Chapter 22: Mourning

……

The speed at which that hand reached out was too fast.

The angle was extremely tricky.

However, in this process—

Huaiyou also seemed to notice this subtle change behind him.

Perhaps due to the loss of fresh blood, his brain seemed to have become exceptionally clear in this process.

His senses seemed to have been improved to a certain extent.

With the mask on his head, Huaiyou's exposed eyes looked bright and strange.

It was as if it wasn't quite himself.

So at this time, Huaiyou covered his bloodied arm and dodged to the side.

But unfortunately—

Although he dodged that hand—

But the little boy who walked out from the corner didn't intend to let go at this moment.

His movement speed was abnormally fast, as agile as a cat.

Almost at the same time Huaiyou dodged the hand he reached out at the beginning, he made another light movement and pounced over again.

Huaiyou—

Was a normal person.

His hands were injured so badly, even if his mental senses were slightly improved for some reason—

It was even extremely likely because of the existence of fresh blood.

But at this time, facing this repeated action—

And the eerie hair hanging down from the ceiling, plus the cracked wound on his back, every movement actually involved a heart-wrenching pain.

So, how could he dodge it completely?

The eerie hair, although constantly waving, didn't entangle him.

But the child behind, who was actually Saeki Toshio who had appeared many times—

He quickly rushed in front of Huaiyou.

If the distance just now could still be dodged, then now the other party had arrived in front of him, so Huaiyou couldn't escape at all.

Truly powerless.

He only felt the world in front of him dim for a moment, and then it was black.

The child's face, which was childish yet carried a bit of strangeness, magnified completely in his field of vision.

Huaiyou only felt the child's cold hands gripping his hands again at this moment, as tight as steel bars.

It was hard to imagine how a child-like him could have such terrifying strength.

Huaiyou wanted to break free.

But—

Facing this strength, he actually didn't have much strength to struggle.

The hair hung down.

It covered Huaiyou's line of sight completely, and almost within a breath, it wrapped his head tightly.

Although he was wearing a mask on his head now, the mask seemed unable to block this large-area entanglement.

Or to be precise, the mask now was just a decoration, completely unable to exert the effect of its original so-called prop.

The hair felt soft, but also carried a certain dryness; this was the terror of two completely different feelings mixed together.

Huaiyou felt the situation of being strangled by the neck appear again.

Only this time, the situation was even more terrifying than the one in the dormitory.

Now he was truly isolated and helpless.

Pain struck, the hair was tightening.

The child in front was pulling his arms tightly.

The sound of giggling beside him was getting stronger and stronger; Huaiyou clearly knew that this sound was emitted by Kayako; this sound kept expanding in his mind, like death-like fear, and had even filled his entire brain in a short time.

In front of him was pitch black; Huaiyou couldn't see things anymore, because in front of his eyes, it was also wrapped by that soft long hair.

But he heard a strange cat meow.

【Movie Prompt: Viewer is in extreme danger, please break free as soon as possible, please try your best to survive.】

Huaiyou only felt that the sound in his brain made him miserable.

A strong desire to survive erupted at this moment.

But now he was tightly restricted, and the hair wrapping his head was still tightening in this process.

The huge force made him clearly understand that his eyes were definitely congested; in front of him was a large blur, like white dots on an old TV from the 70s or 80s flickering and struggling.

"Giggle..."

In an instant—

That sound almost blew Huaiyou's head up.

Strong evil thoughts attacked from all directions; Huaiyou's wide-open mouth emitted a wheezing sound of being unable to breathe fresh air.

The child's arm exerted force instantly.

Following that was Huaiyou's left arm being broken instantly, presenting a 90-degree angle, actually bending and inserting toward the back; this was completely a position that humans couldn't bend relying on themselves.

According to normal circumstances, the extreme pain is actually accompanied by a high probability of triggering the human body's self-protection mechanism, and the extreme of pain will be a coma.

