Chapter 66: Sadako

“Gulp!”

The ex-husband’s scalp tingled, he swallowed hard, and finally believed the story Li Wei told.

However, strangely, the ex-husband plugged the USB into the smart TV and finished watching the mysterious video, but his phone didn’t ring.

Afterward.

The ex-husband was sitting on a bench by the sidewalk, looking down, when he suddenly saw a pair of feet wearing white shoes, but when he looked up, he didn’t see anyone.

Everything seemed strange and eerie.

Through investigation.

The ex-husband finally found the woman in the mysterious video on the horror USB drive and the location where the incident occurred.

It turned out that a long time ago, on a seaside island called Sanyuan Island, a woman predicted major events like volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and cult suicides, but was treated as a monster.

Because she couldn’t stand the rumors, she committed suicide afterward.

And on the other side.

Li Wei took her son Zhang Yang to visit her father. At night, after hearing the results of her ex-husband’s investigation, she went to sleep full of worries.

But.

When she woke up in the middle of the night.

She found that her son had actually plugged the horror USB into the computer and was watching it alone.

Li Wei was both angry and scared as she hugged her son.

“Mom, I was just curious what was inside?”

Her son said innocently.

Li Wei was both shocked and afraid, wanting to cry but having no tears.

Now all three of them had watched the mysterious video on the USB drive. If they couldn’t break the curse and secrets in the USB drive, I’m afraid their family of three would really die.

For her son.

Li Wei and her ex-husband went to Sanyuan Island to investigate.

On the way, the ex-husband told Li Wei:

“The woman combing her hair in front of the mirror in the video is named An Xiaoyi, legend has it she possessed special abilities…”

Li Wei widened her eyes: “Special abilities?”

“Yes, that’s the legend. She later married a doctor in Japan who specialized in researching special abilities. They had a daughter. After An Xiaoyi went crazy and committed suicide, the doctor disappeared with their daughter.”

“Daughter…”

……

In the hall.

“Daughter? Although that phone ringtone sounds terrifying, the voice seems to be sung by a little girl. Could it be related to this daughter?”

“Special abilities? It’s getting more and more confusing.”

“The family of three all watched the video. I wonder if they can break this deadly curse.”

“Based on my years of experience watching ghost movies, it’s definitely unsolvable.”

“……”

The audience whispered, discussing the plot.

The plot at this time didn’t have many horror elements, but the audience watched with great interest.

Everyone wanted to know who the white-clad ghost was and why it was created.

……

On the big screen.

Li Wei and her ex-husband arrived at Sanyuan Island, and after explaining their purpose, they stayed at the home of An Xiaoyi’s cousin.

Hoping to find some clues here.

Afterward.

They confirmed the relationship between An Xiaoyi and the doctor from a photo.

Then.

The ex-husband found An Xiaoyi’s cousin by the sea again.

And learned the truth from the cousin’s memories.

It turned out that An Xiaoyi didn’t go crazy and commit suicide by accident; there was another story behind it.

Because she had special abilities, the doctor summoned the whole village to let her demonstrate her abilities in front of them, but because she was nervous, she couldn’t use her special abilities.

The people in the village were all laughing at her:

“What special abilities? Laughing to death!”

“She’s just a monster!”

“Monster!”

“……”

At this time, a little girl wearing a white dress with black hair covering her face appeared. She couldn’t accept her mother being mocked and used her mind-reading superpower to kill a villager.

Her name was Sadako, the daughter of An Xiaoyi and the doctor.

An Xiaoyi saw this scene and went crazy.

She ran to the cliff and jumped off.

The next day, the doctor took Sadako and left the island.

……

After the cousin finished telling the story, the ex-husband went to find Li Wei.

But he saw Li Wei walking by the sea in a daze.

The camera zoomed in on Li Wei’s eyes; in her eyes was another scene.

In the black and white screen.

A mother was calling her daughter’s name.

“Sadako! Sadako!”

