Chapter 536: Cooling Activities and Strange Stories

Mid May.

The beginning of summer has passed.

The weather is getting a little hot, making people feel restless.

It has not rained for more than two weeks since the beginning of May.

The scorching sun hanging in the sky greedily absorbs the moisture from the ground, as if preparing for the upcoming rainy season.

It was evening and the evening breeze blew past, bringing some coolness to the hot weather.

After dinner, everyone moved out the lounge chairs and placed them outside the villa, enjoying the sunset in front of them. It was so relaxing.

Inside the villa’s kitchen.

Shen Yun pulled out a sharp kitchen knife. His expressionless face was reflected on the shiny blade, as cold as a fish that had been slaughtered in RT-Mart ten years ago.

"Crack!"

Shen Yun raised his knife and split the frozen Qilin melon in front of him into two halves. For a moment, bright red juice flowed along the cut surface.

The flesh of the Qilin melon is bright red, without a single watermelon seed, and the rind is less than one finger thick.

"Not bad." Shen Yun looked at the red flesh of the melon and nodded with satisfaction.

It's a melon that comes to repay a favor.

Afterwards, Shen Yun quickly cut the bright red flesh of the Qilin melon into small cubes of average size, and then swept these small cubes into the fruit plate, and inserted seven or eight toothpicks on them.

"Done." Shen Yun wiped the juice off his hands, picked up the fruit plate and walked out of the villa.

Outside the villa, everyone was lying on lounge chairs, chatting and enjoying the cool evening breeze, feeling so leisurely.

"Ah~ I'm so idle. Wenluo and the others are not doing anything." Washio Takeshi covered his face with a book and sighed.

"Come to think of it, it seems that the wolf ghost hasn't appeared recently." Ohkawa Sae placed the girl in his arms on his thighs, and her straight and slender legs swayed slightly unconsciously. Then he turned to look at Tidom who was sitting beside him and said regretfully.

"I originally wanted to defeat the wolf ghost and rescue Baiyin..."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Utatsu Sotaro, who was wearing a red vest and concentrating on sumo training, asked without turning his head when he heard this.

"Of course it's not good! The quieter Wen Luo and the others are now, the more it proves that they are plotting a bigger conspiracy." Tidom sat up straight, looking very serious.

"It doesn't matter. As long as we work together, no matter what Wen Luo's plan is, we won't let him succeed!" Lion said with full energy.

"What an optimistic guy." Samezumi folded his arms across his chest, watched the passionate lion walk away, and shook his head with emotion.

"Yeah~" Tidom and Ohkawa Sae looked at each other and smiled.

"Don't worry about nothing. Come and eat some fruit to cool down." Shen Yun came outside the villa with a fruit plate, placed the cut fruit plate on the small table in the middle of the crowd, and said with a smile.

"Wow! It's a watermelon!" When Ohkawa Sae saw the red flesh in the fruit bowl, she quickly threw the girl's comic in her hand aside, jumped off the recliner, and said in surprise.

"It seems that it is not the season for eating watermelon yet? Where did you get it, Doctor?" Washio Takeshi also sat up from the recliner and asked in surprise.

"It's a very good quality melon given by a friend from my hometown," Shen Yun said casually.

The technical value provided by his series of collaborations with the domestic military is immeasurable.

It's just shipping some fruits from the country, it's no big deal.

"Don't you need to sprinkle salt on it?" The lion picked up a piece of watermelon with a toothpick and looked at the others eating it directly, wondering.

"No need to add salt. The watermelons from Shen Jun's hometown are much sweeter than those from Japan." Tidom said, and picked up another piece of watermelon and put it into his mouth. The flesh was cool and refreshing, and the sweet taste immediately bloomed on the tip of his tongue, making Tidom's eyes narrow into crescents with satisfaction.

"Wow, so sweet!" The lion also exclaimed after eating a piece of watermelon.

"Doctor, don't you want to eat?" Ohkawa Sae asked, looking at Shen Yun who didn't move.

"No need, you guys just eat it. I'm tired of it. Watermelons are not expensive in my hometown." Shen Yun shook his head and said.

"Eh~ is it cheap?"

"Well, about 100 yen can buy a melon weighing to kilograms." Shen Yun calculated and said.

2001年，国内的瓜大多都是2-3毛钱一斤，贵一点的也就4-5毛钱一斤。

According to the current exchange rate, 100 yen is about 7 yuan, which is enough to buy a melon weighing more than or kilograms. It is not an exaggeration.

