Horror/Fear Anime: Starting with a Tomie Hairstyle.

Mingming is someone who dislikes causing trouble for others, so she has only a handful of friends over the years, precisely to avoid having more contact with them and causing them any inconvenience.

Therefore, she set a rule for herself: never, ever get close to anyone, and it's best to maintain a safe distance!

But ever since she met Jiuzhi-jun, it seems... she hasn't really remembered this rule...

As a result, it still caused him trouble.

Jiuzhiche gently patted Zhenzi's hand. "Don't be like that. In the heat of the moment, you were the one who gave in to me. Thank you, Zhenzi. I feel good when you call me A-Che, so we're friends now, right?"

Sadako's expression shifted slightly. A friend...?

She had never made friends with boys before because she subconsciously disliked the hidden intentions behind their actions, but she wouldn't feel that way about Jiu Zhiche.

She has a magical ability that she has had since childhood: she can sense whether others are lying, and whether the lie is well-intentioned or malicious.

As for Jiuzhiche, he mostly spoke the truth, and the few lies he told were all well-intentioned.

She had never met anyone like this before, someone who could show such great kindness, even... a protective instinct, towards a complete stranger.

Thinking of this, Sadako felt a strange tingling sensation in her heart.

"Yes, we are friends, Jiuzhi-kun..."

"Just call him A-Che."

"A-Che..." Sadako finally called out, and felt much relieved.

It was at this moment that she realized she was still wearing a bath towel, while Jiu Zhiche was still only wrapped in a bath towel!

"I...I'll go out first!" Sadako hurriedly tried to run out.

"Wait a minute." Jiuzhi Che grabbed her. "If Kayako is still outside, you can take a bath here. I'll go get your clothes."

Sadako was the only one left in the bathroom.

She touched her cheek, then her lips...

Unbeknownst to her, a fleeting, ethereal shadow appeared around her, like an old movie pausing for a moment, and a small, childlike figure floated in mid-air, its face showing an expression of both anger and displeasure.

Look at how useless he is!

It's amazing that she came up with such a good plan. Not only did it not make this silly older sister hate Jiu Zhiche, it actually made their relationship even better!

Black Sadako stretched her fingers into a claw shape and fiercely clawed at the air twice.

Although I'll spare your life to kill your sister's heart, you won't have an easy time!

I won't let you get away with this!

Black Sadako's figure vanished.

When Jiuzhi Che arrived at the room, he found that Kayako was not there.

Thankfully, she wasn't there. Otherwise, if Kayako from Ju-on had been provoked and jumped out, killing Sadako, it's hard to say whether Sadako and Black Sadako would have merged. But Sadako's death was definitely not as simple as it seems.

There may be changes that differ from the original work!

So no matter what, he has to protect Sadako!

One hour later.

Jiuzhi Che declined Kayako's dinner invitation.

Just kidding, I never want to bring Sadako or Tomie to Kayako's house again. I feel seriously insecure there!

They're all like that black bear loli from Sadako, who's the same age as Sadako and already an adult, yet she's incredibly childish.

If she hadn't pulled this stunt, there wouldn't have been this fright today.

I'll make her bamboo shoot and pork stir-fry again next time!

Chapter 107 Tomie has zero tolerance for inferior beauty, and the corpse shrinks?

Jiu Zhiche is counting money.

After taking orders from his former classmates and using the freebies he got from Tomie, he now has about 5000 million yen in savings after deducting expenses.

There was still a long sofa in the house, with two bodies burned together inside. At that time, Kyuuji Tetsu and the first generation Tomie had agreed that he would give 100 million yen for each purification. Although the first generation Tomie had left, Ippuku Tomie also followed the original agreement and paid Kyuuji Tetsu the money as agreed.

He didn't even need to remind me.

— He looks like a gigolo who gets paid regularly.

Bah! He earns his living through his skills and rare techniques; it's hard work, not a free lunch!

When the sofa was opened this time, the corpse was only the size of a child, and the rate of shrinkage was getting slower and slower.

Sometimes Jiuzhiche even wondered if the black mass was still alive.

It couldn't be eliminated, and strange changes occurred.

If it weren't for the possibility that throwing it out might have made things even more uncontrollable, Jiuzhiche had already chosen to throw it away.

Fujiang is contacting a professional pumping team.

That's right, Jiu Zhiche entrusted her with such trivial matters, why would she do these things? It's only because Jiu Zhiche promised to let her sleep in the bed for a week.

Otherwise, she wouldn't do it!

In fact, Jiu Zhiche could handle such matters himself, but by entrusting them to her, he was implying that he wanted her to sleep in his bed.

With this in mind, Tomie felt a little more accepting.

