Horror/Fear Anime: Starting with a Tomie Hairstyle

Sparks from the explosion landed on the charcoal-covered boxes below, igniting a fire.

Amidst the flames, Takada Daizan's pitch-black body twisted even more violently as he clutched his head in agony, trembling uncontrollably.

In fact, the explosion and fire did not harm him at all.

But his fear put him at an even greater disadvantage.

Jiuzhiche took advantage of his illness and tried to kill him!

"Purify!"

Takada Daizan's figure rapidly dissipated, quickly turning into a thin, lingering shadow, like a candle flickering in the wind, teetering on the brink of destruction.

The high temperature on the ground quickly subsided.

Choosing to fight in the factory and having Tomie send people to drive away the homeless were all to make it easier to breathe fire and place small bombs, taking advantage of the demons' fear to raise the win rate from 99.9999% again!

At this moment, Jiu Zhiche deliberately spared his life, wanting to find out some things.

He walked over to the diary and picked it up. Upon looking at it, he discovered that the skeletal fingers were still there.

As expected, the Bone Finger and Takada Daiyama were not from the same group.

In fact, after witnessing the mayor's house explode on the second day of the so-called "life countdown," Jiuzhi Che went to visit Xiaoquan's family and also asked Xiaoquan's father about which elderly people over 60 years old in the town were still alive.

Now I'm 60, but 50 years ago I was around 10, an age when I could remember some memorable things.

Koizumi's father recommended several people, and fortunately, three of them survived.

From them, Jiuzhiche heard some new things.

When the fire broke out during the prayer event, Takeshi Miyamoto was helping to put it out and was burned. However, some firecrackers were accidentally ignited, causing a larger explosion...

One participant in the event had a particularly strong reaction; he was the outsider mentioned in his diary and local chronicles.

"He was afraid to go near any fire; he was terrified of the sound of explosions."

One person recalled, "The reason I remember it so clearly is because that stranger was scattering candy and chocolates all over us kids back then, so we were all near him at the time. When the explosion happened, I saw his face turn deathly pale, but his facial features seemed to be distorted, like a demon. I fell seriously ill after that..."

After verifying the conversations of the group, Jiuzhi Che confirmed that the outsider, Gaotian Daishan, was indeed afraid of fire.

It matched the black footprints on the ground.

"You're afraid of fire and explosions, so I suppose you died from being burned alive, probably by Miyamoto Takeshi." The last sentence was Jiuzhi Che's own guess.

Takayama Daita was already very weak. He stared at Kyuji Che with resentment, without saying a word.

Jiuzhi Che continued, "The diary you gave me under the alias Hatada is mostly true, but you lied about some parts. Miyamoto Takeshi was indeed deceived by a demon because of a curse, which led him to perform a sacrifice. Later, whether he had a change of heart, regretted it, acted out of selfishness, or broke off relations, he decided to exorcise the demon!"

"You want me to think that Miyamoto Takeshi is the one causing trouble, that he's turned into a demon and wants to kill me, but actually, Miyamoto is the one who sealed the demon, burned you to death, and sealed your soul into a diary to suppress you! You deliberately hid your identity because you didn't want your fear of fire to be exposed!"

Jiuzhi Che glanced at the diary. "The finger on the cover isn't yours. It's a medium left by Miyamoto Takeshi to suppress you. Unfortunately, by now, that finger probably doesn't have much suppressive power anymore."

From the very beginning when I learned about what happened 50 years ago, there was one person who was rarely mentioned, and that was the outsider!

He's clearly not a good guy, so why doesn't anyone mention him much?

Therefore, when Jiuzhiche learned that the evil spirit wanted to deal with him, he was already highly suspicious of the evil spirit's identity.

Takada Daiyama gave a bitter laugh: "I lost, so what? What else is there to say? Miyamoto Takeshi deliberately passed on a portion of the Withering Curse to me back then, and then sealed me in his diary. Heh heh heh... What good is it if I break free? I will still never be reborn, so I hate it!!!"

He glared fiercely at Jiu Zhiche, "I want everyone to feel the pain of life slipping away! But why? Why? You are unaffected by the curse! Why?!"

He almost roared, shouting out his resentment, what he perceived as injustice, and his anger at being toyed with by Jiu Zhiche!

