Chapter 358 The True Face of Born Bad, Katie Hesitant to Speak

【what are you saying? 】

In the ghost domain, in the dark sea of ​​resentment, painful and distorted human faces emerged one after another, questioning Su Fan in unison.

[Don't you agree with our thoughts? Don't you also sympathize with our tragic experience? ]

[You who live under the sun are not qualified to talk about liberation. ]

Su Fan shook his head slightly, with no intention of talking to these mad evil spirits.

"There is no need to say more now that things have come to this."

Understanding is understanding, elimination is elimination, the two are not contradictory.

These innocent victims are indeed pitiful, but what is the fault of the people affected by them?

From the moment they tried to involve more people to share the misfortune and put it into practice, becoming accomplices, there was no chance of turning back.

For them, the ultimate relief is to be torn apart.

He uses his unique ghost space and lifelike illusions to make those harmed by the curse experience their previous experiences in full, and even normal people go crazy.

As the original and strongest curse, Kayako used this method and illusion to infect everyone with the virus called "resentment".

Since ordinary people cannot free themselves and end it, he might as well cut the chain.

In a space where there was no air flow, a strong wind suddenly blew up out of nowhere.

The numerous ghosts that spread out from the black sea of ​​resentment absorbed the power of the filthy resentment below and barely resisted being blown away, but their bodies staggered from side to side and finally disappeared into the black sea again.

Looking around, there was only a white shadow that stood motionless and solid as a mountain.

Coconut.

After enduring the torture, he still insisted on being himself and had no intention of integrating with them.

During this process, he did not even try to use his inherent terrifying power to resist or alleviate the pain.

Such a strong and unshakable will that even this sea of ​​resentment could not distort it!
Incomprehensible.

There are actually such people in the world.

In the strong wind, Kayako and Su Fan did not move.

Su Fan stared at the other person and saw a hint of confusion in those eyes that were filled with hatred and resentment.

But what followed the confusion was not thinking, but instead it ignited an even stronger murderous intent.

【Did you realize it? 】

When depravity becomes the norm, staying sober is a crime in the eyes of the depraved.

Su Fan clearly experienced the pain that Kayako experienced, but made a completely different choice.

This fundamentally denies the legitimacy of its existence.

Therefore, Kayako had not completely lost her ability to think, which was why she showed confusion for a moment just now, and after the confusion, it turned into strong murderous intent and malice.

There was no exchange of words between the two sides. The two pairs of eyes, one mad and one calm, were originally facing each other from a distance, but in the blink of an eye, they became close.
-
night.

"Anyone who enters a cursed house will be cursed and will die no matter where they are."

"Not only that, repeated contact with the cursed person will also be affected."

"And those who were at the scene of the murder were all killed without exception."

When Katie read out the information on the laptop, the faces of her uncle and aunt in front of her turned pale.

Combined with what Katie said before, the two realized that the terrifying female ghost in white had entangled all of them.

It has nothing to do with the soul and has nothing to do with faith.

That is pure malice without any reason.

"Calm down. I'm not telling you this to scare you. I'm telling you this to make you realize the current situation and cooperate with me in the next step."

Katie handed the computer to the two and asked them to carefully look through the many victims who had been caught up in the curse and died so far, as well as the relationships between them, in order to verify her previous statement.

"Let's go out for a while."

Katie called Tom and left the house with her uncle and aunt.

Before leaving, he did not forget to take a look at Emma's room upstairs.

This scene was also seen by Robert.

"You asked us to leave the house to get away from Emma, ​​right? What's going on here?"

When everyone stood still, Robert was the first to ask questions.

"Since uncle has asked, I will make it clearer."

Katie spoke bluntly.

"Emma and we do not agree on the same point. She cannot hear the following conversation."

"What do you mean? Do you have a problem with Emma?"

Angela immediately felt that Katie in front of her was hostile to Emma, ​​who was more valued than herself.

