Horror/Fear Anime: Starting with a Tomie Hairstyle

"Hiss~~~"

Jiuzhiche felt a chill run down his spine, and goosebumps appeared on his skin. He turned around and looked.

Kayako stood there stiffly, like a statue, with her head down and her hair hanging down in front of her. If she weren't wearing white clothes, she would look exactly like Kayako from Ju-on!

"Kayako, come here."

Kayako suddenly looked up, and Jiuzhiche, seeing her like this, pulled her over directly.

If we let her overthink things, who knows what might happen?

"Miss, something strange has happened to your brother, hasn't it?" To make sure Kayako could hear what they were talking about, Kyuji Che got straight to the point.

The woman lifted her tear-streaked face and shook her head vigorously: "No! Nothing happened!"

Jiuzhi Che nodded: "I understand your thoughts, but I'm only after money and have no interest in your affairs. Your brother has health problems and probably won't last much longer."

The woman was wary: "Who are you? I don't know you."

She wiped away her tears and prepared to go inside to find her brother.

This handsome guy looked like a charlatan, and she didn't want to pay him any more attention.

Jiuzhiche was not discouraged. The main reason he took the initiative to make contact this time was that there were so many strange things. He couldn't keep hiding. He had to learn to take the initiative, broaden his horizons, and accumulate experience so that he could become stronger faster.

Crematorium.

Yoshikawa Kaori turned around to look, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the couple leave through the gate.

When they arrived at the crematorium, both Yoshikawa Takeshi and Kawabe Riki looked unwell.

A blackened corpse lay on the incinerator's pusher, the air above it seemingly distorted slightly—an illusion created by the intense heat.

The corpse's surface and mouth were covered with columnar growths of stone, densely distributed all over its body. The stones were connected to each other, interlocking and forming a whole, like the layers of long, upright thorns on a spiny dragon, but the area was larger, the thorns were denser, and the tips of the thorns were flat and not sharp.

At first glance, no, no matter how you look at it, it was beyond the realm of humans; it was a monster covered in stone thorns.

Everyone present fell silent.

They tried to burn it three times, but all attempts failed, and the corpse even made sounds, which is really hard to explain scientifically.

"She is cursed."

A sound drew everyone's attention.

At the entrance, the figures of a man and a woman came into everyone's view.

Yoshikawa Kaori's expression changed: "You didn't leave!"

"If we don't pretend to leave, how can we see the truth?" Jiu Zhiche walked closer and looked at the corpse a few more times, a strange light flashing in his eyes, but this scene was completely invisible to others.

Just now, in order to see the injured man's condition clearly, Jiu Zhiche kept increasing the activation progress of the Demon Eye in small increments until it reached 10%, and only then did he see the life flames swirling around the man!

Extremely faint, the kind that's about to go out!

[Current remaining allocatable spirituality: 7.85%]

["Magic Eye" activation progress 10%]

Since I'll need to use my spirituality sooner or later anyway, I won't feel bad about spending all the money. I'll be the one who benefits. The power of the magic eye is undeniable; it allows me to see many wondrous things.

Yoshikawa was furious, but beneath his anger lay a guilty conscience he tried to hide. "How dare you barge in like this? Get out!"

Jiuzhiche turned and glanced at him: "I originally wanted to save your life, but you couldn't seize the opportunity. Now, even if you offer me money, I'm too lazy to save you."

Kayako, standing next to him, also raised her head slightly and glared at Yoshikawa. This man's attitude was too rude. He was just looking at the corpse, but why did he act like his parents had been murdered?

Yoshikawa suddenly felt a chilling wind blow across the back of his neck. He froze, then broke down and shouted, "Xiaomei, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you! Why? Why are you clinging to me?!"

Jiuzhi Che already roughly knew which story this was. Yoshikawa took his younger sister Yoshikawa Kaori to Tombstone Town to visit his sister's friend Koizumi. On the way, they had an accident and hit and killed a girl. Later, they learned that the girl was Koizumi's younger sister, Xiaomei.

