Horror/Fear Anime: Starting with a Tomie Hairstyle

Chapter 131 Miyamoto Takeshi's Invitation, Immortality

"Feel sorry."

The woman who entered the elevator smiled apologetically, glanced at the elevator buttons, and didn't press them.

Jiuzhi Che ignored it.

The woman, however, glanced at Jiu Zhiche several times, the kind of glances that are furtive.

Jiuzhiche usually doesn't discriminate based on appearance, but he couldn't stand that a toad was ugly and was staring at him with greedy eyes.

The woman's face was flat and short, as if she had been slapped hard. Her nose was short and her mouth protruded. Imagine the shape of a toad's face, and you'll know what she looked like.

So Jiuzhiche glanced at her indifferently, his words carrying a veiled warning.

"Miko, we're here, aren't we leaving?"

The man heard the elevator doors open, but his wife didn't move. He asked her curiously.

"Here it comes, here it comes."

The woman came to her senses and quickly helped the man out.

After Jiuzhiche reached the corridor, he noticed that there were no surveillance cameras, which put him at ease.

In the current era, it is generally only a few high-end apartments that install surveillance cameras; most residential buildings do not.

In room 1404, Jiuzhi Che stopped and then dialed the phone number of Nakamura Sugio.

"Beep~"

The phone rang in the room.

"Rustle~ rustle~"

The "Strong" template increases Jiu Zhiche's physique and also enhances his hearing, allowing him to hear subtle sounds in the room, though those sounds are rather strange.

Jiuzhi Che hung up the phone, took out a wire, and used it last in the teacher's office at Heshan University.

After this period of intermittent training, his lock-picking speed has become much faster than before.

"Click~"

Hearing the sound of the lock turning, Jiu Zhiche pushed the door open and entered.

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.

"Bang!"

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 this long with the curse of 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, it must have been 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 stunned: "What...what are you doing! I'm calling the police! You robber!"

Jiuzhi Che laughed: "Miyamoto Takeshi, could you have made 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 mannerisms are also imitated perfectly. How did you discover that?"

"When an ordinary person sees a masked person break 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 did you want to find me?"

"Someone took my diary, I should at least see who it was."

He said meaningfully.

Let's see who ruined his good deed.

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

"Indeed, a promising young man. For years, I've 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 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 be a pleasant surprise."

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, the eerie 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?
