Even if Fang Zheng was beaten to death, he would never have thought that Tomie would suddenly appear out of nowhere.
This immediately made him feel a little worried, but fortunately, the world's first video recorder would not be developed for another ten years, so at least he didn't have to worry about Sadako joining in the fun.
In fact, it can only be blamed on this damn Cthulhu world for not being able to use the "Annunciation Volume", otherwise Fang Zheng would have solved the problem by simply flipping through the book. But now... it seems a bit troublesome.
Although Tomie's home address was registered, it was also burned to ruins. It was very difficult to find a specific person in the vast crowd - although that was what Fang Zheng said, it was not completely without a solution.
If you can't find her, just let her come out by herself.
And the solution... is very simple.
The melodious sound of guitar rang out on the street. The students walked out of the school gate and soon saw a very handsome young man in a windbreaker singing by the flower bed on the other side of the street.
"Hey, look over there!"
"Wow, what kind of idol is that? Is he filming a show?"
"But we didn't see the photographer...?"
"Why not go over and take a look."
The students were talking about it, and curiously gathered in groups of three or five. Especially the female students, staring at each other with shining eyes. No wonder they lost their composure, it was because the young man in front of them was too handsome. He was wearing a black windbreaker, and he looked unrestrained. He played and sang a guitar in his hand, and his magnetic voice echoed in everyone's ears along with the song, making people feel intoxicated.
“So handsome…!”
"He sings beautifully, is he a singer?"
"No, I haven't."
"It's much better than what those singers on TV sing!"
Young people of this era didn't have much entertainment, so soon, the rumor about this street singer spread quickly among the surrounding students. He would always appear outside the school after school, play and sing for an hour, and then leave. He would only stay in each place for three days, which made many students very interested in this mysterious young man. Some students even became his little fans and followed him to other places to listen to his songs.
But for others...
"Master, what's the point of this?"
Seeing Fang Zheng opening the guitar case again, taking out the guitar and sitting beside the flower bed, Nymph, who was floating in the air invisibly, asked in confusion.
"Aren't we looking for that woman named Tomie?"
"With so many people, how can we figure out when to go? And we have no information about the woman named Tomie, so I plan to just fish her out... just like fishing."
"Master, do you think she will take the bait?"
"That's right. If my idea is correct, Tomie will definitely take the bait."
Fang Zheng had also read stories about Tomie. Apart from her special abilities like being unkillable, Tomie was actually the most common type of green tea bitch, scheming bitch, and white lotus bitch in modern times. She was greedy, willful, and wanted to conquer all the men in the world.
A woman like this will definitely not let go of those good men.
And a perfect man like Fang Zheng would definitely not be let off by the other party.
"But it seems that no one like this has appeared in the past few days?"
"My hunch is very accurate. It's just a matter of time."
Just at this moment, the bell rang for the end of get out of class, and Fang Zheng began to tune his guitar again, and then started his "singing for money" plan once again.
This time Fang Zheng's singing was still very successful, or because of the increase in rumors, the number of people coming to listen to his songs was increasing, so Fang Zheng had to move from the street to a small park not far away. Otherwise, it might directly block the traffic.
Of course, after the performance, the crowd dispersed. There were even a few students from the Miss Girls' School who wanted to invite Fang Zheng to dinner... Some people also said that their parents were high-ranking figures in the entertainment industry and could help Fang Zheng make his debut. Unfortunately, Fang Zheng had other intentions, so he smiled and declined, leaving those girls to leave unwillingly.
At this moment, it was getting dark.
"call……"
Fang Zheng packed up his guitar, put it on his back, and prepared to leave the park. At this moment, he saw a girl with waist-length black hair, fair skin, and wearing a uniform appeared at the entrance of the park, looking at him with a smile.
"hello."
"Hello."
Fang Zheng nodded at the girl. He didn't know her. In fact, Tomie's image has never been fixed in the comics and movies, but it doesn't matter, because no matter what Tomie looks like, as long as you see the mole under her eye, you can confirm her true identity.
“You play the guitar very well.”
