Chapter 127: The Truth

Twilight Takayama held the steering wheel in his right hand, and his left hand was handcuffed to Sadako Yamamura's right wrist while holding a pistol, motionless as he pointed at Sadako Yamamura in the passenger seat. She had closed her eyes now, and she looked unconscious, but Takayama Twilight didn't dare to let go for a second.

Hakone is only about 100 kilometers from Tokyo, and after a three- or four-hour journey, Takayama Twilight drove all the way along the road in poor condition to Hakone, a place that might have the potential to be a resort in the future.

He tugged at the shackles on his left wrist and asked Sadako Yamamura to show the way. The woman opened her eyes, took a few seconds to make out the terrain, and then pointed to a path that led to the woods by the sea.

After driving for more than ten minutes, the mountain road was so narrow that it was no longer possible to let the car move forward. Takayama Twilight opens the car door, pushes Sadako Yamamura down, and then climbs down again.

Ahead, a lonely cottage that looks almost like a set from a classic ghost movie, with vines crawling on the exterior walls and wooden windows nailed up as if the people living inside could not see the light. Takayama checked his pistol again, made sure that the bullet was loaded and ready to be fired, and then pulled out a small flashlight, turned on the light, and held it in his mouth. He then dragged Sadako Yamamura in front of him, using her body as a shield to cover himself.

He quietly pushed Sadako Yamamura forward, kicked the rotten door open, and quickly aimed at what was inside.

Nothing.

Messy furniture stacked on top of each other, bags of convenience food, unwashed dishes and chopsticks, and mountains of books......

Everything is not like a place where normal people live. Sadako Yamamura opened her eyes and glanced around, revealing a bitter look.

"Ahem, ahem...... Who is it, the thief? There's nothing of value here. ”

A withered voice came from the stairs of the villa, and Takayama quickly pointed his flashlight and pistol there, and found that it was a man who described him as withered. The man was large, but thin, with a white robe, very energetic, but sloppy, with white hair on his temples and scattered over him, and his beard looked like it hadn't been shaved for a week or two.

"Don't move! Raise your hands and lie on the wall! Japanese Public Security Police Officer! ”

Takayama Twilight roared, his pistol in his right hand aimed firmly at the old man's head, and he would shoot him as soon as he moved. He squinted, and seemed to make out some features on the old man's face. The face gave him a vague impression of the fact that he had seen the briefing twenty years ago, when he was still a heroic associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Tokyo and was becoming the focal point of the entire medical community......

“…… Dr. Heihachiro Ikuma? ”

“…… It was me. The withered man turned on a switch somewhere, and the dim light bulb lit up the entire room, and he saw Takayama Twilight and the Yamamura Sadako in his hand, and then let out a long sigh and said softly, "I had long guessed that there would be a ...... of this day"

Takayama Twilight pushed Sadako Yamamura forward, and he pressed Heihachiro Ikuma tightly with his gun, forcing him into a corner, and roared in a low voice, "Dr. Heihachiro Ikuma! What the hell are you doing research!? What the hell is going on?! I order you now, hand over that sister of hers, and I'm going to ......"

"You want to kill them, right?" Heihachiro Ikuma said quietly.

".................." Takayama Twilight didn't panic when his true intentions were revealed, and he shot Dr. Ikuma in the leg, and after a loud bang, the withered man sat down on the steps, "That's right, you guessed it, I can't let such a monster continue to live in this world...... Now, tell me, where is the other Adept?! ”

"Shhh......h Don't wake her up...... Otherwise...... You're going to die. ”

".................." Without hesitation, Takayama shot Dr. Ikuma's other thigh, but the other man only trembled a little, and the expression on his face did not change at all.

"Do you know this superintendent? Pain is just a physical illusion......" An eerie smile appeared on Heihachiro Ikuma's face, "As long as you have a period of training in your will, you can also do this, completely ignoring physical pain." After Sadako's mother and I were expelled from academia, I practiced here under a waterfall for several years, hoping to train my mind as well. It's not as powerful as she and her mom, but ...... I can control my nerves, especially after living with the most terrifying monster in the world for so many years......"

A shocked expression suddenly appeared on Heihachiro Ikuma's thin face, and he whispered in despair, "You shouldn't have shot...... You shouldn't wake her up......"

The hairs on Takayama's whole body exploded, and he quickly turned around a few times with his pistol, searching around for something suspicious with his eyes as sharp as a falcon. Unexpectedly, Heihachiro Ikuma quickly reached out and pulled a switch, and the whole house fell into darkness.

"Damn—you bastard!!" In order to speak, Takayama had already put away his flashlight with his left hand just now, and at this moment, he took out the flashlight as fast as he could, and then unscrewed the switch.

