Chapter 125 Dead, then alive again, the missing him
The Amano family hasn't had any guests in a long time.
Amano Kosei stared blankly at the moldy tea leaves in the tea canister.
Finally, he poured a glass of plain water and placed it in front of Jiuzhiche.
Opposite Jiuzhi Che was Amano Xiaoli, who was staring intently at him. If you looked closely, you could see a tiny black dot, the size of a pinhead, in her white pupils—that was her original black pupil.
"Now that you've seen it, there's no need for me to hide it anymore."
Jiuzhi Che's reaction was very calm. Amano Xiaojing vaguely sensed something, so she told her sister everything that had happened to her.
It wasn't until now that she found out who the boy her sister had been talking about was.
What a small world.
"Xiao Li is under a curse... Not only are her dreams getting longer and longer, but it's even affecting her body. Gradually, Xiao Li's body is changing in ways I never imagined..."
When Amano Kosei was speaking, Amano Kori tried to crawl over and hug her lover.
That was a nightmare that lasted for a century.
She survived a plane crash and was stranded on an island infested with giant insects. There, she met Jiu Zhiche, who was also in distress. They supported each other through countless life-and-death ordeals and eventually became partners.
Even in their dreams, they merged with insects, gaining lifespans beyond that of ordinary people. Initially, they struggled to survive; later, the couple worked together to rule the eighteen major insect islands; and finally, they lived a blissful life, happily brewing sauce every day…
"What a terrible experience," Jiuzhiche said, feigning a sigh, though he was actually quite disheartened.
I don't know if Amano Kori received the message that he could temporarily delay the curse, but it's too late to think about it now.
To see a young girl in the prime of her life turned into such a horrific state is nothing short of torture.
"To be honest, I'm quite interested in strange events. Over time, I've developed some special abilities. I'd like to try them out on Xiaoli to see if they can be of any help."
Amano Kosei recalled the website that Soga Keiji designed back then, which was called the Ghost Stories Forum, I think. Oh, I see.
Coupled with the boy's sincere eyes and upright tone, Amano Kosei lowered her guard somewhat.
"Then I'll leave it to you. If... it doesn't work, don't blame yourself..."
Amano Kosei choked up for a moment, then quickly wiped her cheeks. "Sorry, I got a little emotional."
Jiuzhiche remained silent.
Regardless of what that vibrant green flame of life is all about, at least Amano Kosei is more human than some other people.
You could tell she was exhausted. Putting everything else aside, she was just an older sister who was worried about her younger sister.
Amano Kori had been unable to contain herself for a long time. If her older sister hadn't been holding her hand, she would have dragged Jiuzhi Che back to the room to mate.
Seeing Jiu Zhiche move closer, she broke free from her sister's hand and reached out to kiss him—
Jiuzhiche blocked it with his hand.
What did she experience in her dream? Her personality changed completely!
Jiuzhiche, rather helplessly, said, "Purify!"
Amano Kori's body jolted, and she fell headfirst to the ground.
Jiu Zhiche helped her up and put her on the sofa.
Amano Kosei, who had reached out but couldn't grab her sister in time, gave him a grateful look.
"She's alright, I'm trying to cleanse her of the curse."
Jiuzhi Che explained.
Previously, while cleaning up videotapes at the police station, my mental energy was almost completely depleted, but after more than an hour of recovery, I have recovered about half of my mental energy.
It's okay for dealing with the Long Dream Curse on a person.
Two more purifications were dropped.
Amano Kori started covering her forehead and shaking it incessantly.
The bulging veins on her body looked extremely frightening.
"Xiao Li..." Amano Xiao Jing wanted to go forward but was afraid of disturbing Jiu Zhi Che, so she could only stand to the side with her body tense and her fingers dug into the sofa.
After the sixth purification, the changes became even more obvious.
The gray-black mist around her body dissipated to almost nothing, and the veins on her skin began to writhe, disappearing one by one like blocks in a match-3 puzzle.
Her head shrank rapidly until it returned to its normal size.
Amano Kosei loosened her grip on the sofa, as if a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders.
Jiuzhiche felt a slight sense of relief.
In the original work, Tetsuro Mukoda went through a similar phase.
In his dream that night, time stretched to hundreds or even thousands of years, and his appearance began to become strange and bizarre, as if he were evolving in a certain direction of future human evolution.
But if this is considered an evolution, it can only be said that aesthetics have regressed by tens of thousands of years.
Amano Kori was still unconscious, while Amano Kosei kept crying tears of joy.
Jiuzhiche kept a tight rein on himself; he wouldn't allow himself to overexert his mental energy, especially when facing outsiders.
"You can come to me again every now and then to cleanse her of the curse, because the root of the curse has not been eliminated."
He left his phone number.
"Then can't we think of a way...?"
Jiuzhi Che shook his head. "Miss Amano, I was just about to ask you something. Your aura is strange, but it doesn't seem like you've been cursed. Can you tell me what happened?"
He added, "I'm very interested in the ins and outs of some bizarre events."
He figured it out?
Amano Kosei hadn't expected the other person to be so blunt. She sighed, "You helped Kori, so there's nothing to hide from you, but if people find out, they'll probably think I'm crazy..."
"I've already died once..."
As she spoke, Jiu Zhiche silently lowered his hand.
If the other party is sensible, there's no need to force them.
He meant coercion.
The story is not complicated; in fact, it's rather inexplicable.
Because even the person involved was completely baffled.
At that time, after a woman licked his face, Soga Keiji's condition continued to worsen, and his body continued to ulcerate.
Amano Kosei saw it all and felt the pain in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.
Watching her beloved boyfriend grow weaker day by day was incredibly agonizing. Moreover, the pain he suffered every day was even greater, a double torment of both body and mind.
But while she waited for Qi Er to be freed, Qi Er suddenly mustered all his strength and said that he wanted to go back to his hometown, that something there was calling to him...
Amano Kosei accompanied Keiji back to the countryside. Before they even reached home, a man carrying a long sword on his back suddenly appeared and stabbed her in the stomach. The last thing she saw was Keiji and the man struggling together...
When she woke up again, Qi Er and the man were gone, and the wound on her stomach had miraculously healed.
She searched for ten whole days in that rural area, but couldn't find any trace of Qi Er.
That's all she went through.
After listening, Jiu Zhiche had a general idea in his mind.
The man was a Resurrector. Soga Keiji won and became the new Resurrector, using the Resurrector's Sword to revive Amano Kosei.
The Resurrector's Sword injects the life energy circulating around into the body of the dead, thus reviving them. However, in Jiuzhiche's opinion, the revived person is probably still different from the one before death.
After bidding farewell to Amano Kosei, Kyuichi Tsuyoshi returned home.
As it was getting late, he decided to go find Reiko Asakawa again tomorrow; she should still have a videotape.
Near the Twin Towers, a pair of eyes quietly watched Jiu Zhiche's back.
Without stopping, Jiu Zhiche entered the apartment, walked to the second floor, then went to the window in the corridor, opened it, and lightly jumped out.
He grabbed the windowsill with his backhand, his body suspended in the air, then pushed off the wall with his feet, using the momentum to land steadily.
He could jump directly from a height of five or six meters without getting hurt, but he would use the momentum to avoid damaging his shoes.
Jiuzhiche felt a strong sense of familiarity with that gaze from the shadows.
