Chereads / The Ghost of You - Ghost Hunt / Chapter 9 - Day 4 November (3)

Chapter 9 - Day 4 November (3)

Mai, Yasu, Brown and Takigawa together doing round of temperature check and camera position check along with changing tape Brown blessed every corridor. And Takigawa recited his sutra chant while complained about Ayako harshness and rubbed his head.

"Well you ask for it," Ayako replied when she heard them through walkie talkie.

"Maybe I should get both of you to do the temperature reading instead of Mai and Yasuhara," Naru said and that earned more protest from the bickering couple, a loud one at that.

"With that hag!!"

"With that pervented Monk!!!"

"No way!!!" Both of them said it at the same time.

And they started bickering at that again.

"Now that I think of it, where's the usual Ayako and her famous 'this must be earthbound spirit'," Mai said.

"Mai! Seriously, would you consider this spirit as earthbound?" Ayako nagged. "I think I'll have nightmares whenever I remember what you saw in dream."

"I think you should date her," Yasu said to Takigawa. "But I love you...." he tried to hug him.

"Stop joking around your elder, Shounen," Takigawa sighed out of shiver by Yasu's action.

Mai laughed along with John as they saw the two dorks got comical action.

"Huh? Mirror?" Mai thought out loud. "Hey, there's mirror...." she stopped when she realized she's alone in the corridor and she could feel breathing on her neck.

She slowly turned around to see it. No, that's not human. It skin seems translucent and it's eyes were bloodshot and its hair were long and unruly.

Mai could only run and run until she reached another mirror but it filled with... Reiko, she's been pounding the mirror to no avail and Mai frantically tried to do her chant. But she was stopped, she remembered Takigawa said not to direct the nine cut to human. But she couldn't see the monster now. And she saw it everywhere inside the mirror.

And the moan got louder. Mai shivered as she saw Sana just lay there.

"Join us," the girls said along the moaning and thumping.

"No, please..." Mai said as she ran again.

"No, wake me up, Naru!!!!" She screamed as she tripped and realized it hurts.

===

"Where's Mai?" Naru asked as he saw 3 men entered the base.

"Huh? Wasn't she just beside us?" Takigawa looked around.

"Mai, it's not funny," Yasu said.

"Let me check," Lin said as he went to the video surveillance and he pressed replay button.

"When was the last time you saw Mai?" Naru asked.

"Found her!" Lin said. The replay on camera 4 saw Mai walked beside Yasu and on camera 3 at the same time, she disappeared. The time stamp was on 4.04 pm and just a 5 second delay.
