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

Chapter 347 The Shrine Maiden of the Fox Shrine

While Kawakami Tomie was having a mental breakdown, Li Xuan quietly looked at her face. But looking at this woman more closely, she seemed to have only regular features and a beauty mark under her eye; she wasn't as attractive as he had imagined.

The atmosphere in the classroom suddenly froze.

From the moment Tomie Kawakami walked in, Ms. Takagi seemed to be frozen in place; apart from her trembling eyes, her limbs remained completely still…

The students had different expressions.

In island nations, "ghosts" are physical monsters that live in the mountains or hell.

The ethereal ghosts that are widely known among Chinese people and are filled with resentment are often called spirits in island nations, and such legends are often referred to as ghost stories.

Reiko's seat was right next to her. She was pale and trembling like a leaf. After all, Tomie's heart was the one she had personally thrown into the water from the bridge.

Tomie Kawakami suddenly turned to Reiko and said, "Reiko, they're all distancing themselves from me, why aren't you saying anything?"

Reiko's lips were pale and trembling. After a long pause, she managed to squeeze out a few words: "Are you... are you alright?"

Tomie Kawakami smiled, her eyes crinkling like crescent moons. "Alright, alright, I need to go to class now. Could you please move aside if you're the one taking up my seat?"

Li Xuan remained unmoved, sitting there as steady as a mountain.

A hint of displeasure flickered between Kawakami Tomie's brows as she looked at Takagi-sensei on the podium: "Teacher, how could you be so heartless? Giving up my seat to someone else, did you really consider my feelings?"

Her voice suddenly became weak and mournful.

Takagi looked flustered. He knew very little about Li Che, who had transferred to the school, only that he was a foreign student. At this point, there was no extra room for him to stand up.

He glanced at the students present: "Is there... anyone who would like to temporarily give up their seat to Kawakami Tomie?"

A boy in the corner of the classroom slowly stood up, raised his hand and said, "I...I'm willing to give it to Tomie."

A strange look flashed in Takagi-sensei's eyes, not for any other reason than that this boy was Matsubara Yamamoto, who had accidentally pushed Kawakami Tomie off the cliff two days ago.

He nodded and said, "Tomie, why don't you go sit in Yamamoto's seat first?"

Tomie Kawakami's expression returned to calm. She silently walked over and sat directly in Yamamoto's chair, without even saying thank you. Instead, she frowned and said, "Disgusting. This stench of sweat is like the smell of dead cockroaches."

Matsubara Yamamoto's eyes twitched, but thinking back to how he had held Tomie's head and cried just two days ago, and then looking at the living Tomie in front of him, his mind was in complete chaos!
Resurrection? Ghosts? Time travel?
He grabbed his hair with both hands, retreated to a corner of the classroom, and squatted down, seemingly lost in a trance, staring intently at Kawakami Tomie's retreating figure...

Even Takagi-sensei himself didn't know what he talked about in class.

After class, he was completely baffled, so he gritted his teeth and called Tomie to the hallway. He asked her bluntly, "Are you... really Tomie? You know she's dead."

In fact, most of Tomie's body parts were discovered on the very day she was dismembered.

After all, the 42 students in the class were just ordinary people with no experience in disposing of bodies, so it was only a matter of time before they were discovered...

Strangely, despite the low-level methods used by these individuals, the island nation's police were unable to find any relevant clues.

When the police arrived at the school, it was just a routine investigation. All they got was the unanimous explanation from the entire Class 3-2: "Kawakami Tomie fell into the sea during a field trip and disappeared..."

The warmth of the blood and flesh that had stained her hands two days ago still lingered in Takagi-sensei's hands.

He was absolutely certain that Kawakami Tomie was dead, and the "Kawakami Tomie" at this moment was most likely a relative from Tomie's family who looked very similar and was playing a prank. Tomie suddenly leaned closer and said in an extremely seductive voice, "Takagi-sensei, didn't we already make a promise that after graduation we would..."

A familiar feeling surged over him, and Mr. Takagi trembled all over. He shouted and pushed Tomie Kawakami out, then staggered and ran outside!

It really is Tomie; she has returned as a ghost to seek revenge!
Ms. Takagi rushed onto the sunny playground, her nerves stretched to the limit. She turned to look at the stairwell and saw Tomie Kawakami walking towards her with elegant steps, like a hunter.

……

The ambulance is coming.

Medical staff took away Ms. Takagi, who had fainted due to excessive shock.

Behind the window of Class 3-2, the students watched this scene unfold. They trembled with fear. Even Mr. Takagi was like this; who would be next?
In the remaining classes, other teachers substituted for the students.

The classroom was quiet except for the sound of chalk and the teacher's voice. The students were motionless, all drenched in sweat.

As soon as the school bell rang, the students of Class 2, Grade 3, rushed out of the classroom like wild dogs that had been freed from their cages, and several of them even tumbled and fell down the stairs.

Li Xuan packed up a few books and prepared to leave.

Reiko followed closely behind, and said in a trembling voice, "Li Che, can I come with you?"

After the farce at Tomie's house yesterday, Reiko thought about it all night and became quite certain that Li Xuan's constitution had a certain effect of restraining the ghost "Tomie"...

When Tomie returns, the police are unreliable, and the teacher has gone mad; only Li Che can protect her.

The girl with fox-like eyes squeezed in as well, asking Li Xuan to leave school together in the same tone. Her name was Lingzi, Yamano Lingzi, and she lived in a remote part of Xiakeng Town...

Ignoring Reiko's surprise, she squinted and chuckled, "I can see it. Lee Cha-kun possesses immense power; those demons and monsters are nothing to worry about."

Ok?
For the first time, Li Xuan looked directly at the girl with fox-like eyes.

He knew that there were also humans in Junji Ito's world who possessed supernatural powers, such as a boy who tied two candles to his head and cursed and killed people with nails.

Who is this fox-eyed girl, Reiko Yamano?

Li Xuan remembered that there was a fox shrine near the place where Tomie was dismembered. Could there be some connection between the two? He asked, "Does the fox shrine have anything to do with you?"

If you have any questions, you should ask them in person.

Reiko Yamano smiled slightly and said, "Yes, that's the Fox Spirit Shrine that my family has worshipped for generations. I am a Shinto priestess of this country."

She shrugged. "If you're wondering why we couldn't save Kawakami Tomie, let me tell you, shrine maidens aren't as powerful as they're portrayed on TV. We just know a little more than ordinary people..."

Reiko was stunned.

She had been classmates with Reiko Yamano for almost three years, yet she had no idea that Reiko Yamano was a Shinto priestess. She had kept it a secret for so long...

Reiko Yamano stepped forward and hugged Li Xuan's arm, gently nuzzling him: "I've actually been paying attention to Tomie Kawakami for a long time. She's a very powerful individual who can twist people's wills. Now that Li Xuan has appeared, and wherever he goes, even gods and ghosts shun him, then the hope of eliminating her has arrived!"
