Terraria: The Digitalized Me Is Causing Chaos

The morning sun rose.

Yang Tao stood before the house, a dwelling steeped in resentment. The thick miasma of malice churned and roiled around it.

This was the home of Kayako.

“Excuse me, is there something I can help you with?”

A voice broke the silence beside Yang Tao. A young woman in a long, white-gold dress stood beside him, smiling, though a hint of wariness flickered in her eyes.

Seeing the woman, Yang Tao confirmed his location in the timeline, and he pulled out his phone and began typing.

“Hello, Madam.”

“Are you the owner of this house?”

Noritoshi Saeki nodded, her posture becoming even more guarded.

A strange man appearing at her doorstep, staring intently at her house – his behavior was highly suspicious. If she and her family hadn't just moved in, she would have already called the police.

“Are you a neighbor from around here?”

Yang Tao shook his head, a sincere smile gracing his face.

“No, I'm a Taoist priest. You could think of me as an exorcist or an Onmyoji. I happened to pass by and noticed the heavy resentment within this house, and I became a bit engrossed.”

“I believe you, Madam, must have sensed something amiss as well, haven’t you?”

Hearing Yang Tao's words, Noritoshi Saeki couldn't help but recall the strange sounds that had suddenly appeared, the clutter that never seemed to stay tidy, and the occasional meowing.

A sense of unease crept into her heart.

“Mr. Exorcist, there have indeed been some unusual occurrences. I wonder, what could be the cause?”

Seeing the woman's anxiousness, Yang Tao's smile grew even more sincere. “It's nothing much. It's just that the previous occupants of this house haven't been willing to leave, including their black cat.”

Upon hearing "black cat," Noritoshi Saeki's pupils constricted. She had seen the black cat in the house. At first, she had assumed it was a stray that had accidentally wandered in, but after searching for it without success, she had dismissed it.

But now, with Yang Tao's words, Noritoshi Saeki felt a chill run down her spine.

Just then, Yang Tao suddenly patted Noritoshi Saeki on the shoulder, causing her to look at him, puzzled.

“Look!”

Yang Tao pointed towards the second-floor window.

Noritoshi Saeki followed his gaze and saw a boy of about seven or eight years old standing naked on the second floor.

The boy's body and face were an eerie bluish-purple, and he stared blankly at the two people at the door, creating an indescribable sense of unease.

That little boy was Kayako's son, Toshio Saeki, a very pitiful child.

Yang Tao waved at Toshio, but Toshio ignored him completely, turned, and ran away.

Noritoshi Saeki's face had turned deathly pale. She reached out and grabbed Yang Tao's arm, her voice trembling as she asked, “Sir, that… that child, could he be…”

“Yes, that's Toshio Saeki. A very adorable little boy, isn't he?”

Noritoshi Saeki couldn't believe what she was hearing.

Adorable? You call that adorable?

Yang Tao, seeing Noritoshi Saeki's fear, narrowed his eyes slightly and held his phone up to her face, displaying a line of text.

“Madam, you wouldn't want your family to be killed by vengeful spirits, would you?”

… …

Led by Noritoshi Saeki, Yang Tao entered Kayako's house. The moment he stepped into the entryway, he felt a sense of being watched.

Yang Tao paid no heed and walked inside.

Kayako was very efficient in her "work." She would kill anyone who entered this house, regardless of whether they left.

Her methods were bizarre and cruel.

Yang Tao felt no sympathy for Kayako's fate.

Kayako herself was a pervert, who just happened to marry Takeo Saeki, a man who was equally twisted.

However, she had one admirable quality: after becoming a ghost, she slaughtered everyone equally.

She never discriminated based on gender or age. As long as you dared to come, she dared to kill, showing no prejudice whatsoever.

Thump, thump, thump…

The sound of running came from the second floor. Without a doubt, it was that mischievous child, Toshio.

Noritoshi Saeki's body went limp, and she was about to collapse to the ground when Yang Tao swiftly supported her soft frame.

“Please be careful.”

“I’m… I’m sorry!”

Just then, the door suddenly opened, and a man walked in from outside with a smile on his face.

Yang Tao, having steadied Noritoshi Saeki, released her and looked at the completely stunned homeowner, Takeo, and said, “Would you believe me if I told you I was here to exorcise demons?”

Needless to say, Takeo didn't believe him. Even he himself wouldn't believe such a cliché in this situation.

Yang Tao was already prepared to forcibly take Kayako back.

He sighed inwardly, lamenting the missed opportunity to show off. What a pity.

“I believe you!”

? ? ?

Is this old man really okay?

Or have I become part of your couple's party?

But Noritoshi Saeki smiled and ran to embrace Takeo, which made Yang Tao truly confused about his role.

However, the confusion didn't last long. Yang Tao understood that after Noritoshi Saeki believed Yang Tao's words, she had immediately texted her husband, Takeo.

That was why Takeo, who should have been at work, had suddenly rushed back.

Yang Tao nodded with some disappointment. The three of them entered Takeo's mother's room.

An elderly woman with completely white hair lay on the tatami mat, her hands placed over her eyes, but the gaps between her fingers were very wide.

This was a Japanese legend: if you put your hands over your eyes and looked through the gaps between your fingers, you could see the figures of ghosts.

The old woman was surrounded by heavy resentment. Clearly, Kayako, or rather, Toshio, had first made contact with this immobile old woman.

Yang Tao didn't waste any words. He took out an exorcism talisman and stuck it on the old woman's forehead. Instantly, a large amount of black miasma poured out of the old woman's body.

A strange meowing sound came from the doorway.

Yang Tao turned his head and saw Toshio, mouth open and meowing, wearing only a small pair of underwear, turn and run away.

“Oh ho, a living corpse!”

At first, he had thought that Toshio was also a ghost, but after seeing Toshio, he knew he was wrong.

Toshio was currently in a state of neither life nor death, which was why Toshio had two forms in the movie.

Toshio's soul was now trapped in his body, unable to live and unable to die, without even the chance to reincarnate.

After the resentment was dispelled, the old woman, who had been staring with wide eyes and muttering, immediately fell asleep, clearly exhausted.

Yang Tao placed a calming talisman on her, and he saw a shadowy figure walk in from outside, different from Toshio.

Takeo and Noritoshi Saeki didn't notice the presence of the other person. Looking at the ghost about to possess Takeo,

Yang Tao took out another jar from his backpack, quickly took two steps forward, reached out, grabbed Takeo's head, and rudely stuffed him into the jar.

“Got one…”
