We were supposed to be doing horror movie guides, but what the heck is this "mysterious resurre

Chapter 194 Kawakami Tomie's Meticulous Scheme! That's not how you use the devil scissors! (1 words)

After saying this, Tomie let out a light, bell-like laugh and casually kicked the middle-aged man in front of her away.

The middle-aged man's face was ashen, and his expression was blank.

He wasn't provoked by Tomie's kick; he was simply savoring Tomie's words.

"Miss Tomie... how could she possibly have someone she likes!"

"It's one thing for her to hate me, but why would Tomie-san like someone? What kind of person is worthy of being liked by Tomie-san?!"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man's voice began to tremble with sobs, and he roared hoarsely.

Without warning, he suddenly stood up and pulled out a sharp fruit knife from somewhere!

"If I can't have you, then nobody else can!"

Taking advantage of Tomie's momentary lapse in attention, the man lunged at her with a ruthless expression and plunged a knife deep into her chest.

Blood splattered!
And this is just the beginning.

puff!
puff!
puff!
The sound of the knife tip piercing her body rang out repeatedly until Tomie's breath ceased and she died completely.

No one noticed that when Tomie died, there was a faint smile on her lips.

The middle-aged man looked at his hands, which were covered in blood, and the room was filled with it. He was breathing heavily, and there was no remorse or panic in his eyes after committing the crime, only boundless madness.

What should be done with the body?

Burning the body?

No! We can't let Miss Tomie's beautiful face be burned to ashes!
Throw yourself into the river?

No! We can't let anyone else get hold of Tomie's body!
Ultimately, after much deliberation, the balding middle-aged man made an extremely crazy decision.

He dismembered Tomie's body, and then...
But to the man's surprise, a short while later, Tomie's mesmerizing laughter echoed in his mind.

A soft, wriggling sound rang out, and the man's eyes rolled back, revealing a new face beneath his previously normal one. Soft, long hair had grown on his bald head.

She has long, straight black hair, and the bangs that fall across her forehead can't hide her world-weary eyes. The beauty mark at the corner of her eye is extremely distinctive.

She has fair skin and delicate features.

This doesn't look like a middle-aged bald man at all.
This is clearly a new Tomie!
···········
After leaving her "family of origin," Tomie made a plan for her future development.

Her instinct is to keep reproducing, multiplying, and becoming stronger.

So, having obtained information from who-knows-where, Tomie took a very unusual action.

She arrived at a deserted place in the island nation, which, according to the local residents, was a forbidden zone for life, and no one who entered it could leave alive.

Tomie, however, did not care about this.

Because she wasn't human to begin with.

It cannot be considered a vengeful ghost in the true sense.

They are impossible to kill, so they don't care about the so-called "forbidden zone of life".

After a series of actions, a new curse was unleashed within the "forbidden zone of life".

Suddenly, a giant balloon that looked exactly like Tomie, with exquisite features that would make any man lose his mind, rose up from somewhere.

The face of Tomie on the balloon has a playful smile on it, a smile that seems to mock the person looking at it. But no matter who it is, seeing this balloon will not evoke any disgust; instead, it will inspire admiration or even envy from the bottom of one's heart.

After realizing the contempt shown by the face on the balloon, the person who saw the balloon would likely only feel deep self-doubt.

"That message was indeed correct, leading me to this place."

"How wonderful, a completely new set of rules..."

"However... my current physical form is still too weak to fully control this rule."

Clearly, Tomie wanted to become one with the human head balloon in front of her, or rather, to completely control it.

However, considering that she had only recently been reborn and her own power was not yet strong, a new plan arose in Tomie's mind.

The balloon with Tomie's face rose slowly from some unknown place before drifting into the sky.

Soon, the balloon seemed to sense something, and the huge balloon with Tomie's face slowly turned around, facing Tomie on the ground.

At this moment, Tomie was in an open outdoor area, and her appearance was exactly the same as the balloon, which fits the murder pattern of the human head balloon.

And so, the tattered straw rope hanging from the balloon slowly came to rest around Tomie's neck.

Tomie did not resist, letting the straw rope tighten around her neck as the balloon flew into the air.

