[JapanUrbanLegend] answer
answer
One day, ten people, each with their own mysterious reasons, decided to perform an unusual ritual. According to legend, completing this ritual would forever change their lives. However, the method they chose was anything but ordinary.
The group prepared ten mobile phones and began dialing them in a specific sequence. The first phone was called to the second phone, the second to the third, and so on until the tenth phone was dialed back to the first. As the phones connected, a “busy” signal rang from each one. Normally, this would create a simultaneous call chain, but something strange happened. Among the ten phones, one phone mysteriously received an incoming call.
This caller was different. Unlike the others, the one who received the call could answer any question with unsettling precision. Whether it was "What day of the week is April 5, 2030?" or "What day of the week was September 13, 1979?", the answers came without hesitation. The answers were flawless, like a living database.
However, there was one exception. One person, randomly chosen, did not receive an answer but instead started asking questions. They asked, "What day of the week is April 5, 2030?" The person receiving the call, confused and startled, could not answer. Time passed, and the answer remained elusive.
At that moment, something horrifying happened. A hand began to emerge from the screen of the phone, as if the phone itself was alive. Slowly but steadily, the hand reached out and began to pull at the person's body. With every second that passed, their body parts seemed to vanish, as if being consumed by the phone's screen. The person screamed in agony, but there was nothing they could do. The hand, ever-growing, continued to pull and claim their flesh.
The creature’s true nature was far darker than anyone had anticipated. The legend whispered that the entity had been born as a deformed child, its body slowly deteriorating while its mind grew excessively sharp. Seeking to fill the void left by its decaying form, it began to steal the bodies of others. It absorbed parts of those who failed to answer its questions correctly, growing stronger and more complete each time.
Over time, this creature ceased to be human. It was no longer a child, nor even a man. It was a monster—a creature whose only purpose was to restore its incomplete body by taking what it needed from others.
