Mrs. Shimada's voice was suppressed. Even though I couldn't understand what she was saying, I could feel the heaviness in her tone.
Nan Tian looked at Bian Sijun.
Bian Sijun stared at Mrs. Shimada and translated slowly: "... My husband is not without identity, but a criminal who cannot live with his original identity. I didn't know this before marrying him. To be precise, He said, I didn't marry him. My parents died of an epidemic, and I was the only one left in the family. My house originally only had a small room. He might have stolen someone's money, fled to this place, and invaded After leaving my house, he raped me and forced me to do many things. I had no way to resist him. Those times were different from now. I couldn't call the police. The local police didn't want to deal with people like him... He had killed people, so he should He did a lot of bad things... He asked me to use the money to buy land, marry me, and after he raped me, I got pregnant and gave birth to Guang... "
Shimada Hikaru showed a dazed expression.
This past must have been something his parents had never told him.
I glanced at Mrs. Yoshinaga and Ms. Sakai. Both of them were slightly surprised and looked at Mrs. Shimada with an inquiring look.
"...Before I gave birth to Light, I had several pregnancies, but I aborted them all on purpose. I didn't want to give birth to his child. I thought of thousands of ways to kill him. He discovered my intention, and after I After I was pregnant with Guang, I was tied up and asked to be taken care of, treating me like a beast..."
Mrs. Shimada was so excited that her body was shaking slightly.
She exhaled, regained her composure, and continued her story.
"... After Guang was born, I was imprisoned by him for a long time. I must have gone crazy at that time. It was what people call depression nowadays. I couldn't control my emotions. I resigned myself to my fate... I began to accept my fate. , accept the light. I thought about ignoring him and living well. He had a cat at that time."
There was obvious disgust on Mrs. Shimada's face.
"The thing scratched Hikaru, and ran around disturbing the guests. Wild cats from the mountains also ran into the hotel. He suddenly became fascinated by those cats, feeding them, raising them, and not restraining them at all. My temper became violent. Once, I couldn't help but throw a cat into the pool. It was the pool behind the shrine. The cat I drowned was black and white."
Mrs. Shimada continued speaking forcefully.
"He picked up the cat's body and built a grave for it. He didn't know that I killed the cat on purpose. He thought it was an accident and wanted to demolish the pool. He was so frustrated that he wanted to Filling up the hot spring in the hotel to prevent other cats from accidents. I think this is unreasonable. But I also seem to be possessed, and I have malice. I saw him worrying about those beasts, and I developed a desire for revenge. I The cat he buried was dug out and hung with a rope inside the shrine.”
Mrs. Shimada sneered.
"It was this incident that made him suspect me. We had a big fight, and he beat me. Then he wanted to imprison me, and even wanted to kill me. We fought many times, and both of us were Like crazy. That day, similar to now, was a bad day with a blizzard. He was drunk and fell asleep indoors. I saw this was an opportunity to kill him. I opened the window and extinguished the charcoal fire in the room. The next day, I found that he had actually frozen to death."
Mrs. Shimada's smile widened.
"I was so happy and scared to see him dead. I was afraid that someone would doubt me. Before anyone else found out, I took off his clothes and threw him into the hot spring pool. It was in the hotel. The waiter discovered his body. There were not many technical means at that time. He was thought to have accidentally drowned in the hot spring. Some people also doubted me, but in the end nothing happened."
At this time, everyone seemed to be fascinated, staring at Mrs. Shimada's calm behavior.
I saw the hatred on "Han Ji's" face. The Yin Qi in her body also fluctuated.
This surprised me.
Her target is Mrs. Shimada
Bian Sijun continued to translate Mrs. Shimada's narrative.
"... After he died, I owned the hotel completely. I could not remarry, so I raised Guang. I regarded him as my support for the rest of my life. But he remembered that man. After he became an adult, he couldn't wait to leave He left me and went to live in other places, and he didn't even want to let me have contact with his wife and son. If I hadn't been old and the land of the hotel was worth a lot of money, he might not have been willing to come back and recognize me as his mother. "
Mrs. Shimada looked at her son Hikaru Shimada sarcastically.
Shimada Hikaru couldn't help but say a few words.
Bian Sijun opened his mouth wide and stammered: "... He said, he said that Mrs. Shimada is a lunatic... who believes in an evil god or something... to force him to do anything... "
Mrs. Shimada interrupted Hikaru Shimada's accusation with one word.
"Mrs. Shimada said it was to protect Hikaru Shimada..."
"She said that she knew that thing had been spying on her and Shimada Hikaru. The cat she killed and the man were always here. She just asked people to do rituals, bought a lot of talismans, and invited Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva from the shrine. She returned to the hotel and worshiped again. She also built a new Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva shrine locally... "
"She said that she was doing it to protect them. It had been normal in the hotel before. Until he came back to inherit the land in the hotel, and asked someone to measure and appraise it... It must have been that time that someone destroyed the... barrier here? I don't quite understand. The word she said seemed to be the name of some magic ritual...ah..."
Bian Sijun covered his mouth.
Shimada Hikaru said something before.
I saw everyone looked surprised.
Daiki Shimada was pulled in front of Hikaru Shimada.
The child still looked confused.
Shimada Hikaru held Shimada Daiki's shoulders and asked something.
Daiki Shimada cried "Wow" and yelled one word.
I can understand this word.
He's saying "cat."
Bian Sijun murmured: "They said, Shimada Hikaru said, this is all caused by Shimada Daiki. Shimada Daiki came here when he was born. There was a cat at the door at that time... It was Shimada Daiki crying... His father hugged the cat Come in... Shimada Hikari scolded them when he saw the cat. The cat ran away and could not be found. It was a black and white cat, just like... just like the one Mrs. Shimada killed. Only… "
They took the initiative to bring the cat into the house and into the enchantment.
I looked at "Han Ji".
The hatred in "Han Ji"'s eyes has disappeared.
Mrs. Shimada stared at her great-grandson Shimada Daiki for a while, then slowly closed her eyes.
I asked "Han Ji": "Is that your... partner?"
This is the most reasonable explanation I can think of.
That cat is not a female ghost.
It obviously has its own purpose, perhaps it was bribed by the female ghosts, or perhaps it was to avenge Mrs. Shimada for killing him. It sneaked into the house first, gradually destroying the defense that Mrs. Shimada had put up so hard.
Honda was lured to death...
Ono, Takahashi, and that woman who were later killed...
Mrs. Shimada said something to the director, which caused the director to escape from the hotel. They entered the mountain and saw a shrine and a waterhole. That is the real territory of the female ghost. They were frightened by the female ghost and the cat and begged them back, completely destroying the fence.
All defenses are gone.
During the time they left, I am afraid that the female ghosts who had sneaked into the hotel had completely taken over the place. Everyone here is possessed by them.
I kept looking at "Han Ji".
If they want to take revenge, they already have enough chance of winning.
"Han Ji" didn't mean to take any action. She was always unhurried.
I thought of the client who died at the hands of the female ghost, of the people Qingye investigated who were driven crazy and frightened to death by them, and of Yiyi who died in the pond for a long time without being reincarnated...
For female ghosts, attacking living people may not be just for revenge, and revenge should not simply kill the reincarnation of the enemy.
I have some chills.
They want to torture the people they hate...
Mrs. Shimada was not scared yet, and most of the people present were not scared to the point of collapse.
It's not time for them to take their lives yet.
Suddenly there was heavy footsteps outside the door.
The shadows of many people were reflected on the paper door. Those people stood outside the door, filled the corridor, and stopped outside the room without saying a word.
The people in the room left the door in unison, staring nervously at the thin paper door.