Click!

The sound of bones breaking.

Under the influence of certain rules, Tomie's head was easily removed.

Blood spurted from the severed neck.

A strange scene happened.

If there were bystanders, they would definitely be too scared to speak.

Because Tomie did not lose her life force after her head and body were separated, she died.

The head of Tomie hanging on the balloon had a normal expression, and even looked like it was showing a strange smile.

With a soft "plop," the other half of the body left on the ground quickly sprouted a new, bloody, mangled head.

The flesh and blood of that new head began to be sculpted according to some rules that ordinary people could not understand, forming a new face.

This new face is no different from the previous one of Tomie Kawakami.

"not enough······"

"Not enough...too little, not nearly enough! I need more of this wonderful feeling!"

Then another balloon appeared from some unknown place.

With each split, the number of Tomie's [units/items] increased.

Their abilities are also constantly improving.

This can be seen from the fact that the speed at which new rivers are formed is getting faster and faster each time.

"You can stay here and continue to be killed by the human head balloons. I'm going to look for another opportunity."

Among the densely packed Tomie, one of the Tomie suddenly spoke.

She cannot be called the subject, or rather, Tomie does not have a subject at all.

Her essence is the embodiment of a set of rules.

Some say it represents the deepest desires hidden in the human heart.

It can never be destroyed, yet it can affect everyone.

after that.

After making a series of preparations, one of Tomie Kawakami's clones went to school to attend classes.

Because of her beautiful and distinctive appearance, Tomie Kawakami attracted everyone's attention as soon as she joined the class as a transfer student.

Even the middle-aged male teacher who introduced Tomie to the students would occasionally steal strange glances at Tomie's profile.

"Tomie, there's an empty seat next to Kuroda, so you can sit there."

The teacher pointed to Kuroda, who had dyed his hair yellow, in the last row.

Upon hearing this, the classmates all cast envious glances at him.

"Kuroda is just too lucky."

"Yeah, I really don't know what makes him so special that he gets to sit with the new student, Tomie."

"Keep your voice down, or he'll beat you up and you'll behave."

Kuroda's attire made him look like a delinquent, and few people in the class dared to mess with him.

But today, for some reason, because of Tomie's appearance, everyone started criticizing Kuroda, especially the male students in the class.

Meanwhile, the female classmates stared intently at Kawakami Tomie, their eyes filled with undisguised jealousy.

"Tomie... Tomie, you seem to be a very good student. Could you teach me this problem?"

Kuroda's high school grades were not ideal.

Getting him to study on his own initiative is harder than climbing to heaven.

However, he seems to have made significant changes in order to get closer to Tomie.

"sure."

Surprisingly, Tomie, who seemed aloof and unapproachable, was actually very easy to talk to and agreed to Kuroda's request almost without hesitation.

In the following days, Kuroda became completely infatuated with Tomie and finally mustered up the courage to confess his feelings. Tomie did not reject Kuroda's love, and the two began dating.

As a result, their relationship aroused dissatisfaction among the male classmates, who began to ostracize Kuroda openly and secretly, and their love for Tomie turned into hatred, leading to many bad rumors.

For example, Tomie is always fighting with others in the wild; Tomie transferred to this school through connections; and Tomie has already found a sugar daddy so she can have a good future even without going to school.

until a certain day.

After school, a male classmate called out to Tomie with a gloomy expression.

The school was deserted at the time, and under normal circumstances, Tomie should have refused the male student's invitation.

However, she chuckled and agreed.

"Tomie-kun, why are you with Kuroda? Why aren't you with me?"

The male student's face was gloomy and his emotions seemed extremely unstable as he spoke.

However, Tomie did not soothe the student's emotions. Instead, she covered her mouth and chuckled, her face filled with disdain and mockery.

"Be with you? On what grounds? Just because you're poor, ugly, and penniless?"

Upon hearing this, all his reason vanished, his eyes bloodshot, and only one thought remained in his mind.

He's going to kill Tomie!!!
This woman is absolutely despicable.

A utility knife that had been prepared beforehand was pulled out.

······
"I... killed someone?"

