I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

Meanwhile, Kotoko waited outside for news from Yoshizaki Kawa.

Seeing that there was no movement for a long time, she was considering whether to go in and take a look, but just as she was hesitating, Yoshizaki Kawa came out from inside, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"Success?"

Kotoko asked.

Upon hearing this, Yoshizaki Kawakawa fell silent for a moment. He glanced at his arm and then said, "It's a failure, but not a complete failure."

"What does it mean?"

Kotoko couldn't understand Yoshizaki's words. She was actually concerned about this matter as well, since Yoshizaki's identity was special and the child was related to whether a deeply resentful spirit in her shrine could be released.

"I successfully brought out the remaining souls, but they all entered my arm."

Yoshizaki Kawa extended his right hand, and there was a small black dot on his arm.

Kotoko slowly typed out a few question marks. She grabbed Yoshizaki Kawa's hand, looked him over, and then started pinching him.

A moment later, she let go.

“I didn’t sense any resentment at all, if what you’re saying is true…”

Then it seems you're not quite right either!

Of course, this was just a thought Kotoko was making to herself.

After all, it was already quite abnormal for so many demon kings to gather around, so when it came to Yoshizaki Kawa, she actually felt... that it was normal?

"How do we get him out?"

"I don't know either, I'm not omnipotent."

Kotoko easily admitted defeat. She wouldn't be foolish enough to try to examine Yoshizaki Kawa's body again. Everyone must die; some deaths are heavier than Mount Tai, while others are lighter than a feather.

It is simply not worth dying to investigate something.

Yoshizaki remained silent, leaving his strange behavior to time to see if the ghost would reappear.

But no matter what, he still thought it was outrageous.

Why do these ghosts keep trying to get inside my body?

Just as Kotoko and Yoshizaki were investigating the ghost inside the arm, Kotoko's phone suddenly rang.

She picked up her phone and listened for a moment.

Then, a hint of joy appeared on his face, and he said to Yoshizaki Kawa, "There's news about the Minakami Village from the dream you mentioned before."

Chapter 162 Body Shaving Ceremony

Yoshizaki Kawa hadn't even recovered from the Ju-on incident when he heard Kotoko's words, and only then did he remember the door he had seen in his dream.

That door was the beginning of everything Tomie experienced.

It was also the cause of the tragic ending in his precognitive dream.

Because the gate needed to be sacrificed, the evil spirit sought out a person with deep resentment to offer as a sacrifice, and thus chose Tomie.

Finally, Tomie's apocalyptic scenario is activated.

In fact, even though Kotoko has destroyed that sect, and even though the sect leader, the vice-leader, and the remaining subordinates were all wiped out because of Mako's videotape.

However, Yoshizaki discovered something terrifying.

That is, the evil spirits he glimpsed in his dream were not the appearance of this cult leader.

Perhaps other forces are aware of the Gate's existence and have also set their sights on Kawakami Tomie.

After all, Tomie Kawakami is indeed very charming. Even in a crowd, she stands out. If you investigate her background as an orphan and her past experiences, you can easily see that she is indeed suitable as a sacrifice.

"The older sister is named Kurosawa Yae, and the younger sister is named Kurosawa Sae. They were the victims of the last twin sacrifice ritual. Because the sacrifice failed, the village held a body-shaving ritual to quell the curse. At that time, an earthquake occurred, and Minakami Village disappeared into the mountains."

Therefore, it's normal for Tomie to be targeted by other forces.

"In their legend, there is an entrance to hell in the back mountain, and once it erupts, the entire village will be plunged into disaster. Furthermore, they believe that twins actually share spiritual power, and once one is killed, the other will obtain the spiritual power of the deceased, thereby suppressing and sealing the entrance to hell."

Yoshizaki asked with some curiosity.

"The so-called body-shaving ritual involves finding a stranger, hanging the person from a roof beam, covering their five senses, and then cutting them into a human pillar to serve as a wedge to suppress the gates of hell."

After all, he lost both his parents and was isolated in high school; by any measure, he is a template full of resentment.

Hearing about the village's cruelty, he probably thought of the things he had experienced in his dream, and knew the hardships and pain the two sisters had endured, and how they had no choice but to resist, which made him feel a sense of sympathy.

"Furthermore, the ritual in your dream is also a legend in that outer village."

