I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

But when he received a call from Saito Asuka, Yoshizaki gave up his previous idea.

Without Kayako's suppression, the Po-Xiong Demon has grown increasingly powerful.

It has even set its sights on the people around it!

If I hadn't been careful beforehand and remembered that Kayako had been in contact with Saito Asuka, the latter might have run into trouble.

For this purpose, he gave Saito Asuka the Yakumo necklace that Kotoko had given him.

Now it seems that if it weren't for this necklace, the latter would most likely be—

"Mr. Saito, if you hear a voice calling your name in the next few days, please do not answer! Remember, no matter what, please do not answer!"

In fact, the necklace's power was quite limited.

It's not certain that Saito Asuka can be protected under the curse of the Po-Xu Demon. Yoshizaki speculates that the reason this attack failed is probably because Saito Asuka was clever enough not to respond to the Po-Xu Demon, so the curse did not exert its full force.

Meanwhile, hearing her senior's words, Saito Asuka felt even more that there was something terrifying about this, and she tried to find an explanation.

"I'll tell you everything when I get back."

Yoshizaki hung up the phone, glanced at the waning moon outside the window, and could only sigh. Poor principal, you'll have to suffer for a while!

He then called Kotoko again, but she didn't answer.

A moment later, she sent a text message: "In words."

Although Kotoko herself was not afraid of this curse, once she was infected by it, she would also be cursed if she called out someone's name and the person responded.

Yes, the curse of the Soul Demon is indeed that disgusting.

Once you are cursed after your name is called, you may also be cursed if you call someone else's name and they respond.

Keep in mind that the true form of the Soul Demon is watching this area right now!

Yoshizaki sent over what had happened to Saito Asuka verbatim. After a while, a text message came back: "The curse of the Po-Xu Demon has begun to spread. Two exorcists died today. Even with my protection, anyone who is not near me may be taken away by it."

Upon seeing these words, Yoshizaki's pupils contracted slightly;

"Dead again?"

Does she mean that many mages have died during this period?

At this moment, Yoshizaki's heart felt slightly heavy. He had underestimated this Po-Xiu Demon. He hadn't expected that even with Kotoko's protection, those mages still couldn't withstand the curse.

"Of course, you don't need to feel guilty. For exorcists, this kind of thing is all too common. Life and death are predestined. If they can die in a worthy place, it is actually a good end for them."

In reality, Kotoko never forced any exorcists to come. All she did was spread the word about the Po-Xiong Demon, tell them what she was going to do, and how dangerous this Po-Xiong Demon was.

Even so, the mages still came one by one, even knowing they were facing death.

Humans are strange creatures; you can see all sorts of negative and positive adjectives in them.

Fear of death, greed for money and lust, jealousy—

Fearless in the face of sacrifice, devoted to public service, and selfless in service—

And when they have such a sense of righteousness, death seems to become an honor, and they will rush to their deaths one after another.

Therefore, Kotoko did not feel that this was a sad thing, because she would eventually walk down this path herself.

"I understand. I will definitely arrive on time tomorrow."

After typing that line, Yoshizaki Kawa put his phone in his pocket, and his previous thoughts completely disappeared.

He went up to the rooftop and returned to his room, but he didn't find Kayako anywhere.

at the same time--

On the other side, inside the hall;

Tomie, Kayako, and Sadako are sitting around a table;

In the middle of the table was a piece of paper.

This piece of paper was contributed by Kayako... because no one else was carrying a notebook besides her;

"Now I'll talk about the taboos of the Ouija board game!"

"First, you must never ask how the spirit died."

"Secondly, you must never ask about your future."

"Third, you must never let the pen leave the paper, and you must not deliberately cause trouble, understand?"

Because she was so bored at night, Tomie simply pulled everyone over to play the Ouija board game.

I was originally thinking of inviting Yoshizaki Kawa to come along, but... never mind.

She was afraid of asking some strange questions.

Chapter 97 Ouija Board Game

Kayako was angry with Mako before and didn't want to come over to play.

However, since Mako sincerely apologized to her, Kayako reluctantly forgave her, took out a piece of paper from her notebook, and prepared to play Ouija together.

At this moment, several people were gathered around the table.

"Gudong-"

Kayako swallowed hard. She was a little scared. The rules that Tomie had mentioned sounded eerie, and she had a feeling that something might actually happen.

Mako remained expressionless. This world does have ghosts, because she herself possessed this special ability.

To be honest, although she suspected something was amiss, she had never actually seen it yet.

"Although it's said that the Ouija board can only be summoned with red paper and a pen, we'll keep things simple for now. I'm confident that with our abilities, we'll be able to summon it successfully!"

"By the way, Kayako, sit next to me."

Seeing that Kayako seemed very scared, and having learned about her past from Mako, coupled with her own unfounded delusions, Tomie felt guilty towards Kayako.

So seeing that she was scared, even though she herself was a little apprehensive, she still pretended to be a big sister and protected Kayako behind her.

"Then let's begin!"

At that moment, Tomie, with a solemn expression, wrote "abcde..." on Kayako's piece of paper.

"By the way, how do you spell the last part of a word again?"

She scratched her head somewhat awkwardly, and Kayako volunteered to write down all the remaining letters in one breath, which was truly terrifying.

Because the way Ouija boards answer questions is rather limited and direct communication is impossible—it's said they can only answer by drawing circles on paper—using letters to spell out answers is the only way to get a more accurate one.

After writing these down, Tomie took out a ballpoint pen and placed it on the paper. At the same time, Kayako also reached out and grasped it, and it was Mako who finally grasped it.

"Ouija board spirit, Ouija board spirit, you are my past life, I am your present life. If you wish to continue our bond, please draw a circle on the paper~"

"Ouija board spirit, you are my past life, I am your present life. If you wish to continue our bond, please draw a circle on the paper~"

When Yoshizaki heard that they were playing a game together, he became curious about what game they were playing and came downstairs.

Then, I saw them playing the Ouija board game there;

Innocent!

If we could really summon them, that would be...

and many more?

At that moment, Yoshizaki suddenly noticed something strange about the paper on the table;

That is?

The next moment, he suddenly widened his eyes and then compared the charm that Kotoko had folded from Kayako's notebook with the one around his neck;

Holy crap, are you guys using paper from Kayako's notebook to summon the Ouija board?!

I served it!

Yoshizaki Kawa, who had been as calm as a rock, suddenly started to panic.

Because another interpretation of summoning the spirit is that the ghost summoned is actually one's own past life!

Damn it, I hope I don't summon the Ju-on (a powerful spirit) again!

……

Meanwhile, inside Tomie's room;

The puppet inexplicably stood up from the ground, its eyes, painted with a paintbrush, filled with death. It walked step by step to the window, opened it, and fell into freefall, crashing to the ground. Then it ran outside like a madman.

At this moment, it had only one thought in its mind, and that was—

Get out of this awful place!

The creatures here can't understand what it's saying, and... each one of them puts immense pressure on it, giving it a constant feeling that it's about to be devoured at any moment.

At that moment, it took off running.

But at this moment——

In the darkness behind him, an indescribable curse and resentment descended, and the next moment, the puppet instantly lost its power and fell straight to the ground;
