This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

'I've had families too, and I know how cruel it is for them to take the lives of young children, but there's no way...I can't help it...there's no way. '

'It takes a lot to bring the dead back to life...For Haruna...I am willing to sacrifice everything I have...As long as doing so can bring Reiko back...I have no complaints or regrets.' '

The handwriting on it is neat, and it looks like there is not much pressure on Beichuan Temple.

But Beichuan Temple felt that something was wrong when he saw the words in the past.

Suppressing his temper, Beichuan Temple continued to look down.

‘I’m a folklore scholar, and that time I took my daughters Haruna and Reiko to watch the wind in a mansion area left by the ancestors. It was raining heavily that day...The muddy mountain road made it difficult to walk...I took my daughter and wife and walked to the station with difficulty, but that was the beginning of the nightmare...'

Driven by the rain, the loose-structured earth and stones rumbled down from the top of the head.

This is not a mudslide, but a simple mountain road landslide.

A huge rolling stone fell suddenly, hitting Ryo Kitano's daughter Haruna Kitano in an instant.

Just a falling rock had already crushed her daughter into a pulp.

The daughter's blue and white arms that were hanging out weakly...continuously oozing blood and being washed away by the heavy rain made Ryo Kitano's wife, Reiko Kitano, collapse immediately.

The daughter who was still talking and laughing at one moment has turned into a puddle of mud in the next moment, leaving only a severed hand that is still intact.

‘During that folklore test, I discovered the spell notes left by the ancestors. I used all my remaining energy to study those spells, hoping to find a way to bring the dead back to life... Finally I got my wish... But that method... so cruel, it really is to resurrect the dead Can it be used? '

"Using the intact body of the deceased as a medium, a complete person can be pieced together from the broken body parts of children... I can feel that this terrifying and ominous spell is eroding my heart..."

When he arrived here, Ryo Kitano's handwriting was already a little scribbled.

But he seemed to forcibly lift his spirits and continued to write down.

'I have to do it...for Reiko, for Haruna...I hope God can protect my sanity from being corrupted by evil spirits. '

The hooks and horizontal and vertical strokes of these Japanese symbols seem to carry a kind of unwavering cruelty.

"..." Beichuan Temple.

So has he headed towards the road of no return to resurrect his daughter? This can also explain why Kitano Ryo killed the children.

But--

"It's still not right." Beichuan Temple frowned.

Yes, even if the reason is clearly written here, Ryo Kitano's confession is also clear.

But still not right.

Beichuan Temple let out a breath, stretched out his hand and continued to rummage.

'I killed someone. The child's name is Nakaji, I took out his intestines, it stinks... By the way... blood can't be wasted. '

The handwriting ended temporarily at this line, but the heart-pounding madness had just kicked off.

Beichuan Temple continued to look down.

'My daughter...the blood should be enough...the blood in the bath...Can your severed hand communicate with your soul in the underworld? '

Here is a question sentence, which shows that Ryo Kitano has no bottom in his heart, but the handwriting that gradually became scribbled and gradually became crazy does not only mean these things...

The content of the next diary is very simple.

Most of it is about what he did after the murder, and he kept asking questions.

Can the severed hand communicate with the soul?

Can the severed hand communicate with the soul?

 …

This rhetorical question pattern appeared seven or eight times in total, and it didn't change until the ninth time——

'Hehe...It seems that a child has already discovered something...But I have him...As long as he is there, no matter what happens, there is no need to worry. '

Another long, unintelligible scribble.

Ryo Kitano's handwriting has become more and more casual, and the elongated lines can only be barely read, making people feel uncomfortable at first glance.

'I take the cutest head as yours, my daughter. '

'I take my best arms as your daughter's arms. '

'I regard the healthiest legs as your daughter's legs. '

'I will take the most capable internal organs as your internal organs. '

'Daughter daughter daughter daughter daughter daughter daughter daughter daughter daughter daughter daughter—'

quiet--

Countless blood-red 'daughters' were written in disorder on the next page.

At the first glance, people's hairs stand on end, and their bodies seem to be shaking.