"Can't see the light - turn off your flashlight and leave the room and never come back...... Otherwise, you will die here, and the demons will be unleashed by your atrocities......" Heihachiro Ikuma, who was sitting on the ground, said quietly.

"No, it's too late." Sadako Yamamura, who had not spoken, said calmly, "My sister...... It's already here. ”

Twilight Takayama frantically scanned the area with his flashlight, and his hand holding the pistol began to tremble. An invisible oppressive force began to invade his psyche, trying to transform him into a madman who had lost his mind. His subconscious had already made him understand what kind of evil was approaching him, what kind of pure beastliness he was, the offspring of demons sacrificed by people with flesh and blood, and the collection of black mental power full of negative consciousness.

He turned slowly and put the pistol to Sadako Yamamura's forehead. Under the light of the flashlight, the girl's face was pale and dead.

"I see...... I see......" muttered Takayama Twilight, "you never had a sister, and as I thought before, it was just another personality imaginary of you, a madwoman." Your mind can't bear the consequences of an out-of-control force, so you imagine an evil self. You're nothing more than an escapist personality splitter! That destroyer, the evil will, is nothing but your own evil thoughts! You pretend to be so kind, just because you have completely cut your evil self out of the devil! That's why you can maintain such a pure and pitiful appearance...... I was deceived by you! Just kill you and everything will be solved! Even if bullets don't kill you, with knives, with fire, with explosives - just kill you, it's all over!! ”

Sadako Yamamura looked at him calmly, a hint of pity gradually appeared in her eyes, and Twilight Takayama's fingers on the trigger gradually tightened, and then he realized that Sadako Yamamura's eyes didn't seem to be looking at herself, but at ...... Something near your shoulder.

“…… You're wrong. Mr. Takayama. Sadako Yamamura closed her eyes, "I'm sorry to see you again." ”

Takayama froze, he already sensed that something was wrong. A small cold hand reached from the back of his neck, limp limbs wrapped around his neck, hair like aquatic plants fluttering around his neck, and he knew that something was attached to his back, something like a mollusk, evil and indescribable.

He turned his head slowly, and saw the indescribable, soft creature wrapped in a white robe.

An unsound wail came from the villa, followed by three successive gunshots, and then another.

At the end of the day, everything fell silent.

——————————————

In the night sky, a giant bird with its wings fluttering fell from the sky, and then mercilessly stepped on the little Toyota, stepping on the roof of the car into a huge depression. Su Jing tied up his long hair with a hairband, so as not to be blown by the wind in the air and affect his vision.

He jumped out of the roof of the car and glanced through the window, but found no clue. Then he set his eyes on the dilapidated dwelling in front of him.

Su Jing turned on his infrared vision and psionic vision, and the silver long whip in the sleeve of his right hand slightly revealed a head, and walked towards this ominous mansion step by step. Then his figure was swallowed up by the shadow cast by the villa in the moonlight.

He walked through the open door and was somewhat surprised to see a corpse lying on his back on the ground. It was the short, stocky middle-aged man he remembered before, his face was full of horror, his mouth was wide open, and his right hand was holding a police revolver that had been emptied of bullets. On his temple, there was a deep bullet hole that ran from the right to the left. Su Jing touched his body temperature, he died probably more than an hour to two hours ago.

He stood up, looked around, and saw the decrepit old man sitting on the stairs. If it weren't for the fact that he still had heat on his body, then Su Jing really almost thought of him as a dead man. He just sat there, not breathing of life out of his body.

Su Jing walked in front of the old man and poured gentle and powerful spiritual power into his brain, to his surprise, this person's will was so tenacious that it was difficult for him to influence.

With this stimulus, the person sitting on the stairs opened his eyes.

"Ah...... You are...... Ahem, Sadako's ...... Man, it's it. Heihachiro Ikuma coughed twice with difficulty, he took Su Jing's hand and whispered, "I'm going to die soon...... However, you must eliminate her...... Destroy that thing. ”

“…… Destroy whom? Eliminate Sadako? Su Jing raised one eyebrow.

"No...... It's not Sadako...... It's another Sadako. Heihachiro Ikuma looked at Su Jing with the eyes of a dying man, and there was a faint ghost fire burning in his eyes, "Others have always thought ...... I'm Sadako's biological father...... But only Shi Jinzi and I know about it...... She...... It's the son of a demon......"

Su Jing listened motionlessly.

"In the beginning, there was only one ...... And then...... It split into two ......," Heihachiro Ikuma's long nails cut into Su Jing's skin, "I saw it with my own eyes...... When Sadako was in elementary school, she wailed all night and then ...... It's like a slug, another person splits out of her body! ”
