I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

But at this moment——

She seemed to realize that this wouldn't break through the barrier, so she took a few steps back and then took off her clothes;

Her naked upper body was covered in blood, and her abdomen was slightly swollen, as if there was something inside.

The next moment, she plunged her hands into her abdomen and stirred them, pulling out a fist-sized piece of flesh. Yoshizaki could not see what it was, but he could vaguely see that the flesh was somewhat whitish, like a piece of paper.

Before she could even think about what it was, she slammed the lump of flesh and blood forward.

Almost instantly—

With the crisp sound of shattering glass, an indescribable malice began to rise, and Yoshizaki's vision blurred slightly;

The next moment, the sky darkened.

As dusk falls and night descends, everything around becomes dark;

In the dim world, the music below did not stop, but grew weaker and weaker, as if it were running out of breath.

At the same time, Kotoko's tone was drawn out as she recited the last sentence.

She suddenly opened her eyes.

He immediately dialed one of the numbers: "We can begin now."

A moment later, in the dim darkness, Yoshizaki saw torches being lit, accompanied by humming, chanting, and waving, and the original court music turned into a clanging melody.

For a moment, listening to the stirring music, Yoshizaki Kawa felt a slight sting in his heart, as if he was not used to it at all.

He chose to stay away from the window;

At this moment, Kotoko had already started chanting the incantation rapidly. Yoshizaki glanced at his phone... Hmm, no signal at all. He shook his head slightly, turned around and went into the bathroom. Only when he sat on the toilet and could no longer hear the chanting outside did he feel a little more comfortable.

but--

Without Makoto and that idiot man causing trouble this time, Yoshizaki Kawa feels that things have been going relatively smoothly so far.

……

On the street outside;

The woman who had just thrown out her child and destroyed the barrier was convulsing on the ground. A little over a meter in front of her was the child she had thrown out, whose little hand was tightly clutching a piece of paper.

If Yoshizaki were here, he would recognize that it was the piece of paper that Kayako used to summon the Ouija board.

At this moment, in the darkness;

With a series of thumping footsteps, a girl slowly walked over from a distance. She squatted down, gently stroked the blood-stained and muddy flesh, and then tore the paper off the corpse.

She turned to look at the void to the side: "Little bug, you don't dare touch it either?"

At the same time, the street lamp next to her exploded instantly, shattering glass everywhere, but all the shards passed right by the girl;

"So that's what it is—"

"But if I'm human, none of these things can hurt me?"

"Okay, then I'll tear them all off."

She casually tore off a few exorcism talismans from the roadside and threw them aside like trash;

Almost instantly, one of the exorcists on the exorcism platform vomited blood. From the blood, caterpillars crawled out and moved continuously. A moment later, he fell straight to the ground and was silent.

The other exorcists ignored it and continued chanting scriptures;

After tearing off the exorcism talisman, she looked to her side and asked, "Should we open it now?"

"it is good."

The little girl seemed to trust the demon beside her completely, and without much hesitation, immediately unfolded the crumpled, blood-stained piece of paper.

Almost instantly, the blood that the old medium had left on the paper seemed to be driven by some kind of will, slowly gathering in the middle, forming several crooked blood characters at the bloody palm print: "I love you."

The next moment, the blood rushed into the little girl's body;

Almost instantly, the little girl's eyes turned completely black, her face contorted, her body swayed, and she opened her mouth, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"I...I...I love, love..."

It sounded like weeping, like a lament, making a whimpering sound, like a pitiful, heartbroken girl crying in pain at the departure of her beloved;

No one can take you away—you are mine, and can only be mine, forever.

"Save...you..."

The next moment, it suddenly rushed towards the room where Yoshizaki Kawa was;

At the same time, all the streetlights along the road exploded one after another, and the path it had traveled instantly turned pitch black;

—Behind it, a gentle breeze blows, following the path of the Soul Demon;

Everything began to shake slightly;

Cracks appeared in the earth, and the ground shook violently;

Ju-on is a twisted entity, devoid of emotion and cognition, existing from the past to the future.

But when it merges with a human, it acquires distorted human emotions.

Furthermore, when this cyclical emotion is disrupted at a certain point in time, the memories and emotions associated with the Ju-on will also become disordered—because the memories and emotions of the Ju-on are all shared.

Countless nodes, which can be considered as countless worlds, in which a person named "Yoshizaki Kawa" may torture and kill Kayako, or treat her gently, or be just a bystander, or die tragically in front of Kayako.

But all these memories will become memories of "Ju-on".

—Furthermore, time travel has never existed in this world.

However, information about the future and the past can be transmitted through the medium of curses, just like information is transmitted back and forth through a telephone line, with each node having curses of varying strengths.

These curses of varying strengths have always instinctively maintained their existence in the future, and time and time again, they have made their future even more terrifying—this is an instinct that has been bound to the curses since their inception.

If the future may not happen, then the curse of this node, upon receiving information from other nodes, will riot.

However, Ju-on cannot attack without regard to cause and effect, as that would contradict its nature. Therefore, it needs an "excuse" to attack. Once someone violates a taboo, it can coil around them like a venomous snake.

What is erased from the past by the curse of the past will disappear from the point in time "past," and all memories of that thing will remain at the point in time when it was erased.

The past influences the future, so people's memories will also be modified to remain in the past.

Without a past, there is no correction from time.

Furthermore, she was born from Kayako after being chosen by the main body of Ju-on.

It wasn't that Kayako was chosen after her birth—

Of course, after the curse descends and Kayako is born, the vengeful spirit will also unite with her after her death.

……

villa;

It was dark, but the clouds seemed to cover the moon, so even though it was the fifteenth of the lunar month, the full moon was not visible.

Kayako stood by the window, looking at the dim moon obscured by dark clouds, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Although the teacher wasn't there, she was still very moved by Tomie's suggestion, and she wanted to dedicate everything she had to the teacher.

but--

She sighed sadly, though she desperately hoped for its appearance;

Even if I think about it...

At that moment, she suddenly saw lights come on by the lake below;

Kayako was leaning against the window.

Look down;

That is--

Tomie-san? Mako-san?

What are they doing?

Kayako was a little curious, so she put on her shoes and walked quickly forward;

In the darkness, she held a flashlight and groped her way forward.

But at this moment,

Her vision suddenly blurred, and then she saw a faint silver glow shining in the darkness ahead.

Kayako paused for a moment, her gaze instinctively turning towards the horizon;

now--

Perhaps the dark clouds have dispersed, or perhaps they have drifted away, but a bright moon hangs high in the sky.

"moon?!"

She was pleasantly surprised and immediately turned off the flashlight in her hand;

For some reason, she particularly liked the moon, its depth, its vastness, its serene coolness... and a touch of intimacy;

At the same time, when they heard the exclamation from the other side, Tomie and Mako, who were laying out the equipment, were startled and looked up at the sky.

but--
