Chapter 72
A ghost story set in a school.
It's a concept with ancient roots, passed down over generations. When hundreds of teenagers are confined to a single building for hours on end, it's only natural that eerie rumors, strange rituals, or ghost stories start circulating. The Seven Wonders, Bunshinsaba rituals...
Of course, having gone through school myself, I always thought those were pretty entertaining.
Isn't it a classic, widely appealing horror narrative?
'That's why I was bold enough to contribute to the exploration records for the first time.'
Luckily, my entry didn't get bombarded with 'Not Recommended' votes, and it stayed up. Encouraged by that, I even ended up crafting and posting an entirely original ghost story...

'I'm... actually going in there?'
The idea gave me a strange feeling.
Sure, hearing about entering a ghost story was chilling enough to make my spine tingle, but there was also this odd queasiness.
It wasn't like the unease you feel holding a company manual. It was...
Anticipation? Fear?
