037. Spooky Abandoned House Exploration
Some of the viewers didn't believe me.
They apparently thought my claim about seeing the Gomdori doll was just a lie to make the content more entertaining.
They didn't openly post suspicious messages in chat, but,
【Reformed Guburi】─yeah u rly expect me to believe u saw the Gomdori ghost? lolol
【Hottie Licker】─lol not suspicious at all. whatever Se-hun says is true. lick.
【Reverse-Rape Maniac】─fr tho just type lol and move on.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya! A ghost-possessed Gomdori! That's scary as fuck!
It was that kind of thing.
They were posting sarcastic messages.
Fucking bitches.
I actually saw it, so their disbelief annoyed me a little.
So I decided to prove it.
By finding the Gomdori doll missing one eye, no matter what.
***
I found it more easily than expected.
Under a worn-out bed.
The Gomdori doll was hiding, its body curled up as tightly as possible.
It was definitely the doll I'd seen at the top of the stairs.
"Fuck, found it."
I reached under the bed, grabbed the Gomdori doll, and pulled it out.
Then I showed it to the camera with a triumphant air.
"You guys believe me now? I told you there was a Gomdori doll."
【Reverse-Rape Maniac】─whoa it was actually there.
【Qkrnfl892】─whoa whoa whoa
To be honest, I hadn't completely believed it myself.
Just like the viewers said.
Had I really just seen things?
Those doubts had been creeping in a little.
But not anymore.
Now that I'd confirmed Gomdori's existence with my own two eyes.
"You assholes kept doubting me so much, you practically gaslit me into thinking I imagined it, fuck."
【Yoho】─I didn't doubt you.
【Min-ji】─Me neither... heh.
"Bullshit... Well, anyway, ghosts are real after all. I've confirmed it directly, so there's no more room for doubt. And Plum Blossom, this is that possession-type yokai or whatever, right?"
【Plum Tree】─Could be? I dunno.
【Reformed Guburi】─lolol Gye Bastard-hun actually prepped his content pretty thoroughly. you totally hid the doll here in advance yesterday, you fuck.
"Hid it my ass? I didn't even come here yesterday, you crazy bitch."
【Reformed Guburi】─lol okay I'll believe you~
【Hottie Licker】─fr lol we believe you.
"Seriously, you bastards still don't believe me even after seeing it?"
【Qkrnfl892】─It's not the doll's existence they don't believe, it's the part about it moving by itself, right?
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya! Make Gomdori move right now then!
The idiots still hadn't dropped their suspicions.
I considered banning them but barely held back.
"Ha... I should've caught that on camera just now."
【Yoho】─What scene?
"This Gomdori had its eyes closed at first, but when I kept staring at it, it slowly opened them."
【Reformed Guburi】─pffthahaha
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapfft lmao the doll even blinked!!!
【Min-ji】─That seems like a bit of a stretch...
【Hottie Licker】─do u seriously think we're morons? lolol
【Dick Lover】─aren't u tho?
【Reformed Guburi】─Gye Bastard-hun. then tell it to close its eyes again. lololol
"You think it'll do it just because I tell it to?"
【Reformed Guburi】─lolol Gye Bastard-hun's freaking out cause his lie's about to get busted? if ur not lying then make it do it~
"...Hey, Gomdori. Close your eyes again."
［······.］
No answer came.
Gomdori was still playing dead.
"Stop pretending to be dead. At least answer me, fuck. I know you can talk."
【Reformed Guburi】─??? wtf? this doesn't seem like acting anymore? is Gye Bastard-hun sick? did he have a mental illness or something?
【Yoho】─Host...
【Qkrnfl892】─Isn't this a case of Se-hun being possessed by a ghost instead of the teddy bear?
【Hottie Licker】─fr lol he suddenly went crazy. 'i know u can talk!' wtf
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya. his acting suddenly improved!
【Reverse-Rape Maniac】─He could be an actor. It was awkward at first, but now I see talent.
"...Plum Blossom. You'd know if you saw it, right? This little shit's a yokai, isn't it?"
I asked, shoving the Gomdori doll closer to the camera.
【Plum Tree】─Can't tell just through the screen.
【Reformed Guburi】─Wakyapya! It was such a stretch that even the self-proclaimed exorcist bailed on him!
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya. don't copy my bit.
【Reformed Guburi】─Shut your hole.
【Plum Tree】─But it could actually be a doll possessed by a yokai, so just rip it up and kill it right now to be safe.
"Rip it up and kill it?"
［Eek!］
"...Huh?"
I definitely heard it this time.
A sound clearly came from the Gomdori doll.