Jiuzhiche's face was calm. "Why do you think I'm telling you so much? I just want to confirm one thing. You won't tell me if I ask you directly. Now, I'm basically sure."

"You can never be reborn."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiu Zhiche threw the purification potion, and with a shrill scream, a charred, unidentified substance appeared on the spot.

The rest were all reduced to ashes.

"Dealing with ghosts grants 9% spiritual gain."

"Currently available spirituality: 15.9%"

Jiuzhi Che carefully put away the modified spray cans. The reason he used the flamethrower cans and small can bombs was just in case.

Before going to the crematorium yesterday, he chased away the homeless man and left his tools here.

If he is no match for his opponent, he can use these to weaken Takayama and Ota.

As it turned out, he overestimated his opponent, but in the end he did manage to use some tricks to annoy them.

As for the aluminum can, it was also made by the same person who modified the flamethrower can. He was asked to expedite the production and modification, which cost him a lot of money.

When Jiuzhi Che left the factory, he saw two corpses next to Fujiang, with a knife on one of the corpses.

Jiuzhiche exclaimed in disbelief, "You...!"

Tomie's face turned cold: "Are you going to blame me?"

Jiuzhiche bent down and picked up the knife: "You're wasting a knife just to kill someone? Don't knives cost money?"

Tomie: "..."

Her expression softened slightly: "It's stained with their blood, it's filthy!"

"We can't waste it. Money is hard to earn. We can wash it a few times and it'll still be usable."

"I've never seen such a stingy man!"

"I've never seen such a wasteful woman!"

"I'm going to buy a hundred knives tomorrow! I'll use one and throw the other away!"

"childish."

Jiuzhi Che didn't bother with it. There were no surveillance cameras nearby, but the noise of the explosion might attract other people, so it was best to leave quickly.

Tomie didn't say why she killed him, nor did he ask.

This is a world rife with strange occurrences, and many things cannot be restrained by existing rules. Besides, Tomie is not human, so it's normal for her to be lawless.

Jiu Zhiche already felt good about being able to protect himself in this world.

Besides, he had a premonition that the two homeless men were the ones who had ill intentions first, which is why Tomie made her move.

After all, Tomie knew his temperament; he didn't like her killing people for no reason, as that would only create more trouble—the more people died, the greater the probability of ghosts and monsters being born.

"Why are you still carrying around this tattered diary?"

Tomie looked at the diary in Kujiro's hand with disdain.

"The ghost inside has been destroyed. This diary has something special about it, so we'll keep it for now."

He saw that even after Takada Daizan's death, a dark atmosphere still lingered in his diary.

"Demon Eye": ...Activation progress has reached 20%. The ability to "see" has been enhanced, allowing you to view more powerful strange situations and strange auras.

The system did not categorize strength into levels, but Jiuzhiche could judge for himself.

The owner of this diary is stronger than the demon Zalock!

Takada Daizan is several levels weaker than Zalock, but he has a "three-day strengthening curse", which allows him to increase the power he uses against Kyushitsu!

Of course, it wasn't as difficult as Jiu Zhiche thought. In fact, Jiu Zhiche could handle it himself without even needing to use fire or explosions.

Now that Jiuzhiche can see the true essence of the diary, it means he should be able to see most of the diary's owner's situation.

However, that was about Miyamoto Takeshi 50 years ago; as for now, I don't know.

Based on the tone of resentment, fear, and apprehension that Takada Daizan used when mentioning Miyamoto Takeshi, Kujiro Tetsu judged that this priest would probably not die easily.

When enemies and hated people die, there will still be hatred when they are mentioned, but not with such fear and hatred, with such great emotional fluctuations, unless the enemy is not dead at all.

The ending of Miyamoto Takeshi written in the holiday diary that "Hada" borrowed was merely Takada Taizan's own desire.

He hoped that Miyamoto's fate would be death!

If he could survive the Curse of Withering for so long, Miyamoto Takeshi might no longer be human.

As for the truth of what happened back then, only Miyamoto Takeshi himself knows.

After returning home, Kujiro Tetsu received a call from Dr. Kuroda: "Feeding?"

"Jiuzhi-kun, I have some good news to tell you..."
