Her Next Door Neighbor Ep. 9: The Hyakki Yagyō Within the Walls

Countless pairs of blood-red eyes opened densely on the ceiling and walls, casting an eerie dark red glow upon the pitch-black, narrow crawlspace. Those eyes were filled with malice and hunger, and below them were deformed mouths, lined with fangs and constantly dripping black saliva. This wasn't a room at all; it was a living prison built from the flesh and blood of countless vengeful spirits. "Newcomer..." "Such a delicious scent..." The mouths simultaneously emitted sharp whispers, the sound surging into my brain like a tide, causing my eardrums to ache. They began to struggle out from within the walls, their dry, twisted arms flailing wildly in the air, trying to grab my clothes and tear apart my flesh. Terrified and losing all reason, I scrambled forward blindly in the cramped crawlspace. I kept bumping into the severed limbs hanging in the air, the cold touch making my scalp crawl. Just then, a faint glow from a phone screen suddenly appeared not far ahead. Behind that light sat a trembling figure. He was frantically typing on his phone. When the figure turned around in terror upon hearing my footsteps, I completely broke down. Because that person was the real me. He was sitting there, unharmed, with a red string tied around his right hand. Board: Novel Serialization, Image Sharing Serializing nightly at 20:00 and 00:00
