Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 118 A House Filled with Resentment

Katsuya Tokunaga's expression was very self-righteous, as if poverty was the most terrifying thing compared to vengeful ghosts, and he would rather face vengeful ghosts than face poverty...

Li Xuan could understand this feeling.

He pulled two talismans from his pocket and handed them to Tokunaga Katsuya, saying, "I'm neither a pervert nor a madman, just a Taoist priest from across the sea. If you hope to survive these two months, keep these talismans with you. If you see the talismans spontaneously combust, be sure to get away from the scene immediately!"

Katsuya Tokunaga has fairly regular features, but due to the hardships of life, he looks tired and older than his age, appearing to be a man nearing thirty.

He carefully picked up the talisman, instinctively wanting to throw it away, but his sixth sense told him that this thing was probably very useful.

Li Xuan didn't like being a riddle teller, so seeing how conflicted he was, he cut to the chase and said, "Your name is De Yongsheng, right? The cheap villa you live in now was the site of a brutal murder in 1994, which is six years ago!"
The homeowner, Takeo Saeki, suspected his wife Kayako of infidelity, so he murdered her and their six-year-old child. He then went on to kill the wife of the man his wife had a crush on and her unborn child.

De Yongsheng also came from the countryside. He only knew that the house had been vacant for five or six years. The real estate company only said that a person had died there, which was why it was being sold so cheaply, but they didn't give any details.

Although Li Xuan described it simply.

But Tokunaga Katsumi was still sweating profusely and subconsciously asked, "Then... what happened to Saeki Takeo? Has he been punished by law?"

Li Xuan said, "No, because on his way back after killing someone, Saeki Takeo's wife, Kayako, had already turned into a vengeful ghost and killed him on the way. The man Kayako had a crush on was an elementary school teacher named Kobayashi Shunsuke, who happened to be the teacher of Kayako's son. Because the child hadn't gone to school, he came to their house, and Kayako happened to see him and killed him..."

Katsuya Tokunaga, his voice tinged with fear and confusion, asked, "Huh? That can't be right. Why would Kayako kill the person she loves?"

Li Xuan said, "She was naturally withdrawn and didn't like to communicate. She only harbored secret crushes, and at that time they were both young college students. She loved him but couldn't have him, and her love turned into hatred. She resented that Kobayashi Shunsuke couldn't feel her love, and this hatred turned into resentment that accumulated. After becoming a ghost, she naturally wouldn't let Kobayashi Shunsuke go..."

Tokunaga Katsuya dropped his briefcase on the ground and hurriedly picked it up.

His legs were weak. He had finally made it to Tokyo, a big city, from the countryside, so why did he have to encounter such a thing? Now the money had already been handed over to the real estate company and there was no way he could get it back. Was he supposed to take his wife and elderly mother back to the countryside?

countryside……

No, we finally got to this bustling place...

Tokunaga Katsuya leaned against the telephone pole, almost collapsing. Suddenly remembering Li Xuan standing in front of him, he hurriedly mustered his courage and said, "Taoist priest, I know Taoist priests. They exist in our country, but they are very rare. Most of them are in China to the west. You are Chinese, right? ...You speak Japanese very well."

He knelt down and said, "Since you know about the existence of ghosts, you must have a way to deal with them, right? Please help me!"

Kayako or Saeki Takeo!

Tokunaga Katsuya had never seen any of it with his own eyes, and was even half-believing and half-doubting, but he dared not gamble. If all of this really existed, then he, his wife, and his elderly mother would all be dead. Isn't the importance of human wealth based on "living"?

Another problem is that he can't go back to his hometown; the house has already been sold, and going back would only make him a laughingstock.

Should we go and stay with my sister, Hitomi Tokunaga? No, that won't work either. My sister only bought a studio apartment; there's no way she could fit so many people in there...

Li Xuan said, "The best thing to do now is to leave immediately, find a hotel or rental house to stay in, and come back when things are resolved."

The movie Ju-on exists in both TV and theatrical versions. The theatrical version features Katsumi Tokunaga. In addition, there are spin-offs, such as the one featuring the white old woman and the black girl...

The Ju-on movie was already brutal, but the TV version is even more brutal, and it also fills in the gaps in Kayako's backstory. However, both are just endless killing! Anyone who breaks into the villa dies, anyone connected to the residents dies, basically anyone who is seen dies. Tokunaga Katsuya lost all interest in going to work. He took out his phone and dialed his boss's number. His previously flustered expression gave way to a forced smile as he said, "President, yes, it's me, Tokunaga Katsuya. I'm sorry to bother you, but something very important happened at home, so I can't go to the office this afternoon."

He kept nodding and bowing over the phone until he received approval for the vacation.

Li Xuan was quite satisfied with the person who listened to advice. He had thought that Tokunaga Katsu would be as stubborn as the male and female protagonists in a typical horror movie, and would only be afraid if a ghost pressed its face against their chest.

If Tokunaga Katsuya refuses to help, then it can only be said that this is his fate.

Despite it being midday and the sun blazing, Tokunaga Katsu felt a chill run through him. He put the talisman into his suit pocket, thanked him sincerely, and then asked, "How can I contact you if I want to?"

Li Xuan said, "I just came to your country for a trip and haven't bought a mobile phone yet."

Tokunaga Katsu hesitated for a moment, then put the phone into Li Xuan's hand and said, "You can use my phone for now. I'll buy you a new one in the next couple of days!"

He can't afford to be looked down upon at work, so this phone isn't cheap.

He dared not offend this mysterious young man who seemed capable of saving his life...

Seeing his hesitant expression, Li Xuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Alright, take advantage of the midday sunshine and get your family out quickly."

Tokunaga Katsu bowed and then ran home.

He glanced back, but Li Xuan had disappeared.

Pushing open the iron gate to the courtyard, Tokunaga Shō immediately felt that the temperature inside and outside the courtyard was completely different. Even though it was just separated by an iron gate, the courtyard felt like it was air-conditioned.

He stood in the yard, looking up at the house.

What an exquisite house! How could it be haunted?

My gaze slowly shifted, and suddenly a pale little boy with dark circles under his eyes was lying on the second-floor windowsill. His eyes were wide open, his mouth was agape, and I could vaguely hear a cat's meow coming from his mouth.

Tokunaga Katsu was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, trembling all over, thinking to himself, "Could this be the son that Saeki Takeo killed?"

He forced himself to suppress his fear and shouted, "Hemei, Hemei!"

The door opened, and Tokunaga Kazumi, wearing an apron and holding a shovel, hurried out. Seeing her husband fall to the ground, she quickly put down the shovel, came over to help him up, and asked with concern, "Weren't you supposed to be at work? How did you end up falling in front of your own door?"

Tokunaga Katsumi dared not speak of anything about Kayako in the courtyard, lest he be overheard.

He gripped Hemei's wrists tightly with both hands and said, "I have something to do. Let's bring Mom out together, and the whole family will stay at a hotel tonight..."

He Mei asked in confusion, "Why? The hotel is too expensive."
