However, their conflict would cause chaos, which is something Jiu Zhiche doesn't want to see.

take it easy.

After dinner, Jiu Zhiche returned to his room.

On his desk lay a diary, Miyamoto Takeshi's diary, which he had retrieved after killing the demon that day.

The imperial bell was already broken, and the finger bone didn't look like a good thing, so Jiuzhiche didn't take it.

What if there are more curses or demons? Wouldn't that be another problem?

However, Jiu Zhiche did not notice immediately that a small piece protruded from the plain cover of the diary, which was shaped like a finger, as if it were embedded in it.

Immediately afterwards, that finger stood up and began to tremble violently.

Then, another finger appeared, a second, a third...

A hand with its blackened skin peeled off silently reached out.

Chapter 39 Bone Fusion Diary: You Will Die in Three Days

Jiuzhiche was checking the panel.

Name: Jiu Zhiche

Activated templates: "Immortality (100%)", "Purification (30.55%)", "Magic Eye (10%)", "Strength (10%)"

Inactive template: ......

Triggering template selection progress: 45%

Allocable spirituality: 16.9%

Status: Long Dream Curse

Items: Healing Ball x1, Limited-Time Power Buff x1, Lottery Chance x6

Through my interactions with Tomie, my spirituality has increased slightly during this period.

The purification is sufficient for now, and there's no need to add other templates for the time being. We can accumulate spirituality first, and add it to "Immunity" when we get it. Once we are immune to the Long Dream Curse, we can rest assured.

The focus now is on encountering more new and unusual things to increase initial spirituality.

Aside from that, the "Purification" template is practically a waste in his current hands.

Jiuzhiche had previously browsed through a bunch of inactive templates, and after flipping through many pages, he found the "Spirit" template.

"Spirit": Enhances spiritual power, making one's senses clear and sharp, and one's mind agile. It is useful for using templates that consume spiritual power, such as purification and telekinesis.

P.S.: This template is special. Once activated, progress is not automatically improved by spirituality, but requires personal mental training. Without the template, it is extremely difficult to improve mental strength through self-training.

Although he has to exercise on his own, it meets his current needs perfectly.

Add this template to the plan as well.

Then, step by step, they influenced Kayako, encouraging her to become more cheerful, make more friends, and realize that even a small change can lead to a big improvement!

He wants to nip the curse in the bud, make more money, and have a promising future!

The temperature in the room had dropped without me noticing.

The charred, decaying corpse stood silently in front of the desk, its lifeless eyes fixed on Jiu Zhiche.

A faint sense of oppression and unease arose in Jiu Zhiche's heart.

He turned around abruptly.

The room was empty.

No, something's definitely wrong.

There are no illusions in a world full of strange things.

Jiuzhiche quickly scanned the room, his gaze finally settling on the diary on the desk.

The Demon Eye was activated, but it did not possess any unique aura.

"Increase the Magic Eye by 10%!"

I intended to preserve its spiritual essence, but one must be flexible and adaptable.

["Magic Eye" activation progress 20%]

"Demon Eye": It can see strange auras and spirits in the world and analyze the weaknesses of the other party's body.

P.S.: The current activation progress has reached 20%, and the "See" ability has been enhanced, allowing you to view more powerful strange situations and strange auras.

Everything before Jiuzhiche's eyes had changed.

Two more black footprints appeared on the ground, and a faint resentment still lingered in the air.

He knew it was resentment because he "saw" and sensed the resentment and unwillingness in the aura.

Jiu Zhiche walked to the desk. The diary, which had appeared ordinary from his perspective, now had a withered finger protruding from the cover. It was unclear whether it was the middle finger or not.

whatever.

I threw it away first.

Jiuzhiche grabbed a trash bag, put it over his diary, and went downstairs.

The finger above should be the one that was in the same box as the diary.

I don't know how it ended up in the diary.

It's too late to regret bringing it back now.

I originally intended to broaden my knowledge by reading the information on exorcism and ghost removal recorded above.

After all, he was a latecomer to the field and had no mentor, so it was extremely difficult for him to obtain truly useful information about demons and monsters.

Besides, even if he hadn't brought it back, this thing would probably have appeared anyway, because he made "contact" with it when he opened the box.

Once downstairs, Jiu Zhiche realized something was amiss.

Isn't he behaving just like the protagonist in the movie?

After discovering things like a demon book, a scary doll, a puppet, or a music box, the protagonist will try to throw it away, smash it, bury it, or burn it, but all attempts fail.

Could he have also encountered such a dramatic situation?

Forget it, I'll just throw it away for now; after all, we still have to go through the process.

the next day.

Jiuzhiche looked at the diary on the desk, not particularly surprised.

"What a piece of junk! It has a finger stuck in it, how tasteless!"

Tomie got up from the ground, feeling quite angry. Last night, she was kicked out of bed by Kujiro, and the ground was hard. Why did she have to suffer here?!

"That book is problematic, don't touch it."

Jiuzhiche picked up the diary and tried to light it with a lighter.

After burning for a minute, the diary showed no signs of burning.

He began tearing pages, using all his strength, but the pages didn't budge.

After acquiring the "Strong" template, Jiuzhiche once tried lifting a table weighing over 100 kilograms, which he could easily lift, just like lifting a 3-kilogram dumbbell. However, he couldn't tear the pages of this book.

While you can add spirituality to the "Strong" template, it still feels meaningless.

It seems there's no need to try any other methods.

"I've been watching you fuss around for so long, and I still don't know what you're doing."

After washing up in the bathroom, Tomie noticed that Kyuichi was paying more attention to the diary than to her. She approached him, annoyed, and said, "It smells a bit."

Do you remember anything about this?

"I don't remember it. You should throw it away. It's going to stink if you leave it here!"

"Alright, go stand over there."

After sending Tomie to the living room, Kyuji Che opened his diary.

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

But things have changed now.

become:

You will die in three days.

Jiuzhiche brought up the system panel to observe the status. He saw the words "Withering Curse" appear in the status column, but they quickly disappeared.

He tentatively touched the diary, and those four words reappeared, then disappeared.

Encountering this book will cause you to be afflicted with the "curse of decay," but why doesn't it work on him?

His templates include "immortality," "magic eye," "purification," and "strength," but withering away...

Could it be because of immortality?

"Withering" means that life will wither away, but Jiu Zhiche will not die, so the curse will disappear directly!

The more Jiuzhiche thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He began to ponder: if he couldn't throw away this diary, there must be another purpose behind it.

He felt a momentary discomfort yesterday; it wasn't an illusion.

Three days? That must be the deadline given by the thing behind it.

Since that's the case, then we'll see who comes out on top!

Jiuzhiche continued flipping through the pages, this time reading very carefully and attentively.

Miyamoto Takeshi served as a priest for thirty years without marrying or having children. When he was fifty years old, he returned to his hometown, Mokubei Town, which is now Tombstone Town.

He took charge of the abandoned shrine, exorcising evil spirits and bringing good fortune to the townspeople, and for a time he was quite beloved.

It's clear from his words that he feels quite accomplished about this.

The following section describes some folk customs, widely circulated legends, and methods for dealing with ghosts and monsters.

There was an incident that Jiuzhi Che noticed. It was said that Miyamoto Takeshi dealt with a case where a child was possessed by a ghost, and afterwards he felt unwell.
