The floor, the walls, and the ceiling—Sadakos were everywhere! A rough count revealed at least ten of them!
"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Seeing so many terrifying ghostly women appear in front of him, Nobita's soul nearly left his body. His eyes rolled back, and he immediately lost consciousness.
"Nobita!"
Seeing him faint from fright, the others quickly became concerned.
"This guy… why is he making things worse at a time like this?!"
Gian couldn't help but complain.
The next second, all the Sadakos simultaneously lifted their hair and sent it flying toward Doraemon and the others.
Doraemon reacted quickly, swinging the Reflective Cloak and deflecting all the incoming strands of hair. The reflected attack ended up wrapping around the Sadakos themselves, effectively tying them up!
However, at that moment, numerous strands of hair extended from the staircase below. Before anyone could react, they were all ensnared!
"Ahhh! We're caught!"
Doraemon, Gian, Suneo, and Shizuka were tightly bound by the hair, unable to break free. The strength of the grip was overwhelming.
"This is unbearable!"
Shizuka groaned in pain, feeling like her body was being crushed.
"Ugh! Damn it! If you've got guts, let me go and fight me one-on-one!"
Gian yelled furiously.
"Mom! I don't wanna die!"
Suneo was already in tears, convinced that his end had come.
"Wuuu…"
At that moment, the unconscious Nobita finally woke up. When he saw Doraemon and the others ensnared, he immediately sprang up in shock.
"Doraemon!"
"Nobita! Quickly, grab a gadget from my pocket!"
Doraemon shouted urgently.
"But… which one should I use?!"
Nobita panicked, having no idea what gadget would be effective against Sadako.
"Forget it! Just grab something and hope for the best!"
Doraemon didn't know either. Right now, all they could rely on was Nobita's luck.
The pain from being constricted was excruciating—Doraemon felt as if his robotic body was going to be crushed.
If even he, a robot, was suffering this much, then the three children, Gian, Suneo, and Shizuka, were in an even worse state. Their veins bulged from the strain, as if their bodies were about to be torn apart.
"Damn it!"
Seeing everyone in such agony, Nobita steeled himself and reached into the 4D Pocket, grabbing the first item his hand landed on.
It was a flashlight!
"A Shrink Ray! I hope this works!"
Nobita immediately turned on the light, shining it onto the strands of hair in hopes of shrinking them to free Doraemon.
However, there was no shrinking effect.
Instead, the constantly writhing hair suddenly stopped moving, as if frozen in place.
"Eh?!"
In that instant, Doraemon felt the suffocating grip loosen, though his body still felt heavy.
He quickly looked at the flashlight in Nobita's hand.
"That's not a Shrink Ray! It's a Solidification Light!"
Doraemon immediately realized the truth and shouted:
"Nobita! Destroy the hair!"
Though unsure why, Nobita trusted Doraemon's judgment. Without hesitation, he aimed his Air Cannon and fired at the hair.
The previously intangible, ghostly hair—normally impervious to attacks—shattered instantly upon impact!
With that, Doraemon and the others were freed and collapsed onto the floor.
"We're saved!"
Suneo cheered, overjoyed at their survival.
"What just happened?"
Gian looked utterly confused.
"The Solidification Light can solidify anything—it turned Sadako's hair into a tangible object!"
Doraemon explained.
Just then, the Sadakos who had been bound by their own reflected hair broke free by violently shattering the strands.
They all unleashed a powerful wave of psychic energy!
Doraemon quickly raised the Reflective Cloak, but the force was too great and widespread—everyone was sent flying once again.
They crashed down to the first floor!
Several more Sadakos were lurking there. The moment Doraemon and the others landed, the ghosts prepared to attack.
"Take this!"
Nobita quickly shined the Solidification Light at them.
The next second, the Sadakos froze in place, unable to move!
"It works! The Solidification Light can immobilize ghosts!"
Nobita shouted in excitement upon seeing the result.
"Eat this!"
Gian took the opportunity to blast the immobilized Sadakos with his Air Cannon, shattering them completely!
Seeing this, everyone's faces lit up. They had finally found a way to fight back against the Sadakos!
But just then, the remaining Sadakos from the second floor began crawling down. Their movements were disturbingly fast.
Nobita reacted immediately, shining the Solidification Light to freeze them as they approached.
However, some of them moved too quickly and evaded the beam, getting dangerously close!
Doraemon instantly swung the Reflective Cloak, flinging the Sadakos away.
Nobita quickly turned the light onto them!
Just when it seemed like the tide was turning in their favor—
BAM!
The living room table suddenly flew into the air and smashed down hard on Doraemon and Nobita, slamming them against the wall with tremendous force.
"Aghhh!"
Both of them groaned in pain.
Then, as if controlled by an unseen force, the table lifted again and came crashing down toward the fallen Solidification Light and Reflective Cloak!
CRASH!
The table shattered into pieces—along with the Solidification Light! The Reflective Cloak was torn by the debris.
"Eh?! EH?!?!"
Seeing their only effective weapons get destroyed, everyone's faces instantly turned ashen.
At that moment, more Sadakos began crawling out of the living room television, moving toward Doraemon and the others.
"What do we do now?!"
Suneo clutched his head in panic.
"It's fine! If the Solidification Light worked, then other gadgets should too!"
However, Doraemon remained calm. He quickly pulled out a camera.
"Why are you taking out a camera at a time like this?!"
Suneo couldn't help but complain.
"Just watch!"
Doraemon didn't have time to explain. He immediately aimed the camera at the Sadakos and snapped a picture.
The moment the shutter clicked—
The Sadakos, who had been charging toward them, suddenly froze in midair, completely motionless!
"This is the Instant Freeze Camera! Anyone captured in its photo stops moving completely!"
Doraemon explained before frantically rummaging through his pocket.
He tossed aside several unnecessary gadgets before finally pulling out what he needed.
"A Restoration Flashlight!"
Doraemon immediately used the Restoration Flashlight to fix the shattered Solidification Light and the torn Reflective Cloak.
He then grabbed the Solidification Light and shined it on the immobilized Sadakos, turning them into tangible entities!
The next second—
Gian, Shizuka, and Suneo fired their Air Cannons simultaneously, blowing the Sadakos to pieces!
After dealing with them, everyone turned to stare at the television screen, their bodies tense.
They were terrified that more Sadakos would crawl out again.
