Chapter 1655 The House of Ghost Stories (I want to eat something good)
After that, everyone found Mr. Ueno’s third brother, Miyamoto.
Miyamoto's appearance looks like a typical fat otaku image, fat and otaku, and wearing thick glasses, it's like the fat otaku in the animation has traveled to reality.
And his character is similar to that of Feizhai. When Duanmuhuai and Bana saw them, they were so nervous that they couldn't speak at first. After taking the initiative to open a distance of a coffee table, Miyamoto's expression relaxed a little, but he still stuttered when he spoke.
"You, you are talking about weird stories about food... In fact, as the teacher said, there are many in ancient Japanese legends. For example, the famous... eight or eight hundred bhikkhunis."
< br>
"Ah, I know this too!"
Yana clapped her hands at the sight.
"I remember the legend said that eight hundred bhikshunis saved a mermaid, and then the mermaid gave her his own flesh to repay her kindness, and then eight hundred bhikshunis became immortal, right?"
"Well, well, that's true, but...the important thing is not the eight hundred bhikkhunis, but the mermaids..."
Having said this, Miyamoto also piled up the fat on his face and showed a strange smile.
"You, what do you think, a human, a mermaid looks like?"
"Huh? Isn't it just that the upper body is a human and the lower body is a fish?"
"Hehe... Hehe... Well, that's a Western fairy tale. Because mermaid animations are very popular, everyone thinks so..."
"Isn't it?"
Chitanda also asked curiously, and Miyamoto nodded vigorously.
"No, no, that's right. Actually, the legend also says that it is very clear that the eight hundred bhikshunis met people, mermaids. Not beauty, beauty, mermaids."
"???"
Isn't it just one word difference? What's the difference?
"Day, day, there is a mermaid legend spread in ancient Japan. The mermaid in the legend... is actually a fish body, and then grows a baby's head."
As he spoke, Miyamoto opened his tablet and placed what looked like an ancient painting to show to the three of them. Indeed, as Miyamoto said, the mermaid in the painting has a human face and a fish body, which looks extremely weird and terrifying, not at all as beautiful as the Little Mermaid in the cartoon.
"Huh? Is this what the eight hundred nuns encountered?"
Chitanda looked like her dream was broken. Perhaps in Chitanda's imagination, she was imagining the wonderful scene of the eight hundred nuns and the little mermaid sister talking and laughing at the beach.
But if you replace the mermaid with this thing, it will only be weird.
"Ah, I see, no wonder!"
On the contrary, Yana clapped her hands when she saw the look of realization.
"Kingna-san?"
"I've always found it strange. Legend says that a mermaid invited eight hundred bhikkhunis to eat its flesh, but how did they eat it?"
"………………"
It's fair to say that with Yanami's mind, it's impossible for him to have other ideas.
"If it were in the form of a mermaid, it would feel like cannibalism, wouldn't it? Eight hundred bhikkhunis wouldn't want to eat it, but if it were in this form, it would be fine. As long as the head is cut off, no matter how you look at it, It’s an ordinary fish, isn’t it?”
"…………"
What you said sounds a bit like a horror story, so instead of saving the mermaid, eight hundred nuns chopped off the mermaid's head, made it into sashimi and ate it, and then obtained immortality?
Seeing Hanami happily telling Chitanda whether this kind of food should be grilled or fried, Duanmuhuai had nothing to say.
Maybe when Yana encounters such a mermaid, he won’t hesitate to speak out.
"But, don't eat random things you don't know..."
But then Miyamoto interrupted.
"I, let me tell you a strange story related to food."
"Ah..."
Speaking of which, the one just now doesn’t count.
"The story I'm telling you has something to do with not eating food indiscriminately. Legend has it that a group of hikers went climbing, and then they accidentally discovered an abandoned village. A few hikers curiously went over to check it out, and the result was There are strange trees found in the village. They are about two meters tall, with white flowers and yellow fruits that smell very sweet.”
"Hmm, what next?"
Sure enough, when she heard about the food, Bana's eyes widened more than anyone else's.
"Of course, those hikers picked a few fruits out of curiosity. Their outer skin looked like mangoes, and after peeling it off, there was pink flesh inside. Some people couldn't help but take a bite and found that they were sour, sweet, and very delicious. . So other people also ate the fruits. However, some people felt that this wild fruit should not be eaten casually, so they did not eat it. ”
"Hmm, what next?"
"Of course, then those who ate the fruit became very uncomfortable. Just when that person thought they had eaten the fruit, suddenly those people opened their mouths and took it, and then from their nostrils, ears, and mouths, Lots and lots of little bugs spewed out, and the bodies of those people shriveled up as if they had turned into skin bags... Actually, that was not the case. What fruit, but insect eggs. Those people ate the insect eggs, so the insects hatched in their bodies, then ate their internal organs and flesh, and then emerged from them... So the person who did not eat the fruit eventually... I set a fire and burned the insects, the corpses of my companions, and the village together..."
"Woo......"
