Horror/Fear Anime: Starting with a Tomie Hairstyle.

However, outsiders spread rumors that Miyamoto Takeshi was the son of a devil. Later, the rumors became more and more outrageous. Some even said that Miyamoto set the fire at the event because he was rejected when he wanted to have sex with a widow, and then took revenge on society in anger.

Jiuzhiche's expression after reading it: "..."

It looks like they're reading a novel.

Jiuzhi Che looked at Xiaoquan's father: "Have you heard of the divine sword left behind by the shrine?"

"A divine sword? Perhaps. When I was born, the palace priest was already dead. It's said that he always carried a bell and had a sword at his waist. But these are just stories passed down by word of mouth; we don't know if they're true or not."

Our town mayor's father was the mayor back then. The mayor and the priest were supposedly good friends; the current mayor probably knows that.

"You all wait here, don't wander off."

Jiuzhiche no longer hesitated and decided to set off. All the clues here pointed to one thing: the divine sword. It seemed to be very useful.

When he went to the mayor's house, the tombstone keeper was already waiting there. It seems that it's not that the mayor is that important, but rather that the things in the mayor's house are important!

That went so smoothly!

A playful smile flashed across Jiu Zhiche's lips before disappearing.

After he left, he went to the mayor's house.

Perhaps he was lucky this time, as Jiuzhiche didn't encounter many tombstone people along the way.

Easily dodged it.

Sometimes he could only see the shadow of the person on the tombstone, a fleeting glimpse, and then he would not know who to chase after.

1, 2, 3...10.

Jiuzhiche counted the people lingering by the tombstones in front of the town mayor's house. Sure enough, the demon was worried and sent them to guard this place.

"Thud." A small pebble rolled to the front of the tombstone man. The tombstone man turned its neck, and the next second, its body stiffened. A military knife pierced its heart, and the huge force caused it to stagger and fall to the ground, where it shattered with a crash.

Jiuzhi Che pulled the knife back. Not bad, not bad, his strength has increased a lot!

The new template will grant him immense power.

"Strong": Possessing strength, endurance, and resilience far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Jiuzhiche added 5% more spirituality to his strength, and with the improvement in endurance, running became much easier for him.

Although he didn't get "immunity" yet, Jiuzhiche wasn't discouraged.

One should be optimistic and content.

He had been too greedy before, which led him to "throw away" the purification potion. He only came to his senses when the demons took action.

"Although I still want to test my strength, I don't want to waste any more time."

"System, use the silver-haired appearance."

Jiuzhiche lured away the remaining tombstone people and hid in a flower bed. When he came out again, he had a full head of silver hair.

Silver hair look: You can change to a handsome silver hairstyle to enhance your charm, which will slightly alter your overall look.

When Jiuzhiche returned to the town mayor's house, some of the tombstone people saw him, but they didn't rush after him as before, as if they had something more important to do—find his previous aura.

You guessed right.

The tombstone figures have no eyes, so they likely identified Jiu Zhiche based on his aura. But what if his aura changes? They wouldn't be able to recognize him then!

It doesn't matter if I guess wrong; the only price I pay is changing my hair color. It's not like it's green. And those tombstone people are just people I need to kill a little more time.

Jiuzhiche killed one of the tombstone men who came over, bypassed the crushed human heads on the ground, and entered the room.

The mayor's house was quite spacious, with several rooms, and Jiu Zhiche went straight to the largest room.

In what was clearly the master bedroom, Jiu Zhiche's eyes quickly scanned the room, focusing on any unusual aura. As he looked, he noticed the bookshelf, where there were several noticeably large books and a faint, comforting scent, which, if you had to describe the feeling, was rather sacred.

Jiu Zhiche opened them one by one, and sure enough, there were hidden treasures inside. One of the books had a hollowed-out groove inside, with a small sword.

After getting the item, Jiu Zhiche didn't leave immediately. He continued searching and even found several pairs of women's floral underwear. It seemed that this male mayor was not a decent person.

Then, he found a similar scent under the bed. When he moved the bed, he found a barely noticeable hidden compartment underneath. There was almost no gap between the door of the compartment and the floor!

Jiuzhiche opened the hidden compartment and pulled out a box.

If it weren't for his demonic eyes being able to perceive certain auras, he would have had a hard time finding this hidden compartment.

The box was old and worn. Inside, there was a diary, a bell, and a piece of dried finger bone.

The first sentence of the diary reads: When you see this diary, your life will begin its countdown...

Chapter 34 I've accidentally offended another demon; killing him wouldn't be too much to ask, right?

Wow! That's quite a gimmick!

Jiuzhiche examined the diary. There was a somewhat unclear and chaotic aura surrounding it, but it was not exactly ominous.

When he received it, he felt a sudden weight in his hand, but it was only a fleeting sensation.

Jiuzhi Che began to flip through the pages. The later pages were mostly normal; they were Miyamoto Takeshi's diary, which contained a lot of writing, including his experiences dealing with ghosts and his initial encounter with a demon.

