“Ugh…Ah!!!”

Screams echoed. In the small and shabby clinic, a man was lying on the bed, struggling frantically.

"Honey! Cheer up!!"

A woman in simple clothes and with her hair tied up tightly held down the struggling man and screamed loudly. Beside her, the women in the rows of black and white photos hanging on the wall stared at her intently and laughed shrilly and disturbingly.

What is this place?

Fang Zheng looked around. Judging from the decoration and equipment here, this scene should have been from forty or fifty years ago.

“Ugh…ah…”

The man's voice became weaker and weaker, and his struggle became weaker and weaker. Seeing this, the woman seemed to be more and more panicked. She held the man tightly and chanted something like "Heaven and earth, please bless me, Guanyin Bodhisattva, please show me your power."

"Mom! What happened to Dad?"

It was not until this time that Fang Zheng discovered that on the other side, a girl who looked to be about ten years old, wearing a white dress and with waist-length hair, was huddled in the corner trembling with fear, watching the scene anxiously.

"Sachiko, don't come over here!!"

The woman screamed loudly and continued to chant the spell, but her efforts were obviously ineffective. Not long after, Fang Zheng saw the man lying on the sick bed kick his legs and die.

“Aaaaah… dear!!”

Seeing her husband die, the woman was obviously broken-down. She lay on the man's body, crying loudly. At this moment, the girl also came over carefully.

"Mom, why is Dad silent? What happened to him?"

However, the woman did not answer her daughter's question, but just gritted her teeth and spoke in a low voice.

"All men who marry into the Shinozaki family will die early. Is this curse something that can never be lifted? No, I don't believe it. I will definitely make you come back to me..."

Having said this, the woman seemed to have thought of something, and she looked at the girl beside her again.

"Sachiko, I will definitely bring your father back!"

Hearing the name, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl in white again.

Sachiko Shinozaki...is she the real culprit behind all this?

So now... am I in her memory? Or am I observing a timeline that happened in the past?

The one speaking now is Sachiko Shinozaki's mother?

"I will definitely rescue you, dear..."

Looking at the body of the sick man, the woman's expression was extremely firm.

"As long as there is the Book of Shadows, if there is the Book of Shadows... then the dead can be resurrected. At that time, you will be back!!"

Seeing this, Fang Zheng had a better understanding of the situation. The woman was Shinozaki Sachiko's mother, Shinozaki Yoshie, and the one lying on the sick bed and dying was her husband. According to Shinozaki Yoshie, their family had been psychics for generations, and every man who married into the Shinozaki family would die early. Although Shinozaki Yoshie tried her best to avoid all this, it was obvious that fate could not be changed.

However, Yoshie Shinozaki did not intend to accept her fate. She tried to use a black magic book called "Book of Shadows" in the Shinozaki family's collection to resurrect her husband.

"hehe."

Seeing this, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. Are you kidding? Resurrection of the dead? Are you kidding me? Fang Zheng has traveled through so many worlds so far, and the only thing he has seen that is similar to resurrection of the dead is the Soul Resurrection Technique in the Fairy Sword World. But the Soul Resurrection Technique itself is not so much a resurrection of the dead as it is a spell similar to cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which is a way of bringing the victim back from the brink of death.

Of course, there are many limitations to the art of resurrection. For example, it is only applicable to accidental death. If you die of old age or illness, obviously no one will perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on you, so the art of resurrection will naturally be of no use.

As for the situation of the man in front of him, it seems that he has obviously been cursed by some kind of spell. If the curse can be removed or the magic can be dispelled, it might be useful, but once the person is dead... then it will be useless.

After that, Fang Zheng watched the woman take out a thick black book, and then began to tinker with some mysterious rituals and spells inside. In the end, Shinozaki Yoshie used the Book of Shadows to summon Nirvana - an ancient and evil soul that was once sealed in the Book of Shadows and connected to hell. As expected, the ritual failed in the end, and the Book of Shadows turned into Nirvana and began to run wild.

"No--!!"

Seeing the man's body disappear in the dark mist, Fang Hui screamed and curled up in pain, crying loudly. At the same time, the black mist seemed to have life, rushing towards Fang Hui and wrapping her up.

“Ah…Ah…”

Fang Hui was also extremely desperate at this moment. She gave up struggling and watched everything in a daze.

"I failed. The Book of Shadows is fake, and the resurrection recorded in it is also fake. What's the point of me living..."

"Mother!!"

However, at this moment, Fang Zheng saw Shinozaki Sachiko suddenly push open the door and rush in. Seeing the scene in front of her, she immediately shouted.

"Don't... hurt my mother!!!"

Along with the shout, azure blue light emerged and exploded from Shinozaki Sachiko's body, and then Shinozaki Sachiko opened her mouth and took a deep breath.

"call--!!"

The next moment, the entire black fog was suddenly sucked away by a vacuum cleaner and was swallowed directly into Shinozaki Sachiko's body.

“Woo…”

Sachiko Shinozaki, who swallowed the black mist, was obviously not feeling well. She covered her mouth in pain and staggered towards her mother.

