The lights were on inside, and almost the instant he entered, something lunged at him.

Jiuzhiche instinctively raised his foot and kicked, sending the thing flying and crashing onto the living room sofa. Its body convulsed from the pain, and it couldn't stand up for a moment.

Upon closer inspection, it was Nakamura Sugio, but something seemed off about him.

After the pain subsided somewhat, Nakamura Sugio rolled over, but did not get up. Instead, he lay prone on the ground, crawling forward with his hands and feet. His eyes were vacant and his mouth opened and closed, as if... he was hungry?

The aura emanating from him was also strange, unlike a curse or something supernatural.

"boom!"

After kicking the unfortunate fellow over, Jiu Zhiche tied him to the stone table leg with cable ties. He couldn't speak at all now, only making rustling sounds in his throat, so Jiu Zhiche wasn't afraid of him shouting.

Jiuzhiche glanced around his house, his gaze finally settling on the computer in the room.

The computer also contains surveillance footage of the diary.

Beside it, a line of words was clearly visible on the table: I found you.

Jiuzhiche chuckled, deliberately making a fuss.

It seems that Miyamoto Takeshi has indeed come knocking.

Having survived for so long despite being cursed with decay, it's probably not human.

Since you're here, you should come out sooner rather than later. You're an old man; you must have a lot of spiritual energy, right?

Jiuzhi Che turned off the computer and went to the lobby. He used a purification spell on Nakamura Sugio, whose eyes showed a struggle.

He muttered to himself, "I'm a cockroach..."

No wonder it was crawling on the ground before, was it a cockroach?

Another purification process, and Nakamura Sugio fainted.

Seeing this, Jiuzhiche took out a leather mask that he hadn't used in a long time from his chest bag and put it on.

This was the same one I used when I beat up Tetsuro Mukaida.

He then slapped him twice, and Nakamura Sugio shuddered and woke up.

"Who...who are you?"

Jiuzhi Che had originally intended to ask about the details of the strange occurrence that had happened to Nakamura Sugio, but he changed his mind now.

Three more slaps landed in quick succession, leaving Nakamura Sugio completely stunned: "What...what are you doing! I'm calling the police! You robber!"

Jiuzhi Che laughed: "Miyamoto Takeshi, do you want to make your act even more convincing?"

Upon hearing this, Nakamura Sugio's demeanor suddenly changed, becoming composed. He smiled and said, "I consider my aura to be perfect, and my behavior is also imitated perfectly. How did you discover that?"

"When an ordinary person sees a masked person breaking into their home, their first reaction is to give in and beg for mercy, prioritizing their own safety. But you asked me who I was and even dared to threaten to call the police, which is illogical."

"I see."

The other party looked thoughtful, and then came another big taunt.

But this time, Miyamoto Takeshi broke free of the cable ties in the blink of an eye and raised his hand to block—

It wasn't blocked, because Jiuzhiche's other hand slapped out with lightning speed.

This slap caused Miyamoto Takeshi to stumble and nearly fall to the ground.

His face darkened for a moment.

Seeing that he had regained his calm and amiable demeanor, Jiu Zhiche couldn't help but make some guesses.

He seems to be a two-faced scoundrel; this kind of person is the most insidious.

"Young man, since you know me, why are you so hostile towards me?"

"It's nothing, looking at you is like having my eyes polluted, you must be very ugly."

Miyamoto Takeshi's face froze. He had been smiling the whole time, and he hadn't even gotten angry when the other person slapped him. Why was this young man being so rude to him?

Jiuzhiche suddenly asked, "Why do you want to find me?"

"Someone took my diary, I have to see who it was."

He said meaningfully.

Let's see who ruined his good deed.

Jiuzhiche: "Now you see it, is it okay?"

"Indeed, he is a promising young man. Over the years, I have been dedicated to finding a successor to pursue a possibility together: the possibility of immortality!"

His tone was full of fervor and anticipation, and he looked at Jiuzhiche with admiration.