Looking at the blood and fragments of human tissue scattered on the ground, the perpetrator was somewhat dazed, as if the person who had just done all that was not himself, but another personality that controlled this body.

Just as he staggered to his feet, he suddenly noticed that the pieces of flesh on the ground began to wriggle, their eyeballs rolling around, and each piece of flesh grew into a new Kawakami Tomie...

"what!"

A piercing scream echoed throughout the school.

···········
The next day, two students were missing from the class.

The classmate who spent time alone with Tomie after school, and Tomie's boyfriend Kuroda, have both disappeared.

Logically, such an anomaly should have drawn the attention of the classmates, but everyone tacitly avoided mentioning it, as if all memories of the two individuals had been erased.

The teacher stood on the podium and scanned the seats below.

He paused, clearly realizing that two people were missing.

However, after noticing which two people were missing, the teacher sneered and said, "The class discipline hasn't been very good lately. Kuroda and Sato have been expelled and are on leave from school for not following class rules."

Someone chuckled and teased, "So that means... Tomie is single again, and we can all pursue her now?"

His words sparked another round of discussion in the class, mixed with laughter.

Since Tomie's arrival, the atmosphere in the entire class, and even the entire school, has become very strange.

The only girl who was unaffected was Yingzi.

"What's wrong with everyone...?"

"It suddenly feels so unfamiliar..."

Around noon, Yingzi went to the cafeteria alone to have lunch.

To her surprise, even though she didn't have many friends, all the girls in her class came over and sat with her.

The sun comes out in the west?

When Yingzi looked back, she found that all the girls in the class had gathered together, forming a small group, while only Tomie was eating her meal on the side.

Yingzi then understood what had happened.

Because of Tomie's beauty, the girls in the class spontaneously gathered together, wanting to isolate and ostracize her.

"Tomie has arrived."

Someone pointed behind them.

Yingzi looked in the direction the man was pointing, puzzled.

She clearly saw Tomie sitting not far from them eating just now, so who is it that just walked in now?

Long, straight black hair, bangs, a beauty mark under her eye, and a subtle, alluring smile on her face.

She is no different from the real Tomie.

Or rather...
This is the real Tomie.

pat!

Yingzi stared in horror, her eyes widening, and dropped the chopsticks in her hand to the ground.

She was now certain that the source of all the abnormality was this new transfer student, Tomie Kawakami.

"Yingzi, what's wrong? It won't taste good if it gets cold."

A slender, fair hand suddenly landed on Yingzi's shoulder, followed by a charming voice.

Hearing that familiar voice, Yingzi was startled again, and almost dropped the chopsticks she had just picked up.

This is Tomie Kawakami's voice.

Eiko's instincts told her to flee immediately, but reason told her that she had to blend into the environment and not arouse Tomie's suspicion in order to survive safely.

This Tomie seems to possess some terrifying abilities that she is unaware of, causing the entire school's teachers and students to be subjected to mental manipulation.

It is absolutely crucial that no one notices anything amiss.

Absolutely not!

"Okay, thank you for your concern..."

Suppressing her fear, Yingzi slowly opened the lunchbox in front of her, under Tomie's watchful gaze.

click!
Whether it was her imagination or not, Yingzi heard a faint laugh.

Is Tomie mocking her?
As soon as the thought crossed Yingzi's mind, she heard the exact same sound follow closely behind, like the echoes of a shout in a valley.

The source of the sound... wasn't behind me, but in front of me!!!

Click!

Inside the school cafeteria, all the students stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to look at Tomie.

Their expressions were numb and stiff, with a faint, eerie smile like that of puppets hanging on the corners of their mouths, as if they were waiting for a good show to begin.

In Yingzi's lunchbox, there were no vegetables at all, only a full bowl of white rice.

And faces, like sauce, poured over the rice.

Each face is exquisitely detailed, with features exactly like Tomie's. It's not even a replica, but rather a proportionally scaled-down copy.

These faces of Tomie bear her signature smile, her charming lips opening and closing, emitting a silvery laugh.

"Yingzi, eat up. Wasting food is not the behavior of a good student."

Tomie moved her hand to Eiko's neck, so Eiko could clearly feel the cold touch.

