Tokyo: I was tricked into marrying a yandere ghost

Chapter 104: The future body of the curse, Toshio Saeki

Noriko Hojo has gone mad; she wants to create a new Japan...

No, it's not quite about creating a new Japan yet, but she does want to create an organization that can gather and contain ghost stories, which is the Shinto University mentioned earlier. To be honest, Kiyokawa Kiri isn't very concerned about this matter, but the other party has put forward a condition that he can't refuse.

Kayako's future self has already arrived, and before she even realized it.

Hearing what the other person said, Kiyokawa fell into a deep silence.

He first glanced at the little black dog he was holding in his arms and found that the little black dog was still lazy and indifferent.

So, is what Noriko Hojo said true?

This is a serious matter and we must be careful, after all, Ju-on is notoriously evil.

No matter how confident she was in the mermaid, she was still somewhat intimidated by the almost invincible vengeful ghost.

"It seems you understand what I mean."

Noriko Hojo then turned her gaze to Souichi Ishii beside her and said rather amicably, "And you? You don't think you and Ishii Gen have a chance to refuse, do you?"

"Even though you've been feeding Ishii Gen with that bunch of social scum, over time, people will start to target you."

"I've actually been watching you for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that you'd be teaming up with Kiyokawa Kiri, I would have already taken action against you... In any case, even if humans kill people, they should be dealt with by humans. I'm a staunch supporter of humanity, so if you refuse, I won't show any mercy."

She looked at Ishii Souichi with a smile, seemingly unconcerned about his rejection.

Ishii Fuchi's fondness for cannibalism is a rather threatening element even within the world of ghost stories.

From Hojo Noriko's perspective, it was impossible for her to tolerate the other party.

Whenever Souichi Ishii expresses his unwillingness to join Shinto University, she will unhesitatingly unleash the small Hell Star in her hand, devouring the Ishii couple... She has done something similar more than once.

There was a strange tale about a woman called "Eight-Foot Lady" who liked to abduct other people's children.

After Hojo Noriko warned the other party, Lady Yasha not only ignored her advice, but became even more outrageous.

Finally, Noriko Hojo made the other party disappear forever.

"whispering sound....

""

Feeling threatened by Noriko Hojo, Souichi Ishii's expression turned somewhat grim.

He didn't want to join, since joining meant his personal freedom would be restricted, but if he didn't join, he would have to fight Hojo Noriko here. The other party seemed fearless and obviously didn't take him and Ishii Gen seriously.

Kiyokawa Kiri is now wavering, and if a fight really breaks out, no one can say for sure what will happen.

Ishii Souichi considered it for a long time, and finally, holding his breath, he turned his head away, refusing to answer directly. Fortunately, Hojo Noriko was willing to give him time to think it over. Then she looked at Yamamura Sadako beside her and gently reminded her, "What I told you before still stands, Yamamura-kun..."

""

"I don't need your help. With Kiyokawa-kun, I can achieve my goal." Yamamura Sadako shook her head.

She would definitely be more inclined to believe Kiyokawa Kiri.

After all, Noriko Hojo didn't seem very reliable, and he had only known her for a short time.

Unlike Kiyokawa Kiri, she had known Kiyokawa Kiri for a long time and had full confidence in Kiyokawa Kiri's abilities. She believed that even without Hojo Noriko's help, she and Kiyokawa Kiri could find other ways to achieve "spiritual and physical fusion".

There's absolutely no need to take that risk.

As everyone's gazes turned to Kiyokawa Kiri, it seemed that everyone was waiting for his answer.

Sensing the subtle atmosphere, Kiyokawa Kiri's expression shifted between light and shadow. He said softly, "Do you have a way to solve Kayako's problem?"

"Yes, I'll tell you once you join."

Without the slightest hesitation, Noriko Hojo stated decisively that she truly had a way. Although she did not possess the ability to foresee the future, she had the means to obtain information about ghost stories and knew how to deal with Ju-on.

Seeing the other party's confident demeanor, Kiyokawa Kiri couldn't help but ponder for a moment.

He asked rather cautiously, "What benefits would it bring us to join that university you mentioned?"

