Chapter 428 Can you weld your daily life to your body?
"I've recently had a sudden realization and am determined to stop indulging in this decadent lifestyle. Don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary."
After sending text messages to the Tomies who knew his number, Jiuzhi Che put down his phone and opened the forum.
If he continues like this, he's likely to completely fall into depravity.
The taste of depravity is exhilaratingly addictive, and it also gnaws at the mind. If one could, it wouldn't be so bad to be depraved for a lifetime.
But the future is long, there's no need to be so attached every day.
So, are we not going to do anything else?
Let's change the title to "The Imperial Book: One Hundred and Eight Ways to Subdue the Strange".
Jiuzhiche carefully read through the help requests on the forum.
After One-Punch Tomie's Great Purge, there were far fewer monsters, but the world is so big that many people die every moment, and the number of newly emerging monsters is also not small.
Before the wall "fluctuates" to complete the passage, Jiuzhiche will clear out another wave of anomalies.
Finally, the focus shifted to the strange events in a small town called Kuchiki Town and the Shencheng Mansion.
The former refers to the scarecrow in the town of Rottenwood that, after a girl died, grew a face that resembled the girl's when she was alive, and became more and more similar.
Instead of panicking, people were reminded of their loved ones by the sight of the scarecrows, and more and more people followed the example of the girl's father by placing scarecrows in front of their relatives' graves.
As a result, those scarecrows really did look more and more like the living people they used to be.
Over time, the cemetery in Rottenwood Town became filled with scarecrows.
The person who posted the message was terrified because he happened to be passing by the cemetery when he saw a scarecrow baring its teeth at him...
The poster of the latter, Shencheng Mansion, said he had just resigned from the mansion.
His job was particularly strange because the mansion's owner's son, Xiaofang, suffered from an extremely rare and bizarre disease.
Phantom limb pain is common in people who have had limbs amputated, and they often feel pain in the area where the limb was removed.
It's like having no hands at all, yet feeling pain in your hands.
Xiao Fang had never had a limb amputated, yet he felt pain everywhere. The key point was that his pain would affect a specific area of the mansion.
The poster's job was to go to the designated spot in the mansion to scratch and massage Xiaofang when she felt pain, in order to relieve the pain.
Xiao Fang's body seems to have some connection with the mansion.
It was just a weird job, that's what the poster initially thought.
As a result, his body began to hurt for no reason, and the examination could not find the cause. Feeling very strange, he immediately resigned, but his health did not improve at all.
He heard that the ghost story forum is very popular, and that the forum owner and administrators are really capable people, so he came here for help.
Jiuzhiche knew the original story; the former was "The Scarecrow," and the latter was "The Phantom Pain Mansion."
They are all short comics, and as usual, the cause and the result are left unresolved.
After deciding to handle these two matters, Jiu Zhiche set off immediately.
Rotten Wood Town is closer to him, so he'll go there first.
Jiuzhi Che brought along a punch-style Tomie, treating it as a trip.
The little girl Tomie is participating in a game competition and has been practicing the game like crazy lately.
Jiu Zhiche told her not to cause trouble, but she still looked annoyed. "Ah Che, it's always someone else who's going to cause trouble, not me. But as long as I stand there, I'll attract everyone's attention. If trouble comes knocking on my door, it's not my fault."
"I know you'll not back down, but you won't cause trouble either. I trust you to know your limits."
These words soothed the little girl Tomie, who scoffed, "Hmph."
Sadako is in talks for a supporting role in a TV series and will be joining the production soon. She has taken a long leave of absence from school.
Black Sadako went to the game competition with the little girl Tomie. The two of them disliked each other. According to Sadako, they had even arranged to fight.
As for the result, Sadako asked Kuroe Sadako, but she wouldn't tell.
The young Tomie remained silent on the matter.
Sadako guessed it would be a draw.
Now that they're competing in the same game, they're bound to have to beat each other in some other way.
Kayako's life is equally fulfilling. She continues to work out and recently enrolled in flower arranging, tea ceremony, and cosplay clubs, among other things.
She also made new friends, and every day after meeting them, she would share her experiences with Jiuzhiche on her phone.
According to her own account, every time she observes an anomaly, something strange always happens in the end, so she continues to observe and tells Jiuzhiche whenever something strange appears.
Jiu Zhiche was very supportive. Now that they had their own things to do, he wouldn't be bothered by their scheduling conflicts.
He had almost made a schedule for himself.
In short, Jiuzhiche embarked on a short journey to deal with the strange occurrences.
Rotten Wood Town.
As soon as Jiuzhiche entered the town, he saw a large group of scarecrows in the distance, all of which had their faces facing the sun.
I don't know if it was placed there intentionally, or for some other reason.
Tomie, his mind filled with the desire to smash the haunting monster with a single punch, headed straight for the cemetery.
Jiuzhiche pulled her back, "Don't be impulsive. Dealing with things before you understand them is not a comprehensive approach."
He didn't completely underestimate minor anomalies just because he had destroyed Hellstar. While rule-based anomalies were few, they weren't nonexistent.
It would be too embarrassing to actually lose in such a situation.
Of course, no one has died in Rottingwood Town recently, so there's no rush to deal with the strange occurrences.
"Just treat this as a trip for sightseeing."
Jiuzhi Che and Yiquan Fujiang found the best hotel in town to stay in.
"If it weren't for you here, I wouldn't be able to stay here for even a second longer."
Ichiken Tomie rolled her eyes at Kyushu Che.
She has always had high standards when it comes to material things, so staying in a hotel like this was really too much for her.
"Is this alright now?"
Jiuzhiche activated his mental power, forming a thin, imperceptible membrane that covered the entire room and furniture.
Tomie nodded in satisfaction: "That's more like it."
Kuchiki Town is unremarkable in every way, with few tourist attractions, except for a ramen shop that claims to have been open for decades.
Jiuzhi Che finished the ramen that Ichiken Tomie had left over, and was about to leave when he heard people chatting nearby.
"Xiao Mao died a terrible death. His body was swollen and bloated. His corpse lay there for at least two days and was already rotting."
"Alas, poor Xiao Mao's mother, she just found a new husband and then lost her beloved son."
"I heard that Setsuko was going to plant scarecrows, but her husband objected, thinking it would disturb Shigeru."
"Heh, even I wouldn't want my dead family members to be placed on a scarecrow. What kind of creature would that be? A monster?"
"Don't speak too definitively, you haven't lost your son."
"I don't even have a son, where am I supposed to die!"
The two started laughing and joking.
The cemetery in Rottingwood Town is called a cemetery, but it's really just a place where everyone tacitly agrees to bury the dead. There's no standardized management or administrators.
Bored, Ichiken Tomie lazily grabbed Kyuji Che's hand and yawned as they walked.
Jiuzhiche wants to be a detective, so let him be.
Otherwise, following her approach, she could have simply dug up these graves and found the strange thing.
Jiuzhiche looked around and discovered that each scarecrow was imbued with a part of a human soul.
There are pure souls, and there are souls filled with malice.