It seemed that what was against her neck was not a fingernail, but a sharp fruit knife.

Yingzi had no doubt that if she refused to eat this sticky human face in front of Tomie, Tomie would kill her without hesitation.

Even among all the classmates present, not one of them stood up to help her.

Everyone has been influenced by Tomie; apart from Eiko, there isn't a single normal person here.

"Why are you suddenly quiet? Do you think there's something wrong with the food on top?"

Behind her, Tomie's voice suddenly turned cold, her smile vanished, and her aura became aggressive.

"what······"

In the end, Yingzi still couldn't escape Tomie's clutches.

Countless tiny blood droplets began to appear on the surface of the face that had been eaten, eventually engulfing Yingzi completely.

At this moment, a third Tomie appeared in the cafeteria, and the true form of this third Tomie was none other than Eiko, who had been assimilated.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Tomie cupped her face in her hands and laughed heartily, seemingly very satisfied with her masterpieces.

She can not only reproduce infinitely by being killed, but also assimilate others by injecting her own cells into their bodies.

Killing Tomie will only accelerate her proliferation and differentiation.

But if you don't kill her, she will take the initiative and kill you.

In addition, Tomie also possesses the ability to control minds, and the entire school's teachers and students are under her mind control.

Every man would fall madly in love with her, their love for her even surpassing their own lives.

Conversely, every woman who sees Tomie will be jealous of her beauty, feel ashamed of herself, and want to destroy this incredible creation with her own hands.

Extreme love and extreme hate will ultimately lead to the same result.

That is to kill Tomie.

Tomie is like a scumbag woman who attracts the favor of many men, but she never really develops feelings for any of them. Instead, she uses them as tools to constantly stir up emotions among them.

When emotions erupt, it becomes a horrific massacre.

Whether someone else kills Tomie or Tomie kills someone else, the ultimate beneficiary is only Tomie.

Under such a mechanism, Tomie is practically unsolvable.

She will spread like a locust plague until the entire island nation is overrun.

"What foolish humans. I only need to gently stir up their desires, and without doing anything else, they will collapse and go crazy on their own."

"This world is so boring, there's no way anyone can be my match."

Just as Tomie was engrossed in her art, she suddenly noticed something amiss.

Inside the cafeteria, ashes from paper began to float in the air at some point.

Wherever these fluffy paper ash particles passed, everything lost its original color, turning into a hazy gray. It felt as if one had entered another space.

"This is······"

Tomie was still holding her head in her hands, not having time to react.

But the expression on her stunningly beautiful face clearly showed shock.

Four figures appeared in this gray world.

Two men and two women.

The man and woman walking at the front were dressed in white mourning clothes and bright red wedding clothes, respectively.

These two striking colors, red and white, are the only colors in this gray world.

These two people gave Tomie a particularly dangerous feeling.

Especially the woman in the red wedding dress.

She can no longer be simply called a human being.

Tomie found it hard to believe that anyone other than herself could remain alive under such circumstances.

The people who broke into this place at this moment were none other than Lu Ming, the Ghost Bride, Hao Ren, and Chu Jianhuan.

Once the seven days were up, the invisible barriers disappeared, and the group immediately rushed there, attempting to eliminate Kawakami Tomie as quickly as possible.

As for the injuries Hao Ren and Chu Jianhuan sustained in the vortex incident, Lu Ming used the Deceitful Ghost's abilities to repair them.

"Brother Lu, you're amazing! The female ghost really was here. But speaking of which, how did you find her? Can you teach me?"

Hao Ren was still grinning, but Lu Ming's expression turned serious. He said solemnly, "Both of you, stop holding back. This ghost is no ordinary ghost. You can't kill it with simple methods. You'll only kill more and more of it. And... from the moment you saw her, the mental pollution has already begun."

Lu Ming's reminder made Hao Ren and Chu Jianhuan realize that something was wrong.

Even though he knew she was an enemy, and a ghost at that, Hao Ren couldn't help but develop strange feelings for Tomie.

This feeling will grow stronger over time, and eventually, it will become like the teachers and students of this school, turning into a distorted love and an extreme possessiveness.

