Chapter 343 You won't die, because...
That night.
After a thorough examination of Kayako's physical condition, Jiuzhi Che came to a terrible conclusion.
Physically healthy, in high spirits, and without any injury.
It's laughable to think about it, how could that be possible?
Kayako used the power of the curse, and she gets headaches every time. This time it lasted for several days, so it's impossible that she didn't have any physical problems.
Some things cannot be detected by mental power.
After Jiuzhiche understood this, he knew it wasn't Xiaoheiqian.
Xiao Hei wouldn't repeatedly do things that annoyed him.
"Che, you haven't agreed to what I just said."
Kayako clutched Kyuji Che's clothes with both hands, stubbornly continuing to beg for his permission.
After she said "kill me with your own hands," Jiu Zhiche did not respond.
Looking into her hopeful eyes, Jiu Zhiche believed she was sincere, but...
"I won't agree."
Kayako was visibly disappointed.
"Because you won't die, as long as I'm here."
Jiu Zhiche's gaze was intense and exceptionally resolute.
Just kidding. The Ju-on isn't even fully unleashed yet and it's already this powerful. If Kayako were to die and the present and future timelines were to converge, wouldn't the complete Kayako turn the world upside down?
Although she didn't get the answer she wanted, Kyuji Che's firm attitude comforted Kayako's heart.
She thought, if Che doesn't abandon her, she doesn't deserve to die.
Seeing Kayako's tearful eyes, Jiuzhiche knew she had listened, so he hugged her and continued to use his mental power to probe the depths of her mind.
After a while.
A cold glint flashed in Jiuzhi Che's eyes, and he turned to speak softly to Kayako:
"I will use my mental energy to repair your mental state. If you feel unwell, please let me know, okay?"
"Uh-huh!"
Kayako's headaches were initially unexplained by Kyuji Che, who even concluded that she was healthy. However, no matter how much he tried to cover it up, there would eventually be a flaw.
That was a fleeting black shadow in Kayako's mind. Because it was not in a fixed position, it disappeared quickly, but it could not completely disappear. Jiuzhi Che still managed to capture a trace of it.
With his mind completely absorbed, Jiuzhiche struck with lightning speed, crushing the shadow. At the same time, he finally "saw" Kayako's current state.
There was a light in her mind, like an onion, with each layer of its outer skin constantly being peeled away, and it was fragile, with more and more pieces breaking apart.
Jiuzhi Che imbued it with his spiritual power, gradually helping "Onion" to return to its original state.
After the repairs were completed, Jiuzhiche's mental energy was almost depleted.
Unfortunately, a strange resistance was preventing him from continuing the repair process, requiring him to expend even more energy.
Seeing the fine sweat on Kayako's forehead as she slept, Jiuzhiche went to the bathroom to get a towel to wipe her forehead, then carried her into the room and put her on the bed.
"Meow~"
Xiao Hei jumped out at the right moment, trying to rub against Jiu Zhiche affectionately.
Jiuzhiche took a step back. "Xiao Hei, protect her."
"Snap—"
The door was closed.
Xiao Hei remained motionless in place for a long time.
-
Shuangyi's grandfather has been buried.
After dragging on for almost a month, it's finally over.
It's all because Grandpa refused to leave; his soul even came out and made its own coffin.
They said the previous coffins were no good; they were uncomfortable, unsuitable, and simply not good in any way.
He only left after he had made a coffin that satisfied him.
Shuangyi goes to school during the day, keeps vigil during holidays, and has to face Yuan's torment at night. She can't even use curses normally, so her energy and spirit have declined significantly.
My dark circles are worse than before.
Now, he only dares to secretly put a nail in his mouth at school, because Yuan wouldn't allow it outside.
"Damn it, are you blind?!"
A boy bumped into Shuangyi and immediately started cursing viciously.
Distracted, Oshikiri Tetsu bumped into someone and quickly bowed in apology: "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention."
"If apologies were enough, what would be the point of cursing?" Souichi spat out a nail at Oshikiri Tetsuya as he walked away, not daring to spit it on anyone, for fear that Yukito would think he had caused trouble if he found out.
"I'm still not satisfied."
Shuang's eyes darted around, and an idea came to her.
After school, Shuangyi sneaked out to the woods she used to frequent.
"Thump! Thump!"
Carefully hammering the nail, along with the little scarecrow, into the tree, he muttered under his breath, "I curse you, I curse you, I curse you to break your hand!"
Accompanied by rhythmic tapping sounds, the curse is about to take shape!
"Oh! So it was you who destroyed my tree!"
A sharp shout rang out, and an old man carrying a hunting rifle charged menacingly towards Shuangyi. "Raise your filthy hands! I've been waiting for you for over a month, and I've finally caught you!"
Shuangyi was startled and threw down the hammer before running away.
"Bang----!"
Sand splashed out from the nearby ground, forming a small pit.
Shuangyi was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.
I never expected them to actually fire!
"It wasn't me, I didn't do it!"
"I saw it with my own eyes, it can't be fake!"
The old man smashed Shuangyi down with the butt of his gun, and Shuangyi's eyes rolled back as he lost consciousness.
When Shuangyi woke up, he was overjoyed—he was alive!
But the next second his smile vanished. Looking down at the towering forest on the horizon, he was dumbfounded.
He was now buried in the ground, with only his head sticking out, and he felt increasingly unable to breathe.
As he is compressed by the soil, the air in his chest cavity will gradually decrease, eventually causing him to suffocate and die!
Shuangyi panicked, "Help! Brother! Help! Yuan, help!"
His voice was hoarse from shouting, but only a cold gaze swept over him from a short distance away.
Shuangyi never imagined that the secluded spot in the woods he had specially chosen would become his burial place!
"Squeak~"
The sound of fallen leaves being crushed underfoot was faint, yet it was quite jarring in the quiet forest.
Shuangyi, who had been tilting her head to conserve her energy, quickly raised her head upon hearing the sound.
"It's you!"
-
"alright?"
"Alright, alright."
Shuangyi nodded quickly.
Jiuzhiche asked, "So, weaken, eliminate, or strip away—which do you think is feasible?"
Shuang subconsciously shook her head: "How is that possible! They can't even do that!"
Realizing she had gotten a bit carried away, Souichi quickly explained, "The curse on her is the strongest I've ever seen, and... it seems to have the characteristic of being immortal. Perhaps... suppressing it is the most effective method."
Souichi claims to be the child of the curse. In fact, he has a deep understanding of curses and has unique means of perception. He only needed to learn about Kayako for a short time to understand the situation of Ju-on.
Jiuzhiche sought him out because of his understanding of the curse.
Shuangyi had considered the idea of suppressing Jiuzhiche, and sealing was the best option. However, the Ju-on curse had no physical form and was invisible. Every time it clashed with Jiuzhiche, it would run away very quickly.
Even if it did have a physical form, it's uncertain whether it could be successfully sealed after being captured.
Suppressing it with mental power is also feasible; at least the light sphere in Kayako's mind broke down more slowly, but it's not very efficient.
Shuangyi slapped her forehead: "I've got it! We can use a curse to suppress a curse, that way the threat will be much smaller!"
He had his own reasons for being so eager to help.
If he can help Jiuzhiche, then he can take the opportunity to suggest postponing the wedding with Yuan. Jiuzhiche should be willing to put in a good word for him, right?