“This is too cheap.”

"I'm so envious! I also want to achieve watermelon freedom."

"What's the big deal? If you like watermelons, you can eat as much as you want. My friends from my hometown sent me quite a few watermelons, probably about a hundred. Moreover, before the summer is over, they will send me a batch every month. As long as you can eat it and don't waste it, you can eat as much as you want." Shen Yun said with a smile.

Fruits that can be exported are of excellent quality.

Although there is not much profit to be made from exporting watermelons, the purpose of exporting goods is not to be sold.

I export fruits, what's wrong with giving some to my friends in Japan?

"really?"

"Great!"

"Doc onboard!"

Hearing this, everyone cheered excitedly.

However, everyone was only excited for a moment before returning to their leisurely state.

"Speaking of summer, it must be about cooling off. Now that it's getting dark, how about we each tell a horror story?" Washio Matsu suggested as he looked at the setting sun that was about to disappear over the horizon.

"Nani Nani? What kind of game is this?" Tidom also became interested. He quickly sat up, looked at Washio Gake and asked.

"Well, this is a must-have summer activity to cool off. Although summer hasn't quite arrived yet, it's nice to play it in advance." The lion said with a smile.

"That's right. Besides this, there is also the summer test of courage competition." Ohkawa Sae said with a smile.

"Test of Courage?" Tidom looked at Ohkawa Sae again and asked puzzledly.

"To put it simply, it means going to a scary place to test your courage, such as a cemetery, an abandoned shrine, a deserted school, etc., and the organizers of the event will arrange the scene in advance and try their best to scare people." Samezu Kaido.

"It sounds interesting." Tidom was very interested, and his eyes showed an eagerness to try.

"Then who will go first?" asked Washio Yue.

"Me, me, me, I'll go first!" Ohkawa Sae raised his hand and said.

"Then let White start first, and the others will take over."

"Ahem. What I want to tell you is the weird story about an abandoned doll..." Ohkawa Sae cleared her throat and then vividly told the horror story she had made up.

However, this horror story made up by Ohkawa Sae contains a lot of weird stories.

It's basically a story about the resentment and revenge of a discarded doll.

After listening to the story told by Ohkawa Sae, everyone felt nothing.

It was the first time that Tidom heard such a strange story and he found it very interesting.

"White, this weird story you made up is too unoriginal, isn't it?" Washio Gaku complained.

"Huh, then what story can you tell, Yellow?" Ohkawa Sae puffed up his cheeks and said dissatisfiedly.

"What I want to talk about is the strange stories in the science department."

"What? Aren't you just as unoriginal as me?" Ohkawa Sae teased.

"Stop talking nonsense. I didn't say I could tell an original story," Washio Gaku said stubbornly.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing and let's listen to Yellow finish his story first." Shen Yun tried to smooth things over with a smile.

Washio Gaku also cleared his throat and told the strange stories about the science department that he had compiled.

The story is very clichéd. The human skeleton in the science room is not plastic but the skeleton of the wife who was murdered by the school principal. Because of the strong resentment before her death, she becomes able to move and seeks revenge on the murderer.

After Washio-gaku finished telling the story he had compiled, Shishizou immediately took over.

Soon, it was Shen Yun's turn to tell a horror story.

Shen Yun thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let me tell you a horror story that is popular in my hometown."

"Eh~ Is this the horror story circulating in the doctor's hometown?"

"I wonder if it's any different from the weird stories we have here?"

“I’m looking forward to it.”

Everyone looked at Shen Yun expectantly.

Shen Yun looked at the expectant expressions of the crowd and did not keep them in suspense. He narrated in a low voice: "This story happened in a middle school in the 90s. It is said that this middle school was once a mass grave before it was built..."

"Why is the school built on a mass grave?" Tidom asked, raising his hand.

"Good question." Shen Yun smiled and said, "It is said that the land price of the mass grave is cheap, and the students have strong yang energy, which can suppress the yin energy."

It is almost a unanimous view across the country that the school was originally a cemetery.

But to be honest, in the five thousand years of Chinese history, hasn’t China experienced enough turbulent times?

Is there any place in the entire Chinese land where dead bodies have not been buried?

Not to mention a school, even if it was a residential area a few hundred years ago, it might have been a mass grave.

"Oh~ I see." Tidom nodded and motioned Shen Yun to continue.

