This included his gluttonous little daughter, who had just turned seven.
However, after everyone ate the sashimi, a horrifying scene occurred.
Almost all the villagers who had eaten the sashimi vomited blood an hour later, and then, amidst screams, rapidly decomposed into a pool of blood at a visible speed.
The only ones who survived were the Takahashi Clan Patriarch little daughter… and the villagers who had not eaten the fish meat.