"Mom, don't die... don't die..."

“Sachiko… my child, my child ahhhhhh…!!”

Seeing Sachiko crying and rushing towards her, Shinozaki Yoshie also hugged her daughter and cried bitterly.

Then, the scene changed again.

Under the dim light, Yoshie Shinozaki was writing in her diary.

"...The records in the Book of Shadows are all unconfirmed. There is no evidence to prove that everything written in it is useful. My daughter Sachiko swallowed Nirvana and used her powerful spiritual power to seal it. But I am very worried. After Sachiko dies, what will happen to the Nirvana in her body..."

Nirvana...

Hearing this, Fang Zheng frowned again. He now understood more and more why Guan Noxue said that Sachiko was different from them. From what he saw now, when Sachiko Shinozaki was alive, she was a very powerful psychic, and she also sealed Nirvana with her body... Although Fang Zheng still didn't understand what this was, from the words that Fang Hui revealed, it could be seen that this should be a powerful existence connected to hell.

No wonder Sachiko possessed such a powerful force after her death. Even the Tenjin Elementary School she created had the flavor of hell. It turned out that Sachiko sealed the entrance and exit of hell in her own body...

After this, the picture changes again.

Shinozaki Yoshie seems to have given up on resurrecting her husband. She brought Sachiko to Tenjin Elementary School, where Sachiko attended classes and Shinozaki Yoshie served as a teacher. It seems that everything is perfect. As long as it continues like this, it will only be a happy and ordinary life.

However, this is not the case.

“Please don’t do this… Principal… Ah…!!”

After school one day, Shinozaki Yoshie was attacked by the principal. In the process of getting rid of the principal, Shinozaki Yoshie slipped and fell down the stairs, breaking her neck and died.

However, this scene happened to be seen by Sachiko who came to pick up her mother.

So the principal decided to strangle Shinozaki Sachiko to death and buried her. As for Shinozaki Yoshie, it was claimed that she died accidentally.

However, the story did not end there. After killing Sachiko Shinozaki, the principal was tormented by the vengeful spirits every night. In anger, he dug up the burial place of Sachiko Shinozaki, cut off Sachiko Shinozaki's tongue, cut open her body, and vented his anger.

However, all this is of no use.

Twenty years later, the vengeful ghost of Sachiko Shinozaki reappeared and manipulated the principal's son to kidnap and kill three people, including Noyuki Kanono, Tokiko Tsuji and Ryo Yoshizawa. The principal's son committed suicide as a result, and the principal also jumped off the building.

Afterwards, Tenjin Elementary School...became a real hell.

"Um……"

Fang Zheng opened his eyes, and what he saw before him was a tattered ceiling.

"elder brother?"

Qiong lay beside Fang Zheng, staring at him quietly with her eyes, a slight blush on her face.

"I just... seemed to have had a very strange dream."

"Me too, that should be the reason for all this..."

Through the previous dream, Fang Zheng finally figured out the reason for the existence of Tenjin Elementary School. Shinozaki Sachiko had Nirvana sealed in her body, but she was accidentally killed by the principal. Shinozaki Sachiko herself had very strong spiritual power, and the resentment of her death was so great that she naturally turned into a vengeful spirit and took revenge on the principal. Not only that, she also used the Nirvana sealed in her body to create a new hell - Tenjin Elementary School.

So it is said that lust is like a sword hanging over your head.

All we can say is that the principal committed a sin and killed so many people. Of course, he is still repeating the tragic cycle now - everyone trapped in Tianshen Elementary School will continue to repeat the process of his or her own death. After so many years, I don't know if the principal's number of jumps from the building has reached the Guinness World Record.

Speaking of a record like "Suicide by jumping off a building XXX times in a row", is Guinness really willing to accept it?

"Get up."

Fang Zheng touched Qiong's head and sat up.

"Get dressed, we should leave here. After all, this is not a place to stay for long."

"Um……"

Qiong also nodded. Although she wanted to stick to Fang Zheng all the time, the current environment was not suitable for intimacy. Moreover, with Fang Zheng's "teaching by example", Qiong had learned how to control the power in her blood. She finally put away her horns and tail, which made her relax a lot.

"What are we going to do next, bro?"

"Go find the last survivor. There should be another person trapped here."

It was not until this time that Fang Zheng remembered Mochida Tetsuo... But it didn't matter to him. She was just a stranger, and a night of spring is worth a thousand gold. Isn't it obvious who is more important, a stranger or his own sister?

Now Fang Zheng planned to take Qiong to search again. If they could find it, that would be great. If not, forget it...

And about Sachiko Shinozaki...

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng frowned.

He now understood why the system prompted that the world core was under attack when he destroyed Tianshen Primary School. Tianshen Primary School was a reproduction of part of the hell in this world. If Fang Zheng burned Tianshen Primary School, it would be equivalent to directly burning down the hell in this world... It would be strange if this wasn't a mess.

And now it seems that solving this problem...will still fall on Sachiko Shinozaki's shoulders.