This also caused Tom, who was beside Katie, to sneer.

"We have lived together for so many years, but you still can't see her true face. Your eyes are useless, so donate them to someone in need."

Angela, who was humiliated in public, didn't even have time to scream before she was shocked by Katie's next words and became speechless.

"All the strange events that happened to you were planned by Emma."

Robert frowned, and suddenly his mind thought of the familiar figure he saw on the day of the accident. He trusted Katie's words a little more, but he still asked.

"Evidence, Katie. Since you have such an opinion, there must be evidence that leads you to it. Please explain it in detail."

"The evidence is right here..."

Katie immediately took out her cell phone and played a recording.

Everyone present listened patiently and soon learned the other party's true identity from his mouth.

He was the neighbor who shot and killed Emma's father, and was also Emma's nominal "savior."

"I asked my friend in the police station to find out the details of Emma's father's death a few years ago, and also found the contact information of the eyewitnesses at that time."

Tom's additional explanation answered the confusion in Angela and Robert's minds, allowing them to concentrate and continue listening to the conversation.

During the chat with Katie, the neighbor recalled a scene that happened a few years ago.

At that time, he was preparing to go to sleep at home when he heard gunshots coming from Emma's house.

Because of his affection for the cute girl next door and the nice single father, he took his gun and went to check the situation.

As a result, I saw an incredible scene.

The adult father actually broke open the bathroom door with a pistol in hand, intending to shoot his daughter who was hiding inside.

He persuaded the other party to put down the gun, but the other party did not do so and instead tried to shoot forcibly.

"At the time, I thought the other party was very aggressive or had taken drugs and was unconscious, but during this period, I kept recalling that scene and felt a strong sense of disobedience."

"There was no ferocity on his face. Instead, there was a sense of sadness and determination. He didn't look like a wicked man who had lost his mind at all..." "Perhaps there was an unexplainable secret... This thought kept tormenting me."

"If possible, please investigate again and solve the mystery so that I can have peace."

The person on the phone sounded tired, and it sounded like he had been tormented by that incident for a long time.

"Aunt Angela, do you think your brother would be the kind of evil person who would kill his own daughter?"

"No! He's not!"

Angela denied it decisively.

After losing his wife, the younger brother regarded Emma as the whole meaning of his life.

She is even more proud of her intelligent, well-behaved and sensible daughter and regards her as the apple of her eye.

"So what happened that made this father, who loved his daughter so much, go against his usual practice and kill her?"

"The answer lies in the information related to Emma at that time."

In elementary school, Emma won almost all the personal honors. The reason I say "almost" is that there was an encouragement award specially given to kind-hearted people, which did not fall on her, but instead went to a boy with mediocre grades.

However, shortly after winning the award, the boy drowned in a river near the school for unknown reasons. Before his death, someone witnessed Emma taking him away from the school.

At the time, the boy's parents were too sad to close the case, so the police did not investigate further.

"In addition, there was also the teacher who presented the award to the boy at that time."

"The investigation results showed that the other party died in an accident while driving, but scars of wasp stings were found on his body, and there was also a wasp's nest on the back seat of the car."

"Coincidentally, according to the neighbors, Emma's father was worried about a hornet's nest that had appeared on the roof of his house, and he was preparing to deal with it..."

As Katie spoke, she observed the expressions of Robert and Angela. Seeing that their faces changed drastically, she knew that they had guessed what she meant.

"It is indeed impossible for a father to be so cruel as to kill his own daughter, but what if his daughter appears to be well-behaved on the surface, but secretly is a cold-blooded murderer, and is even ready to kill her own father?"

"You mean she's even her own father... No, that's impossible..."

Angela retorted subconsciously.

"How is it impossible?"

Katie asked back.

"At the scene of Emma's father's death, there was a cup of tea with a large dose of sleeping pills, and there was a man's saliva on the cup."