"Brother Lu, what should I do?"

Hao Ren finally realized something was wrong, his playful expression vanished, and he began to panic.

As a challenger of the God Realm, and a sixth-order challenger of the higher-dimensional God Realm, he naturally added points to his mental strength.

They are much stronger than ordinary people in resisting mental pollution.

But this can only delay the time needed for the mind to be completely controlled.

The final outcome will not change.

Hao Ren thought that after winning the bet against the human dice, he would be invincible for five days. During these five days, he would have no worries and no matter how terrifying the ghost was, it would be impossible for it to kill him.

However, Hao Ren only realized at this moment that even if he could not kill him physically, he could still interfere with and influence his mind, and even directly control his mind.

Unable to think of a solution immediately, he could only look to Lu Ming for help.

Lu Ming used the supernatural powers of the Deceitful Ghost and Freddy to think to himself, "If Hao Ren falls in love with someone else, he will be killed."

After using the Deceitful Ghost's supernatural abilities, Lu Ming then used the supernatural abilities of the Exorcist Society's vengeful, idealistic ghost to repeat what he had just said: "If Hao Ren falls in love with someone else, he will be killed."

The reason why supernatural powers were not used directly against Tomie is because Tomie's priority in terms of rules is definitely much higher than Hao Ren's.

If the Deceitful Demon were to directly target Tomie, the final result would most likely be failure.

Therefore, Lu Ming chose to start from Hao Ren's perspective.

If Hao Ren falls in love with Tomie, he will be killed by the supernatural trickster, but according to the rules, the human dice will protect Hao Ren for five days.

All three rules are in effect and conflict with each other, so only the strongest rule ultimately prevails.

Lu Ming looked at Hao Ren.

His expression shifted between light and dark, but after a while, it gradually returned to calm.

The rules protecting human dice have prevailed.

Lu Ming's involvement created a conflict between two unrelated rules: "immortality" and "falling in love with Tomie."

Hao Ren thus temporarily weathered the crisis.

Seeing this, Lu Ming secretly judged: "The rules of the human dice are very strong; it's indeed high risk, high reward. However, this thing isn't invincible. Once the rules of the confrontation exceed the upper limit that the human dice can withstand, Hao Ren will still die..."

"Hao Ren was able to escape this time because, on the one hand, Tomie's abilities were not yet complete and had not reached their most terrifying state... On the other hand, Tomie's attraction to others was not just directed at Hao Ren."

Thinking of this, Lu Ming's heart sank.

As expected of a seven-star difficulty dungeon, they are currently only facing one of Tomie's clones.

Hao Ren is already considered outstanding among the sixth-tier challengers.

If it were a regular Tier 6 challenger team, they would be mentally affected and die instantly upon seeing Tomie, with no room for maneuver whatsoever.

"Ok?"

"I'm all right?"

Hao Ren realized the changes that had occurred to him, and was both surprised and delighted. He looked at Lu Ming and said, "Brother Lu, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You're simply a god. How did you do that?"

"It's nothing, just a small price to pay."

Despite the tense situation, Hao Ren couldn't help but feel moved: "Brother Lu, you're so good to me, you'd do anything to save me."

Lu Ming waved his hand: "Are you misunderstanding something? You're the one who'll pay the price, not me. From now on, you'll be a bachelor for life."

"?!!"

Lu Ming was just saying these words casually.

The supernatural power of the Deceitful Ghost has a limited duration and cannot be effective indefinitely.

Therefore, Lu Ming would not really let Hao Ren remain a bachelor for the rest of his life.

Tomie lowered her hands from her face, her shocked expression turning into anger.

"How is that possible? How come none of these guys were affected by me?"

What Tomie didn't know was that Lu Ming was also affected the moment he saw her, and developed different feelings for her.

Fortunately, Lu Ming's mental strength has undergone a transformation, and there are two vengeful spirits protecting his mind from being corrupted at the consciousness level.

Therefore, it is not too difficult to understand why Lu Ming was able to remain calm at this moment.

Kawakami Tomie had no choice but to turn her attention to the last person, Chu Jianhuan.

Logically, this woman should be jealous of her appearance and then desperately want to kill her.

that's the truth.

