Horror/Fear Anime: Starting with a Tomie Hairstyle

Nansui City is known for its two main characteristics: it is often shrouded in fog and has many intersections.

Humans are born with a fear of the unknown and are prone to imagining terrifying things.

Therefore, the invisible areas shrouded in fog have given rise to many urban legends.

Some say that there are monsters in the fog that eat children, and that if a child wanders off alone, he will be taken away by the monsters.

Some say that when the fog turns black, it is the time for death to reap the harvest. At that time, you must hide in a confined space, otherwise you will be found and taken away by death.

Of course, the most famous legend is the divination at the crossroads.

"Fortune telling?"

Sadako had never done anything like that; at most, she would go to a shrine to pray. That's why she was somewhat curious about divination.

"Yes, this is a very famous divination method of theirs." Jiuzhi Che brought his laptop over and took it out of his personal space, where he had been searching for ghost stories about Nancheng City.

"The specific method is to stand at a crossroads, wait for the first person to pass by, cover your face so you don't look at them, and use what they say to determine whether the matter you are divining is auspicious or inauspicious."

The little girl Tomie scoffed, "To entrust your own affairs to the fortune or misfortune predicted by strangers is utterly foolish."

Jiu Zhiche shrugged: "It's just a personal choice."

Unexpectedly, Leilia chose to settle down in this city.

Her wedding is the day after tomorrow, so hopefully nothing will go wrong.

Although he's a main character in the show, he's not a washing machine.

Jiuzhi Che booked three hotel rooms: one for himself, one for Loli Tomie, and one for Black Sadako and Sadako.

Because Hei Zhenzi was determined to study, Jiuzhi Che brought some supplementary materials with him. Since it was still early, he took the group out for dinner.

I found a barbecue restaurant, and Jiuzhiche confirmed that the meat was fine.

So he was in charge of grilling, while the one adult and two children ate.

Sadako would also help with grilling the meat, and would occasionally feed Jiuzhiche a bite.

As if only then remembering the persona she had created—a sweet and obedient little cotton-padded jacket—she picked up two pieces of meat and stuffed them into Jiuzhi Che's mouth.

"Ah Che, be careful, it's hot!"

Black Sadako rolled her eyes and pouted.

When Jiu Zhiche takes her and Zhenzi out to play, she will take the opportunity to snuggle into Jiu Zhiche's arms. Most of the time, Jiu Zhiche feeds her.

She didn't find it childish; instead, she felt a secret joy and excitement.

Sadako is opposite me, and my brother-in-law is behind me...

But now that the little girl Tomie is nearby, Black Sadako can't make any moves.

She didn't want that deadpan guy to see her leaning against Jiu Zhiche.

It's a bit awkward.

After finishing her meal, Black Sadako was unhappy.

Sadako noticed something, and took Black Sadako's hand, "I see there's a photo booth over there, let's go take some pictures."

"Ah Che!" Sadako pointed to the photo booth.

"shoot."

Jiuzhiche has never taken photos like this, but photo booths are actually very popular these days. Many people like to take photos with colorful borders and cute doodles around them. After taking the photos, they stick the small photos on their diaries, pencil cases, and cabinets so they can look at them often.

The group took a group photo of the four of them.

When taking photos of the two of them, the little girl Tomie suddenly hooked her arm around Kyuusei Tetsu's neck and kissed him the instant the shutter clicked.

Black Sadako gritted her teeth: "You treacherous bitch!"

Just as she was about to rush in, a hand pulled her in.

Jiuzhi Che pushed the loli Tomie out the door, bent down and kissed Black Sadako's face, then her lips, and pressed the shutter button.

When Black Sadako was released, she covered her mouth, speechless. She'd even managed to stretch her mouth in such a short time...

At least they didn't continue to settle scores with the loli Tomie.

Jiuzhi Che then pulled Zhenzi to take a close-up photo of the two kissing.

It must be said that he does have some skill in composition and candid photography; the close-up photos turned out very well and had a great atmosphere.

To be honest, it's very difficult to treat everyone equally, and it takes a lot of effort.

Jiuzhiche paid attention to their emotions and did not react excessively because of kissing others in front of them.

It seems that, to some extent, their threshold has increased significantly.

"No, I want to reshoot!"

Black Sadako realized her expression was off; how could she possibly look so engrossed?!

Seeing this, little Tomie immediately chimed in, "I want to reshoot too."

Sadako watched the lively scene inside but didn't join in. To be honest, she felt a little sorry for A-Che.

It must take a lot of effort to navigate between them each time.

If it weren't for A-Che...

If not...

Sadako remembered the story of "reboot" that Ache had told her.

If it weren't for A-Che, his part of the story could very well have happened again here, in this world.

Sadako was somewhat lost in thought when suddenly the behavior of a person not far away caught her attention.

The man covered his eyes and stood motionless at the crossroads until someone approached from the opposite direction. He then hurriedly called out to that person:

"Hello, I'm having a divination. I'm getting married to her soon, but I still have a lot of debt. I don't know whether I should tell her. I'm in so much pain. If I tell her, will we still be able to get married smoothly?"

"Of course not, you idiot!"

A slightly childish voice rang out; it belonged to a boy of about twelve or thirteen. He casually swung his schoolbag, made a face at the fortune teller, muttered, "Is it stupid to ask someone else?", and then quickly left, disappearing into the mist.

The man left, looking utterly dejected.

Sadako was very close to the intersection. She hesitated for a moment, glanced at the three people in the photo booth, and then approached the intersection.

She... doesn't really believe in this form of divination; it's too casual.

If the first person you encounter deliberately says something unpleasant, it can really affect your mindset.

Sadako stood still, without covering her eyes.

She doesn't really care whether she has the certificate or not, but if A-Che gets married in the future, who will be the first person to marry A-Che?

Sadako smiled. She hadn't quite grasped the situation. This kind of divination, where she asked questions of strangers, was too unpredictable for the strangers to answer.

"I told you not to steal it, but you guys are so strong, look what happened!"

Jiuzhi Che sighed and had no choice but to dial the number on the machine to contact the person in charge and reimburse the other party.

Black Sadako and Loli Tomie both lowered their heads slightly and remained silent.

"Just wait till I get back and deal with you all."

After paying the compensation, Jiu Zhiche and the others returned to the hotel.

What happens in the city shrouded in fog remains unknown.

A certain intersection.

"I have to take the entrance exam for high school soon. My parents have high expectations for me and hope I can get into the best high school in the city. But I'm under a lot of pressure and I can't sleep at night. Will I be able to pass?"

"What's the point of having parents like that? You think you can get into university? With your stupid fortune-telling skills?"

Thump—

The boy slumped to the ground, his somewhat dazed gaze gradually replaced by something else. He stood up and walked home with a gloomy expression.

"There is no...need for it to exist..."

Ahead, a black figure disappeared into the vast fog.