"It is precisely because this middle school is built on a mass grave that few students and teachers would hang out in the school until the evening."

“Although the school is bustling and noisy during the day, in the evening and at night, the school becomes lifeless and like a ghost town.”

"That day, the careless Xiao Ming left his homework at school. When he returned, the school was empty..."

Shen Yun vividly told the horror story he made up, and everyone was attracted by the story Shen Yun told.

When talking about some horrifying places, Tidom and Ohkawa Sae even let out a low cry of surprise.

However, Shen Yun had only told half of his story when a burst of urgent alarms suddenly sounded.

"It's the Orugu wave!" Tidom sat up from the recliner and said hurriedly.

Seeing this, Shen Yun immediately called up the virtual map and looked at the location on the map where the evil energy fluctuations came from. He said in surprise: "The location where the fluctuations came from seems to be in an elementary school!"

"Eh? S-school? Now?! No, that's not possible." Washio Gaku shuddered and exclaimed as he looked at the sky which had already turned completely dark.

Isn’t this exactly the scenario in the Doctor’s story?

"No, it can't be such a coincidence, right?" Niuda Sotaro swallowed and his face turned slightly pale.

"Why has it to be school?" Samezumi scratched his head, irritated.

The story told by Shen Yun echoed in his mind, and the image of an extremely gloomy school appeared before his eyes.

"Terrible!" Ohkawa Sae said.

"This is just a story I made up. Don't take it seriously. Just think of it as a test of courage." Shen Yun comforted.

"Test of Courage? I want to participate too!" Upon hearing this, Tidom's eyes showed some excitement and he was eager to try.

"..." Shen Yun looked at the somewhat excited Tidom, and hesitated to speak.

You are already very brave, there is no need to try again.

"What are you afraid of? It's just a fake story. Let's set off quickly." The lion did not show much fear, but instead urged.

"Let's go!" Tidom said excitedly.

Everyone walked quickly into Turtle Rock, and then rode on Turtle Rock to the place where the Orugu vibration came from.

……

Underground, the evil matrix.

Wen Luo took a file, picked up one of the parts from the pile on the table, and began to polish it carefully.

As he moved, bits of debris fell onto the table.

"Hmm~ It's perfect." Wen Luo looked at the parts that he had polished to perfection with a file and said with satisfaction.

Then, Wen Luo installed the polished parts on the black bat that had taken shape.

Just roughly making a doll could no longer satisfy him who pursued perfection and beauty.

Only when every part is polished to perfection and the assembled monster is completed, can he be truly satisfied.

"Lord Wen Luo, a new Orugu has appeared." Jiaojiao sensed the appearance of a new Orugu and hurriedly reported.

"I understand. Then you can just go and take a look. You can do whatever you want. Just don't disturb me." Wen Luo said nonchalantly.

His masterpiece was almost finished, it was just an Orugu, anything went well.

"Yes, Lord Wen Luo." Jiao Jiao bowed slightly, then glanced at the wolf ghost sitting in the corner with his eyes closed and asked, "Lord Wen Luo, can we take the wolf ghost with us?"

"No, now is not the time for the wolf ghost to take action." Wen Luo refused.

"Wagada." Upon hearing this, Jiaojiao did not force it and pulled Yabaiba out of the underground matrix.

……

Guishan Primary School.

Everyone walked out of Turtle Rock and looked at the elementary school which was empty in the night and so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. They immediately recalled the horror story told by Shen Yun.

"Hiss~ I never thought that school at night would be so scary." Washio Gaku looked at the elementary school in front of him that was shrouded in a layer of horror, and couldn't help rubbing the goose bumps on his arms and said.

"Is it scary? I think it's okay." The lion said curiously.

"Let's split up and look for it." Shen Yun suggested.

"Eh~ Do we have to split up? Whether it's in a horror story or a horror movie, once we act separately, we'll be easiest to be defeated one by one." Samezu Kai said hurriedly.

"You also said that it was a story and a movie. Two people should go in groups to look for it, and they can take care of each other." Shen Yun complained.

If he had known this earlier, he would not have told horror stories about school, but would have told weird stories about rules.

"Doctor, I'll go with you." Ohkawa Sae quickly hugged Shen Yun's arm.

"Count me in, count me in." Tidom said excitedly.

After discussing at the primary school gate, the group split into three groups and went into different teaching buildings. (End of this chapter)
