1424 In Modern Day 22 (1/2)
Did someone enter my room?
Or rather, is it a paranormal incident?
Erm, there's a ghost following me. It's normal to have paranormal incidents…
In that second, countless thoughts flash through my mind.
At the same time, I see a monster drawn on the page of the open notebook.
The monster is humanoid, but it's made of tiny squirming worms.
This sounds very bizarre and terrifying, but in reality, it feels nothing of the sort. This is because this drawing is very simple and crude. It resembles the random scribbling of a kindergarten child.
No way? Some brat entered my room? A relative of one of my flatmates? As I think about it, I pick up my notebook and flip through it quickly, searching for other traces.
After flipping through two pages, I see lines of text:
”My drawing expertise is really bad.
”The main problem isn't me. I was once called a master artist.
”War is art! War is aesthetics!
”It's like I've had a dream that I often had. The dream is filled with such strange languages.
”I'm such a decadent fellow!
”We really are women!”
…
These lines of text weren't that difficult to read, but the things written down look very chaotic. It gives me a headache as I instinctively stop reading and close the notebook.
There's a problem with this!
This is like an incantation for dark magic!
I've experienced quite a few things in the past two days. I barely managed to calm myself down as I cast my gaze towards the window.
On the glass window, the blonde female ghost that looks like she's cosplaying appears.
”Do you know who did it?” I ask in a suppressed voice.
”It was done by an evil spirit,” the female ghost replies with an ethereal voice.
Evil spirit sounds more advanced than some spirit or poltergeist… As a modern youth who has played many foreign games and watched some foreign television series, I think the name sounds pretty cool.
”Er… Is an evil spirit more powerful?” I ask after some deliberation.
The female ghost nods her head in agreement.
”Will this be more troublesome?” I think of asking Madam Daly to exorcise the ghosts again, but I'm also worried that she won't be able to deal with ghosts at the level of evil spirits.
”I'm also an evil spirit,” the female ghost says simply.
”…Okay.” I don't know how to respond.
”W-what's that evil spirit's intention behind scrawling in my notebook?” It takes me a few seconds to recall the main purpose of my question.
The female ghost shakes her head.
”I don't know.”
”…” I open my mouth and change the topic. ”How should I address you?”