These words are like real human eyes, staring at Beichuan Temple.

In the sight of Beichuan Temple, these words seemed to be shaking, twisting and twitching——

Faced with such a strange and terrifying scene, Beichuan Temple felt nothing. He turned the diary to the next page and covered up all those words on the previous page.

This page of the diary has only one line.

A simple line of words.

'Why, still not alive? '

It seems that the ceremony failed, and Haruna Kitano did not wake up as Ryo Kitano expected.

Beichuan Temple Look to the next page.

On this page, Ryo Kitano wrote the answer to the failure of the ceremony.

‘The ceremony was missing one vital thing. '

There seemed to be something whispering in his ears.

Beichuan Temple narrowed his eyes and continued to look.

'That is the living...the living and strong soul, which will be used as a ticket to communicate with the underworld...Haruna's soul will be separated from the depths of the underworld. '

What followed was a tone of mad excitement that concealed tyrannical excitement.

‘You should have understood it when you saw this, right? '

'Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! ! ! ! '

‘You are the strong soul I choose! A sacrifice to bring Haruna back to life! Do you think I didn't find the map hidden under the painting assignment? ! '

‘Do you think I didn’t find out the last letter of those damn brats? I know it all! I understand everything! But I didn't say it! To be precise, I didn't write it down! You are now infected with the curse I set! '

'Look at your chest! No matter where you go, your soul will eventually return to the Pavilion of Rain! Your flesh and blood will be Haruna's flesh and blood! Your soul will be exchanged for Haruna's soul! Hahaha——You who can persist in reading this page must have a more tenacious soul than ordinary people, and that soul will also withstand the erosion of the Sanzu River and bring Haruna back. '

‘Only by killing me can the curse be completely removed! But now I have been reborn as the most terrifying wraith! kill me...can you do it? '

Santu River.

This is a Japanese legend about the underworld.

It is said that people will cross a river after they die. The name of this river is Santu River. The Santu River will have different flow rates according to the good deeds a person has done in his life. If it is a sinful person, it will be a torrent, and it will fall into the river in an instant. If it is an ordinary person who is impartial, it will be an ordinary river, which is urgent and slow. If it is a good person, the river will be gentle. and go. No waves. This is the origin of "Santu" in Santuchuan.

But Beichuan Temple ignored the legend of the underworld, he just flicked his fingers, and his heart moved.

Sure enough, there is fraud.

Because Kitano Ryo didn't show any remorse when he killed Matsumoto Kuwon and the others, so Kitagawa Temple didn't think that the other party was the kind of person who honestly shed crocodile tears.

He had expected this kind of thing to happen a long time ago, so he let Xi Kutiao pitifully cover his whole body with her kind thoughts.

Now there is no mark on his chest, and there is no slight discomfort in his body.

Presumably, under Xi Kutiao's poor protection, the other party's curse didn't have half the effect.

and--

In Beichuan Temple's hand, a resident fire was burning ragingly, and burned this diary full of horror and resentment.

Regardless of whether he was cursed or not, Beichuan Temple also did not want to give up the opponent's skill points.

Under Beichuanji's wrist, Kanesada's cold light was shining, his eyes were gloomy, and he walked towards the courtyard step by step.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in his ears——

'Task completion condition (1) is achieved. '

‘Please choose a reward after leaving the spiritual domain. '

Beichuan Temple paused at the foot, and then glanced at the Kagura bell that kept jingling.

Outside the corridor, there were more than 20 resentful spirits standing on both sides, their venomous eyes fixed on Beichuan Temple.

In addition to the dead children, there are also some ghosts turned into by the staff.

Presumably these staff were coaxed to work here by Ryo Kitano's rhetoric or supernatural abilities.

Human desires are endless, so they also turned into wraiths and died here.

Beichuan Temple took a breath, and then shook his feet——

Kanesada's cold light flickered, and the wraith's shrill scream followed.

 …

Needless to say, the process of killing mobs, after Beichuan Temple killed all the remaining wraiths, opened the door to the atrium.