"Guys, you heard that right? I told you this little shit can talk. Fucking bitches never listen."
【Min-ji】─??
【Yoho】─Whoa.
【Reformed Guburi】─??? wait I actually did hear something? wtf?
【Hottie Licker】─Isn't that ventriloquism?
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya! Se-hun's great at ventriloquism too!
"Still a bunch of dog-like bitches who don't believe me. Fine, just don't believe me."
【Plum Tree】─Sounded like a yokai voice. Kill it, Se-hun.
"Why does this bitch keep telling me to kill it."
After checking Plum Blossom's message telling me to kill it.
I gazed intently at the Gomdori doll.
Maybe it was just my imagination.
But the doll felt like it was trembling.
"······."
I hesitated for a moment.
Was killing it the right thing to do?
It didn't seem like a yokai that harmed people, so did I really need to take its life?
"...Forget it. I'll hold off on killing it for now."
【Plum Tree】─??
"This Gomdori is one of those harmless yokai you talked about. We don't have to kill it, right?"
【Plum Tree】─Hm. Suit yourself. I'm the type to kill even harmless yokai on sight, so that's why I said to just kill it.
If it were a dangerous yokai, that'd be another story.
But I just couldn't bring myself to kill a fragile thing like this Gomdori.
I was human enough to feel a bit of compassion sometimes.
【Reformed Guburi】─wait fuck! is that thing really a ghost? i mean, a yokai? that's insane! i've never seen anything like it!
【Hottie Licker】─Guburi's so naive. lick.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya. isn't that just being stupid, not naive?
【Qkrnfl892】─lolol I told you ghosts are real, why don't you bastards believe it?
【Min-ji】─A lot of people don't believe things unless they see them for themselves.
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Like idiots who believe the earth is flat because they've never seen it from space?
【BigGirl】─That seems like an overly extreme analogy...
【Plum Tree】─Even when you show them the truth, they blindly deny it and cling to their weird beliefs. It's the same thing.
【Dick Lover】─Do people who actually believe in a flat earth exist?
【Drift AI】─I will say it. I say the earth is round.
【Yoho】─We know.
【Reverse-Rape Maniac】─The earth is round? What a stupid AI. lolol
【Yoho】─?
"Looks like Guburi finally believes me a bit."
【Reformed Guburi】─yeah I clearly heard the sound! It's fucking crazy. Gye Bastard-hun can't you just smack that doll's head really hard? let's see if it feels pain!
"Shut up, you crazy bitch... Anyway, does anyone know which room the box with a needle and thread was in? I vaguely remember seeing it while wandering around."
【Yoho】─Why do you need a needle and thread?
"I need to do something."
［······.］
"Nobody knows? You bastards have the memory of a goldfish."
【Hottie Licker】─You don't remember either. So does that make you a goldfish?
『User 'Hottie Licker' has been chat restricted. Remaining time 00:01:00』
【Reformed Guburi】─whoa. what exactly is Gye Bastard-hun's standard for muting chat? I still can't figure it out.
"I'll have to go out and look for it."
I tucked the Gomdori doll into my arms and stood up.
Then I left the room.
***
I retraced my steps and searched the rooms I'd passed through, one by one.
‘I definitely saw a storage box with a needle and thread earlier... Was it this room?’
There was one reason I was looking for a needle and thread.
To fix the teddy bear's eye.
My reason for wanting to fix it wasn't much either.
It just looked pitiful with only one eye.
That was all.
【Reformed Guburi】─but Gye Bastard-hun's been running around super energetically for a while now. did he get some kind of inspection or what?
【Hottie Licker】─fr lol is this really an abandoned house exploration? anyone watching would think he came to hunt ghosts.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya. this is different from the abandoned house explorations I know.
【Reverse-Rape Maniac】─he doesn't hesitate at all when opening doors lol earlier he kicked one open.
【Qkrnfl892】─Even the ghosts that were here are probably all running away.
【Min-ji】─Usually, streamers who do this kind of content explore carefully while acting scared...
【Dick Lover】─Se-hun doesn't do any of that.
【Se-hun Defense Force】─This isn't an abandoned house exploration, it's more like a search raid.
【BigGirl】─Abandoned house seizure and search. whoa.
"Ah. Found it. It was over there."
I finally spotted it.
On a table I assumed was a vanity.
A storage box with its lid open came into view.
It was the box containing the needle and thread.
【Reformed Guburi】─But why do you need that? Can't you just tell us the reason now? You keep ignoring me.
"Huh? Didn't I tell you earlier?"
【Reformed Guburi】─You chat muted me so I'd stop asking, you fuck!
