Story 4: Teke - Teke
In the middle of bustling Tokyo, there is a street known as a short path that passes through a gloomy and forgotten forest. Urban legend has been circulating about a monstrous ghost known as Teke-Teke, which haunts the street every night.
Teke-Teke is the ghost of a girl who has suffered a tragic death. According to the story, she was a high school student trapped on the railroad tracks. As he tried to pass the tracks, he tripped and fell in front of the rapidly approaching train. The horrific accident left him cut into two pieces from his waist down, leaving his body shattered.
From then on, Teke-Teke's spirit wanders with one goal: to find victims to replace his dismembered life. He walked with strong hands and elbows, dragging his upper body along the way while searching for innocent victims.
The dim and translucent highlights of the road make this story even more sinister. People who dare to pass through the path at night often hear the sound of rapid footsteps and terrible breaths approaching.
A high school student named Yumi, curious about the legend of Teke-Teke, decides to take the plunge and explore the cursed path with her friends. They wander anxiously along a dark path, trying to summon the ghost to prove that the legend is nothing but a spooky story.
However, when they reached the bridge in the middle of the forest, Yumi heard the sound of fast approaching steps behind her. He turned around and saw a terrifying shadow approaching them. It was Teke-Teke, a ghostly figure cut off and carrying unimaginable horrors.
With fear, Yumi and her friends attempt to run, but Teke-Teke continues to chase them at an inhuman pace. The sounds of footsteps and gruesome gasps drew closer, and the night turned into a very real horror story.
As they try to get out of the gloomy forest, Yumi suddenly falls down and stumbles upon a tree root hidden within the darkness. He tries to get up, but Teke-Teke gets closer. In a panic, his friends decide to leave him and run away to save themselves.
Yumi feels desperate as she sees Teke-Teke getting closer. The ghost chased after him with quick footsteps and a terrifying breath that swept behind him. He knew that he was the next target of this horror.
With great difficulty, Yumi tries to crawl away from Teke-Teke, but the ghostly cut body draws closer. Strong hands and elbows reached his feet, and with one quick move, Teke-Teke dragged him down.
Yumi screamed desperately as she felt herself being pulled into the darkness. He felt unimaginable pain when his body was cut off by Teke-Teke, and in an instant, his life was lost.
Elsewhere, Yumi's surviving friends stop for a moment to cry and try to cope with the horrors they are experiencing. They know that they have lost their best friend, and the horror story of Teke-Teke becomes real in their eyes.
Teke-Teke, with Yumi's terrifying upper body, disappears into the darkness of the forest, bringing horror and mystery with her. The legend of this cut-off ghost continues, reminding everyone that terror can appear anywhere, even in a crowded city.
