Chapter 107: 106. Strange Talk Game_1 Chapter 107: 106. Strange Talk Game_1 “One Hundred Poets? What kind of game is that?”

Lu Ban glanced at Tachibana Masamune.

He still appeared human on the surface, but the areas where his two eyes should be were not human; they were composed of countless smaller eyes, like the compound eyes of an insect. Looking at Tachibana Masamune’s eye sockets made one feel a newfound revulsion.

Red Leaf was startled and stood still.

Without making a fuss, Lu Ban pulled her down to sit beside him.

“One Hundred Poets is a horror game popular on Harmony Island. Each player stands in a corner of a pitch-black room, holding a candle. Then, starting with the first person, they blow out the candle, close their eyes, and walk along the wall to the next person, chanting a poem as they go. Then they lightly tap the person’s shoulder, signaling them to pass the candle flame to you. After that, the second person blows out their candle and continues to walk, just like the first person did.”

The numerous eyes of Tachibana Masamune looked at Lu Ban and Red Leaf. Lu Ban felt a momentary tension from Red Leaf beside him, but she quickly adjusted.

According to Red Leaf, the more you understand certain things, the more knowledge you acquire, the less likely you are to be affected by obstacles.

Before, Lu Ban and Red Leaf were at least looking at a human Tachibana Masamune. Now, after the events at the He Island Shrine, they seemed to have gained a deeper understanding of this world, so they were seeing more.

Thinking this way, did the Shrine Maiden presiding over the Great Shrine of Harmony Island have knowledge beyond that of ordinary people? And was the world as she saw it even more terrifying?

“Does this game have any secrets?”

Lu Ban asked casually.

The game seemed somewhat familiar to him, but the version he knew was more rudimentary. Given that the island itself contained supernatural elements, he wondered if these games had any special effects.

“Well, it’s said that if the poem chanted is correct, it might attract spirits. What was originally a game for four players will end with an incessant chanting of poems, while the candles remain lit in all four corners.”
