I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

Yoshizaki yawned, then said sleepily to the curtain in front of him, "I have something to do today and can't play with you. Can you help me calm down the resentment here? I'll come find you when I have time."

No one responded to the curtain, but in an instant, the entire village of Kaishin became calm. All the resentment and curses from the Gates of Hell were forcibly suppressed by another force in an extremely savage way.

Yoshizaki touched the projector and smiled, "Thank you for your help."

However, several words were projected onto the screen;

"Teacher, do you like me, Mako, or Tomie?"

Looking at the question on the screen, Yoshizaki Kawa didn't want to answer at first, but when he felt the surrounding curses intensify, he could only scratch his head and say, "The teacher's love for you is equally distributed."

In reality, he was internally ranting and raving.

Damn it, why is Mako joining in the fun too?

Is this a question you should be asking?

However, what Yoshizaki Kawa didn't know was that the Mako in the videotape was a mixture of the real Mako's guilt and respect for him. With all the emotions being friendly, and under the influence of Kayako and Tomie, it was quite normal for such feelings to arise.

So, who do you like more?

Who likes me more?

Before Yoshizaki had finished speaking, the curse began to fluctuate violently, but within the fluctuations there was also a sense of calm; it was just that they were arguing amongst themselves.

"It's none of my business," Yoshizaki chuckled. Just as he was about to pull Kotoko away, he noticed that Kotoko was huddled in a corner.

"Let's go, Miss Kotoko."

Seeing that the latter did not react, Yoshizaki patted her on the shoulder. Only then did Kotoko silently stand up and say, "My hearing and vision are blocked. I can't hear or see. Yoshizaki, lead me out."

She had originally planned to help Yoshizaki Kawa, but now it seems... well, she overestimated herself.

Faced with this curse, I am no different from an ordinary person.

"Take me...please, I sense my sister...is dead, I need to...find her."

At this moment, Kurosawa Yae, who had regained her senses after being spurred on by the lingering effects of the videotape, spoke in Yoshizaki Kawa's mind.

Upon hearing this, Yoshizaki thought for a moment, then lowered the body from the well and carried it out through the cave entrance.

Because the body had been dried out over the years, it had long since turned into old cured meat, so it only weighed a few dozen kilograms, and Yoshizaki could easily lift it with one hand.

After emerging from the cave, Kurosawa Yae, who had been suppressed within the corpse, finally crawled out, gave Yoshizaki Kawa a grateful look, and then hurriedly turned red and disappeared into the darkness.

Higa Kotoko pulled an injured person out of the rubble, then carried him with one arm and walked outside. With her left hand, she used the walkie-talkie to say, "The curse has now subsided. Everyone, take a headcount of the people around you. If there are any missing persons, report to the person in charge, and then organize a rescue immediately."

"Wait, which team are you from?"

"Reporting to Lady Kotoko, we were previously assigned to guard Kawakami Tomie, but after hearing about your accident, we rushed here to rescue you. After you were alright, we stayed here and planned to return after things were settled here."

"Damn it! Who gave you permission to leave your posts without permission? Get back here right now!"

Kotoko was furious. It was just a simple door; how could it compare to the damage caused by Tomie's out-of-control situation?

After a furious rebuke, he told those people to get lost.

Just then, her phone rang. Still furious, Kotoko answered the phone, and her face instantly darkened when she heard what was being said.

Just as Yoshizaki Kawa was placing Kurosawa Yae's body in the tent, preparing to go and rescue the wounded, Higa Kotoko suddenly walked in from outside with a face so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water.

After entering, she only said one sentence: "Yoshizaki, Tomie is in trouble. You're coming with me right now."

Yoshizaki's scalp tingled instantly.

Chapter 187 Kurosawa Yae's Perception (First Update)

The villa was in the dark of night; the bright moon that had once hung high in the sky had now set.

The pale yellow streetlights emitted a faint light, illuminating the path ahead.

The man was still standing there, stunned. He looked at his hands, which were still gripping the steering wheel, but there were no cars around.

The van had been turned into a barren grassland.

"Is it...a hallucination?"

When did I fall victim to this?

The memories of what happened in the car flashed through his mind, finally settling on Kurosawa Sashige's screams behind him and the sudden outburst of malice.

"Will killing you trigger the curse?"