Although Miyamoto's story-telling skills are not very good and he stutters, the content is enough to make people feel sick. At this moment, Chitanda was pale, covering her mouth and shaking, while Yanami tilted her head in confusion, thinking.
"As expected, it's not good to eat it raw. I wonder if it's okay to roast it?"
In a sense, Yanami can be considered a god.
"Anyway, in short...it's better not to put unfamiliar food into your mouth easily..."
Even Miyamoto couldn't keep up with Yanami's thinking, so he had no choice but to say this. In any case, the harvest this time is not small. He is worthy of being a domestic folklore research expert. If he misses anything, it will make the belly of these societies full of food.
"Thanks for the advice."
Duanmuhuai said to Miyamoto, who also scratched his head in embarrassment.
"No, it's nothing. By the way, Miss Duanmu... I'm a fan of your movie. Can I sign your autograph?"
"No problem."
"Great!"
After hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Miyamoto hurriedly took out a postcard and a signature pen from his pocket. That postcard was an announcement for a horror movie starring Duan Muhuai. It showed a photo of a girl in a long skirt standing in the middle of the lake. She looked like she was the protagonist.
Well, in fact, this is also a publicity fraud. The method used during the announcement was to make people think that Duanmu Huai was the protagonist. In addition, he rarely showed such a sad and pitiful look on the poster, which made people think that Duanmu Huai was the protagonist. Many viewers thought that Duanmu Huai had become a good person and had changed from a scary person to a frightened person.
So they all bought tickets and entered the venue, wanting to see what it would be like for this actor who always likes to scare others to be scared.
In the end, Duanmu Huai told them with facts that whoever said Chu Chu was pitiful could not be a murderer...
Recalling the wailing of the movie fans who were tricked into the movie theater, and the scene where they reluctantly walked out of the movie theater and turned into ghosts to drag others to their deaths... Well, it's still a bit interesting.

Duanmuhuai took the signature pen and signed his name on the back of the postcard.
"Thank you, thank you! I will treat it as a family heirloom!"
There is no need to be so exaggerated.
“Is it difficult to get Xiao Ai’s autograph?”
Seeing Miyamoto's ecstatic expression, Nanami asked curiously, while Miyamoto nodded vigorously.
"Of course, because Miss Duanmu rarely attends events, let alone interacts with fans, except for the premiere, the only way to get her autograph is luck. This postcard is what I learned After Miss Duanmu came, she specially took it out of the safe!”
Return the safe...
"By the way, Miss Duanmu's signature can be sold for hundreds of thousands of yen online!"
"Hey————!?"
"Everyone has plenty of money and spare time."
Duanmu Huai silently complained, after all, things are rare and valuable. From Duanmu Huai's debut to now, excluding the signature on the contract, it is not certain whether his autograph has exceeded 10,000.
Although Duanmuhuai doesn't mind signing autographs for others, there is a prerequisite.
That is, the other party must be able to find themselves first.
As for whether Miyamoto wants to take it back as a family heirloom or sell it, Duanmuhuai doesn't care.
"Ah, yes, that's right."
After putting away the postcard solemnly, Miyamoto looked at the three people again.
"You, you should also be careful, because this house is also a strange legend."
"Huh?"
I have to say that even Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
"Snow White Pavilion?"
"Well... Listen, I heard that it is a famous haunted house in the local area... This house was built from the Meiji period, and then all the owners of the house died violently... Everyone said that this house was cursed... …”
"Hmm..."
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes meaningfully and thought for a moment. And Yana frowned slightly, looking a little uneasy.
"In other words, this house itself is also a kind of ghost story, and then Mr. Ueno also placed so many things from folklore ghost stories in this house?"
What is this, fighting fire with fire?
"Excuse me, what exactly is this strange story?"
"This..."
Facing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Miyamoto thought for a moment.
"Actually, I'm not very clear about it. There are rumors that everyone who lives here will be killed by another self..."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai immediately cheered up. He had encountered a similar situation in another world before. The shadow in that world could kill the main body and then replace it. But apart from that, there are similar legends in most worlds, such as doppelgangers - people who see another one of themselves will die within a short period of time.
And different people have different explanations for this.
For example, Caiyi believes that this statement is because people have a spirit and a soul, and the other self is most likely the soul that has left the body. If a person has no soul and only has a spirit, then he will naturally die soon. After all, China has had the idea of calling ghosts since ancient times. For example, some children who were frightened and fell into coma would say that the ghosts had scared them away, and then they would take the children out to call for ghosts.
Fulian thinks this is just a coincidence, just like the survivor effect. Many people have seen their other self, but few have been killed. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it is some kind of magical effect.
Lumiere felt that it was simply a hallucination, or it could be that the disease invaded the brain, causing the patient to hallucinate. Generally speaking, most diseases that affect the brain are difficult to cure, and they may reach an advanced stage, so after that, the patient dies, and this legend becomes known.
All in all, similar situations exist in every world, but the reasons are varied.
"Can you tell me more about it?"
