#279 How to Believe in a Dubious Scripture
In this episode, the host Ayasei introduces a horror novel she recently read, unraveling its mysterious and terrifying worldview.
A disturbing ritual begins from the very start.
As the show opens, Ayasei suddenly instructs Asaya to "draw a black circle inside a triangle." She further commands him to recite three strange phrases, including "Give it to the hollow." This was actually a recreation of the opening of the novel "Uron na Seiten no Shinjikata," and it is clear that Asaya, having drawn the shape without knowing the context, is somewhat bewildered by the eerie atmosphere.
A story revolving around a mysterious "scripture."
"Uron," in the title, refers to something suspicious with an unclear origin. This story depicts a religious group that believes in such an enigmatic scripture and the fate of those who practice its teachings. The premise, which involves spreading a curse through a method reminiscent of chain emails from the past, realistically portrays the terror lurking in our daily lives.
The cruel method to evade the curse.
The story features three main characters, including a former band member and a horror novelist. To escape the curse falling upon them, they are forced to take specific actions—choices that test their humanity, such as "sacrificing others." Ayasei did something to Asaya to push the curse away from herself, so please listen to the full episode to uncover the truth.
