Diary of a Coconut

March 12 (nine years later)

Today, I attended the opening ceremony of Toshio School, and I met Kobayashi! Why is he Toshio's teacher? What the hell does God want me to do? What should I do? My head is a mess right now.

March 14 (nine years later)

Toshio went home today and said that his father and mother who painted today were praised by Mr. Kobayashi. In the painting, I am wearing a white dress. But Xiaolin doesn't know that I have only worn white clothes for so many years because of him! It's because he once said back to me that Miss Kawamata is very suitable for white clothes.

Kobayashi Kobayashi

……

Nobuyuki Suzuki was watching an evening TV series at home, and the lights were not turned on in the room, only the light emitted by the screen was bright and dark.

He has been an obedient and introverted child since he was a child, and he prefers to do his own thing quietly by himself rather than with a group of friends.

He was always alone, but not bored.

Because he can see all kinds of "things" exist. A child squatting in an elevator every day, a woman getting on a bus on a sunny day soaking wet, an elderly man walking back and forth in the middle of the road covered in blood, and a head in a supermarket locker......

At first, he thought that being able to see these "things" was an ability that everyone had, and he heard that his aunt Hibiki had also been like this since she was a child.

Until one day he told his table that every day at noon a girl in a checkered skirt would fall from the classroom window, the table insisted on not believing it, and rarely spoke to him again. Not only that, but he was always whispering to a few other classmates, and his eyes were aimed in his direction from time to time.

After that, he decided never to tell anyone about the "things" he saw.

Nobuyuki's parents divorced half a year ago, and his father moved to No. 205, Building D, this apartment building with him, and it happened that the country's economic situation was not good, and his father often worked overtime until late, and he was watching TV in the dark almost every night.

From the first day he moved here, he felt that there was something in this apartment. Strangely, this time he couldn't see anything, only vaguely aware that the "thing" had a resentful and extremely evil will.

The picture on the TV suddenly began to distort for a while, and then turned into black and white snowflake dots.

What's going on? Is it broken? Nobuyuki knelt on the tatami mat and climbed over, took out his years of experience in repairing televisions, and slapped three palms against the back cover.

It seems to be okay, some images appear on the screen, but there is no sound.

Nobuyuki's face was leaned in front of the screen, staring motionless.

In the picture, a tall pregnant woman is on the phone and caressing her belly, probably hearing the doorbell, she hurriedly hung up the phone and walked to open the door.

The comer, a burly, bald man, who, after a few words with his hostess in the hallway, suddenly turned around and closed the door, fastened the chains, and walked into the house with his shoes on.

The hostess stepped back and shouted something.

The man took out a thick-bladed kitchen knife from his bag, his bloodshot eyes looked straight at the hostess's big belly, and a distorted and weird smile appeared on his oily face.

As he got closer and closer, the hostess reached out and tried to push it away, but his tall body did not move, and he still slowly raised the kitchen knife in his hand.

The hostess was terrified, and turned back and fled to the inner room. As soon as she turned around, the man reached out from behind and grabbed her long hair, pulled her back with all his might, and threw her to the ground with her back down.

The hostess howled silently, as if begging desperately. The man ignored it, grabbed the woman by the hair, and slammed the back of her head on the floor, once, again, again...... Until the woman fainted.

The man looked at the unconscious hostess on the ground, smiled and lifted her fat maternity blouse, exposed her belly, and slashed it off.

……

Nobuyuki looked at this incomparably bloody picture, his face was pale, and the look in his eyes gradually disappeared, turning from sluggishness to complete emptiness, as if the original soul inside was gone, and only a breathing puppet remained.

On the screen, the man is staring intently at the fetus in his hand that is no longer moving. Then, slowly turning around, his blood-sprayed face turned towards Nobuyuki off-screen, baring his teeth and smiling.

……

Qi Zihuan was in a hurry to the house of letters, accompanied by the soulless Xiangzi.

Of course, he knew the end of Hibiki, Tatsuya, and Nobuyuki - all of them were dead, and even Hibiki even affected his parents in the countryside.

However, after Chu Renmei's earnest conversation with Teacher Mao, he has begun to regard the characters in the Heart Demon Realm world as flesh and blood as himself, and with this understanding, he feels that he can still save one and try to save the other.

There is no main thread in the world of grudges, all the victims are scattered, and it is possible to meet Miss Gaco at any time anywhere. That's why he took this opportunity to tell Hibiki and Pan, first scare her, and then try to persuade her to take Tatsuya and Nobuyuki to live in the murderous mansion.

Anyway, you'll see ghosts anywhere, so it's better to roll up the bed and live in a ghost house.

"So, all the deaths and disappearances in the newspaper clippings were caused by the curse left by this gaco?" Hibiki was incredulous at this horrific fact, even though she had seen the newspaper clippings and Gaco's diary that corroborated each other.

Qi Zihuan patiently explained: "That's right, they died in vain, and they also had a new hatred, and they were trapped in that house forever and became part of the curse. ”

"Can you see them?"

"You'll see it later, but that's when it's time to ask for your life, and no one can escape it."

"But you've been living there for days, why are you still safe?"

"I learned some methods of exorcism in Huaxia, similar to your onmyoji. It's just that the whole house is a cursed force, and I can't completely eradicate it. ”

"What if the house is burned down?" Hibiki opened his mind and came up with a seemingly feasible solution.

Qi Zihuan remembered the American version of "The Grudge" that he had watched before, and there seemed to be a plot of burning the house directly, and sighed and said: "It's useless, without the constraints of the house, this huge resentment will expand to the surroundings and involve more people in it." ”

"What then?"

"As I said, I have a little bit of an ability to ward off evil spirits. If you are willing to believe me, go and persuade your brother Tatsuya to take Shinichi and live in that house, and I may be able to keep you safe for a while. ”

"Last question, why are you helping us?" Xiangzi looked at Qi Zihuan suspiciously.

Qi Zihuan suddenly turned pale and said slowly.

"In my hometown, people like me are called Lei Feng."