But Huaiyou now, he didn't know if it was because he had been wearing that mask, but the extreme pain kept him in a state of high sobriety.

His left hand was completely twisted and bent.

A light movement actually allowed him to touch his belly button, but it wasn't a normal angle, but rather bypassing from behind his waist.

Huaiyou's face had long been covered by the hair hanging down from the ceiling.

This hair was still tightening constantly; there was no change in the mask, but his neck position had already been strangled with fine blood beads.

This was enough to show that his skin had been broken alive.

The scene now looked abnormally eerie.

In the dim environment, a young woman with a strange face and a wide-open mouth was lying on the ceiling; her mouth was pitch black.

Her hair was very long, but below it was wrapped around a young man, a student-looking young man who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.

And at the waist of this young man, a child with a cyan skin who looked innocent was holding on tightly, only the child's action just now twisted this young man's left hand, forcing it into a terrifying position.

The atmosphere looked eerie and terrifying.

It was very obvious that this woman and child were attacking the student-looking young man at the same time.

Soon—

Huaiyou seemed to realize that his struggle was to no avail.

It also seemed that he had been strangled by the hair and didn't have much breath left.

He seemed to have given up resistance at this moment.

Fresh blood became more and more obvious, dripping from his neck, falling to the ground with the strangulation marks.

Hitting the ground, forming gorgeous blood flowers.

Death seemed to appear at this moment.

But what was eerie was that because his entire head was completely wrapped, the place where the blood had already seeped out was not just his neck.

There was also his face.

Although separated by the mask, it still seemed to have abrasions.

Or it could be because his neck was strangled tightly, a thread of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, sticking to the white mask.

And Huaiyou under the mask had a changed expression.

The arc of his mouth was getting larger and larger.

He was smiling!

"Resentment, love, is this the real curse?"

Huaiyou choked on blood in his throat and said this sentence in a subtle voice.

He used his only remaining intact right hand and pulled toward the pocket behind him.

A small, complete mirror was actually taken out by him.

This mirror was almost no different from the mirror he used as a dagger before.

Huaiyou originally had two mirrors on him.

Huaiyou exerted force in the next second; the mirror actually cut the hair like cutting tofu.

Huaiyou also fell to the ground.

These two mirrors were actually taken down by him from the balcony of that dormitory.

At that moment, he realized.

Actually, in the mirror—

His own face—

Was exactly the same as Saeki Takeo.

And Saeki Takeo was the person who killed Kayako, and was also her husband, and Saeki Toshio's father.

This was also why Huaiyou knew why he closed the door, Zhou Yanqing and the others would definitely be safe.

Because Kayako and the others would definitely come for him.

Ju Yuan could never be eliminated.

The most important way to escape—

Was actually Saeki Takeo's death.

And in this movie, Huaiyou, who was the viewer, was not only the experiencer but also Saeki Takeo in the movie.

Or rather, since he looked in the mirror and discovered this situation—

The shadow of death had almost appeared sticking to him.

Suddenly—

Huaiyou, in an instant, actually held Saeki Toshio with his only remaining right hand.

At the same time, the power that surged out allowed him to grab the hair that was suspended in mid-air and seemed to want to approach him.

He pulled forcefully.

Kayako actually fell from the ceiling at this moment!

Huaiyou held Kayako tightly at this moment, together with the child.

The smile on the mask on his face became more exaggerated at this moment.

It seemed to gradually become vivid.

An extremely manic smile and words came out of Huaiyou's mouth.

"Then let our family stay here forever!"

At this moment, he began to seem to play the real "Saeki Takeo."

And almost at this moment—

Noisy laughter sounded around.

A pitch-black coffin came out from the corner, with 4 white-clad people whose faces couldn't be seen.

Carrying the coffin, jumping up and down.

They looked exactly the same as Huaiyou's real appearance.

Huaiyou—

Looked at this scene for the last time, his eyelids twitching.

"It really came..."

【Warning Warning, Funeral Procession appeared!】
