Jiuzhi Che didn't get up immediately, but instead greeted Kayako next to him:

"That's a friend I met while filming a TV show."

"Oh, oh oh."

Kayako nodded eagerly.

The stiff expression relaxed.

She felt a secret joy, a sweet feeling welling up inside her.

Che made a point of explaining to her, probably because he was afraid she would overthink it.

Jiuzhi Che confirmed that Kayako was happy before getting up and leaving.

To avoid any misunderstanding from Kayako, Kujitsu would definitely not ignore her feelings in front of her.

Otherwise, what if Ju-on Kayako kills the other party?

The other party is completely innocent.

Although Ju-on Kayako doesn't necessarily act according to Kayako's ideas.

"Sadako? Didn't you get a day off?"

Jiuzhi Che thought that Sadako would take leave after being injured, but she still came to school.

"Well, I felt fine, so I came."

Sadako was in much better spirits today than yesterday, and the marks on her body were fading quickly. She wanted to ask Jiuzhi Che some questions, so she chose to come to the school.

"Kyuu-kun, I want to know, will that ghost you mentioned that's been eyeing me come back?" Sadako said this unconsciously, lowering her voice, seemingly quite wary of the ghost.

No way, it's your sister who's been bothering you.

It's right there on you.

It's possible that it's currently in an old house in the countryside.

It's strange, but Black Sadako is probably a projection. After coming out of Sadako's body, she has a physical form that can be touched. Last time, Jiuzhi Che even deliberately patted her head to annoy her.

"I think it's very likely, but don't worry too much. I work in this industry, so you can contact me if anything happens."

Jiuzhi Che appears to be a completely kind and helpful person. There's no way around it; that's how his persona is set up, and it's also more conducive to gaining Sadako's trust this way.

Sadako has a strong sense of boundaries and doesn't easily get closer to people. She's rejecting getting close to people, and Jiuzhiche can see that.

"Thank you so much!" Sadako bowed deeply, then took out a wad of cash. "Please accept this as a token of my gratitude. If it's not enough to cover your initial payment, I'll make up the difference later!"

Jiu Zhiche did not refuse, for to refuse would make it seem as if he had ulterior motives.

He was so eager to help, yet he didn't accept any money. The person he was helping was someone he had only met a few times and who wasn't even a friend. Anyone would be suspicious.

So accepting the money would actually make Sadako feel more at ease.

"That's enough." Jiuzhi Che smiled. "Zhenzi, let's exchange emails and phone numbers so we can communicate if there are any problems."

After saving Jiuzhi Che's contact information on her phone, Zhenzi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although 60,000 yen isn't a lot, it's still two months' worth of living expenses for her. Luckily, she works part-time at the Flying Theatre Company and gets some subsidies, otherwise she would have been broke for the next two months.

Thinking about Jiu Zhiche's identity and the events of the past few days, she had a surreal feeling.

The boy she met by chance not only had they met once before, but they also appeared on a TV show together performing knife throwing, filmed short videos for a paranormal program, and in the end, he actually saved her...

Sadako felt a vague sense of unease, very similar to her feelings last night when she didn't want to act "shy."

She didn't think about it carefully.

Things you don't understand now, you will understand someday.

After walking quite a distance, Sadako suddenly noticed something.

It seems that Jiu Jun has been calling her "Sadako" all along!?

Here, only people who are very close to each other will use each other's names.

Sadako seriously considered whether she should change how she addressed him since Kyushi-kun considered her a friend.

This seemingly minor problem troubled Sadako until after school, and she was still thinking about it when she got home.

Finally, while showering, she decided that next time she would change how she addressed him and call him "Che-jun".

......

"Sister Rou?"

When Jiuzhi Che arrived at Harase Kyoko's hospital room, there were two policewomen there, one of whom was an old acquaintance of his, Yamashiro Yu.

Shan Chengrou nodded businesslike: "Jiuzhi, you two chat first. I'll talk to you later. Is that convenient?"

This is a very polite way of putting it. Jiu Zhiche is not a suspect and has the right to refuse to be questioned.

"no problem."

Since it's Sister Rou, Jiu Zhiche doesn't mind being asked again, even though he already explained it when he called the police yesterday.

Soon, only Kyoko Harase and Tetsuya Kujiro remained in the ward.

Kyoko Harase's left hand was wrapped in heavy bandages, and she looked very weak. "Kujiro-kun, I've been calling you that. I asked you to come here today because I think you know what I want to ask. Masashi... the one in the hallway... did the demon kill him?"

"That's right." Jiuzhiche realized some of her thoughts. "I advise you to give up on the idea of ​​revenge and finding the killer. That ghost is very strong. What you should be thinking about is how to survive."

Kyoko Harase visibly dejected. "Even you can't do anything about it?"

"I'm just an ordinary college student, with maybe a little bit of exorcism knowledge. Ms. Harase, why are you being targeted by a ghost?"

In the original work, she was chosen by Kayako to be the mother. Was it because she had something special, or was it a random selection?

Jiuzhiche wanted to figure it out.

Looking through the Demon Eye, Kyoko Harase was an ordinary person.

Kyoko Harase thought for a while, "I can't recall anything special."

"If you need anything or if you remember anything, feel free to contact me."

Jiuzhiche gave her his phone number.

Speaking of this, he was thinking of simply printing some business cards, which would be more convenient.

After Kyuichi left the ward, Harase Kyoko, who had been holding back her emotions, completely broke down and burst into tears.

She wept for her fiancé's death, and also for her unseen future.

Hospital corridor.

Shancheng Rouhe and Jiuzhi Che were having a private, face-to-face conversation.

"This time, is there an inhuman being involved?"

"Sister Rou, you're a police officer, do you believe in this stuff?"

"The events of Tombstone Town and the walls of your downstairs room both prove that there are things in this world that science cannot explain."

Yamashiro gave a wry smile. "You brat, I suspected you before. Tell me, are you a superpowered person? An exorcist? Or what?"

"I just have the ability to frequently encounter strange things. If I didn't have some means of self-protection, I probably wouldn't have met Sister Rou."

Yamashiro's smile softened slightly, then she suddenly became serious and said, "I'm not here to talk to you about yesterday's murder case. There's something else I'd like to ask for your help with."

Jiu Zhiche became interested and asked him for help? It seems that Sister Rou thinks that he, with his supernatural abilities, might be more suitable.

Wouldn't that be another opportunity to gain spirituality?

"Sister Rou, if I can help, I definitely will." He looked every bit the enthusiastic young man.

"Recently, several similar death cases have occurred in various cities. Because the victims died in the same way, we call it the 'Indiscriminate Head Injury Murder Case.' We privately call the murderer the 'Brain Fluid Killer.'"
