Yuki-onna: The Japanese Legend of the Snow Maiden

  Now they can also condense their own bodies in reality, but the time is extremely short, only about three minutes.

  However, they were already very satisfied because when they wanted Huang Tianxuan, he could enter the Dark Source Pearl and condense his body to entwine with them.

  It was still early in the morning before dawn broke, when a loud knock on the door of room 7022 rang out. It was Deng Sen, accompanied by the security captain and several police officers.

  Originally last night, after Huang Tianxuan entered the room, they were still observing from outside, but there was no movement for a long time.

  After a while, there came from inside a woman's terrified screams, and later the kind of soul-stirring sounds that women make when they're doing something. But these sounds were too terrifying, so he didn't dare call anyone to come see.

  However, later all the sounds stopped, and there was no more movement. They still didn't dare to open the door to see what happened, but instead chose to report this incident to the police officer in charge of their hotel case at that time.

  The police were shocked, wasn't this obviously sending someone to their death? Although they also didn't know what reason had led to the deaths of those three male guests before, they knew that there must be something unknown in this room.

  They hastily rushed over and called Deng Sen and the security captain, bringing several security guards to knock on the door of room 7022.

  After knocking for a while, it seemed that there was no movement inside. Deng Sen immediately panicked in his heart. He clearly knew that this room couldn't be inhabited by people, but he had believed the words of that person surnamed Huang and let him collect whatever ghost. Now look at what's happened, another life has been lost, and his own position is probably untenable.

  "Let's just burst in and take a look, who knows what might happen?"

  The officer in charge reluctantly nodded and told Deng Sen that he had no choice but to prepare the security team leader to break down the door.

  But just then, there came two soft clicks from the door, and to everyone's surprise, the door was opened from inside. Huang Tianxuan, wearing a nightgown, stood at the entrance with sleepy eyes, staring at them.

  "It's still dark outside, what are you doing coming to knock on the door so early?"

  "Ah, Mr. Huang, we were worried about your safety, are you alright?" Deng Sen hastily asked.

  "What's going on? Look at me, I'm fine. Alright, since you've already woken me up, I won't sleep anymore. You all come in, I know you have a lot of questions."

  The crowd pushed and squeezed their way in, slowly walking inside and looking around the room with curiosity, but didn't find anything.

  Huang Tianxuan put on his clothes after a few attempts, and then sat down at the edge of the bed, looking at their faces with different expressions, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

  "Alright, what questions do you have? Go ahead and ask."

  "Mr. Huang, we all want to know what's really going on in this room and if there's something unclean here."

  "Not bad."

  "What exactly is it?" a policeman asked somewhat incredulously.

  "How about it, do you want to see it? If you do, I can take it out and let you have a look."

  "It's all right, it's all right." The crowd said in unison.

  "Can we really know what it is? No other meaning, just pure curiosity." Deng Sen said sincerely.

  "Alright. I'll ask a few questions first, you have someone check, in the days before the first guest died, wasn't there a Japanese guest who stayed in this room?"

  "Good." Dengson hastily called the front desk, asking the staff on duty to check, and then he nodded, "Indeed, three days before that, a male guest from Japan had stayed. What's going on, is it related to him?"

  "Ask the staff responsible for cleaning this room again, did they find any changes or differences in this room at that time?" Huang Tianxuan nodded and asked.

  It just so happened that the cleaning staff on duty that day was also among the many employees who had rushed over to watch the commotion. After hearing Huang Tianxuan's words, she immediately stood up and said: "After that Japanese man left the hotel, I was in charge of cleaning this room. My impression is very clear, it was the first day I came back to work after taking a few days off. I found an extra painting on the wall in the bathroom, which was not there before. At the time, I thought it was installed during the new decoration, so I didn't ask anyone else. Others did not find anything either."

  "So what do you remember about that painting?"

  The painting depicts a naked young woman bathing.

  "Do you still remember where the painting is?"

  "On the wall to the left, at a height of about one person." The janitor said as he led others to point out the painting.

  "Ah, what's going on? The painting on the wall is gone!" She rushed out in a panic and said to Deng Sen, "Manager, I'm not talking nonsense. Later, I cleaned this room several times, and each time I found that there was a painting. How come it's gone now?"

  "It's okay, don't be afraid. The painting was still there before today, but it disappeared last night." Huang Tianxuan said calmly.

  "What's going on here? Is it that painting that killed people?" someone asked from the side.

  "The deaths of those three guests are indeed related to this painting, but before that, let me tell you a story."

  "In Japan, just like in our country, there are many ghost stories. Among the most famous is called Hyakki, which has been a legendary story for many years. In this Hyakki, there was a young female ghost who died after being raped while taking a bath, so her spirit did not disperse and lingered in some bathhouses, specifically luring single men to ** with her, then absorbing their vitality and life force in the process. This made her ghost stronger, while the men she absorbed vitality from would die. Later, she was captured by some Japanese practitioners of magic and became someone's shikigami, equivalent to what we call a pet. After that, there was no news of her, but unexpectedly, after more than a hundred years, she appeared here, with someone controlling her from behind, only now this person cannot be found."

  "So it's true, those legendary ghosts and monsters really exist."

  Many people sighed, but it was clear that many did not believe him and thought he was just making up a story. However, since then, when guests stayed in room 7022 again, there really were no more accidents, which made many people in the hotel believe Huang Tianxuan's words.
