After turning a corner, the child and the cat were gone, and only the sound of the child running echoed in the hotel.

Several people did not feel suspicious and continued along the corridor. After a few steps, they saw a fork in the road. There were no children on the road for several days. At this time, no one was worried. Even the Shimada family members felt guilty and felt that they had disturbed the crew's work.

"Nothing. Find the child first."

"We can do it ourselves. He can't go anywhere."

"Just don't go to your shooting scene. I'm so sorry."

"Then let's look for it separately."

The crowds scattered.

Instead of making noise, they shouted the child's name in a low voice.

"Big Tree Kid."

"Shida Daki."

"Look at the room here."

The people who were traveling with Honda opened the paper door at hand.

He walked in and looked at it, and Honda stood at the door.

"No one. Really, where did you go."

The two of them continued to move forward and then they reached the fork in the road.

"I'll go here."

"OK."

At this time, Honda was finally left alone.

I'm even more alert.

Things are going to happen, that's now.

"Oshiki Jun. Dashishimada Dashi. Your mother is looking for you." Honda shouted softly.

There was only his voice in the corridor, his footsteps, and the creaking sound of the wooden floors.

"Big Tree Lord..." Honda gradually walked to the bathroom in front of the large hot spring pool.

There seemed to be a sound of water in the bathroom.

Honda stopped and listened with his ears. The sound came from the men's bathroom.

"Is anyone? Big Tree Lord?" Honda lifted the curtain, walked in, and opened the sliding door inside.

There was no one in the dressing room.

I floated into the bathroom first.

There was no one in the bathroom.

A faucet leaked, and the water droplets ticked on the tiles.

I smelled the earthy smell again, with the smell of grass and another strange smell that I couldn't explain clearly.

"Big Tree Lord?" Honda changed his shoes, walked into the bathroom, and continued walking in.

I'm one step faster than Honda again.

The hot air from the hot spring came to my face, and the strange smell even more sensation.

I took a step back and had a look at Honda who came in.

Honda hesitated and walked towards the hot spring pool, "No way..."

He looked at it, and it seemed that he didn't notice anything unusual.

A rustling sound came from the side of the hot spring pool.

"Who? Big Tree Lord?" Honda turned his head.

The white cat rushed out of the small bushes beside him, rubbed Honda's feet, and ran indoors.

"Ah!" Honda was startled and fell backwards.

The ground was slippery, and Honda didn't stand firmly, and he fell into the hot spring pool with a thud.

I was still staring at the cat and subconsciously stretched out my hand.

I failed to catch the cat.

The cat didn't stop, and ran directly through the bathroom, through the dressing room, and ran away without a trace.

I turned around and looked.

Honda slammed in the hot spring pool for a few times and stood up.

He wiped a handful of wet hair and face.

"It's really..." Honda didn't rush to come out and looked around.

The cat is here, but Shimada Daki is gone.

Honda was a little uneasy, and when he thought of the sound of water he heard, he shouted twice. He hesitated for a while, lowered his head to dive, and went to see what was going on in the pool.

It was already dark and there were no lights here. The light from the bathroom was shining, but it could not illuminate the entire hot spring pool.

I followed it into the water and found no abnormalities.

I floated out immediately.

Sure enough, the one that emits a strange smell is the hot spring pool water.

Honda seemed to have no idea, stood up, changed his breath, and dived down to grop for a while.

It was only after confirming that the child had not fallen into the water that he crawled out of the pond.

He is not dead.

He walked out of the hot spring step by step, got a clean towel when he arrived at the dressing room, then returned to the bathroom to take off his wet clothes, and took a handful of them. He wiped his body clean, changed into the bathrobe prepared in the dressing room, and walked out with his clothes in his hand.

"Honda, what happened?"

The man who had just walked over with Honda came over.

"I fell into the hot spring. The cat just ran out of it. I didn't see the child."

"It's really...you go and change your clothes. I'll go to another place to check it out. Maybe someone has found it."

Honda nodded.

He was about to leave, but he heard the sound of water again.

The sound of clamor, as if there were, as if there were nothing.

Honda stopped.

The man had already walked through the fork in the road and turned to another road. He disappeared, and even the sound of footsteps was gone.

Honda took a look.

Crash.

It's the sound of water again.

Honda just thought for a while before approaching the women's bathroom and asked carefully: "Is anyone?"

No one answered.

He lifted the curtain and said, "I'm upset. Sorry, is anyone there? I'm in."

Walking into the locker room, Honda still didn't see anyone, but the sound of water became clearer.

I still entered the bathroom and hot springs before Honda.

The bathroom was empty, and beside the hot spring pool, the cat was lying on the rock, lifting the pool water with his claws.

Its green eyes stared at me.

I thought I was seen, but I found out in a flash that it was looking at the door.

Honda lowered his head and opened the sliding door.

"Announcing. Is anyone?"

The cat stopped, turned over, and hid behind the stone.

Honda did not see the cat.

I became confused.

The cat has no yin energy, but it is very abnormal. Is it that ghost? No, I saw the ghost's hand in my dream. It is not this cat.

I searched around, but still couldn't find any trace of the ghost.

Honda approached the hot spring pool, "Big Tree Lord?" He reached out and flipped the water in the pool, and did not go down directly.

After another hesitation, Honda took off his yukata and jumped out of the hot spring.
