Horror/Fear Anime: Starting with a Tomie Hairstyle

[Available spirituality that year: 7.32%]

[Template selection progress: 84.51%]

Jiuzhi Che looked in a certain direction.

There seemed to be some powerful force there, but upon careful sensing, nothing was discovered.

He refocused his attention. He had just sent out at least dozens of purifications. Each one consumed very little mental energy, but the sheer number of them made up for it.

I need to rest for a while.

The harvest was pretty good; I gained 2.2% spirituality.

Some souls are thicker, meaning they are more solid, and thus receive more spirituality. However, some tombstones explode without any soul appearing or receiving any spirituality.

A tombstone where the soul has vanished has no spirit.

The underlying reasons for this are worth considering.

After the tombstone exploded, the souls were pulled back and thus regained their initial spirituality; something had abducted their souls!

The tombstones left behind are merely shackles on the body; instead of enabling the soul to attain enlightenment, they bind them!

What use is a soul to the things behind it?

Jiuzhiche pondered, and when he thought of the soul, the first thing that came to his mind was the demon.

After all, demons like to collect and devour human souls.

Thinking of this, Jiuzhiche immediately made a decision: to prepare the props first!

He examined his system panel.

"System, use up all lottery chances."

Next, Jiuzhiche continued to throw purification.

When he occasionally encountered a group of people gathered together, Jiu Zhiche would pretend to be a passerby.

Did you see who was here just now?

A bald man looked at the stones on the ground, his face turning red with anger.

Jiuzhi Che shook his head.

Another beer-bellied man stared at Jiu Zhiche: "I find you very suspicious. Did you do it?"

Jiuzhiche seemed even more furious than them: "Do I look like someone who's carrying tools? Don't say anything more! My ancestral graves, my great-great-grandfather's graves, have all been blown up! You're catching that bad guy, right? Let me know when you catch him! I'm going to beat him up!"

Indeed, it's impossible to destroy a tombstone like that without tools.

Jiuzhiche only carried a small chest bag, so he did not have the means to commit the crime.

The doubt in the men's eyes gradually faded.

Bald man: "This...the tradition of tombstones has only been around for 50 years, hasn't it?"

"Yes, it's because they thought they could become Buddhas, so they moved the graves of their ancestors next to their great-grandmother's, hoping that their ancestors could benefit from it and become Buddhas too. In the end, they disappeared along with the tombstones of their ancestors. Sigh, let's not talk about these sad things. Let's find the person who did this!"

"Yes, yes, let's go find it quickly."

"You go over there, you go over here, I'll go over there... There seem to be suspicious people passing by in those directions. They might be working in a group, everyone be careful!"

Jiuzhiche naturally began to give instructions, while the others were all anxious to find someone but had no specific direction. When they heard a clue, they subconsciously followed it.

Only the beer-bellied man was unhappy; he felt uncomfortable listening to a young junior giving him nonsensical instructions.

"Uncle, you seem suspicious! Why aren't you moving? Are you with that bad guy?"

"What nonsense are you talking about! I'm the most enthusiastic one!"

In his haste, the beer-bellied man forgot to scold Jiu Zhiche and immediately followed after him.

Jiuzhiche went in the direction he had chosen for himself. Before the mastermind behind the scenes could react, he needed to hurry up and purify the tombstone.

"Huh? What's that?"

The figure in front of me looked familiar; it was the girl who had cried the most at Koizumi's house before.

The girl was standing by the roadside, and Jiu Zhiche could see her profile perfectly.

With her three-dimensional features, delicate eyebrows and eyes, high nose bridge, and naturally rosy lips, she exudes a pure and clear temperament at first glance, yet her body also has some small and sharp contours. From her profile alone, she embodies the pure and alluring style that was popular for a long time in Jiu Zhiche's previous life. However, the girl's face is expressionless, not because she is cold, but because she is empty. These striking features make the girl exude an aura that keeps strangers away.

She's a very pretty girl, and she's also very memorable.

I remembered it after just one glance.

Her beauty is second only to Tomie.

A series of thoughts flashed through Jiuzhi Che's mind, and he suddenly found it funny that he had started to regard Tomie as a benchmark.

However, it's unlikely that anyone in the world could surpass Tomie's beauty, since Tomie isn't human.

The girl only stayed for a brief moment before leaving, and judging from her route, she was heading out of town.

Jiuzhiche quickly stopped paying attention to this little incident and focused on his career.

Diudiudiudiudiu×99～

Tired of losing things, Jiu Zhiche remembered a saying:

Good luck, good luck, keep coming!

Bad luck, bad luck, get lost, get lost.

Great, I'm motivated now!

Kujitsu, who was having a great time losing him, had no idea that his cheap customers, Yoshikawa Tsuyoshi and Yoshikawa Kaori, were still looking for him, who had been gone for several hours.

Yoshikawa Kaori even suspected that Kujiro Tetsu had met with misfortune while investigating the curse!

The townspeople, on the other hand, have become increasingly active, as if they are looking for someone.

Jiuzhi Che threw another wave and ran away immediately. There were too many to blow up. The tombstones here had accumulated over decades. If not thousands, there were definitely a thousand or so.

However, when he arrived at a new street, Jiuzhiche stopped.

The tombstone is undergoing another strange change!

The tombstones trembled violently, and the stone-paved ground of the town seemed to come alive. The stones at the base of the tombstones, which were connected to the ground, wriggled wildly, rapidly rising and intertwining. Transparent threads pulled the souls together, and when they merged into the tombstones, the souls' faces showed extremely distorted and painful expressions. Finally, the tombstones condensed into a tombstone person covered with stone thorns.

It resembles the shape of Xiao Mei's corpse.

After the tombstone man absorbed the stones on the ground, a pit was left on the original ground!

The other tombstones also began to move!

"They discovered it faster than I expected."

I originally wanted to gain an extra 2% of initial spirituality before searching for the mastermind.

Jiuzhiche did not intend to confront them directly. Without hesitation, he turned around and headed to the mayor's house.

When he was wandering around before, he had paid attention to where the town mayor lived.

He had already confirmed the direction of the silk threads connecting the tombstone when he was "diudiudiu" – it was that shrine.

If you were to ask who knows the local situation best, it would generally be the older people or those in charge of town affairs.

As he ran, Kyuichi Tsutomu saw Yoshikawa Kaori and her brother, and he finally remembered his client.

However, he did not stop walking.

Although he has professional ethics, ethics can be moved up, down, left, right, forward, and backward; that's called flexibility.

Prioritizing your own more important matters is called flexibility.

Both are indispensable for dealing with the bizarre.

Ah!

Jiu Zhiche ran wildly, then suddenly stopped in front of a house—

A dozen or so people gathered in front of the mayor's house to pay their respects at the tombstones!

Several heads lay before them, their eyes wide open in death!

The owner of the severed head is self-evident.

It's the mastermind behind this, it's provoking Jiu Zhiche!

Jiuzhi Che thought quickly, and a second later, he ran in another direction.
