Chapter 75 The Cursed Book?
The next day, at ten o'clock in the morning.

The news of the attempted suicide of Professor Kenshichi Takebayashi of the School of Translation spread throughout Waseda University.

When I heard that Professor Kenshichi Takebayashi, who always had a kind face, would choose to end his life by taking poison in his own home——

All the teachers and students of Waseda University who heard the news were stunned:

"Professor Takebayashi would actually commit suicide?!?!?"

"How could Professor Takebayashi commit suicide?!?!"

You know, whether it's a teacher, a professor, a leader or a colleague, Professor Takebayashi Kenchi usually gives everyone the feeling that
Just very kind, refined, and gentle.

He is like a pure scholar, ignorant of worldly affairs, but with things he loves and firm ideals!

It is hard to imagine that a professor who is usually so cheerful and kind in the eyes of everyone would actually...
Would you choose to commit suicide at home?

Things developed very quickly, and before the morning class was over -

The news that Takebayashi Kenchi committed suicide by taking poison had spread throughout the campus.

Zhulin Xianqi committed suicide at 4:44 in the morning, when he sent a farewell message in the work group:
【Farewell, gentlemen.】

Coincidentally, Professor Ito from the same translation school also happened to be awake and was also working overtime in his study at home.

When Professor Ito saw this message, he immediately felt something was wrong. He first sent a series of messages to Takebayashi Kenshichi:

"Zhulin-san, are you okay?"

"Zhulin-san, please reply to my message!"

"Mulberry in the Bamboo Forest"

The phone call is not connected.

Sent a message, no reply.

Then I looked at the farewell message from Takebayashi Kenchi [Goodbye, everyone] on my phone.

Professor Ito suddenly felt that the situation was not good!

Without any hesitation, Professor Ito immediately called Mrs. Takebayashi Kenshichi:
"Mrs. Matsumoto, hurry up, wake up!"

"Professor Zhulin may be in danger now"

It was this phone call from Professor Ito that saved Kenshichi Takebayashi's life!
Mrs. Matsumoto got up from the bed and ran to the study room, only to find out that -

Takebayashi Kenchi has fallen down beside the desk?

Next to his hands were two empty bottles of sleeping pills.

Sleeping pills are sedatives. Most people may take half a pill or a pill before going to bed and fall into a deep sleep quickly.

But this Zhulin Xianqi actually swallowed two cans at once?

How many pieces does this take?

This can really cost someone’s life!!!
At 4:44 in the morning, Takebayashi Kenchi swallowed sleeping pills and collapsed beside his desk.

At 5:10 in the morning, Matsumoto arrived at the study in time——

Kenchi Takebayashi was found attempting suicide!
Five thirty in the morning.

Ambulances and medical vehicles arrived at Zhulin's home one after another and sent Zhulin Xianqi, who attempted suicide, to another hospital for treatment!

After a day and night of emergency treatment by medical staff, including gastric lavage, rescue, and intensive care in the ICU,
Finally, with the joint efforts of all medical staff——

Kenchi Takebayashi saved his life!

No one understood, and was even very puzzled.

Why did Zhulin Xianqi, who had a happy family and a happy life, suddenly change in just one night?
Big change in temperament?

In terms of social status, Takebayashi Kenshichi was a professor at Waseda University. He was not an upper-class person in Japanese society, but at least he was
Is that respectable?
In terms of personal life, Kenshichi Takebayashi has a beautiful wife. He and his wife, Mrs. Matsumoto, are very happy and loving. Although they have no children, their married life can be considered happy? No one can figure it out——

Why is Professor Zhulin, who is usually gentle and kind to others?
He actually chose to commit suicide?!?!
Although after a night of rescue, Takebayashi Kenchi was out of danger, he is now
He is still in the intensive care unit of the hospital, unconscious and unclear.

The police station and school leaders went to Professor Takebayashi's home together to investigate why Takebayashi Kenshichi was behaving out of character.

Was this suicide or homicide?

Is this my own will or is there some other hidden story behind this?
Accompanied by the police, the school leaders went to Zhulin's home and tried to investigate the reasons why Zhulin Kenchi attempted suicide.

To everyone's surprise,

Everything is normal at Zhulin's home.

There was no indication that before this night, Takebayashi Kenshichi had ever contemplated attempting suicide.

Just when everyone was wondering why a person who was apparently fine would suddenly and inexplicably choose to commit suicide
Professor Ito, a close friend of Takebayashi Kenshichi, walked towards the wooden table where Takebayashi Kenshichi fell with a serious look on his face.

The surface of this desk was very tidy. On the entire desktop, apart from Takebayashi Kenchi's own notebook, there was also...

There was only a Japanese-Chinese book titled "No Longer Human" translated into Chinese.

Opening "No Longer Human", at the end of the first note, Professor Ito discovered the footnote that Kenshichi Takebayashi had made for the book.

He drew a slash through the Chinese characters "I'm sorry for being born as a human being."

Then, he translated the Chinese sentence into Japanese again:

【Why should I apologize for being born as a human being? 】

Although there is only a difference of two words in these two sentences, the meaning they want to express is -

That's quite different.
In a word, it is full of boredom with life.

Another sentence is full of hope for life.

When Professor Ito saw this footnote, he pondered for a long time.

Just as the police from the police station were still searching through Kenji Takebayashi's home.

Professor Ito stared at No Longer Human in front of him, and spoke slowly with a serious expression:
"I think I found the reason why Zhu Lin committed suicide."

Professor Kenchi Takebayashi attempted suicide after becoming obsessed with the world in a book he was translating.

The news quickly spread throughout Waseda University.

When the students heard the news, they couldn’t believe it:
"A book? Just to translate a book? Professor Takebayashi would actually choose to commit suicide? This is too ridiculous. I won't believe it even if you kill me."

"This joke is not funny at all. Rather than saying that Professor Takebayashi committed suicide because of a book, I believe that he encountered a slit-mouthed woman at home."

"Why does this plot seem so familiar to Sadako in The Ring? Anyone who has watched the videotape will be cursed? Anyone who has read the book will be tainted by misfortune?"

"What era is this, my friends? Are there still people promoting theories about ghosts and gods? Don't worry, if there really are ghosts and gods in this world, I will be possessed by the Yamata no Orochi."

No matter whether they are elementary school students, junior high school students, or well-educated college students.

Things like eating melons have nothing to do with the quality of students, it's human nature!
This matter, under the exaggeration of teachers and students, has become more and more confusing.

Some people say that Takebayashi Kenshichi was contaminated by something unfortunate, and the book he translated was the source of the curse.

Some people say that your impureness is just nonsense? We are college students who have received higher education in the 21st century and should not believe in such superstition.
Just as the outside world was discussing this bizarre incident, the discussion was heated.

Professor Ito was sitting at home, flipping through the manuscript of "No Longer Human" left by Kenshichi Takebayashi.

The more you read.

His brows furrowed tighter and tighter:

"This book seems to be a little off when I read it."
