Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a strange sound, like vomiting, rang out, as if it were the painful moan of a person dying.
Akasaka felt like he was about to stop breathing. He nervously wiped the sweat from his palms again and again, forcing himself to stay alert and continue fiddling with the door lock as if nothing was wrong. Although he didn't know why Cheng Shuang wouldn't let him turn around, the other party's calmness and composure gave him some confidence.
Even though the chilling sound was getting closer.
Cheng Shuang racked her brains, the familiar feeling lingering in her mind, making her feel suffocated. But she didn't hesitate to take out a large bucket of green liquid, rush to the stairwell, and splash it.
The creepy woman never expected anyone to choose to confront her head-on. Her eyes widened, filled with confusion, as she let the slightly thick liquid drip all over her. Before she could react, her limbs, which had been lying on the ground, slid down into the liquid.
When Cheng Shuang took out the second item, she saw the woman plunge into the wall, leaving only her body hanging outside, exuding a gloomy aura of despair.
The little girl was always ruthless towards the homeless; she poured a basin of thick paste onto the wall without any pity.
This paste was made when Uncle Du wanted to eat handmade dumplings, and everyone worked together to knead the dough! Although they ended up eating frozen dumplings, at least everyone got a bowl of paste.
After confirming that the glue had successfully stuck the crawling woman's hair, clothes, and the wall together properly, she turned around and quickly went to the door, tried pushing it, and sure enough, the door opened.
This time, Akasaka reacted incredibly quickly, taking the initiative and pulling Cheng Shuang up. They ran like cannonballs, reaching the iron gate in just a few steps.
Cheng Shuang quickly glanced back at the plaque next to the door, which read 'Saeki'.
Ah! She knows who this deflated ball is!
The Kayako in the famous Japanese horror film "Ju-on" looks exactly like it.
This is definitely not a coincidence!
In addition, Kayako's husband's surname was Saeki.
The young girl, who had watched countless horror movies, didn't have a deep impression of the curse-themed horror genre like 'Ju-on'. It was scary, but the formula was the same over and over again. Watching one was equivalent to watching a hundred. The ending was unsolvable, and there was nothing to learn from it.
The only solution is to avoid making mistakes in the first place.
But if you don't court disaster, there won't be a sequel to the movie.
The existence of the Land of Death is not affected by the maintainer's will; it remains there regardless of whether the maintainer wants to die or not!
So she only watched 'Ju-on' once, and she had basically forgotten the plot. She only remembered that a man killed his wife and children, as well as the wife and children of the rival whom his wife had a crush on.
Cheng Shuang has always been puzzled by this logic.
The deceased wife's resentment deepened, turning the house into a haunted place. Anyone who touched it would die, including the man she secretly loved. Her indiscriminate attacks were no different from those of homeless people targeting humans.
Outside the house, the sun had set below the horizon, its afterglow faint, preventing darkness from falling before nightfall.
The streetlights on both sides lit up, elongating the shadows of the two children. If Akasaka had been observant, he would have noticed that no one else dared to approach them.
Cheng Shuang was being pulled along by Akasaka, who was running wildly with his head down. Her gaze swept across the second floor. A pair of cat-like black eyes appeared in the second-floor window, and a pale little boy clung to the windowsill, staring intently at her.
The little girl curled her lips, raised two fingers and slid them across her forehead, giving Saeki Toshio a salute—"I'll take your cat!"
Toshio Saeki: I've seen people who are looking for death, but this is the first time I've seen someone who's looking for death and doesn't even care about making things worse.
Cheng Shuang didn't remember the specific details of Ju-on very clearly, but one thing stuck with her: almost everyone who left Saeki's house would be haunted by Kayako, without any discernible pattern, and they would all die.
Following the general formula of several film series, the black cat gives a warning, Toshio clears the way, the atmosphere is well built up, and then the big boss Kayako makes a grand appearance.
So tonight, she felt a bit uncertain. She had captured one of the atmosphere-enhancing cats, the black cat. She didn't know if Kayako would come, but Toshio would definitely come to discuss with her how to be a good cat owner, rather than a good cat-tying offender.
Just imagine if anyone dared to kidnap her teddy bear, wow, she could research the ten most brutal tortures of ancient times and give them to him, and thoughtfully let him experience them all.
It seems I need to take a break; it's going to be a tough battle.
However, compared to things that haven't happened yet, the problems we are about to face are even more difficult to solve.
Cheng Shuang looked down at the pearl earring lying in her palm and silently put it back in her pocket.
In the photo of Akasaka's mother, she is wearing a pair of the same earrings.
After Kojiro ran away, it's unlikely that Akasaka's mother would have been as indifferent as she appeared; she probably also came to the Saeki family's house when she went out to look for him...
As for why she lied, Cheng Shuang had no idea.
As they neared home, Chisato Akasaka slowed her pace, glancing back anxiously at her friend whom she had dragged back the whole way, and then at the cardboard box in her arms.
"Yuko, why do you think the door is locked?" He finally asked after holding back for a long time.
Cheng Shuang was panting heavily. She was even more tired after running two laps. Now, besides lying down, she didn't want to rack her brains to comfort the child's sensitive and fragile heart. "It was the wind, or the lock was stuck!"
"What...what was that gagging sound?"
"There's a pregnant woman next door. Can't she feel uncomfortable?"
Chisato Akasaka stared blankly, mouth agape, for a long moment before frowning and muttering to herself, "Is that so? Have I been scaring myself all along?"
