Chapter 54

His friend beside him also looked uneasy. Upon hearing this, the friend suddenly stopped in his tracks, looked at the speaker, and his lips trembled as if he wanted to say something.

"Don't say it!"

The man suddenly covered his friend's mouth as he began to speak, preventing him from saying the name.

"Hurry, hurry!"

His voice suddenly became hoarse, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead. At that moment, the two of them felt as if time had stood still, and a chilling aura clung to their backs, biting them to the bone.

Their steps were weak, and they practically tumbled and crawled out of the darkness and into the brightly lit road illuminated by streetlights. They didn't even have the courage to look back; their hearts were pounding so hard they felt like they were about to burst out of their chests. Originally intending to go home, the two of them simply didn't have the courage to separate. They turned around and went back to the internet cafe where they had just been. When the sounds of people coming and going from the internet cafe reached their ears, the two of them, pale-faced, took out a cigarette and lit it with trembling hands.

That blue light

Could it be that...

Are they messengers sent by heaven to deal with that demon?

The two looked at each other's extremely pale faces and the beads of sweat on their foreheads, and were unable to help but fall into great terror. If it could be explained as a hallucination if only one person saw it, how could it be explained as two people seeing it at the same time?

Why,

Why can we see her?

Mingming,

Someone clearly said,

Anyone who has seen her will not be able to go on living!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

The wind howled.

The night sky was vast, and Jiang Fan flew tirelessly for about ten minutes before gradually slowing down and finally stopping at an altitude of at least two thousand meters above the ground. The strong winds at high altitudes caused the spiritual energy protecting Jiang Fan's body to dim somewhat. The little dog was held in Jiang Fan's arms, and the two of them remained suspended more than two thousand meters above the ground, looking down at the earth.

"Woof!"

"Woof woof woof!"

The puppy barked incessantly, utterly terrified by what it saw. In its eyes, the once towering buildings now seemed as insignificant as a speck of dust, and the surrounding area was faintly blue. The night sky above was even darker at this height, and the unparalleled pure darkness made it feel as if its soul had been sucked away with just a glance.

Jiang Fan tucked the thin puppy into his arms and wrapped it in his coat. With the protection of his spiritual energy shield, the strong wind was only noisier. When it actually blew on him, it only made the spiritual energy shield a little dimmer, and it didn't even mess up Jiang Fan's hair.

"Hmph hmph hmph..."

The puppy gradually stopped barking in the warm embrace and lay motionless, its little paws gripping the clothes tightly, as if afraid of hurting the person holding it.

Feeling a warmth emanating from his chest, Jiang Fan, without a moment to reflect, touched his back.

Following,

He touched a book.

After his body was tempered by spiritual energy, Jiang Fan could already see in the dark. He saw that what he was holding was not a book, but a brown scrapbook that looked a bit dirty from long-term use. He turned to a page and saw your handwriting inside. The handwriting was messy and looked like a child's clumsy handwriting. More importantly, although the diary was clearly written in Japanese, he, who had never studied Japanese, was able to understand it.

Jiang Fan understood.

This is Kayako; I want to see it for myself.

Holding Kayako's diary, Jiang Fan hesitated, unsure whether he should open it. Opening it might expose him to Kayako's curse, trapping him in her relentless pursuit. But if he didn't open it, would he truly be safe, having already entered Kayako's house?

Open,

Having come this far, could things get any worse?

"...I finally got the key to Kobayashi's apartment yesterday, because it had fallen under the chair Kobayashi was sitting in, and there was a Mickey Mouse keychain hanging from it... Today, using that found key, I sneaked into Kobayashi's house for the first time. Kobayashi's house was cleaner than I expected, the kitchen was very tidy, there were beautiful prints on the walls, potted plants in the corners, and several photos of Kobayashi and Midorikawa Manami on the table. I opened the wardrobe drawer with suspicion, and inside, besides Kobayashi's clothes, there were also women's clothes and underwear..." Clothes. It must be Midorikawa Manami's. I was furious and took all the photos and Midorikawa Manami's underwear from the table… Today I also sneaked into Kobayashi's house and slept in Kobayashi's bed for the first time. Surrounded by Kobayashi's scent, I felt incredibly happy. I had never felt so happy before, so immersed in happiness that I accidentally delayed until I heard someone open the door. I frantically hid under the bed, and luckily, only Kobayashi was there. That night, I stayed under the bed watching Kobayashi…”

Always,

Staying under the bed?

Is someone staring at you while you're sleeping? Jiang Fan felt uneasy.

Continue reading,

"As usual, I hid under Kobayashi's bed. Kobayashi and Midorikawa Manami came back together. Neither of them noticed me hiding under the bed, and then they did filthy things on top of me, several times throughout the night. You slut! Unforgivable… Last night, Kobayashi didn't know I was down there, moaning. Hearing the mattress springs creaking above me, I could feel Kobayashi thinking of me, thinking of my naked body and my moaning…"

Seeing this, Jiang Fan finally understood why Kayako's husband was so furious after reading her diary in the movie.

This distorted love,

It's really unbearable.

but,

This wasn't the main point. High in the air, Jiang Fan continued flipping through the pages, "...Today, Gang Xiong, who found this notebook, killed me. In a fit of mad rage, he kicked me down the stairs, tied me to the foot of the bed, and after repeatedly insulting, beating, kicking, and bullying me, he used a folding knife to cut my body into a thousand pieces before killing me. Then he put my body in a plastic bag used for garbage and placed it on the ceiling..."

That's true, Jiang Fan knew; it was indeed like that in the movie.

only,

Did Kayako continue writing this diary after her death?

Jiang Fan continued reading, hoping to find some way to subdue Kayako. "...Three days after I was murdered, Takeo, driven by revenge, went to Kobayashi's house and killed the pregnant Midorikawa Manami, removing the female fetus inside. After that, I summoned Kobayashi to my side, and then used a thick-bladed kitchen knife to kill Takeo in Kobayashi's house as well..."

"...I killed the entire Murakami family who moved into my house. I will never allow those guys to live happily under my watchful eyes!"

"...I killed Kitada Hiroshi and his wife..."