But her daughter didn’t seem to hear and kept walking forward.

The girl was in a long white dress, with black hair covering her face, and her face couldn’t be seen clearly.

Li Wei watched her walking toward her.

In a trance, she wanted to reach out and stop her.

At this moment.

She saw the girl put a hand on her wrist. Li Wei looked at the hand and saw that the girl’s fingernails were peeled off, and the flesh was bloody…

“Xiao Wei!”

“Xiao Wei!”

The ex-husband’s voice came, and Li Wei woke up in shock.

She understood.

It turned out that all of this was Sadako’s curse!

It was Sadako who was killing people!

The audience couldn’t help but feel a chill down their backs.

“That little girl is so scary! The way her black hair covers her face is too scary!”

“And her hands… why is there so much blood on them?”

“Sadako? Is this the owner of the eye with the word ‘Zhen’ written on it in the video?”

“After the doctor took her away, what happened? Why did she become a ghost?”

……

Because the horror USB drive was found in the hotel.

Li Wei guessed that perhaps Sadako had a great connection with that hotel.

Then they returned to the hotel.

Sure enough, they found the ancient well that appeared in the video under the hotel.

Li Wei also learned the truth.

Scenes of black and white images flashed through her mind.

It turned out that after the doctor took Sadako away from the island, they came to the outskirts of Liancheng.

When Sadako wasn’t paying attention, he pushed her into the ancient well.

Sadako’s resentment and thoughts were thus transformed into the power of a curse, attached to the mysterious USB drive.

Therefore, those who watched the video on the USB drive would die.

Afterward.

The ex-husband went down the well to check.

“Splash…”

“Splash…”

Amidst the sound of water in the well, the ex-husband held a rope in one hand and a flashlight in the other, searching in the well water.

Another closed environment similar to a locked room.

The light was extremely dim.

And he had to fish for a corpse in the water…

At this moment.

The audience widened their eyes, held their breath, and didn’t dare to breathe, but their hearts were pounding, eyes fixed on the screen.

They all knew Sadako’s corpse was in the well.

Sadako had been dead for who knows how many years; heaven knows what the corpse looked like after being soaked.

Tension, fear, suppression, eeriness… filled every audience member’s heart.

There was even some excitement, and adrenaline was soaring.

Finally, Li Wei went into the water.

She looked scared, kept talking to herself to cheer herself up, while groping in the water…

Suddenly.

“｀ ～Splash!”

A bloodless hand emerged from the water!

Li Wei was startled and terrified.

But for the sake of her son, she gathered her courage to pull this hand.

“Splash…”

Amidst the sound of water in the well, a head full of black hair appeared, the face couldn’t be seen, and the hair floated on the water surface.

This scene was extremely creepy.

The audience felt their scalps tingle and their backs chill; they were all scared to death.

Soon.

The police arrived.

They took away Sadako’s corpse.

Outside the hotel, Li Wei, wrapped in a bath towel, watched the police car drive away, a smile appearing on her face.

“The curse is broken… you can rest in peace too.”

She whispered to herself.

……

By this time, the audience finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Many people looked at each other and smiled.

Their state of mind was the same as Li Wei’s in the movie; they seemed to have broken free from the curse at this moment and were rejoicing in their rebirth.

However.

A-Mu and A-Dai frowned respectively.

“If the movie ends here, this movie can only be considered average.”

“Yes, it lacks a bit of flavor.”

The two were professional film critics and had their own understanding of various movies. From the previous plot, it could be seen that the screenwriter had been accumulating suppression, eeriness, and horror. If it ended here…

“The whole movie would seem like a tiger’s head and a snake’s tail.” A-Dai commented.

A-Mu said: “I remember, the total duration of the movie is 100 minutes, and now, 85 minutes have passed…”

The two looked at each other and understood that there was still plot behind.

Or even say, it was possible that this curse hadn’t been broken at all.

Sadako would still kill people.
