In The Clutches Of The Vengeful Spirit (Text Only)
A horrific reveal
The bound and gagged Mizuki now remembers what had occurred before she was assaulted.
Mizuki tries to struggle against her bonds.
Mizuki Kuba
Mmmrrrrppphhh!!!!
She tries everything she can think of.
She tries to press her arms against the duct tape binding them together with her torso, and the chair.
Mizuki tries to stretch and turn her wrists.
She tries to extend her knees, working hard against the duct tape binding her ankles to the chair's legs.
But so far, nothing really happens, and Mizuki has to pause for a moment.
Mizuki Kuba
<It's no use!>
Mizuki Kuba
<If only I can move the chair...>
Suddenly, the radio on the table turns on automatically.
Mizuki Kuba
<Did that radio just turn on by itself?>
Mizuki can hear static voices coming from the radio.
Mizuki Kuba
<What is going on?>
Mizuki Kuba
<Are you there?>
Mizuki tries to utter words through her gag.
She tried to call Aimi and Courtney, because she thought that they had entered the house.
But so far, Mizuki could only make unintelligible sounds.
Suddenly, the radio switches from having static noises to the voice of a young woman.
Could the speaker be the victim's assailant?
???
You are so beautiful...
Mizuki is now really frightened.
Mizuki Kuba
Hmrrhmhm hrrmm mm!
???
I would have asked you to stop struggling because it's useless.
???
But you're so darn cute when you do that.
Mizuki is now very confused.
She remembers that the voice had told her that she's beautiful.
But now, the voice is also saying that the victim looks cute when she struggles against her bonds!
Mizuki Kuba
<What is this?!>
Mizuki Kuba
<Is this some kind of prank?>
The victim tries to look around in the dark.
She can only see the table with the turned-on radio on top, by the door.
Mizuki Kuba
<I can't see any cameras in front of me.>
Mizuki tries one more time to struggle against all of her bonds simultaneously.
Mizuki Kuba
Crrrmm rrrnnn!
She takes another break after her failed attempt to get free.
Her eyes begin to fill with tears as she begins to feel despair.
The victim's assailant seems to notice her reaction.
???
You're feeling it, don't you?
???
The feeling of hopelessness.
???
The feeling that you're abandoned and that no one will ever find you here.
???
You're probably thinking of your friends Aimi and Courtney at this moment.
Mizuki freezes in horror when she hears the names of her friends.
Mizuki Kuba
<How does she know about them?>
Mizuki Kuba
<Have we been watched during our investigation all this time?!>
She had believed that she and her friends had been one step before the killer.
Now it turns out it's the complete opposite!
???
You may think they're coming to this house and will rescue you.
???
My dear beautiful friend...
???
I've already dealt with them!
Mizuki immediately starts crying and sobs behind her gag.
Mizuki Kuba
<Aimi, Courtney...>
Mizuki Kuba
<I'm sorry...>
Mizuki Kuba
<I'm so, so, sorry!>
Mizuki Kuba
<This is all my fault!>
Mizuki Kuba
<If I had known that we were being watched, I wouldn't...>
Mizuki Kuba
<Now you're all dead because of me!>
The radio is still turned on, but is now silent.
It seems the speaker is a bit confused by her victim's weeping.
???
You're not crying for yourself.
???
...Think I've killed them?
Mizuki Kuba
<What is she babbling about?>
Mizuki Kuba
<Of course she has killed them!>
Mizuki Kuba
<Why would the attacker state otherwise?>
The radio turns immediately off.
Suddenly, clouds of black smoke begin to appear in front of the table with the radio.
When the smoke clears, the victim is looking at a ghostly apparition of a woman.
The woman, who looks like she could be in her twenties, has long black hair, a pale face with a scar across her left cheek, and eyes black as night.
The eyes have purple pupils, glowing in the dark, which makes the woman look frightening.
If it weren't for those black, ominous eyes and the pale face with the scar, the woman would have been an attractive person.
Mizuki's eyes widen in fear.
The woman, who is wearing a long white dress, quickly hurries to her bound victim, and covers the part of the duct tape covering Mizuki's mouth with her right hand.
The bound victim feels the coldness of the woman's hand through her gag.
Mizuki Kuba
<What the heck?!>
???
I just want you to calm down.
Mizuki tries to shout at the woman in anger, but the gag still muffles her voice.
Mizuki Kuba
Mhr hhm hmmck mm mrr hhnnck mrr rrm, mmr mrnhmr!
???
Did you just call me a monster, "Mizuki-chan"?
Mizuki Kuba
<Yep, we've definitely been watched by this...>
She finally realises that the woman isn't human at all.
Mizuki Kuba
<We've been dealing with a ghost this WHOLE time?>
The woman removes her hand from the duct tape at the lower part of Mizuki's head.
The ghost is silent for a while, staring at her victim.
But she doesn't look at Mizuki with a devilish grin, mocking its victim.
Instead, Mizuki can see that the ghost looks at her tenderly, like an older sister watching her beloved younger sister.
???
Mizuki, your friends are fine.
???
At least for now until I change my mind.
???
I've sent them a text message, asking them not to come here yet.
Mizuki continues to cry, but this time it's tears of joy.
The pale woman continues to observe her victim with increased interest.
???
I sense you have many questions.
Mizuki doesn't know what to think anymore.
She's in this seemingly abandoned house during the night, bound and gagged in a room with a flickering light, together with the suspected killer who turns out to be a ghost.
Can Mizuki's night get even stranger than this?
