Chapter 165: Stories and Truth

Uchiha Ling was a little surprised. But she obviously can't see you..."

The monster named Fireflies lowered his head, "That happened a long time ago. That child often chatted with me when he was a child. We always watched fireflies here together for a while."

"But one day, she suddenly couldn't see me anymore..."

Uchiha Ling: "Suddenly...can't see?"

Yinghuang nodded, then smiled to himself. "Actually, I knew this before I came into contact with her. Some ordinary people who are naturally very spiritual can see some monsters in their childhood."

"And as children grow up, their spirituality will gradually dissipate...and eventually turn into ordinary people. This is why what you humans call children can see things that adults cannot."

At this time, Zihu also ran over from a distance.

"Master Yingying, this is the human who helped my sister."

Yingguo's expression didn't change at all, as if he already knew Uchiha Ling's identity.

"It's been a long time since I've spoken so much to a human. Do you want to hear my story?"

Uchiha Ling sat on the floor, "I'm bored anyway, so I might as well listen to it."

.........

Early the next morning, Uchiha Ling knocked on the door of the girl's room next door. Then Yukinoshita suddenly pushed the door open and pulled Uchiha Ling in.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Uchiha Rei, who was pulled in by Yukinoshita, saw Chika Fujiwara jumping on Chitanda at first sight.

"Ah, is this something I can see without paying?"

Yukinoshita rubbed her brows, "Fujiwara-san woke us up early in the morning as if he was having a nightmare, and then he yelled that he saw a hanging figure in room No. 7 opposite last night."

Last night, I was out in the first half of the night, and when I came back in the evening, I didn't find any monsters nearby.

Fujiwara Chika raised her head, still holding Chitanda tightly and said slowly.

"Last night I suddenly felt thirsty, and when I sat up to drink a glass of water, I saw a vaguely hanging shadow floating in the room opposite!"

Yukinoshita opened the window and looked across, "Could it be that you saw it wrong? After all, if there really was that kind of thing last night, the hotel wouldn't treat it like nothing happened."

Chika Fujiwara clenched her fists, "That's the problem. I saw it yesterday, but there was nothing this morning."

Chitanda Airi rubbed Chihua's head, and then showed a serious expression.

"Actually...I also saw the hanging shadow."

Just when Chika Fujiwara got up to drink water, Chitanda, who had a relatively light sleep, also woke up, and then saw the shadow emerging in the darkness outside the window.

"When I woke up in the morning, I thought I saw it wrong, but Fujiwara-san said he saw the same thing."

Yukinoshita: "What if the two of them saw it wrong together? After all, there was only moonlight outside at that time, so it is normal to see something wrong in that dim situation."

Chitanda Eru put her chin on her head and suddenly stretched her face in front of Yukinoshita.

"Yukino! Then what did we get confused with?"

"this...."

Chitanda Airu raised her hand, "Let's go investigate together! I'm very curious!!"

Uchiha Ling: "Then just go to the boss lady or Xiao Ai and ask us to go to room 7 to see if it's okay. Anyway, it's an empty room with no one staying in it."

When a group of four people found Hinasuru's proprietress and wanted to see room No. 7, Hinasuru Akina just smiled, then nodded and looked at Uchiha Ling.

"Did you tell them what happened last night?"

"Last night?" Fujiwara Chika caught the keyword.

"What did Ling-san and the landlady do last night?" Chitanda Eru said, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.

Yukinoshita's cold eyes glanced over. "Uchiha-san, I misjudged you."

"Wait a minute!"

Uchiha Ling noticed something was wrong with the way the three women looked at him and said hurriedly. "Who do you think I am? Although I admire Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms, I am just admiring him!"

Hinazuru Akina smiled and said, "Sorry, there is something wrong with my statement. Although I don't know the purpose of your coming to room seven, I can probably guess it... I'm really sorry."

The landlady opened the door. The layout of room No. 7 was the same as the other rooms, except that a beam was placed between the two windows.

Hinazuru Akina picked up a golden yukata from the low table nearby.

"I was hanging clothes here last night. If you accidentally saw something wrong, it's probably the problem with this piece of clothing."

Chika Fujiwara was surprised, "Hey!! Then the shadow we saw... is actually just hanging clothes?"

Chitanda: "Is this really true?!"

Yukinoshita: "If it's clothes, why do you, Auntie Hinazuru, hang the clothes to dry at night?"

Hinata held Yukata in her arms, "It seems that this little classmate really didn't tell you what happened last night..."

Uchiha Ling said helplessly, "I'm not the kind of person who likes gossip, and it's late at night. Even if I want to tell them, I can't enter the room."

This time it was Hinazuru Akina's turn to blink in surprise. "Eh? Didn't you open two rooms as a cover, but actually live together?"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "How is that possible!"

Ahina Hinazuru looked at them awkwardly, "I'm really sorry, I thought..."

At this time, Chitanda suddenly asked. "Wait a minute, if the legend is just Aunt Hinazuru hanging clothes, then the legend of the pond is also false!"

Hearing the word pond, Hinazuru Ahina's expression was slightly nostalgic and sad.

"Sometimes it's hard to keep things in your heart, do you want to listen to my story?"

Fujiwara Chika and Chitanda Eru, who were the most curious, certainly would not miss this opportunity to listen to the story, because they were keenly aware that Hinazuru Ahina must know something about the pond.

Uchiha Ling sat aside, and the experience he learned from Yingguang was perfectly connected with Hinazuru Ahina's own story.

He finally sorted out the truth about the pond from the story.

25 years ago, Hinazuru Ahina was only 8 years old at the time......