"Ah."
【Reformed Guburi】─'Ah' my ass, wanna die?
I took the needle and thread out of the storage box.
They were still in usable condition.
【Reformed Guburi】─Quit ignoring me and tell me the reason!
"Huh?"
【Reformed Guburi】─You son of a bitch...
"Oh, right. You asked me why, didn't you? I'm just going to sew a new eye onto Gomdori."
【Reformed Guburi】─heh I see. Sex.
【Yoho】─But why its eye?
【Plum Tree】─Why bother?
【Se-hun Defense Force】─What's the point of sewing that on? lolol
"No reason. It just suddenly reminded me of a teddy bear I used to play with when I was little."
It wasn't just some made-up story.
The orphanage. Wait, do they call them childcare centers these days?
Anyway.
There was a Gomdori doll I played with a lot at the childcare center, and the bitch of a teacher threw it away on a whim once.
Because it was old, worn-out, and missing an eye.
It wasn't a particularly sad past, but.
The guilt and regret over failing to protect my friend.
And all sorts of other lingering emotions had remained intact in one corner of my heart from childhood until now.
Shocks and traumas from your early years tend to last a pretty long time, after all.
Anyway, that was why I'd decided to fix this Gomdori's eye.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya. He's soaked in childhood nostalgia.
【Reformed Guburi】─My pussy's soaked.
【Yoho】─Good grief.
【Hottie Licker】─But do u even know how to sew?
"Of course I know how to sew. Are there people who don't?"
【Reformed Guburi】─I'll give u that
【Reverse-Rape Maniac】─TT
"Anyway, I won't look at chat for a bit. I have to perform the surgery now."
【Reformed Guburi】─Surgery, my ass lol
For the surgery, I gently laid Gomdori on the floor.
［······.］
Then I removed one button from my pants.
From today onward, this would be Gomdori's new eye.
***
The surgery was completed successfully.
I neatly sewed a button onto the empty right side of its face.
Again, it might have been my imagination.
But Gomdori seemed to be making a satisfied expression.
"You grateful? If you're grateful, go ahead and answer me."
［······.］
As expected, there was no answer.
Still a tight-lipped Gomdori.
Ungrateful little bastard.
【Reformed Guburi】─Gomdori you fucking bitch, still no answer. is saying one word of thanks really that hard? you ungrateful shit!
【Qkrnfl892】─no need to be so invested
【Hottie Licker】─So Guburi's completely on the side of believing in the ghost now? lolol
"Guburi, forget it. I didn't do the surgery just to hear a thank you."
【Reverse-Rape Maniac】─Hm... I guess I need to become a psychopath too, to fit into this room.
【Yoho】─You're already more than enough for that.
I placed Gomdori on the table.
Because I'd done everything I could for it.
Now that my business was finished, I left the room without any lingering attachment.
***
I'd looked through almost the entire third floor.
Besides Gomdori, I hadn't encountered a single yokai.
It seemed Gomdori lived alone in this mansion after all.
"It wasn't as interesting as I thought. I shouldn't do this content again."
Now there was only one room left.
At the end of the wide, long hallway.
The moment I stood in front of the door painted bright red.
"······"
A sudden chill washed over my entire body.
"I feel like it's gotten colder, standing in front of this room."
On top of that, a stench assaulted my nostrils.
"Fuck, what's this smell now? Plum Blossom. Just like you said earlier, there's a weird smell..."
I pinched my nose shut and checked the chat window.
The chat window was silent.
Not a single person was typing.
"...Why isn't anyone chatting? It's not like you're all collectively lurking."
Just as I was saying that.
I felt an unexpected soft, plush sensation on my left leg.
I blinked a couple of times and quietly lowered my head to look down.
There, I saw a doll hugging my leg tightly.
It was the Gomdori doll I'd left behind in the room.
"Why the hell is this little shit here?"
［...Don't.］
"Huh? Look at that? I knew this fucking teddy bear bitch could talk. Why'd you pretend to be mute earlier? Wanna die?"
［...Don't.］
Gomdori looked up at me, mumbling.
With a face full of terror.
The object of its fear didn't seem to be me, but the red door right in front of us.
It clung to my leg.
After humming and hawing for a long while, Gomdori finally seemed to resolve itself, and in a trembling voice, finished its sentence.
［D-Don't go in!］
At that very moment,
Creeeeak.
The firmly shut red door slowly began to open, like a creature with a will of its own.
Thud!
I closed the door again.
Because it said not to go in.
I hadn't planned on going in anyway, since it felt so ominous from the start.
First, I decided to at least hear what Gomdori had to say.
After moving somewhere else.