"That's truly a brilliant tactic."

However, he did not regret killing Kurosawa Yae, because in his mind, if he hadn't killed him, the latter's abilities might have caused him to capsize in the gutter at any time. Killing him now would only make the ship capsize faster, which would save him the effort.

"If this is a hallucination, then I should still be driving right now."

The man frowned until the bleeding stopped, then took another drag of his cigarette. The pain subsided, his brow relaxed, and he continued to think.

"You want to escape this illusion through suicide?"

As a voice filled with anger and despair rang out, the man jumped off the building. A dull thud followed by the echo of a watermelon exploding on the ground, splashing juice everywhere.

"Pain couldn't wake me up, and the cigarette that was originally in my body also entered my hallucination."

Now that she's disappeared, doesn't that mean... something happened to Tomie's original body?

Before his thoughts could settle, he saw that the window on the third floor of the villa in front of him was open, and there was a figure in the window.

"Is death truly death?"

"I didn't feel the seatbelt restraining me, so it seems I've completely fallen into a hallucination. I hope my actions just now will stop the car."

Upon hearing this, Yoshizaki broke out in a cold sweat. Damn it, could Tomie already be...?

"Teacher, Tomie has disappeared from the videotape."

With that thought in mind, the man stepped forward.

……

Therefore, just one opening is enough for those madmen to attack the three sisters.

But the man stood there and waited for a moment.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but curse inwardly:

"Damn it, why are there so many people courting death?"

He stuffed his broken finger into his pocket, then took out a lighter and a cigarette. He lit the cigarette and took a deep drag before pressing the cigarette butt against his severed finger, as excruciating pain shot through his fingertip.

As Higa Kotoko fastened her seatbelt, she glanced in the rearview mirror at Yoshizaki Kawakami's pale hand, which seemed about to sprout from his left eye. She hesitated, then decided to remain silent.

The man recognized the voice as belonging to his teammate who had been sitting in the passenger seat earlier. However, he was a good-natured person and shouldn't be swayed by his emotions. Why was he acting like this now?

You should know that this guy had advised me against killing Kurosawa Yae before I even planned to do so!

Unexpectedly, he was the first to succumb to the hallucination.

"There's no use in rushing now. I've already ordered them to investigate, and they'll let us know as soon as they have any news."

"Damn, how did they do that? How can this hallucination be so outrageous?"

He immediately realized that perhaps because of the previous incident with the Soul Demon, many people had set their sights on the three sisters!

You should know that the Tomie in the videotape is the Tomie that I created in my dream before, who has 100% affection for me. In short, she is the original Tomie, an existence similar to an emotional clone.

"This is not an illusion, this is a real world, and my soul has been pulled into this world?"

To avoid being targeted by curses.

All his previous actions were like performance art, a completely unenacted performance.

Because the light was shining from behind the figure, and the distance was too far, the man couldn't see the person's appearance clearly.

The man tried several methods, but none of them worked.

Yoshizaki hadn't expected that Tomie would run into trouble in just half a night when he came to rescue Kotoko.

"Suggestion and hypnosis don't work, nor does physical stimulation; the curse within the body is blocked, making communication impossible."

"Fuck your illusions, fuck your rules, you idiot!"

"If I commit suicide, will I truly die?"

But in reality, there was nothing in front of him.

Thinking of this, the man carefully moved his hands away from the steering wheel, which was not in front of him. Then, he slowly lifted his right foot, released the accelerator, and, relying on muscle memory, quickly pressed the clutch and brake. His right hand slid down through the air to pull down the handbrake.

Having done all this, he didn't care whether he had succeeded or not. He carefully moved his feet away from where he was, spread his hands, and rolled to the side. The next moment, he rolled away from where he was.

But the next moment——

The man thought to himself, and then tried to leave this illusory world.

His heart sank slightly as he recalled the rules that guy had mentioned earlier. He had a vague feeling that there might be clues to getting out of that villa.

I've been helping you appease the Ghost King and save the world every day, and you still don't know what's good for you?

Just as he slammed the car door shut and was about to leave, Yoshizaki Kawa suddenly felt a slight stinging pain in his eyes. Then he saw something distorted in front of him, and then he heard Kayako's voice from the videotape.

"Miss Kotoko, hurry! Tomie may have been in trouble. We need to get to the scene immediately."
