Chapter 007 Ding, Ling, Ling

After all, Yuko, who listens to strange tales, was truly frightened by the strange tales she herself recounted

Yet the brightness emitted by this television screen is not warm, but rather carries a sense of coldness.

The story continues

On the excessively clean manuscript paper is such a scene

There are no television stations on that channel in Kiyozu Island, so nothing should have been recorded. However, when he played the tape at home, a woman appeared on the channel, raising her hand

The guesthouse is quite old, made of wood, and is covered with withered ivy. Surrounding the guesthouse are lush, dense woods that exude a chilling atmosphere.

With the presence of light, the human eye will instinctively pursue brightness

As she could not stop laughing, her friend Tomoko Asakawa's expression grew increasingly worse

Bang

This painting skill ... ...

The speed at which her complexion changed was as if someone had suddenly torn off Tomoko Asakawa's face along with its skin, leaving it bloodied and raw

She looked at Yuko's expression, her gaze rising and falling. After a long while, she finally managed a forced and awkward smile: "You just want to scare me, don't you, Yuko"

It is as if one has become addicted

The background is black

Above is exactly the expression of Tomoko Asakawa, who was stunned in place by Chiko's fright

Hmm. The videotape horror story. Tomoko nodded, "A high school boy goes on vacation to Izu Island with his family, and they stay in an old-fashioned guesthouse."

"Everyone else has heard this story, and everyone is very scared." Tomoko Asakawa turned her head, unable to smile at all: "Today marks one week."

However, thinking like this to scare the editor... this is still too naive

The long black hair began to sway, the red lips twisted, and a smile spread wide! It was indescribably terrifying! The black eyes emitted black 'ink'.

It is as if a cool palm glides down the nape of the neck, sending a chill to the depths of one's heart

The wise one in the story was also taken aback

Yuko got off the chair and sat on the carpet with Tomoko: "That night, Iwato-kun discovered a strange box of videotapes, and we all watched them once."

Koharu Hosokawa turned to the first page of the manuscript of "The Ring"

However, I still want to continue reading

It rang

Koharu Hosokawa felt a chill run down her spine

Originally, Yuko intended to convey her message to Tomoko with a light-hearted smile, but by the end, Yuko's smile had vanished.

However, today was somewhat different; her expression suddenly darkened, appearing a bit gloomy and fearful

Silence

Koharu Hosokawa turned to the next page

She simply stared blankly and murmured, "How terrifying," and then fell silent.

The room was devoid of any sound

It is as if there is something unseeable watching one from the shadows

Koharu Hosokawa was contemplating in her heart, yet her hands turned to the next page, officially beginning the review of the plot

The story begins with an occurrence between Tomoko Asakawa and her friend Tomoko.

She is truly afraid of receiving a call notifying her of death seven days later

From the background, this should be a Japanese-style small room

Afraid, yet still want to see

I was truly startled

Koharu Hosokawa's facial muscles have stiffened, and her face is covered in cold sweat

It seems that the author of "The Ring" has some substance, and is not just a half-baked individual. No wonder they dare to write such grand statements as "history of heart disease and epilepsy"

The cover of The Ring at Midnight

Yes

What does this ... ... leave a date mean

September 5, Sunday

She looked at the manuscript in her hand with disbelief

Zhizi summarized this strange tale, appearing quite satisfied with Yuko's reaction

With a gloomy expression, Yuko suddenly smiled brightly, playfully punching Tomoko's shoulder: "How did you guess?"

Yuko is aware that Tomoko has a particular fondness for urban legends, and usually, Yuko will join in the fun with Tomoko.

The more one fears, the more one wants to look down

The once smiling Zhizi could no longer laugh out loud

Koharu Hosokawa's fingers trembled as she scrolled down

Koharu Hosokawa is somewhat unclear

rumbling

The high school boy wanted to go out to play, but he was also reluctant to miss the program he wanted to watch. "Therefore, he planned to record the program with a video recorder while he was out playing," continued Chiko, looking at Hosokawa Koharu with excitement. "However..."

Hoo ... ...

Her gaze was fixed on the table, seemingly lost in thought: "I only remember that as soon as the video finished playing, the phone rang, but there was no one on the other end."

This cover is quite exquisite, and the color scheme is also well-considered. The artistic ability of this author should be considerable

The relatively relaxed atmosphere, combined with the vivid artistry of the author of "Ring" in bringing the characters to life, made Hikokawa Koharu unable to suppress a smile.

Zhi Zi shrugged her shoulders

She looked at Asakawa Tomoko and after a long while, uncertainly asked: "Tomoko... I remember you went on a trip to Izu Island with Yato-kun and the others last week, right?"

As soon as this sentence was uttered, Hosokawa Koharu, who originally thought there was still a week of grace period, felt a shadow creeping up her back, and goosebumps rose all over her body

This fear feels as if it is about to squeeze the heart out

Even the previously anxious Kobayashi Koharu let out a sigh of relief

In the late night, two female high school students, around fifteen or sixteen years old and in the throes of adolescence, are entwined together on the bed, occasionally exchanging risqué jokes with each other

The two individuals began to playfully bicker once again

Indeed, Yuko was just making a joke

Telephone

With this question in mind, she continued to look down.

At this moment, Zhizi suddenly thought of something

The sense of immersion is rather overwhelming, isn't it

Later, the boy received a phone call. The content of the call was just one sentence: "Did you see it?" A week later, the boy died

An indescribable sense of fear surged within Hosokawa Koharu, causing her to clumsily tumble off her office chair. Following this, Tomoko's figure was slowly drawn back into the comic, becoming completely elusive.

The darkness outside weighs down, seemingly symbolizing some ominous omen

The sense of terror vanished in an instant, as if nothing had ever existed, and even the lights seemed to brighten a little.

However, it instantly lifted the originally relaxed mood of Hosokawa Koharu.

The composition on this page is very simple

Ding ding ding

Typically, the first page of a comic serves as the cover of the comic itself, and the skill in creating the cover can also reflect the author's artistic proficiency.

But soon, the long-haired Zhizi turned her head, as if she had just remembered something, and spoke up

The image of the comic is being pulled... and has become three-dimensional.

You will die within a week

The other party's voice and expressions are particularly vivid, as if one could reach out and touch them

Koharu Hosokawa felt as if she had become the Yuko in the story

In the cold and dim room, only the television with a snowflake screen emitted a bright glow

Pale fingers! Suddenly raised!

Just as if she were about to poke Kobayashi Koharu's face, Tomoko's expression also began to twist

Koharu Hosokawa felt a chill run down her spine and silently nodded in agreement

Speaking of which, have you heard about the recent urban legend concerning a videotape

With a heavy expression, Tomoko revealed an incredulous look, and after a while, she playfully patted Yuko's shoulder, saying, "Unbelievable, you guy—"

The atmosphere has become tense

In a small box at the top of the original manuscript, there is a date noted as follows

In the dim, damp, and cold Japanese-style room, a television flickers with static...

It seems as if even the air has solidified

A crisp sound!

The next moment

It did not take long for her to notice that something was amiss

"VHS Horror Stories?" Asakawa Tomoko, who was originally tangled up with Tomoko, was taken aback.

Zhizi looked at the stunned Asakawa Tomoko with some delight

When Hosokawa Koharu came to her senses again, she found Tomoko sitting in front of her, looking very excited.

The cold expression of Tomoko Asakawa in this panel forms a stark contrast with her cheerful smile in the previous panel

Silence