"And the murder weapon, the pistol, had not only the man's fingerprints, but also Emma's fingerprints."

"It was only because the deceased had the habit of taking sleeping pills to fall asleep that it was ignored."

"The real situation should be that Emma's father found out what she had done and confronted Emma, ​​but it ended up making that cold-blooded beast want to kill his father."

"I used a large dose of sleeping pills to make him fall asleep and then killed him, but I missed the opportunity because I didn't aim well. I also thought that he had developed drug resistance due to long-term use of sleeping pills and woke up in the middle of the attack, so my gun was taken away!"

She stated the most reasonable inference in one breath, then took a deep breath and continued.

"Perhaps he was planning to kill Emma and then himself, but when he was about to end it all, he was caught by a neighbor who wanted to help..."

The truth that had been hidden in the darkness for many years was finally revealed through Katie's reasoning based on clues.

Angela, on the other hand, looked as if she had been struck by lightning and was in a trance.

Robert was horrified.

"In this case, my doubts can finally be solved. Everything in the garage must have been done by Emma."

“Before the lights went out, I seemed to see her figure flash by, but I didn’t think much of it.”

"Looking back now, it was probably me who insisted on sending her to full-time school, against her wishes..."

At that time, he planned this matter with Emma's own good in mind. After all, the full-time private school had excellent educational conditions. As long as she was admitted there, it was a sure thing that she would be admitted to an Ivy League university.

However, he did not expect that this action almost cost him his life.

Tom watched the scene with a sneer.

Two fools.

Katie, who really wanted to save you, was ignored by you. Instead, you cared so much about a heartless beast.

Now he's paralyzed and cursed, he deserves it!
Of course, while Tom cursed in his heart, he did not forget the important task he was responsible for. He stared closely at the house not far away, and at the same time used his body to block Angela and Robert to prevent them from seeing their unusual reactions and becoming suspicious.

Angela finally believed her husband's testimony and Katie's reasoning without any logical loopholes.

The latter has suffered a severe mental blow and now looks depressed.

"I believe what you said is true... But what does this have to do with those evil spirits?"

"Could you please explain it to us."

The "please" at the end of the sentence represents Angela's completely collapsed worldview and helpless psychological state.

Katie didn't want to see her aunt like this, but in fact, the truth that was to come would stab her heart twice.

After thinking it over, she asked Tom to take Angela away to talk to Uncle Robert alone.

With the previous preparation, Katie can finally state the conclusion directly.

"Emma is carrying a ghost baby in her belly. That's her way of protecting herself!"

The successive shocks had almost made Robert numb, but Katie's second half of the sentence still puzzled him.

"Why……"

Katie opened her mouth but stopped herself from speaking.

At this moment, she finally understood Su Fan.

Whenever I asked the latter something, he would always respond with "This is too troublesome to explain".

It was okay once or twice, but over time, Katie couldn't help but start to feel that the other party might be trying to fool her.

Now that she has become the one who knows the important information, she understands how much time and effort it takes to explain the twists and turns.

She was already dry-mouthed from letting her uncle and aunt know Emma's true face. If she added this to the conversation, she might talk until dawn.

As the night deepened, Katie's sense of crisis grew stronger.

The dark night is when evil spirits and ghosts are at their strongest, so it is destined not to be a peaceful night.

Katie reached out and touched the talisman in her arms.

The surface of the paper is not delicate, but rather has a rough, frosted feel.

It seems to make a rustling sound when you touch it, which makes you feel particularly reassured.

The evil-suppressing talisman given by Su Fan was still working and was not completely destroyed.

Although Katie doesn't have much real talent, she still has basic vision.

The talisman is in very good condition now, with almost no loss of power. It won't be a big problem if it is used to save your life.

Feeling confident, she let out a breath.

"I don't have time to explain this in detail. I hope you can cooperate with me in whatever I do. At the same time, you can persuade Aunt Angela not to interfere. Can you do this?"