On the children's last letter, Beichuan Temple learned that the secret passage was in a certain corner.

After searching around, he found that there was a piece of grass that made a different sound when he stepped on it.

And this is probably where the secret door exists.

Beichuan Temple stretched out his hand to feel for it, and then he touched something similar to a handle.

With both hands, he violently opened up this piece of land!

It seems that because it has not been opened for a long time, the door of the secret passage was lifted with a piercing sound of 'clicking'.

In front of him was the familiar underground passage, and Beichuan Temple walked down without hesitation.

Water seeps everywhere in this secret passage, and slippery moss is left on the corridor stairs.

Beichuan Temple touched his chin.

Has such a permeable underground passage been submerged by stagnant water?

But what he was worried about did not happen in the end.

Although the floor of the stairs is smooth, there is no half-accumulation of water. It seems that some treatment has been done to dredge the water channel.

Beichuan Temple continued walking down with a flashlight, and heard the rumbling sound of the underground passage above being closed.

He was quite satisfied with the other party's sensible action, so he didn't bother about being locked at the entrance to the secret passage.

He continued down.

The deeper you go, the more you can smell the smell of rotting corpses and the disgusting smell of blood.

finally.

Beichuan Temple has come to an end.

In front of it is a basement that resembles a bathroom decoration.

In the center of the basement was a long blood-stained table. There were iron shackles on the long table. Judging from the size, it was known that it was used to fix children.

The black blood, the hideous knife marks, and the bloody knives placed on the other wall all tell the tragedy that happened here.

This place is inexplicably electrified, bright and majestic, completely different from the Rain Pavilion that has been completely reduced to ruins above.

Beichuan Temple walked into this basement.

There is also a small room behind this basement.

Matsumoto's head, Fujiwara Nagakawa's hands, Katori Yukizu's legs, Nakiki's internal organs, and various children's organs and corpses must be hidden there.

Thinking of this, Kitagawa Temple slowly pulled out Kanesada and walked towards that room.

But--

Beichuan Temple stopped suddenly and turned to look at the scene behind him.

The afterimage of the scene appeared again.

A boy in ordinary clothes was kneeling in front of a kind-looking middle-aged man, crying and begging him to spare his life.

Under such a close observation, Beichuan Temple could even see the soaring killing intent flashing across the face of the middle-aged man.

But in the end, the middle-aged man didn't kill the boy. Instead, he lifted him up, approached his ear with a sinister smile, and slowly said a sentence that made the other person's face change drastically.

Beichuan Temple could just hear it.

You can also see the little boy frantically nodding in agreement in order to protect himself.

that kid is...

Beichuan Temple's eyes flashed.

The afterimage dissipated——

The scene returns to the present again.

Dim lights, long empty tables and——

A middle-aged wraith with a distorted figure and a blue complexion.

Ryo Kitano appeared.

He was holding that terrifying and hideous meat cleaver in his hand, and the sharp blade was still stained with some human skin tissue and hair.

Looking at Ryo Kitano, Beichuan Temple was not surprised.

He took out Kanesada, and twisted the dead air in his other hand, quickly forming a black sledgehammer.

It seems that because of the mantra on his body, Beichuan Temple can even feel a trace of human wisdom flashing in Kitano Ryo's eyes from time to time.

That is to say, after overtaking the opponent, maybe there will be a skill book burst out?

Beichuan Temple's expression changed a little, he just felt a little excited.

He has an indescribable enthusiasm for the skill book. After all, compared with the skills that the skill points light up, the skills he explored in the skill book are undoubtedly more mellow and natural...

Besides, Ryo Kitano should be at the level of a medium-level Wraith or a medium-high level Wraith. If he gets rid of him, it will definitely be a good body strengthening and skill points.

And he might still have the spell notes that Beichuan Temple has been thinking about all the time.

Just get rid of him—

It's a good deal no matter what.

Kanesada in Kitagawa Temple's hands seemed to feel his mood, and the bloody dagger tip shone with crystal brilliance.

One side needs the soul of the other.

One party needs the skill points and skill books of the other party.

The stakes are aligned!
