Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

"Unbelievable!"

However, how could a fox spirit who has cultivated for a thousand years be corrupted by the resentment of a mere mortal?

"boom!"

"Ah~~~"

Amidst screams, the black aura on the diary in the three-tailed fox's hand was completely burned away by the flames.

【Kirō Momiji】

Summoning Requirements: Purify Kayako's Curse (Completed)

How to summon: Find a maple forest and affectionately call out, "Red Leaf, I love you."

"finished."

Logically, Gu Yun should have breathed a sigh of relief after purifying the Kayako.

Strangely, although the resentment in the house had faded considerably, it still lingered.

"it's wired."

Gu Yun frowned slightly: "Kayako has been purified, so why is the curse on this house still there?"

“Perhaps,” the three-tailed fox said, “the source of the curse is not Kayako, but someone else.”

The moment the three-tailed fox picked up the diary, it witnessed Kayako's entire life and learned the whole story.

“There was an elderly couple who had a daughter 13 years after they got married. They named her Kawamata Gayako after the gayageum.”

Gayako was aloof, quiet, and reserved, with long hair and wearing a white Western-style robe.

Once inside the classroom, the entire class fell silent; everyone was avoiding her.

In addition, her parents were away from home for many years and rarely paid attention to her. It was almost as if she had been abandoned, let alone cared for.

Although she wasn't bullied terribly, she was one of those people no one remembered, and the only person who kept her company was her little black cat.

"When she got to university, one day, Kayako was wearing a white dress and was praised by a male classmate named Kobayashi for being 'very pretty'."

Thus, Kayako, who had never received any attention before, became completely infatuated with Kobayashi-kun.

Because Kobayashi had once handed her a handkerchief and remembered Kayako's name.

After that, Kayako became madly in love with Kobayashi, and used a brown notebook to record every word and action of Kobayashi Shunsuke, writing down her crazy love diary.

No matter what kind of book Kobayashi flipped through, she would buy it.

She even picked up the cigarette butts that Kobayashi had left and smoked them.

However, Kobayashi falls in love with a female classmate, which arouses Kayako's jealousy, but she doesn't express it in front of Kobayashi.

'I love you, I love you, I love you, Kobayashi-kun'

'Go die, go die, go die! Why doesn't that woman just die?'

'Kobayashi-kun greeted me today, I'm so happy!'

Flipping through the diary, now just ordinary paper, Gu Yun's eyes were met with a wealth of passionate words.

"this…"

Gu Yun gasped, "How terrifying."

What a twisted emotion.

Although it's not a good evaluation, Gu Yun thinks that if Kobayashi-kun knew, he would probably feel disgusted.

"It was also at this time that Kayako's parents died in an accident," the three-tailed fox said. "Because Kayako had no feelings for her parents, she didn't shed a single tear at their funeral."

It was at this moment that Saeki Takeo, the tenant of the neighbor's house, noticed Kayako and proposed to her with the words "I want you".

Kayako, who had never been needed, accepted Takeo and gave birth to his son.

However, Kayako, who still loves Kobayashi, couldn't help but secretly name her son Kobayashi Toshihiko with the character "Toshi" from Kobayashi and the character "O" from Takeo, thus becoming Toshio.

Although Takeo is very possessive, the family of three gets along well thanks to Kayako's quiet personality.

“Gangxiong, who had been wanting a second child, went to the hospital for a checkup because he couldn’t conceive,” said Three-Tailed Fox. “The doctor told him that he had oligospermia.”

This disease, how should I put it?

The three-tailed fox was not a modern person, and she didn't quite understand the meaning of this disease.

According to Takeo, the chances of him successfully giving birth to a child are only one in ten thousand.

Generally speaking, it is absolutely impossible for Kayako to conceive Saeki Takeo's child.

"So, did Kayako really cheat on her husband?"

"not at all."

The three-tailed fox saw Kayako's entire life; she did not cheat on him.

Toshio Saeki is indeed the son of Takeo Saeki.

Yes, this child is a one in ten thousand miracle!

"Takeo suspects Kayako of having an affair."

Furthermore, they discovered Kayako's old diary and found out that Kobayashi is now Toshio's teacher, and that Kayako still misses him.

And so, Takeo Saeki completely went berserk.

He tortured and killed Kayako, and then locked his son in the closet.

Kobayashi is Toshio's homeroom teacher, but he doesn't remember Kayako at all.

"Because Junxiong has not come to school for several days, Kobayashi, as the homeroom teacher, has a responsibility to conduct a home visit."

Meanwhile, blinded by rage, Takeo found Kobayashi's pregnant wife.

The cruel Takeo not only cut open Kobayashi's wife's stomach, but also called Kobayashi to let him listen.

"Driven by immense resentment, Kayako transformed into a vengeful ghost, killing Takeo Saeki and also murdering Kobayashi in the house."

From then on, the curse lingered here, and everyone who entered this haunted house would eventually be devoured by Kayako and become a bound spirit of this place.

Chapter 12 The Art of Sending Souls

"It's a bit strange."

Gu Yun pondered the information revealed by the three-tailed fox. He said, "Could a curse as rootless as a duckweed be so powerful?"

Don't assume that Kayako is weak just because she's only a mid-level demon.

On the contrary, intermediate-level demons are beings that most exorcists absolutely cannot match.

Kayako was tortured to death, thus becoming an evil spirit.

However, the level of evil spirits is only slightly stronger than that of minor monsters, and not even at the level of lower-level demons.

"From a lowly evil spirit to a mid-level demon."

Gu Yun found her grandfather and told him the whole story: "I feel like something's not right."

"Yes, that does defy common sense."

Grandpa pondered, "Unless Kayako was a practitioner in her previous life and had extraordinary spiritual power by nature, it would be impossible for her to possess such power."

In this world, the line between humans and demons is not clear.

There are ancient legends about humans degenerating into demons.

Generally speaking, only people like Snail and Gu Yun, who have fallen into demonic ways, can ascend to heaven in one step.

However, this approach is hard for people to accept.

Falling into depravity means absorbing a large amount of negative energy, which can drastically change a practitioner's temperament, making them seem like a completely different person.

"Toshio Saeki!"

"Toshio Saeki!"

Suddenly, the grandfather and grandson realized what was happening at the same time.

The two people's exclamations almost gave Mr. Takanashi, who was standing to the side, a fright.

"I'm sorry I startled you, Mr. Takanashi."

"Ah, it's okay."

Mr. Takanashi was already quite impressed despite his lack of understanding, and he played the role of a passerby quite well.

Is it possible that Toshio Saeki is not dead?

"..."

Grandpa had obviously considered this possibility as well.

"A medium!"

Suddenly, Grandpa looked towards a corner of the room.

There, a pale-faced boy was curled up, hugging his knees, looking at the three of them.

"Wow~~"

The Hundred Demons Scroll has reacted once again, which means that another new shikigami is about to be awakened by Gu Yun.

【Prajna】

Awakening Request: Send Toshio Saeki to the underworld (Incomplete)

"Hey?"

Gu Yun originally thought that awakening the Shikigami Scroll would be very complicated.

You might not get a single shikigami for several years.

However, within just a few days, the demand for shikigami appeared one after another.

Most importantly, none of these tasks are too difficult.

"it is as expected."
