Horror/Fear Anime: Starting with a Tomie Hairstyle.

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...isn't the tombstone tradition only about 50 years old?"

"Yes, it's because they thought they could become Buddhas that they moved the graves of their ancestors next to their great-grandmother's, hoping that their ancestors could also become Buddhas by virtue of this. In the end, they were gone 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, so 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? That is?"

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 people in town 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!

"It was discovered 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" (a type of ancient Chinese divination); it was the 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.

Chapter 32: Weaknesses and Evolution – Absolutely phenomenal!

"Th-what is that...?"

"It's a tombstone! The tombstone has come to life!"

"My grandma stood up!"

"Run!!!"

The tombstone figure stands up, with two empty holes for eyes; looking at it for too long can give you a creepy feeling.

"I can't walk anymore, someone help me!"

Some people felt their blood freeze, wanting to run but their legs wouldn't obey them, and they remained rooted to the spot.

A hand twice the size of a normal person's struck, accompanied by a whooshing sound. The person's neck was twisted, their head forming a 91-degree angle with their body, and blood gushed out...

The townspeople panicked and ran in another direction, only to be blocked by a new wave of tombstone people.

"How could our loved ones... become like this..." the woman cried out, her face contorted in despair.

Just now, her husband's stomach was emptied by the tombstone thief. She fled in a panic, unable to face it. She remembered that this tombstone belonged to her mother, who had recently passed away.

"What family? That's a monster! A monster!"

The man who was also on the run retorted to the woman with a sob in his voice, as if he was refuting his true thoughts, or as if he was trying to convince himself to accept the facts.

The woman couldn't understand how her ordinary daily life had suddenly turned out this way.

"Bang!" The woman who was running just a second ago fell to the ground and never got up again.

A stone thorn pierced straight through her chest.

The tombstone man lowered his hand, then raised it again, pulled out a new stone thorn, and swung his arm sharply at the person who had run far away.

"Pfft-"

New bursts of blood exploded in the air.

"thump--"

Jiuzhiche lunged and rolled on the ground, and more than a dozen stone thorns fell onto the ground he had rolled over, embedding themselves deeply.

Jiuzhi Che jumped up and ran without looking back.

Those tombstone men weren't very fast, but they were incredibly strong, and the worst part was that they could attack from a distance.

That's a foul!

If he didn't have cheat codes, he would have started cursing.

"Purification": The current activation progress is 20%. The consumption of mental energy for purification is slightly reduced, and the range of use is slightly increased. The purification effect will increase with each increase in activation progress.

P.S.: It works better when used at close range against strange entities and ghosts.

Jiuzhiche immediately threw Purification behind him, which was actually a way of locking onto a monster and using his ability.

The tombstone figure, now locked in place, stiffened, letting out a sharp, painful scream as a small portion of the stone thorns on its body fell off.

The results are amazing!

Before the upgrade, when Jiuzhiche used Purification, the monster only lost a few stone thorns, but now it has improved a lot!

"That won't do. If we keep being chased, we'll never reach our destination."

However, behind Jiuzhiche were hundreds of tombstone people.

The mastermind behind this must know who is causing trouble, which is why the strange creature is relentlessly pursuing him.