Upon hearing this, Yoshizaki felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn't imagine how deep the resentment of such a person must be.

"What is a body-shaving ritual? I didn't see it in my dream."

"The name of the girl in your dream, in that village, has also been found out,"

"This ritual, known in their legends as the 'Twin Ritual,' involves a sacrifice where the older sister kills the younger sister and the older brother kills the younger brother, thus sealing the gates of hell."

"The exact location hasn't been found yet, but we have a general idea of ​​where it is."

"But in fact, this is the principle I mentioned before: using resentment to resist the resentment of hell. When one resentment fails, an even stronger resentment must be used to suppress the previous one. Only in this way can the power of hell be prevented from entering reality."

"We found the outer village of Minakami, but the village inside the back mountain was destroyed by the earthquake. The roads and mountains collapsed, burying all the villagers underneath. So it will take some time to find the site of the ruins."

Yoshizaki Kawa did not relax his vigilance. Upon learning that Kotoko already had news of Minakami Village, he quickly asked, "Miss Kotoko, do you know the location of Minakami Village?"

Imagine being brought to a village for no apparent reason, having your eyes covered, and feeling your flesh being scraped off piece by piece in endless darkness—an unending torment.

This is a completely undeserved disaster.

"Then this resentment must have gone to heaven."

Kotoko nodded in agreement, but still said, "If Minakami Village really was buried underground because of the earthquake, then your dream probably won't come true."

"The door possesses such power because it is connected to hell, and the only way to seal the door is to bury it. If it is indeed buried because of an earthquake, and if the door is sealed, then it is completely absurd for the evil spirit to want to revive itself."

"Of course, my people are still searching there, but because of the danger, the search is not going very fast. But I will let you know if I have any other news."

She was quite wary of Yoshizaki's dreams, and even after learning that the earthquake had sealed the door, Kotoko still dared not let her guard down.

She planned to have people search all over that mountain area.

"Thank you for your help, Ms. Kotoko."

"It's what I should do. Next, I'll help you find out why your arm is acting strangely. By the way, what happened to you when that little devil merged into your arm?"

Yoshizaki thought back and realized that nothing had happened in the dream.

After calming the curse in the dream, Yoshizaki asked the cult leader who had made it to this point how things were going.

Incidentally, it should give the child's soul to itself—Yoshizaki Kawa already believed that the guy could never have survived the Ju-on and the Po-on demon.

Later, the grudge directly gave its soul to him, saying that the cult leader had no breath left, and the moment he handed the child's soul to him, it was absorbed by his arm...

"However, speaking of strange things, when I found the scraps of meat before, I was dragged into an illusion by this child's soul. In the illusion, I said that I would help it find a body and be reincarnated."

Is this considered abnormal?

Upon hearing this, Kotoko was startled, and her expression immediately turned strange.

"I was wondering why the pieces of meat you gave me before didn't have a soul. I thought they had been devoured by the curse. But actually, the soul had already entered your body at that time."

"I'll investigate this thoroughly. You should take the videotape home first. I've sent your family a safe with a combination lock. You can put the videotape in there. It might not be able to stop a thief with magic, but it should be enough to prevent ordinary thefts."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Qinzi shook her head and pulled open the car door: "Get in, I'll take you home."

"it is good."

……

"Want to kill me? Heh heh heh heh, not so easy!!"

The already mutilated and grotesque demon finally tore through the pitch-black membrane, staggered across the barrier, and walked out.

Previously, the curse in the dream indicated the absence of the cult leader's presence, but did not indicate his death.

After all, Ju-on has no rational thinking ability, so when it says it has no breath, it really just means it has no breath.

It is not death.

Furthermore, the curse in the dream was infinitely weakened under Yoshizaki's influence.

That's why men had this opportunity.

After tearing away the almost non-existent barrier, the man finally returned to reality as a soul. However, when he tried to find his physical body, he discovered that all the bodies around him had disappeared, and even the bloodstains on the ground had been cleaned up.

Although the demon couldn't see the white humanoid outline drawn on the ground from his perspective, he could deduce from this information that Kotoko had discovered this place and that his body had most likely been eliminated.

"Damn it!"

He was seething with hatred, and he hated the bastard ninja who brought the videotape back and tricked him into watching it even more.