Chu Jianhuan's face was gloomy at this moment, and his eyes were filled with hatred for Tomie.

A pair of scissors made of blood reappeared in her hand.

Upon seeing this, Tomie was first taken aback, then burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! Come and kill me!!! Hurry up and come here!"

Although Chu Jianhuan was acting aggressively, Tomie didn't care at all.

The stronger the opponent, the more excited she became.

Especially after seeing the blood-made scissors in Chu Jianhuan's hand, Tomie began to anticipate and fantasize about being cut into small pieces by those scissors.

That way, she could save a lot of effort and split herself into more versions.

Furthermore, the claim that each cell can divide into a new Tomie is actually inaccurate for the current Tomie.

Even if the last cell is completely destroyed, Tomie can regenerate successfully.

Because she is not a living being at all, but rather a manifestation of some kind of rule.

However, Chu Jianhuan did not take direct action as he had done in the Vortex incident.

A faint smile even appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Jianhuan fell backward, but what caught her was not the ground, but a bathtub that appeared out of nowhere.

The bathtub was covered in grime, as if it hadn't been cleaned in a long time.

Chu Jianhuan lay in the dirty, dry bathtub, a mirror appearing in her hand at some point.

She looked at herself in the mirror and silently recited a spell that no one else could understand.

When the mantra is recited for the seventh time.

Click! ! !

Suddenly, a noticeable crack appeared in the mirror in Chu Jianhuan's hand.

But it wasn't a simple shattering; rather, it was as if a hand on the other side of the mirror slammed down on it, causing the mirror to break.

As can be seen, a blood-red palm print has indeed appeared on the mirror in Chu Jianhuan's hand, which confirms this.

pat!

pat!

pat!

The blood dripped faster and faster until it gathered into thin streams.

The bathtub, which had been dry, was quickly filled with blood.

Chu Jianhuan was soaking in blood, her long hair disheveled, her expression no longer calm, but rather showing a state of semi-madness.

"She really didn't use her full strength before."

Lu Ming thought to himself.

"If I'm not mistaken, Chu Jianhuan's ability should be called [Bloody Mary]."

Bloody Mary is a horror legend from abroad.

According to legend, the queen between Jane Grey and the innocent Queen Elizabeth I was Mary I.

Because Mary I killed so many people, all of whom she killed herself, she accumulated a great deal of resentment.

She seems to kill to satisfy her pleasure in slaughter; she's definitely a psychopath.

So later, some people gave Mary I the nickname "Bloody Mary".

It is said that if you lie in the bathtub at midnight and recite a special incantation in front of a mirror, Bloody Mary will appear.

This rumor is exactly the same as Chu Jianhuan's behavior just now.

Lu Ming asked, "Do you need any help?"

He believed that with Chu Jianhuan's abilities, he would definitely be able to kill Tomie in front of him.

But simply killing Tomie wouldn't do any good.

This will only help Tomie and increase the speed at which she splits.

Chu Jianhuan's face turned frantic as he refused, saying, "It's alright. My scissors are now cursed by Bloody Mary. Tomie has killed too many people, and her resentment is terrifying. This will make my scissors the most terrifying scissors in the world."

Chu Jianhuan was so confident because she had encountered opponents before who could heal their own injuries.

However, the places that were cut off by her scissors have no chance of regeneration.

This is a complete violation of the rules.

It cannot be changed.

Even if the other party is a ghost, it will not be an exception.

Click! ! !

Even though they had no contact with Tomie, and there was even a considerable distance between them.

But when Chu Jianhuan swung the scissors, a huge gash suddenly appeared on Tomie's fair neck.

Blood gushed out uncontrollably.

These scissors, tainted with the Bloody Mary curse, are somewhat similar to Lu Ming's Ghost Scissors in their killing power.

It doesn't even require direct contact with the other party; it's practically a godsend for assassins.

Click!

Another knife fell.

The last bit of skin and flesh remaining on Tomie's neck was also completely cut off.

Gudong!

Tomie's head slammed to the ground like a ball and rolled away into the distance.