"You were able to take down Zalok and Takada Daizan, which shows you're quite capable. I'm interested..."

"You don't even dare to show your true face, yet you want to take me as your successor? How laughable!"

"It's just a bit more convenient in this body. I'll be coming to this city in a week, and then I'll show you a whole new world!"

"Hehe, I hope it will catch my eye."

After Jiuzhi Che finished speaking, Nakamura Sugio's head lolled to the side and he fainted.

Immortality?

He is immortal, thank you.

As for Miyamoto Takeshi's purpose, it's still unclear, but that's not important. All that matters is knowing that he has ill intentions.

Only after seeing that Nakamura Sugio's breath and life force had returned to normal did Kyuji Tetsu leave.

There's no need to ask what happened. This old thing can possess people and make Nakamura think he's a cockroach. He can probably even tamper with memories or something. Asking is pointless.

The next day, Jiuzhi Che sent a message to Nakamura, telling him that he no longer needed to monitor the diary and sending him a fairly generous reward.

Nakamura Sugio didn't dare ask any more questions, thanked him profusely, accepted the money, and went to change houses.

Although he didn't quite remember what happened, a strange feeling lingered in his mind; he might have... encountered something unclean.

......

"Really? Leilia, you're coming back? Just temporarily? That's good too. It's been three years since we last saw each other after graduating from high school."

Sadako was being pulled to the restroom by Kazuko Morinaka when she received a phone call. It turned out to be from her good friend from middle school, Lelia.

Leilia moved in a hurry, and Sadako didn't have time to ask about the situation. Leilia also changed her phone number and email address, which caused them to lose contact for three years.

She was a little happy to see her friend again.

Then, thinking of the truth that Jiu Zhiche had told her, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

She can be happy to see her friends, but... what about her?

What about her younger sister, whom she only recently learned of?

Chapter 132 Risa, who has lost her memory, is visited by Kayako.

"What? Amnesia?"

Jiu Zhiche seemed to hear the beginning of a romance novel.

Kayako had just told him that Chiba Risa had missed two days of school, and it turned out that she had fainted on the street and was taken to the hospital by a kind person.

The hospital diagnosed her with amnesia.

The news reached Takagi-sensei's ears, and Takagi-sensei told Kayako, because Chiba Risa still remembered Kayako and her parents, but had forgotten many other things, including many things about school.

So you want to visit her.

"Yes, Jiuzhi, can you come with me?"

"of course."

Jiuzhi Che had felt that the name Risa sounded familiar before, but some of the main characters in the Itō series had the same name and no surname, so he couldn't remember it for a moment.

But when he heard about amnesia, he remembered it.

Kayako gave a happy little puff.

Jiuzhiche smiled slightly and patted Kayako's head.

Now, she has less and less of a gloomy aura about her, and in his presence, she is a lovely girl who doesn't hide herself at all.

Kayako squinted her eyes in enjoyment.

I really want to roll around on Che's abs~~~

Remembering the photos she had looked at countless times, Kayako's eyes darkened, and a hint of red seemed to flash across them.

If only we could take a few thousand more photos.

On the podium.

Ms. Takagi regained her composure and inevitably noticed the two people whispering below.

"Ahem, pay attention in class, don't daydream!"

Kayako felt the gaze and, who had originally intended to secretly hold Kyuichi Che's hand, withdrew after the teacher's words.

As a student, she still had a natural fear of her teachers.

However, the main reason was that the surrounding classmates were looking over.

She was a little shy.

I'm also a little excited.

Everyone has seen how special Che is to her, right?

It belongs to her alone, and it's special.

Jiuzhi Che withdrew his hand, looked ahead, and keenly noticed that Teacher Takagi glanced at an empty seat.

That's Tomie's spot.

No way, Takagi-sensei has fallen for him?

No, that's not right either. He didn't seem to have that kind of hysterical madness.

Shaking his head, Jiu Zhiche looked out the window, where there was a grove of towering trees.