'

"The benefit is that your problems as ghost stories will be resolved," Hojo Noriko said with a smile, spreading her hands. "Furthermore, I will find ways to protect your rights, and you may even be able to obtain relevant resources from me."

"There's no such thing as a free lunch. You probably want to recruit us because you want us to help you, right?" Sadako Yamamura said abruptly.

None of the people present were fools.

Hojo Noriko only mentioned the advantages but didn't clearly explain the disadvantages, which shows a lack of sincerity.

Only by understanding the risks involved can people make better judgments.

"Of course, Japan is so big, I can't manage it all, someone has to be willing to help."

"Shinto University is just the beginning. My goal is to create a related department. It's not enough to focus only on Tokyo. After all, there are many ghost stories in other parts of Japan, and we need your help to make some contributions."

"Of course, this is not mandatory; it's up to you."

Hojo Noriko paused, then added, "We can also give you a reward. Ishii-san must need the money."

""

Souichi Ishii didn't say anything, but his face turned a little dark.

We were all discussing ghost stories and how humans should interact with them, when someone suddenly mentioned they were short of money, instantly lowering my own class by several notches. I'm speechless...

However, what Noriko Hojo said was indeed something he cared about.

It's okay to work hard, but you have to be paid!

Otherwise, who will work for you for free?

"How many students are there at the university you mentioned now?" Kiyokawa Kiri asked.

"Not many. Besides you, there are probably seven or eight people." Hojo Noriko waved her hand dismissively. "Ordinary people who don't know about ghost stories are useless to recruit, so the number isn't the point."

"Can...

'

Kiyokawa Kiri thought about it for a long time and decided that it wouldn't hurt to agree.

But he quickly added, "However, we also have conditions..."

'

We cannot restrict freedom, and we cannot allow Noriko Hojo to exploit the rules of ghost stories to discover the loopholes in our abilities. This is related to everyone's lives, so we cannot let the other party inquire about our information.

In addition to these, there are also benefits and perks.

Hojo Noriko has said so much, exaggerating her abilities to the skies, but no matter how amazing she is, that's all in the future. What matters now is what you can actually eat.

Kiyokawa Kiri is now considered a semi-leader of this group of ghost story enthusiasts.

Naturally, we must also strive to secure sufficient benefits for everyone.

Fortunately, Noriko Hojo didn't care about these things and readily agreed to everything.

Seeing this, the group exchanged glances and agreed.

"You made the right choice..."

'

Noriko Hojo's mood improved more and more.

She looked at Kiyokawa Kiri and said with a smile, "Of course, I also have to thank you, Kiyokawa-kun."

"To show my sincerity, I'll be frank—how can we resolve Kayako's problem?"

Top-tier ghost stories like Kayako Kawamata exist in three forms: "past body," "present body," and "future body."

Kayako's past self was in the body of Kuro, who was in Kiyokawa Kiri's arms.

Kuro inherited one-third of Kayako's abilities, while the remaining third resides in the current Kayako, in her present form.

The future form is the "Ju-on" that has become its complete form in the future.

Kiyokawa Kiri thought that her future self might be the adult Kayako after her death.

But Hojo Noriko's words took him by surprise. She slowly said, "Kayako's future self is not her, but Saeki Toshio, who no longer exists in this timeline."

"Toshio Saeki?"

Kiyokawa Kiri was stunned upon hearing this.

He was naturally familiar with this name; it belonged to the original Kayako's son.

In the original Ju-on storyline, Kayako married a man named Takeo Saeki. After the marriage, she was subjected to long-term domestic violence by him. Unable to bear it any longer, Kayako fantasized about having a child, hoping that it might make Takeo Saeki treat her better.

However, because Takeo Saeki suffers from oligospermia, Kayako has difficulty getting pregnant.

Coincidentally, they moved into a haunted house where a boy named Toshio Yamaga was locked in a closet and starved to death. Driven by Kayako's supernatural abilities, Toshio Yamaga's spirit ended up residing in her womb and eventually became her child, Toshio Saeki.

No wonder...

"6

Kiyokawa Kiri frowned and muttered to himself.

It's not hard to understand why Xiao Hei, being part of Ju-on, would become a past incarnation.

Saeki Toshio is Kayako's future child, and is also a ghost story, so he naturally becomes the future incarnation of Ju-on.

