The kimono doll stood up from the incense table, twisted its neck stiffly, and said to the living people at the scene: "Shall we come together? Let's play with the caged bird, and you will be ghosts. If you all lose, will you be punished?"

"Punishment required!" "Punishment required!" "Punishment required!"

The other dolls continued to echo.

Wow!

At this time, the door to the side hall suddenly closed.

The little crew chief who was sitting closest to the door finally reacted, quickly stood up from the ground, and rushed over to push the door open.

But before it could touch the door panel, it was bounced back by an invisible force and fell to the ground.

"Hiss, it hurts..."

Nagatomo grinned hoarsely in pain, but he seemed to be fine. He rubbed his sore buttocks and quickly got up from the ground again.

The kimono doll just laughed when she saw this, and laughed heartily in a childish little girl's voice: "You can't run away. We agreed to play a game together, but we have to wait until the game is over."

Then, the figures of the toys that came to life in the side hall became increasingly blurred, turning into indistinct short shadows.

These twisting shadows held hands and formed a large circle, surrounding all four monks in the side hall.

They laugh, they sing:

"Surround it, surround it,

The caged bird,

I want to come out all the time.

In the darkness of dawn,

The moment when the crane and the turtle slip.

Who is that behind?"

"Who is it?" "Who is it?" "Who is it?"

"Who is standing behind you now?"

The shadows of the dolls paused and asked questions to several monks at the Ningyo Temple.

"Vajra controls the Acha, Mola controls the mother-in-law, and Prajna has many qualities..."

None of the monks replied, they all continued to recite the Shurangama Mantra loudly.

The three boys and novices all had their eyes closed, and cold sweat hung on their foreheads.

They have never seen such a formation before, so they are definitely scared.

However, a spell without sufficient spiritual power will have limited impact on the kimono doll that has already begun to take action.

Not only did it not stop its behavior, it actually annoyed it a little.

Kimono Doll: "It's so noisy! I don't like it! It's so noisy!"

“It’s so noisy!” “It’s so noisy!” “It’s so noisy!”

Kimono Doll: "If you don't answer, you lose, punishment!"

"Punishment!" "Punishment!" "Punishment!"

The shadows of the dolls spun again.

They laugh happily and their laughter is innocent.

Among them, a voice said: "My master dug out my eyes with a knife. So old monk, after you all lose, I will dig out your eyes! Hehe."

Another voice said: "My master saw off my left leg. So little monk, when you all lose, I will cut off your left leg! Hehe."

"My master threw me from the third floor..."

"My master put me on the road to be run over..."

The dolls quickly formulated the punishment for the four monks of the Ningyo Temple.

The toys that came to life at the call of the kimono dolls seemed to have a lot of resentment.

Ding bell——ding bell——

Master Ruhui, who was trying to take charge of the overall situation, was still ringing the bell vigorously and reciting scriptures, trying to exert the power of the Shurangama Mantra without being affected by the toys as much as possible.

And his originally kind and solemn face was now filled with only fear and regret.

The old Master is actually a very pragmatic person.

He really knew that the Ningyo Temple he presided over was a very ordinary temple, and it could only handle weird stories that were not too offensive.

Like a baby that cries in the middle of the night, a baby that runs and jumps in the middle of the night.

The reason why he quickly agreed to the Zhengmu couple's commission was because the old mage originally thought that the resentful spirit this time was just a doll that could sing in the middle of the night.

In theory, this should be true.

After all, Kenji Masame has been picking up the kimono doll home for a week.

But apart from being harassed and frightened by the doll's singing every night, he did not suffer any substantial harm.

According to experience, this singing doll should be no different from the previous ones.

With the power of the Ningyo Temple, it can be saved.

But there are always surprises in everything, and theories and experiences sometimes make mistakes.

This doll is an accident.

The strange and evil spirits lurking in it are different from what they appear to be, and their grievances are so great that they are completely beyond the old mage's previous expectations and the scope of his ability to overcome them.

"Fan Duoshe, Taotiva, make up for Duo..." Master Ruhui continued to ring the bell and chant sutras. It seemed that the only thing he could do now was chanting sutras.

In the side hall, the dolls began to sing the song "Caged Bird" again.

Kamiyagawa, Nagatomo Masao, and Masame Kenji have never "played the game."

Kimono Doll probably planned to wait until all seven living people at the scene lost, as promised at the beginning, and then start the punishment together.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The illusory and twisted figures of the dolls are holding hands, and this time they surround the main eye in the center of the ritual array.

Only one person surrounded the unfortunate guy.

"Who is standing behind you now?"

The dolls asked questions in unison again in that playful tone.

Masame Kenji was so frightened that he cried.

Shouldn't it be like this?

Why did the kimono doll become scarier than when it was at home after being sent to the Ningyoji Temple?

When at home, it just sings.

Now he talks to himself about playing games.

And as for the four punishments for losing the game that I just heard about, the mild ones will make people disabled, and the severe ones may directly kill people.

Masame Kenji sobbed and hesitated, but the dolls were impatient to wait.

If you don't guess, you will be regarded as losing the caged bird game just like the monks at the Ningyo Temple.

So, the little crew chief hurriedly shouted to his friends in the circle: "Guess quickly, Kenji. Just guess any number!"

"Huh——" Maybe the bond of friendship really has some indescribable power. Masame Kenji really adjusted his state, "It's a doll, I guess it's a kimono doll!"

"oh?"

The spinning toy shadows stopped.

Directly behind Kenji, a voice came out: "I guessed it right."

"Then...saved?"

Masame and Nagatomo both breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"Um?"

Only Kamiyagawa frowned slightly in surprise.

It seemed to be said before that punishment would only be imposed if all living people present lost the game.

So if someone guesses correctly, it seems to mean that the punishment is lifted.

"But what kind of kimono doll? I'm not called that. I also have a name. My favorite master gave me a name." The kimono doll's voice came out from the shadow circle again, "

My name is Xiaoyu."

"You were called by the wrong name!" "You were called by the wrong name!" "You were called by the wrong name!"

Kimono doll who calls herself Xiaoyu: "What should I do?"

"He loses!" "He loses!" "He loses!"

Xiaoyu: "Hehe, then Masame Kenji, you lose. As for punishment, I'll think about it... you know? My favorite master cut my head open. In return, I later gave him