And this time, just as Chu Jiankuan said, her Bloody Mary was able to suppress Tomie's regeneration and splitting.

Tomie's body, now split in two, fell silent and remained motionless.

"Success?"

Hao Ren looked at Chu Jianhuan with some surprise. He didn't expect this woman to be so secretive. She hadn't even really gotten serious during the Vortex incident.

The gray world fell into a deathly silence.

The students around him were still eating with their heads down, chewing silently, as if everything around them had nothing to do with them.

Blood even splattered on the students who were closer to Tomie, but they remained expressionless and stiff, showing no change in emotion.

Just as Chu Jianhuan was about to put away the blood scissors, a burst of laughter suddenly broke the deathly silence.

Is this the only way to go?

"If that's all there is to it, you don't have the right to be jealous of me..."

Tomie, who was originally standing in front of everyone, strangely turned into two Tomies after her head and body separated.

Bloody Mary's curse worked, slightly slowing the rate of splitting.

But in essence, nothing has changed.

It will not be able to completely kill Tomie, and it will only make Tomie stronger.

Upon realizing this, both Chu Jianhuan and Hao Ren felt a chill run down their spines.

It was only then that they truly experienced the difficulty of the Seven Star Dungeon.

It's simply not something a normal challenger could handle.

With a strange smile, Kawakami Tomie approached Hao Ren.

As he walked, he said, "Alright, the game ends here. I admit that you are different from those fools whose brains are controlled by desire. You seem to be a special kind of existence, just like me."

"Unfortunately, you can never compare to me."

Judging from Kawakami Tomie's actions, she probably felt the intensity was sufficient and began preparing to kill.

Lu Ming shook his head helplessly.

"Chu Jianhuan, your Bloody Mary is indeed very powerful, but... that's not how you use the Ghost Scissors."

"Your actions just now seem to have made Miss Tomie a laughing stock."

After Lu Ming finished speaking, a pair of red scissors appeared in reality.

However, this time, it wasn't Lu Ming holding the ghost scissors, but the ghost bride.

At this moment, in the hazy, ghostly world, there was clearly no wind, yet the large red veil on the ghost bride's head was swaying on its own.

Her flawless face, appearing and disappearing in the shadows, was the only thing with color in this gray space.

After seeing the ghost bride's face clearly for the first time, Tomie Kawakami suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She was taken aback at first, then her expression turned even more horrified than before.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Tomie Kawakami's worldview seemed to have been shaken.

She couldn't understand why there could be a woman in this world more perfect than her.
What she didn't know was that this situation was perfectly normal.

The ghost bride's face was formed by the supernatural; it was truly flawless, the epitome of perfection.

However, while Tomie is beautiful, her real advantage lies in her ability to influence others' judgments through rules, thereby making everyone who sees her fall madly in love with her.

The two are fundamentally different.

Lu Ming didn't waste any words with Tomie. Before he could even speak, the Ghost Bride understood his meaning.

Click!

Just like the scene when Chu Jianhuan used Bloody Mary earlier.

The ghost bride used the ghost scissors.

The necks of the two Tomie in front of him snapped instantly!

Blood spurted out again!
This time, however, Tomie's face was filled with fear and unease as she murmured, "How did they do that?"

The two heads that rolled to the ground died with their eyes wide open, but could never regenerate.

With that one snip, a considerable amount of women's hair appeared on both sides of the scissors, tightly intertwined and emitting a foul, bloody smell.

So far, the development of events has not been out of Lu Ming's control.

Tomie's regeneration is a rule.

To break this rule, a stronger one must be used.

For example, the ghost scissors in the ghost bride's hand.

Even so, Lu Ming only killed the two Tomie in front of him.

These two Tomie's died, and they can never regenerate or split again.

But the rest of Tomie are still alive.

Click!

The sound of bones being twisted and broken.

The men and women who had been eating quietly stopped chewing and turned their heads.

Countless gazes fell upon Lu Ming and his companions, their faces contorting and transforming into Tomie's likeness.

A corner of the gray sky was lifted, like a page of a book being turned halfway.

Countless enormous balloons, their faces turned toward this side, approached with a terrifying sense of oppression.

(End of this chapter)