Although Yoshikawa felt guilty, he was even more afraid of being convicted of murder, so he hid Xiaomei's body in the trunk of his car. This action pushed him into another abyss.

There is a tradition in Tombstone Town that a person cannot be moved from the place where they die. The body must remain in place until a tombstone is erected, and the deceased will then be able to become a Buddha.

And Xiao Mei's current corpse is the consequence of not being able to become a Buddha.

While moving Xiaomei's body, Yoshikawa accidentally cut his hand on a stone spike caused by the mutated corpse. At first, he didn't pay attention to it, but after throwing the body into the ancient well of the abandoned shrine, he saw the overwhelming resentment twist into Xiaomei's appearance and rush towards him...

Later, Yoshikawa fled home as if his life depended on it. The wound on his hand wouldn't heal no matter what he did. Slowly, it became infected, and then he died.

His body also began to grow stone spikes, a gruesome sight, and he would never become a Buddha.

The meaning of attaining Buddhahood here is that after death, a person's soul is liberated and can go to the Pure Land or the next life.

"Brother!" Yoshikawa Kaori was also devastated, hugging Yoshikawa Tsuyoshi, and had no mind to chase after Kyushi Che anymore.

Jiuzhi Che would not sympathize with murderers. Although Yoshikawa Tsuyoshi did not throw the body into the well, he planned to burn the body to cover up the crime and escape his responsibility!

[Gained 3% initial spirituality, current template progress: 79.31%]

Xiao Mei's body provided new initial spiritual energy, and this trip to the crematorium earned nearly 10% of that initial spiritual energy.

Jiuzhi Che was fairly satisfied. Even if he didn't get Yoshikawa Tsuyoshi's money, it didn't matter. Someone like him, who had no attitude and no sense of responsibility, would be a blessing to society if he died.

"Kayako, let's go."

With his curiosity and spirituality satisfied, Jiu Zhiche had no reason to stay.

Kawabe Riki took a step forward, his eyes serious: "I hope you won't reveal the situation here to anyone."

If word gets out that the crematorium is cremating bodies for people who have difficulty urinating, it will cause him a lot of trouble.

Whatever business you do is none of my business.

"Ouch!!! It hurts!!!!"

Yoshikawa let out a piercing scream, frantically waving his hands as if trying to shoo something away, "Don't come any closer!!! Don't!!!!"

Looking over, Jiu Zhiche saw that a phantom ghost had formed on Xiao Mei's corpse, and the ghost's appearance was exactly like the corpse's!

The arm covered in stone thorns grew longer and began to pry at Yoshikawa Takeshi's left hand.

"Huh?"

Kayako suddenly let out a small cry.

"What's wrong?"

"N-nothing, it's just that the temperature here seems to have dropped."

Actually, there was one more thing she didn't say: she seemed to see a dark arm next to Yoshikawa.

At this moment, Yoshikawa had already taken off his oversized coat, revealing long sleeves. His left arm stretched the long sleeves, creating jagged, spiky patterns. He tore open the sleeves, his expression pained.

Machida Maya was astonished, and her expression turned to horror and disgust.

Kawabe Rikiya frowned.

Yoshikawa's arm beneath his sleeve was a bloody mess, with white bones faintly visible. More than anything, stone thorns had taken over his arm, pushing through the flesh and growing wildly.

The stench of rotting meat in the air grew stronger.

Meanwhile, Yoshikawa was still scratching at the stone thorns, even trying to pull them off. His body twisted into a maggot-like shape, as if trying to escape from what was around him. The constant groans and screams from his mouth were chilling.

Yoshikawa Kaori was at a loss, unable to help. Suddenly, she remembered what Kyuichi Tetsu had said, and she cried out, "Didn't you say you could save my brother? Please, save him!"

"No saving them."

Jiuzhiche was about to step out the door.

"I'm willing to pay 300000 yen!"

One foot stepped out.

"1000000!" Yoshikawa Kaori cried through gritted teeth, "As long as you can cure my brother!"

The foot was pulled back.

"make a deal."
