I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

Although she might not be able to come over anytime soon, according to Kotoko, the Po-Xu Demon will not launch a second attack on the same target for a short period of time after an attack fails, so she is relatively safe during this period.

They had some breathing room.

Of course, it was the bracelet that gave him boundless courage.

He shuffled through the darkness, struggling to open the door. Because of his previous battle with the ghost, his body was nearly at full capacity, and he was now completely exhausted, every nerve revealing deep fatigue.

He managed to pull out a mirror, placed it facing the door, and then collapsed onto the bed. The shock from the car accident had left him still excited and unable to sleep. He could only feel extremely tired and barely managed to close his eyes to relieve some of the fatigue.

……

"I desperately want to know everything about him."

Kayako neatly wrote the last sentence in the notebook, then closed the old notebook and hugged it tightly to her chest.

At that moment, there was a slight commotion outside.

A moment later, the sound of the door being pushed open suddenly came from downstairs, followed by hurried footsteps.

"I don't care what happens! I want to see the money first! You're coming out with me, but what about the money? What if he doesn't transfer the funds?"

"With this little bit of savings, can I survive for a month?"

Her father's furious voice rang out, unlike his usual timid demeanor; Kayako had never heard her father speak with such rage before.

Also, what does "outside" mean?

She lay down, pressed her left cheek against the floor, and looked into the living room through the crack in the door.

The mother was sitting on the sofa, seemingly injured, and the father's face was wrapped in bandages. It was unclear what had happened.

"Heh, you think he's short of money? Besides, do you and I even have time left?"

"I feel creeped out when I come back to this house now!"

time?

What time?

Kayako didn't quite understand what they were talking about.

"There's no time left."

The father sighed. If it had been before, and the mother had spoken to him in this tone, the father would have already started cursing.

Kayako felt that he seemed to have changed.

However, all of this is irrelevant to me. No matter how they change, they will never give me a second glance.

Kayako got up from the floor without making a sound, hugged Yoshizaki Kawa's hat, lay back on the bed, and stared blankly at the ceiling;

Meanwhile, in the lobby;

Kawamata Yoshida ultimately chose to compromise. Although he was very unhappy that the woman in front of him wanted to go far away with him, he was even more unhappy that the woman in front of him had not been killed by "that thing".

But since things had come to this, the only thing to do was to escape with this woman first.

After all, only she could quickly find someone with enough money to buy her house. Damn it, how many men has this bitch been hooking up with behind my back?

She even managed to seduce the newspaper's editor-in-chief.

Kawamata Yoshida cursed under his breath, then said, "The visa-free period is only fifty days. Let's go out and lay low for a while."

He had considered immigrating before, but after calculating the costs, he realized that with his limited funds, he would just starve to death there.

With my meager abilities, I am completely incapable of surviving there.

So I can only go there to lay low for a while and wait about a month before returning to Japan.

Of course, he would never return to Saitama Prefecture.

In the afternoon, Kawamata Yoshida also tried to find a so-called exorcist, but all those exorcists were just charlatans who swindled money. They could barely even give a coherent explanation, let alone exorcise ghosts.

That guy was right in front of them, but they couldn't see anything at all, and they were so scared they peed their pants!

However, I bought a lot of amulets, but I don't know if they'll be useful.

He couldn't wait any longer; he was afraid that if he waited another day, he would be killed by that ghost.

Sometimes, he even suspected that the ghost could split into two, since it had been following him all afternoon, but this wretched woman claimed that she had encountered it as well.

Kawamata Yoshida shoved the clothes into the trunk of the car and yelled at the person behind him, "Damn it, how much stuff are you taking? Are you going to empty the whole house? We're going to be late!"

Nakagawa Kawamatsu, carrying a bag, slammed it onto the back seat;

"Do you think everyone is a Showa-era loser like you, unkempt and not even bothering to wash up?"

She got into the car and then slammed the door shut.

"Damn it, be gentle!"

"whispering sound--"

The latter made a disdainful sound;

He got into the car, angrily fastened his seatbelt, glanced at the woman next to him, and then suddenly grabbed her collar with his right hand: "You bitch! Don't look down on me!"

The latter showed no fear, yanked his right hand away, and sneered, "What, what else do you want to do?"

Upon hearing this, he deflated like a punctured balloon, let go of the car without uttering a word, started the engine, pulled the handbrake, and stepped on the gas. The car began to move slowly forward.

"What a ridiculous man."

Upon seeing this, Nakagawa Kawamatsu chuckled and then began to straighten his clothes.

After giving birth to Kayako, the man lost the ability to stand up completely in an accident.

This is also one of the sources of their conflict.

The car drove along a deserted road late at night. The sky was pure black, without a single star. Because it was a city, the streetlights on both sides emitted a hazy light, making it seem particularly lonely.

The plane tickets were bought in the afternoon.

When Nakagawa Kawamatsu encountered "that thing" in the afternoon, she quickly connected it with Kawamata Yoshida, who had inexplicably jumped from the third floor. She immediately found the latter, and after a confrontation, the two realized that they had both seen "that thing".

After a heated discussion, he decided to sell the house and leave to avoid the limelight.

After hiding away for at least a month or two, I'll try to find another place to settle down.

She didn't believe that this ghost could chase her all the way out of the country!

As for Kayako?

Such a person did not exist in any of their plans.

To them, it doesn't matter whether the person is alive, dead, or also tormented by ghosts.

Chapter 44 Accident

As the car left the city, the high beams were turned on, illuminating the road ahead.

Kawamata Yoshida yawned. He was already seriously injured, and after going through so much in the afternoon, the fact that he could still drive was already a testament to his survival potential.

To be honest, he didn't dare stay in the hospital any longer because that guy was following him.

If I were in a hospital, I would have no way to get help and would definitely be—

At that moment, he suddenly saw something and slammed on the brakes. Nakagawa Kawamatsu's head slammed into the windshield. Before he could even curse, the car lurched and drifted on the road. Kawamata Yoshida immediately swerved the steering wheel, and the car came to a steady stop on the road.

"You bastard, how do you drive?"

Coming to his senses, Nakagawa Kawamatsu rubbed his head and cursed angrily.

"I just saw a little child standing there on the road."

Kawamata Yoshida, still shaken, quickly explained;

"Then run him over!"

Enraged, Nakagawa Kawamatsu blurted out, "How could there be a stupid kid standing in the middle of the road in the middle of the night! Besides, this is the suburbs!"

But after saying that, she seemed to realize something, a look of fear crossed her face, and a chill ran down her spine. She grabbed Kawamata Yoshida's sleeve and shouted urgently, "Drive! Drive now, get out of here!"

And at this moment,

Snapped!

A pale hand slammed against the glass next to Nakagawa Kawamatsu, making a crisp sound;

She subconsciously looked up.

And the one who met her gaze,

It was a pair of indifferent, bloodshot eyes, and seemingly a hint of tyranny, on a face that looked pieced together and was full of cracks.

"Ahhh!"

Like a chicken terrified out of its wits, she instinctively clutched her chest, her expression shifting from horror to complete breakdown in less than ten seconds. Then, her face contorted in fear, and she let out a sharp, terrified scream.

next moment--

The engine roared, and without the slightest hesitation, Kawamata Yoshida slammed his right foot down. At that moment, he wished he could press the accelerator into the engine. With the roar of the engine, the car shot forward.

The ghost seemed to have been suddenly accelerated and flung away, disappearing without a trace.
