But,
Why is there no image of Kobayashi in my memory? I loved him so much, I loved him so unconditionally...
once?
Yes,
That was in the past.
The moment he told me to get out of his sight, my unwavering love for him may have already vanished.
The dim lights gradually went out, leaving only a faint blue glow in the room. Kayako knelt on the spot, her face looking upwards, her arms outstretched. Her entire soul remained in this posture, welcoming the lightning orb that was surrounded by electric sparks. An arc appeared on her face, but because her face was covered with large scars, she looked extremely ferocious.
The lightning orb was incredibly fast, striking Kayako in an instant. But the moment it hit her, the blue and green light emanating from the orb caused the bloodstains on Kayako's body to disappear, and her long wounds to heal. Before the light faded, Kayako regained her youthful beauty.
"Meow!"
A cat's meow could be heard.
On the dark ceiling, Jiang Fan heard the cat's meow, which had been devoid of any emotion from the beginning. It was Junxiong's cry, a mournful sound emanating from Yujiayezi when her soul was completely annihilated by the Thunder Pearl.
The ceiling began to shake, and dust fell.
then.
A pale child's body appeared where Kayako had vanished. He kept meowing, each sound shrill and mournful. He didn't even glance back at Jiang Fan. Bathed in the azure light, he lay prostrate on the ground, resting against the spot where his mother's soul had been annihilated, motionless.
Jiang Fan stood still, taking in the entire scene before him with a cold expression.
Is it sad?
Is it pitiful?
Perhaps.
But Jiang Fan was able to control his emotions and would never be swayed by the immediate tragedy. He knew how innocent those who died at Kayako's hands were. Before they died, they not only endured terrifying mental torture, but they were also devoured by resentment after death. Did they deserve to die? Did they deserve to die from someone else's mindless hatred? How helpless and sorrowful they must have felt as they hid in the shadows, watching death approach step by step!
coconut milk,
They deserve to die!
Children are subject to punishment for making mistakes, let alone adults who still retain their reason.
Without rules,
It cannot be accomplished in a square or a circle.
If everyone who suffers misfortune can be turned into a vengeful ghost and take revenge on the world at will, then what peace and happiness can there be in this world? Kayako has been rampaging in this world for so long and has harmed so many innocent people, so why has she never been taken away by the underworld officials? Does this world not have an underworld?
But that's absolutely impossible.
This world,
There are temples.
With merit and spiritual power, there must also be underworld enforcers such as ghost messengers. It's just that for some reason, Kayako escaped this calamity.
Jiang Fan was not a ghost messenger. He knew very well that he was just a lucky person who had obtained a great opportunity by chance. In this world full of mystery and where everything was unknown, he was not much stronger than Kayako. If he made a mistake on his future path, he might end up a hundred times more miserable than Kayako.
so,
Jiang Fan didn't want to,
He never intended to call himself a messenger of the underworld. He only wanted to carry food into his burrow as best he could, like a mouse hiding underground, without anyone noticing him. Jiang Fan's state of mind was actually somewhat in line with the Taoist mindset: just go with the flow, and the cause and effect that he was meant to encounter would naturally come to pass.
There are countless injustices in the world.
Own,
It can't be resolved.
The thunder and rain outside the window grew more intense, the dark sky seemed to press down, countless dark clouds collided with a deafening roar, thunder rumbled, and torrential rain poured down.
Jiang Fan, who hadn't moved for a long time, finally made a move. He turned around and walked down the stairs.
Hearing the noise, Junxiong, who was lying there, raised his head. His tearful eyes were filled with hatred. He would remember the figure that destroyed his mother. When he had enough power in the future, he would definitely tear that figure to shreds. He would definitely!
"Meow?"
As Junxiong tried to stand up, he suddenly realized that his body was being pressed to the ground by an invisible force, and he couldn't move at all.
He was puzzled.
at the same time,
He was also terrified.
"Splash splash splash..."
Rain fell from the sky, sprinkling onto Jiang Fan as he stepped out of the courtyard. He had somehow concealed the spiritual energy emanating from his body, so the raindrops, as big as soybeans, fell directly onto him. Soon, Jiang Fan was covered in water stains, but the entrance hall and the stairs behind him were surrounded by a blue light, especially the second floor of the house, which was filled with a dazzling blue light, mixed with golden light.
Reach out,
The rain felt cool on my skin.
As Jiang Fan's body left the ground, gusts of wind flowing between heaven and earth were drawn to him, gently lifting him into the sky. He stopped mid-air, with Kayako's home beneath his feet, a place of resentment that had claimed the lives of countless innocent people.
Let the rain and wind blow against your face,