After using two purification spells on the corpse, Jiuzhi Che saw that Fujiang was on the phone and didn't disturb her.

Since Tomie is so free, having her do something will keep her from getting bored. As for the so-called "reward," even without a reward, Tomie can still do whatever she wants.

Jiuzhiche can also use his spare time to browse forums, search for information, and read skill books.

Speaking of books, he wasted his money buying that book, *A Brief History of the Devil*, because the contents were completely useless.

The talismans and formations are probably fake as well.

Miyamoto Takeshi's diary did contain some useful information, but that old man was a cunning schemer. Putting aside whether the information was genuine or not, it wouldn't be of much use to Kyuichi Che. He could use purification on ghosts and monsters, and directly fight physical monsters. In short, it was of little use to Kyuichi Che.

After I finish dealing with the Virgin Abyss matter tomorrow, I'll go find Amano Kori to inquire about Amano Kosei's situation.

Then, we set off for Black Vortex Town!

Just then, Jiu Zhiche's phone rang.

It's Tomoka Miura.

"Jiuzhi-jun, it seems the program we recorded before won't be able to air as scheduled."

Jiu Zhiche wasn't surprised; rather, he was more surprised that they were still alive.

Did Kayako of Ju-on resist the curse's thirst for killing and spare them?

Black Sadako only ever attacked Harase Kyoko.

"Really? That's a bit of a shame, since it's my first time acting."

It might be even more regrettable for Sadako, but Tomoka Miura is Sadako's friend, so she must have already talked to her about it.

“Sadako also felt very sorry, but there was nothing she could do. All the footage we recorded was destroyed for some unknown reason, and Ms. Harase was hospitalized. We couldn’t find a replacement guest in time, and even if we re-recorded, there wasn’t enough time.”

Miura Tomoka hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Kyushiki-kun, have you encountered any strange things lately?"

"No, everything's normal." Jiu Zhiche paused. "What happened to you?"

"No... it's like there's always someone watching me from behind," Miura Tomoka laughed it off. "It must be my imagination. There's no such thing as a ghost."

Actually, after leaving that famous haunted house, she felt uneasy all over. But she was afraid that she was just being paranoid, so she didn't tell anyone. Then she heard that Kyoko Harase's fiancé had died a terrible death and that Kyoko herself was hospitalized. Gradually, she began to feel fear.

Yesterday, she was reviewing a program recording with director Keisuke Okuninushi when she suddenly heard a clicking sound from the machine. Then, the entire video froze into a wavy, snowy image.

"Sizzle~ Sizzle~"

"Beep—"

After a burst of ear-piercing noise, the snowflake image became increasingly blurry and distorted, and a hazy human figure vaguely appeared in the background!

Even though her face was obscured, that eerie feeling lingered in Tomoka Miura's mind, refusing to fade away.

In the end, all the footage from that day was corrupted and could not be repaired!

Miura Tomoka hung up the phone and took a deep breath.

The haunted house they chose for this show seems to be different from their previous ones.

It was particularly eerie, and a sense of unease always lingered in her mind.

Hopefully, nothing else will happen.

"Tomika, come here for a second!"

"it is good!"

Miura Tomoka hurried past, unnoticed by anyone, but a black aura emanated from the top of her head, making her face appear dark and lifeless.

The next day.

Jiuzhiche stood on the back hill of the school, far from the Virgin Abyss.

Next to her was Tomie, who was covering her nose, not wanting to look at the dirty mud any longer.

"What's wrong with this school! It's full of the worst, most awful faces! They're so fake they're disgusting!"

Tomie complained angrily. She had just looked around the school and most of the women coming and going could be described as "fair-skinned and beautiful" and "with regular features," but in Tomie's eyes, they were all counterfeit and inferior products, fake to death!

It looks like it was made by smearing mud from the ground onto a face and then sculpting it!

"They're under a beauty curse. I need to fix this. Otherwise, what's the point of hiring a pumping team?"

Jiuzhiche's idea was to drain the water from the Virgin Abyss, destroy the water monster's territory, then kill the water monster and find the source of the curse.

Of course, pumping water is extremely costly and requires the school's approval, since it takes place on school grounds.

The money was a "friendly" donation from Tomie. The school leaders were eager to be Tomie's slaves. When they heard that they wanted to take a cut, they immediately agreed and even said they would come to accompany Tomie in person. Tomie refused without hesitation.

The pumping team has been working for half a day now, and the water level has dropped by half.

"I am bored."

Tomie was sitting on a deck chair, wearing sunglasses. A huge parasol stood next to the deck chair, and there were snacks such as coconut juice and fruit platters on a small table. She didn't look like she was here to supervise the construction, but rather like she was here for a vacation.