It is said that this demon devours human souls and sends people to bewitch them into believing in the tradition of becoming a Buddha through a tombstone.

In reality, once a corpse becomes a tombstone, it puts shackles on the soul. Demons can enslave people's souls through evil spells, mainly for the purpose of eating them.

The last page stops at the part about demons, saying that he is going to deal with the demons and save the townspeople, and that's it.

It must be because of Miyamoto Takeshi's sacrifice.

Time was limited, so Jiuzhiche only picked out what was useful for the current situation to read, and as for that sentence, he didn't take it to heart.

Even if I could, I wouldn't have time right now.

Putting the diary back in its place, Jiuzhiche heard the noise outside. Looking out the window, he saw that the tombstone people below were acting like madmen. Before, they would play tricks on humans, but now they were carrying out a massacre, prioritizing efficiency.

"We have to hurry."

With so many people dead, have their souls also become nourishment for the devil?

Jiuzhiche came outside, and a tombstone man swung three stone thorns at him, even making a whooshing sound.

With a leap, Jiu Zhiche dodged the attack and swung his fist at its face—

With a thud, the tombstone figure stumbled back several steps, its head lolling to one side.

Jiuzhiche's hands were slightly numb. He had wrapped several layers of curtain fabric around them beforehand to avoid being scratched, but even so, the feeling of the stone thorns colliding with his fist was not pleasant.

"Purify!"

Using the most convenient method, Jiuzhiche reversed his grip on the military knife and plunged it into the heart.

"The shrine isn't far from here."

They could no longer recognize Jiu Zhiche's aura, but because they were in a frenzy, quite a few still followed.

In an instant, dozens of stone thorns flew towards him!

Even after turning around to the other side of the wall at top speed, Jiu Zhiche's shoulder was still pierced, with stone thorns stuck there, causing blood to gush out.

In addition, his arms and thighs were also abraded.

Jiuzhi Che gripped the stone thorn tightly, gritted his teeth, and pulled it out, leaving a trail of splattered blood.

"Well......"

The pain tore at his nerves, and all his screams were suppressed deep in his throat.

"Healing Ball!"

The healing power enveloped Jiuzhiche, and in the blink of an eye, the wound on his shoulder disappeared without a trace, as did the abrasions on his body. The healing ball's effect was immediate!

At that moment, Jiuzhi Che thought of Tomie and Kayako. If they were here, and lent him their power, and he could temporarily awaken the template of the Corpse Hanging, he might have already defeated the demon and wouldn't have had to suffer the pain of injury.

shrine.

Ancient well.

A large amount of ominous black mist lingered above the ancient well, occasionally revealing a faceless human face that wailed and screamed in agony, yet could not utter a sound. A sense of desolation permeated the shrine, a deep despair born of futile struggle.

"His aura has vanished?"

"Hehehe, a few years ahead of schedule, perfect! Let's have a killing spree, it's incredibly satisfying to watch!!!"

"Come quickly, I want to see your face, the twisted and beautiful face, of the one who ruined my plans."

"Despair is the best seasoning for the soul, I can't wait for the delicious taste, hehehe..."

An ominous black aura surged and churned, and in its deepest part, the outline of a pair of eyes slowly took shape, emanating a naked and undisguised malice.

......

Jiuzhi Che slashed down a tombstone man with a single blow, his steps sinking slightly as he stepped over the pebbles on the ground.

Hell, this is hell.

No, it was a scene of purgatory.

There wasn't a single body intact; there were severed limbs everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers—it was far more horrific than what had happened in the hospital.

Most of the doors to the house were broken open, and the bloodstains dragging on the ground were horrifying! There were signs of struggle everywhere, and fragments of fingernails were left on the ground...

The only slightly comforting thing is that not all places are like this square. In the early stages, at least half of the tombstone people were searching for and chasing Jiu Zhiche. It can be said that Jiu Zhiche attracted half of the firepower.

Jiu Zhiche has one advantage: he never engages in internal strife!

Just as I thought earlier, he doesn't think he caused the current situation. Isn't the culprit that demon?

Or, if he had thought things through before taking action, wouldn't he have avoided a lot of casualties?

Sorry, no matter how thorough the precautions are, those tombstones are still there. If the demon wants, it can resurrect them at any time to attack people!

These thoughts only flashed through Jiu Zhiche's mind briefly before he stopped paying attention to them.

When we arrived at the shrine, the gates were wide open, as if welcoming someone.

"Guests have arrived, and they don't even come out to greet them. Have they forgotten all about manners?"

Jiuzhiche, alone and holding a military knife, stepped inside.

The shrine was desolate and dilapidated, with the ground covered with withered leaves and dust, but there were still traces of people walking on it.

It's not surprising. Children might come to play, or someone might come to the well to dump a body or something. It's all possible, isn't it?