Saeki Toshio was Kayako's child after she married Saeki Takeo. Now that he has interfered with Kayako's present life, causing her future to change, it's highly likely that Saeki Toshio will not be born...

Hmm, if that's the case, the other party definitely won't let me off the hook.

Thinking of this, Kiyokawa Kirito suddenly felt a toothache.

He had been caught in a misconception, always believing that Kayako was the most dangerous person.

But what I never expected was that the most dangerous one was actually Saeki Toshiyuki, who could no longer be born and whose entire being ceased to exist. He would definitely seek revenge on me, the culprit, before he disappeared.

According to Hojo Noriko, it was Kuro who stopped the other party during that time.

However, Toshio Saeki's resentment grew stronger, and his power continued to increase.

It will soon develop to a extent far exceeding what Little Black can control...

At that time, Kiyokawa Kiri will definitely be in big trouble.

"Don't worry, Kiyokawa-kun." Seeing him frown, Hojo Noriko comforted him, "I have a way to solve this problem for you. Don't forget, Saeki Toshio, no... I should say Yamaga Toshio is still alive."

"Not born yet?"

Kiyokawa's eyes lit up immediately.

Yup!

According to the original story, Toshio Yamaga was originally eight years old and died nineteen years before he met Kayako.

So, if we calculate based on the current timeline, from the time Yamaga Toshio was born until he met Kayako, it was at least twenty-seven years ago—Kayako is only fourteen or fifteen years old now, so there is a very high probability that Yamaga Toshio is still alive, and not dead!

Reminded by Hojo Noriko, Kiyokawa Kiri immediately came up with a solution.

Since Yamaga Toshio is still alive, why not just find a way to change his future as well?

That way, Toshio Yamaga wouldn't die in the closet.

As long as he doesn't die in the closet, there won't be a future version of him meeting Kayako and transforming into the Ju-on.

This is a way to completely solve the problem of Junxiong from the root.

Kiyokawa Kiri quickly realized the feasibility of the plan.

Just then, Noriko Hojo also took out her flip phone and waved it with a grin.

"Come on, let's exchange contact information. I'll tell you about the Yamaga family later."

"Don't underestimate the intelligence gathering capabilities of paranormal forums. I know a lot of things, including the exact location of the Yamaga family's house," she added with a smile.

This woman not only used the internet to obtain a lot of information.

Moreover, it has connections with the Metropolitan Police Department.

Finding a family in such a vast country as Japan was really not a difficult task for Noriko Hojo.

Seeing that the other party had gone to such lengths to help, Kiyokawa Kiri didn't hesitate any longer and directly exchanged contact information with them. Yamamura Sadako was also proactive and directly gave out her landline number. Ishii Souichi hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he reluctantly recited a string of numbers.

In any case, the only option they had was to join Noriko Hojo.

As the other party said, if Ishii Gen continues to eat people indiscriminately, he will soon face a government purge.

No matter how powerful the ghost stories are, the state apparatus can always find a way to deal with them.

In the long run, joining Shinto University might actually be a pretty good thing...

Kiyokawa Kiri wondered if she had been admitted to university early without taking the entrance exam.

I'm speechless. I was originally planning to work hard, get into a good university, and see if I could achieve success in life.

Before I could even start studying seriously, I was specially recruited into a school by Noriko Hojo because of the ghost stories. Luckily, it was Shinto University, not some random junior college, otherwise I would have had a hard time accepting it.

"Alright, let's call it a day."

Noriko Hojo's mission is complete.

She clapped her hands and gave a kind smile.

"The university's construction is still in the planning stages. You can continue to do whatever you want during this time. I'll let you know later."

"I have a lot of things to take care of, so I won't chat with you any longer. I'll try to get you what you want later, don't worry... That's all for now, I'll be going now."

After saying that, she jumped down from the mountain of garbage made up of old desks and walked away.

Ishii Souichi couldn't help but glance at Kiyokawa Kiri and retorted, "So, we're really just joining like this?"

"Otherwise what?"

Kiyokawa Kiri's expression calmed down considerably; Ishii Souichi joining in was definitely a good thing.

Otherwise, Ishii Gen will cause him even bigger trouble sooner or later.

As for myself, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for now.