The girl looked at Fang Zheng with a smile, as if she was an innocent little girl looking at her idol with admiration - one had to admit that as one of the most famous green tea bitches in Japan, Tomie had solid basic skills. Generally speaking, when being stared at like this by a beautiful girl, most men would feel flattered.
Not only that, her praise was also very appropriate and on point. After all, Fang Zheng was born a performer, and his proficiency in musical instruments must be higher than his singing. Being able to hear this meant that the girl in front of him really listened to his performance carefully.
Well, it's like in an e-sports article, if a female supporting character says to the male protagonist, "Your Yasuo is so awesome, he killed so many people!", then the male protagonist will probably just think she is vulgar. I performed so many god-level operations, and you only care about how many people I killed?
But if the other party blinks and says, "You dodged the hook so cleverly just now, how did you know that someone was ambushing?", the male protagonist will immediately feel like he has met a soulmate, and will say, "Well, this is an interesting woman", and may even directly pull the two of them over to study game skills.
"Thanks."
However, Fang Zheng was of course too lazy to follow this routine. In fact, as long as he confirmed that the other party was Tomie, the rest would be no problem for him.
"But don't you think you need a partner?"
"Um, sorry, I'm not interested."
Fang Zheng looked the girl up and down, then shook his head.
"Sorry, I have to leave first."
After saying this, Fang Zheng turned and left, while the girl stood in the park, staring at his back viciously, like a jackal staring at its prey.
"Nymph."
After leaving the park, Fang Zheng immediately contacted Nymph.
"Lock on that woman."
"Hey? Is that her?"
"Yes, she is Tomie. Follow her, lock her down, find out where she lives, and then we can take action directly... Well, now I'm going to have a meal first."
"Yes, Master."
After handing the remaining tasks to Nymph, Fang Zheng went to a nearby ramen shop humming a song. However, just as he was about to enjoy the ramen, Nymph's voice rang in Fang Zheng's ears.
"Report to the master, the target has been attacked."
"…attack?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng was stunned.
"Yes, the target left the park after that and walked towards the residential area along another road, but a man suddenly appeared and attacked her. He stabbed the target several times with a fruit knife, but before the target died, the man was discovered by another passerby and ran away."
"…Did you follow the attacker?"
"I've released the beacon for tracking."
"Well done, what about Tomie?"
"The target was currently taken back to his residence by passers-by."
"Really..."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but have a bad premonition. Sure enough, not long after, Nymph's voice sounded again.
"Reporting to the master, the beacon has sent a message that the attacker returned to another apartment and met with a person who seemed to be the target... According to the DNA test results, the DNA match between the two parties is 99.99%..."
"Fuck, that's what I was worried about!"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng's face suddenly darkened.
If it was just Tomie, Fang Zheng would not be afraid at all. But what was he afraid of? He was afraid of Tomie's division and reproduction!
It's easy to find one Tomie, but when one Tomie becomes a bunch of Tomies, who knows which Tomie got the Silver Key? !
But what’s worse is…
"Owner."
"What happened again?"
"I just found someone watching outside the residence of target number two. I placed a beacon to track him and found that he went to an apartment building in another area to meet another suspected target..."
“…”
At this time, Fang Zheng was completely speechless.
Finally, when Nymph came back to report in the early hours of the morning, she had already locked on to a total of 43 Tomies. And according to the information that Nymph overheard, these Tomies obviously knew that there was a Tomie who had obtained the Silver Key, and they were now looking for that Tomie everywhere, trying to kill her and obtain the Silver Key from her.
But no one knows which Tomie holds the Silver Key. However, it doesn’t matter to the other Tomies. Even without the Silver Key, they will kill each other anyway.
This is really a large-scale real-life version of Werewolf.
Fang Zheng couldn't let these Tomie continue. Apart from their spiritual charm and immortality, they were nothing but weaklings. Using men to kill people was fine, but even when they killed people, they couldn't kill properly. The result was that the more they killed, the more they killed... Maybe by the time this night was over, forty-three would become eighty-six.
At this point, there is only one way.
"Let's go and capture all these Tomie!"
